FREDDY Welsh, the worlds lightweight
champion, In action at the Maryland
Athletic and Social Club on George
Mashinston's Birthday against Tommy
Lowe. President James LaFontsiue and
Matchmaker Joseph Freeman will hike
over TO New York City tonight TO close
out arrangements with Harry Pollock,
manager Of the speedy lightweight.
Jerry Mccarthy, local manager Of
Tommy Lowe, attached his signature 20
the articles of agreement on Saturday
evening. The articles call for a ten
round no-decision battle with Pollock
welsh Company naming the referee and
also their own terms
The purse which President IsFontafne
has offered for this bout il the largest
that has ever been offered in this vicin-
ity. When interviewed last night Match
maker Freeman had the following to
say: Il am confident that We can close
the deal with Pollock, but I prefer "a
close the deal in person so that there will
not be any slip-up on the little details
that go with a match OF this kind. We
are offering Pollock one OF the Iarges,
purses ever handed out in this vicinity
and am sure we can make arrange,
ments."
Jimmy Clabby, who has been in the
ring with both Les Darcy and Mike
Gibbons. says he would hesitate 10
predict the winner II these two should
be matched.
Gibbons is one OF the best fighters
In the game" says Clabby. He can
hit with almost any sort of a punch
His straight left is like that of Rufe
Turner, the old Stockton california }
lightweight. He is the fastest man
on his feet / have ever met His best
punch is straight right to the jaw,
II he can reach his man with that
he gets him. He does mot finish his
man. as a rule, with one punch. but
takes several jaw-breskins cracks at
II until he stretches him on the mat
Mike is not a wonderful fighter, but
his foe pays too big a price getting
to close quarters. to want to get
there often.
Darcy is marvel is his own way
do not think he hits as well as Glib
bons, but he is not so nervous He
will stand up well in a long fight He
punches as hard for the body as he
does for the jaw. He is the equal OF
Gibbons a defensive fighter and
perhaps q stronger man at might

King Louis Ill of Bavaria, who has
thrown his lot with the Prussian lead
ers in the present European war and
sent his brave son Rupert, to lead the
Bavarian army at the front, is II years
old today. Some years ago Louis
caused diplomatic stir by asserting
the pride of his royal descent while at
tending a banquet. He resented being
alluded to as a member of the suite
of Prince Henry of Prussia, or con-
sidered a representative of a vassal
state. The incident took place at a
banquet in Russia, and it stirred all
Europe. King Louis was born at Mu-
mich, Bavaria, January Z, 1S45, and
succeeded his insane cousin, King Otto,
in 1913. The king married Archduch-
ess Maria Theresa of Australasia
who is regarded by the Jacobites of
England as the real queen for they
counted Queen Victoria as a usurper
The queen of Bavaria is a Stuart and
Grown Prince Rupert is sometimes
called the Prince of Wales. Crown
Prince Rupert of Bavaria is AZ years
old and is one of the kaiser's leading
generals. One of the most pitiful
phases Of the early days of the war
was the fighting between the Bava-
rians and Belgians. Queen Elizabeth
OF Belgium is Bavarian and she was
broken hearted when she saw her own
kinsfolk wrecking the country of her
adoption.

Joke On the Sheriff.

Stealey McMurtry, the popular high
sheriff of Hardin county, is raising 2
family. He has seven children AMI
the Oldest does not look to be over 10
years old AS some one remarked
they all look to be about the same size.
Last Sunday, as is his custom, he fill
ed his surrey with the children and
took them all to Sunday school When
the services were over he gathered
them all up, he thought, but there were
so many that he forgot one. He never
discovered that he had left one of the
chi1ren in the church until he got
home. When he started back he met
one of his friends bringing the forgot
ten little one. Around the courthouse
they are laughing a great deal at
Stealey and telling him that he has so
many children that he does not know
how many he has and that hereafter hn
will have to count them all before he
starts home.
