After the Big Eveat.

While the books have been prac~
tically accepted as closed on the big
Ieffries- johnson fight, it is rumored
in Virginia this week that the Hib-
bing Athletic Ciub-which faile d to
pull off one event or refund the
coin-has awakened to the possibil-
tiles of the occasion and will put in
bid for the big event that will lay
all others in the shade.
Tell you, that little village of Hib
bling which honestly boasts OF a
greater assessed valuation than
does the great city Of Duluth at the
head of the lakes and at the head of
everything in St. Louis county with
the exception of the Procliyity to
pay taxes, has the right idea of get
ting the coin and the "big one" will
draw a crowd to the burg from as
far as Nashwaulk and Ruhl if the
promoters of the Athletic Club can
only lapd the prize.
