The keen" demand for seats when the plan for the Evans-Uren tournament opened vesterday- mornins indicates that there will be few, vacant seats-when proceedincrs commence. on Monday ■ next. There will be the usual' three amateu r preliminary- contests between ■ the best and : well-matclHd local talent, starting at a quarter to eight, and the principal contest should bo staged at 8.30. Since .his arrival, here' the "Digsrer" has demonstrated his right to he termed one of the fastest featherweights at present in the earn*. While on active serl vice 'he took part in several important , contests, .inoludin* a match .against the ■ famous Jimmy Wilde, wh6, it was' 6tated. was hard crossed to get*a decision • ovei ' the Australian. Like Uren he is a riarht--1 band fighter. Uren will have' the r ad--1 vantage of height and weight, and with his greatlv improved form since last 1 seen here may. be depended upon to make every round fast' and vigorous. : Certainly the "Digger" is vigorous ail'; must make his opponent keep going? ail , the time. Intending patrons will bt< i well advised to book- their seat* at once.
