BOXING NOTES
(Pro1n T. s. Andrews)

While Tom McCarey, the Los An gIes promoter, is endeavoring to ar range elimination contest among the various lightweights of the coun- legitimate 133 pound champion, to meet Freddie Welsh for the world s title, Dominick J. Tortorich of New Orleans is trying to arrange 8 sinni- lar tournament for the bantam weights.
 Since the Louisiania legislature passed the law lega1fzing 20 round contests, New Orleans has been placed upon the boxing map once more and the chances are that the Crescent City will be a strong rival of the two big California, clubs. I had a letter from MT Tortorich the other day in which he stated that he was very anxious to secure the best boys in the country to match against Kid Williams of Baltimore, who is the real worlds bantamweight, champion. J MT. Tortorich thinks there are a few boys in the South who deserve recog- hilton and he is willing to put on some big matches among the ban tatnls in order to select the best of the lot to match up for the worlds title. s'It looks to me as thougt the 20-round game will be a big success in the South,'' said MT. Tortorieh, f'and the indications are that I will OT1nS Kid Herman ana Edd16 Cdn1pa. together for a 2O-round contest. As you know, Campf is the Pacific Coast champion. but doubtful whether he will be able to make the bantam weight limit any more. Kid Herman can make the limit all right and is one of the high class boys down this way. Eddie Cou1on is another high class boy and so is Young Herman, of Pel<in, Ill., who has been spending his time around the East the past year. Frankie Burns has been after me for another chance and so has Johnny Cou1on- If these boys are reasonable I will R1atch them up in turn and then select the best of the lot to put up against Williams. I do not intend to confine myself, how ever, to bantamweights; but will try and secure some good lightwenght battles in addition, especially be- tween Joe Mandot and Joe Rivers; also with Willie Ritchie and Freddy Welsh. It was my intention to try when received the terms from some

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

19O3-Jim Jeffries Knocked out Jim Corbett in 10th round at San Francis co. This was the second time the pompadoured one had faced the big bear in the ring, in s.n effort to re- gain the title, and although the Gen t1eman' fought with much of his old time cunning and genera1ship it was soon apparent that his case was hope less. Corbett's hardest blows had no effect on the relentless Jeff, who bor- ed in until in the 10th he landed the wa1lop that ended Corbett's ring ca. reer. In his previous session with Jeff at Coney Island over three years before Corbett had lasted 23 rounds Two experiences of Jeff's sleep punch were a plenty for Corbett, thank you, and after that the former bank clerk was content to be plain James J. Cor bett, actor. A battle between the two Jims when Corbett was at his best would have been a sight for the gods. but at the age of thirty-seven he didn't stand as much chance as the proverbial snowball.S
 1899-George Dixon and Eddie santry fought 20-round draw at New York.

BEFORE AND AFTER,"
 LYCEUM TONIGHT

Before and After," the Ditrichstein comedy, which is the Thanksgiving week attraction at the Lyceum, prom ises to be one of the most enjoyable comedies offered in long time. Dit richstein has given the stage a num- Der of successes and the present weeks play is regarded as his best. The author was associated in the writing of number of successes with Clyde Fitch and, like Fitch, has been prominent in the theatrical profess sion.
 The action of Before and Alter opens in Dr. Pages office in New York and the succeeding acts take place at hotel in Saratoga Springs, N. Y. Dr. Page becomes involved in do- mestic tangle through deviation from truth. An honest explanation of conduct in trivial matter would save him from a succession of com plications that produce a series of most interesting situations. They are uniquely handled and their de- velopment provoke roars of laughter. The comedy is clean and wholesome and will be enjoyed. Interwoven is fine love element that is delightfully."- pleasing. Mir. Harlan assumes tine character of pr. Page and Mir. Wright will present the character of pr. La tham. Manager Birch assumes the role of Col Larivette an amorous F'renchman. Miss Macdonald will conclude her engagement with the Players this week in the character of Mrs. Page. Miss Bolton will assume the character of Odette and Mrs Hib- bard is cast in congenial lines.
 Evening prices will prevail for the Thanksgiving matinee. A matinee performance will be given Tuesday afternoon.

BARREL OF FLOUR
 GIVEN AT KEENEY s

The announcement of the giving away of barrel of flour at every performance during the week at Keeney's as a special Thanksgiving feature is attracting considera ble attention and the management is receiving general praise for it's plan to assist in solving the high cost Of living problem.

 The holiday week vaudeville pro- gram is to be better than the aver age and novelty seekers will find plenty in the bill to suit their tastes For a headliner the Boy Scouts band has been secured. In this organiZa- tion are fifteen clever young musi- clans, playing variety of brass in struments It is said the combina- tion makes one of the best Juvenile bands appearing before the public. The musicians wear the regulation Boy Scout uniforms. Their act should make strong appeal to music lovers particularly.
 Another big circus feature will be prominent on this weeks program, Bobby Dunn, formerly of Ringlings' tent show. having been engaged to assist in entertaining the patrons. Since his advent in vaudeville, Bobby has added a number of new stunts to his repertory and his exhibition ranks with the best that have been drafted by vaudeville magnates from the sawdust rings.

This tunic with the plaited panel is one of the very newest. It Is exceedingly smart in its lines, it is becoming to most figures and since the skirt is laid in an inverted plait at each seam, it provides comfortable fullness while it still retains fashionable lines. Here gabardine is used throughout but this is essentially season of combinations and handsome and fashionable effect could be obtained by making the skirt or lower portion of the skirt, of satin or any similar material that contrasts we'll with the tunic. The finish may be made at either the high or the natural waist line. The pIaited panels are separate from the tunic itself and joined to it; therefore, if liked they, as we'll as the skirt. can be of a con- trasting material and that feature is an especially good one in view of the many gowns that will require renovating this season. ...
 For the medium size, the skirt will re- quire 2N yds. of lining material 36 in. wide, with yd. 27 or 5s yd. 3o or A or 50 for facing; the tunic yds. 27 or 3o, 34 yds. A or 50 in. wide. The width of the skirt Is yd. and s in. before plaits are laid.
 The pattern of the skirt S463 is cut in sizes from 24 to 30 inches waist measure It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper. on receipt of ten cents.

For an entire season of twelve months, this play packed the Eltinge theater, New York city, re- ceiving praise, not only from the reg ular dramatic critics of the metrop- olis, but from prominent people, who have never before lent their names to the endorsement of any drama in- cluding Woodrow Wilson. Theodore Roosevelt, Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont. Mrs. Harriot Stanton Blatch, Sheriff Julius Hamburger and Police Commis- sioner Dougherty of New York.
 Manager Harry Von Tilzer will of fer Today the vital and vivid drama of New York life by George Broad hurst and Abraham Schooner at the Parsons theater for three days be- ginning Thanksgiving. Today is said to present vital phase of con- temporary life and to depict in all it's seriousness one of the greatest problems of married life. The four acts are laid in New York, and as the story develops there is unfolded a condition, the existence of which has never been denied resulting from the feminine love for finery and the dangers attendant thereto. In it is shown the gradual mental and moral dissolution of a young wife, buoyantIy happy in affluence but unable to ad- just herself to reverses. Today will be interpreted by a cast of splendid attainments headed by Edmund BreeSe
