Rapid-Fne Brand Of Scrapping on Card Tonight
Whitney VIII Find Clever Abel Hard to Hit

rounds of his game and the French
Market marvel got away with only
a shade
Abel has never failed in Atlanta
nor has he been stopped anywhere
that we know of since he really
began to use his hands right and
tpmbled to the idea that he had
real ring brain.
He fought tough little Terry Mel
son in Atlanta twice, once at Stat
ems old club, and Fuzzy Woodruff
gave Nelson the decision. saving
that Terry hit the hardest. Later
the boys fought a draw in Chatta-
nooga and to have it out came to
Atlanta one night At q private
club they fought Al rounds. Mel
sons seconds threw up the sponge.
ABEL was going as well in the thir-
ty-flfth round Of this scrap as he
was in the fifteenth. but, then. no
body ever accused the Chattanooga
scrapper Of having a kick.
Abel fought Joe Sherman here
when the latter was running under
the name Of Young Joe Grim and
Sherman is far from dub, as his
bouts with Mandot and frankie
Russell have proved. Sherman and
Abel went ten rounds to draw.
Whitney Beat Terry Nelson.
1t is true that Whitney beat
Terry Nelson at the old James
street club, but Terry was swap
ping punches with him all the way.
and was hardly an object of pity nj
At the end of the bout.
As matter of fact neither Abel
nor Whitney have ever been found
guilty of packing a terrific punch.

Both TopnOtch Boxers.
Both are clever boxers, old in
ring experience They have a
friendly attitude toward occasional
punch-swapping, it's true. and are
possessed of ability to take punish

end.
Tonight's scrap should reek with

n HICAGO, Jan We don't
hear anybody saying around
these parts now that there is
any question about Luther McCar-
tvs Eameness, and figure they feel
the same way about it on the

Their McCarty has arrived, gentle
men, and he'll stay where he is for

Before McCarty mingled with
Jim Flynn people were saying that
the cowboy was the possessor Of a
saffron streak which ran straight
up and down the middle of his
broad Nebraska back. He whaled
the tough Pueblo Fireman without
batting an eye, and then they said
he went along so nicely because he
fought a man who was greatly his

Carly decided to risk the Heinen
fists In preference to a smash with
the bottle and a few well directed
punches sent Heinen to sleep in the
very next round. That bottle. bran
dished in the corner by Hart, saved
Luther from disgrace that night,
and perhaps has done much to make
a great fighter out of boy who
wanted to quit when he took his
first hard punch ON the jaw.
In justice to McCarty, it may be
said that seldom is a fighter game
until he has learned to take
punch. Many a champion there
has been who hated to stand up
under the gaff in early fights. But
the scrapper with the true spirit
and the natural ability always gets
somewhere, as McCarty has done.
Luther may not be the best heavy
weight we ever had, but he Is some
fighter, believe us, and it will take
great man to trim him.

Any man who can administer to
Carl Morris, Al Kaufman, Flynn
and Palzer such decisive beatings
as McCarty dealt out is something
more than white hope-he's a
rival on equal footing with the
best in the world
But we approve decidedly Of Nc

any of the colored heavies. While

GOODRoADS MOVE
EXPLAINED
ACTION OF HAMILTON CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE DISCUSSED
BY w. o. FISK.

Hamilton, Jan. S,-tSpecial)-ln
speaking this afternoon concerning he
campaign for better roads, started last
evening by the chamber of commerce,
w. O. Fisk declared: We are very
much interested in this matter. Of
course, the matter will have to be sub
mitted to a vote of the taxpayers, u
will first have to be regarded favor
ably by the commissioners, but we an
ticipate no trouble along these lines.
We declared last evening for bonds
amounting to s150.000, but since the
meeting l have concluded that a $780,
600 issuance would be better. Our plan
as briefly outlined calls for 5 per cent
bonds for 10 and 20 years, The work
to be done would be in the nature Of
improving the county highways and in
building the Big Hole road to the top
of the divide. The first move follow
ing the voting of the bonds would be
to call in all road warrants which are
at present drawing 6 per cent interest.
We feel that the roads can be put into
fine condition without an increase in
the levy for roads and bridges. In
fact, we feel it will reduce the taxes
rather than increase them. The great
good to come from this movement will
be putting the highways in first-class
shape, With excellent roads through
out the valley every locality will be
materially benefited. 1t is planned to
have all of this work lone under the
direction of an eXpert-one who can
build roads as well as plan Them
Here Mr.. Fisk stated that he talked
with several men at ~Stevensville today
and all We're enthusiastic over the
over the project.
There seems to be one question in
the minds of the people" declared Mr..
Fisk, and that IS as to whether the
road work will be under proper super
vision. We will have the very best
road mar We can get, and every bit of
work will be under his eye. 1t is a
matter that should appeal to every
taxpayer of the county who is inter-
ested in good roads. We will submit
figures in connection with our plans as
soen as they are prepared, so that
every man in the county will clearly
understand the movement"
