GOOD FIGHT CARD PROSPECTS
FOR AUDO SHOW TUESDAY

New Jersey is likely 20 have It's
first pugilistic champion in ring
history within the year IL George
Ward, Of Elizabeth, lives up 20 the
promise he has given in his bouts
since last winter. Ward. who is q
w~elterweight, and champion of New
Jersey in that class will meet Wil-
lie Thompson, Of Brooklyn, in the
star twelve-round bout next Tues
day night at the Auditorium Sport
ing Club Of Perth Amboy.
Ward Is being groomed for a
crack at Jack Britton's champion
ship, and those who have seen the
Elizabeth lad in action believe he
viii be the next worlds titie-holder
among the welters. Among the men
Ward has beaten are Mel Coogan,
Pete Hartley, Eddie McAndrews,
Johnny Nealey. Joe Welsh, and he
has knocked out such good fighters
as Harry Cattle and Jack Red
mond.
Besides being a clever boxer
Ward al hit as hard as any well
~terweight in the game. In Thomp-
son he will be meeting a boy who
prefers TO slug. The Brooklyn aspi-
rant is virtually a newcomer to the
game, but in the last few months
he has made long strides to the
front.
The semi-hnal Of eight rounds
will also bring together a pair of
welterweights Joe Honan, of Perth
Amboy, a veteran of the A Z. F.,
will meet Barney McGovern, of the
West Side of New York. and a slug
ging match is expected. as both
have little regard for the fine points
of boxing.

Conditions Today FAVOR
ReSolute In Fourth Race
With Challenger Shamrock

The Shamrock ". Sir Thomas
Lipton's challenger for the Americas
cup will be given her crucial test
this afternoon, weather permitting.
despite the fact that a victory By the
Re~solute, defending the American
trophy, will mean the sailing of a
fifth and deciding race. Yachting
experts are practically agreed that II
a fifth race is necessary, and it will
be Of a fifteen mile to windward and
return race, that the defender will
win. barring accidents. The Resolute
has proven that in sailing to wind
ward she has the Shamrock COM
pletely outclassed whereas In a
triangular course the Shamrock can
reach and sail before the wind to
such an extent IS to leave Resolute
in the rear.
Today's race will be of the kind
that favors Shamrock thirty mile,
three cornered race I'm which there
will be two-thirds of the sailing con-
sisting of reaches and travelling be-
fore the wind. Although the other
third will favor Resolute, being a
beat TO windward of ten miles, it is
not expected that she can pile up a
sufficient lead to prevent the
challenger from passing her during
the other twenty miles Of sailing.
Although there was a twelve knot
breeze blowing for a short period in
the last race, which Resolute won on
her time allowance, there has not
been a strong breeze for any of the
races which would cause the sloops
to lay down and make their best
time. Only for a short time on
Wednesday was the leerail Of either
yacht under water.
Up until this year the international
races we're always held later in the
summer. either August or September,
as n breeze at that time was
stronger. This year neither boat has
been able to make a considerable
amount of speed because of the lack
Of wind In most Of the races ii has
been a case of hunting for the puffs
Of wind which would push the craft
along slowly and smoothly.
Owing to the nature OF today's
course Shamrock is the favorite but
IL Resolute should sail as close a race
as that of Wednesday, the general
dope" is that the fifth and deciding
contest tomorrow will go TO Resolute,
II being her favorite race of fifteen
miles TO windward and return.
The Shamrock was hauled out
yesterday and had her underbody
scraped in order that there will be
nothing to hinder her sliding through
the water at the fastest rate possible.
While hauled out her topsail was
changed, a smaller canvas being put

.LYCEUMS PLAY
At LONG BRANCH
Local Team, After Breaking
Even at Red Ban k Last
Sunday, Will Again Travel

Fans who will follow the Lyceums
Of this city to Long Branch Sunday
will be sure of seeing a game of
unusual interest. The Dyceums are
depending upon their star twirler,
Milchick. who pitched an even break
in a double header at Red Bank
last Sunday, to subdue the fast go
ing Long Branch players. Milchick
is a consistent pitcher, allowing only
even hits in both of last Sundays
games shows, and has the unusual
honor of being the heaviest hitter
that the Lyceum A. G. has.
Manager Snyder is also counting
upon the heavy slugging of French
and Coley to land a victory. With
the combined star efforts of these
three players there is no reason
why the local organization shouldn't
come home with a nice string Of
scalps.

WOMEN OF AMERICA
 SECURE BALLOT
FEDERAL AMENDMENT IS RATI- FEED BY THE TENNESSEE
 LEGISLATURE.

Nashville, Tenn = Tennessee be- came the thirty-sixth state to ratify the Susan B. Anthony federal sui frage amendment The constitution al change thus will become effective in time for 17,000,000 women of the country to vote in the presidential election in November, unless the low CT house of the Tennessee assembly recinds it's action in adopting the rat ification resolution, 49 to 47.
 Speaker Walker, leader of the anti suffragists put opponents in posi- tion to demand reconsideration by changing his vote from nay to aye and moving to reconsider. Suffrage and anti-sutfrage forces frightened their lines for the final fight and both sides were claiming the victory.
 Suffragists, however, had the advan- tage of victory and expressed conf dence that Speaker Walkers motion would be voted down later. The next step iii ratification then would be the certifying of the action of the Ten nessee assembly to the secretary of state of the United States, who, upon it's receipt, would issue proclama- tion declaring the amendment rati- fed
 The Tennessee Senate ratified the i amendment by a vote Of 25 to 4.
 Suffrage leaders declare they will not slacken their efforts, as they de- sire to have at least one other state ratify before the November elections, as they expect fight to be made against Tennessee's action because of the clause in the state constitution which prohibits any assembly from acting on an amendment not submit ted before the members were elected.
 Both United States Solicitor Gener. el Frierson and the attorney general of Tennessee nave declared tllis clause to be unconstitutional in the i light of the recent decision of the supreme court in the Ohio referendum case.
 The suffragists won tie preliminary victory in the house when motion to table the ratification resolution was lost on a tie vote, AS to AS.
 This would have put over action un- til 1921 Some of those keeping tally of the votes recorded the vote on this motion as 49 to 47 in favor and first reports were that suffrage had been defeated The official tally showed a tie vote, however, and to make assur- ance doubly sure a second roll call was ordered.
 The vote again was recorded as AS to AS and the motion to table was de clared lost.
