THIRD WARD VOTERS HOLD
MEETING.


Friday night last the voters of the
Third Ward he'd a meeting at SEQ
vel Street Church for the purpose OF
organizing for the good of the ward
along all lines. The name chosen
was the Third Ward Civic Club.
There was spirited fight over the
name. Some wanted to have the
name read Nashville Civic Club"
others preferred the name North
Nashville Civic Club" An amend
ment was made and then an amend
ment to an amendment, but as soon
as the "citywiders" had finished Of
fering amendments the opposition
proceeded to take them off until the,
matter reverted back to its original
form, as it was passed
No sooner had this difficulty been
overcome than the meeting was,
plunged into another struggle over
the next paragraph in the declaration
Of principles which touched on the
liduor question, which favored the en-
forcement of the present state law
hut insisted on the original segrega-
tion law tnat was effective before
the state law was passed. The re-
port of the committee was sustained,
hut was later reconsidered and will
come for final settlement tonight.
II Is believed that this matter will be
stricken out for the sake of harmony.
The purpose of the Third Ward
Civic Club, it is learned is to organ
ize all of the voters in the ward into
a working force, and to get them pre-
pared to vote The opinion seems
to be general that the club should be
non-partisan and that as club it
will not endorse any special candi-
date, but will leave that matter for
the Individual to decide
The question has been advanced
that club is already in eXictence,
but it was pointed out that that club
was a Oepublican club, and that the
Third Ward Civic Club aims to take
in all voters of whatever political
faith. 1t has been suggested by
some that after the club is organized,
that it would be a good plan to have
nublin meetings and have speakers of
ability who are supporting the va
rious candidates speak 10 the club in
hohalf of their candidates. II is not
l'0Nwn whether such plan will be
presented to the club or not
The voters of the ward are deeply
interested in this movement and will
doubtless give it the largest mem.
bership any club has ever had in this
ward. for the simple reason that
every voter of whatever political be
lief can Join and feel free to exercise
his rights as citizen and a voter

Kid MCCOY ON II !.
FIGHT TRAINING

Kid Mccoy, once a ring general of
renOwn, has some new theories that
he is eXpounding as regards the tram
ing OF the average fighter. Norman
Selby, as the fighter is known il
polite society, is still a familiar in
New York, even though he was forced
some time since to abandon mis- estab-
lishment on Broadway. Hes %''t g
little red racing car, and when he isn't
occupied In experimenting the con-
struction OF his new home in the e2-
elusive section he is chuggins through
the streets of Manhattan at a CLIP
lust little faster than Tic law al
lows. ..-r
The fighters of To-Day says Nc
Coy, do altogether too much training
for their matches, and more than otteii
leave fight on the road or in the
gymnasium. don't believe, that much
roadwork is needed, anil an sire
there is too much boxing with spar
ring partners. l have proved what
am saying to my own satisfaction, and
| will prove it to the world a little
later. Some day, not 50 far distant. l
am going to take on match and
demonstrate my theories as regards
training. Just enough to Give me the
proper weight and good wind That
will do quite we'll and I'll fool lot
of people who think srrappcr ought
to be in training quart rS for two Ci
three weeks.
That's the biggest mistake n the
world"

that, if not all, at least 80 per cent
of professional wrestling matches are
fixed" Sheriff Tom Word, who has
just taken office, has announced that
none but amateur bouts will be per
mitted in~Multnomah county while he

This stand was taken in a letter
sent today to a Pendleton promoter
who planned to come to Portland to
arrange a match between Stanlslaws
Zbyszko, the Pole, and Montani, the
Umatilla Indian football player of
Pendleton.
Il refused to allow the O'Connell-
Ruzukos match only this week. said
Sheriff Word. , "Why should l play
favorites by letting outsiders come in
and take some easy money? The only
proper course is to prevent the stag
ing of all professional bouts, and that
will be my policy. Amateurs may
wrestle to their hearts content

h Eight games straight without de-
feat since their return to the islands

But that does not mean that a team
can always win, for the school Eel

for the All-Schools will be Foster
Robinson of st. Louis and "Scotty"
SchumaA, the captain of Punahou's

place at No. 3 on the Slashers. The
rest of the lineup will remain IN
changed, with R. NJ. Tobin at No. !.
Tom Driscoll at No. 2 and Walter

Heretofore the mat came hasn't been
very popular in honolulu, but its ad-
