BOXERS TAKE PART IN THE VOTES-FOR-
 WOMEN CAMPAIGN.

Remarks attributed to Jack Johnson, in which he is alleged to have east reflections on the fair sex in general and the la dies of Chicago in particular, would not make him popular in pugilistic circles. One has but to read the biography of any boxer to learn that he enter tained a vast respect for wom- anhood, and that he supported his aged mother in luxury. Usually such statements arc true- A gal ant and chivalrous attitude toward the opposite sex Is a characteristic of most pro- fessional fighters have konwn. that many boxers have come out openly for the suffrage cause. In the recent f'Votes for Women parade in New York there was 8 division of fighters, led by Jack Burns of Salinas, Cal, and including many of the best scrappers then in Gotham. It was noteworthy that as the fighting squad passed there was no tendency to jeer shown by the male spectators of the page ant. Other men in the parade did not escape the caust1c re- marks of the wits in the crowd,
 
 ponents of the manly art. As MT. Post put it, There's a req son." Kid Mccoy is ore of the boxers said to be in favor of votes for women. The HOOsier boxer an ex-middIeweight champion has been married no less than eight times, and 1t speaks well for his wives that he is suffragist. Tom Sharkey, once q distinguished runrer-uD in the heavyweight ranks, and now the proprietor of a saloon in New York, is said to be ready to go to the mat with any mere male who casts asparagus on the cause" The lamented Gus RuInlin made his wet goods emporium in Brooklyn a suffra- gist headquarters. "VOtes for women" banners were hung ev- erywhere, and suffrage litcra- ture as well as beer was always on tap. Gus wife was a leader and Gus himself made many converts among his patrons. Yours truly. John l.. Sullivan, is also alleged to be something of a suffragist. In England the militant suffragettes have sev- eraI boxers on the firing line, and the late Jem Mace, one
  said to have been one of their most ZeaIous converts. One of the arguments of the anti-suf- fragists is that the. ladies couldn't fight fin case of war. This has been disproved many times, and, now that the suf- fragists are becoming chum1ny with the boxers, we may find that they will also become able to fight in time of peace. With the brutalities of boxing elimi- mated. and the sport made one of cleverness and skill, why may not the future give us a femf- nine champion of the world? The regulation ring regaIia would hardly go, of course, but the costume of Annette Keller man and the scores of other "diying VenesSes' would be quite suited to the ring. Who knows what?

MYTHICAL TALE BY DREW

A weird tale of murder told bv Frank Drew, who resides at 222 Drew place for a time created considerable excft eynent in police and newspaper circles Sunday night. The tale which was to the effect tbat Drew had been comm .eeioned to drive a New York car to the Washington bridge in Stratford where the body of a woman was cast over the rail into the waters below was persisted in by the narrato for over an hour His statements were finally conflicted by Capt. George Arn- old and he was compelled to admit <aIsity. The suspected motive for the tale was revenge at having been left ty the roadside with but ten cents af- ter efforts to secure liquor for the a=&Azz a4raGI1aoa@Eful.

Spectacular Forward Pass, Lachance to

nor were they so quick to diagnose plays. The Yosts apparently depended more upon indivtdua! players than up on team work and in the open game individuals sometimes turn the trick as they did yesterday.
 The New. Haven boys got their chance to score in the third period af- ter Shorty Norris had made a. disas- trous tumble. Grand1eld fell on the ball for the Glees on the 30 yard , line ing the first New Haven play for a loss but Howie Baker on a double pass made a spectacular run of 15 yards: first down and then came a tumble. There was general scramble in which the Glees recovered the ball on the three yard line as the period end The players went to the other end of the field to resume operations in the fourth period. On the first try La very gained only yard but on the next attempt he crashed through for touchdown. The ball was in the corner of the field so Foster punted out. Granddeld Inuffed the kick, thereby losing the chance to kick the goal.
 In discussing individual players Ed die Reilly n.-,st come first. The fast Yost quarterback never played better. He handled kicks beautifully and nev- CT failed to run them back from ten to 30 yards. In running from a kick formation Reilly also made several good gains Carroll 2 n;ssio new Semsr 1ea in in  all around play. He was the best back in the Yost lineup and should have been kept in the 1Hs game for for the entire entire on the defense. His one sensational run in the fourth period put the Yosts in position to score, end and a wonder at going down the field on kicks. Silva at the other end was also in fine fettie. The center steady work, throughout. Rosenpen- ny who replaced Carlson in the last few minutes proved his alertness by gathering In the tumble which turn Capt.

of the Glees' goal posts on the second down he tried an end run which brought the ball in the corner Of the field, where it was impossible to kick a field goal. The Yosts then lost the ball on downs. Reilly should have kept the ball in the center of the field so that if his line plunges failed he could try a drop kick.
 Pop Foster. Eddie Lavery and Howie Baker did the best playing for the Glees. And all three are Bridgeport great and Baker was whirlwind at end. It was strange that he didn't have more chances to run with the ball. The one time he got the oval he made a. big gain. If the Yosts had Baker and Lavery the other teams would be scared before the game start ed.
 There was lot of money bet on the contest. Kid Sherwood, the New Ha- ven outfielder. was holding $69O in stakes and there were several other big pools. The Yost followers when they saw that money coming home in that last minute of play just naturally went wild.
