thing up before the police got into
the situation.
1t Is not known whether this par
ticuiar automobile had very legi-
innate business along there just at
that time, but it is known that a
great many owners and drivers of
attitude regarding the matter of
driving up and down Queen street
during market hours Saturday night.
They seem to wish it understood
That, as the streets are free for all,
they propose to use them with

ditions are. and that it's nobody's
Business how often they endanger
themselves and others by this prac-
fIce of driving up and down Queen

the women who insist upon their
right to push their baby carriages
up and down through the market

tiers" who use it as a promenade.

One Wallop Will Do 1t
Is Frank Moran's Dope;~
Ten-Round Bout Tonight

New v"~'5, Jan. 1S.-Mary Ann is
start - now through a brand new
course of training. Frank Moran is
getting the old punch warmed up
Tor a bust at Fred Fulton's chances
for a match with Champion Willard.
After Fulton has taken a 10-round
performance with Billy Miske into
his system tonight at st. Paul, Full
ton and Moran, the two outstanding
heavies just now, will go to New Or
leans and have it all over with.
Nerves had better be left behind
when Fulton walks into the ring with
Moran, for one good solid crack
from the right hand of the veteran
Pittsburgher will be sufficient to
put Fred out of all consideration
for a championship match just at
present.
AIiske has little chance of worry
ing the big plasterer. In these days
the remark Bob FitZsimmons made
some years ago to the effect that
the bigger they are the harder they
fall means only a bunch of words.
That is. to consider it as applying to
Fred Fulton. Fulton is too big and
too clever for Miske.
Charley Weinert is splendid man
of his pounds. But he lasted very
briefly when pitted against Fulton.
The match now appears as If it
would cause a lot of interest in the
coming bout between Moran and
Fulton.
