STAR BOXERS MATCHED Champion Kunz Agrees to Face Chic Brown in Arena A. C. Ring in New Haven, October 8. New Haven, Sept. 15.—Chic Brown, the local lightweight, has been matched to box Battling Kunz, state lightweight champion, in the star bout of 15 rounds to be staged under the direction of the Arena A. C. of this city on the night of October 8th. All details leading up to the match have been tentatively settled and the rival boxers will soon enter training. The Brown-Kunz match has been hanging fire for several weeks. Only a short time ago the boxers were re- ported as matched to box in Brdge- port but this”was later denied. At that time, the managers of the respec- tive scrappers could not come to terms. The announcement that Brown and Kunz will box here comes as a pleasant surprise to local fistic fol- lowers. For a time it was feared that Kunz would carry out his original threat never to box in New Haven again. Kunz, however, has received a flattering offer which he cannot very well afford to pass up. The coming meeting will mark the third between the two. RAMBLERS TO PRACTICE.

The Boston twirler held the Giants in check during the rest of the game, but the damage had been | { done. Perritt pitched much more splendid { ball than the base hit column would tend to show.

When he was picked up and carried out of the ring he complained that he had hurt his ankle and was un- able to rise before being counted out. Bloom hardly put a glove on the champion. In the first round Leon- ard dropped the Brooklyn boxer with a left hook to the jaw and Bloom rested for the count of nine before getting up. He was apparently afraid | of the champion and made hardly an effort to land a punch. The second round was on just a few seconds when Leonard’s right connected with Bloom's jaw and he started to reel. A second one, land- ing in the same place, ended the fight.
