its grand climax-he became stock

Quinby, In all things abreast of his
great rival, was wont to speak with
such paternal enthusiasm. Up to this
time he had been merely an employe,
handsomely paid but finding his chief
reward from Henley's profitable
friendship.
When, through Henley, Mark laid the
matter of partnership informally be-
fore Quinby, he was allowed to see
through the philanthropist to-Quinby.
At first Quinby unctuously but firmly

suggestion Mark had demanded the

dignity.

Later, Henley and Mark left their

arrested his attention. He did not
know the speaker, but he halted
sharply and addressed him.

The man looked at him strangely a

If our opinion is worth listening

able to make the necessary weight of

gladiators will foregather individual

poundage that will enable them to

everything will be serene, and the
hero will marry the heroine and live

remark that If there is a chance of

lightweight (who has spoiled Willie
Ritchie's sleep for many moons) TO

February IL may be an eventful one.
Frederick has just returned from a
tour through the Middle West, and is
seeking more worlds to conquer, like
the former heavyweight chap, Cae-

Speaking OF his swing around the

Wolgast in action last night when he
stopped Meyer Prizes. of Atlanta, in the
nth round Of a scheduled en-round
bout Prizes took the count no less than
Ave times, and proved no match for the
sensational Chicago bantamweight.
Although outweighed by at least eight
pounds, Grant rushed Prizes from the
sound OF the gong in the first round,
never once letting up on his Atlanta
opponent. Prizes hit the canvas for the
first time in the second round and was
fioored twice in the fourth and fifth SEES
sions. A left hook TO the jaw ended
tho bout.
Joe Superior knocked out Eddie Muir
ply in the third round OF the semi
windup Both boys fought hard during
the time they we're in the ring, but
Superior proved too fast and strong for
Murphy. A volley OF rights and lefts
TO the Jaw ended the bout. Grant and
Superior have both been signed for the
next show to be staged here.
