Tom nodded and turned away The
boys, with their sign, presently
trooped out. Tom waited a minute or
so longer, then left the store. He
came face to face with Marjorie who
was entering.
An uproar a half block below
brought them to an abrupt halt. They
turned to locate the turmoil. =
A hundred feet away, under the
glare of an electric light, a knot Of
six or seven people were engaged in
o decidedly lively tussle. One of the
group was a policeman. Tom, at .
glance, understood the situation.

siOns by referees are barred in New
York state SO the only way the title
can change hands is by a knockout.
Barring a knockout, the battle will go
by newspaper decision.
The bout is the first, for Willard
since he won the title from Jack
Johnson a year ago. He will get
SAT, 500. Moran will get $23,75O In
dicatiOns are Madison Square Gar
den will be packed to the limit and
the gate receipts will pass 100000.
The opinions of the experts:
PRO-WILLARDS.
Jess WiIIard-My physical condi-
ton is excellent, and the last weeks
training has shown that weight,
speed and punch are all just what I
wish.
James J. Corbett- Willard will win.
He has the weight, strength and
reach. There's generally some sort
of a chance for the other man, but
Moran's is mighty slim.
Bob Fitzsimmons-Mor has prac-
ticaIly no chance. Look at Wizards
reach, his 24O pounds and his abil-
ity to take punishment. Where is the
heavyweight who can overcome
them?
William Muldoon-LOOking at Will
lard and Moran from a trainers view
point, 1 find there is not much choice
between them. Moran may overcome
Wizards extra three and a half
inches of height, his greater weight
and long reach by more scientific
fighting, but do not believe he will.
Mike DonoVan-Give Moran ten
rounds or As and he hasn't a chance
either way. Willard looks as fast as
a lightweight, and I say this as I'M
defeated middleweight champion.
Walter Monahan - If anybody
ought to know what is going to hap
pen to Moran am the man. AS Viii
Iard's sparTing partner know what
he has. Moran is up against an in
Yincible proposition.

man to pick Willard as the coming
champion, and 1 pick him as the
champion to continue.
Jim Jeffries- Willard is a great
champion. Moran is not the man to
take the title fort him at this time.
PRo-MoRANS.
Frank Moran-This fight is the
greatest opportunity of my career,
and l have worked seven years for
it. When I enter the ring the deter
mination to beat Willard will con-
tinUe with me.
Tom Sharkey-Size and weight
are not everything. A man weighing
100 pounds is big enough to lick any
man, if he has the head and the right
sort of punch. Moran has them.
Jim Coffroth-If Frank goes into
the ring just as he would against any
fighter who hasn't been talked about,
and especially if he forgets this much
talked of difference in their weights,
heights and reaches, he will win.
Tommy Burns-MOran is a real
strategist, and his generalship can
put a ring around Wizards height,
weight and reach.
Willie LeWis-As Moran's trainer
1 can say have had the honor of
training the new champion. Frank
is a thinker and he was the punches.
He will knock out Willard.
Jim Coffey-Moran will be there,
because he showed himself a better
man than was in the ring.
Bob Armstrong; Willard is a nice
big mark for MOran's right, and just
as big a one for his left. If Moran
puts UP the fight he did against Jack
Johnson we will hail him champion.
Albert Badoud-As welterweight
champion of Europe 1 say that the
title is not always to the biggest. Mo-
ran ought to win.
Al Reich-A man with as faint a
heart as Willard has at this stage will
not beat Moran.

YOM K|PPUR IS

1T is THE MOST SOLEMN DAY IN
THE ENTIRE JEWISH
CALENDAR.

The Day of AttOnement of "Yom

of Tishri begins at sunset Friday

The thought underlying the day is
expressed in the scriptural words,
"On this day He will atone for you,
to purify you from all your sins" "
It is a day, therefore, of reconcile
alton Of man with his fellow man
and with God. and comes as eli

continued through the ten days OF

If ordinary people, who had been
neither completely righteus nor utter
w sinful, was left undecided and the
opportunity was given them for repen-
tance: now the Day of Attonement

The day is the most solemn of All
laws in the Jewish calendar. 1t is
passed in fasting and prayer. The
whole day is spent in the synagoge
IN the evening there is the service
which commences with the chanting
If the wellknown Kol Nidre prayer.
The day proper has four services.
Of these the Mussal or additional
service contains a description of the

According to Jewish tradition eX
pressed in an ancient lawbook, tf
Day of Attonement, when spent in
Drawing and repenting, will bring
pardon for sins between man and
God, butts as fer the sins committed
5y man against his fellow man the
lay cannot bring pardon until he
has appeased his fellow man. This
idea is the basis of the effort al
WAYS made before the Day of Atone

friends who have become estranged
and are on unfriendly terms with
one another; and in this way the
day will put the worshipper at peace
not only with his Maker, but also

CIDER SOLO HERE
MOST TOO STRONG
MAYOR HOPKINS iNsTRUCTS THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT TO IN
VESTlGATE THE MATTER

Mayor j. Hunter Hopkins thinks
there is entirely too many sticks" in
the cider being sold in various parts
Of the city and he has instructed the
police department to make a rigid
examination and sec just what the
matter with the fluid which seems to
have such a peculiar effect on such a
large number OF people. Within the
past few weeks the mayor has any
and all kinds of drunks before him
from "looker on n Vienna" these
and nine out CT every dozen swear
it's cider and, to tell you the truth,
negroes-some whites toc--seem to
be telling the truth because events
prove this conclusively and the may
or. who, by the way, has proven him
self equal to any and all occasions,
will find a way to, at least curtail the
output of the wholesale cider pople,
which means the retailer and the CON
sumer will be cut down to a consider
able extent.
The mayer says some tigers" are
, still doing business and he is to use
, effort to stop this. 1t is generally
known that liquor sellers are, most
of them across the railroad, and it IS
| hard matter &c locate them. The
eye of the department is on three or
| four, not all negroes, and arrests are
liable to occur at any minute.

MAYOR IS AFTER
LAW V|OlATQRS
RIGIDLY ENFOCED IN HOPE OF
PREVENTING ACCIDENTS.

There is no reason in the world for
the persistent violation of the traffic
ordinance and Mayor Hopkins is very
emphatic in his determination to put
an end to it and at once.
By fast driving and no light an ac-
cident was narrowly averted at the
cornor of Monk and Newcastle streets
last night some minutes after seven
o'clock and if those who drive cars
will persist in breaking the law they
may expect heavy fines because the
mayor has made up his mind to stop
it and stop it at once.
Last Saturday six people in Geor-
gia and Florida lost their lives by
reckless driving, three of age and
three children. In Tampa a little
girl was crushed beneath the wheels
of truck when the latter, it appears,
was exceeding the speed limit. Some
accidents resulted fatally in Georgia
to say nothing of the many where
death was narrowly averted, in some
cases the victims were left cripples
for the remainder of their lives. In a
South Carolina town a white man was
badly handled for running over and
instantly killing well known and
highly respected business man.
The police department has received
strict orders to arrest violators OF
traffic ordinance and they will obey
these orders. The motor cycle will
be ordered soon for the catching OF
speed violators and the first one
caught, it is thought, will get fine so
heavy that it will make his pocket re
semble a linen duster in a snow
storm.
