FIGHT TONIGHT
George Ward in Main Bout
With Willie Thompson at
Auditorium.

The Auditorium Sporting Club will
stage an all-star welterweight show
here tonight. Four new a~spirants
for Jack Britton's title will meet in
the feature bouts. In the leadliner
Of twelve rounds George Ward Of
Elizabeth will exchange slams with
Knockout Willie Thompson of Brook
lyn, while in the other bout Eddie
.Hassett of Jersey City will try TO stop
Barney McGovern. of the West Side.
Although classed with the un-
knowns less than a year ago both
Ward and Thompson have made such
rapid progress that they are now
ranked with the leading contenders
for the welterweight championship.
Ward in particular is considered a
dangerous rival for Britton, as the
Elizabeth boy has met and defeated
some OF the best welters in the game.
Thompson earned his sobriquet by
knocking out seven men in a row.
Ward has stopped such good per-
formers as Harry Cattle and Jack
Redmond. and has earned decisions
over Mel Coogan. Pete Hartley,
Johnny Mealey, Eddie McAndrews
and Joe Welsh. The Elizabeth SEN
sation is only twenty-one years old,
and experts predict he will be knock
ing on the door of the champion be-
fore the yea is out.
About Honan's Fighting
Despite the fact that Joe Honan.
a local fighter well known in fistic
circles, informed Promoter Doesse-
reck, OF the Auditorium Sport Club,
last week that he would not fight
Barney McGovern because the
amount stipulated in his contract
g.. H. A-Hs xwrau 1H1x~ 4-A-ha1f Af
that promised him orally, the name
of Honan continues to be sent out
in all Of the press notices by this
boxing club. This misrepresentation
does not seem fair to the FAM who
want to know who they are to see
fight when they attend the show.
Honan will not fight tonight and
yet morning New York papers con-
tanned items to the effect that he
would meet McGovern.
After reading the letter from
Promoter D~oessereck, printed in
this paper yesterday, Joe Honan has
written a few lines which he has
asked be published in his defense.
IT think the attack on my profess
sional record" he says, land ability
as a boxer by Nj. Doessereck of the
Auditorium S. c. is unjustified. My
past years of boxing before the
public of Perth Amboy, my brilliant
record overseas both with gun and
gloves, should shield me from such
unjust criticism. I have never fail
ed to appear in the past any time 1
signed a contract to appear. You
have all seen Joe win, lose, and
draw so you can draw your own
conclusions. Enclosed you will find
parts Of a letter (written by Hugh
Boyle, acting as manager for Hon
an in arranging this fight) and you
can see my price was $3.50 and their
price SIS.
yours for clean sport,
JOE HONAN."

JEALOUSY Is DEFEAT

THE jealous woman for example, -
she said. The jealous woman is
doomed to failure. No woman loses
her husband who refuses to be jeal-
Gus of him. To accuse him of caring
for some one else is fatal. Never
accuse. Not only do not appear
jealous of your husband, but do not
cOndescend to be jealous. Jealousy
is an open admission of defeat.
Another point-it is much more
important these days than most peo-
pie realize, that a married woman,
especially, should be sweet. This
does not mean she should not be wise.
On the contrary, it is impossible to
be adorably sweet without having
the wisdom of the serpent and the
sage.
please emphasize this fact-it is
very important that a woman be
polite to her husband. To say to
your husband what a man could not
say without the risk of being knocked
down is to take a cowardly advantage
of your position as a wife and a
woman.
The herald., 1920-10-21
THE truth STANDS

Sounds pretty banal. doesn't it,
she queried, an imp of appreciation
twinkling in her eyes, which have
caught their color from the slopes of
the Blue Ridge Mountains, where she
farms and writes. The truth often
does. We get so used to it we begin
to treat it like an old shoe
"Banal or not banal, the truth
stands. Men marry because they
love. or if they are not really in love,
they believe they are, which amounts
TO the same thing so far as the rea-
son for marriage is concerned
What in the world would they
marry for if not for love? They are
not compelled to marry. There is
no matrimonial draft law. 1t is a
voluntary act on their part. They
are free agents, able to go and come
as they please. No doors of travel
or effort. no walk of life, either high
or low, is closed TO them. They are
permitted to earn bread and butter,
or cake and wine where, when and
how they please.
"A woman may, very often does,
marry for reasons other than love
She breads becoming an old maid,
or she has the homing instinct. She
may marry man whom she respects,
or for whom she cares in a comfort
able way. A woman, you see, has
to be asked.
And why not? Woman was made
to be everything in mans life he is
not. If she is anything less, she is
failure
"A failure" | asked with pur-
poseful doubt
Yes, a failure" Mrs Harris
stopped pacing for a moment and
fixed me with the straight steadiness
of her eyes. One knew instinctively
she was about to hit another bulls
eye of truth directly in the centre.

The Tiger victory in the varsity con-

into high stroke at the outset,
throwing Pennsylvania far behind and

Princeton oarsmen splashed in their
eagerness to outstroke Harvard, and
it seemed they had lost their form.
But the heart of the men was in
their effort and. although they splash
