LOCAL BOY TO PLAY AT BRISTOL TOMORROW EDDIE GOEB. Baseball fans in Bristol and this vicinity are promised a treat tomor- row afternoon at Muzzy field, when the New Departure team stacks up against the celebrated Brooklyn Royal Giants. The game will start at 3 o’clock, standard time. The Brooklyn team is rated as one of the best semi- pro aggregations performing in this country. It has frequently been said that a number of the players would have no difMiculty in making good in either of the malor leagues. The club carries three fine hurlers in “Cyclone’ Williams, Reading and Wickwire. Willlams, the star of the team, is being groomed for tomor- row's game against the Endees. This twirler is reputed to throw the fastest ball in the world. His record this stasen includes three no-hit games. In a recent game, Williams retired 18 opposing batsmen by the s. o. route. The Giants have played the Man- chester team twice this season, win- ning the first, 9 to 3, and the second, 3 to 2.

I've A NOTIon T DOCKERTY FoR AT Sve SPOT He owss Me -- FHE DOUGH AMD HE OUGHTA Pay UP DOWNEY WORTH $30, ‘CHAMP” WILSON $20 According to Some These - Amounts Would Be Ample Pay New York, Sept. 9.—“Downey was entitled to about thirty dollars prize money and Wilson to about twenty dollars,” said Jim Savage, referee of the bout between that pair in Jersey City on Labor Day, after the meeting of the New Jersey Boxing commission yesterday. The meeting had been called in connection with the holding up of Wilson'’s guarantee. All members of the commission HE'S GOT were in attendance. Tex Rickard, the promoter, and Johnny Wilson and his manager, Marty Killea, were also en hand. Much testimony was taken but no judgment wag pronounced on Wilson or decision rendered in re- gard to the fate of the guarantee promised Wilson at the time he signed the articles of agreement for the match. This was not due to any regard for the middleweight champion’s feelings, because they were hard hit. by testi- mony of all who testified, but because of a desire to deal with Wilson under the protection of his own counsel. ‘Wilson will have another week in which to engage an attorney through whom he can present his defense. Charles Lyons and Charles McNair, two meémbers of the commission, who witnessed the fight, Tex Rickard and Savage all severely criticized Wilson. Chairman Doherty read the contract between Rickard and the fighters, by the terms of which the promoter or the referee was bound to warn either. of the fighters suspected of not put- ting forth his best efforts that the fight would be stopped unless im- provement were shown. Rickard's complaint to the commission was made after the fight. Commissioner McNair said he was afraid to stop the fight through fear of creating a riot among those who had paid gate money. Referee Sav- age asked: “Who ever threw a champion out of the ring?” Wilson said: “I fought to the best of my ability. I fought on the de- fensive. I have always been a defen- sive fighter." Rickard was instructed to hold the Wilson end of the purse in trust pending decision by the commission. It was thought that the decision of the commissioner would hinge large- ly around the failure of Rickard and Savage to comply with the terms of the contract which required action on their part during the bout. Commissioner McNair testified that before the third or fourth round he heard one of Wilson's seconds advise his principal: “Go ahead, Johnny, and fight just as easy as you can. Keep away from his right hand,” and be- fore the tenth round: “Go ahead, Johnny. Only two more rounds and the bacon is ours.” “Wilson could have put up an en- tirely different fight if he had cared to.” Rickard told the commission. “This time he thought only of the money which was guaranteed. I think a man like Wilson ought to be thrown out of the ring for life. He is a dis- grace to boxing, and the match was a disgrace to myself.” TWO SETS OF BACKS. Pittsburgh, Sept. 9.—Pop” Warner, coach of the University of Pittsburgh football squad, is drilling Captain Tom Davies, Anderson, Holleran and Hew- itt as the first string backfield for 1921, according to word received to- day from the training camp at Wind- ber, Pa.

BENNY LEONARD MAY MEET BRITTON AGAIN Arrangements Now Under Way for Bout to Be Held on Colum- bus Day. New York, Sept. 9.—A return bout between Benny Leonard, holder of the lightweight championship title, and Jack Britton, world’s welterweight champion, is one of the puglilistic prospects before the passing of the current outdoor season. The contest is planned as a Columbus Day at- traction in an outdoor arena in Jer- sey City. Negotiations for the battle now are under way and indications are that they will terminate with the bout closed. A meeting of Jersey City promoters and the managers of the boxers was scheduled for today in Jersey City, but it has been de- ferred until Tuesday, when it is ex- pected final arrangements will be made. The battle, it is reported, will be arranged at the old welterweight limit, 145 pounds eight hours before ring time. HEAPHY BACK AT B..C. Football Player Dropped Last Season, Returns to College and Will As- sist in Coaching Team. Boston, Sept. 9.—Jack Heaphy, captain-elect of the Boston college football team who was dropped last spring for failure in studies, is re- turning to the college this fall, but not to play. Instead he will give his time to books, except for such coach- ing as he may give to Coach Cav- anaugh. Heaphy says he plans to prepare himself by study to go out for the eleven next year.
