Waterbury, Jan. 29.-Uuheralded and unsung, three young boxers from San Antonio, Texas, blew into Waterbury last fall, pilotcd by Al Calucol. These boys were Chuck Burns, middleweight; Brookie Stephens, lightweight, and Kid Pancho, a fyweight.
 These boys came North looking for action. They had cleaned up everything in sight in their rospec- tive classes throughout the South and were looking for more worlds to conquer. But they found the frigd North d bit tougher to break into then they expected. They couldn't seem to get anyone to give them a chance until Genial George Mulligan, the local promoter saw them ill action in Joe Shugrues s gym He liked the looks of Burns and put him on at his next show Burns made good all the nice things said of him by knocking out Frankie Mack of Hartford. At the following show. Mulligan put on both Burns and Stephens and both came through with victories Burns putting over another knockout, and Stephens outpointing the cocky Georgie Day of New Haven.
 All Feared Pancho
 All this time, Mulligan was trying to get someone 10 take on Pancho, the third member of the Rio Grande trio but couldn't. The Kids repu- tation as a boxer had preheded him here and no one at his weight would have anything to do with him. That is not until arrangements were will stage Friday night in the state armory Mere.
 When Mulligan secured the prom ise of Abe Goldstein, former world s bantamweight champion, to appear in the main go, he had to get some one who could give Goldstein a real battle and pancho was his first and only choice,
 Burns Great Sluggcr
 Boxing fans who witnessed the last two Mulisan shows in this city in which Burns and Stephens have taken part need no further state ments of how good they really are. Burns is a two-fiisted seeker of the bulldog type. He'll take two good slams anytime to get over d real one himself and this ability to take as well as give is what makes him popular with ring followers. And 1 don't forget that he is liable-to have to take it plenty Friday night. His opponent, Shcik Leonard Of Wal ltngford, does something besides re- ceiye himself, being the posscssor of good walIop and barrels of courage i in the bargain. It will be q whale l of bout between these two slug 1 gers and chances better than even ! for knockout.
 George Day had been speeding | along on all six cylinders until The met up with Sthphcns-in Il local ring ! last fall. Cocky Gcorgie even be. gan to think he was good enough tc i take on Kid kaplan, but Stephens quickly upset his castIcs-in-the-air He pasted Georgie hither and yon winning the decision, and giving Lor Browns meal ticket q heart-rcnding setback. After this exhibition. thcr, was no question that Brookia wyG there just as strongly as his two Texas mates and in his bout will Harry sutton. q veteran Brooklyn boxer, hero Friday night he vii have plenty to do. sutton kno V, the ring game, has a fine record an( should force Stephens 10 the limit t1 i beat him.

IRISH MEUSEL'S MARK
He Had But Four Assists All Season,
 Which is an Unusually Low Num-

New York Jan. 29-Seyeral unique fielding records were chalked up In the National league last season.
 One of the oldest was made by Irish" Meusel of the Giants. Meusel took part in 13S games. He had a total of 301 chances. of which 2S7 were turned into putouts, four were assists and 10 set down as errors.
 -Four assists for an outfielder over seasons span is pretty close to the minimum in number. But the odd part about Meusel's fielding eff forts was that he didn't participate in a double play all year. Few out post men ever go through a com- plete campaign without getting into two-ply killing once in a while. But not so with Irish" in 1924

LIT TIE KNOWN
Or SEVRES
ORIGIN
Foundation Dates From 1926,
and Works Have Had One
Home Since 1856

Generally speaking, very little is
known among collectors and anna
teurs about the origin of Sevres
porcelain, the superiority of which
is recognized all over the world.
The factory is located in the
suburb of Paris. where it has been
established since 1856. when Louis
XIV, having bought out the original
promoters of the enterprise, In
stalled the works in their present
home. then and for the first time
founding the royal mandatory of
Sevres. But the actual foundation
of the works dates from 1885,
NJ. NORM having established then
4 pottery for the imitation OF
Chinese porcelain, which was the
germ of that which has so long
enjoyed such widespread repute.
At first, however, the Sevres por-
celain was composed only of pate
tendre. or soft paste, an artificial
composition, admirable for decora-
tive purposes, taking color readily,
and demanding q much lower tenn
perature in baking. but too soft
TO stand any wear. The enamel
with which it was covered, an
artificial product as well, was bril-
liant and fusible, but easily
cracked. Such was the compost
zion of the so-called old Sevres.
France in those days did not
