Our Local Industry

The Barre telephone exchange is local
industry. The plant is firmly rooted here. 1t
represents many thousands of dollars invested
in poles, wire, cables, conduits, swtchboards,
etc.-dollars that would shrink to small frac-
tions if this delicate and costly plant were not
maintained at high degree of efficiency.
The exchanges welfare is to large degree
dependent upon Barre's welfare. AS Barre
prospers the exchange prospers. More bust
ness for Barre means more telephone business,
and more telephones mean more workers to
install and operate thenl-workers who largely
are local residents, whose expenditures help
local business.
Our Company is a part of the great Bell Sys-
tenn which connects $4,000 cities or towns in
the United States. But our success as an ex-
change-as unit of this great SYSTEMS
Judged by what we do here in Barre and for
Barre
We have every incentive of selfish or civic
interest, therefore, to work for efficient tele-
phone service for Barre, not only that our work
may receive official recognition and reward but
also that our friends and neiehbors may be well
served, and that these local industries whose
patronage furnishes us our bread and butter
may have our hearty cooperation and support.
1t is in this spirit we seek additional patron
age. and express desire to receive suggestions
that will make the service of the Barre Central
Office matter of even greater local pride

Today in Pugilistic Annals.

1898-Joe Walcott and Mysterious Billy Smith fought a. 25-round draw in New York. Smith, who was the first welter weight champion, was one of the few white boxers who was never afraid to fight the Barbados Demon. Their4first fight was in 1895. at Boston, and went Is rounds to a draw. A little later they met again in New York, and Smith got the de- cision after 25 rounds. After the 25< round draw. in 1898. in which Walcott seemed stronger at the finish, Smith West at Bridgeport, and then took on Walcott again, defeating him in 20 rounds. Tn 1900, after he had lost on a foul to Rube Ferns at Buffalo and had been defeated by Matty Mat thews for the title, Billy took on the Demon again, and this time Joe got the decision on 8 foul in the 18th round. A few months afterward they mixed again, and Joe got another de- cision against his old enemy as the result of a. foul. Joe was always a little afroid of Smith, who was often guilty of rough tactics in the ring, and Joe, as ac co1ored man pitted against 8 white, dared not retaliate in kind.

GUNBOAT SMITH TO
 MEET CARPENT TIER

Dominick Buckley announced last night that he had received word from his brother Jim who is in San Fran cisco with Tommy Murphy and Gum boat Smith, that he had clinched a match between Smith and Georges Carperrtier, to be contested in London on a date yet to be settled upon- Jim was authority for the statement that a purse Of $25O0O was to be put up by Dick Burge, the old time light weight. who Is to stage the bout at Olympia.
 ,Anent the match between smith and Battling Ie~znsky, Jim wired Domin- dck to refute the statements issued by Dan Morgan to the effect that that bout had been fixed for May 8. Jim asserts that his contract states that Smith is to meet I4evinslxy in the first bout he takes part in, immediately af- ter his return to New York. In conse- quence Buckley may travel all over the country for the next ten years and still not have to meet Lev1nsly until he gets back, according to the provisions of his contract. On the other hand the McMahona, who are to stage the bout, have a contract signed by Buckley which calls for May 8 as the date.

BOXING NOTES

The showing Of Jimmy G1abby, the Hammond midd1eweight, against Ri1- ly Murray, the Pacific Coast 158 pounder, before Jim Coffroth.s club at San, Francisco was rather a disap- pointment toS his many friends, a1- though when everything is considered it is not surprising that Murray was able to travel the twenty rounds with the Indiana boy. It may be that all the trouble CIabby had in Los Ange- les affected his work for the natGh, otherwise his friends expected that he would win decisively over Murray, who is practically a new conner in ranks. Jim Coffroth stated couple of weeks ago that he considered Mur- ray one Of the most promising boys of his weight and he has certainly proven the assertion. According to the accounts sent out from the coast CIabby outpointed his man, but the referee in summing up the affair at the end of the twentieth round con sidered the aggressiveness of Mur- ray and gave him the benefit of a
 draw If the accounts sent out are correct, G1abby had the. best Of at least seven rounds, while Murray had
 only three; but judging a fight at a
 distance and being on the spot is q
 very different proposition, and the referee no doubt had cause for giving the verdict he did. It is a foregone SOAA>AAAkSAsS4r .tfte11 VIII nGF6aICST take the best of care of hirnseIf and
 be better prepared for battles in the future. 1t also means a big boost for Mir. Murray and he must now be classed among the contenders for the crown.
 Despite the fact that Battling Le- whisky lost to Bob Adoha in MdFwan- keer a couple of weeks ago, he is get ting big matches just the same, due. in g. measure, to the business ability of his manager, Daniel Morgan. Le- vinslEy will met Jack Dillon at Butte Mont, on April fifth in a. 12-round contest. .Ley1nsI<y will have to show much better form than he did against
 Bob Moha or<Dillon will be very liable to give him sleep potion. It will go to prove Morgan's claim that he was sick when he met Moha in Milwau- kee-- Notwithstanding that the Battler
 has been matched with Dillon, his manager. Daniel, has also booked
 him to meet Gunboat Smith in New
 York on May sth. The Gunboat man
 is a tough proposition. no matter what the critics may say. and Levin sky will find him about the hardest
 nut to crack he has yet tackled. Smith Is not the cleverest mar in the world, but he does know how. to hit and MT. Levinsky nenot the hard est man to hit in this country If the Battfer goes through t-,ese two con tests with anywhere near an even break, he will be entitled to a great
 deal Of credit.
