POLO HAS
BETTER Al THOMAS
IN WATERV|LLE BOUT

w IlefNllie, OCt. ll-Eddle Polo the
local favorite bested Al Thomas of
New Bedford, Mass, over the double
six route at the armory Wednesday
night. Thomas was game but that
was about all. Polo took ten rounds,
one going to Thomas, and another
being even. Polo was in tip-top con-
dltlon, due to good work by his train
or. Nap Dufresne. Polo is fighting
the best Of his career, and it was no
question that Thomas did not have
a chance. Polo used both his hands
and his head and was especially fast
in the clinchcs. All that Thomas
saw, while they clinchcd was mits,
mits and more mits. Blood was
drawn from Thomas nose and ear
during the melee. Once during the
second six, it was thought necessary
by the doctor to examine him, but
no cause was found to stop the
fight.
Several times Polo tried for a
knock out and hit the Massachu
sluggcr with every thing but the club
iIASii1N, pul VIC RIuIhN SUD ppoE stay
cd there and waited for more. Polo
had his man on the verge of a knock
out, but somehow could not floor his
opponent. Eddie was hitting harder
than usual. This was Polo's first
fight for the season and he is get
ting in trim for the tournament to
be staged by frankie DeRice at Port
land, later in the month.
AS the first fight of the evening,
Watervilles Panama Kid, put the
sleeping powder under the nose of
Young LaEond of Lewiston during
the second round. Battling OBrien
of Bangor was late in arriving and
the main fight of the card was put
on next. After the main fight, Billie
Muldoon of Lynn was introduced as
the opponent Fof Battling OBrien
O'Brien was X. O'ed in the first
round. O'Brien was substituting for
Iron Man Abbott Of Colby College,
who is in the hospital with an infec-
ted arm.
In the preliminaries Young LaFond
started off like a streak of fire
against the Panama Kid. He hit
the Kid with both hands, hard and
often. using a shift of pace that had
the Watervile fighter buffaloed. Blood
was drawn from the Waterville boy
and the first round went to the Twin
City lad by wide margin. The
Lewiston boy started off in the sec
ond and Panama was a little better
than the first, they clinched and La
Fond dropped for the count.
In the semi final, Billie Muldoon
and Battling o'Brien started off like
a whirlwind. There was some heavy
slugging by both fighters. The bows
clinched and O'Bricn fell, claiming
that he was foul-d. The referee
counted him out. He was examined
by doctor, but no traces of a foul
blow could be found.
The next bout was the main at

Plan to Get Big
Golfer to Take Place
SaraZen at Waterville

Waterville, Maine. Oct. 11.-Spec-
ial)-"We are going right ahead and
secure the greatest golfer we can
get to take the place of Gene Sara
zen, who is unable to appear at the
Waterville Country Club anniversary.
Oct. 20, on account of being operated
on for appendicitis" said one of the
guarantors Of the big show, following
a meeting of those interested, which
took place in the private dining
room of the Elmwood hotel Wednes-
day evening.
Instead of being disheartened at
a reverse which might have given a
quittance to stouter hearts, the
guarantors of the great golf match
were more determined than ever to
make Oct. 20 a memorable date in
the annals of the sport in the New
England states. Several lines are
out and number of front rank
golfers have been given very tempt
ing offers to be present on the great
occasion and names as great as that
Of Sarazen are on the list.
Letters have been received from
all over the State from golfers who
had planned to be in attendance on
the day named and all expressed the
hope that the Waterville Cou2try
Club would perservere in carrying
out its program and this is just what
the guarantors are planning to co.
Those who have marked their cal
endars for Oct. 20 should make no
mistake, but keep the date open. as
the Watervlle golfers are going to
put their plans across, and some
time this week, possible Thursday,
they may have an interesting an
nouncement to make as to who the
substitute for Sarazen will be.

The serious loss will come from the
driving of passengers to foreign pas

in the trans Pacific, South and Cen

trades, where all ships customarily

Passengers between such ports will

travelling by American ships they Will
have to forego the opportunity OF OBJ
