 Strazza Post Notes-At their meet ing Monday evening the members of form on Monday and a delegation was appointed to decorate the graves on this day. The question of appointing a chaplain was discussed and it was finally decided that when the occa- sion arose some of the local pastors would be called upon. The next meet ing of the post is set for the first Mon day evening in June. Society hall was so crowded that there was hardly room for ring Monday evening when, under the auspices of Strazza post, Battling" Cullen and Kid" Morgan, both of Rockville, met in a five round, no decision bout. To many who have had opportunities to see bigger bouts this was a tame one but there was a large number present who found keen enjoyment in watching the battle. It was planned to have two other bouts between local aspirants but two of them were out of condition so the meeting was adjourned after the five round go.
