modern ring fifteen feet square has
been purchased and a first-ciass light
ing equipment installed.
As has been told, the star bout for
next Wednesday night will have Young
Kurtz, of this city, and Harry Scroggs.
of Baltimore. Since his excellent show
ing against Danny Savage a few weeks
ago Kurtz has been gaining a reputa-
ton and making rapid strides. Scroggs
has a reputation and has met many
good men in his day. The bout should
be q frst-class attraction.
The semi-final. which will bring forth
Willie Perna and Carl Healy. will be
of the TN duration as the tar bout,
six rounds. Perna and Healy are
local boys who are well known to the
boxing-lovers and their bout viii be a
welcome feature of the initial show.
There will be three other four-round
bouts between fast boys. Much local
interest is centred in the opening show,
as the boxing game is being doomed
here and the location OF the new club
is convenient to trolleys from all sec
lions of the city.

OLYMPIC CLUB TO
HOLD THREE STAR
lO-ROUND BOUTS


A LARGE crowd will no doubt take
~ in the show of the Olympic A. C.
Monday afternoon, when three
ten-round bouts will be staged. On the
face of it the program OF the Olympic
seems to be the best holiday attraction
offexed In the sporting line In Newark.
Given n route Of ten rounds some of
the boxers carded ought to make good
on their boasts of a sleeper"
That Newark sports are taking kind
ly to the new club was apparent at
the stag on Monday last. when nearly
1000 attended. Every one was highly
pleased with the place and the caro-
presented. One thing especially that
commends the club is the smoothness
with which the program is run off.
Starting almost on the dot of 8
o'clock. the time advertised, the box-
ers were kept on the move. Just as
soon as n pair left the ring another
pair entered and was mixing it before
the preceding pair got to their dress
ing-rooms.
Then, again, instead of the usual
lingering and drawn-out pickering of
the fellows in the big bout, they were
In the ring, had received their instruc-
ions and were on their way five min
-utes after the semi-final ended. This
is really a delightful feature of the
show that gained much favorable com
ment, because it enabled all to get
home on time.
Mondays program. while not pos
sessing men of the class Of Burke and
Savage, shows every promise of thirty
rounds of milling pure and simple.
Because OF Ted Nelson's managers
eleventh-hour demands the manage
ment Of the club found it necessary to
substitute Charley Lawrence, who has
been beating some of the best welter-
weights in the land.
Jumbo Mills and Kid Ellie, light
heavyweights, who are TO mingle in the
semi-f1nal of ten rounds, will no doubt
give an Interesting exhibition. Trouble
starting over their failure to get to-
gether, as advertised, for the first
show Of the club, has made them bit
ter enemies, and both will try hard for
a knockout. Ellie Will be accompanied
by about 300 Paterson sports.
When Tommy Andreach and Battling
Kitty, the paperweights, get together
for ten rounds in the first bout, the
spectators will get-a run for their
money. Both are rushing scrappers
who fight for dear life from bell TO bell.
Andreach Is built like a small Langford
and can stand a world of punishment.

Railroads Close Case and Asreo to. Lo.

Willard and erown-sssk TO Justi-
fy Freight Increase Because Of
Greater Demands on Roads.

Washington, Oct. 14.-The railroads
of the eastern trunk line territory have
presented to the interstate commerce
comm ission their reasons for the pro-
posed advance in freight rates, and
counsel for the roads have expressed
the staten ents made by President
McCrea, Of the Pennsylvania, President
Willard, Of the Baltimore & Ohio, and
President Brown. Of the New York
Central lines, the latter being cross
examined today.
Such heavy mental and executive
artillery as was unlimbered in this
legal proceeding seldom has been en-
ployed in Investigations by the inter-
state commerce commission
Men, admittedly great financiers and
railroad executives, who ordinarily, for
reasons obvious to themselves. at least
do not take the public into their con-
fidence, have stated with apparent
frankness their opinions and views re-
garding not merely the business of their
respective lines, but regarding econom-
ic problems with which American
transportation companies find them
selves confronted. They indicated wha t
they regard as embarrasSmentS under
which they are laboring in their efforts
to make American railway systems not
merely the best in the world, but OF
such adequacy and efficiency as will
enable the railroads to keep pace with
the tremendous development and pro-
lgress OF the United States. They
sought to justify the increases made
in freight rates. 1t is expected the
railroads will conclude their case to-
