Today Knockout Brown, New
York's crack little southpaw light
weight, and Tommy Lowe, Washing
toms aged and crafty veteran of the
squared circle, clash in fifteen
round battle at the new Ardmore
club to determine the lightweight
championship of the South. Today,
after some Of the fans had taken a
slant at the stocky little lefthander
from the big town, the odds shifted
slightly to Browns favor, though
there has been little wagering.
The opening of the new club house
at Ardmore will be celebrated this
afternoon with the best attractions
ever offered Washington fight fans.
All choice tickets We're reported sold
out this morning, though there might
be still few available to turn up at
the last minute. The outlook is for a
capacity house to see these two ster-
ling lightweights get together.
Lowe is a good boy, guess. though
] never faced him. said kayo Brown
today. 'However. I've been going along
pretty good lately. and I'm not worry
ing in the least. I have my speed and
my old left hand punch. II Lowe can
stand up under that-well, I'll take my
hat off to him. 1t ought to be a good
bout. anyway"
Brown may he all right but he's
IN for a real argument today" said
Tommy Lowe. Mike Martin seems
satisfied with my physical condition. I
am satisfied with everything else.

be able to keep Brown travelling. good

"Well," observed Mrs. Williams after
thoughtful pause, there's only one

She glanced toward the two gentle
men.

Thus in the early twilight the now

Nothing disturbed the twilight hush
But by means Of ladder brought

the dim outlines Of three quiet figures,
the third being that of small dog.
The two boys rose upon command,
descended the ladder after Mr.. Scho-

stood before the authors of their be-

threatening brows. With hanging heads
and respondent countenances, each still
trnamented with mustache and an
imperial, Penrod and Sam awaited
sentence.

anything whatever, may afterward
turn out to have been a crime-he new

And punishment and clemency are
alike inexplicable

said his father sternly.
About fifteen minutes later Penrod,
hurriedly entering the corner drug
store, two blocks distant, was aston

the soda counter
"Yay, Penrod," said Sam Williams,

didn't lick me. He didn't do anything
