NEW M|DDLEWE|GHT
CHAMPION IS NOT
VERY WELL KNOWN
Johnny Wilson, of Boston,
Steps in UnheraIded and
Wins Mike 0'DoWd's Crown
of MiddIeWeiqht Champ.

About the first thing Johnny Wilson,
snew middleweight champion, Is going to
DO is to take his recenuy-won crown
Ito a reputable .jeweler and have the
Kinks taken out of it and some OF
Ithe missing settings replaced.
For that poor crown has been pretty
BADLY battered these last few years.
and judging from Wilson's showing
against its previous owner, one Michael
ISsDowd, the new possessor ought to
ing little money on it.
i The aforesaid crown had been rough
BY handled before that memorable day,
April Z, 1914, when George Chip and
lAl Mccoy stepped into the ring and
Mccoy laid George low with one wall

Ithat fateful day didn't stamp him as
'the real goods. Why, he fought George

decision affairs,
Mike O'Dowd, November IT, 1917 in
New York, and Mike sprung a surprise
by knocking Al loose from his head
piece.
The bout was a funny affair. That's
about the only expression that tells IT..
that he positively would win the title.
Despite the fact that the bout wasn't
attracting worldwide attention, mo-
|tion pictures were taken of the fracas.
McCoy's famous mule-kick wallops
failed to hurt Mike, while Mike pun
meled the champ all over the canvas.
Mike started out to defend his title
in a willing manner when the war
came along, but after three appear
|ances in the ring Mike went overseas
the only ring champion to go across.
When he came back he got busy again,
meeting Jack Britton, Ted Lewis,
Mike Gibbons and others. His bouts
with the two welterweights weren't
very thrilling, but ODowd gained con-
siderable praise by outpointing Glib
bons. That bout was last fall, and
since then Mike had been going good
using knockout wallop with the de-
sired effect.

USE Of OIL FOR GAS
CAUSE OF SHORTAGE
Illuminating Companies Com
pete With Refiners and
Boost Price.

A national crisis In the supply OF
oil for the manufacture Of illuminat-
ing gas Is arising through the ex-
traordinary demand for gasoline
throughout the country. II was de-
clared at the Bureau OF Mines today.
Through the Burton "cracklin" pro-
cess, enormous quantities OF gas OIL
are being refined into gasoline. II
was stated. and resulting in a sort
ened supply everywhere for the manu-
facture OF gas for lighting and heat
ing purposes.
Gas companies in attempting to OBJ
tain sufficient quantities OF oil are
competing with the gasoline refiners
and sending prices up to new maxi.
mum height.
"Gas oil Is selling at IL and IL
cents barrel as a result OF the
shortage" said j. o. Lewis, the oil
expert of the Bureau OF Mines. About
four gallons OF oil are required in
making 1000 cubic feet OF gas. About
40 per cent of the gas oil supply last
year was converted into gasoline"
>Officials of the Bureau OF Mines be-
lieve that heavier oils will have to be
used in the making Of gas in the
future.
The Introduction OF heavier oils will
result in changes in the candle
power standards of gas making. 1t
was stated. At the same time II will
reduce the cost of making gas.
Mr.. Lewis said that with the intro

burning gas. changes to heavier oils
will not result in losses TO gas con-
| sumers.
Gas Is already being made from
viscous oil in many of the cities of
