 Ex-Guardsman Remembers Boys.
 J. E. Crandall who is a former member of the National Guard, to- day sent a check to Mayor Quigley towards the expenses of New Britain's welcome to her returning sons and also volunteered the use of his auto mobile for the occasion. MT. Gran dalPs letter speaks for itself:
 New Britain, Conn.
 Oct. 7, 1916. The Honorable George A. Quigley, Mayor of the City of New Brtaiin. My Dear Mayor:-
 Having noted with interest the plans to give a rousing welcome to our soldier boys on their return, I wish to contribute the enclosed check to- wards the necessary expenses and will be very glad to tender the use of my auto at that time, which I will have decorated suitable for the occasion.
 Having seen service myself I think I have clearer conception of the hardships the boys have suffered and I know that they will be worthy of the highest reception we can plan in their favor.
 If can be of any further service, I am yours to command.
 Yours very truly,
 J. E. CRANDALL.

 Committee to Spend $2OO.
 The soldiers comfort committee at it's meeting last night decided to use $2OO of the $493 in the treasury. It was the belief of the committee that this money could be properly expend ed for band and a dinner to the boys as they will naturally be hungry on their arrival and the patriotic peo- pie of the city are anxious to give them a real home cooked meal The balance of $293 will be reserved for future occasion.
 It is expected that the committee together with the reception committee named by Mayor Quigley will meet again Monday night in the board of public works room to make final plans for the arrival of the troops
 Members of Company E and l. who were sent ome from the border be- cause of physical disabilities, will meet at the State armory Monday evening at o'clock to take action regarding the part they will have in the recep- tion to their former tentmates next week.

Ahearn processes to be quite upset
over the predictions Of the local
critics, who concede him little chance
to win from the phantom boxer.
Even If Mike were as good today
as he ever was, / can beat him now,
says Ahearn but he isn't anywhere
near as good as he was two years

Unwritten Law of Ring.


It seems to be the uuwritten law Of
the prize ring that when man has
been knocked out once by another
that other can beat him j.. their sub
sequent meeting. The history of
puglism is filled with such instances
and the wise fighters of today are
those who do not ask for a second
chance against the man who sent them
to dreamland in the first meeting.
However. Stanley Ketchel was the
one striking exception to the rule. In
1908 Billy Papke knocked him out in
the twelfth round Of their fight In
1909 Papke and Ketchei met again
and ketchel upset tradition by knock
ing out Papks in the eleventh round,
thus regaining the middleweight
championship, which he held until
tho time of his death.
Because of this tradition stuff, much
interest is shown in the coming bout
between Mike Gibbons and Young
Ahern. IN their meeting some years
cording 10 the law, ought to knock
out Ahearn again. But It ia doubt
full II he can do It. 1t would not be
surprising IL Ahearn won from the
"St. Paul Ghost"
Ahearn has developed into real
battler since his earlier meeting with
Gibbons. Az that time has was in the
