 The main bout was of eight rounds between Danny Dowd and Young Pha- len, both of Waterbury.

BRETON GETTING RICH.
He's Said to Be Clearing Thousands
 Under Morgan.

Jack Britton, the Chicago youth, made a wise move when he placed himself under the manag ement of Dan Morgan, who mode K. O. Brown fa- nous. In the four months that he has been with Morgan, Britton has taken part in fifteen contests and his earnings in that time, as figured out by Morgan, have been $11, 300.
 Britton never got very far in the financial world until lately. He was as good a boxer four years ago as he is now but he seemingly was unlucky and it took Dumb Dan to get him the opening and the prestige. Jack hasn't made as much during his whole career as he has accumulated in the past four months.
 In twenty-two contests in 1912 K O. Brown cleared s24,266.

Radiun in the Sea.

Radioactive substances have been found by Professor Joly, the distin- guished physicist of the University or Cambridge to be far more abundant in the deposits on the floor of the deep CT parts of the ocean than in any ter- restrial rocks or earthS- Fms haS been learned from an examination or sam ples of the bottom mud brought nome nv recent deep-sea dredging exped1- tions, especially that lately conducted by John Murray i'll the Michael Sars. These radioactive substances are mainly inherent in the red clay which
 the various other muds and oozes, which are more or less calcareouS III their nature, forming at medium depths, because the carbonate of lime constituting the shells of molluscs and of many kinds of animalcules are wholly dissolved before they reach the greater depths. Hence oozeS composed of limy materials can be laid down only in comparatively shallow water This red clay, characteristic of the bot tom wherever it is more than about two and one-half miles beneath the surface, is a clay deposit derived principally from wind carried volca- nic dust and punice decomposed by long exposure to the chemical action of sea-water, it contains nodu1es of manganese iron,. certain crystals, round particles of meteoric origin, and spic11leS from SiliciOuS animalculeS (ra- diolartans), and has imbedded in it a profusion of f1inty sharks teeth and the dense ear bones of whales, always coated with a mineral crust. Many of the sharks teeth are of extinct species known otherwise by fossil remains, which is one evidence of the extreme ly low rate of the deposition of this clay where almost no material from the far-away land can be added to it. It seems impossible to get any data as
 to what the rate of deposit may be, but it must be incalculably slow; and to this fact is probably due its exces- sive richness in radiunn. Weekly.

claims for the champtonship cannot be ignored.

As a. result Of Tommy Murphys de- cisive victory over Frankie Burns tn San Francisco New Years day the New York lightweight may be matched with Ad Wolgast for F'ebru- : ary 22s A bout with the e1- champion was promised as an extra incentive for the winner. but it is not certain that Wolgast will accept the terms offered. Wolgast is now following campaign to force Willie Ritchie into return match, and if he fails in this he would like to get a bout with Joe Rivers because of the unsatisfactory ending of their last bout
 Jess Willard, the Texas heavy weight, who is receiving prominent mention as a contender for Luther McCartyss new title, is due for a ses- sion with the New York state athletic commission, according to advices from Buffalo. Willard was matched to box ten rounds with One Round Davis at the Queensbury A. c. of Buffalo New Tears. day. but he notified the club on December 30 that he would be un- able to fill the engagement owing to an injured hand. The club promoters are not satisfied with the excuse, and will make formal complaint to the commission about Willard. AS the boxer notified the club in time for a substitute boxer to be obtained it is not likely that any punishment will be dealt out by the commission. In view of past rulings, however, it would not be surprising if he is ordered to box at that club before accepting any other engagement in this state.
