Good Nighs for Tender
To See Stars, Says Seer

Benny Leonard will retain his
championship after the bout to-
night with Lew Tender, probably
handing the challenger a knock
out, according to prophecy made
yesterday by Professor Gustaye
Meyer, the quite often infallible
astrologer Of Hoboken. The stars
in their courses, said the profes-
sor, are fighting for Benny, as
Lew will see.
Leonard had the martial
planet Mars in friendly aspect to
the sun at his birth" he explained.
Tender will have the martial
planet Mars badly aspected in his
nativity or chart, similar in aspect
to when predicted that Moran
would knock out Palzer in seven
rounds back in 1913. Hence Ten
dler is due to see more stars than
he ever saw before"
The soothsayer failed to saw
whether he had any money up.

Dr. Lacy LOckeH Directs AHemion To Gred Masterpiece of Literature

pr. William Stearns Davis, Uni verslty of Minnesota.
 pr. Lacy Lockert, Kenyon college, chairman"
 During a recent visit of Dr. Lockert to Nashville. Tenn, after an expla- nation of the contest. The Nashville Banner stated:
 "Dr. Lockert, who Is chairman of the committee, is a native of Clarks- ville and has for the past several years spent his summers in Nash vile.
 Tt seems fortunate that public mo- tice should thus be called to a novel considered one of the rarest achieve ments of American literature. Pub lished some 20 years ago "Gorgo" won the highest praise of reviewers, but through an unfortunate combi- nation of circumstances it never fair ly reached the general public. Dur ing all the subsequent years. how ever. it has maintained small circle of readers and has had the admira- tion of those whose praise is worth while.
 'Gorgo' practically exceis in its creation of historical atmosphere. In reproducing the local color of a long vanished age. It's style, a marvel of limpid beauty, is made to enhance this effect. Most historical novels bring the past up and crudely exhibit 1t like a snowman. Only. Henry Es- mond. and. 'Gorgo' place the reader himself back in a revived past, and Thackeray's achievement Is the les- Ter, for the age that 'Gorgo' deals with Is ten times more remote. But though mlnutely accurate as to his- tory and introducing such famous figures as Socrates and Alcibiades, 'Gorgo' Is no dry treatise of scholar ship; 1t is an exquisite story, with fine characterization and at times delicious humor"
