GETTING THEIR OWN BACK

A young man had taken his wife to
theater, and, as there was no one
to look after the baby, they had
brought it along. 1t cried Justify all
through the first act. At the close of
the act an official came down the
gangway and informed them that if
they could not keep the baby quiet
they would have to go to, the box

out.
They succeeded in squelching the
baby, and all went well for time.

For long while the young man sat
waiting in the drawingroom, anxious
and impatient, restlessly crossing and
recrossing left leg over right, and
right leg over left.
Why didn't she come to him? She
knew that he was in the house, knew
that he was waiting. And he knew
that each moment which she tarried
was making him more nervous and
more self-conscious.
Presently the door opened. The
young man'jumped to his feet. "Ah,"

A BRIEF TRIUMPH

A BRIEF TRIUMPH
1t was his first brief, and he was
determined to defend his client with
his last breath, if necessary. And
nowthe critical stage of the case had
come. One of his witnesses was be-
ing examined by counsel for the
prosecution:

plaintiff on the fifteenth. Is that so?"
"That is So"
"And what conversation passed be-
tween your" $780,
Before the harassed witness could
reply our friend jumped up and OBJ
jected to the question being put,
maintaining that the conversation
could not be admitted in evidence.
A heated discussion followed, and,
finally the court was adjourned in
order that the magistrate might come
to a decision.
When the court reassembled the
magistrate upheld counsel for the
prosecution, who, with look of tri-
umph, proceeded to put the question:
"Now, will you be good enough to
tell the court what conversation
passed between you and the plaintiff
when you called on him?"

He sizes up mighty well with the best
of the white hopes. The late McCarty,
Gunboat Smith. BOmbardier Wells and
Carpenter are all of a class They're
the best of an Indifferent bunch. And
Carpenters record TO date is far
ahead of any American hope. He
licked Harry Lewis. the American
welterweight champ, and he trimmed
Jim Sullivan. Ensland's middleweight
champion. Last year he beat George
Gunther. who at that time was fast
and clever. Since then he has grown
into he heavyweight class and beaten
some good men. He has made himself
the idol of France and he has cleaned

WHITE, If VICTOR,
TO BOX KILBANE
Chicagoan Is Promised New
Years Go With Champion
If He Beats Wolgast.

Chicago, Ill. Dec. l6.-Before Char
lie White started his daily training
grind yesterday afternoon Manager
Nate Lewis whispered some words in
his ear which made the North Side
ringman redouble his eXertions.
There was battle CLINT in his dark
eyes as he squared off against his
sparring partners and the latter suf-
fered as a result The words whis-
pered by Lewis were these:
tom Andrews has signed Johnny
Kilbane to fight in the Milwaukee
Auditorium on New Years afternoon.
If you whip Wolgast you will be Kill
bane's opponent and the featherweight
champion has agreed to let you come
into the ring weighing 12S pounds"
That was enough to spur White on
and arouse the determination that is
necessary to cope successfully with a
rugged warrior of the Wolgast type.
Yes. Kibane will fight in Milwau-
kee the first afternoon of the New
Year If White does not do better
than draw with Wolgast he will lose
the match. In that case it is possible
Kilbane will consent to take on the
former lightweight champion. But
Andrews is dickering with another
boxer of repute. the man from whom
Kilbane wrested the title-AbTaham
Attell, if you please. 1t probably will
be White or Attell, and il is up to
Charlie to nose Able out of the match
if he can. Andrews will not close
with either man until after the final
gong in the White Wolgast encounter
Friday night.
White went through his usual train
ing stunts yesterday. Already he is
down to 100 pounds, ard the weight TO
be made for Wolgast is 1873 at 6
O'Clock. This indicates that 12S ring
side for Kilbane will not bother
White at all.
