NO MATCHES FOR
RANGE PROBABLE
Government Probably Will Not
Withdraw Men From Duties
Along Border

Jacksonville, Sept. 13.-The an
nual rifle matches of the National
Rifle Association at the Florida State
range will, in all probability, not be
held this year, according to infor-
nation received from Washington,
because virtually all of the army reg
ulars and national guardsmen are
on the borders and in Mexico, from
where it will not be feasible to send
teams.
These matches are held for the
specific purposes of arousing keen
competition between teams from the
army, navy, marine corps, national
guard and various military acad-
emmies. While the War Depart
ment has reached no final decision,
officials think there is little likeli-
hood that any troops would be au-
thorized to attend.
Usually about 1000 soldiers of all
branches are in attendance, includ-
ing a regiment of infantry which is
needed to man the targets and act
as scorers.

further promises that he will do all
in his power that permanent roads
are not only built from the western
end of the county to Ardmore, and
through the so-called agricultural
belt, which is very indefinite, as
others have promised, but that all the
people of the county shall have good
and permanent roads. Should Mr..
Michael be elected, he will not be
so narrow and selfish as to look out
for good roads and public improve
ments in his district, but he proposes
and promises to look out for good
roads and Improvements throughout
the entire county, as that is the
work of the commissioners, not as
individuals, but as a body which has
to legislate and work for the entire
county. He also promises to see that
road overseers do their work prop
erly and according to law,-not for
gain and graft Mr. Michael is not
as old as his opponents, but he claims
to be more progressive and more ad-
yanced as to the needs of Carter
county than any of his opponents. His
knowledge of public work is more
general and practical than any man
in the race, he claims.
Finally, he proposes to give a part
of his time in this campaign to the
election of the democratic nominees,
both county, state and national
whether he wins or loses his nomina-
ton.

GOOD SHOW At
ATHLETIC CLUB
FRIDAY NIGHT
RAPID BOUT BETWEEN TUCKER
AND BIBB GOES TO FORMER IN
FOURTH ROUND AFTER PRETTY
EXHIBITION.

One of the best bouts ever staged
in Ardmore was put on here Friday
night between Lonnie Tucker and
! Jimmie Bibb The bout was fast and
furious throughout, and Tucker gave
splendid exhibition of the art of
| hit and get away. Lonnie Tucker
won in the fourth round of a sche-
duled fifteen-round bout when Jimmie
Bibb could no further continue. Both
boys were anxious to win last nights
go. The exhibition was marked with
some pretty work on both sides and
the crowd was well divided.
The first round was more of feel
| er, as they were trying to solve each
others style. Both boys were very
careful, and before the close of the
round, Tucker drove in few light
jabs.
The second was better still, as
there was action all the time, and
both boys were putting up their best
efforts.
The third round was corker,
for Bibb and Tucker were at one
another all the time.
The fourth round was repetition
of their third and 1t could be seen
that both boys were trying to give
their best efforts, and towards the
close of the round Bibb slipped to the
floor 1t could be plainly seen that he
could no longer continue. For ac-
ton, the bout was the best ever put
on here by the Ardmore Athletic
Club.
The main event was refereed by
Milo Gibbs and he gave good ac-
count of himself AL Edwards was
the referee in all the other bouts,
and he will give the Ardmore fans
good, clean, manly exhibitions.
The semi-fnal was between Black
Slick and tar baby by the name of
Graveyard. The Graveyard gave a
good account of himself for the first
round, but after that his supply of
gas gave way, and Slick had things
his own way, winning in the fifth
round. Sticks rapid and furious
work made the Graveyard weary.
The Young and Lambert exhibit
ton was corking good go. and it
certainly had the crowd on its feet.
The Caldwell and Townsend eXhi-
bition was marked with some pretty
I work, and the crowd enjoyed it.
Manager AL Edwards will open up
the new athletic club and gymnasium
within the next few weeks. The
gymnasium will have all the latest
apparatus and will be a training
quarters for all the boys. He has
secured Kid Fox of Dallas to oppose
Frankie Sanders here on the night OF
the 18th and from accounts of FoX's
work the fans will witness a clever
| exhibition. The Kid is fast and
| classy boxer and he will make Frank
| ie extend himself. Those who have
already seen Sanders work know
| that the Kid will have to show all
/ the class he has, for Sanders will
surely make him hustle one of the
biggest crowds ever present saw last
nights exhibition, and the fans en-
joyed the show. Everybody in the
garage applauded the work of the
! boxers.
