TODAY ANNIVERSARY
 OF WINNING TITLE

John Lawrence Sullivan, gentleman farmer, will celebrate today the thirty first anniversary of the battle that made him the champion of the world. There will not be any liquids con- stunned by the Old Roman in celebrat- ing, for he is now firmly seated on the water wagon, and is much in demand as a lecturer on the evils of drink be- fore Young Mems Christian Associa- tfons. It was on Feb. T., 1882, that Sullivan, then a husky youngster of three-and-twenty, defeated Paddy Ryan at Scotts Station, near Missis- sippi City, Miss, and was crowned as the worlds premiere fighting man. Paddy lasted nine rounds before the terrible ons1aughts of the younger seconds of terrible milling John L.. won the most coveted title in pugdo1u a title he defended against all corners for over ten years, until at last he went down to defeat before James J. Corbett, aided by John L.. Barleycorn. If Sullivan had not attempted to make the distilIerieS put on a night shift to supply the demand he created, the battle at New Orleans might have had a different ending. Even that defeat did not cure John of the drink habit. and it was not until he was down and out, all in, and on his last legs, physi- cally, mentally and financially. that he saw a great light and "cut out the booze"
 Old Pat Moran, one-time star catch CT of the Cubs and the Phfllies, was born at Fitchburg, Mass, thirty-seven years ago today, Feb. ', 1876. Six teen years ago he entered the pro- fessionaI~ baseball ranks with Lyons, in the New York State League. In 1899 he was purchased by Montreal and for two years played with the Canadian metropolis before he was promoted to the majors. He caught for the Boston Nationals five seasons and in 1904 played third base for a short time. In 1906 he joined the Chi cago Cubs, and was the mainstay backstop of the pennant-winning ag- gregations of 1906, 1907 and 1908. In 1910 he was sold to the Philadelphia Nationals.
