the game. Moran also has a S2500 forfeit
up, but that, too, was presented to him by

who will be "stung'' IL the sidestepping is

O'Brien vs.. Revoire
Philadelphia Jawn OBrien will send
Brother Jack against Eddie Revore in
Norristown next Tuesday night, over the
15-round route. Brother Jack will allow
his opponent at least 10 pounds advantage
In weight, but he is anxious to keep busy
and show the public that he can take them
on regardless of their avoirdupois.
O'Brien's victory over Henry Hauber last
week helped him considerably and win
over Revoire is expected TO make the other
boxers sit up and take notice.
Jack Carroll the heavyweight who fiat
tened Lew Fink, will appear against
three unknowns in the same show. 1t will
be n real tryout for Jawn's new hope"
and If he makes good Jawn intends to
send him against some of the regular
heavyweights In the big town.

WOman's Club Considers Offer

! In spite of the Indictment weather and
the prevailing distemper there was fair
attendance at the meeting of the Wo-
mans Club Monday evening, at which
time Prin. j. Thatcher Sears addressed
the members His topic was Current
Events and Their Connection With His
tory and his lecture was thoughtful
and interesting discussion of the causes
underlying the great struggle now going
on across the water. With the help of
map he gave the present war it's proper
setting in the sweep of the history of the
past centuries. 1t is a matter of regret
that more could not have been present to
hear this clear presentation of facts in re-
gard to the most interesting question of
the day.
During the business hour G. f. Smiths
offer of Dorchester Heights for hospital
was brought up for discussion. Feeling
no action could be taken until they had
more definite knowledge of the cost of
purchasing and equipping such All insti-
tuition, the Club empowered the Pres-
dent to appoint a committee to gather
the necessary data in regard to the plan.
