vantages enumerated it must be said
that Richie has shown shrewdness IN
naming the terms of the bout
He has set aside the old lS3 POUNDS
ringside limit action and has uXeo
the weight at 135 pounds one hour be-
fore ring time. The common sense
opinion is, of course, that Richie
cannot conform with the old standard
and that every ounce he takes into
the ring will be fighting weight.
He will scale all of 137 pounds, II
not more. whereas Murphy, who, to
quote manager Buckley, is only
little fellow" and can show 13S at any
time after a few days training, Will
be battling with a man a size bigger
than himself
In a way it's a bit hard for Harlem
Tommy Murphy. He has been knock
ing at the door Of the championship
quite a while, and now, when his
chance comes he is placed under 2
weight handicap.
There is one point on which the
friends Of the little Harlem Turk place

ing this in mind, TOmmy's supporters

transpires that she has hatched half the
cleverest of the militant suffragists' plots
and that she is always ready to do that
which she devises
But the poor old Earl of Antrim one of
the old school, with the Irishman's horror
or seeing any of his womenkind in the
pubic eye, has been frantic and declares
that there ought to be law by which
a man can divorce wife who is a suf
fragist. When Lady SybiI was recently
arrested in the House of Commons with
Mrs. Pethick Lawrence, she was more
active in her resistance than any other
prisoner and with her jeweled rings gave
the policeman a mark that will be there
Tor some time. She says that she is pre-.
pared TO die for "the causen and would
rather give up her family than it.
