Despite his advanced years Will Ilan Bulkeley, one of Berlin's oldest kresidents and president of the Berlin EayingS bank. has almost entirely re-

 enrpemen had descended from one of khe upper floors to the ground floor End MT. Bulleley was just about to Hollow Messrs. Mildrum @n6 Nott, who (had stepped off the elevator, when it su ddenly began to go un. With great Irresence of mind, Mr. Bull>eley lea ped from the elevator in barely

 Investigation proved. that a work clan on the floor above had taken it

REISLERs HAS FOUR FINE
 BOXERS IN HIS STRING

A year or so ago, it was Dan Nor gan and K. O. Brown, now it's John Reisler and his four boxers. Joe Azevedo. Young Brown, N1icky Don- ley and Kid Wolfe. There is not a single follower of the boxing game, or in fact a promoter of a club that don't wish Reisler the good fortune that has turned. his way after sinking a. small fortune in the sport.
 Reiger has surrounded himself with quite a formidable looking sta7 ble of boxers. The best asset, and latest addition to Reislers stable is Joe Azedevdo, a Portuguese light weight, who halls from Oakland Cal. Azevedo was born on the Azores Is- land, but made California his home, where he became quite prominent in the pugilistic game at thes age of Is years. A glance af his performances in the ring according to records sh0w that he is entitled to be classed as one of the leading contenders for the championship.
 Young Brown, 3 native New Y ork lad, jumped into the pugilistic lime light when he gained singular distinc- ton by being the only boer who ever sent Matt We'll, then the champion of England. flat on his back. Brown followed up this brilliant work by holding Freddie Welsh to 1o-round draw.

COMING OF VEACH WAS
 THE MAKING OF $1OO, ,OOO
 OUTFIELD FOR DETROIT

The coming of Robert Veach has given Detroit a $1oO,000 outfield, ac- cerding to the October Baseball Mag azine.
 Tn the fall of 1913 a famous base ball expert was discussing the Star outf1e1ds. The Red Sox have the>b best outf1eld in the country. he said. The best balanced, the most brilliant.
 Today. the Red Sex trio is as bril- liant, as fast. as clever as it ever was. It. is undoubtedly one of the strongest outheIds 5 in baseball his tory. For Detroit, Cobb is playing the best game of his career, and Crawford is as reliable as ever. But the outfeld is no longer Unbalanced or one-sided. For it has been the sin gular good fortune of Hugh Jennings to secure a player who is able to hold up his end of the outer gardening with the redoubtable brace of slug ging stars who have so long borne the brunt of the Tiger attack.
 Robert A Veach is the name of this most desirable player, and there is not the shadow of a doubt that with his advent the Detroit outfield is one of the most powerful, if mot the most powerful ever assembled on a diamond.
 player who has thus slipped noise lessly into the lilnelight, was born at St. Charles, ky, 27 years ago on the 29th of June.6> He is an athletic look ing person, i've fleet, II inches tall, and weighs 165 pounds. His face is tanned brown by the sun of his many gruelling contests, and his lean, well- strung muscles hardened by years of toll. For Vea.ch was one of that band of underground workers who rose from the murk and damp of a coal mine to. a position of eminence in the national game.
 Unlike Jake Daubert, Hugh Jen- nings and some of the other eminent miner players, Robert escaped the grind and weariness of the breakers Coal mining in Illinois is different from the hard coal mining of Penn l sylvania, he says. In Illinois the coal lies in great veins or fields whicf crop out in certain places on the sur face. They are usually tilted at 3 considerable angle, however So tta' l if you want to strike the field few miles away you may have to sink 2 l shaft several hundred feet.

COMM. .SSlON IS AFTER REFEREE FOR
 GIVING DECISION

New York, Sept. 15.-BillN Johs re- fierce of the Packey McFarlan nd=Mike Gibbons ten-round bout at the Bright on Beach MotordroIne on last Satur- day night, will be summoned to ap- pear before the Boxing Commission at its regular meeting to be held here next Tuesday. and he will be. asked to explain why he gave a newspaper op- inlon on the bout.
 In the crisp, official report of the commissions doings- at yesterdays s meeting which was handed out to the newspapermen by Secretary Charles J. Harvey, there was absolutely on mention of any discussion of Billy Joh, nor was there any mention of the fact that he was to be summoned to ap- pear before the comu1ission.t
 The commission takes the attitude that no referee has @ right to express even a private opinion on any bout.
 After Secretary Harvey had issued his official statement on what tran spired at the meeting, Major John Dixon, one of the members of the commissi on. was interviewed, and he stated that Billy Joh would be sum moned to appear and explain why he gave his opinion. Another Commis- sioner, when asked about the Joh matter denied that any such action had been taken From the discussion with Major Dixon, it was gathered that the Boxing Commission is under the impression that Referee Joh er- red in giving his opinion

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

19o5-Joe Cans and Mike (Twfn) Sullivan fought 15 round draw at Bal tinore. This was the first of three battles between the rugged E9ibernian twin and the clever Baltimore negro. Michael had a persistent notion that he was a better man than the little darkey, who was nearly { inches shorter than the Irishman. In the session at Baltimore Mike made good showing, and took all Joe could give him and landed not few good ones on his own account. Mike was eager for another chance at Cans, and early the following year they were matched to fight at San Francisco. This time Joe had all the better of 1t and in the 18th round Sullivan went down for the full count. Mike was still unconvinced. and 0 couple of months later he faced Cans in Los Angeles ring. That time it took Joe only 10 rounds to polish off Mike to the~Queen's taste. This third bout was staged on St. Patrick's Day. but that didn't save the Irishman from a knockout
 1902-Tonrny Ryan knocked out Kid Garter in 9th round at Fort Erie
 1906-Harry Tenny knocked out Monte Atteu in 25th round at Gold field.

 Rube Marquard and Larry Cheney between them allowed a to o lead to slip into the defeat and just when the local fans were counting another victory for the Robins. The sad part of the defeat for the visitors was that Miller Huggins sent in 9 makeshtft club. Huggins retired to the side lines and sent Jack Miller to second base.

FEDERALS TO OFFER M'GRAW
 S2OO,OOO TO JUMP GIANTS
Try to Land Him For Manager of New York
 Club in New York.

to use McGraw in the event of a legal battle McGraw turned down a Fed eral offer two years ago.
 If McGraw has any ideas of step- ping out of the National league, this looks like quite a nropitious time to make that move. The Giants are now hopeless crew, and the outlook for next season is not one whit brighter than it is at present.
 The bunch of rockies the Giant scouts have corraIed do not give prom ise of developing anything wonderful for next year, and as good ball players do not appear to be on the market, es- pecially as far as the Giants are con cerned, New York seems to bea in for at least another season of drought in the National league.
 I> McGraw hoped the American league in it's infancy back in 1902, and he may decide to do the same thing now. He quit as leader of the Baltimore club to go over to John Brush as manager of the Giants. There was quite a piece of change in the transfer for McGraw, I and there Is a whole lot more at stake 1 right now.
