WELLS BARRED
BY TIN EARS

Matt Wells, the little Hebrew who
was formerly lightweight champion OF
England, recently celebrated his thir-
tieth birthday anniversary, having
been born on December IA, 1856. Matt
is now campaigning on this side Of
the Atlantic, but he insists that before
crossing the pond last summer he
tried to enlist, but was refused on
account Of his tin ears and his breyity
of stature, which is only five feet four
inches. Matt declares that any time
his country needs him he win answer
the call, but in the meantime he is
out to make a collection of American
coinage. Wells won the British Light
weight title by defeating Freddie
Welsh in 1911 and lost it to Welsh the
following year. Matt was recently
outpointed by Johnny Grifiths at Ak
ron and he has lost most of the bat
ties Of his present campaign, but he
is rstill able to kept his opponents
traveling their speediest gait.
Wells and Freddie Welsh are among
the very few British boxers who are
not now doing their fighting in the
uniform Of his majestys army. Wells
first came to America in 1910 as the
spa-ring partner of Jem Driscoll, the
little Welsh featherweight. who was
one Of the cleverest. gamest boys
England has turned out in many
years.
Driscoll celebrated his thirty-fifth
birthday anniversary last Wednesday,
as he was born in Cardiff, Wales, on
December 10. 1880. Jem enlisted in
the Welsh Horse regiment about
year age and since then he has seen
a lot of active service. He was pro-
NOTED to acting quartermaster serg-
cant last March Jem probably has
more friends and admirers on this
side of the Atlantic than any other
English boxer who has visited these
shores in years and they all hope
that he will have a happy birthday
and many happy returns Of them
Jem lost on a foul to Freddie Welsh
some five years ago, and on a few oc-
casiOns he has been outpointed, but
he went through his long ring career
without ever being decisively defeated
or put to sleep.

CLAIMS CAN-MAKING IS
DETRIMENTAL TO PIANOS

Piano-making and can-mal1ing don't
harmonize. You cant turn out tin
cans by the hundred and expect the
men on the next floor to turn out
well-tuned pianos, according to the
Detroit Auto Piano Co. That's why
the company is suing William r. Far
rand and the Cadillac Can Co., In
Judge Hosmer's court.
The piano company alleges that Il
rented the second floor Of building
at Twelfth-st and the Michigan Cen
trail railroad tracks, from Farrand,
on the expressed stipulation that no
other industry would be permitted In
the building which produced any
noise that might destroy the har-
mony Of pianos.
The walls Of the structure are of
brick. and the beams OF wood, and
according to the plaintiff, this COM
bination not only imprisons all sounds
inside the building. but causes a
reverberation. The making OF prop
erly tuned pianos was out Of the
question, II is contended. as soon as
the Cadillac Can Co. moved into the,
lower floor and began to turn out
cans. The plano makers ask $1,000
damages and an injunction restrain
ing Farrand from permitting any bus
mess in the place that prevents good
piano-tuning.
