 The upstate politician is said to be closer to Governor Lake politically than any other member of the last Legislature In addition, he is close personal friend of Attorney John S. Pullman, prominent lawyer of Bridgeport and member of the Board of Education For years Pull man and William B. Boardman have been intimately associated in both a business and social way, and 1t was through Pullman and Hall that the state executive is said to have been influenced to name Boardman as judge of the City court.
 Judge Boardman has disclaimed all prior knowledge of his appoint ment until he was approached on the subject by the governor, and is cred ited with saying that he felt it his sduty to accept

 Judge Boardman has not been ac- tive in politics since 1916 when he was dropped from the Board of Edu- cation~ By failing to secure re nomination as Republican. he is tsaid to have been considerably piqued and at the time there were rumors of his changing to the Demo- cratic standard. Since then he has not been allied with the Republican organization. and is even reported to have refused to join his home district rganization, the Twelfth Dlstrlct Re- rpublican club

 will win by knockout before the sixth round today. The writer can't sse any other finish to the best ad- vertised prize fight that the world has ever known.
 Candadly, I think Georges Carpen- tier has an awfh gall to even think he has a chance against Dempsey Carpenter is nice looking fellow. He's a good fighter in his class put who ever told him that he could lick Dempsey must have been leaning up against the bamboo.
 Bernard Shaw says that the French champion should be the favorite in the betting. He saw Carpenter beat a couple of second raters in London. According to Shaw. the Frenchman is perfect Of course you must re- member that the pink whiskered scribe has not seen many fighters There haven't been many fighters over on the other side for him to look at.
 used to think my old man was the best boxer in the world when he boxed me as kid I had seen DIG lures of Choynski, McAuliffe, Goddard and Jim Corbett but the only man l had ever seen box was my old man. He sure did look like the cake to me
 When I saw George Lavigne. Peter Jackson and Corbett a few years later my old man ran one, two, three tWen- weight. He was an awful Joe to me then.
 Dempsey Real Fighter. Dempsey is real fighter; He has everything a. champion of the world should have. He is young, he Is 1n excellent shape, he can take a COCK ! on the chin and come back. He can hit with either hand and is good boxer. Dempsey has the ideal buid too. He is bit over six feet tall and | in ring costume tips the scales at about | 1s0 pounds.
 what better coTld a fellow ask for than that?
