From the time the spceder left

SPORT BET
THOUSANDS
ON A FIGHT

milwaukee,. Wis. June At is
estimated that at least $50, COO will
change hands on the result OF to.
nights ten round battle bet~een
Billy Pspke and Stanley Ketchell for
the middleweight championship of
America. Both men have largo fol.
lowings and many big wagers have
already been made There Ia every
prospect that the big Hippodrome
will be filled with such crowd
AS has never before consregated at
a prize fight in Milwaukee when
the doors open this evening. Dope
sters who have watched the two
men in training declare that there
is little to choose between tho men
and predict that a decisive victory
will be impossible in the short dis.
lance of ton rounds.
1t will be a contest That will set.
tie the middle weight title, as
there are no others to dispute it
with them. Hugo Kelly was claim
ant of the title, but Pspke won over
Hugo the last time they met anG now
Billy shares the honor with Ketchell.
While Papke was winning his way
toward the goal in the middle west
Ketchell was doing the same stunt on
the Pacific coast, and they are the
two legitimate claimants of the
title at present. The winner of
this bout can we'll claim the title
and the boxing followers Of the
country will be quick to recognize
him as such. They will weigh
in at l54 pounds at O'Clock. which
is the same as weighing in at l5S
recognized weight for the middle
weight class, but nowadays people
prefer to have the men weigh in hours
before the battle so that they will
know everything is alright, and l54
pounds at O'Clock practically means
1853 at ringside. Both men have a
brilliant record for the short time
they have been before the public as
stars. most Of their battles having re.
suited in knockou's. Ketchell il
credited with being the cleverer of
the two, but Papke is tough propo.
sitiion for anyone and will be able
to give good account of himself.
Both have the punch and it will
be u case Of who will land first.

THE $4,000 VANITY BOX

A social queen in New York lost a s1s.o0,
vanity box" the other day in Sherry's ane
when she advertised for it. it drove Job,
Kendrick Bangs into the following rhym,
in the Broadway Magazine:
o would I owned that vanity boxl
'Twere richer by far than watered stocks
I'd powder my nose with diamond dust
And rouge my lips with ruby rust.
I'd tint my cheeks with little crumb
OF aInalgamated radium.
My alabaster brow would shine
With gold-leaf eighteen carats fine.
I'd have an ivory powder-puff
With emerald ends to every duff:
And each small hair In my brush of pride
Would mean one camel complete had died
To furnish the hair SO soft and fine
In that dear vanity brush OF mine.
And then at the end of my earthly days
What joy to go TO my heavenly ways
And leave behind that vanity box
To purchase nice warm clothes and socks
For those that suffer. and those that toll,
In murk and mire, in sweat and moil:
To ease the worried, and cure the sick;
To give new oil TO some human wick;
To place the fallen upon their feet:
To lift the PROSTATE from the street;
To purchase -four, and milk, and bread
BY which the hungry might be fed.
Had indeed that vanity box
I'd turn it quickly to current rocks
I'd send them forth in this world OF care
To suffering humans everywhere,
And while 1 know IL wouldn't go FAR
To help tho dereliot over the bar,
haven't the slightest BIT OF doubt
That it were worth being vain about
Los Angeles herald., 1908-06-07

No time should be lost as all have an
equal opportunity.
There will be fifty-one premiums for
young women besides the two double

men and boys besides the phonograph,
and two premiums for fraternal lodges,
also an extra premium 'regalia."
The pictures which appear today rep
resent leaders in their respective con-
tests and districts.
The honor roll which has been pre-
dicted for the past week makes its
initial appearance today. Those who
have been watching the contest closely
have surprise In store for them. Miss
Lucy Levering of Redlands has had
only a little over $4,000 votes to her
credit, which were sufficient. however,
to keep her at the head of her district
BY dint of extra effort she was able to
poll 40, 1000 votes yesterday, which gives
her more than double the amount of
any other young lady in the entire CON-
test.
Miss Grace Pam. assistant cashier
Cafe Kerkow. who has headed her dis
trict for some time past, comes on the
honor roll today for her section.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-06-07

the roll of honorable mention and has
14,12S votes.
Mrs. II. l.. Williams, representing
sAzusa, is eighth on the list, 1883 bal
lots appearing opposite her name today.
Miss Maud Cline, whose name has no
doubt been read more than any other
persons during the entire contest, she
having been first in district 1 almost
since the time of her entering, is ninth
today, with 1865 votes.
And last, but by no means least,
comes Miss Leah Murphy 'of Perris.
While Perrls is town of only 1000 in
