greatly interested, the MOTdn-WuIdTQ
fight has been postponed. Plans now |
are for the two big men to meet |
March 25 in New York, but this also |
is subject to revision if Jess cold does |
not improve.
The champion is very sick man,
take it from his manager, Tom Jones,
the only one. outside his family who is |
allowed near the royal bedchamber. !
No physicians have so far been inter- |
viewed. Criticism of Jess has been |
so harsh here in Chicago, and jangles
so on the finely-strung nervous sys-
TEN of the champion, that he will be |
taken to New York as soon as he is
strong enough to travel.
Jones doesn't want Jess training out |
of his sight, and Tom must be in New
York.. of course, to watch the money
roll in. Jess got sick as soon as he |
was left alone this time, and Tom !
doesn't want to risk a replase.
Tex Richard agreed to the contin-
ance, there being nothing else to do |
but call off the fight, and March 25 |
was the only other date open. Mad
ison Square Garden, according to
Jones, has been arranged so it will
seat $4,000 spectators, and a packed |
house would mean $145, 800, still &C
cording to Tom. And he adds that
every $25 seat has already been sold.
Moran, notified of Wizards Illness,
refused to take Jess forfeit money,
as he had right to do, according to
L i L.
to take advantage of sick man. If
Frank tried to take that coin there
would be large howl arise from the
Willard end, for they figure Frank is
lucky to be getting a crack at the |
champion at all, with the $4,000 that |
will be his share.
And he is, for the purse is larger
than that usually staked to cham
pions, much less challengers.

Archer and Fischer in harness, he
would not have had so much to do,
and Wilson is the kind of man who
needs active service to be at his best
With the departure of Wilson, Tink-
er now has only 26 men under con-
tract, and the entire bunch will be
taken south. A reduction of five will

Archer will be first string catcher

relief work. Bill is young man, de-
veloping rapidly, and smashing bat

the Cubs are facing first-class right
handed pitcher.
Final arrangements have been
made for the sale of the Cleveland
team of the American League to Chi
cagoans, and the money will be paid
over within. ten days. This comes
from Ban Johnson and the head of

purchase.

LOCAL EXPOSITION
Commercial Club to Display In.
dustrial Products of St.
JOhnsbury.

During the last three weeks a com
mittee of the Commercial club has
been steadily working on plans for an
industrial exposition. The exposition
is to be held in the Pillsbury- Baldwin
building and is to cover approximate
ly 10000 50. ft. of floor space
The exhibits are to consist of prod
ucts manufactured or sold in St.
Johnsbury. It is proposed to show the
people of this community and other
communities the advantages that st.
Johnsbury possesses from a trading
and manufacturing standpoint. The
exposition will be instructive, in that
it will open the eyes of everybody to
the advantages that the community
possesses commercially and indus
trially. 1t will be profitable in that it
is the best business proposition that
an exhibitor can get, for with small
expense he can come in direct contact
not only with his own customers but
with the customers of every other ex-
hibitor. He can demonstrate his
goods and build up trade relations with
people whom under other conditions
he would be unable to get in contact
with.
The Commercial club believes that
not only is this good constructive ad-
vertising, but is an opportunity for st.
Johnsbury to make good its claim to
being the Hub Of Northern New Eng
land" 1t believes that this is the best
way to advertise the Pillsbury-Bald-
win building to a prospective occu-
pant; it believes that in this way it
can instill a proper civic pride in the
people of st. Johnsbury; and lastly, it
believes that this is one way in which
the business people can cooperate in
working for the increased prosperity
of st. Johnsbury.
