MANY LTGHTWEIGHTS
 CANNOT GET MATCHES
Rv T. s. Andrews.)

Ry T. s. Andrews.)
 There are many light weights about the country who are not quite up to the standard as far as champions are concerned, but they are not far shy of the select class when it comes to real fighting ability. The stars, what few there are, seem to have things pretty much their own way. They make matches with various clubs, but they are also careful not to get the worst of the matchmaking. Jimmy Duffy has been a star for some tmes but he has found it hard travelling to get into the select circle. Young Shu- grue is another tough. light weight, who has met all Of the so-ca1led stars outside of the champion. but he is not yet considered a classy enough boy to get the big things. It is the same with Johnny Lore, another good east ern boy, also Gilbert Gallant of Bos- ton, a crackerjack of a light weight, and Johnny Gallant, another good boy of the same name. Sam Eob1deau, the Minneapolis boy who makes his home in Philadelphia, is another who classes with most any lightweight, but his manager, Jack Michigan, finds tr Leo Kelly of St. Louis is another one of the same kind. He has shown great form out west against good 133- pounders, but they are shy of him when 1t comes to some of the stars. Kid Kansas is in the same boat, also Steve KetcheI and Frankie Russell. Charlie White, like Tommy Murphy Leach Cross, Bud Anderson and Joe Rivers, have all gotten near the top because they happened in at the right time. It is the boxer who gets the chance at the right time who usually gets to the top in 8 hurry, which goes to show that there is luck in fighting the same as in baseball.
 You've got to hand it to Daniel Morgan of the firm of Morgan & Me- to push his fighters to the front. A path. Dan loves an argument and can hand out language that Daniel Webster never heard of, but at the same time he never loses a chance to push his fighters t othe front. A year ago Battling Lavinsky, known then as Barney Williams, was consid- cred a very ordinary second rate fight CT. Dan made the fellow believe he was a champion and he began to inn prove rapidly. He has stacked up against heavy weights and middle weights, although he is only a light heavy weight himself, scaling about 165 pounds. Within the past six months he has scored IA knockouts against men much bigger than him self. Now he wants to meet Carl Morris and, also George Rode1, the Boer champion. He is sure enough another Joe Choynskf. Dan also made a star out of Jack Britton when Jack was drifting about the country as a fairly good light weight, and he did the same with Knockout Brown, who was never better than good sec ond rater.

the poison and was discharged from st.

1t is to be hoped that an effort will be
made to help the unfortunate girl in
her dire circumstances. 1t might be
well at this lime to call attention to the
free ward which is maintained at the
hospital for emergencies such as the
above and no doubt the young girl owes
her life to the care and treatment which
she was enabled to have at this hospital.
All should be ready to donate to the
institution when the opportunity affords
as it does great deal of good during

NATURALIZATION PAPERS
First Papers Under Old Law Void
After Sept. 9th.

In following the decisions of the
Federal courts in Naturalization mat
ters, find that Judge Trieber of the
United States District Court of Ar
kansas, has rendered the opinion that
all old first papers taken out before
September 9th, 1906, (under the old
law will be void after September
9th, 1913. Therefore all persons
holding such papers and desiring final
citizenship certificates should act be-
fore the time expires.
The decision also affects children
born aliens, who are entitled to use
the Declaration of their fathers, who
died during the minority of said chill
dren. All such should avail them
selves before the period ends.
Aliens who have made declarations
under the new law (Which went into
effect September 9th, l9O6) are re-
minded that their papers are invalid
for all purposes seven years after the
date thereof, and that they should not
let them run out without applying for
final papers.
l will be very glad to furnish full
information on all phases of the ma
turalization laws and will cheerfully
give all possible assistance to worthy
persons applying for citizenship.
