One certain little bantamweight
fighter of Chicago. named Johnny
Coulon, is all worked up over the lat
est move of Tom McCarey. Los An
geles fight promoter. McCarey has ar
raLged for a fistic battle between Ed
die Campi of San Francisco and Kid
Williams of Baltimore in his Vernon
arena on Feb. II. To the man who
walks out of his ring victor on that
day he will present a very handsome
belt, emblematic of the worlds ban
tamweight championship.
Now, as it happens, Coulon has a
hunch that he is already the bantam
weight champ, and he can't see the
sense or propriety of McCarey spend

those gentlemen is to meet him
Champion Johnny Coulon.
Did you ever hear of fellow los,
ing his title without being beaten?'
asks Johnny. Well, it looks as il
McCarey was trying to take it away
from me in broad daylight, and when
I'm wide awake. too. He can't do that
and get away with it, for who would
ever recognize Williams or Camp
champion until they have won from
me? I've been champion for a long
time, and I'm still champion, and they
can't make me anything else unit
some one defeats me.
The claims of this fellow Williams
and his manager that Williams bea'
me in a ten-round go in New York are
all wrong. In the first place he didn'
beat me, for the worst they could
have given me in that fight was al
e. en- break. In the second place NJ
decisions are given there, so how

Boys TOURNEY
AT SCHOOL ENDS
Juniors Have Best Basketball
Team and the Seniors Are
in Second Place.

The junior basket ball team finished
the boys basketball tournament at
the local high school with a clean
slate last night defeating the appren-
tice team by the count Of 81 to IA.
The seniors won the second game Of
the evening, and secured second place
in the standing. They defeated TIE
sophomores, who were not without
hopes of holding down the second
place themselves by a 81 to 80 score.
Brough and Smith were the spectacu-
lar players on the senior team, while
Ackley and Gleason were in the lime
light for the sophomores. The game
was one OF the hardest fought
contests ever played On the local gym
floor, and there was not q moment of
the game which was without interest.
The first contest of the evening
was the junior-apprentice battle. AL.
thought it was foregone conclusion
that the juniors would win, the car
penters put up a good fight, and show
ed the result Of the three games
which they played together in the
tournament. Although they still are
not we'll versed in the rules of the
game, they have the rudiments of the
game in mind, and have done exceed
fngly well throughout the series, con
sidering the fact that most OF the
team are entirely green men. Lun.

maker, is one Of the best players who
has been brought to light during the
tournament. In the contest last night
against the juniors he threw all the
baskets, making the total of IA points

Hicks of Detroit in a ten-round bout
here last night.
McGoorty was the aggressor nearly
all through. but seemed to lack steam
in his punches. He landed left hooks
frequently on the head and face and
right upper cuts to the body, but
Hicks withstood the mall and kept
placing let's TO the stomach and ribs
in nearly every round. These jabs to
tho body evidently hurt McGoorty. Out
side of these Hicks only reached the
head or face a few times during the
bout
Hicks took lot Of punishment, but
stood II well. There was little OF no
infghting, all OF the work being done
az long range with McGoorty landing
four punches to the other mans one
/ II was a rather tame exhibition. The
men weighed 1853 pounds each.

Such a statement as the foregoing
should prove of unusual interest to
those suffering with similar troubles.
Al. OF this nervous, debilitated trou-
bic is due principally to imperfect d.
eestion. Most people. however, are
not seriously affected with imperfect
digestion. They are just loggy and
nervous and easily tired. They feel
worn out after a little exertion and
are moddy and depressed. These are
sure symptoms OF an overworked stcm-
acb that needs toning up and regIl-
