the curb line in front has been fixed far
enough from the lot line to permit, trees
should be set outside the walk. On
residence streets the curb should be at
ieast fifteen feet from the lot line.
This allows parking outside the side

Trees afford the greatest possible EN-

towering and ornamental shrubs should
be artistically placed about the premises.

such a plan, in few years our town

SNYDER BOOSTED AS
RIVAL FOR WHITE
Chicago Fans Uncover New
Sensation in Boxing
World

Chicago, January 9.-(Specal.)-Mik
Snyder is the name of a new lightweight
sensation that Chicago fight fans are
boosting as a sure rival of Charlie White,
the Windy City idol.
This Snyder boy is without a doubt a
great little fighter and well merits all
the good things that are being said about
him. He is practically a new conner to
the professional ranks, having battled his
way through the amateurs and winning
the championship medal in the 1912 tour
nament at Cleveland, o.
Since his advent into pro company,
the youngster has had just six real con-
tests of 10 rounds each. But the men
he was hooked up with We're of such
classy calibre, and he trimmed them all
in such decisive and clean cut style that
i. has stamped him as a coming contender
for the lightweight title.
The men he has met and defeated are
Freddy Andrews Of milwaukee,; Jimmy
Travers, sparring partner of Joe Mandot
and rated as one of the cleverest boxers
IN the business; Joe O'Keefe, Phila-
dclphia product of quite reputation,
Mickey Galager and Goats" Doig, the
Spring Valley wonder whom he met and
beat twice. O'Keefe and Gallager he
beat by the knockout route, and the 9TH

but differs from his noted rival in one
important way. He does no stalling, but
fights continuously from bell to bell. with
very little clinchng. He is not of the
smuggling effect. His favorite blows are
straight lefts. followed by short right
crosses that travel but about six inches
with terrific force. Occasionally he
varies this style with short left hook

sharpshooting department was the class of
the circuit. and the record which it set
during the last Southern invasion of the
1918 season will long be remembered.
Last year all three southpaws were

The game yesterday was fast and hard
fought throughout. Cardiff kept the

time during the first half, but in the sec-
ond half Ensley came back strong and
rushed the Cardiff boys of. their feet
scoring four goals
The game started by Cardiff kicking of
to Ensley and the ball was carried down
the field toward Ensley's goal. Time and
again Cardiff tried to kick goal and near

A SOCCER GAME.

Gee, That was some game,
one of the prolotaire sprung that
enrichingly original statement ON us
yesterday afternoon at the conclusion
of the highly diverting game of soccer
football, between the clans of Car
diff and Ensley, at Fleetwood Field.
Consequently not knowing anything
about the game, ever and anon, we
agreed with the brawny rolling mill
hand, and let it go at that. AS for
the score of the affair, kindly con-
suit the account of the youthful ex-
pert who superseded us at a critical
5uncture. 1t appears that our story
of the game did not meet the CEN
serious approval of the censor.
1t was unfortunate, of us to have
evaded the ineluctable intricacies of
soccer football in the balmy days
of our youthful abandon, as 1t fell to
Our lot yesterday afternoon to be
chosen to cover the championship
battle at Redwood Field, for the en-
lightened readers of the intermittent
sporting pages of this delectable jour-
nal.
The edict of the censor was:
Beat it to Fleetwood and cover that
game of soccer. Get all the technical
details" oh, censor!
Off to Fleetwood we were. A friend

past days, and past cheers when Pete

but we digress. Without unseemly
difficulty we secured seat with an
excellent view of the Kaleidoscope
fracas which apparently was In rig
orous progress on our entrance to the
scene of activities. We began jotting
down notes of what was going on, at
least of what we thought was go

First we noted the sartorial vest

BOXING UNDER
STATE REGULATION
HAS BEEN SUCCESS

Milwaukee, January 9.-Boxing in Wis
consin under state regulation has been
a success. and the commonwealth has
profited more than $4,000 according to a
report today of the athletic commission.
1t says in part:
There was more or less opposition to
the commission when it was created by
those opposed to boxing. but wise and
careful administration of the law and total
elimination of the evil features of the old
time prize ring has won thousands of
friends for the game. ,
I'm fact, legalized boxing has met with
statewide approval. The general public
interest in the sport is reflected in the
fact that during the period covered by this
report, including only one full winter sea-
son, nearly 10000 persons have attended
boxing exhibitions and have paid for ad-
mission nearly s250.0G0 The commission
has been most stringent in enforcing the
law, and there have been very few viola
lions. In only one instance was boxer
accused of shamming He was immedi-
ately given a hearing and upon being
found guilty was barred from boxing in
the state for one year"
Since its creation the commission has
licensed "a clubs, revoked three licenses
and refused one.
