Every man WHO Went over VI
Baltimore for the Ledoux- Williams
contest at the National A. C. got
plenty for his money. This Terry
McHugh-Roy Moore tussle shapes
UP as another Ledoux- Williams
battle, both boys going at top speed
from the opening bell Moore Is
one Of the most aggressive bantams
in the ring today. while McHugh is
rushing rapidly to the head OF the
division through the same char
acteristics.
How good is McHugh7 Well.
let's leave it to Pete Herman. Until
recently worlds bantam champion.
They were booked for eight rounds
at the National Club In Philadelphia
few weeks ago. Herman found
out that the Allentown lad was a
pound and a half overweight. He
climbed right back into his street
clothes.
"What's the matter? ?" he was ask
ed by the club officials. Afraid
of McHugh ?"
"I'm not afraid Of him." replied
the New Orleans bantam. "but I'm
not going into any ring with him
so long as he has an ounce advan-
tage over me. That's how tough l
consider him."
And they did not clash that
night. Only a few weeks earlier
McHugh had outpointed Herman in
eight rounds of a ten-round session.
so maybe the former champion
knew something.
TERRY McHUGH is one Of the
lads Johnny Buff is trying
to stave off by his contem-
plated trip to ENGLAND. The ban

White. Irish Johnny Curtain. Bale
Herman, Willie Kohler, Young
Leonard and Jack Kid Wolfe. He
has one newspaper decision over
this same Roy Moore, whom he
faces Monday night, making this a
return bout.
It is generally admitted that the
present worlds champion. Johnny
Buff, will not hold his honors long.
He is too old. He has taken many
wears to reach the heights. Three
young terrors are after him now,
Terry McHugh. Midget Smith md

ted by the conference as a basis for
the eventual recognition of Russia, is

Lloyd George has already fore
stalled some possible objections to the

the conference will proceed with
whatever nations stay to take part.
with THIS program in mind the pow

which will take up the slack time of
the conference while the big thing is

is still much important business.

THE ROTTEN
SCHOOL BOARD

States Attorney Grove subpOenaed
over sixty property owners in the
widespread investigation of graft in
the school affairs. They will be ques-
toned by States Attorney Grove and
Assistant States Attorney Hodges re
garding transfer of their property to
the school board, after, it is alleged
it was condemned for ForrestvilIe
school purposes.
The SubpOenaeS duCeS tecum were is
sued Immediately after Assistant
States Attorney Hodges had ques-
toned officials of the board.
Mrs. Lulu Snodgrass, former trustee
of the board of education, will be one
OF the important witnesses to appear
before the grand jury to testify in the
investigation being conducted by
States Attorney Grove into school
board affairs.
While Mrs. SnOdgraSS, who is chair
man of the educational committee of
the Cook County WOmen's clubs and
of the educational section of the COM
mittee on public affairs, has made a
few open charges concerning the
board of education to various wOmens
clubs, it was reported that information
she could not divulge to them will be
revealed to the states attorney.
Her testimony will tell in part the
matter of the $2,00O,000 boilers rust
ing in the fields at the May school,
and for which $1,000 was paid for
carriage and storage. She is also ex-
pected to tell of payroll paddings and
will name certain trustees who have
been instrumental in placing contracts
with their favOrite concerns.
Payroll padding, graft and fraud
were charges hurled at the board of
education by Assistant States Attor-
ney Ernest S. Hodges, who, under the
direction Of States Attorney Grove,
is conducting the investigation.
Attorney Hodges had just finished
a personal of the payroll accounts Of
the board, which consumed the entire
weekend. Forthwith subpoenas were
Immediately sent out for Miss Ada L.
