The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-07-19

New York, July 9-Dispatches St. Johns, Newfoundland, say that the sealing steamer Diana, conveying the NfacMi1lan arctic expedition north ward, went ashire in a dense fog at Barge point, forty miles west of Bat tie Harbor, Belle Isle strait. Ac- cording to the latest reports, the Diana is so firmly aground that it is unlikely she will ever be ref1oated. The New found1and government cruiser Stella NAaris has been ordered to her aid, but it is not believed she can pull the Diana off, for the steamer is heavily loaded with coal and supplies for the expedition. Every one aboard the Diana is reported to be safe. The expedition, headed by Donald B. Mac Milan, to explore Crocker Land, was sent out by the American Geograph- icaI society and the American Museum of Natural History. However, no word came to them from the stranded

Shelton Democrats Have Many Seekers
 For Postmastership
Republican May Hold Over If Warning Factions
 Do Not Agree
Same Names On Several Pe- titions Some of the Can didates Have Signed Oth- CT Fellows Petition.
Especial to The Farmer.)


 Derby, Conn.,, July 19-FoI1owing a recent visit of Congressfan Jeremiah Donovan to the borough of Shelton it begins to look as though Shelton would continue to have a Republican pcstnaaster for sometime to come The mixed up mess that the Democrats of shelton have cooked up for themselves is said to be one that even the doughty congressman refuses to settle.
 As soon as the haze of the last po- Elitical battle had cleared away about eVrey tenth man in the borough sud- denly became imbued with the idea that he was the man that Uncle Sam needed to sell his postage stamps, and boss his mail carriers. Each one of the aspirants to the job held now by Billy Holmes started out on his own hook to get endorsem ents.
 The good people of the borough want ed to be friendly, and it is said that about every man of prominence in the place, and a large per centage of the men on the Democratic primary list went on the petitions of everyone who asked them. When they had finished a man who had not signed at least three petitions or written as many letters for the same number of aspiring candidates did not have much standing in the community while some of the leading citizens had a record of being on seven petitions. One Or two of the candidates even went CT; the other fellows petition, it is said, just to cover up their tracks.
 Among the leaders of the fourteen or more candidates are Seid to be D. N. Clark, former Representative John H. Donovan Oscar L. Beardsley, Cid con Wake1y, Joseph Reilly, Attorney ! J. B. Dillon and William Griffen.
 One of the candidates is said to have adopted the novel scheme of collecting as many kinds of writing paper that he could, and of visiting all of his friends who had typewriting machines and having letters struck off extolling his virtues as a life long carrier of the banner of Democracy. Armed with his many letters he went forth into the highways and byways and when ever he could find a citizen who could write he hailed him and had him sign typewritten letter which is said sEN have been instantly mailed to the con- gressman.
 When MT. Donovan visited the bor- ough last Saturday and talked with some of the candidates he is said to have become convinced that he could not straighten out the tangIe, and it is~the gossip here that he left the messa ge that the Shelton Demo- crcay would have to get together and agree upon a man who could fill the berth before he would consider giving his recommends ton to anyone.

 lawn, although distinctively Irish. always was as canny as a Scotchman about spending money.
 When the Little Napoleon had the Giants wished on him they were last in the league by the safe margin of fourteen games. They remained in the cellar the remainder of that sea son, proving that lawn was good prophet, but under his management the joke team, augmented by Me Graw's former Baltimore teammates, Bresna.han, Cronin, dcGinnity and McGann-some names, them!-won half of the remaining games.
 The next year the Giants finished second, in 1904 they copped the pen nant, repeated in 1905, and never since have they finished out of the first division.
 Incidentally. since McGraw, took charge, the United States hints have had to work nights to supply enough coin to pour into the coffers, of the owners of the Giants.
 Little Mac has got his share trust him for that-and in the eleven years he has amassed a snug fortune that runs up into the hundreds of thousands

 Previously to this season, Inglis' baseball work was confined to college and summer resort teams He former ly was captain of the basket ball, baseball and football teams at R. F. I. in Trop, and can cover 100 yards as fast as any upstate coIlegian.

'ORRoRs. MIKE GIBBONS IS
 A-GOING TO IMMACULATE!

That's an awful thing about Mike Gibbons, isn't it?
 You hadn't heard?
 We'll, they say in St. Paul, where the nliddleweight resides, that Mike is going to matriculate!
 And he seemed such a nice fellow too. and one would hardly have thought it of him.
 It's like this: Mike is getting along in years-he will celebrate his twen- ty-fifth ' birthday on Sunday-and realizing that he can't go on fighting forever, he has decided, it is said, to natriculate at the Minnesota State University next Fall. and study law.
 But cheer upI Mike doesn't pro- pose to abandon the ring for some years to come, and merely wants to have the legal profession to fall back ment to cop the coin when his fists no longer serve.
 Mike "GIittering'' Gibbons was born in St. Pauls=a suburb of Minnea- polls, July 20, 1889. His parents were born in Ireland. After sopping up an education in the St. Paul deestrfck school. Mike-or Mickey, as every body called him then-learned the trade of tinsmith, and went to work in the Great Northern shops. During this period, when he was drawin g down his two-ffty per day, he com m1tted matrfmony. He began boxing at the Y. M. c. A. ln St. Paul, and afterward became boxing instructor at that institution. His family opposed his entrance into the professional arena, but Mickey persisted.
 He fought his first battles for mon 'ey in 1908, but it was not until 1910 that he had a chance to fight a really good man, Jimmy CIabby. The St. Paul phantom lost a 10-round decis- ion, but in 1911 he twice outpointed Clabby, once in a i1O-round bout in Milwauke and again in a 15-round go in Winnipeg. He also defeated HiI- Hard Lang, the Canadian, and then went to New York and became a popular hero by defeating 'Gashouse Willie Lewis and Walter Coffey, the California mfddleweight. In his so- called fight with Eddie McGoorty in New York last December, Gibbons re- fused to fat, and his lack of a.ggres- siveness and ginger on that occasion put him in bad with the Gotham bugs. His recent bout with Young Ahearn Q soft snap for Mike. The "phan- tom pEaenom," as his admirers call Mike, also has a.~brother, Tom, in the fighting game, but Tom hasn't as yet shown a great deal of class.
