Thia will make the third time these two fghtlng Irishmen have faced each other in Klamath Falls, with only two pair ot gloves between them and temporary extinction. Both former fights between Daly and McFadden have been draws, la spite of the fart that on the last event the two lads fought desper ately to gain a decision, each for himself. If the third time is to prove a showdown, ring fans ran expect an even tougher and more thrilling battle than ever. The preliminary, slated as a sur prise event on the card, will be just that, according to Matchmaker Mueller, who refuses to divulge the exact nature of the type of fight ing manhood which is to step Into the roped arena on the initial gong of the evening. "We're out to put on the best fight card of the year." Mueller de clared." and under the present line up we feel thafwe-ve accomplished much toward realizing that aim. right now.
