To the Voters of Garland County:
 Quite 8 number of voters have called upon me from time to time, to become candidate for the legisa. ture. For some reasons. whether right or wrong, they seem to think that my experience in the past legis- lature. together with my acquaint- anceship formed at that time. would better equip me for the position.

THIS FIGHT NOVELTY

They Write Names Of Winners
at Sharkey A. c. and These
Are Counted and Results An
nOunced.
CvERY fight fan his own refsrss.

LIVERY fight fan his own referee.
T. That's the latest wrinkle In
boxing. 1t took the manage
ment Of the Sharkey A. e. to invent I
this novel idea, and the patrons OF
the club are highly pleased with II.
Here's how It's done:
As each patron enters the club he
IL handed q card on which he Is re-
quested to write the names OF the
men he thinks wins each bout. AZ
the end of the show he is requested
To deposit his ticket in box provided
for tho Durposc. Tho boxer receiving
the most decisions--or votes--is given
a silver belt, providing ha receives a
verdict OH six different occasions. lie
is also paid according to his worth as
IA boxer
Why wouldn't II be- "a good idea for
the Garden a. G. and othor clubs to
adopt tho same plan. Then the fans
might not dispute some of the de-
cisiCns OF the experts on the various
papers as they often do now. Then
real popular decisions could DO
secured. and the patron would have
just as much To say In the rendering
OF decision as the average referee.
The papers would publish the result
OF the count and lot II 40 at that.
How the Sharkey a. G. hit upon the
novel popular decision plan follows:
When 1t was proposed to have Jack
johnson fight some white man In this
city some months back, the State
Boxing Commission Immediately ruled
that there must be no mixed fights
that Is. white man couldn't meet
colored man in a ring in this State.
AS the first class colored boxers
are now q mere handful. the impor-
lance of this edict wasn't realized.
When the announcement was made
the fans believed that outside Of
johnson, Langford, Jeanette and may
be one or two more there weren't
enough classy negro nghters to make
the rule as laid down by the boxing
commission have any dire effect.
But when they made this rule no.
body thought Of the great number
Of colored preliminary and third and
fourth class boxers that would Be
thrown out Of work.
In q short time the colored boys
were greatly alarmed, as their SER.
vices were no longer required. The
public has never been very keen to
pay to see two colored men fight. fer
as rule they don't try very hard
against each other-and consequently
none OF the ebony hued gladiators
were being employed.
But 1t was the McMahon boys who
solved q way to provide work for the
colored men and at the same time
earn a good bit Of dough for them-
al kA -
staging an all-colored show early this
season and every meeting has been
crowded to the door.
Dominick Buckley. manager OF the
Sharkey A. c.. realized the wisdom Of
the Mcmahon brothers plan. and he
| decided to put on similar shows. b,it
he went the Harlem boys one shade
better: he struck upon tho plan VI
