Freddie Welsh Goes, to New York
Burns Whips Herman.


Charlie White for a twenty-round
battle with Freddie Welsh for the
lightweight championship. Down in
New Orleans promoters are talking
about offering $4,000 for a go be-
tween the two stars and Denver fight
club managers are also ready to put
up $4,000 to bind a match.
But Lewis believes that by waiting
he can boost the ante, as White and
Welsh are. the best two pugi1isitc
cards now before the country. Also,
it is doubtful if Welsh would agree to
a match except under prohibitive con-
ditions.
Freddie has gone to New York and
will undoubtedly spend the next few
months picking up the coin in short
bouts there, where his title is in no
danger. If bona1fde offer is made
later, and Welsh does not ask 101 per
cent of the guarantee, White will not
be the one to balk the bout.
New Orleans staged a good bout
yesterday, frankie Burns, the Jer-
sey City bantam, forcing Kid Her
man of the Crescent City to quit at
the end of the 18th round. Herman
started at fast clip, but Burns bat
tered away at his body, and hackers
of the local product tossed up the
sponge when the bell rang for the
18th round.
Johnny CouIon challenged Burns
and fight will probably be arranged
for a dotn in Dnonmh1r They are old
rivals, Coulon having defeated Burns
some years ago in New Orleans.

of the season now nearing a close.
Except for the defeat of Michigan
there were no upsets in the big
games, though some Of the scores
were slight surprise. l
Here in the Conference, Illinois,
took another stride toward the title9
by running over Chicago, completely
routing the Maroons in the final
quarter. The result was another
tribute to Zupke's style of football. Z
In the earlier periods Of the game
the Mini were mainly on the defensive
and Chicago was allowed to escape
from dangerous positions on several
occasions But in the last Is minutesS
of play, when the Maroons were ex-3
hausted, the DOWNSTAIRS turned
loose all of their bewildering tricks
and double and triple forward passes
quickly put the oval over the Chicago
goal line twice Clark later ran the
length of the field on the KICKOFF for
the third and last touchdown.
Wisconsin still threatens Illinois,
but comparative scores do not hold
out much encouragement for the
Badgers. Chicago played Wisconsin
to a scoreless tie, and Minnesota
easily walked over them. Illinois wall
loped Minnesota handily. .t
Chicago was without Flood and
Gray for the greater part of the game
but there presence would hardly have
changed the result. Illinois has a
really great football team, as good as
the Conference has seen for several
seasons. -'......
Northwestern was slaughtered by
Purdue, but scored for the first time
this season against Conference
eleven. Minnesota showed some ex-.
cellent football to beat Wisconsin.

DAMASK THE BETTER CHOICE
Attractive as Is Heavy Linen for Ia.
bIecIoths and Napkins the Other
Is Preferable.

Plain heavy linen makes very at
tractive tablecloths and napkins. 1t
is used in a restaurant where the
furnishings are all interesting; and it
is used by some fastidiOus house
wives. In the restaurant 1t is quite
satisfactory, for the cloth is changed,
naturally, for every diner. But in the
ordinary household it has this one
disadvantage. 1t does show wrinkles
and spots more quickly than heavy
figured damask does. So if there is
not a fresh cloth for every meal.
damask may be a better choice.
But the linen is beautiful, and in
any household it might be used for a
special dinner set. The napkins and
tablecloth may be finished with fine
embroidery stitch, or like the ordinary
napkin hem, finely done by hand, or
else they are hemstitched in an inch
wide hem.
