AND PATHE COMEDY ffe; |r iv POLLY .MtIM PUTS ON ANOTHER GOOD CARD Little Bloodshed Before Intermisskin But Seme Real Mixes Occur Laiter On Ei*ght good bouts were pulled off At the Polly Prifti Tuesday night, Sept. 11. three of the bouts going four | rounds, with slight changes in the J boxing officials. Chuck Hendersen of j Chicago was judge in place of Mr. j Hamburg from Fox Lake and the chief ! boxing inspector of Illinois, Ed Topol- | aski, acted as bqxing commissioner. ! The curtain raiser was between two j well known boys at 130 pounds who have each made several appearances j at the Prim, Jimmy Raymond of Chi- | cago, who was the fastest on his fest, j and Mort Maxidon of Waukegan, who I was taller and had a much longer j reach. This, was a very even match, the ftnrt th*4e rounds were just about even and t|e judges called for a fourth JUSTUS* RAOM MOTOR 'SUIT STAKTKD TO TRIP IN LAKK REGION COIXECT, WARRANTS (Continued from front page) Mr. and Kirs. C. E. Martin and Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Martin Finish 1,600-Mile Tour • Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Martin and Mr; and Mrs. F. E. Martin returned home/ Sunday evening, after a week's motor trip through Wisconsin, Michigan and Canada. They traveled almost the entire length of the state of Wisconsin to the upper peninsttla of Michigan, where they crossed at Sault Ste. Marie by means of a ferry, into Canada. They then entered lower Michigan where a day was spent with relatives of Mrs. C. E. Martin, at Hubbard Lake. They also crossed the straits of Mackinac from Port Huron to Sarnife, Canada, on the ferry, the trip taking about one hour. They visited Windsor, Ont., where they ferried back again to the United States. WMle we never see a ferry in round andlgave the decision to Ray- this locality they are quite common in mond. Bofcb boxers were about all, the north and are much in use and those in Michigan are owned and oper- The second bout was at 140 pounds between Jack Celesnick of North Chicago and Rusty Hoskins of Genoa City, Wis. This was also a very close bout ated by the state. The return trip was made through Michigan, thus taking the tourists around Lake Michigan after they had with tKe fourth round decision going J seen Lake Huron and Lake Ontario to Hoskins, although many of the fans j The road led four miles through dense thought Celesnick should have won ! forests w^i^e spots devastated by foron points. „ TTie third bout was at 135 pounds and one of Waukegan's colored boys who has made many appearances at the Priln, George Taylor, took on Lou Stanley, also of Waukegan. It is j roads, many of which were made of est fires wes^ seen and where it is said many wild animals make their homes. The trip, which covered about 1,600 Tiles, was made over the best of pretty hard for a colored boy to get a decision unless they win by a knockout. consequently Stanley won by de cision, although Taylor, without a doubt, won the first and second rounds. The fourth bout was at 135 pounds and Joe Brown, who has been here before, took on Jimmy Barnett of Gary. Barnett is one of those real dark colored boys, wiry built, well muscled and fast, but he took an eight count in the first round and a nine-count in the third round. Brown was an easy winner in the third round. During the first four bouts of a* good boxing as could be wished for there was not one drop of blood shed. Following the usual fifteen minute intermission, Ray Miller of Richmond at 155 pounds bit off more than he could chew in trying to subdue Joe Drinka of Waukegan. Joe is fast and clever and has had much experience and Miller, with proper training, will develop into a first class fighter. He is tall and fast with a long left but as yet he doesn't think fast enough to make a good boxer. Drinka easily won in the third round. The sixth bout was probably the> most evenly matched one of Che evening. DeForrest Jane of Harrington, with much speed and no experience and an overwhelming amount of courage, attempted to stop Ernie Jokinen of Waukegan. Jokinen is altogether too good for Jane's class and in the! first few minutes of the battle blood was spurting from Jane's nose and from then on it was a gory battle, but Jane had plenty of courage and continued to do his best up to the time that the seconds threw in the sponge in the third round and Jokinen won by a technical knockout. We .would like to see Jokinen and Leavitt in a tenround bout some time-jr-it ought tQ be good. The seventh bout was between a colored boy from Jack Johnson's gymnasium, Haywood Story, billed as the black shadow. Story is so good that the judges could not help but give him well crushed rock, and was a most pleasant and interesting one COUNTY BOARD NAMES GRAND JURY MEMBERS insurance companies had paid into the fire protection fund. Aid. Knox asked how many agents had paid the insurance Money due the city and also how many had paid for gas station privileges. "If all are paying, I will pay $25 tomorrow," said Aid. Knox, "if they are not and this board does not intend to collect we had better repeal the ordinance, for what does it amount to?" Stoffel wished to know if anything had been done about collecting the sewer and water street, installation charges on Waukegan road\at the Count's property. As this was a mechanics lien and of more than two years' standing, it is doubtful whether the property is holding for the amount or not. On motion by Doherty, seconded by Frisby, that the firemen injured in the accident of over a year ago be paid aB soon as fire insurance companies turned in their full quota, the motion was carried. Paving Ordinance Passe* The estimate of over $11,000 for paving on the Crystal Lake road was read, which shows there will be no public benefits and the entire cost will be borne by the property owners. The ordinance was accepted by the 'city board. The Owen, Stenger and Allen plat for the subdivision in the woods adjoining the golf course was submitted for the approval of the board. As tie streets laid out are 40 feet, the board rejected the plans until the strmta are made 50 feet. Aid. Bonslett said, "What are- we going to do about collecting damages The following list of grand Jurors from Beller and Keg for the breaking was selected by the members of the j 0f ^he sewer where crossing Boone county board at the regular Septem- (jregk ?"

Presidential year has the reputation! of „ being a hard one and it seems that this year will be no exception as the Terra Cotta factory has laid off several of its men from McHenry as well as Crystal Lake and every employee has received a cut of ten per cent in wages. Employment in this vicinity is very scarce and conditions will probably not improve much through the winter. Living is the highest that it has been in years with prices of groceries and meats Boaring to record-breaking heights.
