KID M'COY PUTS JIM
 SAVAGE DOWN AND OUT
Veteran Comes Back by Slipping Over Haymaker
 in Fourth Round

Kid Mccoy hurdded another obstacle in his quest of rejuvenation, when he knocked Jim Savage cold as an iceberg in the fourth round of a bout sched- uled for ten rounds, at Browns Gym -nasium, last night. Savage, who is the best of the local big men, had taken an awful beating in the first two rounds. Mccoy had stalled through the third. In the fourth he began feinting for Savage's stomach. He landed two or three light lefts in that region, and each time Savage hol- lowed his stomach and let his jaw come forward.
 This was evidently what Mccoy had anticipated. After the last of his left hand feints, his right went oyer Like a flash and Savage dropped fiat on his back. It was some minutes be- fore he was revived. Some at the ringside who perhaps had never seen Mccoy perform before,. could not un- derstand how such a seemingly light blow, that merely grazed Savage's s jaw, could contain knockout. They thought Savage was shamming sense lessness. But the fact is Savage put up a remarkably game fight, especial " in the first and second when. in spite of all he could do, Mccoy made a chopping block of his face.

LIVELY BOUTS PULLED
 OFF IN EAST BRIDGEPORT
(By Tanglefoot.)

Tn the star bout at the Knicker booker A. c. last evening at their club rooms in Willard street, Young Me Auliffe of the East Side, and Tommy Shea of New Haven fought very fast and clever fight. Young McAuliffe had aV little on the Elm City boy in weight and if there was any decision given McAuliffe would have got it as he fought hard from start to finish and went right after his man. Young McAuliffe drew the claret from Shea.s nose in the third round and kept it running till the final round of the evening. Without doubt Shea is very clever fighter and can hold hts at any time and can drop any man of his weight.
 In the semi-final Dick Miller and Toots Slattery put up a very fast six round go. Slattery is coming back as he fought like real fighter and gave Miller some daisies with ribbons tied around them but he couldn't hurt Miller. The latter was trying hard to get his man but he could not con- meet with his wallops.
 The second bout was between Young Buffalo of Trenton, N. J., ana Kid Kenny of New York This was draw. In the first bout of the even ing Red Allen, the terror of the Edge wood A. C.. tore into Kid McNamara like a house afire. The Kid fought very hard but the West Ender was too fast for him. After the fight George Finklestone and Little Max Blumberg got mixing it up because their cousins are good fighters. Max having Harry Lewis as his cousin, and George, a cousin of Leach Cross. Referee Joe Waters started the men off and the boys with the brass buttons made a clean sweep with them. The referee

Ad WoIgast And
 Brown Just Talk
Want Too Much Money For Their Work in New York
 and Can't Agree

Tom Jones' the manager of Ad Wolgast; Dan Morgan, manager of Knockout Brown; club managers. fight managers, fighters, walters and yesterday afternoon and discussed an other battle between Wolgast and Brown in New York The opening skirmish ended with an even break. The promoters talked themselves blue in the face expostulating on the amount of real money they would do- nate so As to give the public a chance to see the boys mingle again.
 The fighters and their managers listened attentively to the sounds Of the big money talk. The first act opened with the McMahon brothers purse of $16,000 if the fighters would battle. at their Empire A. c. After an encore they fitted off the stage. Tom O'Rourke then Carusoed that a guarantee of. $1O.O0O or 62- 1-3 per cent. of the gate was his offer.
 Madison A. C., walked down to the footlights. Poising his index finger, Rose said dramatically "$12,000 in real money is our bid"
 '.Is that for my end?" asked Jones.
 Rose fainted.
 Ter in the Madison A. C., then took up the argument ''We'l guarantee a s12,000 purse to be split any way you desire, Or if you think the fight IS such an attraction we'll give you $15,- 900 if there is an s1s,OO0 gate; ST. 900 if there's s20,000 in the house; s20,O0O if there's $25,000 in the box, and all over s25.OO0 that you draw" "
 Jones then entered R. U. E.. and mildly acclaimed that he wanted SIP, 2,500s for Wolgast's end. Morgan, who had beer making frantic efforts to have his say, queried offhand:
 Why 12,500? Don't you. know that Wolgast took $4,000 for his bit in Philadelphia and $6,700 in New York, and also that Brown beat him on both occasions
 Jones answered quietly; "$12,500 or I will return to the farm.''
 Nothing came of it all but talk. Still, it's like money in the treasury that the boys will meet. Fight man. agers always treat currency flippant- ly right off the bat. A conference was held this afternoon, and every one may prepare to read of the date and weight for the third battle be- tween Ad Wolgast and Knockout Brown.

GOAL kICkERS NEEDED
 ON EVERY COLLEGE TEAM
Biz and Little Elevens Develop ing Men Who Can Make
 Field Goals

Anart from the confusion of charg- ing figures down at the other end or the field, three men are bent over new footballs. They are on the 3O-yard mark and behind them. a white line separating three other figures stand tense. with hands extended forward, nalms to the ground At signals one hv one. the balls shoot back swiftly, evenly, yellow ovals on some perlect -fut unseen transmission. The palms turn and make the eaten. For ulae fraction of a second the ball is poised, then released; it drops to the ground A thick boot and away arches the oval an a long arc that sweeps down to the earth only after the goal posts have been crossed
 Another man darts out from the side line. He is not in uniform but there Suorestion of the football field about him
 Hey. F,rllback!' he barks. More pep, You took too long to get off that kick. Try again. You other fel- lows go back and join the squad and tell the halfbacks to come down here"
 It's a scene on the average college eridiron today. If you happen to be near one, become a spectator and see for yourself. For it's a year for field goal kickers. The coaches realize it and all of them are busy trying to de yeiop men who can score from the vicinity of the 3O-yard line, and many are being developed.
 Take the games. few as they are, that have been played this season: Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Cornell have men who have all sent the ball spinning between the posts. Capt Howe scored for Yale this way against Wesleyan.
 Milholland of Harvard kicked a field goal against Bates; Penfeld added three points in this manner to Prince tons score against Stevens last Sat urday. Had Butler of Cornell not been able to kick goals from the field Col gate would have held the "big Red team to a scoreIess tie last Satur- day As 1t was, he kicked two goals and Cornell won. The Wednesday be- fore Butler scored another pair against Allegheny.
 Dartmouth has its kicker, too. His names is Barends He tallied twice ir the Norwich game. Capt. Spracklins of Brown is another. Last Saturday against New Hampshire he scored c'everly in this manner. Because Isannehower of Lafayette kicked 3 goal thirty yards from placement IJrsiuus was beaten last Saturday. Tn the same game Gay almost tied the score for Ursinus- His kick from the 40- yard line nipped the cross bar.
 And so it goes This early in the season the field goals have been many and they promise to be many, many more by late November.

Silk 0'Loughin
 Asks For Pepper American League Umpire Claims Contests Are Becoming
 Too Slow

Cincinnati, Oct. 7-Silk O'Loughlin, the American League umpire, is strong advocate of speed. He says the games are becoming too slow and he blames the. players. In discuss ing this fault the noted diamond judge said the other day:
 Put ginger into any public amuse- ment and you'll attract and delight patrons who pay their money at the box office. A lively act in vaudeville or snappy play swill crowd Q theatre any time. A scientific, swiftly nov ing boxer will command big money at boxing club because people will pay more to see him spar than a clumsy sIugger, Baseball is the same. Speedy playing is essential toward keeping up the interest. If the games are al- lowed to drag the fans grow tired and lose interest
 .'I've always maintained that be- tween innings the players going to and from the benches should be made to hurry. It looks better than to see them slouch to their positions, stop ping on the way to borrow a chew or discuss an error, maybe. When the American League wass organized the games were played so rapidly that there was a cry in some quarters that there was too much hurry and hustle. Games were frequently. played in one hour, and fifteen minutes. and l really believe a majority or the fans were satisfied. But in recent years the players themselves have adopted slothful methods with the result that the games are again too long.
 Much time is wasted by the batter ies. The spit ball pitcher consumes most of it by moistening his fingers and preparing to take aim. Then, again, some of them can't make out the signs given by the catchers. In such cases the pitchers stand still, looking at the backstop's fingers as they indicate the signs in the hollow of the mitts. If they don't under stand the pitchers shake their heads and in many cases go up near the plate to hold confabs, when as a mat ter of fact, the field umpire and the fnfielders can see the signs as plain as day. There Should be no such de- lay if the pitchers really wanted to hasten matters More time is lost when baltsmen can't find their own sticks. You'll see them handling every bat in the pile before their own is picked out. That is all unneces- sary, too. I believe that the manager can remedy these defects if he wants to and I'd like to see the powers that be compel him to-"

E'Good Bye, Tony''
 Tells Langford
Sam Puts Caponi Out in Third Round of Ridicu-
 lous Bout

Sam Langford of Boston beat Tony Caponi of Chicago to 'frazzle' at the Twentieth Century Club, New York, last night. After Langford had knocked his man down three times in the early sessions, Referee White, see- ing Caponi helpless and weak, stop ped the alleged fight" after one min ute and two seconds of work in the third round.
 It was short, sweet fight-for Langford. He whanged Caponi at will and took pleasure in it. Sam took Caponi so seriously that he trained for the battle on chicken and hot bis cults. With his abdomen projecting like a bay window, he made up his mind to gallop away with the honors quickly. And he did it.
 Langford chased Caponi around the ring in the first, but Caponi protected his face we'll and Sam's blows did very little damage. Langford drop ped Caponi twice in the second The end came in the third round. Lang ford again dropped Caponi, and when he had hit him three times more Charley, White sent the men to their corners.
 The Giants occupied ring seats. Tn response to the crowds demand for a speech Charley Herzog climbed in- to the ring and acted as the spokes- man for his team mates. He said: T think the Giants will beat the Athletics in the series. I believe that our staff of pitchers and our base stealing will more than offset the bat ting of the Athletics"

PASTORS FIND
 CHAMPION IN
 EDITION ATTACK

To the Editor of The Farmer, Sir:
 In some of the recent murder trials, the counsel for the defense have re- fused to permit the accused to testi- fly in their own behalf. And they were wise; for we'll they knew that at all. for fear they would say too much.
 A striking analogy is apparent in Capt. Paul Boyton's letter to the Bridgeport Pastors Association. He evidently, lacked the advice of com potent counsel; as it would have been far better for the doughty Captains cause, had he retired in silence from the field of victory CD
 Certainly, he must be very credu- lous if he expects his scurrilous ti- rade to convince the people that he day-School at his beloved home" (with bar-room annex.)
 It is very amusing to see how naive ly he admits that he kept his wrath and fury bottled up until the Island was closed for the season, so as to avoid possible loss of patronage. Looks as if he feared that even the class of people who mostly patronized h1S resort would not stand for too much of his abusive attacks upon every thing decent and orderly.
 Wonder if he realizes the fact that
 
 out fear or favor; while he, the self appointed champion of public liber- ty, waited until all his crops were gathered before he dared to show his hand. However, now that he has said his little piece, he may get up and sail away to some remote corner of the globe; where his rights will not be trampled upon by a ruthless mob of Christian ministers.
 Sociologists have good deal to say nowadays, about "reverting to type" and it certainly seems that MT. Boyton has reverted clean over backwards.
 One of the Types is described in a book called the Bible. If Mir. Boyton has no scruples against read ing so unpopular a book, he will find him in the thirty-second chapter Of Second Chronicles. His name was Sennacherib, and he sure was a mas- ter-hand at railing and ridicule. But, Sennacherib got his, and I advise our Island .Potentate to heed the warn ing of his predecessors fate. with apologies to Sennacherib.)
 MT. BoytOn concludes his classic eff fusion by likening the Pastors Asso- citation to dogs, with their tails hanging down behind" Of course, that kind of talk is conclusive proof of his high and lofty moral ideals, un- selfish regard for honor and virtue, etcetera. Myself, I prefer that kinc of a dog, rather than the yelping. snarling kind.
 And finally, in all seriousness, and in the fear of God, recommend Capt. Boyton to remember that however successful he may have been in de- flying human laws he is still under the Jurisdiction of the Almighty, for it is written, Behold the Lord com eth to execute Judgment upon all and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly conn mitted, and of all their hard speech es which ungodly sinners have spo- ken against him.
