Lost u. S. Gunner a Captive

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-Willism
A. Miller, the unaccounted for member
of the naval guncrew of the American
tank ship Campans, is in the German
prison camp at Brandenburg with four
other gunners previously reported
there.
The Campana was sunk on August s
after a gallant fight which she had to
give up because her gunners had no
more shells. As result of that ex-
perience, the supply of ammunition on
all armed ships was doubled.
Miller's home is in Chicago.

LSlsn Corresprndenetl

WASHINGTON, Sept is Intense
interest was manifested here to-
right in the report that Ambassador
Morris had conferred with the Bulga-
rian Minister in Stockholm. State De-
partment officials declined TO discuss
the matter, but it is pointed out in
usually we'll informed quarters that the
conference may have tremendous sig
nihcance.
The United States has never declared
war on Bulgaria, and, apparently, has
no intention OF making the formal
declaration against any OF the four
Central Powers. save Germany alone.
The conference Of Mr.. Morris with tn ,
Bulgarian Minister lent color TO tn F,
belief prevalent here for some time
that the purpose of the United States in
not making these declarations OF war
is to drive wedge into the alliance
between the Central Powers.
Numerous reports Of dissatisfaction
between Bulgaria and her allies have
reached the capital. The Bulgarians
are said 70 be much dissatisfied with
the reported tenor of the German re-
ply 70 the Vatican peace proposal, virr
tually accepting the no-snnexations
idea. Some cables have indicated that
Bulgaria believes Germany might
throw her overheard, if by so doing She
could obtain peace satisfactory 70
her.
1t is not believed that such an oppor-
tunity of causing disaffecton among
the Teutonic allies would be overlooked
by the Entente, and it is pointed out
that the United States would be the
most logical country to engender this
discord.

 on Etna Five

The New Britain Inter-City league bowlers, were treated to a surprise last evening on the Aetna alleys when the Casino five of Meriden, slipped over a duo of victories. after some clever work had been turned in by the players. Johnny Ray of the vic- tors, gave a brilliant exhibition of fine work. smashing the pins for g. total score of $40 which included a mark of 1S7 in the good night" game. Rays work was a big factor in the Silver city boys triumph. Pullan with a. total of 326 was next in line for roll of honor mention. In none of the three names, did Pullan fail to put up century figures and better. Larson featured for the home boys with three scores that totaled 332. His best effort was in the second game when he toppled the naples for a 11S score. Manager Rogers was off form. failing to put up his usual steady game except in the opening clash.
 A margin of two pins in the final game between the Union Manufactur- ing company and the New Britain Machine Company bowlers in the Fac tory league last evening, gave the former victory of two games. The battles were nip and tuck throughout and were watched with interest by a large crowd. The scores:

DAVIS BILL BEATEN
Passage of Law Which Would Sound Knell of New York Boxing Falls to Pass by Two Votes.

Kneu of New York Boxing Falls to
 Pass by Two Votes.
 Albany, April 18.-The G. T. Davis bill carrying out Governor Whitman's determination to abolish boxing is having hard sledding in the assembly. The first attempt to pass 1t yesterday got only seventy-four votes, two less than necessary to pass. There were f1fty-six votes against 1t. The intro ducer moved that the vote be recon sidered.
 When the vote was first counted 1t was found that sexenty-six members. including the speaker, were recorded in its favor, but before the result was announced Assemblymen Bush. of Chemung. democrat, and Bourke, of New York, republican, changed their votes from the affirmative to the neg ative. Three democrats, Bloch, Don ohue and Merritt, voted for the bill. while twenty-one republicans voted against 1t. They are Baxter. Bell. Bewley, Bourke, Cheney, Danser, Da- vies, Dobson, Ellenbogen, Gardner, Green, Kasson Malone. Marsh, N. J. Miller, H. c. Mitchell, Perlman. A. Taylor. F. A. Wells, Welsh and Zim- merman.
 So sure were the legislative leaders that the boxing repeal bill would be passed that money for the support of the boxing commission for the next year has been left out of the annual appropriation bill signed by the gov ernor.

His left darted to Nelson's face repeatedly. and his infighting was far superior to the battler's. The contest was not all one-sided, however. Nelson never failed to meet Welsh, and never did he back off an inch. In the eighth Nelson hit Welsh squarely, but the blow appeared low. The champion backed up against the ropes, but Ref cree Ed Smith motioned the boxers together again. Welsh, apparently angered, then began his only real att tack. He slashed Nelson with right and left hooks and pummelled his body. Nelson soon was bleeding, and at the end of round eleven both men were crimson from a cut in the bat tiers lip. Nelson weighed 132 pounds and Welsh 135.
 Announcement was made at the Naval Academy yesterday that all sporting contests with outside con- petitors had been called off for the remainder of this season. The war situation is responsible for this action. N. c. Strong, manager of the East ern tour of the Leland Stanford Junior University baseball team, received a message in New York yesterday from Palo Alto, Cal. announcing the can- cellation of all Stanford athletics and the consequent abandonment of the proposed trip. The telegram read:
 Action taken today cancels all in- tercollegiate athletic contests. Base ball off"
 Stanford was scheduled to play the leading college teams of the Middle West and the East this season during tour which was to have lasted from six weeks to two months. The Philadelphia Nationals have protested Boston's twelve-inning vic- tory yesterday, Manager Patrick Mo- ran announced last night. A decision. by Umpire Bransfleld, who declared Pitcher Lavender of the Philadelphias out for running of the line between second and third bases in the third inning when Philadelphia scored five runs was the basis of the complaint. Lavender had started to cross the diamond from second, apparently be- lieving he had been called out on g play at that base, but turned and reached third base before the ball was thrown to that position. Manager Moran said his protest was based on the ground that runner cannot le- gally be retired for leaving the base ! line unless intending to avoid being 1 tagged.
