longer route than any other fight
they have had, and undoubtedly w!U
be returned a winner before the fin
al round lsreached. Puryear is the
classiest of the two from a sclentltic
standpoint, but what Lub lacks in
the finer points of the game he more
than makes up in aggressiveness and
punching power. This will be a
grand battle and one worth seeing,
as Abe Pollock, sporting editor of
the Denver News is the referee agre
ed upon by the principals. The box
ers and the public will be assured a
square deal, as Pollock is beyond all
doubt one of the very best referees
in the game today, with years of
experience.

The following clipping wa taken from
the Denver News on date of Monday, June
8th. It Hays In regard to the pair:
BANTAMS:
Weight, 118 Pounds, Ringside
REFEREE:
Abe Pollock, of Denver
In picking Puryear and Lub for
the Alliance fans they made a ten
strike, as both boys are the niftiest,
fastest little fellows ever developed
in the West, and are great favorites
.everywhere. They are so evenly
matched in speed and punching abil
ity it is hard to decide which is the
better of the two in short bouts, but
over the longer route they will take
at Alliance this question may be def
initely settled.
At the Gilbert-Schubert fight at
the C. A. C. last month, they put up
one of the greatest 8 -round battles
ever staged In Denver, and had the
fans standing on their chairs the
whole session, which ended in a
draw.
A week afterward they were mat
ched In a preliminary at the Kllbaue
Chavex bout at the stadium, and re
peated the performance of the C. A.
C. .affair by lacing each other all
around the ring much to the de
light of the fans, who voted It one
of the best scraps of the season.
Both are exceptionally clever, of
the aggressive type, and go after
each other like a house afire from
start to finish.
Going over the twelve round route will pive the pair achance to see who is wl
will precede the main event. For full information address 'Doc" Copeland, Allian
