20 Years Aqo
In The Star

The National League plan for
one-man national commission to
govern baseball was defeated at
the annual meeting at New York
and Garry Hermann was re-
tanned, at least temporarily, as
chairman of the three man COM
mission.
The minor leagues virtually
severed relations with the major
leagues at the meeting, asking,
and receiving, permission to con-
duct their own affairs in the
future.
E. T. Manson, favorite to win
the advertising golfers tourney
at Pinehurst, N. c., was eliminat-
ed in the third round by w. M.
McCord. who defeated him 2 up

Mat Evils Forgiven,
Mccoy Comes Back
To Face 0'Too|e

Bibber Mccoy, who several
months ago supposedly was ban
ished forever from the local rassling
pit for slugging Referee Benny
Bortnick, headlines Thursday nights
card at Turner's Arena in a 90
minute time-limit match against
Tommy OToole.
The short, squatty Bostonian is
noted for his villainous methods
and probably will pick up where
the Golden Terror left of last week
The Mccoy is former athlete of
Holy Cross and Mount st. Mary's.
O'Toole has won six local matches,
losing only to Jim Londos. In his
first performance here he emerged
on top in Promoter Joe Turner S
one-night elimination tournament
and since has been in headline and
semi -Windup spots.

Boxing Here Near K.0.
As Archibald Stops
PueriIe Mazza
Second-Round Triumph
Over Setup Also May
Reoct Against Joey
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

A fromageous fragrance has per-
meated the quaint local boxing in
dustry, but while the game is
sQuirming on its tummy there are
no immediate prospects OF improve
ment.
The odorous climax was reached
last night at Turner'S Arena when
Joey Archibald disposed of pitiful,
hand-picked ring specimen, one
Jerry Mazza, in 2 minutes 55 Sec
onds of the second round. 1t was
scheduled as build-up to a feather
weight championship match here,
but it is possible it has ruined
Archibald's rather exclusive follow
ing and, for a time at least, the
faint shred Of hope that local box
ing would recover.
Just New Face.
Mazza was what Matchmaker
Goldie Ahearn termed new face.
Another Of those new faces will ap-
pear here next week when joey
Silva meets Leo Kodak in 10
round feature engagement, but Silva
has given indications of his caliber
Last night he waltzed with Lou
Ambers at Philadelphia and the
bout was SO slow fans vacated the
arena as early as the sixth round.
In a sense, Mazza's performance
here last night was comical, or at
least 1t was more in a vaudeville
than fighting line. He couldn' t
punch his way out Of tattered lace
and he wasn't long demonstrating
the cut glass quality of his chin.
Small Crowd Suffers.
Referee Eddie La Fond, when
Jerry folded for the sixth time,
opined that Mazza and the 7Ol
customers had suffered enough and
called it off. The attendance voiced
it sentiments to Mr.. Ahearn in reso-
nant lingering booes.
Other engagements saw Bobby
Wilson outpoint Ell Brookman. Lee
Rosen register a fourth-round tech
nical knockout over Billy Pickerall
Johnny Saverino deal the same dose
to Joe Sole and Billy Hatcher out
maneuver Johnny Clifton.

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 17.-Navy sees
a big chance to regain this year
its former position in intercollegiate
boxing, or at least produce a team
of the caliber of those from 1920
to 1880, which did not lose a dual
match.
Other colleges have risen in the
boxing field, but the Navy, under
Spike Webb. who has been head
coach since boxing's inception here,
feels that this years team has great
possibilities.
Mat Takes Heavyweight.
An obstacle has been encountered
as to the heavyweight class. AL
Bergner, Navy strong man and cap
tain-elect of the eleven, decided
to switch to wrestling, and Cliff
Lenz, the big football back, has not
been able to join the squad. Lenz
did great work as a plebe, winning
all of his three bouts by frst-round
knockouts.
Lenz undoubtedly will fill the berth
if he becomes available. If not
AL Wallace, center of the eleven
will be moved from the heavy
class. while Bill Worden or Dan
Baughman, two other football play
ers, may fill in at It's pounds.
Captain Is JnOppOsed.
Capt. Gene Fairfax, 145 pounds,
is the only one in the other classes
who has no serious opposition.
There is particularly interesting
fight at 127 pounds, where John
Shepherd and AL Barbee, both of
whom have had much experience,
are rivals.
Leading candidates in other
classes are:
120 pounds - Tommy Bennett,
John Williams, Pleas Greenlee.
1875 pounds-Al Robertshaw, Jesse
Worley, Bill Coyne. Russell Wilson.

 Given Everything
 A. Everything that I have been able to discover and so allocated, yes.
 @. I want to refer to a transac- ton of January IA, 1897 regarding the check for $5,675.
 A. There appears in the check book and stubs of the Connecticut Supply Company a cancelled and paid check attached to the stub. The stub and check have been marked states exhibit 227. The stub reads: January IA, 1897, order of Lapham, Davis & Bianchi, $5,675. To the left and over the name of Lapham, Davis & Bianchi appears in pencil the word "void." The check itself is drawn to the order of Lapham, Davis & Bianchi, signed Francis Fruin."
 @. Can you trace what the check was given in payment for?
 A. The check was given to Lap- ham, Davis & Bianchi in payment for 2,633 shares of the Electric Steam Sterilizing stock.
 @. Can you trace the shares of stock, MT. Brown, for which that check was given in payment?
 A. Shown by the ledger sheet of Francis Fruin the account indicates the receipt of 8 check dated Jan- uary IA, 1897, $5,675 which was credited to this ledger account. As shown, on the date of January 22, 2,633 shares of Electric Steam Steril- izng company stock were mailed. The mailing advice of the brokers firm addressed to the Waterbury Trust company, to MT. c. Olsen, enclosing 2,633 shares of the Electric Steam Sterilizing company stock for account of MT. Francis F,ruin. Va rious certificate numbers are recited on that delivery advice. Those cer- tiflcate numbers were transferred at the Waterbury Trust company to five certificates for 800 shares and one certificate for 133 shares. Those certificates were issued in the name of Daniel J. Leary, address being B Frank street, Waterbury, Con- necticut. Thereafter, the cancelled certificates representing the 2,633 shares which had been shipped to the Waterbury Trust company by the New York brokers were trans mitted to the Electric Steam Steril- izing company. This letter of trans initial to the Electric Steam Steril- izing company is dated January 27 and enclosed the original 2,633 shares together with the new shares for registration.
 Also part of states exhibit 261 is a carbon copy of letter dated Feb- ruary 3, 1887 addressed to Lapham, Davis & Bianchi requesting that brokers firm to transfer the 2633 shares to the name of Daniel J. Leary and upon receipt of those cer- tificates by the brokers, to mail those certificates to MT. Leary at 20 East Main street, Waterbury, Con- necticut.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-05-18

the exhibits, defense counsel point ed out that they could not combat them as they represented no de- fendant. They pertained to Francis Fruin, deceased, they said.
 But Alcorn insisted that they could be admitted under the scope of the information, which charged that in addition to those named in the conspiracy there was a charge against unknown persons"
 Judge Inglis admitted the evil dence on that ground, although Attorney Slade, in arguing against the exhibits, said he could recall no such content of the information.
 It was pointed out to him on page two of the information.
 My recollection is poor" ad- mjtted Slade to Alcorn.
 Not poor-bad," exclaimed AL corn.
 q agree with you in this in- stance" replied Slade with a laugh.
 Forty-four purchase orders, rep resenting charges against the city by the Connecticut Supply com- pany for $10,716.30 in 1936, from which payment of $8,184.67 worth of checks were cashed, were then introduced. The charges were for materials"
 At that point Alcorn asked Brown for a compilation of the total de- posits made by the Connecticut Sup- ply company during the year 1886, precipitating the exclamations of ob- jection from Attorney John H. Cas- sidy.
 we cannot contradict tive can- not meet 1t, MT. Fruin is dead," he shouted.
