uled National League game, playing
the best brand of basket ball in the

ises to be real treat for all who can

other reasons cannot attend will bear
in mind that there are other functions

be made to include every boy.
There are still few certificates and
buttons to be mailed, but they will
be sent out today, so that every boy
who has already sent in his pledge
will have them III time to attend the
game Monday evening.
In the meantime, the members are
asked to be looking forward TO the
athletic carnival to be held at the end

tainment for those who for some rea-
son cannot take part. Start prepar-
ing for it now. Read your column
daily. There is going to be some real
stuff.

Dan admits that Paul is growing, and
will soon have to give up the light
heavy title. but he wants to make as
much money out of it as possible be
fore his man moves up TO the heavy
division.
The fact is if all champions were
as willing 10 place their titles in
jeopardy as Paul has done in the last
eight months, the game would be the
better for it. Tex Rickard says that
the 'ParalyZer" is the easiest man
to do business with that he ever
met, and if the public was on its
hind legs for the match between him
and McTigue there would be no diff
Guilty in arranging the battle so far
as Hickey and his meal ticket are
concerned.
Paul showed his mettle by agree
ing TO meet the man who knocked
him out, Jack Delaney. The two met
last December and Berry proved his
greatness by winning.
The boxing commission seems TO be
intent upon chasing all champions out
of the State.
Charley Phil Rosenberg. the ban

the commission to fight Bushy GTa-
ham, who is really a topnotcher. Blu,
having other plans, Rosy did not fall

F'arley-Brower combination. SO now
he is Indefinitely suspended.
