Local Veteran Meets Quaker
City Swatter in Fifteen
Rounds at Ardmore.
FIVE OTHER BOUTSLISTED

Following a lapse of nearly two months
which time Jimmie Lafontaine the local
night promoter. has taken the direct man
aSement Of affairs. the Maryland Athletic
nd Social Club will Did its first pro-
gam tonight. when Tommy Lowe the
Washington lightweight is scheduled to
meet Willie Houck. Of Philadelphia, In a
rfteen-round match at the Ardn,ore nght
arena. From the present outlook the
initial program of the club under its new
management Is by far the best ever held
in this city, and should the proper crowd
turn out to witness the fight It will only
be question of few months when the
Washington people can see the top
notchers in action
Tommy Lowe, who fights Houck in the
main attraction. Is now in the pink Of
condition. having worked hard through
out the past three weeks In preparation
of his well-known opponent and followed
such vigorous training because of his op-
ponents ability. Houck is by far tho
best Of the fighters who have ever bean
brought to this city to show before the
local fans. as he has a record of which
very few in the fight game today can
show. having fought Johnny Kilbane and
Sammy Robideau to a standstill In Pnila-
deiphia during the past winter
II goes without SAYING that any man
Nno Is capd Ole or outstanding the ter
Tible onslaught of Johnny Kilbane the
present feather-weight champion, is ca
pable OF holding his own In any ring in
the country, and when Tommy Lowe
steps into the ring tonight he will face
real fighter OF the first class. Follow
ing the publishing OF Houck's records.
the Washington fight fans have picked
him as the winner. and when he enters
the ring he will be favorite over the
Washington lightweight. Pat O-Connor
Will referee this bout, having been agreed
upon by the two fighters.
In the semi-windup Young Thomas Of
Washington. Is scheduled to meet Jim
mic Cummins. of Baltimore and the
Improvement shown by Thomas in his last
two fights stamps him as the probable
victor. as he carries a punch in both
hands and can stand a great deal Of
punishment Should Thomas come UP to
expectations he will be matched with
Kid Greek. the present feather weight
champion of the District. for the next
show. This bou.. is scheduled to go eight
rounds. but persons knowing the hitting
ability of both men think II is hardly
possible that it will go the limit
In the four prelirninaries Young Mon
tano will meet Young Nochs. while
Patsy Donovan meets Young Demmick in
the second match. Bull Mitchell and
Joe Blackburne hook up in the third
four-round go. while Abe wemberK. Of
Indian Head. meets Paul Day in the last
preliminary preceding the Thomas-Cur-
Minis bout. Kid Sullivan will refer the
preliminaries while Pat OConnor will
offciate in the main bout.

REVISE SCHEDULE IN
DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE

Treasury forfeited to War in the De-
partmental League yesterday because of
the inability of Manager McLarren to
place a full nine on the field. At the be-
ginning of the season the Treasury play
ers were touting their team as the best
in the city. but since that time. through
tough breaks and injuries. the team S
spirit has fallen away until now il seems
impossible to put nine men on the field
for a battle.
At the meeting of the league offlcials
yesterday a revised schedule was ar
ranged so that the Printers team will be
able to go to the Printers tournament
In the schedule it is found that the Print

An erroneous impression regarding the
status of Ray Morgan appears to nave
gone the rounds.
Morgan has not drawn one penny of
his salary since the time he was sus-
pended more than three weeks ago.
He was laid off for failure to keep in
condition and one week after ordered to
JOIN the club taking the trip from Bos-
ton to Chicago.
Morgan vas injured in Chicago and
sent home. His injury. according to
Manager Griffith. was due to poor
physical condition. and until he Is in
shape TO play ball he gets no salary.
