Dutch had plenty of speed and good control, his moist ball working to per- fection. He hit Maisel in the first and issued one pass in the ninth inning, these mishaps being about the only things to prevent his receiving credit for about 100 per cent. The score: r. h'e.

Aetna Bowling Alleys 83 Church Street RYAN SHADES REIMER IN BRISTOL BATTLE Local Bay Slghtly Swerior 10 Fighter From Manchester. i Joe Ryan of this city shaded Bob Reimer of Manchester in a rattling ten round bout before the Bristol A. C. last night. Ryan was the aggressor and did most of the leading. He worked a right to the jawe with tell- ing effect and a right upper nearly cleaned Reimer’s head off on several occasions. Only once was Ryan in danger and that was when Reimer, in the fifth round, climbed over Ryan’s guard and landed heavily on the New Britain boy's jaw, sending him against the ropes. JOE RYAN., In the'ldst round Ryan forged into a good lead on points. Reimer at- tempted the famous George Dixon back pivot but missed by a yard. “Honest John” Willis of this city, who refereed, warned Reimer that that ‘would have been a foul if it had landed. During the bout Chief Belden of Bristol climbed into the ring and in- structed the spectators to be less noisy. Rocco and McMahon, two Wa- terbury lads, gave a fast six round exhibition which would have gone as a draw if decisions were allowed. Happy O'Brien did so much damage to Professor Cairns’ jaw in the first round of th six round go that Referee Willis stopped the bout to isave Cairns from a knockout. A few minutes later Cairns, who conducts a boxing academy, anounced that he had consented to give a ‘“scientific boxing exhibition” and that as he un- derstood it he was not expected to fight with O'Brien. At this the crowd yelled. Kid Bruce of Winsted and Joe De- mars of Bristol went the full six round route. Bruce was too big and husky for his opponent. The show was a big success. The crowd was large and on the Wwhole very orderly. Referee Willis was master of the situation at all times and gave satisfaction as the third man in the ring. Not drop of blood was shed during the entire show and the bill w one of the cleanest ever presented in this state. a WINGS RATTLE CAN. New Haven, May 9—Manager Jerry Connell last night announced the re- lease of Pitcher Crawford, who came to the local club from Providence of the International league. Crawford worked in three games and lost all of them. He was a hard worker hut couldn’t produce. Connell is on the lookout for a pair of good heavers to strengthen his somewhat dilapidated staff. EAST ENDS VS, TIGERS. The East Ends, formerly the Tigers, will journey to Rockville. to- morrow afternoon and play the strong Rockville team. The team and root- ergs will meet at East and Dwight streets at 11:45 a. m. Chalmers or Oberg will pitch and Lynch will catch. RANGERS PLAY RAMBLERS. There promises to be some fast baseball Sunday afternoon at the Rangers' field, when the local team will line up against the fast Ramblers of Hartford.

New York, May 9.—The invasion of Europe by our leading white heavies has been postponed for the time being. Gunboat Smith who, we are told, had signed for bouts with Sam Langford and Georges Carpen- tier, is still with us, and probably will be all summer. Jim Coffey, an- other would-be traveler, has also; decided to stick around a while long- er. Coffey, according to the news- papers, was to have boxed Bombor- dier Wells in London early next month. The big boys must have been sposf- ing about these offers of big purses. It is announced that the Langford- Smith match was called off by tne promoters because public sentiment in England is against the mixing of | the whites and blacks in the prize | ring. What ‘the reason for the can- cellation of the Wens-Coffey bout is deponent sayeth not. Of the trio of heavies who were extensively ‘advertised for foreign trips only Frank Moran threatens to keep his word. And for a time it looked as though he too had changed his mind about meeting Jack John- son next June. According to reliable authority Frank was on the verge of a break with his manager, Dan M\ic- Kettrick, and had practically cailed everything off, when ‘Silent Dan” Morgan, representing McKettrick, who is still in France, had a talk witn Moran and adjusted matters, to the satisfaction of the red-headed Pit's-’ burg fighter. Since the Gunboat is not to go to England after all there is a chance that he will box Jess Willard in the near future. Certainly if the match is not made it will not be Willard's fault. The big fellow says he would rather box the Gunner than any other heavy in the country, and I believe him. Willard has improved, a great deal since that twenty round go with Smith in San Francisco a year ago, and if there is a man among the white.heavies who figures to beat the Gunboat right now uig | Jess is the one. He has been hop scotching about the country the vast ; few months picking up a purse nere | and there, but complains that it s hard to persuade any of the so-called | “hopes” to meet him. No one ap- preciates more than he that the class | of the men he has been boxing is not of the highest, but Jess says that the fault is not his. He would prefer such men as Smith and Moran if they | could be induced to box him. Now that the prospects are dubicus for the Gunner’s foreign trip I think it is safe to announce that a public ! announcement of a Smith-Willard match will shortly e rorthcoming. | Whatever else may be said avout the Gunboat no one can question his courage, and confidence in his own | prowess.

Willard. easiest game, but when it comes down to cases I reckon he will not be found wanting. He will greatly add to his popularity by agreeing to give Wil- lard a battle. 9 These two big fellows have passed the joke stage, and a match between them would settle, to the satisfac- tion of the American public at least, the question of white heavyweight superiority. Surely if any white heavy is entitled to a try for John- son’s title the winner of such a ma:ch would be the individual.

Billy had set the date for May 14, but both men requested a longer time to prepare for the battle, hence the postponement. May 21 will therefore be a great day for the Irish in this section of McCoy, whose name is Rudolph, is a German Jew, and they tel me Mufray is a Spaniard. Can you beatit? If McCoy can trim Murray his stock will take a sharp rise.' At pres- ent there are few who believe he is the “goods.” But if he can put it over on Murray as he did on Chip, |or even win decisively on points, he | will not: lack supporters. But before McCoy can justly lay { elaim to the championship he will have { to prove his right to that title. There {are several others in the running be- | sides Jack Dougherty’s ‘‘champion,” among them such clever birds as Jimmy Clabby, Eddie McGoorty and Mike Gibbons.

C., New 'York city, on May 28. These fist artists are two of the most popu- lar with eastern fight fans now in the ring. Gunboat will get.a big re- ception because of the present war fever, while Levinsky has a following who think he can beat anything in sight. This will be the first move between the pair. WHERE.

After watching Eddie Campi scam- per through ten rounds with the clever Young Fox, of England, one can easily understand why Californians pinned their faith on the youngster to heat Kid Williams recently. Cam) is the speediest youngster szen around | here in a long time. Young Fox is no slouch himself, and is one of the cleverest of the many clever little fel- lows England has sent us in recent years. Local experts figured him (- at least hold his own with Campi. and were hardly prepared for the start- ling exhibition the speedy California youngster made. If there is anything lacking Campi’s box of tricks it is a punch. he has one he failed to show it in the bout with Fox. But for that mat- ter he did not need to knock the Eng- lish boy out to satisfy the crowd that he is one of the classiest bantams ever seen here. Looking forward a bit we can see that Johnny Coulon is going to have a rough time of it defending his title against Kid Williams next month. Any boy who can stop Campi in 14 rounds is a dangerous fellow to tackle. While Johnny is a great little fighter when right it is doubtful if he will be at his best when he boxes Williams. The champion has becn in poor health for more than a year and has not been seen in the ring for a long time.
