MILLER SHOWS EAST FORM ON EYE OE BIG BOUTAlvie Miller, tickled traiuer Art Simms and Manager Charles James beffeath the skin with his lightning tactics In the final rounds of boxing -with Toughey Rarnser and Ren Schaffer yesterday afternoon at his headquarters in the Majestic Baths. Atter the work Miller announced himself repdy for his 10-round main go at Toledo this evening with Gilbert Yankee, of Cleveland. Alvie so pleased James that the state bantam champ’s manager failed to find words this morning to express the difference in Miller’s condition for his bou£ over the condition or Miller for his first meeting with Yankee.It is conceded in Miller’s camp that both Alvie and Yankee have improved wonderfully since their last reckoning;- Miller under the tutelage of Art Simms and Yankee under the care of feather champ Johnny Kilbane and Manager Jimmy Dunn since the return of that pair from the coast. Manager James predicts that the decision will be won cn Miller’s improved condition. Alvie tackledYankee the first time within four days of the most gruelling match ot his career, that with Harry Palmer at Youngstown. Miller went, into t'he ring against the wishes of James, sporting a pair of badly bunged hands. On the eve of his unsatisfactory reckoning with Yankee, Miller could easily have secured a doctor’s certificate showing that he was in no condition to do battle. No such claims this time, for Alvie was never better prepared for a battle.Miller, .fames and Simms left for Toledo at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon instead of noon, as originally planned. The party will put up at the Oriental Hotel, where Miller generally rests for his Toledo bouts. Yankee anil his party also tripped into Toledo, yesterday, slightly in advene* of (Miner. Toledb ' fans who had hoped tnat the maiu go principals would arrive several days in advance in order to work out in the Toledo gymnasium, ware disappointed. Miller is the favorite among the Toledo sporting public.
