COPS SMOKER
HERE TONIGHT
Fine Program Prepared to
Entertain Large Crowd
That Is Expected to Attend.

The program arranged for the
smoker to be staged by the Patrol
mems Benevolent Association in the
Auditorium tonight is one of the
best ever prepared for a smoker
held in this city. There are three
six-round boxing bouts, one wrest-
ling match and a number of vaude-
Vile acts by professional entertain

the men as they enter the hall.
All the boxers are reported in
tip-top condition for the three six
round boxing exhibitions. In the
main event Kid Potty. feather
weight champion of this city, will
mix with Charley Britton of New

city, and Freddy Seidel, the New
ark n%ewsboy, will swap punches
while in the third event Joe Honan,
the fighting waiter, will have his
hands full in taking good care of
Joe Mccartney for eighteen min

An event which undoubtedly has
aided the patrolmen a great deal in
getting rid of their tickets is the
wrestling match between John Lar
son, the cop who handles traffic at
the corner of Fayette and State
streets, /and Reckless" Hanson.
This bout is expected to be as lively
as any of the events on the pro-
gram. Both of these men are known
to the sporting following of this city
as fearless toilers when in the arena
The men are reported In good con-
dition for the match. Joe McNulty
will referee this bout and the boxing
events. and William Bachman will
hold the watch.
Some of the best professional per-
formers o~btainable have been Sc
cured to take part in the vaudeville
acts and the committee in charge
feels confident that the vaudeville
portion OF the program will go as
good as the athletic events.
