Coming Boxing Bouts

COMING BOXING BOUTS Owen Ziegler and Jack Bennett at the Penn Art Monday Night Manager McCarthy has finally settled upon Jack Bennett to meet Owen Ziegler in the wind-up at the Penn Art Club, Twentieth street and Montgomery avenue, on Monday night next. They appeared at one of the early shows of the club, and put up a go that was worth travelling miles to witness. It was a corking good bout from end to end, and so fast did the boys travel that at the conclusion the spectators were almost evenly divided in their opinion as to which of the two had the better of the exchanging. Though their styles are materially different--Bennett depending upon his exceptional quickness to land a punch and escape return, Ziegler upon his willingness to take a punch in order to get in one--they invariably put up a bout that appeals to the spectators. The semi-wind-up will be between Ed Denfass, who has a big following here, and Harry Fisher, of Brooklyn. Denfass demonstrated in his bout with big Jack McCormick his ability to give away weight, and that at the same time to render a good account of himself. Fisher is a middleweight of ability, and is well calculated to bring out all there may be in Denfass. The Ritchie Brothers will appear in the preliminaries. Clarence will be stacked up against Eddy Lenny, who has not appeared here for some time, and who will be called upon to redeem himself, and Clarence will try conclusions with Lew Ryall. It is a well balanced program. * * * Spectators always get a run for their money at the National Athletic Club, Eighth and Christian streets, and they should get a particularly good run to-night, when Jim Maloney, the champion lightweight of Ireland, and Jack Cooney, of Cincinnati, appear in the wind-up. Maloney has appeared here twice, and on each occasion he has delivered the goods. Cooney is well thought of in the western country, and is highly recommended by Tim Callahan, of this city. If the latter's judgment goes for anything then Cooney must be all right. There can be no question about the merit of the semi-wind-up. Both Paddy Donovan and George Walker have repeatedly demonstrated their ability in boxing stunts and when they get together this evening a rattling good exhibition may be looked for. The preliminaries also promise well. Snapper Ack will collide with "Kid" Decker; Eddie Rocap will try conclusions with Johnny Eagan, and Jack Ashton and John Henry Johnson will come together. A good night's sport is assured. * * * The weekly boxing show of the Central Athletic Club, 1913 Market street, takes place to-night and the program arranged is a very strong one. The wind-up will be between Jim Burke, of Brooklyn, and Dan McConnell, of Camden. Burke is becoming a strong favorite in this city by the stiff contests that he put up with Young Starr and Tommy Cleary and Dan McConnell has long been known to the sporting public as a game and determined boxer. The semi-wind-up will bring together Charley Mulhall and Billy Devine. The show will open with Bob Foster and Young Preston. They will be followed by Ike Stone and Peter King. The third will bring together George Krall and Tom Burkett.
