dies Destinies of Boxers.
Show at Hunting Park
Arena Tonight
GRANDE TO LEAVE TOWN

Miss Lizette Hoag. of New York who
handles the pugilistic destinies of her
brother featherweight boxer, Clarry Mar
shall, does not stand out as the only
woman fight manager. Out in Joplin, Mo-,
where Fred Sears. of this city. is promot-
ing bouts, pretty Indian girl appears in
the role of boxing handler. She is Miss
Manager Elizabeth fucker. or rather
Manager Miss Elizabeth Tucker. a full
blooded Cherokee Indian.
Like Miss Hoag, the redskin maiden is
looking after the pugilistic aspirations of
her own kin. She has a twin brother,
Lonnie. 20 years old, and Frankie, an
other brother, two years her Junior, light
weight and featherweight, respectively.
Lonnie is no third-rater If reports to
the effect that he has a victory over Joe
Azevedo, the Portuguese. who drew with
Sam Robideau here, are true. In an elm
ination tournament Lonnie is said to have
won the lightweight championship Of the
Southwest.
Johnny Krause. boxer, and Tommy Ca-
rey, fighter, rival Nicetown lightweights,
are booked for the wind-up at the new
Hunting Park A. c., Pulaski Hall, to-
night
The program follows:
First bout-Kid Smith. TioEa. vs. Young
Lehman. TioRa.
second bout-Joe shellington. Norristown. vs..
Eddie Russell. Hilton A. A.
Third bout-Sponce Rice, Nicetown. VS.. Fred

Tommy Carey, Nicetown.

Frank Loughrey and Joe Borrell at the

when the former refused to take OIL the

of $500 Matchmaker Pop O'Brien offered
each 30 per cent. of the receipts.
Unable to get any more bouts in Phila-
deiphia, Sailor Charley Grande, of VAL
lejo, Cal. probably will invade New York,
then make a tour of the New England
States and Canada. before returning to

er and gave Philadelphians a run for their
money.

QUAKER STATE
ELEVENS HOLD
POST AT FRONT
Seven Pennsylvania Col
leges in Forefront on
the Football Field
By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL

In the intercollegiate football armament
there is no Constellation that shines with
so much lustre as that represented by
the state of Pennsylvania. The Keystone
commonwealth has at least seven teams
that, year in and year out, compare ia
vorably with the most lustrous in the
country No other state in the union can
boast OF more than two or three of their
brilliancy.
Usually the University OF Pennsylvania
is the bright particular star from this
state, but just now this institution is In
partial eclipse, The state is fortunate.
however in having so many other teams
which can uphold its reputation. Ably
supporting our own university are Pitts
burgh University. Washington and Jeffer-
son College. Penn State, Lafayette, Le-
high and the Carlisle Indian school. And
occasionally such teams Swarthmore,
Bucknell. Haverford and Gettysburg do
things on the Gridiron than enhance the
football glory of the state.
For more that twenty years the Uni
verstty of Pennsylvania has occupied
rank in the same flight with Harvard.
Yale and Princeton. In it's all around
athletic activity IT. is ,unexcelled by any.
On the football field the Carlisle In
dians and Penn State probably have
maintained the highest uniform strength.
The Indians have beaten every big team
in tho country, except Yale, and they
probably would have few victories to
their credit over the Eli's If they were
admitted to a place on the Yale sched-
ule. Just now they are trying to adjust
themselves to playing football without
the guiding hand of Glenn Warner.
The Penn State eleven has done big
things in football way. In the last five
years it's teams have beaten Pennsylva-
MIA three times and held the Quakers once
TO tie score. Last year they held the
championship Harvard eleven to 1918
score, and even the Harvard coaches ad-
mitted that their team was outplayed.
Pittsburgh is a newcomer, but so good
that usually well balanced observers are
already proclaiming II the greatest team
of the year Last year Pittsburgh beat
Cornell, Penn State and the Indians it's
only, defeat being at the hands of Wash
ington and jefferson. The w. and j. team
coached by Bob Folwell, former Penn
sylvania captain, had the best team in
it's history last year. The only team to
beat II was Harvard and here the score
was 1919, w and j. administered a 1871
defeat to Yale and although minus many
of it's star players from last year, hopes
to beat Yale again on Saturday.

Simply a Case of
Whose OK Is Gored.

Up in Alabama, where the legisla-
ture has authority to act on such
questions. the dry majority in the leg
islature has passed statewide prohi-
bition law over the governors veto
The LIQUOR interests are therefore
calling for referendum vote of the
people on the proposition. Such things,
they say, ought to be referred to the
people direct.
Down here in Florida, where the
legislature has no such authority and
where the only method of DEALING with
a statewide prohibition measure is by
direct vote of the people. the liquor
interests always oppose such refer
endum vote.
IL the Alabama legislature had a wet
majority and was thereby able to de-
feat statewide prohibition law. would
the liquor interests be in favor of re-
ferring such law to the people? An
swer-they would not.
If the Florida Legislature had the
right TO pass statewide prohibition
law and ala II would the LIQUOR inter-
csts then want the matter referred To
the peopie2 Answer they would
SO you see, it all depends on whose
