BOXING AT WILLIMANTIC. Athlotic Club to Put On a Card of Four Events. The Windham Athletic club, through its matchmaker, Harry Denman, has announced the fourth of this season’s boxing exhibitions that is scheduled for next week. There will be four bouts of the card, and the princlpals in the main and semi-final goes have already signed for the matches. The ! star bout will be between Joe Yvanni of Troy, N. Y., and Joe Gorry of Bos- ton. The latter is one of the boxers ‘being handled by Bill Cox. Yvanni is the Italian who recently boxed with Block Harris of this city in a ten round go before the local club and | made such a favorable impression with the spots in this viconity. Homer J.

New York Heavweight Springs Into Prominence Among the “White Hopes.” Of the two mew heavyweights in the game we might say Al Palzer of New York is the most promising, is the To Make Jewett City Go Some. The Taftville basketball team will go to Jewett City tonight, as Jewett City is so anxjous to get back at back at Taftville for the defeats which they got in Taftville Tuesday night. Both teams will have their strongest line- ups. The Taftville linesup wil be: C. Porter center, White and Captain Mur- phy forwards, Revell, Fountain and Jackson guards, A. Aberg sub. Jewett | City’s lineup wlil be: Wakefield cen- ter, Captain I/Heureux and Popham guards, Jodoin and Blake forwards The Taftville boys will maite Jewett City step pretty livesly. The boys will leave on the 7 o’clock or 8 from Tafts station, The boys will expect a big crowd of rooters to accompany them. John B. Answers Baltic. Mr, Editor: In answer to the inquiry regarding the game between Baltic and the U. S. Finishing Co. last Saturday, I will say that I did not award the Finishing company a point because Dumfield was covering a man with the ball out of bounds, as the inquiry osks for; but the point was awarded be- cause Dumfield after being repeatedly while the man from the opposing team was throwing the ball in, and not heeding the warning, the Baltic team was penalized one point for delaying the game. Next time the inquirer had better stick his head under the show- er bath before the game startz and he will then probably hear things right. Signed JOHN B. BENOIT. Jan. 17, 1912, Laurel Hills Defeat Occum 24-112. The Laurel Hills went to Occum opinion of a western sporting author- ity. At least he has not been beaten and has done more ta lift himself to the top of the heavywelght division, inasmuch as he has beaten Al Kauf- man, considered a better man than any Morris has whipped. Palzer looks to be the real class in fighting etook. Of course he needs ex- perience and a lot of it but he did mighty well to finish Kaufman in five rounds. O’Rourke is managing the big lowa Yarmer and will have him at the top in a short time if such a thing is possible. Palzer is built a little on the order of Bob Fitzsimmons. He hag very small legs, ordinary hips, big shoulders and ® long reach. He weighs more than F¥ts did when the “human frackle” was fighting for the champlonship and this is to his advantage. Palzer has never been knocked out. He started in the game about a year ago and was nursed along by O’Rourke i until he began to show some promise. Then he was sent against some fair heavywelight boxers in the east and ade good with a vengeance. His first mportant engagement was with Ken- nedy, and Tom outpointed him' slight- ¥, but it was 2 hard ten round battie, After boxing Kennedy, Palzer looked lo have the proper experience to do omething. He was therefores sent against Al Kaufmaxm and he surprised the fistic world by finishing the big Californian in flve rounds One year ago Kaufman was consideted the only logical man to send against Johnson. 8o Palver has really done as much as has Flynn in the way of whipping real &0od opponents. Flynn whipped XKauf- man in ten rounds, the fatal punch teing ment over in the last session. Cubs Produce Managers. Bix men who have prayed with the Chicago Cubs will be managers of big league teams this year—Clark Griffith, Jimmy Callahan, Frank Chance, Bill Dahlen, Johnny Kling and Harry Wol- verton. They are evently scattered be- tween the two big leagues. Grifith was the first to break into the managerial game, and was followed by Callahan, who led until Pleider Jones took the job with the White Sex. Chance was the third to try his hand as a leader. Bill Dahlen jumped into the managing end in 1810. Wolverton has had many minor league jobs as manager, while Johnny Kling will make his start with the Boston Nationals. A Qirl's Wild Midnight Ride.

New York, Jan. 17.—Although there was no decided disturbance of level of prices, the stock market to- | day was appreciably wealker. The list lacked the undertome of firmness of the earlier days of the week, Stocks were under moderate pressure most of | the day, but losses were small, and Union Pacific and Canadlan Pacific were the only prominent issues which receded as much as a point. The movement was listless, without ag- gresslve action on either side. To- ward the close the demand improved ahd the eariier losses were quite gen- erally recovered. The increassd demand for invest- ment isswes was perhaps the mest sig- nificant feature of the day. The de-~ mand was apparent in both honds and | the higher grade of investmeat stocks. | Buying by financial Institutions which are unable to loan funds at profitable rates, owing to the condition of the money market, i3 a considerable fac- tor in the situation. A good inquiry for the new Rock Island bonds, both at home and abroad, was reported. The reception of this issue, the first actual marketing of bonds on a large scala of the year, was awaited with i keen interest as a test of the market. ‘With its success indicated, it is re- garded as probable that other rafl- road fssues will be announced soon. The tobacco stocks and bonds and the coalers, of late the active features of the list, again were the strongest issues, although their gains were smaller than on yesterday. The Am- erican Tobacco preferred old and new stocke, the Liggelt and Myers issues, Lorillard preferred and American Snuff preferred rose from two to five points each. Among the coalers, Cen- itral Raflroad of New Jerssy was marked up four points to 387, another high record price, The movement in the tobacco stocks was highly spec- ulative, beifig attributed to manipula- tion in conneection. with the marketing of the new tobacco issues. National Biscuit rose four points to 148, a new high record, and geveral others of the specialties gained lesser amounts. American Malting preferred made a three-point gain. Missouri Pacific was unusually active late in the day and advanced a point. Announcement that the last of the idle mills in the Pittshurg and Sharon district of the United States Steel cor- poration was to resume operations was without effect upon .the steel stocks, which moved with the ges 1 market.

Gives Fans Chance to Tell Who is at Bat. Directors of the Pacific Coast Base- ball league at thqir annual meeting have adopted a schedule and decided to number all players. According te plan agreed upon, each player will wear on his left slesve a number assigned to him. This number also will appear upon the score card. Thus when a player is replaced or when, until the game starts, there is doubt as to who will play any posi- tion, reference to the score card will show the spectator who the player is. The season will open April 2 and close Oct. 27. The double umpire sys- tem will obtain, Perie Casey, formerly of the Portland team, and Sam Mertes, an ex-National leaguer, having been added to last year's staff. Another umpire is to be chosen. Funeral of Lefty Marr. New Britain, Conn., Jan. 16.—The funeral of Charles (Lefty) Marr, the idol of the Cincinnati baseball fans in 1890 and 1891, was held this afternoon, burial being in Fairview cemetery. The once great batter and fielder was low- | ered into a lonely grave, unattended; by friends. There was no one to shed | 4 tear, no one to grieve at the death of | the man who had once set the base- ball world on fire by his phenomenal and his assistants, There was no cere- money. The body was lowered to its final resting place, and “Lefty” Marr was but a memory, 20 to 1 Shot Wins Race.

Great Records Made on Track and " Road-—Burman’s Mile in 254 the Sensation. - Pessimists who have been raising an outery as to the decline of interest in motor contests must “pull in their horns” if they calmly review the situa- tion and give an unbiased opinion. Mo- toring had a great vear, and 1911 will g0 down in history ds one of the great- est the sport has ever known, says the Chicago Tribune. In only a few branches was there any falling off in the number of contests, and those are the ones which the pessimists insist are the most desirable—reliability runs and hill- climbs. There were just as many road races—more, in faect, than in 1910—and while there were not quite as many manufacturers supporting the sport as there used to be, still, the pro- moters are not complaining. Hill climbs suffered most of all, but that is because there ares really few good grades in this country that can be used for the pyrpose. There were not so many reliabilities, it is true, but those that were run off were of the su- perior sort, the kind that really benefit the industry. Probably the most sensatiopal per- formance of 1911 was the mile straight- away record created at Daytona, Fla., by Bob Burman in the Blitzen Benz, whose 26.4 seconds is equal to the startling pace of 142 miles an hour. An- other demonstration of the speed of the motor car was shown at Santa Monica, Cal., last October, when Har- vey Herrick, in a National, smashed the world’s record of hour, whizh had stoou since 1908, when Nazgaro, in a Fiat, established the mark in Italy, raising the standard to miles an hour. This was at a distance of 208 miles, and that the breed” of the automobile has been im- proved was further instanced at Sa- vannah, where Ralph Muiford won tha Vanderbilt in a Lozier, with an aver- age of 74.09 miles an hour, while in the Grand Prix, David Bruce-Brown, in a Fiat, averaged 74.45 miles an hour for 411 miles. That the Nazzaro high-water mark is easily negotiable is instanced not only in those cases, but from the fact that in the 26 road races that were run in this country in 1911, there were 16 cars that averaged better than 70 miles an hour. Of the 26 road races there wers about half e dozen that can be regarded as premier events; the others were curtain raisers to the big shows. The Grand Prix, being an in- ternational race, naturally attracted the most attention. That saw David Bruce-Brown in a Fiat in a “come- back” role. e won in 1910 anHd re- peated in 1911, Harry Grant tried hard to win the Vanderbilt for the third time, but the cup went to his team- mate, Muiford, in a Lozier. The Blgin National, the stock car champiosnhip, Was won by Zengel In a National, while the fourth of the big classics, the Fairmount park road race at Philadel- phia, was taken by Erwin Bergdoll, a young millionaire, who drove a Benz to vietory. Out on the Pacific coast they had two doad meets. At Oakland Bert Dingley, in a Pope-Hartford, won the free for all, while at Santa Monica this honor fell to Harvey Herrick in a Na- tional, and brought about the creation of a new world’s record.

In a recent igsje of a publication in Shanghal appeared the following: “Though regret would be feit at losing sight of the China pony galloping with the red wagon through dense Shanghai traffic, the fact cannot be ignored that e superior power and effective brakes of the motor impelled fire engine allow of 50 per cent. greater speed with probably 100 per cent. more safety to passersby, and it is % be hoped that Shanghai will soon possess none but motor propelled firé fighting appliances.” When a brake approaches the limit allowed for adjustment, have the blocks renewed. Guard against frayed wire ends com- ing in contact with the magneto. If they do it will cease to produce sparks. To prevent heavy oil from sticking to the side of a tin measure, all that is necessary is to rinse the measure out with gaseoline. In case a nut is lost and another onw of similar size is not at hand, tem- porary repalrs may be effected by using one slightly larger. This can be made to it by hammering it untfi it assumes an oval shape. By heating stiff oil and grease to a semi-fluid state in cold weather, 1t will be found that the wory of filling grease cups will be greatly f‘acilil:xfied. “It ought to be an easy mattur for a company to issue an nonest advertise- ment stating the facts, giving full credit to its car, and at the same time not ‘bland handing’ rival cars,” says a guccessful auto advertiser. “Adver- tisements that convey impressions that do not coincide with facts should sub- ject the companles allowing it to me- vere treatment as though they had broken some cardinal rule in a con- test,” jamin If, C.

As usual with illustreted lectures, the slides told most of the story, but the adventure which the speaker un- derwent in taking the photographs which he displayed were unusual and the audience was much interested. The first scenes were of birds which Mr, Bowdish was able to snap near his home, meany of them being takem |in an old orcherd.
