Show BILLY THORNTON WILL BE THE THIRD MAN IN THE RING Everything Is Humming at the Eagles' Gym "Who's Going to Win?" "Dunno," Says Promoter Billy Glasmann, "Your' re as Good Guesser as I Am." FRANKAGE. (By dex.) "Yes. we're a few feet higher than 'Frisco. Joey. But then you'll fret used to it. We're nut going 'Up, Up Every Day. " Frankie Gage settled down to real training today for his coming 20-round 20-round argument with Joe Miller at 'he Armory, Wednesday, May 1st Frankie is a bear for work clamoring out of the hay at 6 bells for a spin along the country roads, just as ani appetizer- Then he waded into tlje, punching bag and shook the rafter? in 'be gym for 20 minutes, and off to the plunge to refresh and invigorate his I sturdy physique. "Now for the big eats at Harvey's.'' says Frankie, "and theil for a look over the buxg." It sure does a fellow good to meet wp with a bo like Gage. Gentlemanly, Gentleman-ly, pleasant and talkative about everything ev-erything but his coming bout. He can spin yarns about all the worth-while bouts from New Orleans to San DlegO and then swing the argument way down lo (he bull rings of Juarez, where he wallowed around in the sawdust to the delight of the Greasers. And it's a good clean record of Frankie's, nothing noth-ing more dangerous than an occasional draw. Joey Miller will go after the rough work tomorrow morning. Joey has I been suffering wi'Ji a slight attack of the grippe for the past few days, but Is now reported as folly at himself again, i and from this on will rapidly take off the little surplus and round out into prime condition. Joey is a fine, smooth! little bunch of activity and goes about everything in a business-like manner, and is not in the habit of overlooking overlook-ing anything that will advance his interests in-terests in the ring. He's quick as a! I flash and cool as the proverbial acb- i producer. Miller has a legion of friends hereabouts and the Eagles' gym will be crowded at the workouts Promoter Billy Glasmann has announced an-nounced that Biil Thornton will again appear as the third man in the ring. This will be pleasing news to the followers fol-lowers of the game, as there is no better bet-ter choice when it comes to referees. Thornton has proved himself both fair to the public and the principals, and this is all that anyone could ask. The eight-round go between Iee Morrissey and Eddie White should draw a big bunch of fans from the! north. Lee is a big favorite with the Gem state spud producers: and there! is always plenty of kale to see him through: no matter how tough his opponent op-ponent But we can t give Lee a shade the better of the argument from this angle, as Eddie has always proved a Cast consistent mixer and he has a 1 nice little punch tucked away that J will settle almost any argument if he can succeed in placing it in just the right spot This will prove to be White's last appearance in the squared eirele. n- he leaves with the boys on Ma 5lh to do a little scrappln' "over there" with one of Johnny Browning's Boche annihilators And we can think I of no better time than riht now to wish Eddie the best of good luck and a safe return to the land of liberty. With a four-round curtain -raiser to start the bill we can't help but believe be-lieve that the big crowd of red-blooded joy hunters will be tolerably well entertained en-tertained for a couple of hours. |
