war-about 1176. If read rs written
they are Il tribute to the king and his

unmistakable spirit of re- oellion to both
king and parliament. The author is
unknown.

WHY FIGHT LID
BANGED TIGHT

The s. A. A. C. is directly respon-
sible for clapping the lid on the
fighting game in Spokane and is
was through the club that the mat
ter was brought up before Mayor
Moore. The trail from the mayor
to the club is clearly defined and
runs in this fashion.
A. w. Witherspoon, son of the
street commissioner, brought the
matter to the attention of the
mayor and advocated the clamping
on of the lid and after short talk
induced the mayor to issue the Or
der. Mr. WitherspOon is an attor-
ney and is in the Office with w. J..
C. Wakefield, one Of the directors
of the S. A. A. c., and man who
has in the past jealousy guarded
the interests of the institution. TO
open the fight game even for four
rounds would cut into the receipts
at the S. A. A. c., which claims the
sole right to pull off boxing events
and for this reason any other bouts
were looked upon with disfavor.
All this was not explained to the
mayor. 1t was merely pointed out
to him that Spokane might again
become the mecca for meal ticket
pugs and on this showing the lid
went down with bang. shutting
out a chance of seeing Boomer
Weeks and DR.. Roller in action.
