with Mr.. Farley will be John Crosby,
Assistant Attorney General in the
Wilson administration. DR. Henry
Crosson, president of the Friendly
Sons, will preside. A half-hour re-
ception will precede the banquet.
Realizing that st. Patrick was
himself originally only an English
man or a Frenchman (the records
are uncertain), the Districts Irish
are being broadminded tomorrow.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians
has invited as its speaker Repre-
sentative Sasscer OF Maryland, who
''hasnt drop of Irish blood in his
veins"
At the Representatives Office it
was announced that he is very
much f1attered" by the chance to
speak, and will discuss modern Ire
land, famous Americans, St..
Patrick and the Order of Hiber-
mans. James B. Flynn will be toast
master at the dinner, also to be
held at 7 pm. in the Mayflower. A
dance will follow.
To Pay Tribute to Barry.
The Irish War Veterans will honor
q Revolutionary War hero who cap
tured three British ships. At pm.
in Franklin Park they will lay a
wreath by the statue of Commodore
John Barry, a native of Tacum-
shane, Ireland. Representative
Joseph ]. O'Brien of New York will
pay tribute, after the ceremonies
are opened by G. L. Cassidy, ma
tional junior vice commander, and
Michael Casey, local commander.

The bright lights of the big time
boxing ring are looming for Billy

with Eddie Murphy for the July
3 bouts here.
Mccain received word yesterday
from Seattle fight promoter Nate

the special event billing to fight
Davy Ward, Northwest welterweight
champion, next fall, provided Nc
Cam scores a win over Murphy on
the third and over Slugger Weaver
on Labor Day to claim the champ
ionship of Alaska.
Training each evening at the
ALB. Rink from Sis to $50 o'clock,
McCann is showing spectators a
new brand of speed and punch that
should take him to Seattle.
They say Mccain is tossing a
pretty left hand and every now and
then throws dynamiting right at
sparring partner Eddie Powers that
really hurts.
Dean Hamlin, McCann's manager,
says Mccain will go in at 146
pounds and whip Murphy.
