 Frank Erne has promising pupil in Louis de Ponthieu. France has sent us several boxers in the last year or two, but this one is the first to show the trademark of regular fighter. He is fast and clever and the benefit of Erne's coaching is ap- parent in his work. By the way there were very few greater students and opponents of the art of fisticuffs than the former lightweight cham pion.
 De Ponthieu did not come here with a blare of trumpets. Frank brought the boy over last Fall, and has spro-j ceeded in his usual quiet and cap-' able way, giving his protege an oc-i casional stiff try-out. One of the most important was a ten round go. with Battling Nelson two months ago in which de Ponthieu acquitted him. self splendidly against the tough old Battler. For Ernes sake I hope the, youngster continues to make good, although I hardly think him sturdy enough to mix with top notchers Of, his division at the present time.

 sincerely hope the bear-cat or the lightweight division has fully recuperated before the time arrives to jump into the ring to do battle in defense of the title. Such magni-j ficient little specimen of manhood, II would hate to see him beaten by ani inferior boy.

the case yesterday and on Monday and

Whether the decline of 80 points from
the high level of 13c for May and
March on Monday to the low today
terests as enough of a setback for the
present and that the campaign is to be
continued in an aggressive manner
from this point or whether today's rail-

bolster up southern spot markets so
as TO keep off actual holders from Of

time encourage the other bull cliques
here to hold on to their cotton re-

to be announced tomorrow before the

factor of outside news which is being
discussed at present. The bulls are pre-

experiences in prison that these women
have undergone the article goes on to

the side of the government, since, tech

thorough search, wearing only prison

of criminals before her have balhed.
She inherits their prison shoes. their
torn, patched garments, and their cor
