It is parcularly noticeable that the women re seeking ringside seats. And you certainly hear them cheering and couraging their choice along. Furermore, they are as liable to pick winner as some of the men. At |n intermission one lady was overird to remark to her neighbor that le wished that they would put on a /omen's bout. Well, why notT It > about the only field not covered by he ladies. Boxing matches at the Polly Prim re conducted under the rules and julations of the American Athletic Inion of the United States. The rats are to be three rounds with one iute intervals and if at the end of le third round it is a draw, another sund may be fought. At the close le decision must be for one of the >ntestants, as therescan be no draw it the fourth round. The first bout was a return match from last week with the same decision. Ray Koler, Ft. Sheridan, 135, vs. Dick Thibedau, Grayslake, was a very fast match, with Thibedau taking first, second and third round., without any hesitation. Of course, Koler got his hair all mussed np and lie forgot his fancing dancing and that may account for the third rouitdf decision going to Thibedau. Second Bout--George Taylor failed: to appear but he sent a whirlwind ot a substitute by the name of Franlfrf. •**"" Hughes, of Kenosha,, who boxed with George Campbell, of the Monarch A. C., weight 133. The referee stopped the fight in the first round, giving the decision to Hughes, as Campbell was ; outclassed. « The third bout was fast and heavy hitting but short. Steve Slazis of Grayslake was matched at 165 pounds with Bob Stone of the Belleplaine A. C., of Chicago. Heavy hitting for* most of the round, but Stone slipped over a haymaker and Slazis took th* count just before the first bell. The fourth bout was a lively affai: between Marco Stello of Kenosha am Bob Holderman of Antioch, fighting weight 155. Holderman didn't get started in the first round very good but apparently took the next two rounds and the crowd called a draw and the judges disagreed but as the fourth round was to start the boxing Commissioner gave a decision to Stello. Decision did not meet with the approval of the audience. - After a 20-minute intermission the fifth bout was called. McHenry's ever popular and fast-going little boxer, Billie Blue, was matched at 114 pounds with Paul Starring of the Belleplaine A. C., of Chicago. This bout went the four rounds, with Blue getting the decision. Blue is matched with good stuff all the time and is doing mighty well to get as many decisions as he does. The sixth bout was an extra emergency bout as the two knockouts, etc., was not giving the spectators so much boxing. Bill Campbell of Grayslake took on Jim Redding of Fort Sheridan, fighting at 115. This was an emergency bout but was one of the best scraps of the evening. Jimmie Hull failed to appear for the seventh bout, much to the disappointment of the audience, so the scrap was between Jim Biscardi, a very clever little fighter of Kenosha, and Joe Brown of Belleplaine A. C. This was not a .slugging match, but showed some of the most clever boxing of the evening, Joe Brown getting the decision in the third round. The eighth bout was between Geo. Emroe at 150 pounds and Bud Beyer of Twin Lakes. The first round was a very even affair with lots of heavy blows and the second round started out about the same, with Beyer having the advantage until Emroe loosed a haymaker with his left that put Beyer to sleep until after the count. This was a very good evening's entertainment and for anyone interested in this line of sport you can certainly see a lot. Spectators come from long distances and feel well repaid and a lot more of McHenry's citens could enjoy themselves at these its. Just look at a few of the bouts for next Wednesday. Steve Slazis will meet George Emroe of Belleplaine A. C. Boxing weight, 100. Tom Nagel of Fort 8heridan will box Howard Craft of Grayslake at weight of 112. Joe Brown of Belleplaine and Frank Hughes of Kenosha ought to be a very Close match, as they both won on the Ind of May. They are matched at 133. Billie Blue will take on the Cuban champion, Pedro Bazard, at the weight of 114. Other bouts will be arranged bebore the time nfext Wednesday night, May 9, and don't forget the change in time to 8:45 Central Standard time, on account of daylight saving m m many places.

F. and A. Wt, on Friday evening, April 27. The event was in honor of the oldest members of the Masonic fraternity, many of whom were the honored guests of the evening. The work of the evening was pat on by eighteen visitors, all of'^the workers being sixty years of age or over, who raised their candidate to the sublime degree of Master Mason in a very efficient and creditable manner. The district deputy Grand Master, Charles Wightman, of Grayslake, was present and was introduced and he, in turn, introduced Right Worshipful Brother Roberts, who has the honor of being honorary sword-bearer of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Illinois. Many more of the visitors were introduced and welcomed by the members of thf local lodge. James Ladd of Ringwood occupied the place of honor throughout the evening as he is McHenry's oldest Mason, having been raised a Master Miason on October 11, 1883. There are only two living members besides Mr. Ladd who attended lodge at that time, forty-five years ago. The other two old members are both living far away, John I. Story in Los Angeles, Calif., and Simeon Covell of Portland, Ore., although they were present ia the minds of the members of McHenry lodge on this evening. Mr. Ladd gave an interesting talk and spoke on some of the earlier Masonic history of the lodge. John Claxton and his trusty fiddle furnished entertainment for the crowd after a bountiful cafeteria lunch was served. It was a wonderful evening with all of the older members of McHenry lodge and of lodges from neighboring towns meeting to exchange memories of earlier days and reminiscences of former meetings. It was, also, shown that the younger generation has nothing on the older members when it comes to putting on the work as it should be done. Everyone present seemed to enjoy the evening and are looking forward to another event of this kind, which was planned by Wcrshipful Master F. A. Hitchens and his officers. Reckless Driver Arrests* Gtmtge Grasser, 22, was arregtbfl Sunday morning by State Highway Policeman Phil Guinto, charged with reckless driving, after he had piloted his Ford car into another machine. He was taken before Police Magistrate John McEvoy Monday morning and paid a $20 fine, including costs. Furthermore the young m«n was forbidden to drive a car for one year.

Never before had such a crowd journeyed to the Aurora oval to see horses perform. They were repaid for their trouble by the sight of some close racing and an improved plant. The footing was faster than ever before and horses ran in close to record time through the afternoon. Many records will fall before the end of hp meeting on June 2. The inaugural card was featured by a mile handicap for three-year-olds and up. Flora M won it for the account of J. D. Grant. C. E. Allen had the leg on the daughter of Huon. Shasta Gold had the speed but was weakened in the drive and was beaten half a length for all the money. Shasta Gold saved the place from Serajevo. The hondrs in the first race of the meeting went to Quin Chin from the barn of J. J. Russell. 1 Inzalone rode her. All the winners of the day were well supported and the players quit the afternoon in a mood fully as pleasant as the promoters of the track. On every hand predictions were heard that the glory of the inaugural presaged the greatest summer of racing ever held in Chicago. There will be 158 days in all, divided between Aurora, Arlington Heights, Lincoln Fields and Hawthorne. Homewood, the fifth track in the Chicago district, did not apply for dates this year. Saturday will be another big day at the Aurora course. A six-furlong handicap will head the bill. It is for three-year-olds and upward. G. Drumhiller*s Pat, a starter in the In augural, will be one of the choices here. Pat has plenty of foot and can give almost any man's horse an argument going six furlongs, but the mile of the Inaugural was a little too far for him. A race at a mile and seventy yards will serve as the secondary attraction on the Saturday program. It is an allowance affair and will bring out some of the best horses on the grounds. »4 * *'^"1 75.
