Smoker Here

One of the largest crowds ever
to assemble at the Fraternal Hall
was on hand to witness the title
bout between champion Nevada
Nightmare VS.. Lightfoot Elder as
presented by the Protective Order
of Dining Car Walters. This bout
which ended in a draw proved to
be very popular with the fans, with
many feeling the champion had
the shade. The elder lived up to
his name, in fact. to the extent
he is to be renamed for the return
match (By public demand) Light
foot Bob Pastor) Elder. The
champion at no time seemed to be
in danger but lacked the speed
of his fleet-footed opponent. 1t
is believed the champion will use
skates or bicycle in the coming
battle. The title will again be at
stake when these two meet some
time in August, and real treat
is in store for all. The card was
supported by two other bouts. a
curtain raiser between little AL
phonso Scruggs VS.. William Thur
man, three rounds, the decision
being awarded to Scruggs. Mr..
Richard Harris, one of Portland's
outstanding athletes of past years,
proved his ability as a fighter in
the showing he made against Ro-
bert Arnold, ex-golden glove
champion from st. Louis. Keep
your eyes posted for the poster
announcing the next big smoker.
Credit for this outstanding sport
ing event goes to Otto Rutherford,
promoter and Edward G. Simms,
match maker.

KATE'S ADVICE

Are you the type of person who
is easily discouraged? Do you
have hard times completing tasks?
If you are young person and you
do face such difficulties, it would
be wise for you to master them
now. Many young people plan to
do something to help the nation
as well as themselves in the fu-
ture, but because of discouraging
remarks about their career they
cease to plan. Such people do not
stop to realize that they are not
only hindering progressive projects
but that they are also harming
themselves. In spite of the lack
of encouragement at everything
we do, we should go on with a de-
termined mind. 1t is very import
ant that young men and women
attending high school or college
should always have determined
minds because their parents en-
dure SO much to help them to at
tend school and develop their aims.
Many things are actually tire
some and disgusting, but all such
things are not hopeless. Life is
just like the work of a seamstress:
threads that break and cause
heartaches until one has the nerve
and determination to conquer. Ev-
erything and everyone may seem
against you, but if we had encour-
agement for each think we do,
there would be nothing to fight
for in this world of trials and tri-
bulations. Complete any task that
you may face. Complete it with
inward courage and nerve.
If you have any problem that
you would like to have a young
girl explain psychologically, write
to Kathryn Turner, $40 N. E. Til
lamook st.
