1SS3-John l.. Sullivan defeated Charlie Mitchell in three rounds at New York. The bout between the American champion and the clever English middleweight was staged in. Madison Square Garden and attracted a big crowd. Although Sullivan fol- lowed his usual roaring, bluffing tac- ties, Mitchell refused to be intimi- dated, and actually succeeded in stretching the Bostonian out on the floor. Mitchelrs smiling nonchalance enraged Sullivan, and he went at his tormentor so ferociously that Capt. Williams, the referee, stopped the bout in the third round, although it had been scheduled for four rounds. Not long afterward Mitchell and Sul- livan were again matched to box four rounds in the Garden, but when John l.. appeared in the ring he was barely able to stand up and announce that he was too sick to go on. John had the appearance of one who had been having a joust with John Barleycorn, and had come off second best. Mitch ell and Sullivan did not meet again until 1888, when they fought thirty nine-round draw in France.

ALL-STAR BOXING
 SHOW ON TONIGHT
lhIet Ita-Reund Bouts Shou'd Keep
 The Fans in High Fetue.

"Tippy'' Fay's aggregation of light. weights, feathcrweights and bantam weights will perform this evening at Hanna's armory under the auspices of the Pleasure A. c. The card iookk. on paper, to be the best that has been offered the boxing fans of New Brit ain in many moons.
 The opening ten rounder will bring together Frankie Nelson, the sensas tional Jersey lightweight, and Jimmy Flynn, the fighting Irishman from Gotham. Nelson's ability to fight is we'll known to New Britain fans. Frankie met Eddie Ketchel in Turner hall and gave Eddie an artistic trim ming. He made big hit with thef fans and it was at their request that "Tippy'' booked him again. Besides Ketchell, Nelson has boxed such bdys as Jack Britton, Harry Stone, Frankie Mack, Phil Bloom, Young Gradwell K. o. Brown and many others.
 In Flynn Nelson is going up against one of the toughest propositions he has faced in some time. Flynn is one of the sturdiest lightweights in the game. He is fairly clever and paclls a wallop that has sent score of ops ponents to sleep. Flynn has boxed such boys as Phil Bloom, Young Grad we'll, Eddie Smith, One Round Hogan and many others
 The second ten rounder will bring together Young Wagner. New York's leading feathcrweight and Mike Malia, the rugged featherweight of Philadelphia. Wagner is one of usc leading featherweights in the county. He is the boy that Champion Johnny Kilbane is sidestepping, although numerous offers have been made 70 him. Wagner is a fast boy with hard punch. Among some of the boys Wagner has fought are Johnny Dun dee, Patsy Kline, Frankie Burnst Willie Jones, Tommy Houck. Al Del- mont, Jimmy Walsh, Young Briitf Paclxey Hommey and many others VI
 Malia is rugged little battler whq never stops tearing in. Around Philt& delphia he is regarded as the cor1'H champion. He has defeated such bow as Tommy Hou6k, Frankie Flcmink Johnny Victor, Young Marine. Jimmy Taylor and host of others. "
 The final ten rounded will find W opponents Jimmy Reilly, the sixtten year old phenom of New York, ard Hughey Mcdonald, the ex-bantani-> weight champion of the U. S. navsf Reilly made big hit in Pays last show when he walloped sammy Waltz of Hartford. Reilly will have a tough kid before him in the person of Mcdonald and he will have to fight at top speed to whip Uncle Sam's lit | tie Irishman Mcdonald is a fast clever little chap who knows nothifg1 but fight. He is a battler pure anp simple and just the kid to make Reilly travel at top speed.
 The officials will be the same as at Tippy's last show. Honest Johnsl willis of New Britain will do thcy refereeing and Elam KiIby will do the timekeeping.

JAKE DAUBERT, CHAMPION OF
 N. |. swATTERs, 30 TODAY.

If MT. Charles Holiday Ebbets doesn't pull of a celebration today in the City of Churches and Rubber Plants he will, miss one best bet, for this is the birthday of the Dodger magnate's ball team, John Daubert. True, there are a few other players masquerading in Brooklyn uniforms, but, taken by and large, MT. Daubert comes pretty near to being the whole works. Jake, as all of us fellers call him, will be thirty today. as he was born in Llewellyn, Pa., May IA, 1885. There may be better first basemen than Daubert, but you could never make Brooklyn fan believe it, and when it comes to pasting the pellet-- we'll, Jake has led the National league regulars for two annums. Daubert's batting average last year was 1929, his closest rival for the circuits swatting honors being Becker of the Phillies and his teammates, Wheat
 Dalton and Stengel. Of the five leading batters in the old league last year, four of them had Brooklyn blazoned on their buzzums. Spite O. that, the Superbas finished fifth, and during large part of the season contested for the cellar championship
 Tn 1913, among the players participat- ing in more than a hundred games, Daubert led the league with an aver age of .350. Some swatter is Jake,
New Britain herald., 1915-05-14

and if he was on club that had the pennant winning habit he would be hailed as about the greatest ever.
 Daubert got his professional base ball start with Meriden in the Ohio and Pennsylvania league inn 1907. when he was twenty-two. He had had a little previous experience in fiy-s by-night circuit which had disbandeda after a month or two. The big six foot-one busher looked good to the Cleveland management and the Maps swapped Scotty Ingerton for him, but Jake was not given a chance to shine in fast company. In 1908 he was turned over to the Nashville club of the Southern league for further ripen-8 ing. He did so nicely in Dixie that he was recalled by Cleveland, but in 1909 he was sold to the Toledo Amer ican association club. Jake didn't endear himself to the Toledo manage I ment, and he was sent back to the Southern circuit, and finished the 1909 season with Memphis. While he sbatted only .1S6 with Toledo. Jake recovered his swatting eye in the South and hung up an average of .314. Toledo soon had cause to re- l gret the sale of Daubert to Memphis. E for in 1910 he was sold to Brooklyn, and leaped into almost instant popu- larity as one of the great first sackers | and star basemen of the National league Daubert was given a regular berth at first from the beginning of l his Brooklyn career, and spent little time raising the temperature of the 1 benches. He batted .264 his first
 year with the Ebbets aggregation. but
 ever since he has travelled in 300
 company, batting 1907 in 1911. 1908 in 1913 and 1929 in 1914. Tn 1872 he l led the National league first basemen In fielding, and he has always been
 among the top-notchers in that de-
 partment.
 There have been speedier first
 sackers than Daubert and men cap-
 able of more brilliant grand stand
 plays, but for steady, plugging, re- l liable, dependable work Jake at his
 best has to take nobody's dust. He
 has been handicapped in his career by
 being with a club which. since he
 Joined it. has never finished out of
 the second division. Jake doesn't let
 that bother him, but just keeps plug \ ging away, doing his best and turn-
 ing deaf ear to counsels of dis l coura cement.
