ON his merits. l will not try to get an
other match with him, as he is too |
heavy for me. consider him one of |
the very best men in the country at
1870 pounds. He is sure to be heard |
from in his class. There are none |
of them that have any the best of it
with him.
The reports that were circulated
Tuesday to the effect that Whitaker
was unable TO leave his bed were not

Democrat Tuesday afternoon looking

GREAT INTEREST AT SHELBY.
Interest in the Shelby-Akron foot
ball game, to be played in this place
Thursday, is reaching n top notch, says
Shelby special. Heavy practice by
the local team under the careful train

probably result in closing several large
factories and drawing more people to
athletic field than have ever been there
before. The fact that the Shelby team
has lost but one game this season, and
has won from some of the best elevens
in the State marks her for recognition
among the States champions If sue
cessful Thursday.
