c. OF c. DIRECTORS
Vote to Remain In Same Guar ters.- Appoint Memorial
 Day Committee.

At the regular meeting of the board of directors of the Putnam Chamber of Commerce, held last week, It was voted to retain the room in Union block occupied by the Chamber Tor many years.
 The Windham County Farmers As soeiation gave the Chamber notice that the organization is to remove to the Savings Bank Building, April lst. as more room is desired. The asso= citation has been a tenant Of the Chamber since the association was or ganized. The room on the west, which has been exclusively occupied by the Farmers Association, will not be re- tained by the Chamber.
 In response to 8 request from the adjutant of Anselm Mayotte Post American Legion, the directors ap- pointed J. Dyer Potter and Harvey Grinsell to represent the Chamber on the general committee in charge of the proper observance of Memorial Day.
 The directors discussed the matter of a comfort station for Putnam. This need has long been felt but it of. fers a perplexing problem. A com mittee was appointed to make an in vestigation of the situation.

Condition Normal

It is stated on good authority that the autopsy performed upon the body cf Jackson revealed no abnormal con dition. It disclosed nothing to throw any light on Mrs. Jaekson's state. ment that "Will and l had terrible fight over his physical condition" Ii is also said that there was nothing oh- served by those first to arrive at the Jackson kitchen the night Jackson was killed that showed signs of a struggle, and that none of the wit nesses observed that Mrs. Jaekson's clothing had been torn.
 IL is evident from the notes them selves, pinned in contemplation of death. that her love for Rice and her desire to exonerate him of all eon- nection with the death of her hus- band were uppermost in Mrs. Jack sons mind.
 It is not believed that the notes are admissible in a court of law. This Is the expressed opinion of members of legal profession and is born out by the fact that counsel for Rice sought to have the general assembly pass dr act making such confessions admis- sihle as evidence.
 With the knowledge of the con tents of the notes in their possession since the suicide of Mrs. Jackson the states attorney and his investigators have gone forward with preparations for the trial of Rice. There is nothing at the present time that portends that the man indicted by Windham coun- ty grand jury for the murder Of Jackson will not have to stand trial.

JOY professional baseball each sum-
mer.
A meeting of accredited repre-
Sentatives from each town, will be
held this week, the first part, it is
stated by Boston and Wells, at
which time league officers will be
elected, and the business Of start
ing the circuit off, begun.
The question arises as to whether
players of ability can be had in a
league with a $500 per month sal
airy limit, who al be sold.
The ball players going to higher
company today are not the high
priced ones; the fellows drawing the
big Glass D salaries are ones Of
proven ability in that kind Of cir
cult. 1t matters not what you pay
a ball player, if he delivers the
goods, he will be sold, and in this
proposed league of the Valley, they
will naturally be youngsters; that's
what the big leagues want; young
players, with a lot Of undeveloped
talent; that will come with age and
experience.
As an example. the Nebraska
State league sold $4,000 worth of
players one season; all youngsters.
The Valley can do the same.
If each town has a bushes or
g%anization back of its club. which
in reality, is the secret of the sue
cess Of a baseball club.

Shaw Bearing Down
In Preparation for
Tricky Kid Pancho

vile when he battered the highly
touted Johnny Hughes into SubmiS-
sion. it was amazing the number OF
times Pancho could hit Hughes
while the two were going into and
coming out Of a clinch. Pancho hit
Hughes from every angle, and guard

Of the highest company in the box
ing game during the hey day of
Eancho's career, the Valley young
ster will bring into play plenty of
Stamina. courage, speed. and ability
to hit with both hands.
\ Shaw Polishing Up
Shaw in his workouts here has
been trying to ure some of the
faults he has shown in earlier
bouts. He has been improving his
guard for his stomach, which part
Of his anatomy he frequently leaves
entirely exposed in using his left.
He is improving his left jab, hop
ing to keep Pancho at a distance
with it, and is also working for
more power and accuracy in his
haymakerS, which he swings from
the right side. He says nothing
about it, but friends watching him
III training express the belief that
Shaw has hopes Of scoring a knock
out.
Pancho, in spite Of his years Of
boxing and the terrific pace at
which he has hit the boxing game,
will be in good condition in the
fight here Monday night. He can
go ten rounds in almost any COM
pany. and the ardent fans of the
Kids, in which class hundreds are
to be numbered in the Valley, be-
lieve that he will have an easy time
with Shaw.
Not those who have been follow
ing Shaw, however. They are firm
in the belief that Shaw will land
frequently and hard, and that he
can take all Pancho has, and re-
turn treatment of a similar kind.
Interest Pre-Aroused
1t will be an interesting fight in
many respects. If Shaw wins, it
may mean a steady rise for the
Valley youth, n of a large crop Of
promising youngsters this section
has developed since boxing had its
revival in the Valley a couple of
years ago.
Shaw said he would probably
weigh in at 1875. Pancho usually
fights under that weight.
To the spectator it may look like
fun. when the two boys meet. But
to be in the ring-what an expert
Cnce to face either Of them. Pancho
has the savage, cunning look of
confidence Of a tiger. Shaw has the
ferociouS, uncomfortable look of the
lynx.
Promoter Al Robinson has lined
up some nifty prelims, and included
among them is an eight round go
between JACK Revis, Of Mercedes,
and Homer kid Goodman of
Brownsville. They weigh around
$50 pounds.
Revis. the former Valley idol of
his weight. has been out Of the
squared circle for over a year, but
the sound of leather, and the glare
Of the lights, the crowd, and all that
was too tempting for him, so he
takes on the walloping Kid from
Brownsville; a favorite in those
parts, and a steady battler.
