HIS is the forty-second birth A day of Dave Sullivan. the gal lant little fighter from. Cork whose reign as champion was the brieftest in modern pugtlistic history. Back in 1898, Lave was the featherweight champion of the world for exactly forty-six days.
 Dave was born in Cork on May 10, 1877. He was five feet four and a half inches in height His pugilistic career began in 1894, and he went along without a defeat unciT 1887, when he lost a twenty-round deci- sion to Pedlar Palmer, the English boxer. Sullivan reached the cham pionship goal on Sept. 26. 1898, when he defeated Solly Smith in five rounds at New York. Smith-a Los Angeles boy-had copped the title from George Dixon in twenty round battle at San Francisco .aoout a year before.
 The lad from Cork was something of an accidental champion, as Smith broke his arm early in the cham pionship contest and had to quit. George Dixon was still claiming the title and clamored for a, match with Sullivan. Tho latter was willing, and on Nov. 11,1S98, the Irishman and the Chocolate Drop met in New York and Sullivan lost on a foul in ten rounds.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-05-07

RI or long after losing his title, Sullivan was knocked out by Oscar Gardner, and late in 1899 he lost to Kid Broad. In 1900 he de- feated Broad in New York and stop ped Oscar Gardner in Louisville The next year he fought three bouts with Broad, losing one and getting two draws. In 1902 Dave tried to come back, but was whipped by Terry McGovern at Louisville. Sul- livan was afterward defeated by Young Corbett, Charlie Weary and Kid Herman, and quit the ring in 1905.
 Later he was employed as a ref cree in clubs about New York. No other recent champion had so brief q reign as Sullivan, the nearest ap- proach to Sullivan's record was made by Billy Papke, who won the middle weight title from Stanley Ketchel on Sept. 7, 1908, and was defeated by the Pole on the following Nov ember 26th.

P LILLY Palmer defeated Tom Kelly AS in ten rounds at Coney Island on this date in 1892. Billy was an Englishman and his fight with Kelly was announced as for the bantam weight championship of the world, both having claimed that honor when George Dixon entered the featherweight ranks. Trimmer made a great reputation on this side. and successfully defended his honors against Joe MCGrath and Jerry Bar nett.
 In 1903 he was matched to fight George Dixon for four rounds at catch wefChts in Madison Square Garden. The colored boy weighed 120 pounds, while Trimmer fought at 116 and could make 112. A great crowd turned out and the betting was 10 to 1 with Dixon the favorite The black boy got the surprise of his life that night, for master of ring science that he was, he was out cla syed in cleVeTness by the English man. who won the decision by a wide margin. Trimmer was never defeated in America but lost to Ped lar Palmer when he returned to Eng land in 1895.

N EXT Sunday will mark the anni- versary of several remarkable battles which have helped to make ring history. It was on May II, 1S41 that Ben Caunt, one of the biggest men the game has ever known, achieved the championship of Eng land by whipping Nick Ward. The giant Caunt won wide applause by defeating Ward, a brother of the famous lem Ward, who had estab- lished a record by holding the title for thirteen years, retiring undefeat- ed.
 The battle was fought at Long Warden, England, and was the sec ond meeting between the two men, Caunt having been victorious by a narrow margin in a previous bout It took Caunt thirty-fve rounds, lasting forty-seven minutes, to dem onstrate that he was the better man. Caunt held the belt, the first trans ferable trophy awarded to a boxer until 1S45, until he was forced to relinquish it to a smaller, but more scientific fighter. Bendigo.
 This bout lasted two hours and a quarter. and went to ninety three rounds. Caunt would probably have won had he not been attacked by Bendigo's supporters at a critical moment. During the riot Bendigo, who was all but out, was able to re- cover his strength.
 Caunt had a brother, Robert, who was also in the Diff business, and on May II, 1847, seventy-two years ago today, he fought Yankee Sullivan near Harper's Ferry, Va. This was the first big battle between an Eng lishman and an American fought on this side of the Atlantic, although no title was involved. Caunt lasted only seven rounds. After this bout Sulli- van claimed the American title, but he was defeated in 1S49 by Tom Fly CT, who thus became the first re- cognized American champion. When Hyer retired Yankee again claimed the title, but lost on a technicality to John Morrissey.

P ASEBAIL has come back. No 1O better evidence that this is so can be demanded than the attendance at the games already played in the larger cities of $Ale country. What the reception the sport will have in the smaller cities is problematical, but here in Bridgeport we all look for ward to a big revival.
 The Eastern League this season promises considera ble. It is made up of the most progressive communities in New England. representing the three leading States. Those who hold franchises are men of wealth and confirmed sportsmen. Those who have been selected to pilot the clubs have Troven their mettle. Perhaps the youngest in the point of experience as pilot is our own popular Ray Grimes
 However, Ray carries with him on to the ball field the good wishes of all fans here. He is a capable fielder and a consistent hitter and sets a splendid example for his teammates to follow.

By that. however. it should not be inferred that the club Is merely q liquor shop. The bar receipts except at tournaments are insignificant. Hat it not been for the war, the Lakewood change would have come years before. The strug- gle brought in its train such high costs, especially of labor that the ad- vocates of d big clubhouse, as a so- cial rendezvous rather than q sport ing club, found their case material ly weakened.

THE SITUATION

By Edmund Vance Cooke We took hundred million hands from

 and set them at destruction. We quite forgot that sons are sons and

 crippled myriad others. The man who made us do all this is
 just looney fellow. Whose carcass is in Holland and
 whose soul is solid yellow. We dislocated all the world, we started
 raging forces We cannot halt nor hinder now till
 they have run their courses, And babies cry at withered breasts
 and children's eyes are hollow, And famine clutches half the earth and who knows what's to fol-

 And victims wrapped in sackcloth, sit-

Use moist clothl Double beauty of hair at once

Your hair becomes light. wavy, fluffy, abundant and appears as soft, lustrous and beautiful as young young girls. Just try this-moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw 1t through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt and excessive oil and in just a few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair.
 Beside beautifying the hair at once, Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff; cleanses and invigorates the scalp, stopping itching and falling hair.
 If you care for pretty. soft hair and lots of it, surely invest few cents in a bottle of "Danderine" al any drug or toilet counter. and just try it.
 Save your hairl Beautify it! You will say this was the best money you ever spent.

 Ihe commission found that the cost price to the restaurants had been in creased but 14.29 per cent in conse- quence of the higher wages paid for me week, for extra help and from other causes incident to the rush ot me week. The committee, consisting or Gene Cunningham, chairman; stanley Williamson, l.. w. Peters, s. M. Bailey and Harold C.

Its dinner is SIPS, which is the regular price for the Sunday dinner
 After a conference with United States District Attorney Flynn it was stated that the federal authorities were ready on the receipt of evidence of proflteering to proceed with prose cutlon.
 Prices Not Justified
 "There was absolutely no justifica- ton for any of the increases" said Mir Smalley yesterday "The restaurant men were told as much. We demanded that the old prices be established at once, and this was done, starting with Thursday evenings meal in most instances.
 Our action in this matter was taken following a conference with United States District Attorney Thomas A Flynn, who stands ready to use the entire machinery at his disposal fol prompt action against anyone who deviates in an yway from the orders issued"

 A deep collar and equally deep cuffs of mink are the dominant note in this winter suit. Blue duvetyn, of a shade not dark, yet not too strikingly bright, is fashioned into an all-enveloping suit of service and style combined. Skirt and coat have straight lines, but the plainness of the coat is that of the tunic outline. Reaching almost to the knees, the coat has high waist line, plain in the back, and gathered slightly in the front, under a narrow sash of the material.
