Taylor arrived in town last week and has been put- ting the finishing touches fon hi training. He has made a big impres- sion on those who have watched him work out in Hadley’s hall. “Young” Marino and his manager, “Chick” Kenney of New York, arrived in town last night to show the public that IMarino was not scheduled to fight last nigh at New: Bedford, “The New Britain fight fans are going to see the best bout they ever have seen when Taylor and Marino meet,” said Silvey Burns, manager of Taylor, today. “My man isg a fighter all the way through. Marino is of an opposite type. He is a ctever hoxer, cool and calculating, and never gets c¢xcited. I am confident that Taylor will be too much for him but I must admit that Marino is a clever boy.” It will be the old time rivalry of New Britain against Hartford when “Joe” Ryan of this city and “Kid” Romane of Clarkinville step Into the sauared circle, They will go ten rounds «aat 130 pounds. Followers of Tivan known that he is to pe reckoned with no matter where he appears and they expect to see him whip his Capital city opponent tonight. Ro- mane is touted as being up to snuff and, according to reports that have heen coming from Hartford for some time, he has been aching to get in the same ring with Ryan. “Kid"” Clover of this city and “Young” O'Brien of New York, will open the show with a six rounder at catchweights. ‘“Honest John'”H Willis will be on deck to see that the boys don’t do any hugging. .

Peter was born in Galway, Ireland, forty-six years ago today, March 16, 1869, and wag a sort of St. Patrick’'s day gift for his parents. He grew to a height of nearly six feet, but during his ring days he was never much' more than a middleweight, as he seldom entered the ring weighing over 166 pounds. If he had had a little more meat Peter would almost certainly have become champion, for he was one of the hard- est hitters the ring has ever known. When he fought Bob Fitzsimmons on the Mexican border in 1896 he landed a blow in the first round which Ruby Robert testified was the hardest he had ever had to assimilate. Peter began his career in a Dublin brewery, and later became a barkeep- er in a Dublin cafe. He had never had occasion to use his fists until one night when a row started in the pub- lic house, and one of the rolsterers threw a mug at Peter. That aroused his ire and he waded into the gang and cleaned them all out. His sport- ing friends then insisted that he dis- play his prowess in the ring, and at length he consented. Maher was then nineteen years old, a tall, gangling youth, and weighed less than 160 pounds. In 1888 he defeat- ed Martin O'Hara, Tim O'Doherty and other boxers, and the mnext year he made a good showing in an exhibi- tion with Peter Jackson. In 1891, when he decided to emigrate to America, he was the middleweight champion of Great Britain and Ire- land, and could not even get a match with the heavywelights, Maher’s first fight on this side was with Jack Fallon, and he knocked ; him out in the second round. He then | met three men in one night at Madi- son Square Garden, and knocked them all out in the first round. In California he met Joe McCall, a giant standing nearly six and a half feet and welghing 225 pounds, and put him away in the third round. He also knocked out Joe Godfrey and Mike Monahan, but in 1892 he lost to Joe Goddard, the Australlan, and was defeated in a twelve-round bout with Bob Fitzsimmons in, New Or- leans. Rilly Madden, who had been largely responsible for inducing Peter to try his luck in America, was Maher's second in the Crescent City battle, A big crowd of nearly 8,000 fans filled the Olympic club, which had hung up $10,000 for the bout.
