Tuapse, a port on the eastern shore
of the Black Sea, and at Gagri, a

toward the Georgian frontier. Other
bolsheviki detachments are reported

the tenth bolsheviki army, which has
been operating along the Armenian
frontier, is said to have passed through
Karakliss, moving toward the Geor-

Independent Georgia has been toll
Grated by the bolsheviki because of
the trade advantages offered at Bat
um, which has been regarded in Mos
COW as a corridor from Europe. Re
liable information from Batuim, how
ever, indicates serious disturbances,
the Georgian garrison there having re-
volted. This resulted in a panic and
people stormed the ships in the har-
Dor, seeking to escape before the ar
rival of bolsheviki troops, which were
reported in the neighborhood.
1t is understood the allies regard
the situation so serious that they
have considered sending warshps TO
insure the evacuation of allied mis-

This progressive club is gathering togeth- CT a collection of promising heavy weights at it's own expense, and is trying to develop a boxer who will be able to give Jack Dempsey a good fight for the worlds championship.
 Husky young sons of slam are be- ing gathered from steel mills, farms, lumber camps-al1 over-and are be- ing paid the salaries which they had been drawing at their regular work, while Jack O'Brien and other 1n- structors are teaching them the fine points of the game. This is an in- teresting experiment., and it is quite likely that some mighty good heavy weights will be developed in this way.
