II is announced that the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway Company will soon
begin u build extensive shops either in
Richmond. Huntington, WA, or Clif-
ton forge. Mr.. James +. Walsh, super
intcndcnt of motive power says that the
plans for the shops include the employ
men, OF from 1900 to 1900 men, and
taot the earnings OF each man will be
about SIS a month. With the minimum
number Of 700 they would have a spend
ing capacity In Richmond amounting TO
sll2,r11 a month. Mr.. Walsh also esti-
mates that the building OF the shops
viii cost not less than 10000, and
that they would add population OF OF
least 1900 10 the city.
IT appears from the interview with Mr.,
Walsh that Richmond Is the fayoritc, but
he says that our tax rate Is Il great OBJ
stacle In tho way. The Times Dispatch Is

HYIAND TRAINS
FOR HARD BOUT
Is Taking No Chances in
His Condition for the
Fight With frankie Neil
OUTWEIGHS OPPONENT
For the First Time in His
Extended Ring Career
He Has This Advantage
OUTWEIGHS OPPONENT

Dick Hyland, the boxer, who will face
Frankie Neil when he makes his debut
as professional ON the last day of this
month, is working in an earnest man
ner at the Ocean Beach under the dl-
rection of Jack Mccormick. Like all
amateurs there is a possibility of his
OVERRIDING his work in his anxiety to
Be thoroughly trained.
He is boxing with Spider Welch and
number OF other boys OF various
weights and is able to tire them out
one after another He resembles Tom
Sharkey both in his build and in his
features and is as great glutton Tor
work. Like Sharkey, he takes dip
in the ocean daily.
He will have IL slight pull In the
weights VIXEN he meets Neil, as his best
fighting weight is 122 pounds, while the
last time Neil fought here he scaled
only 115 pounds. Neil has never
thought anything of giving away
weight in many of his fights Hyland
has had the same experience, this
being the first time he has fought a
man lighter than himself.
Neil is expected to prove the faster
boxer of the pair, but Hyland's friends
