every player-piano you have tried has seemed
to make you work." But the Gulbransen is
so Easy to Play" it actually helps you; you can
play for hours without being conscious of effort.

NEW CHAMP ION
LITTLE IS KNOWN
IN F|ST|C WORLD
(By Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, May 19.-When the
news was flashed from the Boston
ringside that Johnny Wilson had won
the worlds middle-weight champion
4 ship from Mike O'Dowd, Of St. Paul,
a few nights ago very few followers
of pugilism could identify the new
! title holder. In few hours, however,
j it was learned that the new champion
was born in New York q years ago
but had made his home in Boston for
some five or six years past.
Wilson, whose real name is Giovan-
nj Panica, was born on East 106th
Street, New York City, next door to
the birthplace of Willie Jackson, the
promising contender for light weight
honors on March 23, 1898. During
that time that boxing was legalized
in New York under the Frawley
law, Panica took part in several pre-
liminary bouts at local clubs and as
sumed the ring name of Johnny
Wilson. At Philadelphia, about six
years ago, Wilson lost to Young Nc
Govern but three months later out
pointed McGovern at a New York
Club. Wilson then went to Boston
where he signed a contract to box
under the management of Marty
Kellcher a partnership which still
remains intact. Wilson boxed only in
frequently up to two years ago but
since that time he has been fairly
active in New England boxing
centers. Among the victories claim
ed for him are decisions over Young
Ahearn. Frank Carbone, Angie Rat
ner. Tommy Robson, George Robinson
and some lesser lights in the middle
weight division.
Wilson boxes with the right foot
and right hand extended and is known
in ring parlance as 'southpaw. Al
Mccoy, who won the title from
George Chip. also was southpay.
Mike O'Dowd won the championship
from him by knockout at
Brooklyn club in 1917.
Following is list of the middle
weight champions since Jack Demp-
sey claimed the title in 1884:
Jack Dempsey, 1SS4-18S9
George La Blanche, 18S9-1S91

EXCESS TICKETS IN
HANDS OF PEOPLE
fBy Associated Press)

VIEENA, May 19.-While the re-
Gently complete city census showed
Vienna to have a population of ap.
proximately 100000, it has beer
discovered that over 100000 bread
tickets are in circulation. The loss
on this excess ration is estimated at
1000 carloads of flour a year.
The explanation is that families
fail to report deaths or departures of
members to obtain the additional
ration for themselves or sell the
tickets to the left-hand trade. The
matter has been placed in the hands
of the police for investigation and
remedy.
