Peters admiringly. "Shes quick. She's like

the ladies, and listening to the various stories

Ellen never had much sense of humor. That

Magee promised to bear this counsel in
mind, and went forward into the smoking
car. Long rows of red plush seats, unoccu

his eye. He strolled to where they sat, about
halfway down the car, and lighted an after
breakfast cigar.
Max slouched in the unresponsive COM

across the aisle the Mayor of Reuton leaned
heavily above card table placed between
two seats. He was playing solitaire. Magee
wondered whether this was merely display
of bravado against scheming reformers, or
whether Cargan found in it real diversion.
Curious, he slid into the place across the
table from the Mayor.

COULON HELD TO DRAW

Bantam Champion Is Given Tough Battle by Speedy
Rival at Kenosha Each Man Wins Round.

cling rounds in the Kenosha arena last
night and made good his ante battle
prediction that the king pin of the
class had nothing on him.
What Is more. Burns was the fresher
and the stronger of the pair at the fin
ish. and had the twenty-round limit
prevailed that he traversed with John
at New Orleans some time ago he
would have had a grand chance to call
himself champion after the row.
Coulon is boxing master, and 50 is
the "Joisey" boxer. In all the trips
Chicago fans have made to this Badg-
fight town, they have never seen the
skillful glove play dished up by these
speedy 116-punders last night They
were busy every minute of the time
with feinting. footwork and lightning
like leads, and kept the crowd at a
high pitch of excitement throughout.
To Coulons discredit 1t may be said
that he held on pretty vigorously in
the last three rounds. Whenever he
got Frankie's left glove under his
right arm 1t took all of Frankie's pull
ing power and warnings from the ref
cree to get 1t out of there. Tr.th to
tell, John did not appear to realish the
speedy going as much he did In the
good old days.

score was AS, Sc. 1-6, Ga. Sc.
The match was f1ercely fought and
ran it's whole length before the youth
full competitor was able to overcome
his English rival and claim the victory
for America. Excitement among the
big gallery of spectators ran high
from start to finish and Mclaughlin
was given great applause when his
triumph was announced.

1t must not be gathered from this
that we think because Burns held the
Logan Square boy even that the cham
pion is fading fast. Not so. He's a
whale yet and 1t will take a wonderful
boy to snatch his title away from him.
Kid Williams. please take notice.
While Coulon was holding toward
the close and seemed content to nestle
in his taller foes embrace, he was full
of fight at. the closing bell. He start
ed the last round with a wonderful
burst of speed. He slowed up after a
minute, but he had set a pace that
would have slowed up anybody after
a half hour of honest milling. John is
still tough and strong.
The fans must remember that Burns
was good enough in Coulon's heydey
to fight him just about an even fight
for ten rounds. He did it in New York
twice and Johns decision over him in
twenty at New Orleans was a Ques-
tionable one.
But the bout serves to show that
there are three rivals in Coulon's class
at present who are mighty close to
championship stride. Kid Williams
beat Campi. Campi beat Burns. and
Burns held John even last night. That
makes 1T look little bad for the
champ, but it is not as bad as the dope
would indicate. They'll have a whale
of time bouncing the crown of
Johns bald bonnet.
