Portland recently in one of the most
bitter ring contests ever witnessed

the best of it until the fourth round,
when Ketchell landed his left hay
maker and knocked Dixon into the
ropes. George got all tangled up in
the ropes and was unable to untangle
himself, when an excited referee
stopped the bout, raising Ketchell's
hand in token of victory. A near
riot followed this action, the major
ity of the fans believing that the ref
eree's action was unjust. Nate Drux-
man and Joe Waterman witnessed
this. scrap and Immediately re-
matched them for Seattle.
Both Ketchell and Dixon are
punchers. Both are game, tough and
aggressive. Dixon is the only boxer
who ever knocked out Paul Delaney.
In fact, George has won of his last
10 matches by knock-outs. Ketchell
also has been bowling them over

Duke Ellington and His Famous
Orchestra are about to begin a six
months tour of motion picture the
aires for the Paramount-Publix cir
cult which will take this celebrated
organization into most of the large
cities of the East and Middle West.
Except for an occasional engage
ment here and there, dance lovers
will not have an opportunity dur
ing this period to step to Che favorite
music of Harlem's aristocrat of jazz,
unless they pick up the Duke via the
radio, for he is expected to broad
cast at least once in almost every city
he visits.
Although the last Ellington dance
tour was a tremendous success. the
Duke and his band we're such SEN
sation on the stage, particularly dur
ing their four engagements within
six months at the Oriental Theatre
in Chicago, that Publix theatre off
cials prevailed upon Irving Mills, his
personal manager, to book another
tour of their circuit.
| 1t is probable that at the conclu-
sion of this route the Duke and his
men will go to Hollywood for an
other motion picture. although in.
sistent demands of ballroom man.
ayers everywhere for the attraction
may upset these plans and make an.
other dance tour imperative.
The Ellington unit is dividing its
time this month between independ
ent theatres in Philadelphia anc
Washington, following which it plays
one week at the Stanley Theatre ir
Jersey City, then begins its Para.
mount route.
