Some Notable Bouts Promised for the Event. (Written for The Advance by "Scâ€" ty‘" Wilson the Barber). A card of highâ€"class boxing bouts unmdjer the auspices of the Timmins Junior Hockey Club, and being promotâ€" cd by Sco‘ty Wilson the Barber, has been announced for Thursday evening, Dec. 16th,. to take place in the New Emâ€" pire theatre. These bouts, which proâ€" mise to excel all others ever held in Timmins, have for the main attraction, no cther than Jimmy McKenzie, forâ€" merly of Timmins and Sudbury, but now working in Jroquois Falls enzie is well known all over Ontario and parts ef the United States Ss a sensational fighter who packs a wicked wallop, and who always gives the crowd their money‘s worth of clean fighting and action. Recently, he fought Kid Williams in Kirkland Lake. Accordâ€" ing to The Kirkland Lake Northern News he decisively defeated Williams, and Williams had a narrow escape from being sent Into the lands of dreams in the fourth stanza but he rallied arnd was given the decision to the great disâ€" gust of the boxing fans and sport writâ€" F3 CA T ers, one of whom sent a report of the fight to The Advance, stating that by such terrible decisions the fighting game was losing its popularity in Kirkâ€" taind Lake. More recen{ly, however, McKenzie got his revenge by defeatâ€" inz "Dutchy" Johnston, also of Kirkâ€" land Lake, and "Dutchy‘"‘ in the op‘nmâ€" ion of many is much to Kid Williams. McKenzie‘s opponent here will be none other than "Mickey" Watts, the Welsh Terrier. In Mickey‘s last fight here he was the most aggressive fighter in the bout with Kid Williams, who did nothing but block and clinch. wWatis did what he could to make a fight of it, but fimnally had to give up in tre fifth round on accoun: of breakâ€" ing a bone in his hand a‘ter he had won, having won every round prior to that unfortunate,. acciden i. However, tixe hand is O.K. wzain and he will be juggling the mitts stronger than ever on the night of the 16th. Jimmy will have to step some to stay with Mickey the ton rounds. In the semiâ€"main bout "Honsy Boy‘ Dave Holland mests Timmins‘ featherâ€" weight hero, Kid Roy Hamilton. Dave has not fought since his sensat ional K. 0. over Seotity Rowan in the nrst mund he is in good condition and proimises ‘to make the "Kid" step on the gas if he wants. to keep up his winning streak. Roy has only lost one bout this season t N NE V _ A mE Y ME . Nee ud .3 0 CC and that to Sonny Casey, of Kirkland Lake. This bout was at Iroquois Falls, and although Roy did lose by slight margin, it was full of action from startâ€" ing to finishing gong. Two weeks ago 1 C ECE in Kirkland Lake Roy defeated Benny | Doherty for the featherweight cham, pionship of Northern Ontario. . Both Honey Boy and the Kid are of the agâ€" gressive type and this bout promises to be one of the best the local fans have ever seen or ever likely to see. In the third bout Freddie Godin meets wee Georgie Ellies, champion of Bowmanville Training School. Reâ€" cently Godin fought T. . Woodman, pride of his class at Iroquois Falls. Godin had Woodman all ready for the: cleaners and in dreamland in the seâ€". cond round when the referee gave the decision to Woodman on a questionable foul, the Gecision ‘being loudly jeered by the fans. Godin was deprived of as swell a K.O. as ever sent a pug into the land of dreams. Georgie Ellies is making his debut bhere with auite an | enviable record behind him at Bowâ€" manville. His string of victories down below looked too good for some of the boys here and it was very hard to find an opponent who would come out and tackle him, for he sure packs dynamite i in both mitts. p.m., at the New Empire theatre, avenue, the depot. PAST GRANDS OF LO.OF. TO PUT ON FIRST DEGREE HERE Timmins LOQ.F. has invited the Past Grands of the town and immediâ€" ate district to put on the first degres at the Timmins lodge this Friday evening, and there has been general response to the invitation. Accordingâ€" ly the event this evening is expected to be one of the most interesting events in Oddfeliowship here for considerable time and a large attondance may be anticipated. The dance given on Thursday evenâ€" ing last in the 1.0.0.F. hall under the auspices of the Timmins LO.L. was a pleasing and successful event. The music by the Club Royal orchestra was good and other features of the evening pleased all HOMER L.

There was genâ€" eral regret that John Faithful was not bowling last Friday, but according to reports was in his bed suffering from a slight cold, but all were glad to see him back at work again, and John says h WRITE is all s to go. The Perth Expositor last week says: "Now that Christmas is just around the comer again one expects to encounter the abbreviated "Xmas" in many places and hear many complaints and protests from those who object to this shortenâ€" ing of the word "Christmas." One obâ€" jection _ to shortening Christmas . to Xmas is the pitfall of pronunciation. With the use of the brief form has grown a tendency to read it "Exmas," an unpardonable barbarism. go proâ€" M Cb wl o t V ) nounced. the word is quite open to the criticisms of it which clergymen and others have expressed. X. however, 15 an abbreviation of Christ, has hisâ€" tory as old almost as Christianity. In catacomb inscriptions it stands for Christos, the first letter being chi. The letter X, the English equivalent of chi meaning Christ, has the sanction of ancient usage unquestionably. Dicâ€" tionaries and encyclopedias include Xmas among the abbreviations of reâ€" cognized standing, also Xn for Christâ€" ian. They do not stismatize it as colloquial or vulgar. â€" Still, there is a feeling for words that impels most perâ€" h ~ m sons with a verbal conscience to spell Christmess out in full. To many Christâ€" mas is a beautiful word, while Xmas is not. On the score of good taste the appeal for the disuse of Xmas is perâ€" suasive. MHowever circumstances can alter cases. Certainly not even the ministry object to use of the contractâ€" ed form in the newspaper headline, where space is as precious as it was on the tablets of the catacombs. Xmas is a respected term to those who look upon the X as symbolical of the Christien cross, and it is unlikely any would object to its use if this symâ€" bolism were universally recognized."
