It is business with this particuar young gent of copper color to attempt "to knock tho other fellow's block off" iu the ring. Clonic Talt, twenty-three years old. n Canadian by birth, having his first breath of life nt Edmonton. Alberta, Can., and a half-breed, is the gentle man referred to in paragraph one. Clonic Is making his home in Chicago at lii nrpnent time, and making life miser able for the lightweights around that section. After finding himself out of opponents in Canada, Tait rroMed the border about two years ago. llofnre Invad.ng the United States Clonio won the light-' weight championship of Canada by knocking out Johnny O'Lcary In ten rounds, and latter made it unanimous by stopping O'Lcary again, this time In five rounds. In the ring, it is said. Tait emulates liis rcd-skinncd forefathers, with the exception, of course, of war-paint and war whoops. Clonie is a fighter from the drop of the hat. according to critics who have seen him go. From the open ing gong until the finish. Tait is like an unleashed tiger, they say, aud what a puncher! . . . , . A glimpse at Tait's record hhows liist how hard he hits. Starting his career in 1015 Clonie has -towed awav more than half of hi- opponents by the knockout route. All of which is some record. They do Miy tho Indian hits as straight as an arrow with h right hand and is tho best starboard socker in the country.

Catholic High's cxtra-noriod victory was tho result of a field goal by Clifford just before time was called. Catholic High started the week with a record which made the Purple and Gold loom up dangerous, nnd critics predicted that Coarh Markwnrd's squad would bear watching. Tho victory over St. Joe was the third straight Catholic League triumph for the boya Bportlng the Purplo and Gold. It was n great uphill climb. Arc they going to 6top? Ask any of those ardent cage fans from Catholic High. Starting tho scatm with anything but bright prospects, Catholic High lost to St. Joe, und then to Villnnova. Things looked rather blue. Then came the Ln Salle gamo, which was won by n close score.

Tho former is tied with Buttcrworth for tho lead, neither having lost a game, but Butter worth has played two more games than the Calhoun outfit. These clubs staged a play-off to decide the first half championship and Baldwin won. Dobson has not yet recovered from the bhock nnd has since been plan ning retengc. There is no denying that Dobson has improved sinco thnt time nnd bus every hope of putting the loco motive builders completely out of the second scries, which n defeat will do.
