of The States. Ritchie, Englishmen admit

They argue, however, that the American

the latter was far from being as good as he
himself and to the world. A man of good
appearance and dignified manners, he rose
in his sermons to oratorical flights the like
of which the Texans of that time had
seldom if ever before heard. In his ornate
fights he tested the strength of the Eng-

London, July 7.— Unless Willie Ritchie
awoke today with a pain in his toe or some-
thing else as terrible the matter with him,
there’ll be a fight tonight at the National
Sporting Club between the American light-
weight champion and Freddie Welsh, light-
weight title-holder of Great Britain.
One of the biggest crowds who has ever
seen a boxing match in London was expect-
ed to see the international clash this even-
ing. Because of England’s comeback in
polo not to mention the Oxford University
track team’s victory in America. English
sporting men today evinced great interest
in the Ritchie-Welsh bout. Both boys issu-
ed the usual prophesy of victory. Both
claimed to be in the best possible shape.
Betting was about even although English-
men, in the majority of cases demanded
and frequently got slight odds on the argu-
ment that Ritchie should be the favorite on
form.
Eugene Corri, Ritchie’s choice, will referee
the mill, which is scheduled to go twenty
rounds. Under the agreement, Ritchie is
guaranteed 815,000 with a privilege of fifty-
one per cent of the gross receipts. In addi-
tion, the American champion gets moving

defense. Welsh they say has the punch and
the stamina, and while not nearly so clever
as Ritchie can stand more of a beating than
the American lad can hand out.

UNDERWOOD AND WILSON
A good deal of surprise is expressed be-
cause of the so-caled “opposition” of Rep-
resentative to the president. It is explain-
ed that this is not the true definition, as
what is commonly termed “opposition” is
simply suggestion. Mr. Underwod has been

powerful leaders ever known in Congress,

Cleveland, July 7— “All holidays on
Mondays,” is the plan which has been work-
ed out by J. F. Hatton, an official of the
Cleveland waterwdks department!. Hat-
ton would also rearrange the distribution
of holidays so that they would fall at ap-
proximately regular intervals instead of in
groups as is now the case. Hatton points
out that his plan would be welcomed by all
workers because ten times each year it
would give them a short vacation of 2%
days. Employers would also endorse it he
thinks because a holiday which falls in the
middle of the week hampers their work.
Washington’s birthday under the pro-
posed scheme would fall on the first Mon-
day following February 22, Lincoln’s day
would be transfered to the first Monday in
April. Then would follow Memorial Day
on he last Monday in May, Independence
Day the first Monday in July, and civic
day the first Monday in August. Labor day
would fall on the first Monday in Septem-
ber as it does now, Columbus day on the
second Monday in October and Thanksgiv-

SOUTH AMERICA AND PANAMA
The Business Men’s League in St. Louis
has been conducting a tour of South Amer-
ica, for the purpose of investigating the
economic situation and calling upon prom-
inent business men with a view to estab-
lishing trade relations. All entertainments
were declaimed by the St. Louis delegation,
because it was explained that this was a
business trip and not a junket. Steam-
ship companies are making big appropria-
tions for an extensive passenger business
during the exposition at San Francisco, and
thousands of people are already making
their arrangements to go from the eastern
cities of California by the new route. How-
ever, it is a source of comment in shipping

and “jammed it through.” He did so well
1 that the success that followed furnished
one of the principal reasons for sending the
Democratic party to power. Now when
Mr. Underwood tells the President that he
thinks Congress should adjourn and give
Congress a rest the incidents heralded
throughout the country as “opposition” on
the part of the Alabama statesman to the
Administration. Somebody has to suggest
things and Underwood’s success makes it
reasonable that he should be one of the
। spokesmen. It is not at all likely that
thre is going to be a clash between the
President and Mr. Underwood, because the
two are on very amiable terms, and the
President has repeatedly expressed his
pleasure that Mr. Underwood is soon to be-
come a member of the Senate. Underwood
is one of those real big statesmen who
thinks for himself, and only the narrow
partisans expect that the President will at-
tempt to deny the distinguished Representa-
tive from the south that privilege, which
some politicians evidently do not attempt.
