Ella May Holmes vs. Walter T. Holms
In the Circuit Court for Cecil County.
In Equity, No 312l..

In Equity, No 3l2l.,
The object of this suit is to procure decree
for divorce, divorcing the plaintiff Ella May
dant Walter L. Holmes,
The bill states that the said plaintiff was
married to the defendant on the 9th day of
July, 1903. and resided with him in Cecil
County and State of Maryland until the nth
day of August 1910.
2, That, though the conduct of your oratrix
towards her husband the said Walter L. Hol-
mes. has always been kind, affectionate and
above reproach, the said Walter L. Holmes
has. without any just canse or reason, aban-
doned and deserted her, and has declared his
intention to live with her no longer. and that
such abandonment discontinued uninterrupt-
eddy for at least three years, and is deliberate
and final. and the separation of the parties
beyond any reasonable expectation of recon
citation.
| 8. That there has been no children born to
the said parties as result of said marriage.
4. That the defendant does not reside In the
State of Maryland but elsewhere beyond the
| jurisdiction of this Court, and concludes
with prayer that the said plaintiff may be
divorced a yincule matrimonii from the defen-
dant. and that said plaintiff may have such
other and futher relief as her case may re-
quire.
It thereupon, this 18th day of September,
1918, ordered by the Circuit Court Of Cecil
County, In Equity, that the plaintiff, by caus-
ing copy of this order is to be inserted in
some newspaper, published in Cecil County.

rounds Of his game and the French
Market marvel got away with only
shade.
Abel has never failed in Atlanta
nor has he been stopped anywhere
that we know of since he really
began to use his hands right and
tumbled to the idea that he had a
real ring brain
He fought tough little Terry Mel
son in Atlanta twice. once at Stat
ems old club, and Fuzzy Woodruff
gave Nelson the decision, saying
that Terry hit the hardest. Later
the boys fought a draw in Chatta-
nooga and to have it out came to
Atlanta one night. At a private
club they fought Al rounds. Mel
sons seconds threw up the sponge.
Abel was going as well in the thir-
ty-hfth round of this scrap as he
was in the fifteenth. but, then. no.
body ever accused the Chattanooga
scrapper OF having a kick.
Abel fought Joe Sherman here
when the latter was running under
the name of Young Joe Grim and
Sherman is far from dub, as his
bouts with Mandot and frankie
Russell have proved. Sherman and
Abel went ten rounds to a draw.
Whitney Beat Terry Nelson.
1t is true that Whitney beat
Ferry Nelson at the old James
street club. but Terry was swap
ping punches with him all the wav.
and was hardly an object of pity at
at the end Of the bout.
As matter of fact neither Abel
nor Whitney have ever been found
guilty Of packing terrific punch.

Both Topnotch Boxers.
Both are clever boxers, old in
ring experience. They have
friendly attitude toward occa sional
punch-swapping, it's true. and are
possessed of ability to take punish
ment. But they are boxers in the
end.

" HICAGO, Jan. We don't
hear anybody saying around
these parts now that there is
any question about Luther McCar-
tvs gameness, and figure they feel
the same way about it on the
coast. Since Luther mutilated Al
Palzer from Iowa with a pair of
boxing gloves on New Years aft
ernoon. most folks are dotling their
bOnnets in admiration Of the all
around ring skin OF the young giant
who gained his strength and endu-
rance roughing it on the Nebraska
plains and his boxing ability hang
ing around gymnasiums studying
the work of the fellows who know
how TO use their mitts. The Lad
with the Irish surname and the non
Irish front monicker has proved his
capabilities in everything that goes
to make a ring man of class. Lu-
Their McCarty has arrived, gentle
men, and he'll stay where he is for
some time
Before MCCartN mingled with
Jim Flynn people were saying that
the cowboy was the possessor of a
saffron streak which ran straight
up and down the middle of his
broad Nebraska back He whaled
the tough Pueblo Fireman without
batting an eye, and then they said
he went along SO nicely because he

Whitney, although they say that
Abel will enter the ring with a
slight edge in weight-a pound or
tWo-carries one advantage, if his
previous milling is to be taken IS
criterion of the stuff he will exhibit
Whitney should outclass Abel at
iuf1ghting. He is the stronger
showing fighter OF the two. He
carries more of his weight in his
back and shoulders than a little bov
like Abel. Whitney, too, probably
will pack more steam in his short
punches
Abel Has Swell Left.
1t will be AbePs ability to avoid
close contact by frequent well
placed use of that tantalizing left
of his that will tell all there is 10
tell OF the tale. If he permits
Frank to bore in and land those IA
vorite right hooks or too many up
percuts, Jake may leave the ring
badly beaten.
He might find himself stopped
completely, but the margin of the
knockout possibility is very narrow.
If 1t comes at all, it will be the
chance blow, and ringsters like
Abel and Whitney aren't peddling
wide chances in ten-round bouts.
Frankly, l look for it to be
corking mill, with plenty of action,
surely lots of science; almost GER
tain to go ten rounds, with a slight
edge in favor of Whitney, due
largely to his better ability while
going in, staying in and coming
out.

shape, but there is grave doubt .
to whether or not he has the full
