Dinners and Dances to Mark
Thanksgiving HOLIDAY

Next Thursday will be generally
observed in Seattle as Thanksgiving
Day. Family gatherings and dinners
will be followed in the usual custom
airy visits to homes of friends and
the sick. Many visitors will spend
the holiday in Seattle to enjoy the
rounds of pleasure. Smiths. Cafe,
Graffells, Nick's Cafe and the Elite
Cafe have arranged to serve sumptu-
Gus turkey dinners to their patrons
and visitors. Many Seattle residents
al eat in the cafes rather than spend
the day cooking in their homes.
Thursday night the Self Improve
ment Club will stage their annual
Thanksgiving ball at Renton Hill
Hall. A number of turkeys are to be
given away free to holders of admis-
sion coupons. A splendid orchestra
has been secured to furnish the music
for dancing. The club has arranged
to take care, of a. capacity crowd at
the dance Thursday night. The Elk's
Home will also be the scene Thurs
day night, of merrymaking. Tate's
orchestra will furnish the music and
also present an entertainment of new
songs and dances. The Home has
been attractively decorated for the
affair and refreshments will be in alb
undance. The motto at the Elks
Home, for Thursday night is,
"Be Early, Stay Late.' The Home
will undoubtedly be crowded Thurs
day night and gay time is assured.

Carter Foley to Battle
for N. W. Championship

The third and deciding contest be-
tween Leslie wild Gait Carter and
Vic Foley will be staged at the Crys-
tai Pool next Tuesday night under
the auspices of Austin & Bishop, Inc.
The crack featherweights meet in
the feature bout of an all-star boxing
show. Both will scale about 1913
pounds.
Carter and Foley met for the first
time at the Crystal Pool last winter.
1t was the Wild Cats fourth main
bout in fast company. At the con-
clusion of whirlwind bout the de-
cision went to Foley. On Septem-
Der "a, of this year, they met for
the second time and again the two
furnished a sensational battle. 1t
was a thriller. This time Carter was
returned victor. and he deserved it.
Thus, with a victory for each, the
contest Tuesday night will decide for
all time which is the better of the
two. The winner will be crowned
featherweight and Junior lightweight
champion of the Northwest, an unus-
ual title inasmuch as it involves two
distinct divisions.
Carter trains daily at 2 o'clock at
Austin & Bishops gym at 1880 Ninth
avenue, corner Olive. He boxes with
Sammy Hammond and Johnny
Woods. Foley trains at 8 O'Clock
and boxes with Joe Calder and Don
Stewart. The public is invited to at
tend the training bouts.

Dixon Wins Hard Bout
With Del Fontaine

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 16.-In q
10-round ring encounter that started
as light skirmish, but gathered i'm.
petus in each succeeding period until
reached climax of sullen ferocity
in the eighth and carried on with
undiminished fury to the final bell,
George Dixon of Portland won a
close decision from Del Fontaine of
Winnipeg, Man., earning the verdict
BY the margin of two-count knock
down, This took place in the torrid
eighth when the slim-colored middle
weight eshowered barrage of short
left and right hooks to the Canadians
head and jaw, crashing right ul-
timately topping Fontaine to the
canvas.
Splitting blood freely as they came
at each other in the eighth, Dixon
rushed to close quarters and slashed
his opponent with murderous as
sortment of blows that first stagger-
ed Del along the rope and then lifted
hlm out of corner and out into
the center of the arena, a powerful
right telling him for count. of two.
Dixon won the ninth, another fur
ious series of hard hitting melees,
and the tenth was so nearly even that
a solomon couldn't have decided it.
The fight was one of the best ever
seen here, with mixture of skillful
boxing, fine footwork and dangerous
hitting. Dixon excelled in ring gen.
eralship and that won him the VIC
tory.

"The Covered Wagon
Coming to Gala Theatre

|
A magnificent epic of the early
west is James Cruces latest Para
mount production "The Covered Wa
gon" which is due to make a trium-
plant return to the Gala Theatre
next Sunday. This perturbation of
Emerson Hough's novel has proved it.
self one OF. the greatest photoplays
ever seen on the screen.
The features embraced in "The
Covered Wagon" are many and var
led and include among others, the
start of $50 covered wagons from
Westport Landing (now Kansas City,
in 1848. The terrors of fording
rivers, prairie fires and the like are
depicted with great realism, A buff
falo hunt is one of the most exciting
scenes. Old Fort Bridger, with a
night attack and fight by day with
Indians, is shown. The dividing of
the trails to Oregon and California
at old Fort Hall, a touch of the, gold
fever in California, magnificent
mountain shots and elimination of
the romance with the establishment
of one of the first homesteads in Ore
gon-these are all incidents in a pic
ture that fairly bristles with big
scenes.
Such historical characters as Kit
Carson, Jim Bridger and Bill Jack
son, scouts and typical western char
acters, are portrayed in Paramount's
screen version of the novel, which is
conceded to be one of the most not
able achievements of the present de-
cade. s.-., l-...-.
j. Warren Kerrigan is the lead
ing man and Lois Wilson, his heroine,
Alan Hale makes a mean villain.
Others in the cast include Ernest
