the federation, while the h. C.s

The Livingstons claimed the city
championship last season. but be-
cause Of the failure to get the same

spread so rapidly that nearly every

JIM COFFEY IS
AF TER CHANCE To
BATTLE WILLARD
Manager Says There Will be a
New Champion if the Men
Meet-FuIton Bout
Called Off.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30. Billy
Gibson. manager OF Jim Coffey,
burned the wires between this town
and New Orleans today in an effort
TO have Coffey substituted for Fred
Fulton as the opponent for Jess
willard in his first battle as a de-
fender of his title.
The cancellation OF the Fulton
Willard bout which was scheduled
for New Orleans on March 4, has
made Gibson hopeful Of a chance for
his man against the champion.
"Coffey can beat willard" said
Gibson. "All he needs is a chance.
If Willard gives it TO him there'll
be a new champion Of the heavy
weight division-and a real cham
pion."
The calling off of the Fulton Will
lard bout occasions little surprise.
Fulton is little more than an I'M
known. The only thing he has to
recommend him was his size and
the fact that he has beaten some of
the dub heavies.
When the articles were signed for
that bout the public turned a cold
shoulder in its direction. A willard
Fulton affair promised nothing but
a mild workout for the champion.
The promoters after they signed the
contract, discovered that the fight
fans were not even lukewarm over
the proposed bout.
And then. in a final effort TO prove
TO the public that Fulton was a real
fighter, Tommy Burns, one of the
original promoters, tried to get Will
lard's manager to agree to Fulton
meeting Coffey or Moran in an elm
ination bout before March 4. the
winner to meet Willard, but Tom
Jones turned down the proposition
and the fight is off

When Charles began his career as

buy boat and gasoline engine. Re-
Gently he made the purchase, and then
appeared at the health Office and laid

The latest record made by Charles

"HlCC0UGHS OF THE SEA"
Scientists Explain Frequent Reports
of cannorading Heard in the
North Sea.

Paris.-The frequent reports, which
subsequently were not confirmed, that
heavy cannonading had been heard in
the North sea, have led to an investi-
cation by scientists. 1t was thus dis
closed that the reports of detonations
were authentic, although no firing took
place.
Scientists who were on the lookout
for repetition of this phenomenon
were rewarded by hearing loud detona-
lions off the coast on a day when it
was known that no naval action what
ever was in progress. This phenome-
non was noted along the French coast,
off the Department of Pas-de- Calais.
Able Moreux of the observatory at
Bourges came to the conclusion that
enese loud reports were simply what
the Belgians call "mistpoeffers," or ex-
plosions of fog. They are called "hic-
coughs OF the sea" in Holland and
sometimes are referred to as marine
bombs. The same phenomenon has

the Delta of the Ganges.
After the theory that these detona-
tions were produced by artillery had
been discarded, it was thought possible
that they were the result of electrical
discharges. Finally Able Moreux nc,
ticed that the appearance OF this phe-
nomenon was generally Simultaneous
with reports of explosions of firedamp
in mines.
The electrical action of the sun upon
the surface of the earth, the abbe says,
provokes movements favorable to the
expansion of imprisoned gases where
ever there are assures in the crust.
These gases, liberated from their
prisons, explode and cause at the same
time explosions of firedamp and earth
quakes. The able pointed out that
earthquakes are always preceded by
noises resembling distant detonations
