WILLIAMJ. SLATTERYLew Powell, the speedy local lightweight; will endeavor to climb up
another ring on fame's ladder this evening when he goes against the toughand rugged Chick Hudson of Seattle in a 15 round bout at Dreamland pavilion.This mill is billed as the main event of Promoter Charley, Lercarrs monthly
card. Inaddition to the headliner there willbe two other bouts, a 15'roundsetto between Jack Clifford and Kid Harrison, lightweights; and RoscoeTaylor and Tony Silva, who also weigh in at the lightweight limit. SolLevinson willreferee all'the fights, which are to start promptly at 8:30 p. m.
Powell has worked up to that point where his ambition is beginning toassert itself, and he declares that in the event he trims Hudson handily hewill challenge the best of them, including Bat Nelson. Though this maynot be taken seriously by the fans, it^* -t
goes to show that Powell wants to bea star of the roped arena, and that hewill give them the best he has.
Xobody is looking: for a knockout inthe main- event. In fact, nobody canremember when Powell knocked out aman. Certainly he never has done soin any fight of importance in which hehas engaged since he forsook the ama-teur ranks. He was unable to put thecrusher on the helpless Young Ernelast month, though Erne 'was prac-tically in after the first few rounds.
On general dope. Powell does notfigure to knock out Hudson in one hun-dred rounds. The man from Seattleis a fighter very much' on the order ofCyclone Thompson. He wades in slow-ly and deliberately, with his headdown. He can take a lot of. punish-ment, but Is far from being a spry,aggressive puncher. The only time heever appeared here was last April,against Johnny Murphy, over whom hereceived the decision at the end of15 rounds. He. too, has been hurl-ing challenges at Nelson, but he willsurely have to beat Powell before hecan expect to gain furtrer recognition.
In the event that Powell can show aknockout punch, he will loom as agood card on the pugilistic horizon.He is a clever, finished boxer, a cleanhitter and a wonderful blocker, and allthat he has lacked in the past is theability to hit his man hard. The opin-ion of the fans is that Powell is notthere with the punishing wallop. Nowif he can demonstrate that he is. hisfortune is made. But he must deliverfirst.
Jack Clifford has managed to gain alittle fame for himself and considera-ble notoriety- through the fact that helost to Nelson in Oklahoma City lastmonth In five rounds. Clifford claimsthat he was robbed and that he hadNelson going at the time. He hasnever appeared in this city, so he willhave every opportunity to • show thefans in his engagement with KidHar-rison, who is a very much improvedfighter since he last showed here.
Although Tony Sllva was knockedstiff by Dick Wheeler in an amateurbcut in the Mission "Wednesday even-ing. Promoter Lercari considers him
good enough' to send in against Tay-lor tonight. Taylor beat Silva whenhe was an amateur and he looks tohave an edge this time. These boyswill go 10 rounds or less, and theyshould furnish action for the crowd, asboth have a good punch in either handand both are game fighters.
The last two mills hold promise ofbringing about a knockout or a fewknockdowns, at least. Clifford andTaylor are both favorites, though thereis practically no wagering on the out-come of these battles. -Powell is a'10 to 8 choice over Hudson and mayclose 10 to 7.• • . •
As a side runner to the Hyland-Frayne fight next month. Match MakerSidney Hester has .secured Monte At-tell. the recognized bantam weight•champion, to fight 20 rounds withPercy Cove of Seattle, the freak ofthe modern ring. The- men willweighin at 115 pounds at 6 o'clock on theevening of the battle, and Eddie Smithof Oakland will be the referee.
Cove is more than 5 feet 10 inchesin height, yet he can do 115 poundshandily. Ifhe ever tires of the ring,he can get a livinghandily by takingthe job as the living skeleton in acircus. The ring has never knownsuch a man. His legs and arms arelike pipe stems, yet he is possessed ofa wonderful punch and has a' greatknockout record. \u25a0
•
Cove is fighting Attell for tilstraining^ expenses. Allhe wants is achance "to break Into the game andshow the fans of San ,'Francisco whathe has. For the last five years ,hemade many
'futile attempts to secure
a match here. He believes that.heisthe champion bantam weight of all theworld and he says that -all he desiresis'an opportunity to convince.
Attell has been cleaning them allup of late. ,His latefit victory wasover Frankie Neil, whom he disposedof in 18 rounds last month. Attell isone of those boys who was forced tofight his way to the top, and he is nowlooked upon as one of the greatestlittle fighters in the .business. If.Covebeats him he will be regarded as thechampion bantam of the world.

In' the openingmile the big gelding was taken awayin the rear of. the others, and after.getting around the first turn he madea clumsy break, and before he couldbe straightened out the others were adistance ahead, of. him.
