Lad and Other Local Favorites Are Matched Preliminaries: and the semi-windup of Monday night’s athletic card at the Iris theater should provide several smash- ing bouts of the order which George: Coplen’ and’ Harvey Perkins are expected to stage as the climax to the program:}| Lee Parker of Denver, the only boxer on the’ card -who does not.claim Casper as his home, will have the edge in ring KID LEE STOPS YOUNG LANGFORD, AND FIGHTS. ~ WITHA BROKEN HANG Fighting gamely with .a | broken right hand, Kid Lee showed his mas- tery of the fight game by. winning over thé K. O. route from Young Sam Langford. | Langford took the tinal count shortly ‘after the opening of) the eighth round. : ; In vicious fighting in “the fifth round Lee hit Langford with a terri- fic body blow. From that moment he apparently was in pain und slowed up considerably. In the sixth round he rushed Langford and landed terri- fic left hand. punches near the close which put Langford down. he gong saved Sam as the referee was tolling off the count. Fighting was nearly even then until Langford was knocked out in the early part of the eighth round. It was then that the annauncement, was made that Lee had broken his hand. Kid Paul beat Kid Ross by a shade all the way in the other main event and was awarded -a decision. Neither of the boys was in danger at any}. time and the fighting was apparently, very tame, "The veteran. Hadie St. Clair ap- neared against Battling Dickie Wells in the semi-windup number in a scheduled six round event. St. Clair won the event by a technical knock- out, in the sixth round after Wells showed real gameness, although out- classed. ‘The opening number of the bill was a farce match between String Beans and Kid Wells. The only review that could be made is that the String laid down in the first round after he saw how hard his opponent could hit. All of the events were refereed by W. J. Baker,‘:ti--man-aho ‘held the title of heavyweight champion of Colorado for 10 years. Merriman Wins In Golf Tourney PINEHURST, N. C., April 9.—B. P.

Doasts of a larger popular following than any boxer who ever appeared in a local ring, Lack of local talent of Doyle's class led the promoter, George McLeod, to send to Denyer for a man touted as being able to hold up his end in a tough batéle, ‘Three six-round battles make up the preliminaries for the (doubiehead- er bill, Kid Amos being. scheduled to meét Dude Gilmore, Eddie Hathaway is matched with Kid Hansen and Lee Connell Will battle Louis Cordova for ym equal’ distance. Gilmore's last) appearanc; was against Kid Ross two we ago when his weight aided him in forcing the fighting and outpointing his light- er opponent in a, four-round bout. Gilmore jumped into the limelight as a coming amateur at the Elks’ tour- nament last year and in Kid Amos he | will find a ¢lever opponent. | Eddie. Hathaway, who won- two championships in last year’s tourney, is in the best of condition for his fight with Kid Hansen and a smashing go is predicted. Eddie has always given his best in the ring and his aggres- sive tactics set) well with the fans. Hansen has been training consistent- ly during recent weeks. ‘The battle between Leo Connell and Louls Cordova shou’d be one of the liveliest of. the session. Connell was strongly favored for all-round rtham- pion of the Elks’ fistic tourney and in several appearances in the Casper ring he has-put up with rough going to come out victorious.

Dear Sir: I have your circular let- teriof the 1st inst,, making inquiry son ceraty, the operation of the com-| mission manager plan of government | in Manistee. | Manistee was one of the first cities | in Michigan to adopt the commission- | manager plan, which went into effect | here in 1914. “We have a commission | composed of five members’ elected at | large, one each year fora term of five | years. In the: fifth year the senior commissioner automatically becomes mayor. Thé commission names the city manager who may or may not be a local resident. | The commission manager plan has/| given this city a most efficient and businesslike government. Even its enemies admit that. Considerable fault has been found with the fact that | all the commissioners have been elect- ed from the downtown district of the | city. Opponents of the commission plan capitalizing this feeling attempt- ed to put through charter amendments for return of the old aldermanic form at a special election Tuesday of this through a citizen's committee named by the board of commerce made an energetic campaign and secured the retention of the commission plan by a majority of 515 votes. A charter re- vision commission will be elected, how- ever, April 4, to make certain changes in our charter, one of which will pro- vide for representation for the out- skirts, I expect. Our city budget, however, is prac- tically the same as it was in 1913, be- fore the adoption of the commission plan, the increase being approximately 158 POUNDS 135 POUNDS HARVEY PER 185 POUNDS The Pride of the Midwest PAGE FIVE OTHER CITIES DECLARE | FOR MANAGER PLAN, WHY NOT GIVE IT A TRIAL?| $3,000.
