Kid DUDE Eager

Kid DUDE of Lewiston the only
Maine fighter who has had the dis
tinction of appearing on one of Tex
Richards feature bouts in Madison
Square Garden would like to take a
shot at the New England feather
weight title. DUDE figures that his
home and his heart are still in the
old Pine Tree State, although he is
making his fighting headquarters in
Brooklyn, n. Y.
The present New England feather
champion is Chick Suggs colored
lad from New Bedford, and a terrific
puncher. Suggs and Irish Johnny
Curtin, as many fans will remember,

Say Rail Rates Unfair

reduction of freight rates on agri-
cultural products by New England
railroads. Following are the text of
the naval resolutions:

Whereas the stupendous folly,

have been brought home to the rea-
son and conscience of mankind by the
suffering and loss of life resulting
from the last World struggle and by
the unbearable preparation for an

ton at the opening of the session of

Judge Surprised at
Ch;,cott's RESIGNATION

'Dr. L. c. Chilcott's resignation
from the Maine Sportsmen's Fish and
Game Association comes as a sur
prise to those who were present at
the hearing at the Penobscot Ex-
change in Bangor last Friday, as 1t
was the general concensus of opinion
that the decision given was most
fair one to both DR.. Chilcott and Les
lie w. Somers who were tied for the
first place for the Chisholm cup" says
Kenneth F. Lee of Augusta, one of the
three who sat in arbitration.
Three witnesses stated that the
doctor had infringed the rules gov
erning the match by firing an extra
shot and he admitted that he might
have done so. The target under dis
cussion was not signed by either the
range officer nor any witness, DR..
Chilcotts name being the only one
on it. This alone would serve to
throw it out in any regular match,
il it had been carefully scrutinized by
the officials.
"This is the second organization
from which DR.. Chilcott has resigned
under similar conditions, the Bangor
Rife Club being the other. 1t Is an
unfortunate affair and the association
is losing a splendid marksman. but
the commission appointed to decide
the award of the Chisholm cup feels
that its decision was more than fair
to the doctor. The decision was that
Mr.. Somers and DIR. Chilcott be al
lowed to shoot for the award at the
next annual meeting. His resignation
will probably give the second leg of
the cup to Mr.. Somers. who, IL he wins
it again next year, will thus become
its permanent owner"
