when the Englfshnan landed one of his famous slack suns'' the French man lost all interest in the sport. GloYe boxing was introduced into century ago, anw an account of a bat tie in 1918 describes the gladiators as
 with their hands guaried by huge padded gloves
 In the late sos several great prize nghts were pulled off on French soil by English and American bruisers. Tn 1887 Jake Kilrain and Jem smith, the British champion, fought a memorable loe-round battle in France. The fol- lowing year John L.. Sullivan and Charlie Mitchell went to Chantiny France to do battle for the worlds Heavyweight title, scrappins over three hours to a draw
 These prize fights did not particu- larly appeal to, the French tempera- ment, and it was not until they saw
 more clever and scientific boxing that the Parisians were aroused to enthu- siasnn. Skill and generalship and fast foot-Work have. always been the char acter1stics of the French disciples of 'le boxe.''
 Before the tsAng1ais'' style of boxing attained popularity in France, the trench boxed Ia savate,'' using. the rect as we'll as the hands in landing blows When Jiff Jenries visited Pa r1s in 1899, shortly after Becoming champion. he was matched with BIah. the French champion. In the first round the Erenchman leaped over the head of the erouching Monsieur Jeff, and landed a stinging blow with a foot as he passed. Jeff followed the Svhiriing dervish of a boxer, and when he landed punch on the jaw the agile Frenchman had a plenty.
 It was about ten years ago that Trench enthusiasm for t1e boxe,, be- came general. and the American and English fighters found Paris an iuvit- ing field. Sam MoVey. the California negro was one of the pioneer mission aries and he was long a favorite. Will lie Lewis was another 'searly bird, ,'' and Frenchmen believed that he was the greatest boxer in the world. Scores of other American boxers have since performed in France, among them Frank Erne.

Jeff Smith, Jack Johnson, Johnny Daly, Charlie Thom- ae, Sam Iangford, Joe Jeannette, Biz N6ackey. and dozens of others The Parisian fans used to fall for the dubs, but now they are as keen judges of boxing as can be found anywhere.

BIG FOREST FIRE
 THREATENS FARMS

Danielson, Conn, Oct. 18.-Reports from the east section of the state to- day indicate that the forest fires which have extended over a large area, particularly in the towns of 4ster- ling, fPlainfeld and Ktllingly. are still burning f1ercely, despite the efforts of the half thousand volunteers under direction of the fire wardens, to bring them under control. Already thous- ands of acres of imberland and hun dreds of cords of cut wood have been destroyed. and it is feared that the losses will be considerably increased before the fires are checked.
 During the early morning a change in the wind set the flames sweeping towards g. densely wooded section of PIainfeId. Tn this district. at Flat Rock. are a, few farmhouses, and sys these were threatened by the spread of the flames, the fire fighters took what protective measures they could Owing to the fact that by reason Of the lack of rain the streams. and brooks are almost dry, the men have practically no water to help them in their. fight, and have to rely chiefly on backhring. All of the mills in KillingIy, Central Village, Mocsup have sent large numbers of their men employees to help fight the fires.

NEWEST GAME For EVERY WEATHER!

cheat the insane asylums and the rest
cures, grab off a feather, blow it,
chase it, get your friends to join in
the chase, puff out your cheeks until
wrinkles turn to Gmples, hop and
skip and bend and dip until your mus
eles are timber as elastic.
The feather game is new, but it's
spreading fast and far. They're play
ing it all over the country. Business
men are chasing the feather at lunch
hour in the gym; children are dane
ing around the school yards blowing
at the elusive dab of down; doctors
are telling their women patients to
play the feather game for health and
beauty.
The stunt is to toss feather in the
air, and then keep it there by blowing.
If you get a roomful of guests doing
it, each with his own feather, the fun
is fast and furious, and the danger to
furniture and bric-a-brac adds excite
ment to the sport.
Color the feathers so each con-
testant can distinguish his own, and
then offer prize to the person who
keeps his feather longest in the air.
The game is great for everybody
from three-year-old to grandma. .. =!
