1t is very evident that the mo.

caught the popular fancy of Au-

sufficient testimony towards the
cordial reception to be rendered this
quite unusual musical comedy which
will surely spend q profitable visit
here Wednesday afternoon and
evening and leave behind such

have been presented to the Governor
and Council by Secretary CRUDE B.
Cornish Of the State board of chart

essary that a physician, preferably

KEARNS STILL SEEKS
ANOTHER RING CHAMP
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, October 2S.-Jack
Kearns still is looking for a title
holder. Managing a champion is like
disease. Every one, of course, is
looking for q champion. but the one
who has had one and lost him goes
about In his search with the hungry
look of a. dog in search of a bone.
Now Kearns has Napoleon Dorval.
The trouble is that Nap resembles a
piece of cheese compared to some of
the youngsters who are battling their
way to the top. kearns knows enough
about fighters not to bank too much
on him.
But he does think he has a real
asset in Mickey Walker, and he is try
ing to make him over. In Mickey s
fight with Shuttle Callahan the former
welter king tipped the beam at 154
pounds. This lent color to the belief
that Michael was not strong at the
welter limit.
Mickey is not discouraged by his
defeat by Pete Latzo or by being
stopped by Joe Dundee, and he is in
accord with Kearns' plan to send him
against Panama Joe Cans, then Joe
Simonich, finally winding up with
IlSer FlOWeTS lOT IHe Ute. II - d
tough assignment, that last one.
Sid TerriS wants to break away
from his manager. This IS the reason
he has been idle these months. He is
willing to sacrifice thousands just for
the real or imaginary grudge he holds
against the man who made him a
popular drawing card in the greater
city.
On top of this Sid may have to ap-
pear in court to tell why he ran out
on a charity affair. Sid was booked
by his manager to appear, and when
he did not the show was a frost. His
contract has a long time to run yet,
and SO it will be well if he patches up
his difficulties.
