19O4-Phi1adelphia Jack O'Brien defeated Tommy Burns in 6 rounds at Milwaukee. This was the first of the three battles fought by the Phila- delphian and the Canadian, and the story of these bouts is the record of Tommy's rise to the worlds cham pionship. The second Burns Brien bout was staged in Los Angeles in 19O6 and was advertised as for the worlds championship. The Calgary pIutocrat had improved a lot since the Milwaukee affair, but the best he could get in 20 rounds was draw with the clever Quaker City man. The third battle took place in Los Angeles in 1907, and on that occasion Burns

BRISTOL SWINGS
 TO DRY COLUMN
Vets Gain One Town But No License Men Are Pleased
 With Days Result.

One town was captured by the H- cense element in yesterdays town elec- tions out of the A which had the ques- ton before it. On the whole, how ever, the advocates of prohibition were the winners, because the city of Bris- toI was won over for two years, and in many of the towns the no-license vote developed unusual strength. Add ed to this was the fact that the pro- hibitionists as a party were a factor in several of the towns, especially In Manchester, where E.. L. G. Hohen- thai, the well known state central com mitteeman of that party, won a re- markab1e contest by being elected first seIectman. In GuiIford the prohibit tionists won several minor offices, and also won out in the selection of w. F. Watrous to be judge of probate retired by age.
 The summary of the vote on the H cense question shows as follows:
 Towns changed from no-license to license: Barkhamstead, Berlin, Corn wall and New Hartford.
 Changed from license to no-Ecense: New Canaan, Bristol and Plainfeld.
 Stafford had a tie vote and the town will probably remain license, and in Voluntown ballots were not fur nished it was impossible to take a vote.
 state follows:
 Of the A towns voting 29 last year were license, and 15 no-license. This year 29 of these voted license, and 13 no-license, with VoluntOwn remaining no-license and Stafford tied. This makes a total of 82 license towns and S6 no-1fcense; last year there were 81 license towns and 87 no-lfcense; while in 1911 there were 75 license towns and 93 no-1fcense.

 tPROF." LEAGUE PF;NNANT

Cornelius McCsi11icuddy's aggrega- ton of baseball talent, now entered in the race for the worlds champion ship, is not the first to bear the name of Philadelphia Athletics. Way back in the ancient history of baseball, 'sbefo' de h. a bunch of whisker- ed PhiIad Dhians, clad in citizens
 clothing, disported themselves on a diamond, and made the name or Attn letics famous. By 1866 they had pe- come so strong that they played all the leading clubs of the East, and went through the season with only two defeats. The Brooklyn Atlantics were the chief competitors of the Ath- Iettcs. and in October of 1866 a game was arranged to decide the supre- macy The pastime was staged in Philadelphia and nearly 10000 fans, tbe biggest crowd in baseball history LID to that time, gathered about the diamond. Only one inning was play ed when the spectators puShed out upon the field in such Q compact mass that further play was impossible. The game was postponed to a date later in the month, and, in order to keep the crowd down; an admission fee of dollar was charged. Over 2,0oO fans Daid the price to see the contest, which was called on account of dark ness in the seventh inning, with the score 31< to 12 in favor of the Ath- 1etics. The heads of the players were turned by taking in so much money, and there ensued a lively squabble over the division of the gate receipts. In 1870 the Athletics turned profes- sional, and in the following year were entered in the first championship race of the pioneer professional league, the National Association of Baseball Clubs The Athletics were the pen nant winners, winning twenty-five games and losing seven Boston was second in the race, with twenty-tw two

victories and ten defeats. The other clubs participating in this race were Chicago, New York, Washington, Troy, Cleveland, Fort Wayne ana Rockford. In 1873 the Quaker City had two hines in the association, the Athletics and the Phi1adeIphias. The best and longest professional contests
 up to that time were played by these two clubs when the Philadelphias de- feated the Athletics, to 4, in th1r- teen inning game, and the PhlladeI- pflias beat the Atlantics 3 to in fourteen innings. In tomorrow's pa per the further history of the old Athletics will be taken up.

BRISTOL WET
BY FIFTY-TWO
HALF OF THE TOWN
HAD A STRENUOUS CON.
TEST.

BRISTOL, Tenn, May 10-The Vir-
ginia half of Bristol voted wet by a
majority of f;fty-two Friday after the
hottest local option campaign in the
history Of the city. The "wets" made
their fight for continuance of the
high license and regulation, which
the city has had for four years.
1t is thought that the fact that the
liquor houses had just paid over $780,
900 in license tax, which the city
would have been compelled to return
If it had voted "dry" had much to do
with influencing today's election. The
fact that Abingdon, q nearby town,
has maintained dispensary was
also used again 1t was shown that
If the Virginia half voted dry, the big
mail order houses could simply move
across the street into the Tennessee
half of the city and continue to ship
under the Interstate traffic law, as
they are now doing.
The election today was different
from the local option elections here
tofore held in Bristol in that the wo-
men and children were not in evi
dence, and there was no temperance
parade. However, a hundred temper.
ance workers spent tho entire day on
tn grounds. Both sides engaged
many automobiles to bring out the
voters.
The vote was heavy, only thirty
two persons eligible to vote having
failed to participate. Several came a
thousand miles or farther to cast
their votes.
