feated Al Fellows before a Liverpool

Chief Collins of the Chicago police. is
determined to stop boxing of all kinds
i'm the Windy city. When he began his
crusade against the sport he was will
ing to allow amateur boxing for diplo-
| mas in the swell clubs. Now he will not

1T believe said Mr.. Nye, "that the
government will erect a new federal
building here soon. In such case, the
site just across Washington avenue
from the .Nicollet hotel would be an
ideal site for a postoffice building. In
that case I think the old city hall should
be torn down and the site used either
for a soldiers or a pioneers monu-
ment.'
