the Majestic theater at Gary tonight

to watch those tough youngsters, Mickey Sheridan and Chuck Larson, swap

punches over the ten round route. This fight means a whole lot to the lightweight boys engaged, and there Is sure to be some desperate milling before a winner is returned.

Sheridan has hopes of becoming a

kingpin 133 potmder some day and

cannot afford to let Chuck put a black

mark on his record. Mickey has become

a big drawing card since he held Young

Saylor, the Hoosler crack, to a draw

In fifteen rounds, and If he can stop Larson or outpoint him decisively he will be in line for some nice matches

and plenty of coin.

The stock yards star will have a mob of admirers around the ringside tonight, and he announces he is going to show his friends that he is a classy two-handed fighter. Mickey disappointed them when he outboxed Frankle

hand through the entire ten rounds. This time he says the right hand will be as active as the left. If not more so. There la great confidence in the Sheridan camp. Neither Mickey nor his manager. Kid Howard, can see anything but a victory, for the Irishman.

They hope to win by a knockout, but falling in that are cocksure that Larson will not hold Mickey even. Larson, of course thinks differently, else he would not be In there with the mitts on tonight. Chuck is planning on a rushing fight, hoping to wear out his slim opponent and beat him over the last half of the route. A special train will take the Chicago bugs to the ringside, leaving the La Salle street station at 7:30 and returning immediately after the scrap.

On the other hand, Walsh was forced , to extend himself to the limit of his power in no less than eight of the twelve rounds and the strain finally told ' on him.
