Show THE OGDEN POST Macro Seeks Crown Of Lewis in Hankers Special at Coliseum One of the claiet carde of the season is billed the coliseum toat night, when Joe Maero, Ogden welterweight, and Elvin Lewis, intermoun-tailightweight champion, of Poca main tello, will battle in the event, at catch weights. Maero wil weigh in at 144 pounds and Lewis is expected to tip the scales at 140 six-rou- nd pounds. Maero has been working hard this week to get down to weight and to be in good shape to cope with the colore wizard, whose two victories over Billy Sneddon stamps him as a dangerous foe. This will be Macro's chance of a lifetime to win fame and perhaps fortune. He has a good wallop in either hand and it is thought by his admirers that he can stop Lewis. Lewis, on the other hand, must be credited as being a top notcher here abouts. If he trims Macro he will stand as one of the supreme battlers of the west in the two divisions. "I look for a sensational slugfest," said Promoter Charles Revell today. . "Maero is determined to halt the fine career of Lewis, and Lewis on the other hand hopes to stake short work of Macro. Such a condition makes this main event a natural" The bankers' special tonight promises to attract another capacity crowd. Promoter Revell has made arrange ments to handle a huge attendance. The Maero-Lew- is affair will be supported by a nice card of preliminaries. Irving Nalder, the whirlwind Ogden welter, will meet the New York Kid semi-find in the Both of these fighters have shown their class in the coliseum before and the fans are assured of stem winder in this match. Both fighters are unafraid and expect to put the other to aleep before the fourth round. Harry Mosher and Bryan Mann will mix their stuff in the feature four-roupreliminary. Eddie Parks, having won all of hli starts todate, returns after a lay-o- ff to face the most stubborn opponent he has yet met in Young Newey. Bobby Barr will try to uphold the prowess of Ogden over Mexico when he meets Roybol of our bordering nation, in four rounds. Vernal Spackman and Jack Vaughn, both of Ogden, will again give fight fans of the coliseum a treat like they did last week in the curtain raiser. The first bout tonight will start at 8:30, according to Promoter RevelL four-roun- al nd Blue Pine and 0. S. L. To Play Game Saturday The Blue Pina Soccer team will tangle with the fast 0. 8. L. soccer team at Munroc park Saturday afternoon in the 3rd round of the Shubach Fall Series. The kickoff is slated for 4:30 p. m. prompt. It Is expected a large crowd of fana will attend this league game, as these teams are evenly matched, and both playing a good brand of ball. Ogden leads the league table, and hope to retain their title after Saturday's game. With ideal weather on Saturday this will be one of the feature games of the season. , TTIHE THDADQ- D A Northland Romance by ROBERT W. SERVICE Illustrations by Irwin Myers WNUSsnrta CHAPTER XI She was changed, desperately, pitl- fully changed. All the old sweetness was there, that pathetic sweetness 'which had made the miners call her the Madonna; but alas; forever gone ;from her was the fragrant flower of girlhood. Sorrow had kindled In her j gray eyes a spiritual luster, a shining; tearless brightness. Ah me, sad, sad, was the change In her I , indeed, ; Her lips moved: . "How you have changed I" "Zes, Berna, I have been ill Bnt ; ! you, yon too have changed." "Yes," she said very slowly. "I have been dead." There was no faltering In her voice, ) never a throb of pathos. It was like the voice of one who has given up all hope, the voice of one who has arisen 'from the grave. "Come upstairs where we can talk, said she. So we sat down in one of the boxes, while a great freezing shadow seemed to fall and wrap us around. We were like two pale ghosts meeting in the misty gulfs beyond the grave. "And why did you not comet" she I ! asked. "I would have sold my soul to come X was 111, desperately 111 nigh to death. X w In the hospital For two weeks I was delirious, raving of you, trying to get to you, making myself a hundred times worse because of you. But what could I do! I was out of my mind, weak as a child, fighting for my life. That was why I did not come." When I began to speak she started. As I went on she drew a quick, intently, and when 1 had nnisnea great change came over ber. When she sjwike her voice was a whisper. "And they lied to me. They told me you were too eager to think of ine; that you were In love with some other woman out there; that you cared no more for me. They lied to qie. Well, It's too late now." She luughed, and the once tuneful voice was harsh and grating. Still were her eyes blank with misery. , X longer to comfort her, to kiss that face so white and worn and weariful, to bring tears to those hopeless eyes. There seemed fo grow in me a greater hunger for the girl than ever before, a longing to bring joy to her again, to make her forget. What did It all matter! She was still my love. I yearned gold-gettin- g for her.- We both had suffered, both been through the , furnace, ' Surely from It would come the love tlmt pssseth understanding., "Berna," 1 said, "It Is not too into We have both been miserably duped. Never mind, Berna, we will forget all. I love you. Let us forget and go away nd be happy." .. ,,,v It seemed aa If my every word was like a atab to her.- The sweet face was tragically wretched. ' "Oh no," she answered, "It can never be. You think It can, but It can't. You could nut forget I could not forget We would both be thinking; always, always torturing each other.
