Light Heavyweights Will Swap Mitts at Jersey City-Other News of the Ring.

' ARRY WILLIAMS of this city, will A have the opportunity of becom- ing the. most talked of boxer of the East on Monday night when he ex- changes blows with Kid Norfolk, the colored light heavyweight, in the main bout of eight rounds at the Armory A. A. in Jersey City. The two met here month ago and on that occasion Larry played rings around the colored man. Chances are that he will repeat and in the event that he does he will have every reason in the world for claiming the light heavyweight championship.
 As a matter of fact, Larry Williams ability is just about being appreciated by the public in general. New York CTS, who admire the negro's slugging ability can hardly believe that Will Hams defeated him here and it is to satisfy these fastidious individuals more than anything else that prompt ed Matchmaker Jennings to sign the two again. However, he need have no fear for they are an evenly matched pair and an exciting battle should develop.
 There will be a large number of Bridgeporters at the ringside who will root for Larry. The latter is, with out question, the best liked boxer in Bridgeport and all because he is a gentleman first and pugilist after ward. He seldom has an i'll word to say against anybody, minds his own business, trains faithfully and knows how to keep his friends.
 Williams has time and again tried to force Harry Greb into a bout with him, but each time the Pittsburghe has run out on him. There is no doubt but that Larry could make the Smoke City battler travel fast No one knows this better than Harry and his manager, Red" Mason. The Bridgeporter possesses a couple of hard socks-
 Norfolk is recognized by many as the toughest giant in the game. He is a splendid infighter and an unusu- ally hard hitter. However, Larry can offset both of these factors if he will fight the negro as he did at Terry Lees show at the Casino last month. Norfolk has defeated the best in the business and will be after Williams scalp with even greater determina-

bouts.
 But the principal point is that it is Larry Williams big chance and every local Bridgeporter will be pull ing for a Williams victory on Mon day. Williams is extremely popular down in Jersey as is Norfolk and an exceptionally big crowd is expected to be on hand.
 Eddie Trembley, who was recently discharged from the army, has been matched to box eight rounds with Johnny Howard of Bayonne, at the Bayonne A. c. of that city, on Fri day night. Howard always draws big in his home town and as Eddie is well known there it is estimated by those in a position to know that the ba tile will draw in the neighbor- hood of s1.SOO. Trembly will fight on a percentage basis.
 Despite the warm weather the Jer- sey clubs are doing wonderful busi- ness and practically all of them will be opened on the coming holiday. The Long Branch, Atlantic City, Bay onne, Trenton, Camden and Lake wood clubs will all conduct special cards on the Fourth. On Friday night, Charley Hayes of New York, will meet Mickey Don1ey of Newark at the Long Branch club.
 Battling Levinsky, formerly of this city, but now of Philadelphia, will leave his home probably tomorrow and make his way to Toledo, O., where he will officiate in the capacity of
 
 champion heavyweight, who meets Jack Dempsey on July Fourth. There will be about four friends of the Bat tier who will accompany him toToledo. The crowd will somewhere in Toledo" until July when Bat will skip over to Rossford for the purpose of meet ing Billy Miske of St. Paul. Miske, by the way, is already in Toledo where he is serving as sparring partner to Jack Dempsey.
 Bat Masterson, the New York Tele- graph boxing expert, refuses to be- lieve that Johnny Dundee was beaten by Benny Leonard in Philadelphia last week. Bat in an article under his signature, publishes a number of ex- cerpts from accounts of the fight in Philadelphia papers. According to these paper clippings Benny lost de- cisively to the Italian.
 The 5:3O o'clock Lake Shore Limited that leaves the-Grand Central for To1- edo on next Thursday, July 8, after noon, will be made up of no less than six sections. Three sections will be virtually special trains leased to groups of sporting men. The other three will be operated by the New York Central railroad, which is al- ready smothered with applications for reservations on fast trains to Toledo. John Reisler has not the least chance of breaking up the party arranged for Toledo on the Fourth. He has peddled stories to the effect that he will interfere with the big fight, but the fact remains that John will be mighty lucky if he is permitted even to go inside the Arena, for the right of admittance is reserved" And John is far from being welcomed. The club making the most money in New Jersey, according to boxers and their managers, is the Trenton A. c. of Trenton, N. J., where even on these hot nights it is nothing uncommon to see the place damned. They operate there every week.

writer and has the reputation of first investigating and then writing. But there is an exception. Yesterday in his column Bat said that Charley Pitts, formerly of this city, was a setup for Benny Leonard and that the latter could have beaten the eX- Bridgeporter any time he wanted to do so.
 Bat was not on the scene, Mon treaI, the night of the fight. He is probably taking somebody's word for it. But we have the word of the com potent writers of Montreal and they all agree that Leonard tried his hard est and fought with all his might, but stop he could not Charley Pitts. In stead of boxing on the defensive, Pitts forced the champion to fight offen- sively and in that way he made the job a tougher one for Leonard, who is in the habit of letting the other fell low do all the hard fighting, while he defends himself.
 Masterson says, too, that he has never heard of Pitts. We don't doubt that, but Just because Bat hasn't heard of him does not cheapen Pitts as a boxer. There are a, lot of good boys in every city in the country, who would make good opponents for the champion. and about whom Master son has heard nothing. Perhaps he would call all these ''bums'' as he calls Pitts
 Pitts is as gentlemanly a boxer as there is in this country. Poor man agement has prevented him from coming into his own. He is a clever boxer and heavy hitter and so far as we can observe can give most light weights in this district at least a hard and stiff battle. He does not need any coaching. He does not have to be watched to stick to his training He is faithful to himself.

ID TITS is not a novice He has Il fought in this country, in Aus tralia and in the Philippines. He has met some of the toughest boys in those countries and just now he is under the management of Clarence Gilliespie-the first competent man ager he has had. Under Gillispie he should make himself better known. We would advise Masterson, upon his return from Toledo whither he has wandered to attend the big fight, to take a run down to Billy Grupp's gymnasium West 116th Street New York, any afternoon and see Charley in action.
 After that he will in all probability come to the conclusion that Pitts is far from the sort of chap who will stoop. so low as to victimize unsus- pectins fans by selling his services to any manager.

Gladys Brockwell and
Margarita Fisher Play
on Fifth Avenue Bill

A woman's soul cannot be read
like a book. 1t is too complex. Yet
1t is possible to take fragments OF
it and reevak some of the keen suf-
fering, the unknown joy that surge
through a woman's heart.
Gladys Brockwell has done this
to perfection in 1.-The Call of the
Soul" a William Fox photodrama
which opened today at the Fifth
Avenue theatre. In this play she
portrAys a woman whose heart is
torn between love for the little
child that came to her as a result
Of a dreadful experience and her
love Off a man who believes her to
be a pure woman. 1t is a bitter
love she tastes while the child is
kept in hiding, and still more bit
ter is the trial when her husband
discovers the secret. But his heart
softens as her overpowering moth
er love is revealed, and he takes
the mother and child into his arms.
Seldom has a girl star had a bet
ter supporting cast than Mar
garita Fisher in the rip-roading
American Film company picture
Fair Enough" which will be seen
at Fifth Avenue theatre on Sunday.
And perhaps never has more ia
teresting mixture of droll antics,
bizarre vagaries on the part of a
devil-may-care girl, been put into a
light screen comedy in more in
teresting and amusing manner than
in this production. Nothing more
fitting, nothing more suitable has
perhaps ever been written for Mar
garita Fisher than this j. Anthony
Roach story.
She plays the part of the daugh-
ter of an upstart mother who at
tempts to fashion her according ,
her own pattern, but also, the SETS
sors slip, And instead of one "just
SO" female bud on the branch of a
hoped-for family tree; the daughter
turns out to be a veritable thistle
in the garden of conventionality.
