ERIE ZANDERS TO

FIGHT AT EAST CHICAGO

(BY SPIKE.) The second- wrestling and .boxing

carnival staged by Manager Joe Elmpson at the Coliseum rink at East Chicago last night) proved a success from every standpoint but one, and that was the small but enthusiastic crowd who

watched the excellent bouts. They

were far the most Interesting and fastest bouts that have been staged in this vicinity in many moons and although

the public did not lend its support, the management will try again by staging another card next Friday night. Manager Joe Simpson also demonstrated

that he knows something about the

art of matchmaking and when the

youngsters stepped into the ring each opponent was equal in stature and when they got into action they were able to mix It. No encouragement from the crowd was needed as several times

when they got too noisy Simpson announced that he would call a halt to

the bouts if It was not stopped. Chief MeCormick and a number of police

were at the ringside and were well sat

isfied in the manner the bouts were staged.

The curtain raiser brought two clev

er grapplers on the mat and what

Young Hackenschmldt didn't know

about the game Joe My nil vy of Kast

Chicago showed him the balance. Al

though an amateur Mysllvy put it all

over the Russian Lion by taking the

only two .falls and if we are not mistaken somebody ' will' hear from the East Chicago grappler. ln.a short time

as he is hailed as a comer. The falls were both by a bar hold the first In 7:30 and the second in 2:10. Battling Wells and Kid Polly of Chicago went four slow, rounds at 115 pounds in the preliminary and although they, did not mix it until the last round they gave a good exhibition of fighting and cleverness. Both men played the waiting game and as a result the match proved the only uninteresting one on the card. Kid Polly was a little. the heavier of the two and seemingly did not care whether he hit his opponent or not as he missed many an opportunity If he did. In the second contest Vincent Ketchel and Eddie Wells at 123 pounds fought four fast rounds resulting In a shade for Wells. At the tap of the gong in the first round both men appeared willing to get together and wading into each other In fast style they gave the fans a clever exhibition of the flstlo game. Wells did most of the leading and appeared to have the K. O. punch of the two and If the men had worn lighter gloves there might have been a differtnt ending. Jack Archer of Chicago failed to put In his appearance at the seml-wlndup and as a partner for Stockyards Tommy Murphy Bob Gray, a colored fighter

of Gary, agreed to go on. This was j Murphy's debut before the Lake county I fans and after seeing six fast rounds they agreed that every inch of him is a fighter and when he meets Jimmy Murphy of Chicago in a short time a larg- '. er crowd of fans will be there to greet ' him. Although the ebony boy was willing to take and give. Murphy had a .' little the best on the steel city lad. He : gained a knockdown in the fifth round, drawing blood from Gray's nose and mouth. In the sixth Murphy again knocked Gray through the rones and as i

the time shortened things looked du-1 bloua for Gray, but the gong called a halt, giving Murphy a shade the best of the go. Jimmy Murray of Chicago issued a challenge to Murphy and the j two men will be seen together In the! Kast Chicago ring in a short time. j The wlndup between Jimmy Murphy ; and Young Griffo of Chicago was one of the fastest and cleverest bouts of the card and for six rounds both men did little else than slam-bang. In one of these wild swings Griffo floored Mur-; phy for a count of seven with a savage ' left In the first round. But Murphy was up and at it again after the sev- ' enth count and evened up matters by exchanging a few telling punches. : Neither of the men appeared tired out and could have traveled the same route over again If they had to. Griffo : seemed to have a little advantage over

Murphy In weight and had a shade the '

better of the go. Murphy accepted a challenge from Jimmy Walsh, the English bantam, and they will appear on the card In the next few weeks. The bouts were refereed by Tommy Downee, Jack Burke of Gary and Manager Joe Simpson. Ernie Zanders and Henry Singer have been signed up for next Friday night.

f.VFARLAHD GETS HOME: WILL TRAIN WITH KELLY

-Waco, Tex., March : 9. Because the

rain refuses to stop and give the sun a

chance to shine in Texas a change In

the plans of the Sox was made. A tele

gram from the manager of Beaumont club arrived canceling the games there for today and Sunday. Immediately

thereafter a game was arranged for Sunday only between the third team of

the Sox and the Waco club to be played

here. The Sox first team departed at midnight -for Houston and the second

team left on the same train for Gal veston, to play both today and Sun day. '

Beaumont is said to have a muddy

diamond. Fearing it would be unfit for use, the management there decided to call off the game. That at least was the official -reason, though It may be that Beaumont did not care much about

seeing a "third" team give an exhibi tlon of big league baseballing.

Toe Hold Brings Injury. Plestina's Leg Is BrokenBattle , Creek, Mich., March l. Another argument In favor of barring the toe held was presented here last night in a wrestling bout between Marlon Plestlna and Yusslff Hussane. In trying for the grip made famous by Gotch the Turk backed the Italian into the ropes, and In the resultant mlxup between the wrestlers and the ropes Plestina's ankle was broken. The bout up to the time of the accident was one of the fastest seen hereabouts. Neither man had gained a fall.

Ice toward the boxer who decorated his eye was evidenced In every remark he made.. The local miller thinks he can beat the easterner to a queen's taste, and will start training today at O'Connell's.

MURPHY BATTLE TO-DAY IS TEST FOR ATTELL

Brother Monte Bets Abe Is Defeated by Murphy Pittsburg, Pa., March 9. Monte At tell, brother of Abe Attell, the exfeatherweigTit champion, believes the latter will be unable to show his old-time form in his fight with Harlem Tommy Murphy today. He let It be known today that he had wagered Abe will lose.

PACKEY STARTS WORK TODAY Predicts Neat Trimming for "Kid" Burns at Kenosha Next Friday.

They are going to put Abe Attell to

the test out in Jim Coff roth's arena in Daly City, near San Francisco, this aft

ernoon. And we look for Abraham to

pass through the fire without more

than a little scorching. That goes event

though the wily ex-champ of the feathers is up against a lightweight and a fairly tough one at that Harlem Tommy Murphy of New York. This same Murphy gave Packey McFarland a hard twenty-round fight some weeks back, and since then boxed "One Round" Hogan a draw over the same route. Murphy and Attell are billed to battle just one hour today and the referee Is empowered to render a decision If the mill goes the limit. Attell has always been bothered most by clever fellows. The maulers who trouble hi mleast are those who carry the fighting to him, winging them from all directions the Battling . Nelsons and the Tommy Murphys. Abe dotes on that kind. Because he is a strong boy and he can stand there and pick them off with both hands if they'll rush him.. That Is why he has made suckers of a lot of the lightweights and rough featherweights-.

LaVendor Cigars are pronounced exceptionally good by all emokera. .

. Packey , McFarland came home from New York yesterday to start training

for his encounter with Kid Burns next Friday nlghtt Kenosha. Packey did not show a mark from his scrap with "One Round" Hogan the other night. He looked ready to step into the ring when he got off the train. "Hogan covered up and refused to fight, else I would have stopped him," said Packey. "I'm going In great shape right now and in the Kenosha contest I'll get even with Burns for that black eye. I think he has one of those dark optics coming to him. And I'm some sharpshooter with the gloves even If I say it myself. Kmil Thiry, Packey's manager, announced that Packey probably would train with Hugo Kelly for the next week. Kelly is to box Eddie McGoorty at Kenosha, March 20, and already Is at work at a downtown gymnasium. Packey and Kelly are of the clever type of rlngster and Thiry alms to start the moff with the big gloves this afternoon. - Kid Burns and Manager Abe Marks
