C., at 112 pounds. Wjray has a good punch but he kept his head covered with his mitts instead of standing up and facing the music and the crowd was glad to see Kraft take the decision at the end of the third round. • This bout was followed by a couple of 150-pounders and fast was no name for their speed, both with their gloves and also with their feet, as they covered more canvas than Gene Tunney could ever have done, Fred Newell of Chicago easliy taking the decision over Fred Holtz, lately from New Orleans. „ The third,bout was between Herb Simons of Lake Forest and Joie Adams Franklin of Chicago. Simons had all the pep and led the fight but Adams had plenty of experience and landed a few good blows and took the decision in the fourth round, although both boxers looked good for several rounds more. The last bout before intermission was between Larry Levette of Waukegan and Billie Bennett, the golden (love holder of the Tribune in Chicago and New York. This was a return match and the decision was the same as before. Bennett is a pretty boxer, he stands right up to his man -and his gloves move fast, but LeVette is just a little faster and hardly ever received a punch and so he easily took the decision as he landed many a blow. The fifth bout was an emergency "bout as Frankie CDeU of Wauconda was unable to appear because of illness. Daniel O'Shay of McHenry, a 124-pound schoolboy, made his third appearance in the ring and took on as his opponent, Dick Thibedeau of Grayslake. In the first place Thibedeau weighs 130 pounds, six more than Danny. Thibedeau has been boxing all winter and has had some pretty hard matches and while he easily took the decision, Dan gave him a few surprise blows that rocked him from the ground up. O'Shay, with experience and training, will make them all in his class look ovt Come on, Dan! Mae Wins Again The sixth bout was a return match between Eddie Peddle of Lake Forest and Billie Blue. Blue seemed to hav$ the bout won in the three rounds, ink the judges disagreed so a fourth round was fought and Blue was easily the winner. Blue was in shape for several rounds more, while Peddle was all in. The last bout was booked for Jack Stevens and Roosevelt Haines at 160 pounds. Haines is a colored boy and is the A. A. U. champion of the Garfield Park Eagles. He is well trained and seemed in perfect condition. Stevens is his match and the first round was very even, but in the sec ond round Stevens landed a glancing blow to Haines' chin that did not affect Haines in the least, but Stevens broke a bone in his wrist, so the decision was given to Haines, winner on forfeit by a broken wrist. As sooq as Stevens' wrist is in shape he will take on Haines again at the Polly. The management, in order to accommodate the Saturday night cottagers up and down the river, has decided to hold bouts Saturday nights. Billie Blue will take on Pep Jennings, Iowa state champion, at 112 pounds. R. Haines will take on Larry Levette and this promises to be a good bout also. Eddie Peddle will mix with Bobbie! Bryant. A1 Simmons will take on Billie Bennett, and the famous heavyweight, Harry Petske, from Antioch, will box Jimmie Smith. This bout will be worth the price of admission alone. There will be other good bouts to fill up the evening Saturday, night of tills week. ,v , Wen M.

There will be lots of swimming with the water front activities in charge of F. A. Parker, a Red Cross examiner and instructor. He knows his "stuff," having been in Scout camps for nine years, so he knows what Scouts want. Of course, Armstrong will be back at camp again this year to blow the bugle to wake the boys up and put them to sleep and to have charge of the mess tent, also Aunt Kate Rittman will prepare the food again and if you don't know her just ask some of the boys who were there last year and they will tell you enough* There will also be a doctor and still another man in camp, so if the boys desire to get on in scouting there will be plenty to help them. Several new stunts will be used this year, including wood carving, nature study, rope spinning and a few others to help keep the boys busy. The camp can accommodate forty at one time. The camp will be maintained and properly supervised by good directors who know what boys want and need. The entire day is planned and programmed, so he can get the greatest possible good out of it. His meals are served regularly and he is not allowed to eat between meals and the only time he is allowed sweets is immediately after the mid-day meal and then only ten cents worth. Parents are asked not to send food or candy to the boys at camp, because he will not be allowed to keep it in his tent. Before the boys can enter the water or take part in any of the more strenuous activities, he must present a certificate of his health from his family doctor, stating that he is physically fit and able to do so. The camp is maintained by the McHenry County Council Boy Scouts of America and it is approved by the National Board of Camping in New York. A Scout is reverent, for every Scout in camp must live up to his religious* obligations just as though he were at home. A non-sectarian service is held in camp and the Catholics are taken to mass at Elkhom. As to sanitation, a doctor will be in charge of this department, inspecting the camp daily. The drinking water and the water from the lake where the boys swim will be examined by the State Board at Elkhorn, Wis.
