Pugliists were busy in many rings on Monday night, and some stirring en- counters resulted Nearly all the en- counters were well attended. The principal meeting was the fifteen round battle between Jimmy Briggs and Kid Thomas of Philadelphia. The scrap took place at Gloucester, Mass, before the Gloucester A. C. The mill proved to be the easiest kind of a vic tory for Briggs, who punched Thomas all over the ring, finally knocking him out in the second round. Briggs went right after Thomas from the start. In the second Thomas was foored twice with left hooks on the chin. and was eventually put out of the fight by his seconds throwing up the sponge to save him from further punishment
 At Chester, Pa, Billy Divine and Jack Mckenzie, two hard hitting Phil adelphia lightweights. made things hum for six rounds. In the first three rounds Mckenzie looked like q winner but he began to tire. Divine then rushed and foored him with a stiff

 There was plenty of action and stiff grueling in the six-round bout between Griff Jones of New York and Young Gibbs, before the Southern A. O.. Phil adelphia. They were to have had 1t out for six rounds, but the battle ter minated in the fifth. Gibbs was dis qualified in this round for striking Jones in the breakaway. The men had agreed to break clean. The boys in dulged in rough tactics in the first round, but the second they pum- meled each other for keeps The third was lively. Tn the fourth Gibbs began ms foul tactics, and the referee warned him. He did not seem to mind. and finally, in the fifth, his work became so fragrant that the referee called halt.

George AIDE on His Stage Ambitions.

George AIDE, the author of five pieces
running simultaneously, is the mar of
the hour in theatrical circles, having
eclipsed even Clyde Fitch in the
rapidity of his rise as a playwright.
Mr.. AIDE takes his success modestly
and disclaims any desire to pose as a
dramatist of serious intent.
IF / have any single ambition in
reference to the stage" said Mr.. AIDE,
lit is to depict every day American
life in such a manner as to amuse the
public and not offend good taste. If,
incidentally, / "a touch upon some
of the weaknesses and foibles of the
present moment without slandering
my own countrymen, or holding our
home people up to ridicule, the plays
will have a value which never can at
tach to an entertainment that is mere
~ farcical.
81 do not WISH" he continued, "to
be serious or didactic. 1t seems to me
that any writer who can amuse the
American public without resorting to
the use of questionable topics or ply
steal buffoonery has done something
of which he need not be ashamed, ever
if he sheds no great light on any ma.
tional problem."-Theatre Magazine.
