OF SEASON At CITY
HALL TONIGHT

The biggest crowd in the history OF
Augusta boxing will be on hand to.
night in City hall to see Harry Sears
big boxing show, if all indications arc
correct. Promoter Sears all-star caro-
has aroused more interest than any
thing ever before attempted and the
sports have taken hold of the idea
with tremendous enthusiasm. Harry
announces that this will be his las,
show of the season as he must take
up his municipal duties as mayor OF
Saddleback Mountain in the very near
future. He also states in fairness to
everybody that, owing to manifest de.
fections on the part of those selling
tickets OH behalf of the benefit for
baseball, the show tonight will not be
staged in the interest of a baseball
team for Augusta. He wishes this
last minute phase of the situation made
clear and says that he is at a loss to
understand the Indifference manifested
IN the effort to stage a benefit. The
advance sale of tickets has been eX-
ceptlonally good and the wise fan will
get MS today, and not wait until eve
