KAPLAN IS CONFIDENT Meriden Boy Sure he Will Defeat Wil- Ne Murphy in Tomorrow Night's Bout. Everything is set for a “big time in the o011 town' at Meriden Friday eve- ning, when Louis “Kid"' Kapjan, the Silver City's promising teatiffrweight takes on Staten Island Willie Murphy in a star 12 round bout at the Auditor- fum. Kaplan, encouraged by his im- pressive wins over Sammy Waltz and Lew “Kid” Lewis, haa been working hard and should be in wonderful shape. The boys will weigh in at 128 pounds at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of the battle. In addition to the main g0, which promises to be one of the scrapplest contests ever staged in a Connecticut ring, there will be an oight - round semi - final, featuring George Lynch of Meriden and Mickey Brown of New Haven. These two lads fought recently on the Elks field day card in Waterbury and Lynch earned the decision. Brown, however, feels that he can improve on his first show- ing with the Silver City youngster. Then there will be a six round go, bringing together Young Leonard of Wallingford and Joe Wanit of Meri- den. Young Leonard, who since his start in the professional ring has chalked up an unbroken string of vic- tories, expects to win without much trouble, but Meriden is pinning its faith in Wanit to put a stop to the borough lads career of conquest. The curtain raiser will be furnished by Young Kaplan and Willie Rose, both of Meriden. Frankie Glennon of Hartford will be the third man in the ring. Ringside accommodations are already difficult to obtain and it looks as if another record-breaking crowd is due to attend the third show staged by the Silver City A. C.

C. clip- ped one-fifth second from the 1500 metre ord, the new time being 3 minutes 55 3-5 seconds. The old rec- ord of A. R. Kiviat, made at Cam- bridge, Mass.,, has stood since June 8, 1912. Ray also tried to lower the world’'s mile record but failed by 3 seconds on account of a stiff wind. Bartky falled in his attempt to lower his 60-yard world’'s record WINS GOLF TITLE Cyril Walker, Englewood Profes- sional, Leads Field in Pennsylvaunia State Tourney At Philadelphia.

A neadline and two pictures upon an inner sheet ' “Landis!" he spoke softly aloud. “Thought so.

And now, as he gazed at it more closely and recognition came, 2 queer expression spread slowly across his face. Many times since the afternoon several months before when, with Mr. Dodge he had viewed the return of Warchester's prodigal son to the haunts of his youth, the drummer had vexed himself with conjecture ccncerning that shabby figure. In one way its familiarity was easily ac- counted for. The drummer had never forgotten that other day, years back, when a cinder-soiled figure stood with the same Airedale which was waiting now on the platform with Abel |Thompson, and watched a plum-up- holstered barouche clatter off up the street. “Gordon James!” he breathed to |himself. Jimmy Gordon! Now, why couldn’t you have guessed that, you poor boob, without a set of pictures to help you! His Own Home Town! O boy—O boy! And I was right around when it happeneq!” Across thc square the gentleman of color had come to his feet, smiling widely, as a pair of high-checked gray horses. harnessed to a bulbous, plum upholstered barouche, rounded Main street corner and came swing- |ing down Front. the clatter of their |feet upon the pavement a marvelous imitation of those hoofbeats which trap-drummers were wont to beat out upon their shells, for the added vividness it lent to motion-picture steeds. There were a man and a girl 1n the barouche, and a pile of worn bags, thickly labeled. Both of them the drummer recognized instantly, but it was a long white streamer of ribbon whipping lazily behind on the breeze |that held fascinated his gaze. “Looks like a—a wedding,” he ven- tured uncertainly, at length, and for once his speech, in the presence of Mr. Dodge, was faltering. The managcr of the hotel could not spare him even a pitying glance at that moment, though his reply came with the patness of a verbatim report. “Jimmy Gordon and Miss Landis, his leadin’ lady . . . married today at high noon . .. St. Luke's . . . that young rector, Blair, officiatin’. Dun- can’'s retired. The barouche was nearing now. It was quite possible to see even from the veranda of the Bay state, the splendid little smile upon the girl's curling lips. The Bay state manager was bending double, and repeating the salute at accurate intervals; the drur:mer found himself encountering Jimmy Gordon's pale blue, mildly amused regard, and suddenly he, too, was upon his feet, bowing, his round face pink, his stiff brown derby in one hari. And Carol Gordon, nee Landis, bobbed her head to him as the bar- ouche rounded up to the platform and delivered them over to Abel. “Where's the plump old party who used to—" He completed the ques- tion by waving a hand in the direc- tion of the disappearing barouche. withering. “Banks!” he said “I guess you ain’t been long in this town. o1 Banks? Bermuda—that's where they said he was going—or Havana. For his health!” He laugher, harshly. “Well, I guess most any of those places are healthier than jail “Hum-m-m,” murmured the drum- mer. “Hurned crooked, eh?” “Never was anything else! Sold out everything he had before he left, except his place up on the hill. Hen- derson's livery bought that rig of his that just brought Jimmy Gordon down to the station. And Jimmy Gordon—why, he used to drive a hack for Henderson, when he was a boy! There ‘was a lot of people in this town that used to run Jimmy Gordon down, till it got to be the fashion. But I—I told 'em. I knew he'd make good in the end.” THE END.

DOINGS OF THE DUFFS There is a Right Grade of Motor Oil for your car Socony Polarine is now manufactured in three “bodies”, scientifically graded to meet the lubri. cation needs of the various types of motor T would be a good deal to expect any one grade of oil, however fine its quality, to lubricate all types of motors perfectly, whether they are new or old, in summer and in winter, and regardless of their differ- ent bearing clearances and systems of lubrication. That is why Socony Polarine is now made in three standard grades—Regular, Heavy and Extra Heavy. Each one of these is strictly uniform and of the finest quality that can be produced by the best modern refining methods. Each one is backed by our fifty years of refining experience and our guarantee. Three Standard Grades of Socony Polarine Oils Socony Polarine Regular is an oil of medium body for use in cars where piston rings and working parts are properly fitted and in good condi- tion, and for use during the winter months where an oil with a low cold test is desired. SOCOI'lY Polarine Heavy is an oil of heavy body and exceptional lubricating qualities. For use where loose-fitting parts require a heavier grade than the Regular, and during the summer months. Socony Polarine Extra Heavy is a special grade manufactured for use in motorcycles, air-cooled motors, slide sleeve motors, slow speed motors, motors with large bore, and those excessively worn by long service.
