COFFEY'S Admirers
Still retain hope
Believe Irish Giant May Yet
Win the Heavy
Title
NOW IN THE
RING FOUR YEARS

II was just four years ago that Jim
Coffey the Irish Giant. set out on that
ring career which his multitude OF
Hibernian admirers hoped would land
him the heavyweight championship.
Not that they have entirely aban-
doned hope. for the Irish are of san
guine disposition. but their hero's de-
feat a few weeks ago by Frank Mo-
ran. following a knockout administer
ed by the same sorrel-topped gladia-
tor. last October. has dampened their
enthusiasm.
The fourth anniversary of Coffey's
ring debut is almost cOincdent with
his twenty-fifth birthday. for the jan
nary Of 1891 was nearing its close
when Coffey first opened his eyes upon
the world of Castlerea, Roscommon,
ireland. He was christened James
Joseph and grew up into a big broth
OF lad, working on his fathers farm,
attending school occasionally and
wrestling with the neighbor boys. Jim
was a good rough-and-tumble wrest-
Ter. but he had scarcely heard OF box
ing when he decided to emigrate to
America When the big fellow landed
in Boston in April. 1910, he imme-
diately hiked to Pawtucket, where he
had friends. There he worked in
bleachery for a time and later got
lob as a teamster I'm Providence. Less
than a year after landing in America,
he arrived in New York, where be got
employment as a motorman on a sur
face line.
One cold night Jim's car was held
up by a Gre and he engaged in con-
vorsation with a cop named Tom
Shaw The latter. a boxer and wrest-
Ter OF note in New York police circles,
suggested that they pull off a little
wretling match in the snow to keep
warm. In less than a minue Shaw
was lying fat on his back. The cop
per invited Coffey to come around to
the policemens gymnasium. Jim
didn't know a thing about boxing, but
when the bout was over Shaw had a
great admiration for the motorman
and q fractured rib.
Coney then began to visit a club
where he put on the gloves with sew
eral professional boxers and was tu
tored in boxing by Marty Farrell
Green as Coffey was. Bill Newman
thought well enough Of him to mattel
him with Nick Muller. They met al
the New Polo Club. January &c, 1912
Coney was wild and once knocked his
opponent and the referee down into a
heap with one failing swing. In the
sixth round Muller had enough and
Cofey was wildly cheered by the fans.
From that moment he had big fol-
lowing and although he was soon af-
terward defeated by Soldier Kearns,
he developed rapidly. He started last
year by knocking out Jack Sullivan
and then added to his victims Arthur
Pclky, zone Round" Davis, AL. Reich,
Jim Flynn and Jack Reed. In October
he was knocked out by Frank Moran,
but the following month he returned
to favor by putting the finishing
touches to Gunboat Smith. His sec
ond defeat by Moran has deprived him
OF a place among the first rank OF
contenders for Wizards title, but he

Habit and Memory.

speakers at the Greenfield Teachers

that the slow pIodder gets the most

theory with which he took issue was
that Of the study of Latin and algebra

the high school. He felt his time could
be more proftably spent on other

Why Meat Is High Priced.

city friend recently asked us why his
beefsteak and pork chops are costing
him more than they used to. We were
able to find a number of answers to
this question. The first and most i'm
portant reason is that the animal popu-
lation does not keep pace with the hu-
man population. Secretary of Agricul-
ture Houston recently declared that
while we have gained twenty million
people within the last fifteen years. we
have lost six million head of cattle and
ten million head of sheep. The mum
Der of hogs had increased at the last
count, but if a census of the pig lots
could be taken today, we believe it
would show a decrease as compared
with former years. The thing is very
simple. We have more people, and few
err meat animals, therefore prices
should be higher. Then, too, feed is
high just now. You have to tempt the
farmer with high prices for pork OF
he will sell his grain instead of feed
ing it. When we consider the scarcity
of animals, the value of pasture lands
the cost of grain, and the losses from
disease, we can assure all city inquirers
that the farmer is not getting too much
for his live stock. Indeed, he is not
getting enough. If the city man is pay
ing too much for his chops, he must
not blame the farmer. If he wants tC
blame the packer, or the retail meat
market, that is his affair,-and theirs

Judge Fred NJ. Butler made a formal
order in Rutland county court Thurs
day afternoon to the effect that George
w. Duncan, of that city, hotel keeper,
aged 30 years, recently found not guilty
of wife murder by reason of insanity
at the time of commission of the
act, be confined in the state hospital at
Waterbury for observation as to his
present mental condition. Duncan ap-
pears perfectly rational at present and
1t is believed that his counsel, j..
C. Jones and f. H. 0 'Brien, will eventu-
ally move for his release from custody.
Nuncio Massaro, recently found
guilty of robbery of Domemico Ragosto,
of Rutland, while the latter was intoxi-
Gated, was sentenced to serve not less
than four nor more than five years in
the state prison at Windsor.
Trial of a contested divorce case of
much interest in that part of the state
is William G.. Porter of Pawlet, who
seeks a bill from Dora B. Porter of
Newfane. AT previous term of court
William Porter sued Charles E. Clark
of Pawlet, many years Mr.. Porter s
senior, for alleged alienation of his
wife s affections. A jury gave him ST.

PARTIES TIED IN
RACE FOR house
Plurality Hangs on the Elec-
ton of a Representa-
tive in New Mexico
FOUR MEN MAY HOLD
BALANCE OF POWER

One Is a Progressive Protectionist One
an Independent, One a Progressive
and One Socialist-Ciose Results in
Several Districts.
NEW YORK, Nov. II. - With re-
turns missing last night from only one
congressional district in the United
States, the Republicans and Democrats
each had apparently elected 215 repre-
sentatives.
The vote in New Mexico, which is
still in doubt. probably will determine
which party is to have a plurality of
one over the other.
Returns from little more than one
third of the states show the Republican
candidate for reelection leading his
Democratic opponent by nearly 1000
votes.
AS the returns now stand the balance
of power in the next house will be
held by four men, one a Progressive
Protectionist from Louisiana, one an
Independent from Massachusetts, one a
Progressive from Minnesota and the
other n Socialist from New York.
Their action apparently will deter
mine the choice of a speaker as well
as the fate of legislation which is sup
ported or opposed upon purely party
lines.
In addition to the hope of electing
a congressman-at large from New Mex
leo, the Democrats had two grains of
comfort. One was that an official count
may disclose that Thomas j. Scully had
been reelected from the Sd New Jersey
district. They contended the chances
were that Scullv had been the victor
| by few votes over Robert Carson. his
Republican opponent, to whom the elec
| tion previously had been conceded by
a narrow margin.
The other concerned the Dist Penn
