Because of the open winter more live" cars are seen about the streets of this section of the state than ever before at this season of the year. The absence of snow and ice has allowed the drivers ample opportunity to oper- ate their machines on roads that savor more of late spring or early summer than mid January. A large number of the local physicians are still running their cars, unmlndful of the rigor of winter, and as long as the snow holds off the autos will be moving, Mana gers of the local garages are authority for the statement that auto owners in Connecticut are running their cars la ter into the winter season every year. Last winter was an exception to the rule, the cold season of 1907 being a record breaker.

LOSE FOUR GAMES New Haven Roller Poloists Cap ture But One of the Five
 Contests.

Lost to Waterbury and Bridgeport on Saturday-New Britain Here
 Tomorrow.
NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.

The New Haven roller polo team had a bad week and fell to defeat in four out of five of it's games played, Providence being the only team which failed to defeat them. Monday night the locals lost to Bridgeport because Referee Leahy thought that three fouls in the overtime period was the same thing as Bridgeport scoring a goal The rules of the league fail to show this. but Tommie thought so and the Teddy Bear fans were appeas- ed. Friday night Waterbury easily got away with victory, while on Satur- day both the Park City five and the Rough Riders trimmed the Boneyards. In spite of this number of defeats the local five managed to hold their own and stick to second place. They are, however, so close to the edge of the precipice that the slightest stir will cause them to totter and then Bridge POll W III lildhC UNl pPpNdl ollNC III lllS upper world

There will be no changes in the New Haven team at present but should the past slump continue 1t is certain that Bone will endeavor to procure some better material.

Rounds Without Re.

Decision Pleased Crowd.
Moran Challenges for
IS ROundeP

Colma, Cal, Sept. Abe Attel.
the champion featherweight of Amer
lea, and owen Moran, England's pre-
mier boxer in the same division,
fought draw battle at the Colma
open air arena this afternoon in the
presence of about six thousand spec
tators. The battle lasted twenty
three rounds and at its conclusion
Referee Jake Welch unhesitatingly
grasped both lads by the hand, sig
nifying that the fight was a draw.
The decision seemed to please the
crowd and there was cheers for each
fighter as he wendell his way from
the ringside.
The fight, on the whole, was rather
tame, but this was offset by the clev-
erness and business of the fighters.
1t was a very even one and was mark
ed by Moran's aggressivness and At
tells cleverness in blocking and his
all around work from the defense
standpoint. The concensuS of
opinion would seem to indicate
that the Californian did not show
his best form as in the former con-
test, and that he lacked the dazzle
ing speed which has made him mar
vel of cleverness.
After the fight Owen Moran de-
clared: 'I broke my arm in the Sec
ond round. After that it was almost
useless. At that I think I won by a
mile. I am willing to fight Attel
forty-five rounds, winner to take ALL -
An Associated Press reporter visited
the Englishman in his dressing room
after the contest and carefully ex-
amined the right arm, which Moran
claimed was broken. The hand was
badly swollen around the thumb,
but it was not possible to verify the
claim that the arm was broken. Mo-
rams face was much battered and
his left eye was nearly closed as a
result of Attels almost ceaceless
pounding. i, p, ;..@.&5
On the other hand, Attel emerged
from the fight without a mark. At
tel gave out this statement after be
ing informed of Moran's challenge
for another fight: ri will fight no
| one forty-five rounds. I want to live
awhile yet. But T VIII give him a
return match for any number OF
rounds up to twenty-five. 1 beat him
at every STAGE
An examination of Attel's injured
hand disclosed the fact that the mid
die knuckle had been disjointed. A
resume Of the fight by rounds shows
that Attel had more or less the adj
vantage in nine rounds, Moran was
given six and the balance shows even
honors.

OH, What A
LOVELY Fight
ketchel Knocked Out by
P;apke. il. in Twelfth II Round q
After Gore Had Been Split
All Over the Lease

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 7.-Stanley
Ketchel of Michigan, former middle
weight champion Of the world, was
knocked out in the twelfth round at
the Jefferies-Vernon arena at 4
o'clock this afternoon by Billy Papke
of Illinois, who is now middleweight
champion of the world.
1t was the illinois Thunderbolt"
against the Michigan Killer and
the "Thundderbolt'' won, Both men
entered the ring in apparent perfect
condition as neither had ever been
knocked out. Ketchel had the de-
Icision over Papke in previous ten
round bout, which ended as one of
the bloodiest in history. 8.'
When j. J. Jeffries, referee, called
time and Ketchel walked to the CEN
ter extending his hand for shake,
Papke ignored the hand and sailed
into the Michigan man with fierce
impetuosity which entitled him to be
called .'the Thunderbolt., The fight
practically lasted not over minute
and twenty seconds after the gong
sounded. From that time on it was
merely question as to how long
Ketchel would last. a.55
Papke tore into Ketchel with such
fury that the undefeated champion
was simply lifted off his feet four
times within the next minute. Papke
knocked Ketchel to the mat for the
count and, from his first knock-down
Ketchell never really recovered his
form and he was defeated man,
dazed, bleeding, struggling from
twenty blows in the face, and yet he
came back and stayed with terrible
determination. And for at least three
rounds held his own with the vic
torious challenger.
When Ketchel stepped into the cen
ter for the second round. It was
seen that his right eye was closed.
Before the finish the other eye was
all but closed and for at least three
rounds he staggered about the ring
dizzily. like a drunken man, practi-
cally blinded. In the third Papke
showed his best form when he forced
Ketchel through the ropes. The gong
saved Ketchel just as he was knock
ed through the ropes.
Another minute finished him, with
Papke almost as. strong as when he
entered the ring. Ketchel was carried
to his dressing. room, both eyes being
swollen into great black puffs and
completely closed. His lips were cut
and swollen to several times their
normal size.
