A REAL FIGHT ON
FOR DERBY EVE

Chicago, April 23-Pal Moore,

weight is i'll the midst of an eX-
tensive training seige here in pre-
paration for his 12-round contest
with Joe Lynch, the bantam
weight champion, in Louisville
May 6, the night before the run
ming of the Kentucky Derby.
Critics agree that Moore al
ways has given Lynch the best
contest that the title holder ever
received during his brilliant ca
reer in the ring. They have met
in five contests-54 rounds in all
and only Lynch's superior
strength and staying power have
been able to overcome Moore's
tremendous speed. The coming
contest will be decided in Il
Jefferson county armory and in
dications are that the gate re-
ceipts may reach $4,000.

that when one Of the men is be-

he will not shown any affection
for his folks no matter how much
he may care for them. The Wo-

their sisters, seldom whisper
when the men are being taken
away.
The children up to the age OF
seven, will talk, but after they
reach that age, a stranger seldom
can get anything out of them.

only question the mountain men
ask the officers is whether they
