Between Ward and Sisto-Nearly Every
Section and Westminster Represented.


Reported for the Democratic Advocate.
Last Tuesday night stranger IN Westnin.
ster, Judging by the number of vehicles along
Main street and those adjacent. would have
concluded that great bargains were being Of
fered at the stores, or that circus, lecture or
concert was being held. But such remarks
as we hope SiSto will be knocked out; Ward
is too light, but he has good staying points,
&C. let one in to the fact that there was going
to be mill Where? was the question, "a
wink and tip was given and by the time an
nounced for the bout TO take place the Casino
was packed by about 900 of the sports OF the
city and county to witness the ten round setto
between Young Sisto, of New York. and Doc.
Ward, OF Carrollton. Our reporter says:
Young Sisto bested Doc Ward in the prize
fight which took place Tuesday night, July
18th. 1t was agreed that if both men were
on their feet at the end of ten rounds, that the
bout would be draw. Fight by rounds from
LIST to 9Th Sisto did very little on account of
sizing up his man; from 9th TO 10th Sisto had
his man at his mercy. In the tenth round
Sisto had his man dazed and all but out. Sisto
weighed 13l pounds and Ward l25 pounds.
Sisto's next match will be with Harry Scroggs,
of Baltimore. Sisto's seconds were Tommie
Daley and Pete Hunter, of Baltimore, and
Geo. Zentgrah. of Westminster. Wards
seconds were Mummie, VIM. and Doc Gent
graft.
Immediately after the fight there was a
challenge issued TO match Sisto with Ward for
a purse 500 to $500 and gate receipts for
finish fight, to take place at some point TO be
agreed upon.
CHALLENGE.

 We feel and declare anew our allegiance to Judaism. which Is not a system of law bound up in the Pen tateuch and the Rabbinic code. but a living and ever expanding, ever deep ening and ever progressing truth. com mitted into the care of Israel from the very beginning to the end of history.
 While recognizing wide difference of opinion, of belief and of practice in Judaism throughout all lands and the ages. we know of but one Torah, one Israel and one God" =.

 We heartily congratulate all thoso who have been instrumental In form ing Congregational Israel of Philadel- phia on their success and heartily recommend all such work to the syna- gogue extension committee of the Union of American congregations, and to our philanthropic co-religionists."

 Another reason and an important one for a decidedly short crop Is that there Is not in the Southern cotton belt a supply of labor adequate for workin g big yield. Everybody knows that the blacks have been going from the farms to the towns in droves and that they cannot longer be relied on for ag- ricultural services.
