TODAY IN PUGILISTIC ANNALS.

1S79-Gunner Moir, former heavy weight champion of England, born in London. Like so many other mod ern British pugilists, Moir got his start as boxer while in the ranks of His Majesty's fighting men. He started his professional career in 1903 by defeating Fred Barrett, but a lit tie later he was knocked out by Charlie Wilson. That was his last defeat in several years, and after cleaning up the best heavyweights in England he went to Australia in 1904 and defeated Peter Felix and Bill Smith. Upon his return to London the Gunner" knocked out Jack Pal mer and Tiger Smith, but in 1907 he was defeated by Tommy Burns, the Canadian, who was then worlds cham pion. Moir retained his English honors until 1909, when he was knocked out by Iron" Hague, who, a little later, fell an easy victim to Sam Lang ford. After his defeat by Burns and Hague, the Gunner temporarily re- gained his lost laurels by knocking out Bombardier Wells, but in 1913 he was put away by Wells and retired from the ring

Gains Ranging from Three to Stvta
 Points Registered.

New York. April 17.-Today's two accompanied by further upward W hirl of prices. Virtually all the in- dustrial and equipment issues which are said to have received war con- tracts, added to recent gains, over night advances ranging from to ' points. Almost the sole exception was American Locomotive, which fell back at the outset, and, though making partial recovery, failed to come within striking distance of the previous days high figure. United States Steel was the real feature by reason of its activity. It sold at 59 7-S, a new record for the current movement. Other speculative features, including Reading, St. Paul and Amalgamated also ascended to higher levels. The close was buoyant. Bonds were firm.
 Wall Street, 10:30 a. m.-The so- called war specialties were again con- spicuous in today's early stock deal ings. New York Air Brake rose 2 points to the new high price of 9s, while American Locomotive was in c!ined to react, falling back IA points to 56 on opening sales of 1900 shares. Baldwin Locomotive and Pressed Steel Car rose 3 to 5 points, and numerous other stocks in this particular class, including Bethlehem Steel, were higher by 1 to points. Speculative favorites shared in the rise, Reading, St. Paul and U. S. Steel gaining a point each. Trading was very active, but without the wild ex- citement of the preceding session.
