FRANKIE NEIL, BANTAM ‘CHAMPION, HERE TO-DAY Westerner Comes to Make Arrangements for His Meeting with Hughie McGovern, Sched. uled to Take Place in the Quaker City Within Three Weeks, BY ROBERT EDGREN, Bantam-welght Champion Frankie Neil, of San Francisco, arrives in New York to-day, All arrangements have been made by wire, and his firet act will be to sign for a six-round bout with Hughie McGovern. The fight will be held in Philadelphia within three weeks, and the articles, which Sam Harris has already signed on McGovern's behalf, call for 120 pounds, ring elde; sixty-five per cent. of the purse to go to the winner, ehirty-five per cent. to the loser, Frankie Nell is the legitimate bantam-weight champion. Fighting at weight last year, he cleanly knocked out Harry Forbes, holder of the title, In the second round. Forbes declared that the Californian’s vic- tory was a “fluke,” but a few weeks ago Nell clinced his claim to super. lority by knocking Forbes out again, tn his home town, {n the fourth round. Neil has gone through the Forbes family. First, Champion Harry Forbes beat the little ‘Frisco fighter in Oak- land, Cal. Neil went down, claiming a foul, but the claim was not allowed. Harry Forbes gave him a return match. On the night set for the battle the champion announced that he could not make the weight, and sent in his brother Clarence as a substitute, Nell wiped up he ring with Clarence, Later came the fight with Harry, in the Mechantes’ Pavilion, where two days later, Jim Jeffries was to knock out Jim Corbett. FIGHT A FURIOUS ONE. It was a furious battle. Forbes, lithe as a panther, quick, cunning, carrying himself with the erect confidence of an undefeated champion, went at Neil with a smile of contempt. The youngster, to Forbes’a surprise, immediately took the aggres- Hive. The champion’s smashes were shaken off with @ toss of the head. Neil carried his left hand—the left that was to tecome more famous even than Dal Fawkins'’s down close to his thigh. Now and then he whipped it over toward Forbes's stomach, but the Chicagoan blocked cleverly, Then came the second round; a furious rally, a whirl of flying fists, and suddenly Neil's left hand jerked forward at close range, to sink into Forbes's stomach, ‘The champion reeled lack, with distended eyes, fell, stru 4 for nine seconds, and got up. fel! closed tn, Again the left hand pluuged {nto the sume target.

Frankie Neil started his career with a string of knockouts. He was preas boy on a San }ranciseo paper. He worked all day and foughd about two nights a week. [t wae a rough school, but it gave him the fighting ski!) and stamina that made bim an opuient title holder. One of the youngeter's first professional engagements was a four- round bout with Eddie Hanlon, then aleo at the teginning of his career. Neil lost the decision by so small a point margin that the spectators dissatisfied with the referce's judgment. It should have been @ Shortly afterward he fought Hanlon again—a twenty-round draw, Since that time Nell never has tasted defeat. The champion {s a stocky youngster, musculer and evenly built. He has broad shoulders, chunky arma, and legs like those of a bicycle rider. In his earlier fights he showed a marvellous capacity for punish- ment; but since then he has become clever enough to make chopping Dlock tactics unnecessary. FIGHTS IN THE PHILIPPINES During the Spanish-American war Frankie Neil left the ring for a time and went to the Philippines on a transport. He was in Manila harbor for several months, during which time he whipped more Fili- jinos, barehanded, than a company of volunteers.
