Y., Sept. closes. from hie South Manchester Club Will Use Art Johnson Tomorrow—Goodridge to Pitch For N.D. News comes from the Manchester camp to the effect that Art Johnson the former Red Top twirler will, in all probability be used in the second game of the series which is attracting so much attenion, at Muzzy fleld, Bristol this Sunday afternoon. Manchester fans aro making. much of the fact that in past years Johnson has proved to be more or le: of a jinx to New Departure. While the Bristol boys have had some troubie in beating him in other years, they are confident that Art's ancient charm i1 no longer potent. Thia belief ia based somewhat upon tho outcome of tha first Manchester-New Departure game this Fourth of July, when the former refused to abide by the decision of their own umpire and pulled their team off the field, while still one run behind. Y In this game, which only lasted eight innings, the Bristol sluggers had taken very little head of the reputed jinx and treated Johnson to six safa slams, one of which was Greene's wal- lop for three pillows. During this same ssion, Eddie Goodridge was holding up New Departure’s end on the mound and was exceedingly stingy with his hits, three being all he doled out to the hungry and hectic Man- chester bunch. Now that Sammy Hyman put up such an erratic performance last Sun- day when New Departure took the first of the s on's classic series, Manches- ter's hope in stopping the victorious career of New Departure will undoubt- edly by Ar: Johnson. Eddie Goodridge parture’s choice on the mound times in the memory of fans, has he beaten Manchester and that sturdy southpaw can be depended upon to do his best to continue those doses of de- feat unti! the seriea in won. will be New De- Three KILBANE IS FAGING CRISIS OF CAREER Coming Bout to Prove Whether He Can Stage Comeback Cleveland, 17—Will Johnny Kilbane, featherweight champion be able to stave off the youthful Danay rush, or will he emulate the per- of otherchampions who let s be fooled into believing they were as good after long layoffs when they won their tities.? This was the main topis of dis- cussion as thousands of fight fans from all over the country gathered here for the 12 round titular contest at Dunn field this afternoon. Opin- ion was divided, many sportsmen fear Kilbane's hands will go back on him and much doubt was expressed con- ning his yind. It wll be Kilbanc's first championsrip bout in five years. Kilbane is confident that he will retain the championship he won from Abe Attell in Vernon, Cal, on Wash- ington’s birthday in 1912. At that time he was about the age of his challenger of today 22 years. He declared he is in better condition than he has been for several years. Frush and his manager, Sam Harris were just as confident that the champ- ionghip would change hands. 1 am just as confident that Frush will win as I was that my other champion Kid Williams, would defeat Jonny Coulon™ Harris declared. Frust was within the 126 pounds he agreed to make for the fight Although Kilbane is to come in at catchweight, he is expected to weigh about 127 pounds. The betting ranged from ten to eight in favor of Kilbane to even money. Four bouts beside the championship are on the program. Alex Hart, Lor- aine, lightweight and Jimmy Katz, are scheduled for the curtain raiser at 8 rounds. This was to be followed by ten round bouts between Tony Caponi, New York and Teddy Meyers, Buffalo, lightweights; Frankie Rice, Baltimore and Willie Ames, Akron, lightweights, and Jack Wolf, Cleveland, and Johnny O'Leary, Bridgeport, Conn., bantam- weights. All are no-decision affairs. Walter C. Kelly of Buffalo was chos- en as 1eferee, while the judges select- ed were Richard Guy, Pittsburgh and Sam Hall, Chicago sports writers. Arangements were made to care for 30,000 persons. In the event rain causes a postponement this atternoon, the show will be held tonight. A light rain fell intermittently all night, but the ring was protected by tarpaulins.
