vERoNEE TOO MUCH FOR RAPPORT
The Albanian No Match for the
Savannah Boy.


Billy Veronee didn't do a thing to Paul
Rapport at the Pastime Athletic Club last
night. He just punched the little fellow
up so that he was given the decision in
the second round. The bout, while it last
ed was warm and spirited, but decidedly
one-sided
The minute the men stepped into the
ring Veronee jabbed Rapport one on the
jaw that almost stunned him. 1t was
plainly evident then that the local man
had the better of the argument Rapport
was game, but he was no match for We
ronee, who hit him whenever he pleased.
There was a preliminary bout of three
rounds between "Scotty'' and Larry Nc
Donald. ''Scotty' is the man who spared
Counihan recently and Mcdonald has APP
peared several times before the club. The
bout was three rounds of hard sparring,
much.
Quite an interest ting event was a
wrestling match between Prof. jenkins,
the lightweight champion wrestler Of
America, and Kid Norton. The match
was for the best two out of three throws,
and Jenkins won, getting the hrst and
third throws, Norton winning the second.
Prof Jenkins announced that he would
meet the winner of the Neronee-Rapport
match in a ten round contest next Thurs
day night, for a decision. VerOnee ac-
cepted and this will be the next meeting
of the club. There was quite a crowd
present and everybody seemed to enjoy
the sports.

Thalman & Co. cancelled their order and
Won Hoffman returned to the sub-treas-

1t is understood that the coin furnished
consisted entirely of half eagles and of a

Gus to ship bars, even though premium
of S-l6 per cent. must be paid. 1t is GER

are out of the question: and thin-soled ones
do not seem to afford sufficient protection
to the inflamed feet. Nothing but con-

should be batiied at night in water as
hot as can be borne. This will reduce

into cold water to harden the skin. If
they are still sore they should be rubbed
