right direction: and under God will eventually
lead TO better things. One has but to look at
the wrecks that line the shore to form esti

generations from that which has in the past

everywhere to endorse the right and condemn
the wrong. Move for a higher and grander CIV

In spite Of the confident tone of the
remarks of Charlie Whites hackers,
we can see nothing but defeat ahead
for him in his battle with Willie
RitChie tonight in Milwaukee. The
fact that White is a local man I'M
doubtedly has something to do with
the fixing of the odds, which make
the champion a 1O-to-7 favorite.
In other cities there is a sleeper
price on Richie.
White is a good fighter, make no
mistake about that, and a defeat to-
night will not lower his prestige one
bit. All of the other leading light
weights have been up against the
Ritchie game with dire results to
themselves.
All arrangements have been made
for handling a record crowd tonight
Special trains will leave at 5:45 and
$40 over the Northwestern and 6:10
on the c., NJ. & St. P. The trains will
return half an hour after the fight
is over.
