Coming Boxing Shows

COMING BOXING SHOWS Crockey Boyle and Ellwood McCloskey Fight at National To-night To-night's the night when Crockey Boyle will have a chance to satisfy the ambition he has possessed ever since Ellwood McCloskey secured the decision over him at the Arena some time recently. The management of the National Athletic Club has acted wisely in matching these two well-known and clever fighters for its wind-up at Pennsylvania Hall, Eighth and Christian streets, to-night. Both men are anxious that their differences should be adjusted, and with the willingness with which either one of them always fights there is every assurance that they will furnish a rattling good windup to a rattling good show. Other warm members on the bill are Walter Edgarton, the "Kentucky Rosebud," and John Henry Johnson, who will be the principals in the semi-windup. The preliminaries will be fought by Ollie Butler and Teddy Banks, and George Walker and Jack Rice. Joe Amon and Fred McFadden are expected to do some great things in a special six-round bout. At the Nonpareil Athletic Club to-night the windup will be between Isadore Strauss and George Cole, and it gives promise of being a pretty mill. A keen rivalry exists between this pair, and as both are fast and aggressive fighters, it is likely they will set a hot pace from the tap of the gong. In the semi-wind-up Frank Fisher and Jimmy Devine will try conclusions. The preliminaries will bring together Jene Tummey vs. Tommy Redman, Jack McFarland vs Kid Krause and Frank Bradley vs. Buzzard Ingram. In the wind-up at the Pelican Athletic Club next Monday night Billy Berger, the game 115-pounder, will face Billy Maharg, who gave Paddy Donovan all that was coming to him last week. In the preliminaries, which will be for six rounds each, Al. Siddons, of Kensington, vs. Jimmy McHale, of Southwark; Patsy McCord, of Chestnut Hill, vs Lew Reveau of Jenkintown, "Big" Emberger, of Rising Sun, vs. "Big" Levi, of Nicetown; Paddy Shevelin, of Nicetown, vs. Ed. Lillis, of Fairhill; Dick Wilson, of Germantown, vs. Jack Rice, of Southwark. Kid Bernasconi, Danny Dougherty, Frankie Welsh, Harry Burke and Harry Berger, who will meet Tommy Feltz, Terry Edwards, George Monroe, Tommy Sullivan and Tim Kelly in the great intercity boxing contests between Philadelphia and New York, at the Penn Art Club, Twentieth street and Montgomery avenue, next Monday night, April 23, are in active training for their great battles. The local boys are confident that they will come off victorious. Word has been received from the Gotham representatives that they are prepared to show their Quaker City brethren a few new tricks at the squared circle game. The Central Athletic Club for its windup to-night will have Bull McCarthy, the old Philadelphia trial horse, and Jack Williams, the clever New Orleans boxer. In the semi-windup Jimmy Simister, of Fairmount, will be matched against Eddie McCaffrey. The preliminary bouts will bring together Arthur Brown and Tom O'Hara, Johnny McKeever and Arthur Donahue and Kid Williams and Young Harris. Tom O'Rourke is negotiating for a fistic club in Hoboken, and in the event of his success, may attempt to pull off the big fights, scheduled to take place at the Seaside Club, on the Jersey side of the river. George Franklin, of Slatington, and Jack Sullivan, of Bridgeport, fought a fifteen-round draw before the Keystone A. A., Allentown, last night. Chief of Police Donovan, of Hoboken, insists that under no circumstances will a transfer of the bouts scheduled for the Seaside A. A., Coney Island, to Hoboken be allowed. Curley Supples, the Buffalo lightweight, has been matched to meet Jack Abbott, of Victoria, at Omaha, May 5, in a twenty-round contest at 133 pounds. Charles Jeffries is anxious to meet any local light-weight boxer, Dan McConnell or Charley Norton preferred. Address care Pythian A. C. Dave Holley, of Woodbury, is desirous of clashing with Toddy Banks, and is willing to post a cash forfeit for a battle at 122 pounds.
