CARRIERS
 OPEN CONVENTION
 TO LAST ONE WEEK

San Francisco. Aug. 3o-The 18th con vention of the National Association of Letter Carriers opened, today, with more than 1000 delegates. The won- en's auxiliary is meeting at the same time. Two issues which directly com cern both organizations were to be considered today. One relates to the re-rating of the older members of the postmens order, the other, the ad- mission of women of the auxiliary to the mutual benefit association and making them eligible to hold insur- ance policies with the same provis- ions as the mail carriers.
 Other problems which will come be- fore this convention are: Proposed ahliation of the Carriers with the American Federation of Labor; policy of the association regarding pending congressional legislation respecting the retirement of letter carriers and the policy to be pursued as to the bills introduced in ICongress by Senator Kern, of Indiana, and Representative McGiIIicuddy, of Maine, providing for compensation to carriers injured while on duty.
 The convention will De in session a week.

MANAGER'S JOB IN
 BIG LEAGUE NO SNAP

Uneasy lies the head that wears a managers cap in the big league. Jake StahI, leader of the worlds cham pions of 1912, was kicked out of the big show before one season had elaps- ed after his triunphs and now a straight tip has it that George Stovall, leader of the St Louis Browns, is about to be deposed to make way for Branch Hickey, secretary of the St. Louis American 1eague~ team. The life of the average manager in the big leagues is one continuous series of disappointments. Only. few ex- captions to the general rule are known among them Mack, McCraw and Clarke. The story that Stoval was to go has been repeated so often that the manager of the Browns believes it himself, and is simply waiting for the announcement that will deprive him of his authority as leader of the former confirmed taiI-enders in the Mound City.
 There are several reasons back of the Stoval1 trouble. First of all, Sto- wall is a fighter and has made enc mics. He has repeatedly assailed Ban Johnson'S umpires, and on one Occa- sion committed a breach of etiquette that the power behind the younger major league circuit has never for gotten. The affront to major league decorum in the assault on Umpire Ferguson and the action of StovaII in backing up Roy Mitchell in his trou- bles with Umpire O'Loughlin did not boost the cause of the St Louis lead CT. President Johnson is a firm be- liever in discipline and thinks the in tegrity of the game depends upon the support given the umpires.
 The run-in between Stoya1 and Umpire Ferguson. causing the St. Louis manager to be suspended, was the most glaring offense that could be committed, according to the head of the Am eHican league. Johnson threat ened to deprive StovalI of his berth as manager. In the trouple between Roy Mitchell and Umpire O'LoughIin, in which some rapid firing at close range was the order. Manager Sto- wall sided with his player and sent a report to the American league head preferring charges against O'Loughlin.
 These disputes with Johnson's a.rbi- traitors did not boost Stova,Ifs chan ces of remaining at the head of the Browns, but he might have been re- tained indefinitely had he produced Q first division team. Stoval is forced to give excuses for defeat, and Mag

BONEBARDIED WELLS, 26,. STILL
 POPULAR DESPITE DEFEAT

Bombardier Wells, the EnEIish heavyweight, will celebrate his twen- | ty-sixth birthday Sunday, having been born on the last day of August in 1887. No other pugilist has ever retained SO large a measure of popularity in the face of frequent and decisive defeats as the clever Englishman. In 1911 he was knocked out by Gunner 1Ioir in the third round at London Tn 1912 he came to America and was laid low by Al Pa1zer in the third round of a. New York bout The fang paid S1S,00O to see the English cham pion in action against thesIovva farm CT, and, such was Bonbardier's popu- larity, they cheered him quite aa heartily as the victor. Another bis New York crowd turned out to see Wells in his fight with GunbOat Smith. The Englishman was put to sleep in the second round. Despite these de- cisive defeats, the English followers Of the game did not lose faith in their champion. Wells was matched against Carpenter, the French cham pion. It was another Waterloo but with the victory reversed. for Wells was knocked out, although he had an advantage of twenty-five pounds fin weight and half a foot in height. That was a terrible blow to British pride. for it had always been held and firmly believed that no Latin could stand
  fight. One would think, after that that Bonn bardfer would quit the game. but he didn't. Since then he has en- gagged in several battles, mostly with smaller men, and he continues to be a drawing card. One of his last bouts was with Pat O'Keefe. the Irish vel terweight champion. and the Bonn bardier knocked him out in the hf- teenth round.
 Wells has everything a tighter should have.sexcept the ability to az- sfmilate punishment. That does not mean that he isn't game. for he is. It is simply that his body is too weak to stand much punishment, and a punch that most fighters could take with a smile crumples him ID.
 The secret of Bonn bardfer's con tinued popularity is that he is thorough gentleman. He has been called, and with good reason. ,sfhs Adonis of the prize ring" When whip ped he does not whine nor offer alibis- He never lasts long, when pft- ted against a slugger. but while he lasts he gives an exhibition of clever boxing that inevitably a.rouses the ad- miration of the fans.

DUKE FARRELL, GREAT
 CATCHER, THE BEAD BRUAINGEIL1 OF BASEBALL

If the fans were asked to pick the greatest catcher in baseball history, it is certain that many old-timers would cast their votes for Duke" Farrell. whose big league career ex- tended over the eighteen years from 1888 to 1905. Charles Farrell, popu- 1ar1y called -fthe Duke because of his classy clothes and his commanding stature, was born forty-seven years ago tomorrow, August 31, 1866. at Oakdale. Mass. After his retirement from the game s-the Duke settled in his native State. running a hotel in Marlboro and also acting as coach for the batteries of the Boston Beans
 It was just a quarter off a century ago that Farrell broke into big league ball as backstop for Pop" Anson's s Colts He remained with thea Chicago team until the formation of the Broth erhood circuit called the Players League. In deserting Anson the Duke followed the example of the whole Chicago team. except Burns and the Cap himself Among Farre1ls team mates in the Windy City were Pitch CTS Tener, Dwyer, Gumbert and Hutchinson the former now Gover- nor of Pennsylvania; Catchers Som CTS, Flint and Darling; Burns. 3astion Pfeffer and Williamson, inf1eIders. and Ryan, Duffy and Van HaItren, out fieIders.
 
 ont the Duke played with Boston. hit- ting well over the 300 mark. The following year he was with Pittsb1reI, and in 1893 with Washington. During the seasons of '94 and '95 he caught for New York, but returned to Wash ington in 1896 and remained until 1899. when he went to Brooklyn. He was the main backstop for Ned Han Ions pennant-winning Brooklyn bunch of 1899 and 1900 He remained with the Dodgers until 1902, when he toin- ed the Boston Americans. In 1903 Farrell led the American League in batting with an average of .4O4 Bos- ion won the flag that year and then defeated Pittsburgh for the worlds @Aaxnp1onsn1p- Tine Pirates won three Sf the first four games, and Boston then took four straight, Farrell and Criger catching Bill Dineen in the de- cfding contest The Duke remained with Boston until 1905, when he re- tired, being the in his fortieth year.
 Farrell was the Beau BrurnmeT1 of baseball, but there was nothing f1ashv about his sartorial display. Swell dressers" in all the cities of the cir cult used to accept the Duke as their authority.

GRAVEL INSTEAD OF CRUSHED STONE FOR PAVING FOUNDATION
Lawrence & Gaynor Award. ed Three Contracts at
 Paving Board Meeting

For the first in the history Of paving in Bridgeport a contract was let last night to use gravel instead Of broken stone in the concrete foundacton TOT wooden block pavement The con tract was given to Gaynor & Lawrence for Court street at $1.22 per square yard The same firm had bid $1.3 per sauare yard for concrete founda- ton if broken stone was used instead of gravel
 The Gaynor & Lawrence Co. also fared well on the other contracts se- Crescent avenue, Noble avenue and Sterling Street with granite blocks. The members of the Paving and Sewer Commission considered this was the only pavement to lay in these streets as there is much traffic through them principally by heavily loaded trucks There are sharp grades also and the commissioners felt no other paving material would stand the strain.
 Gaynor & Lawrence were the only contractors who bid on this work. Their bid was for $3.3o a square yard. The lowest bids of other contractors for other material was. $3.21 per square yard. The motion awarding the contract to Gaynor & Lawrence was made by Commissioner Brown. During the evening the work of this firm on other paving contracts that t have been awarded was praised Dy members of the commission.
 Five bids were received for the paw ing of Park avenue.
 No award was made and the Com Inissioners instructed City Engineer Terry to report to the board later what material Ae thought should be used for a wearing surface.
 The following were the bids on the Park avenue pavement:
 Tfra TIufte7 States Wood Preserving company. $1.s5 without guarantee, S1.se with guarantee, S34.40 per 1000 wood blocks. without guarantee. $S6 per 1 1000 with guarantee.
 The Barber Asphalt company, as phalt blocks. s1.s2, $1.s6. $33-75, $34-7o.
 The Harris Paving company, as- phaIt block $1.72 and $1.59 and $1.77 and $1.64 for blocks of different sizes.
 The Burns company, $3.20 per yard furnishing either United States block or Barber asphalt block; for doing the work and furnishing labor and material exclusive of wearing sur face. $1-39, no guarantee.
 William H. Arthur 1.34 for doing all the work and furnishing all labor and material exclusive of wearing sur face without guarantees; $1.35 with guarantee.
 The contracts let last night amount to about $4O,000 and the work covers roughly about 12,OOQ square yards The commission voted that in the future contractors be allowed to pro- ceed with their work only at the dis cretion of the commission and then through notification by it's secretary.

man, however, obligingly supplied them with this desideratum, and when the police requirements were thus satis- fled, the troubles were over. The party was warm in it's recommendation of the hospitality of the Hartford Equal Franchise League, whose president Mrs T. N. Hepburn, put her whole house at their disposal, and the street meetings proved highly popular and successful. From Hartford the party proceeded by way of Longmeadow and ThompeonvilIe to Springfield and. thus into Massachusetts.
