er, doesn't care what's the matter
with the Sox or Cubs, but he is sore
at the actions of some of the prize
fighters in this vicinity.
In KiIroy's stable is Jimmy Cassidy,
a welterweight, and this Cassidy can
trim any welter in Chicago. Kilroy
admits it freely. But he claims none
of the other welters will pay any at
tention to Cassidy.
KiIroy wants the weight to be 142
pounds ringside or 1873 pounds at
o'clock, the welter limit. He directs
his challenge especially at Spike Kel-
ly, Ferns, Walters and Mike Gibbons.
KiIroy says that Cassidy has out
boxed Tommy Sheehan in II rounds
and later stopped him in II rounds
at Chicago Heights. This, adds Mr.
Kilroy, is better than Kelley could do

overtime this summer on these main

Right now the approach to the Third
avenue bridge on the north side is in
at condition to kill somebody in the
same way in which a man was killed
at Avoca last week. He stopped his
car at the bridge approach to let an
other car come across the bridge. All
at once the earth embankment gave
way and the automobile rolled over
several times down the bank, landing
on the victims neck. Recent rains have
undermined the earth at many bridge
approach and drivers of cars should
beware. So long as the county has it's
roads in process of repair the city
should put on an extra force and grade
its main travelled roads and get the
work done for the summer.

MarshaItown and Burlington to Play

Marshalltown and Burlington will
meet in double header Sunday. as
the postponed game of Friday is to be
played Of CT that day. To escape
showers and thunder storms and be
able to play two games out Of series
Of three is considered good luck by the
local association these days. The de-
layed spring rains are causing double
headers to pile up at an alarming rate
and the only one who can see any
benefit accruing from the delays is the
man who loves to sit thru eighteen In
nings in the late summer.

to pitch the first game Sunday and 1t
expected that the games will bring out

games were played in the league Fri
day, the Clinton Ottumwa game
being postponed because Of rain. AS a
