near champion of England, is practi- caIly booked for a tour of Australia; Bombardier Wells, the heavyweight, who had his co1ors lowered by Gun boat Smith, is matched up in France with Georges Carpenter; Johnny Summers, welterweig1at champion, is in Australia; and sJim Sullivan, who claims the midd1eweight titles even though he forfeited to Jack Harrison, is also in the Antipodes and matched up with Dave Smith, the best in that country Therefore England is with out any great show of hstic- talent at the present time.
 In addition to the title holders be- ing away many of the near cham p1ons are either away from London or going away. Owen Moran, who was consid- cred a candidate for the lightweight crown, until beaten by Ad Wolgast. is coming back to the states and try for it once more. Tom Mccormick, a new conner in the middleweight ranks, and considered a good one, is also think ing of visiting the states, while a, few others will leave when the summer season is over.
 Of the entire lot Freddy Welsh seems to have the most class, but Fred is getting along in years for a boxer, and he cannot last forever. If he intends to make a, bid for the lightweight crown he will have to get at it while he is in proper shape, but he is finding it hard matter to get the chance with Ritchie just now, as the coast promoters realize that either Joe Rivers or. Tommy Murphy are big cards at present.
 Johnny Summers is also a good boy, but like Welsh he is getting along in the game, having. worked a real 'come back some time ago, and he will find the sailing now pretty tough, especially against the youngsters.
 Bonbardier Wells has been such an in and outer that it is hard to dope him out He will have the advantage in weight and reach with Carpenter, but the Frenchman knows he has a weak stomach and may work his downfall from that point the same as Palzer and Gunboat Smith did. At that Wells shouh win if he shows his hest form.

Terry Would Allow Road To Use Land
 For EIeCtrifying City Engineer Believes No Dam- age Would Be Done
 Property Railroad Encounters Snag in Building Piers Through
 City

City Engineer Alfred H. Terry, on behalf of the city of Bridgeport, will appear before the public utilities com mission in Hartford, May IA, to take up with the commission the matter of granting the New Haven road the right to take land outside it's right of way, which the company claims it needs to carry out its work of cleo trifying the railroad through the cen ter of the city.
 Mayor Wilson had a. long talk with City Engineer Terry this morning and the city engineer, in whose hands the matter has been placed, explained to the mayor just what it was the rail- road company desired to do. MT. Terry stated that after looking over the plans as lsubmitted by the railroad company through the public utilities commission. he was con vinced that the proposed trespass- by the railroad on the city property and the property Of the U. M. c. com pany, Crane Valve company, AYneri- can and British company, and the other concerns affected, would not hurt the property to any extent MT. Terry said that he saw no other so1u- ton for the problem which confront ed the railroads electrical engineers, than the one which they had hit up- on, that of trespassing for a few inch es on the property in question.
 
 mean that at a point some 15 feet above the street, the company would build out a little projections part of the foundation for the steel pillars supporting the feed wires furnishing power to the trains. fSN
 Mayor Wilson said that if this was all it amounted to, he didn't think that there was much need for worry, but he instructed MT. Terry never theless to put the matter up to the railroads engineers at the public utfl- tiles hearing to gee if they could not devise some means to carry out their identification work without having to take any land outside their own prop erty.
 He also instructed MT. Terry to state before the commission that the city would not want any of the high power feed wires which will carry the electricity along the line, to project ever the cfty's streets
 fTf any of these heavy voltage wires ever break,'' said the Mayor, I've want them to fall on the railroad property and not on the city streets.''

the almost forgotten age, as the fight fans of today would not remember them. However, I'll give 8 few of the. past gladiatorS soubriquets which are well known in old Ffstiana.
 There was William Thompson, popu- larly known ''Bendigo'', a great heavyweight fighter in his prime; Deaf Burke, Dick Curtis, known as '@The Pet''; "Old Barney, ''The Star of the East; Perry the renowned t"Tipton SlaSher'; Harry Pearce, t"The Game Chicken; Ned O'Baldwin, ttThe Irish Giant; the wonderful lem Mace, who started milling as George Browns Novice, and later became known as The Clever Gypsy, al- though he was not a gypsy; Sam Hurst, the big fellow who was nick named '"The Stalybridge Infant; Tom Johnson, another Of Eng1ands old champions who was generally known as "Jack1ing'', and a host of other minor fighters who have long passed away and their names and nfcknames are dead with them.
 Some of the first professional fight CTS in America had nomdeplumes also. The first one recall was Frank Am brose, better known as Yankee Su1- livan', who fought gallant Tom liver for the heavyweight championship ti- tie of America in 1s49, at Rock Point, Maryland, and was defeated in six teen rounds by flyer, after a hard struggle, Our brave John c. Heenan, who went to England and defeated Tom Savers for the worlds champion ship, was always fond1y known as '-The Benicia Boy''; John McC1uster, who was defeated by Tom Hyer, was called Country McCluskey' by the fans of his day. Harry Hicken, an EngIishman, who came from England, was dubbed '"The Brassman." Billy Edwards, once lightweight champion of America another BritiSf1Ar. was nfcknamed '"rhe Brum Chicken" Steve aTaylor was known as ''The Jersey Fireman Bill Hastings always was Dublin Tricks to his friends and fol- lowers. There also were 'Ffddler"' Weary, 'fNobby'I Clark, 'iSiddons Mouse, Jack NcManus, better known as ''Eat Elm Up Jack, who was killed in a cowardIy manner on the Bowery by "Bill the Brute'' a few years ago. The latter was not a, boxer but a bad man with a knife or a gun.
 Probably no champion ever was d11b1 bed So many nicknames as my old friend, John L. Sullivan He was first called '"The Boston Strong Boy', then ''IHhe Boston Hercules, Knight of the Elves, ."The Champion of Cham pions'', ''The King of the Ring, "Spartacus Sullivan, ''The Napoleon Bonaparte of S1uggers'', '@The King of Fistiana'', t"The Champion Founder i, ''Prizefighting Caesar, etc, etc. John L. certainly had the fans with him in his salad days. because he always fought to win. on the level.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
 BLANCHE BEACON
Take Care of Your Complexion
BY BLANCHE BEACoN

I think most women realize that a good complexion will cover a great lack of other beauties but, if you have never thought about 1t, the next time you go shopping look at the 1om- en about you at the bargain counter and invariably you will find that the woman with the fresh, clear skin is the one you would call pretty Her skin may be naturally dark, naturally rosy, or naturally creamy, but if it has the look of clealiness and care, you will say to yourself: There Is a good looking woman"
 Very few women take proper care of their faces, even in this day of beauty shops and good grooming; they are more apt to, try to cover up de- fects with a dab of powder and a bit of rouge than to go to the root of the matter.
 IA good complexion means first a liver in perfect working order; second. perfect cleanliness; third, simple diet and fourth. nerves under perfect con trol.
 Like all good things. g, good com plexion demands hard work, self-de- nia1 and great deal of thought given to 1t, but am sure you will acknowl- edge it is worth the trouble
 Transfer your account from the candy shops to the beauty parlor. Save your carfare to pay for shoe leather. Oo HOL DS e1ti6 i6@lo OA NA WI cream-it won't grow hair if you use one that has no animal oil in it.. The complexion of the actress who is always dabb4ng her face with cold cream, is usually one to be envied as it is smooth to greater age than that of the society woman.
 Above all else be careful not to burn your skin when taking an auto mobile ride or when at the seashore Contrary to some wouId-be beauty specialists burning and tanning the skin do not improve it. Fresh air IS all right, but don't overdo the mat

weight champion For days before that bout he went without food and practically without drink. The bak- ing out process weakened him to such an extent that McGovern found him an easy victim. Erne had not recov- cred his strength when he met Cans in Canada, with his lightweight title at stake, although he had trained faithfully, and the weight was placed at 195 pounds, at which Erne was at his best.
 If brevity is wit. the Grams Erne fight was a riproaring farce. Frank landed a couple of taps, Joe respond ed. and then they went to a elinch. As they separated Cans shot over his left to Franks jaw, and it was all over but the shouting. Joe was s'plum fla'bbergasted'' by the suddenness of his victory, and for several minutes was unable to realize his triumph.
 Joe held the title six years, when he lost it to Battling Nelson, and soon after succumbed to tubercuIosis. Erne went ito England and cleaned up a lot of money before retiring from the ring, to become a fight manager in Paris and New York.

KENYON AGAINST
 MEDICAL EXPERT
 AS COURT WITNESS

Chicago, May 12-Legislation which will prevent the indiscrimtnate barter of expert medical testimony will be sought by Senator w. s. Kenyon, who addressed physicians at a, dinner, last night. He said he would seek to have the American Bar Association recom- mend to it's affiliated state organizay- tions the enactment of laws which will put end to the medical ex- pert as a witness in court.
 T believe there should be laws which provide for the appointment by the court in cases, where medical testi- nony may be a. factor, of a doctor as referee to assist judge and jury" said Senator Kenyon. Such laws would particularly benefit the man seeking compensation from large corporations for injuries"

NEW HAVEN BALL
 PLAYERS ARE FINED
Cornell, Foster and Sherwood Taxed $1O and Costs for
 Sunday Playing

New Haven, May 12.-The charge of participating in Sunday ball game at Savin Rock grounds on April 20 brought against Jerry Cornell.
 tKid'' Sherwood and ''Pop" Foster. of the New Haven ball team, heard in
 the West Haven court. today,T resulted in a fine of $10 and costs upon each.
 David B. Fitzgerald, attorney for the
 players, took an appeal and bonds in $1OO each were furnished.
 It is expected that the appeal will be perfected so that the case may go to the supreme court of errors but
 this statement has been made several times before in similar cases. The chief interest in the case was it's bear ing on continuance of Sunday games
 at Savin Rock. After the trial Prose cutting Attorney McLaren made a statement to the effect that while he brought these cases the result of complaints made to him., any future prosecutions would have to depend on direct complaints and the complain ant, who must be a resident of West
 Haven, must appear in court to give evidence. In no more cases will he figure as the complainant. He will simply act as the prosecutor. Mo McIaren said that the attitude of the residents of West Haven was not that of antagonisn to baseball on Sundays but rather to the encroachment on
 
 ment at Savin Rock. He said that it was agreed that in this prosecution the names of those who complained against Sunday ball should not be made public. No c1ergymen com plained. Hereafter, any complainants would be subpoenaed to give evidence.
 The witnesses in the case, today, were a police officer who saw people going into the game on April 20. when Troy played an exhibition match with New Haven, three newspapermen and
 F. H. Goodrich, a paper cutter who said he had done detective work for the past 10 years. Of the newspaper men, one was not at the game, and the others were unable to recall whether they were at a game on April 20 or not When MT. McLaren asked one if he would swear that he was not at the game Judge Bryant said that if the witness could not remem- Der he was of no use as witness. Mr. Goodrich said he was sent to
 the game by the chief of police and
 stayed five and a half innings He
 was very hay about the game and picked out Sherwood as Cornell and could not tell whether not he saw ConneII, although he had been asked by the prosecutor if he saw ConneiI coaching.
 MT. Fitzgerald put in no defense but in his argument set forth that there had been no evidence that a
 game. had been played or that the men had been identified beyond doubt | as those complained about.
