Al MCCOY MAY Meet
SULLIVAN At ARDMORE
Shenandoah Knockout King to Battle
New Cheese Champ" at Maryland
Club on October 25.

After considerable wrangling about
weight and other arrangements Manager
Jimmie La FOntaine of the Maryland
Athletic and Social Club has signed the
new Al Mccoy to meet X. o. Sullivan
of Shenandoah. Pa. These two middle
weights have fought the top-notchers in
the middle weight class and in bringing
them together the local public will get a
chance to see two real fighters work
against each other. 1t is not definitely
settled yet but in all probability the
match will come off on Monday. October
9th though some later date may be de-
cided upon.
McCoy's record as fighter is we'll known
all over the country has he has won over
such good men as George Chip. Young
Erne, Jack McCarron. X. o. Sweeney,
and the Champion Al Mccoy and in Sulli-
van he faces a man that is tearing In
all the time with a deadly wallop In
either hand, according to his record he
has fought such good men as Joe Bon
rell, Jack McCarron, Eddie Revoirc, and
only lately he held the sensational Bat
tling Levinskey to a ten-round draw at
Shenandoah. Pa.
La Fontaine has shown good Judgment
by attempting to match these two great
middle weights and should have the
greatest middle-wcight fight ever held at
the Maryland Club. Arrangements are
now being made by Manager La 'Fontaine
to have X. o. Sullivan to come here and
train for this fight as he would like to
give the boxing fans chance to see
for themselves his ability.
If this can he arranged La Fontaine
will have sullivan work out in public
at Tommy loves Gymnasium on Eighth
street. Arrangements are also being
mad with thC WaShin CtOn. Baltimore *

irons of the club better car service to

ccssful in this he will have "A large gath

PHILIP CARTER THE
NEW GOLFING STAR

Golfers are tOutinE the 1s-year-old
IhilIp Carter as the second Jerry
Travers"
He's a frail yOungster, this Carter.
yet he drives a ball further than 90
per cent of the men in the game: he
seems to be nothing hut a bundle of
bones and nerves, yet he Is cool, heady
and seemingly norvcless on the links.
Carter has made a better showing
this season than any golfer in the
world. He has won five tournaments
and one championship-the Junior
metropolitan. He competed in the
senior metropolitan and played in won
derful fashion. but was beaten in the
semi finals by the wonderful John An
dcrson in the twcnty-third hoIe-the
longest match ever played in a metro
politan championship.
Carter won the Greenwich CUP by
defeating Dudley Nudge. the Yale
student who previously had beaten
Max Marston and Francis Ouimet
Nudge only won one hole in the en-
tire match, and Carter scored an easy
victory. UP and to play.

CONDOLENCES.

John Adams was eight years older
than his successor, Thomas Jefferson;
Jefferson WIS eight years older than
James Madison: Madison was eight
years older than James Monroe; Mon
roe was eight years older than John
Quincy Adams.
Washington ended his presidential
term in the sixth-sixth year of his age;
and so also did John Adams, Thomas
Jefferson, James Madison and James
Monroe. Jefferson and Adams died the
same day-Fourth of July, 1S26-just
half a century after the Declaration of
Independence. Monroe died exactly
five years later-Fourth of July, 1881.
All the presidents of the United
States had blue eyes, except William
Henry Harrison. Roosevelt Is the only
president who wore spectacles con-

EYE STRAIN AT PICTURE SHOWS

"The great majority of those who
suffer from eye strain after watching
moving pictures" says the Journal Of
the American Medical Association, "can
find much, if not complete relief, in
perfectly fitted glasses. The picture
may not be quite so sharp, but this is
more than compensated for by the in
creased comfort. For those with very
sensitive eyes, colored glass, either
amber, yellowish green or amethyst,
may be necessary to give complete
relief. There have been put on the
market recently several varieties of
colored glass, each of which has some
advantages so that some suitable color
can usually be secured"
Referring to theatre lighting, this
Authority says: "A subdued light in
: the theatre is much less irritating than
when the only light visible comes from
the screen. 1t Is also advisable to
avoid sitting in a place where it is
necessary to look upward, as the ad
ditional strain becomes very tiresome
and leaves headache"
For time there was much discus
sion of the evil effects on the eyes
following constant attendance at NOV
ing picture shows and a great many
people with defective eyes have beer
unduly alarmed. 1t is gratifying tt
know that simple precautions will OBJ
Viate all discomforts and will not in
Iterfere with ones enjoyment of motor
pictures. The film makers have no
only provided entertainment Of the
most elaborate sort but many of the
subjects they present nowadays are
highly educative and of the class tina
one who wishes to keep in touch witt
the times cannot afford to miss.
