Boxer Will Ride
In Bucking Contest
Red Corbett Watson, who meets
Eddie Burns in the ten-round bout
at the roundup grounds at Ashland,
July 4, Is well known In the ride 'era
comhoy game. Before taking up box
Jng Watson used to cow punch back
in Denver and engaged In many a
rodeo and bulldogglng contest. Wat
son has sent in his application to
the committee and expects to take
part in the finals.
-The bouts are beginning to attract
country-wide attention, and from the
orders of seat reservations that are
pouring in dally a big crowd is ex
pected on hand. McCarthy, Watson,
Burns and Seattle Frankie Burns are
alj In first-class condltilon and the
fans will surely have a great treat In
store for them. The first bout to be
staged will he on July 3, between
Johnny McCarthy and Seattle Johnny
Burns, two of the best well-known
coast champions In the country. This
should prove a fast and interesting
contest. Both are evenly matched
and are In tiptop shape to go the ten
rounds.
Red Corbett Watson and Eddie
Burns of Oakland should put up one
of the fastest bouts seen around in
these parts In many a day. Burns
and Watson can be depended upon
to do their best, as the winner of this
bout will meet Willie Ritchie at Oak
land, Cal., on the night of July 30.
so the winning of this contest means a
great deal to both. Watson is out
after the lightweight championship
of the world, and his manager, Jack

fire alarm worked beautifully and
woke up everyone in the city. The
fire turned out to be in the baker's

the wind is just right the smoke
blows down into the street In a densa
mass, and this Is the third time that
fire alarms have been turned In for
the same cause. '
