MAUD POWELL SCORES GENUINE s.e s
TRIUMPH IN BISMARCK CONCERT

Serene III the triumph of her mag
netic art, and graciously chatting with
her huge audience regarding the mum.
bers she played, Maud Powell last
evening redeemed Bismarck from its
uiserace OF few years ago when it
greeted this great violinist with a
mere bakers dozen. The capacity
mouse which received Madam Powell
last evening was not only tribute to
ner genius but as,triumph for the
Thursday Musical club, which had the
courage to dare the Impossible.
The difference between a house
which legend says contained Just $35
and a house which must have gone
$1,000 or better is the change which
the Thursday Musical club has
wrought in the artistic atmosphere OF
the capital city and its countryside.
Someone had forgotten the pro
grams last evening. 1t was a for
tunate omission, for it gave Madam
Powell more opportunity to visit with
her audience. If fate had not cast
Maud Powell for great violinist, she
no doubt would have become another
Ellen Terry or a Henrietta Grosman
She has wonderful stage presence;
her wit is spontaneous and efferves
cent, her perceptions keen and sym
pathetic to a superlative degree.
Madam Powell opened her program
with crisp, tingling movement from
Mozart's concerto in A major, after
explaining that Mozart existed before
Prussianism, became world bane
and that the world had no war with
art. no matter what it's nationality
She noted the fact that the Orchestra
Symphonique of Paris In it's first con
cert after the armistice was signed op
ened with MOzart's concerto in A ma
jor. '%.E
~, Then there were, two. movements
from a sonata in G major done by
Leku, a young Belgian composer, who
had given, the world work of great
promise before he died at the age o1
22. Including Walloon folk song
and something of the dignity and ma
jesty which We have come to associate
with. this noble people, the audience
found Lekus sonata especially inter
esting. There seemed to wall from
the viOlins quavering strings the
agony. and the passion and the tri
umph which have since August, 1914
set Belgium apart from and above all
the other nations of the world.

Before Gaucho had turned to obey,
before Stanway's echoing words sank
into silence, there came from beyond
the door an exclamation of terror, a
sudden cry, and the reverberating
crack of revolver.
Then brief silence again for a mo.

of two axes, ripping and tearing at the
oak planks Of the door.

ended almost as soon as it began.
But some sound of the brief scuf1e

of the oak door. Before the rest of
the vaqueros could crowd into the lit

open, a dark, bearded face showed at
the crack.
There was snarled curse, the door

But, even to the attack of the great
arms Of Vidal and another of the cow

as the swift seconds fled by. From
the other side came the sound Of quick,
swapping voices, of scurrying feet, the
sound of a cry which tingled through
Stanway's blood and sent Vidal with
redoubled vigor to the onslaught on
the door.
At last the door fell. Stanway and
Vidal, side by side, leaped through.
There was another hall, wider than
the first, shorter. At the end Of the

With splinters flying, shocked upon
its heavy hinges, the great oak door
was open. Stanway slipped through ;

enormous hand, came after him, his
fellows crowding after them.

feet square, furnished we'll; blankets,

EXPECT BIC CROWD FOR
 BOXING CARNIVAL TONIGHT
Benny Valger Arrives In Town Confident of Beating Harry Carlson In Main Bout-Franke Wilson and
 Confrey Ought to Furnish Good Battle

Benny Valger, the French cham pton about whose ring exploits many local boxing fans have read in the newspapers, will make his debut be fore a Bridgeport audience tonight when he tackles Harry Carlson. who replaces Britt on the card. because Britt hurt his eye. Valger and Carl son will rningle in the star bout of eight rounds.
 Valger finished his training yester- day by taking some road work and is in great shape. He arrived in this city last night. Carlson has many vic tories over good boxers to his credit and he will make Talger step lively Valger has been In three bouts with in the past two weeks. He knocked out Jimmy Hill, the Australian cham pion, in Boston the week before last and last week sent Eddie Jackson to dreamland in a battle at Jersey City.

AL KETCHEL GOING

Benny Murphy writes as follows:
 Al Ketchel will make his first ap- pearance at Lowell on next Thursday night when he faces Billy Duffy of Boston for ten rounds. The following evening Al will journey over to New port and box a, twelve round bout with Jack Howie of Woonsocket, R. l. This will prove to the Bridgeport fans that
 Ketchel is still a card throughout New England.
 "A1 has placed himself under my
 mana cement again and am sure if he is 50 per cent. the boxer he was several years back he can make good with the present crop of lightweights. If he wins both these matches the matchmaker of the Arrnory A. A. will
 match him with Charlie Parker, Bos- tons crack lightweight, in two weeks so it looks like Ketchel will have plenty of work throughout New Eng land if he makes good in his two starts.
 "Ketche1 will leave for the Pacific Coast with me in December where the four round game is going great guns. And I am sure that he will be 1 a bear in the four round bouts. Just
 watch Al come through in his coming
 fights and he will prove to the fans
 that he is the best lightweight in Con

PADDOCK
 IS WRESTLING
 CHAMPION NOW

New York, Oct. 27-In view of the statements circulated regarding the American heavyweight wrestling title, a few facts and figures may be apro- pos. Earl Caddeck of Anita, la, is the holder of the American cham pionshIp and any claims made in be- half of Strangler Lewis, Joe Stecher or V1adek zbyszko will not stand the test of an inspection of the records.
 Caddock has beaten all three of the wrestlers named and under con ditiens prescribed by promoters of the matches, Caddock met Joe Stecher, the body scissors expert, in a championship match at Omaha in April, 1917. the conditions calling for the best two in three falls catch as catch can. Stecher won the first fall in 1 hour and 22 minutes, but Cad
 dock came back and captured the second fall after a desperate strug- gle of 1 hour and 40 minutes. When the contestants were called for the third and decisive fall Stecher did not answer, and the referee necessarily awarded the fall and match to Cad dock.
 Caddock defeated sbyszko two out
 of three falls at Des Moines. la, on Feb. 8, 1918, and again on May of the same year CaddoOck defeated the Po1ander on points after hours and 30 minutes on the mat. the agree ment being that if neither man gam ed a fall in the time limit of two and a half hours the referee was to select | the winner on the basis of points, the i same as in boxing contest. | Caddock and Lewis met at Des l Motnes June 21, 1918, and Caddock 2 defeated the Strangler on points in a | contest lasting ? hours and 30 min utes without either man scoring a ] fall.
 1 These three notable victories over
 the best catch -as-catch men in the world most assuredly gave the cham | pionship to Caddock. and unless the title holder formally retires from the l mat there Is no way in which he car l be deprived of his honors except by l defeat in a contest.
