Featherweight Champ No Match for Meriden Boy Sammy Waltz’s pugilistic fame sus- tained quite a rude jolt last night at Meriden, “Kid” Kaplan, the fast traveling featherweight of that defeated in every round of a 12 stanza bout at the auditorium. Besides getting the surprise of his life, Semmy, the receiving end of about everything Kaplan pos- sessed in the punching art. The vic- when town, him was on ATHLETICS DIVIDE WITH WASHINGTON Mogridge Gains Verdict in 12 Inning Battle 1 to 0 Washington, July 2.—Philadelphia and Washington broke even here yes- terday. Mogridge holding the Mack- men to three hits in his twelve in- ning 1 to 0 victory in the second con- test. Moore won over opener, 2 to 1. Philadelphia bunched hits in eighth for the deciding runs. scores: Johnson in the the The FIRST GAME tory of Kaplan was received With wild enthusiasm by the Meriden fans and at the end of the bout when Referee Jim Galvin raised Kap's left hand as a token of victory, hun- dreds of fans rushed toward the ring anxious to shake the hand of the little hero. In the other corner, Waltz, once a great idol, sat with only his handlers wiping the blood from his face, and speaking words of cheer in his ears. In all of the bouts last night decisions were given. This dispelled any chance of the Con- necticut's ? ? sport page from giving him a draw. In the opening round, Waltz was sent to the canvas when a crashing right clip to the jaw, hit him on the button. It was one of the cleanest knockdowns ever regis- tered in a Meriden ring. It tended to give Kaplan plenty of confidence, and made the so-called New England featherweight champion wary of his rushing tearing-in opponent. Again in the third round Kaplan sent Waltz toward the floor, his generosity in holding him up, preventing Semmy’s trunks from kissing the resin. Kap- lan used a left uppercut that wrecked Semmey’'s hopes. Time and again he Semmy’s hopes. Time and again he missed it by a hairline distance. Waltz's pretty countenance was bad- ly mussed. Meriden Promoters Sore. There was considerable dissatis- faction shown on the part of the Mer- iden fans over the alleged tactics employed by Waltz’s handlers yes- terday. It was said that the Hart- ford boys’ handlers were not par- ticularly anxious about staging the bout last night and rather than call it off the Meriden promoters acceded to practically every demand made on them. Around the Meriden Elks club and in eating places after the fight it was told by several men that at the end of the sixth round Waltz pleaded with Kaplan to “layoff’ punching him so hard and often. This of course is a matter of conjecture whether such happened or not. ‘Waltz Admirers Lose. The Hartford fans and some from this city were cock-sure that Waltz would be able to dispose of Kaplan without much difficulty. Long odds were offered on the Capitol City boy to stow away his opponent. It was figured that the Meriden oy lacked the experience to stay in with Sem- my the entire distance. Meriden fans were loud in their praise of the work of Kaplan, but were also decent enough to lay off mention of his being the New England featherweight champion while Al Shubert is still the rightful holder of the title. The Other Bouts. In the semi-final bout Tracey Fer- guson of Wallingford, made short work of Soldier Bernard of Fair In the second bout of the night, Young Leonard of Wallingford and George Hebor of Meriden, tugged and wrestled through six rounds of un- satisfactory milling. Twice Hebor was thrown out of the ring by the rushes of his opponent. In the last round Referee Galvin waved Leon- ard to his corner after Hebor had fallen through the ropes to the floor, but the Meriden boy wanted to con- tinue. He was allowed to do so and as a result of Leonard's work, he was given the award. “A newcomer, George Lynch, Meriden, gave the crowd a thrill the opening four-round bout Spike Marino, of New Haven, his classy exhibition which won for him the award. of in with by easily AVIATORS ARE BARRED.
