FANS EAGER TO SEE REAL FIGHT rAnd That's Why They're Falling Over Themselves , tu Buy Tickets Madison Square Garden Event. By FAIR PL\Y <Cop> right 1)3 b t Tl.c Admt I New York, Jan. 14. ? As show ing what will happen when a real r fight looms In the ofling it may In stated that the fans are falling ov er themselves to buy tickets for the Tiger Flowers-Jack Dolanev bout which will be held at the Madison Square Garden next Fri day night. The way things shape up thi< looks like the high light affray of the winter. Certainly nothing has already happened that has up- 1 proarhed In point of thrill or bit ter battling what this coming bout promises in (his respect and there la nothing to indicate that bouts to be held will equal it. Delaney showed rather poorly In his last appearance at the Gar den against Pal Heed, but Heed baa always been an awkward rus- i tomer and tho fact should be con sidered. too. that Delaney was not spurred up to that mood wliieli a fighter attains when he feels he Is going to be confronted by a, top-notch mixer. ' The Bridgeport middleweight M will have every reason to gear ? himself up to his highest fighting X Pitch when he .steps into the ring against the Atlanta negro. It re mains to be seen what I lit* white boy with his cleverness, liis speed r.nd his ability to hit hard and ac curately will be able to do against the negro southpaw, who never { cliuchcs. who can hit hard with either hand and has a curious style of milling that is not easy to | solve. i Reports of t lie two men at tlielr j training camps indicate that neither will make the middle weight class limit. Flowers is ex pected to weigh 1 6 r? and Delaney two or three pounds less. ?Flowers really Is in trouble when he has to fight at 16" pounds and yet he does not scale high enough to come into the' light heavy class. It is rather a mean position to occupy, or would be were It not that Flowers cares little what is the weight of an op ponent. New York. Jan. 14.? ;-A cham pionship Is within the grasp of Charley Weinert. Don't laugh boys, it's true. Charley, who grew up in New ark. was, however, born in A us- ; tria and ho has had a request . from the leading citizens of his | old native province, or county or whatevor It is. to come oyer there _ and win the heuyweight cham pionship of Europe. And the Adonis Is going to do that little thing. Don't think he can't. AM he has to do is to meet Jack Bloomfleld or Joe Beckett in England and what lie would do to either or both is a crime and then tackle Erinino Spalla, whom he should get by in handy style. Charley would sit pretty na tin heay weight champion of Europe, with Austria claiming him as her son. And Chermany would he likely to butt In with a hearty : hocli for the Teutonic rare ? which has been pretty much un der a cloud since Kaiser Hill start- j ed something he could not finish. , But first Weinert Is going to put himself in the best shape of his life by fighting a number of bouts. In his recent starts he has her. ten j Homero, Flrpo and Sharkey among others, "and now ho I* hooked to mingle once more with the Chilean in Boston. Tommy Gibbon* stowed Jack Burke away the other night, a fact which lands color to the fact that the St. -Paul mauler is improving in his hitting.
