BY FAIR PLAY, ! EW YORK. September Tex Rickard will have another for eign heavyweight to use in his elimination tournament to find a logical opponent for Champion Gene Tunney next Summer The newcomer is Phil Scott, the heavy weight champion of Great Britain. Scott has been a long time coming. | Yarious reports have had him on the| way, but his penchant for knocking over the soft Europeans has kept him close 1o the home fires. But Scott is due here in a day or so and the fans will get & chance to compare him with other British title holders who have | shown on this side of the big pond. Phil is of the boxer class. The fact | that he has been able to travel over the long route of 20 rounds means that he is well hardened to ring wavs, | He may or may not make the grade over here.

Convention Mall's de- | feated Northeast Temple, getting a total of 1,817, the three games netting 606, 597 and 614, Jack Whalen had | high set at 399, and Walter Megaw took the high game honor with 150, keen the Athletic Club League also opened | its season with Arlington’s scoring a 2-to-l win over Arcadia. In the Cap- ital City League opening, King Pin| gained two wins in the three games with Columbia. Opening ceremonies were held by each of these leagues. Marine Corps Headquarters Bowling League has been revived and will open its campaign on Thursday night at § o'clock on Convention Hall drives.
