FEW FIREWORKS DISPLAYS
Topeka People Did Not Burn Up As
Much Money AS Usual

The fashion of blowing up money by
means of Roman candles and skyrockets
seems to have become unpopular and
last night in the residence portion the
fireworks shot off would not have filled
a clothes basket.
1t used to be that on Fourth Of July
night Topeka avenue and Harrison
street would be ablaze with fireworks.
Last night a few lonesome skyrockets
wandered upward and the balls from
the Roman candles played ante over
the barns. The weather was not good
for fireworks The air was damp
throughout the evening and the colored
lights which burst from the skyrockets
were able only to flicker moment and
die out On Kansas avenue few mer-
chants burned what red lights they had
left over and fired few rockets but
that was all Most of the celebrating
was done with firecrackers and re-
volvers.

Fighting Terry Out.

New York, July Crank Erne and
Terry McGovern. the little Brooklyn
wonder have started training for their
ten-round bout scheduled to take place
at Madison Square garden on July 16-
Erne, the lightweight champion, has
opened up operations down at Red
Bank, N. J., while McGovern has re-
turned to Johnson's road house In Je-
rome avenue. where he has prepared
for all his championship battles This
will be the opening bout of the Twen-
tieth Century Athletic association, and
according to the hstic experts it should
result in one of the greatest glove con-
tests ever witnessed in the roped arena
In his battle with Lavigne Erne wore
his opponent down for number of
rounds and had him in such a condi-
ton before the limit was reached that
the battle was stopped to save the
Saginaw Kid" from a knockout La
vigne was. in the yernacular of the
prize ring, a glutton for punishment,
and it is on this contest that many
have the belief that the champion will
defeat his young Brooklyn rival.
In comparing Lavigne and McGovern,
there is much difference, especially In
weight I-avigne was a lightweight,
and McGovern is only a featherweight.
STILL the latter possesses many qualifi-
cations that Lavigne did not have when
he fought his championship battle at
Buffalo
Although Erne has announced that he
is confident of success, McGovern has
been silent. He has gone into training
with the same air of confidence he man
ifested before his former matches. Nc
Govern knows he will have to be in good
physical shape to offset his opponents

pared. AS yet there has been little
