MANY FAMILIES ARE REPORTED
TO be WITHOUT FUEL AND

Fairfield, Jan. 14.-For the first time
In many years Fairfield is facing a
serious coal famine. The grip of the
great blizzard the latter part of the
week caught many people without sui
Hcient fuel to battle with the terrific
cold and many families are reported
without fuel.
All church services Sunday after
noon and evening were abandoned en-
tirely while the First Lutheran church
held no service during the day. The
Louden Machinery company had but
one days coal on hand Saturday eve
ming and will be forced to close unless
coal is secured. Parsons college is clos
ing all the buildings and rooms not abb
solutely needed and classes may be
discontinued, while the high school will
close unless more fuel is secured.
Many families took their less for
tunate neighbors into their homes and
others are supplying fuel to their
friends and neighbors. A local dealer
borrowed half ton Of coal from one Of
his customers and delivered 1t to a
family where there is serious Illness.
Roscoe p. Thomas, head Of the local
fuel commission, held a meeting Of the
committee Saturday afternoon and for
INFLATED plans to give the city relief.
Two cars were promised for this morn
ing, which will undoubtedly end the
famine.

CHOYNSKI TUTORED
JOHNSON In JAIL
FAMOUS PUGILlST TAUGHT ZIG
NEGRO SCIENCE OF BOXING
GAME BEHIND BARS.

Joe Choynski. battling for his life
with pneumonia, has one chapter In
his life's history that has never 70
cefved the attention 1t deserves. An
old-time New York boxing enthusiast
tells the story in the following man
ner:
"a few months after the Dan Cree
don Herman Bernan affair Choynsh
floated down from Chicago to see Gal
weston. Texas. Jim Hall was there
and they boxed for the edification Of
the sports. Hall was in bad way ply.
sically and Choynski went very easy
with him. When Choynsh was asked
TO meet black husky pusson who had
been boxing With all corners for 81 .
contest at the Galveston Athletic club.
He looked easy and Choynski con.
scented.
The fight was harder than Choynsh
expected. The black was a tough citi
zen, strong as bull and with natural
ability. Choynsd had to watch his
ps and as at various times to escape
the powerful negro's wellmeant ef.
forts to settle the matter with punch.
but finally, science told and Choynski
Put ohO OvOA OA kAO Ul0SA H1dA . CI1lu
and that ended 1t, or should have, but
didn't.
Instead, Sheriff Henry Thomas
stepped in the ring. notified Choynshl
that he. the black pusson and ali
concerned were under arrest, and a
little later the black boxer and the
white boxer were In jail. They re-
manned in Jail for month or two
and, to relieve the tedium of the
days. Choynsh gave boxing lessons
to the black he had knocked out.
when Joe Choynski left jail the
negro was fairly scientific pugilist.
What science he over displayed
thereafter may be ascribed to his
teacher, for the pupil Joe Choynski
taught in jan was the redoubtabls

GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago. Jan. 14.-corn prices eased
down a little today owing to milder
weather that promised some abate-
ment of the railroad blockades. How
ever selling lacked force as forests
pointed to more snow. Receipts here
were next to nothing. Opening prices
which ranged from unchanged to Nc
lower with January $1.27h and May
$1.25@h were followed by a slight
further decline.
In consequence Of the crippled con-
dition Of wire service, business was
almost entirely local. Rallying power
failed to develop and the market
closed unsettled at the same as Satur7
days finish to- H@Ac lower with
January $1.27h and May $1.25h.
Oats tended to weaken with corn. On
the downgrade though commission
house demand increaded and checked
bearish sentiment. Higher prices for
hogs added strength for pork. Arrivals
of hogs were much less numerous than
the estimates had called for.

IE SPORTS CORNER
OSCAR FELSCH is
BEST OUTFIELDER

Oscar Felsch may not be compared
by everybody to such famous outfeld-
ers as Ty Cobb, Iris Speaker or Amos
Strunk, but the cold figures prove
him to have been the best centerfielder
in the American league for 1917.
Felsch had 440 outputs and "a as
sists, averaging 3.02 per game. Baby
Doll" Jacobson Of the Browns had
the same average, but he played only
al games to 1872 for Felsch.
Speaker is in third place, some
ways back, too, for in 142 contests
the great Cleveland gardener averaged
2.73 chances accepted in every game
with his 1865 putouts and % assists.
