* . 5 ” 4 DRUMMIE. SHADES ‘CHEEKA’ BROWN Waterbury _Boy—aSurprise fo Even His Ardent Friends The 2,000 or more boxing fans that crowded their way through the gates at Hanover Park last evening, were treated on one of the best exhibitions ever staged by the Lenox A. C., when Chic Brown of New Haven and Johnnie Drummie of Waterbury fea- | tured in a 12-round star bout. Had it not been for the wonderful battle put up by these boys, the show would have been a rank failure, due to the Poor showing made by psuedo boxers in the opening bouts. Dave Fitzgerald of New Havcn refereed the bouts in his usual satisfactory manner, and Hugh Rorty was the announcer. Dur- ing the evening, several well-known celebrities of the ring such as Willie Jackson, Valgar were introduced. The usual coterie of “hams’ with challenges to meet anybody in the state, New Eng- iand and the world were on hand. A K. O. and a Farce. After Jimmy Jenkins of Meriden haad proved his superiority over Charlie Brown, also of Meriden, for the second time within a few months, the bout only lasting thrce rounds, a sickly 16oking individual named ‘‘Young" Tede!! heraldec as hailing from Brook- 151 h a nice pair of green trunks, cittaded into the ring to meet Joe Cur- rie of New Haven.

Petrograd, Sept. 7.—At today's session of the trial of Gen. Soukhom- linoff, former war minister, who 1is accused of high treason, much time Charges matter with Wiltse will never be known, maybe. If he discontinues to appear in the ring he may get along in this world. The sides of the crowd grew sore from laughing, as the “bout"” progressed. Wilson, does not know much about the game, but re- garding Wiltse's knowledge less can be sa:d. The latter fought a dirty battle, continually butting his appo- nent, for which he was warned repeat- edly by Fitz. After each warning ‘Wiltse would shake hands, but Wilson Brew sore at Wiltse's efforts to be- come chummy, and after-a while ig- nored his opponent. The Hartford boy hed a peculiar shift, unknown to any follower of the game, and after the tenth round the crowd began to guy him. Calls of “shift’” would be responded to by Wiltse, and when the bell sounded for the end of the bur- lesqué, Wilson shook hands and as he turned to go to his corner Wiltse made a kick at him. Such fellows as Wiltse are certainly no credit to the game, and if such as he and “Bedell” are se- Lcured for future exhibitians, the same treatment accorded Hartford county in regard to béxing may be New Ha- Vven county’s fate. Drummie and Brown Draw. A mighty cheer greeted the star- bout performers on their appearance, Waterbury and New Haven friends of both boys were out in abundance. Drummie was the first to appear and ? with him was George Mulligan, his manager, and Joe Shugrue, his train- er and advisor. Brown was not long after in appearing and he also was accorded an ovtion. Very little pre- liminry detail was gone into by the boys, and when the wraps were re- moved, both evinced the flnest of condition. The little Italian southpaw from thé was devoted to correspondence be- tween the defendant and Prince An- dronikoff designed to show their in- timately friendly relations, and to the~testimony of the former minis- ter of the interior Makaroff and a certain Colonel Eremin. Both Makaroff and Col. Ermin ‘told | of having warned Soukhomlinoff | about alleged suspicious acts of Col. | Miasoievoff. Col. Eremin testified that he told the defendant that Mias- olevoff, while in Berlin, received much | attention from Emperor Willlam, who | frequently invited him to breakfast | dinner. The witness said that | Soukhomlinoff was not impressed, | saying that there was no proof against Col. Miasolevoff. 'ENROLLMENT DECREASES. New. York, Sept. 7.—Hstimates of decreases from ten to 20 per cent. in the number of students at eastern col- leges this fall ,due to the war, have been made from the regulation figures and numbers of undergyaduates from each college who are known to have enlisted according to an announce- ment made here today.

That wicked left which has brought him fame, was working like a piston, although Brown's judgment on distance was not # the best. He landed a few hard ones in the get-away stanza and at the bell had won the honors. Drummie came. out fresh in the second round and shawed that he was not afraid of Chic, and boring in time and again he evened up the battle by taking the round. The fourth was even and the Brass city lad shaded Chic in the fifth, n the sixth Brown sent home his best ~ rap of the night when he rocked Johnnie's head, but the latter kept coming along for more. As the mill progressed Brown slowed up for a time, and Drummie plled up points fast. The tenth round went to Brown by a margin. In the eleventh the Elm City star tried * hard to put the “Mary Ann” over, but % % » W % ) the elusive Drummie hopped in and put, st times bewlildering Chic. Again In the closing stanza, Brown kept on top of Drummie, but near the end of the round the former stopped sev- eral solia smashés to the head and jaw, while not hurting him much, tended to stop his rally. It was Drummie’s bout on points. B. AND. M. EMPLOYS WOMEN.
