MICKEY TRAVFRS
 DEFEATS WAGNER
New HaVener Springs Surprise
 When He Meets Phily Boxer

Mickey Travers of New Haven wor the decision over Eddie Wagner oi Philadelphia in a 12-round bout al New Haven last night.
 In a preliminary bout Willie Shu. grue of Waterbury won the decision over Johnny Corbett of Chicopee Falls. Mass.
 Wagner made Travers look foolish in the first part of the fight but the Elm City youth picked up wonderfully we'll and finished in a whirlwind of blows that peppered Wagner. It was Travers' left hook that carried him through to victory and on 1t he re- Ilied mainly to bring home the yic- tory.
 The first round, as most first rounds are, was very tame. In the second Wagner picked Up and made Travers miss repeatedly. In the third 'rravers walked out and landed a left hook right off the bat and followed up with fast body punches that won him the round. In the fourth Wag- ner came back and boxed Travers continually. This was Wagners round by a wide margin. In the fifth Wagner continued his jabbing style of fighting and easily won. The sixth also went to the Philadelphia fighter while the seventh was practically even.
 In the eighth Travers, evidently seeing that he would lose if he didn't go to work, tore into Wagner and landed fusillade of punches. Most

SEVERAL KNOCKOUTS
Luis Firpo's Record Shows That He Does Hold An Awful Wallop in His
Z The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 New York, Sept. 11,-Before he opened his Atlantic City training camp Luis Angel Firpo, challenger for the world heavyweight cham pionship, got in some battling prac- tice at the expense of the some lesser known heavyweights of the country. Firpo engaged in six contests, four of which he won with knockouts.
 The Argentian's knockout victims were Italian Jack Herman, Jim Hib- bard, Charley Weinert and Joe Burke. Homer Smith and Joe Downey man. aged to stay the limit with Firpo, but they absorbed terrific punishment.
 Herman, who had fallen before Firpo's punches last year in Brook lyn, took the count in two rounds at Havana. Hubbard was the next vic- tim in three rounds at Mexico City. Joe Burke, a Detroit heavyweight, was knocked out in less than two rounds at Grand Rapids, Mich.
 Smith proved the surprise of the South Americans tour. Although foored one or more times in every one of the ten rounds, Smith was still on his feet when the contest ended. The match was staged in Omaha, Neb.
 Charlie Weinert of Newark was punched into defeat soon after the start of the second round at Philadel- phia.
 City and state officials took hand in Firpo's match with Joe Downey at Indianapolis. Governor McCray of Indiana ruled that the men should wear Is ounce gloves and that the po- lice should arrest both boxers if in their Judgment the match developed into prize fight. Downey was so se verely punished in ten rounds that he was taken to hospital suffering a slight brain concussion.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Baseball fans have keen interest in the big stars of the game. After every contest in which some of the leading lights appear, there's always big following outside the dressing room door to get a closeup of the favorites. What kind of fellow is So and So /? That is a common question asked about the famous men of the diamond.
 Perhaps no player in the game has had more spectacular career than Walter Johnson. Coming to the Amer ican League an unknown rookie pitch CT, inside of month he was the sen- sation of the circuit
 Until the coming of the lively ball most of the glamor of the diamond centered around the pitcher. He was the big hero.
 But the lively ball and Babe Ruth have changed things. The slugger is the hero of today in baseball. The player with the healthy wallop in his bat gets the loud applause
 Johnson is Big Favorite
 nat hlflu ol d lelloW IS WdlIeT Johnson?
 That question has been asked me hundreds of times after Walter would perform some brilliant pitch ing feat.
 No finer fellow ever graced the major leagues"
 In one short sentence that sums up the feeling of every player and umpire in the big show.
 "They don't make lem any better" is the way I have heard scores of players size up Johnson in discuss ing the great pitcher.
 During his long career in the ma jors Johnson always has won and lost on his merits. Never has he

CONLEY IS ELECTED
Catholic University Gridiron Veteran Will Pilot All-New Britain-Ashley Looks Good.

AfoohS NsOSus
 Jimmy (Uncle) Conley, formerl, star end on the Catholic University football team. was elected captain of the Ali-New Britain team at d meet ing held last evening.
 This assures the team of a popu- lar and capable leader.
 Definite information that New Brit. ain is to be represented by a fast football eleven this fall was received by the fans last night with genuine satisfaction and both Jack Lash and Dr. Waskowtz, who are the sports men backing the project, assure SUD- porters of the team that it will in every way measure up to previous years and then some.
 One of the new corners in the squad is stanton Ashley of this city, for merly a star on the High school eleven and during his college career wonder-player at Middlebury where he was regarded as one of New Eng lands best backfield men. Short of stature, but hard as nails and fast as fash, Ashley is wizard in a broken field and his strength enables him to hit the line with astonishing results. He will be one of the quar- terback candidates, but probably will also be seen in a balfback position as well. Dewey Carpenter also will be on the quarterback squad and these two men alone assure a cap able field general.
 The list of candidates, published last night, includes several former star college men as well as others of proven ability

EXECUTED FOR USING COAL
Under Edict Issued by Edward | Of

In 1906 King Edward I Of England

of coal as fuel in London a capital Of
Tense. One ease is on record where an
accused man vas tried, found guilty of
burning coal, condemned and promptly
executed.
The invisible, gaseous products of
the combustion of coal were early pro-
nounced detrimental to health and veg
citation. Resentment became intense
when ladies' of rank, their faces made
fairer by liberal applications of pow
der, underwent n curious change of
complexion whenever they sat near a
coal fire.
The nature of the smoke and odor
from burning coal remained n mystery
until after the middle of the Seven
teenth century, when an alchemlst de-
vised an ingenious process of heating
coal in the absence Of air. The liquor
obtained was known ms "oil OF coal"
and was sold ms n most potent remedy
for many nilments.-Detroit News.
