CHlCAGOANS PLAN SYSTEM -
FOR SOCIAL SERVICE WORK.
Seek to Remedy Dissipation In Civic
Eetterment Efforts.

4 group of Chicago men and women
Ct national prominence have launched
a movement expected to systematic
its social betterment endeavors. Plans
for the work were decided upon at
general gathering of representatives OF
various organizations for social work.
and they will be carried out at once.
Before it has attained It's object the
undertaking will have enlisted IN its
support these agencies:
Every church that has displayed any
interest in the condition Of life Of the
people of its community.
Every newspaper that has stood for
better things in Chicago.
Every hospital.
Every agency engaged in corrective
work for children.
Every social settlement working Or
ganizatipn and every society engaged
in extending relief to the needy.
The assertion was made at the meet
ing that a bewildering network Of ma.
chinery for social improvement has
grown up and that many needs have
been neglected. while work in other d.
rections has been duplicated
A general stock taking Of Chicago's
facilities for civic betterment will be
the first step. \ campaign Of public IN
struction through lectures in the
churches and elsewhere through the
newspapers will then be undertaken.

shakeup' are groundless, especially as
the positions are all. under civil serv-

has the class and the experience. but

Ing that man who expects to beat
Meehan must be gamester.
The colored man loks like regu-
lar fighter. He can handle his dukes
like man who knows his business
and he appears to be fast on his feet
According to his eastern record. he
is a high class performer. but the
local fans always want the eastern
ers to show them.
Meehan is one of those rip snort
ing performers. who goes right In and
mixes things up. He never is quiet
for an instant In the ring. He. be-
lieves in keeping on top OF his man
all the time and he Is always willing
to take beating. Willie appears to
be In good shape. for this battle and
II he loses he will have no excuses
to offer.
Much interest is being taken in the
special event, which brings Johnny
Sodenberg of Omaha and Tom Nickola,
the local middle weight together
This ought to be corking good scrap.
The last time they met, Nickola got
the decision, which was very unpopu-
lar with the fans. for Sodenberg
made a hurricane finish and all but
knocked Nickola out
They are betting even money on
the encounter, so close does it look.
Nickola is a better hitter, but Soden-
berg can box and he also can take
the gaff. which makes him solid with
the local sports. The Omaha lad is
one of the most promising four
FOUNDERS who has appeared here in
months, and IL he beats Nickola he
ought to be in line for a better match.
Two other tough middle weights.
Otto Berg and Charley Grande, are
also down on the list They are slug
gers who know nothing but to tear
around and it looks as though one of
them Ought to register a Knockout.
Both have been fighting around here
for the past couple of years and are
very well known to the fans. Berg
