Four Star Bouts
In Newark ArmOry
Tomorrow Night

Boxing, along with football, now
takes the centre of the stage in sports.
The next really big boxinr show is the
all-star card arranged by Dave Mackay
manager of the Newark Sportsmen's
Club, for tomorrow night in the 1st
Regiment Armory in Newark.
A galaxy of pugilistic stars will
furnish the four feature bouts. First
there is Al Roberts, of Staten Island
the latest sensation among the heavy
weights. Although Al has been in the
game less than a year he has knocked
out seventeen of the nineteen men
who have faced him. The two who
withstood his punches for the limit are
Johnny Saxon and Charlie Weinert
both of Newark. Tomorrow night
Roberts again meets Weinert.
"1t's my ambition to have record
OF knocking out every man l meet
said Roberts last night. "If I don't
do it the first time Pm going to keep
after the fellow till finally get him.
Benny Vulgar, the Brooklyn feather
weight, and frankie Brown, of Phila-
delphia, will meet in the second eight
round bout. Brown scored clean
knockdown over Johnny Kilbane and
expects to stop Vulgar. Willie Jack
son, another knockout star, and Tommy
Touhey, of Philadelphia, will meet in
the third bout of the night. Willie
last week stopped Eddie Morgan in
Philadelphia.
The final bout will bring together
Pete Herman, bantamweight champion
of the world, and Harold Faresc. a
coming star of Newark. Farese has
beaten all the best men in his class
and for the last year has been forced
to meet featherweights and light
weights. This is his big chance, and
he will take every legitimate chance
in order to score q Knockout.

floated over the dome of the national
capitol during the inaugural cere-
monies of March 5, 1917, and which
was flown again when the president
delivered his war address to congress-
April ., 1917. has been presented to

cording TO adviceS from Washington,
the flag will be awarded as a perma-
nent souvenir to the state which at

the capitol when the armisice was
signed.
Commenting on the possibility of
New Mexico being successful in win
ming this trophy Mrs. Earl George,
state chairman for the eleventh fed
eral reserve district of New Mexico,
said:
I'm the Fourth Loan there was no
state in the Eleventh federal reserve
district except New Mexico, that went
over more than Is per cent, while
New Mexico went over 81 per cent.
In the Fourth Loan the women of
New Mexico sold 81 y per cent of all
bonds sold and | am very sure that
we are going to do equally well in the
coming drive. Because the women
of the nation realize that the money
from the Victory Loan Will be used to
pay the bill for the munitions which
sped the end of the world, war and
saved the lives of at least 100O of
our boys, they stand ready and willing
to give of their time and their means
to help put the Victory Loan over the
top.
I'VE have shown our patriotism in
the past and we cannot afford to fall
short now. l think most of the people
realize that. We must pay for peace
the same as We paid for war"

Alvarado hotel as soon as the present
unsettled conditions of the markets

The fame of the Alvarado extends not
only throughout the United States, but
into foreign countries as well, and is
immensely popular among the tour
lists. The proposed additions, it is UNI

there is abundant land surrounding
the building to accommodate quite an
