FiStiC History

John L. Sullivan and Tug Wilson fought four rounds in New York on this date in 1882. Sullivan had won the heavyweight championship a few months before by whipping Paddy Ryan at Mississippi City, and he was then at the height of his power. Sul- livan took on Wilson, who was an Englishman, under an agreement to put him away inside of four rounds, but, although the Britisher was a smaller and lighter man, Tug stuck the limit and got the coin. Wilson
 was much superior to Sullivan in science and skill, and the great John L. was made to look like a novice at times. Wilson showed gameness as well as cleverness, for John L. land
 ed several blows hard enough to put the average man to sleep, but they
 didn't have any effect on the valorous Tug. Wilson wasn't the only English
 man who showed up Sullivan, for Charlie Mitchell, who was only
 middleweight, fought John to a 39-
 round draw a few years later. In fact, up to the time Sullivan was whipped by Corbett, small but scien- tific box rs made a better showing against Sullivan than did the big fel- lows. In Wilson and Mitchell the old l War Horse met men who couldn't be 1 bluffed, and it was by sheer bluff that | Sullivan won many of his battles,

chased back to first, stealing that bag to the amazement of players and fans. Of course, a big howl went up, but the umpire could find nothing in the rules to prohibit a player from run ming backward if he wanted to. Hay ing swiped the initial bag, Harry then took another opportunity to try to steal second, and while the throw was made in an endeavor to head him off Fultz chased home with the coveted run:
 Davis commenced his big league career 22 years ago, in 1896, when he was signed by the Giants, having pre- viously played with Providence and Pawtucket New York soon turned him over to Pittsburgh, where he re- mained until 1898. After a short ex- perience with Louisville, Davis quit the game and went to work for a rail- way company. When Connie Mack invaded Philadelphia in 1901 he call ed Davis from retirement and made him captain and first baseman of the Athletics. He remained with Connie until 1912, when he had a brief ex- perience as pilot of the Cleveland club, but soon returned to the Ath- letics to act in an advisory capacity and as a scout.

Y. M. c. A. Holding
 Tennis Tournament

The first tennis tournament of the season in Bridgeport and the Y. M. c. A. Tennis club is on. Yesterday two matches were played off and to- day the tournament will be in full swing. The purpose of this tourna- ment is not to develop why may be the best players in the club but to get everybody on their toes, in tourna- ment spirit, for the tournaments in singles and doubles which are to fol- low. The tournament is stirring up just the interest which was expected including the interest in the public as there was quite a gallery at Sea side courts yesterday afternoon to see the play.
 The first match played was between E. T. Buckingham and w, S.Hewlett, partners. and Gregory s, Bryan and Capt. Cosgfeve, U. S.. A. This was a good match as the score will indi- cate because Buckingham and Hew- lett took the first set at 6-3, while Bryan and Capt. Cosgrove took the second set at 3-6 not being able, however. to hold their place and. Buckingham and Hewlett closed up on the last set as s love. Bucking- ham. and Bryan of course are well known players and the more experi- enced players in the group while Hewlett and Cosgorve have had a

Harry Davis Famous Feat of Stealing First Base

Harry Davis, the famous old star of the Athletics and in his time one of the best first basemen in the busi- ness, was born in Philadelphia 45 years ago tomorrow. The veteran has many claims to remembrance, one of which is that he is the only man who ever stole first base. That peculiar incident has puzzled many fans, but it was actually pulled off.
 It was in the old days when Dave Fultz, later president of the Baseball Players Fraternity, was playing in the outer garden for the Mack bunch. In this particular contest Davis was perched on first and Fultz was on third Harry stole second in the hope that the throw would give Fultz a chance to race home. The pellet was sent to the catcher in time to head off Fultz, who barely managed to get back to third, but Davis made second. Cap'n Harry wanted that run. and he was bound to have it, so when the next ball was pitched he

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD +OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
POLES

Continued interest is shown by au- diences in viewing the largest and best of all recent vaudeville produc- tions "On the Western Front" now showing at the Poli theatre. A re- production of no-man's land, Some where in France, shows to the American public just what trench warfare Is and what the Yankees are doing over there. William Schilling in conjunction with Corporal Edward Bittner, of the Royal British en- gineers, and Private Jack Winston 10th Canadian Infantry. both return ed boys, have co-operated in produc- ing "On the Western Front" They have left nothing undone. Everything is shown in detail-liquid fire, aero- plane destroying, snipers nests, bar rage of fire, boys going over the top and bringing back German prisoners, skyrockets, dead horses, used as ca moufage, blowing up of a chateau used as dressing station, and every thing else of war interest.
 Probably nothing so realistic yet has been shown upon the stage as the scene of our boys holding the trench. "On the Western Front is a magnifl- cent act.
 z Other features on the bill, not to be overlooked, are Olga Petrova 1n "The Life Mask " the Eagles Eye, showing the U-boat bases that were attempted in America, but frustrated by the United States Secret Service.
 On the stage also are Harry Cooper the famous singer, formerly of the Empire City Quartet, Cliff Bailey Duo, Johnny Regay and Lorraine Sisters and Francis and Eldon.
 Hearst-Pathe news also gives re- view of the latest military events or the Western Front, which has noth- ing to do with the act of that namt also appearing.

 The other match was played on the Colorado Ave. courts between Paul Buechler and Robert E. Grasson, partners, and Alexander Alison, Jr., and W. Ratzenberger, partners. This was quite an even match as the score 6-3, 6-3 will indicate, Ali son and W. Ratzenberger winning. The interest is increasing greatly and it is expected that there will be some splendid matches today.

HAVE YOU SUGAR
 FOR YOUR CANNING?

- Owing to the present great shortage of sugar, there is a tendency toward a considerable decrease in canning. In spite of this shortage, however, every bit of produce must be saved-and can be.
 s- There are several substitutes which may be used in canning fruits and ma king jellies-chief of which are corn syrup and sugar beet syrup. The ad- vantage of the sugar beet syrup is that the beets may be grown in your own garden and the syrup made in your kitchen,
 If you want to make some of this syrup for your home use we are ready to help you. We have limited sup ply of sugar beet seed which we shall give away as long as the supply holds out. With each package of seed we will send directions for growing the beets and making the syrup.
 Do you want to be one of the few to carry out this project this year? If Iso, fill out the coupon below and mail to us, and we will gladly forward you the seed-if you do not hesitate sc long that the seed is all gone before your request comes in.
