PROMOTER TOM CHAMBERS STAGES TWO FAST
L|GHTWE|GHTS FOR TEN ROUND BOUT IN ELY

The boxing fans of this district
will enjoy the greatest feast of their
lives next Saturday night at Bio
hall. when Jack Bratton of Denver
will face Young Azevedo of San
Francisco In ten-round bout
that will set at rest the disputed
question of which of these two mar
vels of the game are entitled to the
championship of the western coun-
try In their class.
BY way OF a sharpener for the ap-
petite the battle will be preceded by
a special six-round event between
Yankee Rue and Mickey O'Brien. and
either OF the events scheduled should
be worth three times the price of ad-
mission to be charged for the big
show.
As to Bratton and Azevedo nothing
need be said. Their reputation is
known from coast to coast, and VII
many efforts have been made by
other promoters OF the game to bring
the two boys together in the large
cities. II remained for Tom Chambers
to. accomplish the trick.
Both boys will make 1872 pounds
on the day of the battle. 1t Is gen.
orally conceded that no two boxers
could be more evenly matched or In
better shape to put up one OF the
fastest and most scientific battles
ever witnessed, and one that will go
down In history.
Both boys are now on the ground
and during the week they will be
seen at work in Bio hall on Monday
and Tuesday evenings; at McGill on
Wednesday afternoon, and on Thurs
day the fans OF Ruth will be given
an opportunity to see the two stars
in action and try to pick the winner
II such be possible before the end
Of the bout.
Many a man has travelled across
the continent and perhaps across the
waves to witness prize ring battle
by no means so attractive or enter
tanning as this match promises to be.
Iyhen viewing the long list of vie
tories which. the respective contest
-.
ants have to their credit,..' cant
only conclude that It is "even money
take your pick. Both enjoy, the
distinction OF having disposed of
Benny Chavez in the first round. and
this is sufficient warrant OF an In

NEW AND CENTRALLY
LOCATED QUARTERS
FOR FREE LIBRARY


The. library committee Of the
Woman's Club Of Ely. consisting of
Mrs. J. H. Gallagher. Mrs. N. W.
Fay aud Mrs. A. B. Lightfoot, has
finally succeeded In getting all ar
rangements made for the opening of
the library In the Ely Light and
Power building on Clark street
The books we're moved this week
from the county high school and ey-
erything is being put in shape for
regular occupancy of the new quar-
ters. The two front rooms are sep
arated by folding doors which make
1t possible to use the rooms for club
purposes. The rooms in the rear of
the building have been refitted and
put in condition for rental, leaving
the two front rooms and a side room
for use as public library. The side
room will be furnished as a women's
rest room and will be a most desir-
able feature for those who
have TO wait for trains or have
the need of some place in which to
rest.
About two hundred dollars worth
OF new books have been ordered for
the library. and about two hundred
books have been donated II Is
hoped that further donations of
books will be made in the near fu-
ture in order to supplement the list
OF books available for general read
ing. The library IL now particularly
short In historical and books of ref
erence, most Of these having been
the property Of the White Pine coun-
ty high school library Funds for
the further purchase of books are not
now available, but the Nevada Con
solidated Copper company has come
forth with the contribution Of i've
hundred dollars, two hundred oi
which has already been expended for
books, and the balance will be forth
coming in the near future. The
board OF county commissioners ap-
portioned five hundred dollars for
library purposes. two hundred and
so OF which has been used in getting
the quarters In shape for occupancy
and the balance will be available
about the first OF June.
Miss Dorothy Parker, who has
been the paid librarian during the
past year, will continue to act as Ii
brarian in the new location.
The new quarters will be especially
favorable for those who live ont of
town. They Will afford a place for
waiting supplied with reading mat
ter and other conveniences and will
doubtless be largely patronized
Books of the library are let out free
to the residents of the county and as
the suppy increases the patronage Of
the library should grow rapidly.
