Will Be Preceded by Good Pre-
liminaries - Gossip About tho

The much talked of argument be-
tween Buck" Stolzer, of Columbus,
and Charlie Burns, the Cincinnati

night in the Bridgeport Opera House
under the auspices of the Bridgeport
Athletic Club. The question in dis
pute will be: Resolved, That can
lick you in twenty rounds" Burns
has been selected for the affirmative
side. because he is expected TO be the
aggressor. Stolzer will look after the
negative end of the proposition with all
his skill and endurance. In anticlpa-
ton of rare sport, a large crowd will
be present. The judge will be a man
to be mutually agreed upon, and the
decision which he renders will deter
mine the ownership of a certain pro-
portion of the contributions eXacted Of
all who pass through the doors of the
theatre.
The contestants have worked hard to
get in shape for to-night's contest,

antly surprised at the residence Of
Rev. r. r. Bigger, by the members Of

minutes of rough house" If StolZer
passes through the ordeal unscathed
his chances for securing the decision
will be excellent. Burns will hardly
go after his man in the same style as
in his recent bout with Hermann Beck
as he would be very foolish to give
Stolzer an opening for that left swing
However, it is more than likely that
Stolzer will be On the defensive in
the early rounds, at least.

the preliminaries will begin about $50

mission making the 1000 mile 21a cents
tickets and 1000 2 cent tickets good IN
the hands of any one presenting them,
on the ground that lit will reduce their
revenues $4,000" As the Southern
reports an increase of S622,0O0 net earn
ngs last year of which it admits $780,
600 was the increase in net earnings in
North Carolina, it is plain that in OBJ
jecting TO an abatement of $4,000 to
the public the real point is determina-
ton not to be subject to public control
at ALL No reduction can possibly be
small enough for the Southern to accept
if made by public authority. The late
cut Of local passenger rates was only
about equal to their increased net earn

cut is only S12,O00-about as much rs
