CHICAGO, Nov. PIT all depends
on the sporting editors OF the country
plus the balancing weight of the pub
lie whether Champion Freddie Welsh
gives Charley White a ten, twenty or
forty-ive round battle this winter.
Harry Pollok, the Englishman's
manager, on his way through here
yesterday. made this promise to Nate
Lewis. Whites manager. The two
had a long talk in the presence Of a
dozen Chicago scribes and the talk
sounded bona fde. Pollok explained
to Lewis and the newspaper bunch.
why he favors having the four best
Iightweights OF the country picked and
sent against Welsh instead Of letting
them scrap out among themselves,
the best of the four to meet the
champ.
Pollok very frankly pointed out that
Freddie wouldn't get any OF the pick
ings from the preliminarfes and there
fore. being the title holder, would de-
mand larger purse for the fight
with the winner. BY meeting all the
four, Pollok said he wouldn't demand
such large purses. Lewis agrees the
plan was fair enc.
One point Pollok made plain. He
said no lightweight would be barred
except Willie Richie. To get fight
Ritchie would have to give Welsh a
fiat $25. 900 guarantee. since that's
what Richie got for giving Welsh the
memorable battle in London.

terday.

The Keokuk public library is the
first institution In Iowa to take up a
system Of marking books which Is In
vogue in the east Miss Julia Robin
son, secretary of the Iowa library COM
mission. was much interested In the
fact that Keokuk Is the nrst to adopt
this system, and asked for reports on
the success of the idea.
Instead of putting on square labels
which crack every time the book Is
opened, the new system provides for
the use OF small letters and figures
which are attached to the book. These
letters and figures are gummed on
one side, and the appearance OF the
book is much heater and the number
ing is much more satisfactory.
All of the books In the Gramm col
lection have been marked In this
fashion.
This system Is IN use largely
throughout the east. This IL the first
time. however, that 1t has been intro
duced into an Iowa library. and
speaks well for the progressiveness
of the Keokuk library.
