T HE PUGILISTS
FIGHTS OVER <. IN DANBURY
Joe Clancy of This City Gets the Decision -A An Old Friend of
 John L's is Dead.

DdQDuFy, June Il.-JlMuiS Wil- Hams of Providence, R. l., had prac- tically knockout victory over Till Badgley of Orange, N. J., in their fight last night before the Danbury Athletic club. The match was sched- uled ten rounds, but was stopped in the fifth.
 Joe Clancy of Waterbury and Chick Lahey of this city fought about through the eight rounds of their fight. when Lahey, who had the best of the fight up to that time, was disqualified for fouling.
 John Wagner, one of the best known policemen in the New York department, is dead. To members of the department he was best known as Big John." He died of heart failure at his late residence, 362 West Forty second street. A widow and two grown sons survive him.
 Wagner was noted for two things he had faced John L. Sullivan for three rounds and had many deeds of heroism to his credit on the police de- partment records.
 It was in Clarendon hall in Thir- teenth street that Wagner faced Sulli- van. Magner's friends urged him to accept the big fellows challenge and he did it with reluctance. But the most interesting part of that chapter in Magners life was written when he got home. His father was small man, but Wagner used to say, When he raised his finger he put the fear of God into me-"
 Where have ye been?" asked the elder Wagner sternly.
 The giants knees smote against each other as he replied weakly.
 q have been out father"
 Answer my question. Where have you been?"
 Just out, father"
 You have been fighting. you ras- cal. Did Sullivan put that sinner on yer nose. If he did, by the saints, I'll put another one there." And suiting the action to the word the small father rolled up his sleeves and gave the big son such a whaling as he never had in his life.
 When Li Hung Chang visited New York Peter Conlin, then chief of po- lice, selected the six of his talllest and strongest men to carry the Orien- tai statesman into the City hall in his sedan chair. The policemen rebelled and Wagner was one of the rebellious spirits. When he was threatened with charges if he did not obey or ,ders he capitulated.

THE LITTLE FELLOWS.
Column Reserved for School Games
 and Minor Leagues.

The base ball record of the Cres- cents was knocked to pieces Sunday by the Hill street bunch. Such a knocking about the field no team ever got as that which befell the Crescents. Even Terry Hollywood's s copyrighted and patented home run availed them nothing, and even Dan Keefe's French curves and German bends were knocked half way over to Wolcott. Jack Sayles was carried of the field without even one solitary laurel on his perspiring brow, he having been knocked clear out of the box. Captain Tom Wards Pots and Pans will have nothing to do with the Crescents now, as the Crescents have no sporting reputation worth speaking of, so that it is very likely Captain Wards wager of $500 will have to go begging. The licking the Crescents got was the amazement of everybody in the north end, and even at that the Hill street boys did not have their best players with them Sunday. whereas the Crescents went to the battle ground with their crackerjacks determined to wipe the others of the field. The score was 30 to 2 for the Hill street nine.
 The letter carriers had an outing Sunday and had a game of ball. It was low ball for them, the carriers bearing odd numbers on their hel nets playing the fellows with the even numbers. From the start the odd fellows had the field. They did not give the even fellows a ghost of a show and when the game was over the score was 17 to o for the odd fell lows.

Since the death of his wife in 1898 he had

BEE KEEPERS.
THIRTY-SECONO AN N u A L
CONVENTION HELD ON
THURSDAY.
Despite Rigorous Weather At
tendance was FIattering
Old Board of Officers
Reelected.

The thirty-second annual meeting of
the Vermont Bee Keepers Association
despite the twenty below zero tempera-
ture of Thursday resulted in an attend
ance that was flattering and the meeting,
which was held in the parlors of the
Addison House, was one of the most
interesting within decade. The several
papers read and discussions were of a
nature to stimulate the members and each
speaker was listened to with interest.
President NJ. F. Cram, of Northtield,
called the meeting to order at 10 30 and
following the reading of the minutes of
the last convention, read by the secre-
tary, w. G. Larrabee, of Shoreham, came
the report of the treasurer, II. l.. Leon
ard, of Brandon, and Secretary Larrabee.
Both showed that there is an increased
interest in the association as the financial
report was of nature that shows abal-
ance on the right side of the ledger while
the secretarys report was of the kind that
bespeaks still greater things for 1907 than
in the year just closed.
The convention opened with a paper,
"My Experience in Cellar Wintering'
by President Crane and was particu-
larly lucid and interesting story of the
experience of that gentleman. A dis
cussion "Bee Spaces" was led by..George
