THREE BAT TIES
 IN SEVEN DAYS
 FUR ]. NEYE ER

Johnny Meyer, Bisbee welterweight who has never been beaten. is about to achieve. foS tie second time in his career. the unusual feat of battling in three different bouts within the space of a single week.
 Last night arrangements were made with Meyer here by Art Shannon, Tucson promoter, to meet Al Me Manus in a ten round main event in the Old Pueblo on the night of We'd nesday, December 31. Meyer is also signed for a six round semi-final with Ralph De Motte on the after noon of New Years Day in Douglas, and has in prospect main event ten round bout with Chet Neff Tn Ajo on January 6.
 Some months ago Meyer participat- ed in three bouts within a week. and won every one of them. He hopes to repeat this unique record on this occasion.
 The Bisbee welter will meet Me Manus in Elysian Grove, on the night following the meeting of Kid Palmer and Happy Woods in the armory in the same city of Tucson. He regards the match as an import ant one, and is determined to knock McManus out, as such a feat will be a considerable feather in his cap, owing to the fact that McManus has been appearing in main events in various IRrts of Arizona during the greater part of the year now ending.
 Meyer figures that he has the edge on McManus, as McManus fought a draw with Pena in Ray on Christ mas Day, while Meyer whipped Pena soundly in six rounds in Tucson on Halloween night, and declares that had the bout gone one more round he would have knocked out his man. McManus has also fought draws with Ralph de Motte and Chet Neff.
 Meyer believes that he will be in perfect shape, after his fight with McManus, to take on Ralph de. Motte in Douglas the following day, but has arranged with the Douglas promoters, in the event. of his getting hurt, to substitute Johnny Hughes of this city as de Motte's opponent.

 the Pacific Coast

If he succeeds in disposing of Jack Rooney in his ten-round bout here on January s, Walter Caldwell the New Mexico middleweight, Is headed for the Pacific Coast, where he hopes to meet the best men in his division in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Port. land.
 Fred (Kid) George, manager of Coldwell, believes he has a coming world-beater in the New Mexico lad who has not yet reached his twenty first birthday. George, in his day was one of the best middleweightsNin the United States, fought the last fight of his long career with Cald- well in this city, losing the decision after ten rounds of fighting. He be. came Caldwell's manager immediate ly after this bout, when he announce ed his own retirement from the ring.
 George has also taken under his management Bob Collins, the Bisbee heavyweight, whom he will take to the coast with Caldwell. He plans to leave with his two proteges about January 25, with Los Angeles as his first stop. After several matches for both of his boxers there, he will con- tinue with them to San Francisco, where interest in the four round game is at present keen, and where top notchers are plentiful. He hopes to work both Caldwell and Collins to the top. From the exposition city he will accompany them to Portland.

ROONEY STARTS l. TRAINING. FUR
 CALDWELL BOUT

Backed by formidable record in Pacific coast boxing circles from Port land to Los Angeles, Jack Rooney has started his training in Bisbee for his ten-round bout with Walter Caldwell, the New Mexico middleweight, in the Opera house on the night of Thurs day, January 8.
 Rooney carries the title of Pacific coast middleWeight champion, but calls attention to the fact that there are other claimants, including Cliff Jordan, with whom he fought a four round draw in Los Angeles early in the present month. Rooney has fought the best men at his weight 158 pounds-up and down the Pacific coast, and has never been knocked out After several victories in Port land, he set a record of eleven straight wins, nine of them by the knockout route, in Eureka. Calif. His draw with Cliff Jordan was his last fight before coming to Bisbee to take on Caldwell.
 Caldwell is now in Albuquerque, where he meets Denver Jack O'Brien in 15-round bout which he is confi- dent of winning, on New Years day He will return here on January 2, and work out daily until the date of his bout with Jordan.
 A classy boxer vii make his bow to Bisbee fans in Dick Cote of Los An gees, who is matched to meet Kid Bruno in one of the preliminaries on the January 8 card. Cote defeated Al Kilcarin, the bantamweight cham pion of Canada, in recent bout at Long Beach. He also fought Joe Ca peli and Ted Lavigne.

Amendments Want Sex Clause

(sY HERBERT FELkEL).

Tallahassee, April "A measure that
is going to be hard fought and attract
more than passing interest is the bill
providing for amending the primary
election laws So that the right of suf-
frage will be extended to all citizens
Of Florida over twenty one years of
age, regardless Of SEX.
II such a law can be enacted, the
suffragists claim. they will have a
club to hold over the heads OF the
United States senators and members
Of congress from Florida with which
to force them to vote for submission
of federal constitutional aSnendment
granting women of America the ball
lot, the national fight having been
by no means abandoned by the women
of Florida or any other state.
Encouraged by the success of the
prohibition amendment to the United
States constitution. sufrragists will
continue to exert their efforts in that
direction. A state constitutional
providing for woman suf

resolution seeking to submit the prop

IMPORTANT LINK
IN SPANISH TRAIL,
State and Federal Aid Will Be
Asked in MOvement-Struc-
tural Work Would Re-
quire Two Years.

The Gulf Ports Terminal Railway
Company has offered for considera-
tion OF the Alabama Highway Com
mission, TO design and build a trestle
across the head of Mobile bay, a dis
tance of approximately eight miles so
that all mechanically propelled vehi-
cies may be transported across the bay
into the city of Mobile, and from Mo-
bile to this section
A prominent business man Of Pensa-
cola, in speaking Of this proposition,
said: To me, this seems an inter-
esting proposition to Pensacola and
Northwest Florida. The distance be-
tween Pensacola and Mobile is about
sixty miles. but at present there is no
way to make this trip over this route,
owing to the face that there is no
feasible way to cross Mobile Bay.
The Plan Of the Gulf Ports Termi-
nal Railway Company. would cut the
time consumed in crossing Mobile Bay
from nearly three hours to thirty min
utes. The last time I went over this
route to Mobile it took us nearly three
hours to cross the bay; 1 believe we
had to pay $3.50 to have our automo-
bile taken across. In other words, 1t
is impractical to make the trip in this
way.
1T Is the idea of the promoters that
1t will require approximately two
years for them to build the trestle, and
as soon as it Is completed. trains will
make the trip each way every thirty
minutes. During the time the trestie
is being built, car ferry barges will
make three trips each way daily, thus
accommodating the traffic in a some
what imperfect way. but far better
than is possible now.
1T is proposed that the cost per mile
per passenger be fixed by the State
Railroad Commission of Alabama, not
to exceed three cents per mile. and
the regular tariff rates on freight also
be fixed by the state.
This is, strictly speaking. an Ala
bama proposition, since the proposed
trestle will connect Baldwin county,
Alabama, and Mobile county. Alabama,
but it will open up this route to all OF
West Florida. From Mobile west. the
roads are fairly good. but there is said
to be only one little ferry.
1.-The Florida Highway Commission
will be asked TO aid in securing what
ever federal assistance will be neces-
sary, in making this link in the Old
Spanish Trail"
