TINKI' VS. LEW - 10 BE REAL FIGHT

Lew Tendler and Pmkev Mitchell, the Milwaukee slat, will exchange punches, more or less difficult to assimilate in ten rounds or less hi the Milwaukee Auditorium arena tonight. That's an old gag about ten rounds or less, but it me-aris something this time. Both bo s are going there to do some damage, and while Mitchell is not famous for Lhe power of his swat. Tendler is. Don't gather from this that anyone is belting that Lew stop the elongated l'inkey, but he, may do that very same thing, l'inkey is a.s game as they make 'em and will have to b" knocked stiff to sop. Pinkey and L-w will unlimber their best boxing wares before more than .noo persons who are paying from $1 to to to see them mix. They will perform before ring notables from East and West and no doubt will deliver the goods as f ir tut actual and earnest milling is concerned, whether they tr:vel ne minute or the alioied half hour.

Have something to rent to the men employed in these great East Side industries and in six months most any rent for these houses will seem reasonable. This is your chance. TERMS ARE EASY. A small outlay of only 1 0 per cent of the purchase price puts you in possession and makes you the landlord.

CAVTOX. O.. May 19. Mike O'Dowd, the St. Paul middleweight, who recently lost the championship. may not be a titleholder. but he is good enough to take the measure of Jack Britten, welterweight champion of the world. O'Dowd demonstrated that when he faced Rritton in a battle of twelve rounds which drew a packed house. O'Dowd was given th newspaper decision, practically all of the ringsidcrs

That the record for the Indianapolis 5nn-mile race will fall as a roult of !h citizens' JiO.000 lap prize offered for this ear's contest is the prediction of Andre Roilliot. French favorite for first honors. '"The citizens' lap prize is the most unique idea ever injected into automobile racing." says Boillot. "and the orig

inator of the plan. George M. Dickson,

president of the National Motor Car & Venicle Corporation, deserves to rank

as one of the major benefactors of the sport.

"With SK'ft a lap as an inducement to stay in the lead, there is certain to be the most sensational competition from start to finish, and as a result I do not see how the existing oftO-mile record can help but take a tumble. "The car in which R-ilph De Talma set

the present record of S!V4 miles an hour in llo was a trine faster than the present crop of 1S3-cubic-inch fliers, but the latter will require fewer tire changes and probably will have to come to the Tits only once for gas and oil. "Much depends, of course, upon the wea'lirr. A hot day. with its deteriorating effect on tires, may mean a lot of tire changes and thereby save the exist, ing record from obliteration. A fairly cool day. however, with ordinary racing luck, ousht to place the average over ninety miles an hour."
