in the arena OF the Fifth cavalry next
Tuesday night You are entitled TO
your guess. too. and Will probably
come as close TO the mark as the

Fifth cavalry.
where Does He Get ItR
As FOR Charlie Short claiming the
lightweight championship and defend
ing the title, Tommy Murphy at pres
ent is better entitled TO Il than Short
for he has fought more local fights
than Short and won all OF them Short
spent some two OF three months side
stepping matches with Joe Kale, who
IS the bona fide holder OF the light
weight title OF the border. when good
purses were offered for the match

he signed 10 meet Murphy. Just why
