CAMPBELL WINS !
RIGHT TO MEET
WILLIE R|TCH|E
Neither He Nor Moy Show
Any Lightweight Cham
pionship Class in
Their Bout

VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. 23.-The
Brighouse arena, to decide whether
Eddie Moy of Allentown, Pa. or Ray
Campbell of Seattle should be the op-
ponent of Willie Ritchie here on Labor
day, was won this afternoon by the
Seattle lad after very lively fight of
10 rounds
Neither fighter showed any real
lightweight class, but the boys were
fairly evenly matched.
Referee Jimmy Hewitt's decision was
not well received at the finish.
Three times during the bout Camp
bell had Moy in a bad way from
straight smashes to the Jaw. 1t was
Campbell who inflicted all the punish
nrent, and he had Moy hanging on in
the last round.
Moy landed lot of light ones, but
was unable to do anything damaging
at any stage.
Campbell forced the pace, but as
matter of fact did not box as well as he
has done in other recent fights.
Campbell had the better of the Sec
ond. fifth and eighth, ninth and tenth
rounds.
In the fourth Campbell, however.
stepped into a straight wallop that
caught him on the nose, and for the
remainder of the round was hanging
on.
Todays bout fixes the name of
Ritchie's opponent for the Labor day
match.
While the promoters OF the Welsh
Ritche match, scheduled for September
20, declare that everything Is settled
and that the match Will surely take
place. there is noticeable absence Of
money security SO far.
Welsh's sprained ankle Is still giving
trouble, and Harry Pollok, his man
ager wishes to wait until after the
Labor day match before finally settling
matters.
Forfeit Not i'm Sight
VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. 23.-Harry
Pollok, manager for Freddie Welsh, is
reluctant to post a forfeit for match
I with Willie. Ritchie on September 20
until he is sure that Welsh can condi-
tion himself for contest
Hugh Springer. head of the local
fight syndicate, announced today that
bin response to Ritchie's repeated de-
mand to have $4,000 forfeit posted, q
meeting to fix this up had been ar
ranged for next Monday.
Pollok later said he did not know
anything about a meeting to post for
feits Monday.
Richie is doing light training to
keep in condition.
Aside from his fight with Eddie Moy
on Labor day and his prospective
match with Freddie Welsh September
20, Ritchie has no other engagements.

MAINTENANCE OF GOOD ROADS

of public highways, and a number of
the state legislatures are considering
good road legislation. In connection
with the general impetus that the good
road movement has recently had in all
parts of the country, the director Of
the Office of public highways says:
Too much stress cannot be laid
upon the Importance of maintenance
in connection with the work of inn
proving the roads. The people in
nearly all the states are filled with
enthusiasm for road Improvement and
are spending enormous sums of money
in the construction of superb roads.
and yet almost without exception they
are making little provision to care
for the roads after they are built. This
IS true not only in the various coun.
ties, but under many of our state high.
way departments.
ITO maintain the roads in good con.

Death of Mrs. M. j. Faunce

Mrs. Martha j. Faunce died suddenly
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. n
Putnam, early last Sunday morning. She
appeared to be in her usual good health
Saturday, was out on the street during
the evening and retired later in her APP
parent good health. She was taken i'll
about one o'clock and passed away at
$3.50 Sunday morning-heart trouble be-
ing the cause of her death.
Mrs. Faunce was born in Chelsea. Her
first husband was Nelson Smalley of
Stowe, who died q years ago. By him
she had six children, four of whom sur
vive. They are Mrs. Ella Putnam of this
place, Mrs. II. Phillips of Nebraska, Il.

For her second husband she married

did all possible to make her declining
years pleasant.
Mrs. Faunce was a very interesting and
pleasing woman, took much interest in
public affairs and in spite of her advanced
years, 3d., was frequent attendant at
church. She was held in high regardby
all who knew her. Surely she has come
