TIM COLLINS IS
HOSTAT BANQUET
Thirty five Friends Are Enter
tanned at Elaborate Birth
day Anniversary Feast.

Tim Collins again celebrated his
29th birthday anniversary" as he ex-
pressed it, Saturday night, entertain
ing some 35 of his frienls at an elab-
crate banquet to commemorate the
momentous occasion. The dinner
was served at o'clock in the Knights
of Columbus hall, an elaborate deco
rative scheme, involving a combina-
ton of white carnations and Ameri-
can beauty roses being used on the
tables with artistic effect.
Mirth and felicity reigned supreme.
After the good things had been stow
ed away, Johnny Foggarty, comedian
at the Empire, kept the crowd in an
uproar with a stock of Irish stories,
told in his own inimitable manner.
+. J. Gould was the caterer and pro.
duced a feast which was fit for the
Gods, ambrosia and nectar being mere
ly entrees at the affair.
Tim was showered with congratula-
lions and if he lives as long as his
friends babe him at the banquet, he
will have Methuse.ah looking like an
infant that has yet to cut its first
tooth.

Denver, Col.-One Of the boys who
must be considered seriously as a
contender for the much disputed vel
terweight championship title is Char
ley Pierson, The Fighting Newsboy'
Of this city. who at the present time
is making his headquarters in Kansas
City.
Pierson has been boxing as a pro-
fessionai only four years, and in that
time has not been knocked out His
only defeats have been at the hands
of Howard Baker, the Colorado mid
dleweight, and Sailor Billy" Walters
of Chicago, champion OF the navy,
who won a shade decision over him
in ST. Joseph last year.
PiersOn boxes all OF them from mid
dleweights to lightweights. it being
possible for him to make 135 pounds
a few hours before he fights. How.
ever. he prefers 142 pounds ringside.
He is known as tough aggressive
boy, one who fights rather than boxes,
and one who can assimilate all kinds
OF punishment.
