ALL IN READINESS TWENTY ROUND FIGHT THIS FOR THE BIG BOXING BOUT TONIGHT OLMEN AND MORTIMER BOTH IN EXCELLENT SHAPE FOR THE CLARES BOTH MEN FIT—GOOD PRELIMINARIES. Exactly upon the stroke 9:30 tonight Kid Olmen and Abe Mortimer, the two contestants in the twenty round go. that scheduled to be brought off in McIntyre Hall, is| proceedings tonight, will enter the ring, ; of;tween well known sets of local lads, who have been shaping ex- cellently lately, will usher in the starting in at 9 o'clock sharp. This afternoon both fighters each one in the pink of condition.| were examined by Dr. Tremayne, The greatest taken on all sides in the event} by the sport loving members of the community. Kid Olmen, who made such an excellent showing a short while ago in the ten round event with George Bronson, getting the de- cision in the fifth round, will weigh in at 154 or 152 pounds jand is in splendid form, accord- ing to his backers. Abe Mortimer is a good deal lthe heaviest man of the two, and it will take him all his time to train down to 170 pounds in or- der to fulfill the conditions of the contest, otherwise he forfeits 8100. Whether or not he is able to get down to the weight, Olmen is determined to take him laurels to his reputation, Abe Mortimer is somewhat of a dark horse, but has a host of backers and ad- mirers who are confident that their man will more than hold his own this evening in the fistie arena. Altogether it looks as if the event should be the best of its kind so far brought off in the city, Nelson Dunn, so well and pop- ularly known in loeal amateur sporting circles, will act as ref- eree, whilst Bud Corley will be there in the capacity of official time keeper. Two snappy preliminaries be- interest is being| who attested to their being in the best of condition. Mortimer will ‘make the weight by 9:30 tonight, as he is almost at the 170 mark now. In the first preliminary King- ston will go four rounds with a dusky skinned boxer named Grey. Kingston is a trifle light for his antagonist and has not had as much ring experience, but he is confident that he can hold his own. Sherman and Todd, the midgets who won so much ap- probation at the last fistic con- Lest, will make up the other intro- duectory. Both are fast, hard hitting little fellows and have a host of admirers. CLOTHING FOUND Portion of Clothing of Aviator Found on Beach Tells of Disaster.
