Bill Gives Official Dope
On Mitt Show At Rink
Dear Fan:


Say, Bo, everythin' settin' purity
for tn big show at the rink tonight.
BIZ says she should be some
scrap,
How does he figure? Wall, do
ye know, perhaps you've hearn tell
IN the paper about this guy Muir
pny from-les' see, where's he
1rom?-oh, yeh, they call him
the stockyards;" he's from Chi
cago. Wall, anyway, the wise
birds say he's a rarin' pesky fight
er, this here Murphy-the kind that
can stand up in that four-cornered
square platform field they call a
ring and lambast the everlastin'
dayhghts out Of any idjit that's
phool enough to git inside there
with him. And, say, Bill, he tol'
me CBfll, you know, is on the in
side and gifts the straight dope)
that this here guys no dancin' dude
that thinks a rings tn place to i'm
ttate a Roosian ballet dancer. No,
Stree, not himi He's the kind of
a guy that will try to make the
other fella' think he's right where
OF Gfneral Sherman was when he
spoke his mind bout war. That's
his style. Bill says. Mebbe we
won't be tickled to see him work.
But now, on t'other hand, this
here York has the rep of being a
right smart boy with his dukes.
Why, Bill he tells me that this
hardest wallops don't seem to slow
him up ct all. He says he's the
same kind of a fighter that this
here Murphy would have US believe
he is, only Bill says he's seen York
work, while he has never watched
this stockyards guy from the Windy
City do any butcherin'.
But, say, this mix between York
and the Irishman from Chi is only
small part of the program to-
night II the dope holds true, Bill
seys. There's Johnny Donahue,
Bill seys he's the best lightweight
Rock Island ever put out, and
Johnny's goin' to knock the block
off of a guy named Johnny Hoff-
mann. The only thing we can say
for Hoffman, is that he's from Mil
waukee and his front monicker is
the same as our Johnny's. But that
won't infiooence Donahue, Bill seys
this here HOFFMAN, Is due for a
nap before retirin' tonight. seys he.
Then, to begin with, there are
two whut Bill calls preliminaries,
that he seys are goin' to be cuck-
COS If they come off In the main
one, two amachures, young and
promisin', are to trade punches for
six rounds, Bill seys. There's this
here Jimmy Gill whut Bill claims
the fans are Mailing as this burg's
lone dope for q champeen, and
Young Cutie, he's friend o. Gill's
outside the arena, whut a funny
name-but say, DO, Bill seys that
there kid can stand up with any of
them manhandleTs. He's never
taken the count yet, Bill seys, and
he's fit everyone they asst him to so
far.
And IN the opener, Bill tor me
that the Opener" is Just whut 1t
means-somethin' that prys the lid
off the entertainment dish for the

fans; there's goin' to be Ray Zies
of our town and Kid Brandee Of
Swedetown. Lemme tell you, Bill
seys both boys are crackin' good
sluggers, thet's enough for me-
And say, just another little word
before we close, hopfn' to see you
at the show tonight; Babe Meanor
Bill says he's the Rock Island
Athletic club, and Bills on the in
side-w'all Babe seys tibet there'Il
be no more seat trouble tonight; l
guess he means whut was SO exasp-
pertain at the last night, Bill seys.
Yeh, Babe seys that all these dudes
who wasted their cracklin' jack on
ringside or reserved seat ducats
will be seated, and Babe seys in the
right seat. There's goin' tub be
ropes stretched around the reserv-
ed seats, Bill seys Meanor toll him,
and nobuddy but them whut's got
the ducats to prove their claim to
somethin' better than common will
be allowed inside them ropes. Some
system Babes got figured out, toll
Bill. Yeh, an Bill he seys these
wise guys who try to horn in on
somethin' reserved after bein' pass
ed in as general admission had bet
ter watch out, for Babes goin' to
have some of those amachure fight
ers act as bouncers tonight and
there'll be somethin' dom il any
thing is started, Bill seys.
From whut Bill tells me I'll hev'
to take mite of nap before goin'
to the fight tonight, for they must
be turrible nerve-racking to watch.
But 1 wanna see whut's goin' tub
happen to Murphy, Holman and
others. I'll see yuh there.
Yours resp'y, TUFTY.

Garden Of Eden to the dawn Of
peace in the present year. THE
Birth of a Race" is shown in its
progress down through the ages in
scenes of peace, of war, OF diplo-
macy and domestic happiness. It
is a most graphic history OF the
world presented for the enlighten-
ment and entertainment of the peo-
pie.
Perhaps no great photop1ay has
ever been prepared with more
earnest care, more historical re-
search, moro truth and more eager
effort for dramatic effect than 1.-THE

ma pictures the great events of
history, 1t is not, primarily, a war
picture, War Is used as & back

er profess New Testament Christian
ity and decline a challenge like that
which is now presented to them to
bear witness to their faith among the
peoples of Europe. Our people never
before faced such a challenge and such
a responsibility.
"Of'course we can not go to the men
and women of Europe who have been
stripped of earthly fortune and reduced
to direst necessity with message of
Christian love and brotherhood if we
decline in our abundance to carry
some substantial pledge Of our love
and compassion. Mothers will not be
able to stay the crying Of their little
ones to hear US preach if we decline
to practice the gospel Of compassion
and feed these little ones and build
fires at which they can during the COM
ing winter warm their frosted toes.
Southern Baptists are under the most
Solemn obligation to help relieve the
want and suffering of Europe. But if
there were no reconstruction work in
Europe, Southern Baptists have mo-
tives numerous enough and strong
enough to compel them to make COM
plete success of the Baptist 75 Mil

TUCSON, Oct 21.-The announce ments last week of the early resump- ton of the Swastika mines, rich in silver, the early operation of the Sahu- arc Copper company, and of the first public offering of stock of the Silver ita Mining company, all controlled by local people indicated that the silver nection with these announcements William Kemp has began operations on the opening of the old Vulcan prop critics adjoining the Sahuro Copper company.

 DOUGLAS, Oct. 21. As an evi- dence of the rapid strides made by Gochise county in the agricultural and cattle lines of industry, the rec ords of patents granted to land own CTS, are a glowing argument. Since the Sth day of August and up to and including the 18th day of October, 66 patents have been filed with the re, corder
 The scramble for land in this county the past few months has been furious. The farmer and stockman has devoted a greater part of his time to obtaining title to suitable land, and at the present rate, all land that will answer either purpose will be taken up in the very near future. Most of the land has been fenced, some obtained by residence as home stead, and great acreage leased from the government under the 70 year payment plan.
 Many oil claim locations have also been filed recently, the last rush be ing for ground north of Douglas, in the vicinity of Mud Springs, and in the foothills of the Swisshelm noun tains.
