s o SAME OLD STORY, NEW BRITAIN LOSES Charter Oak Team of Hartlord Is Yictor in Pinfall Match A little black fellow known as “jinx," continues on .the trail of New Britain bowling teams, particularly | when the locals are pitted against a! team from Hartford. Last night at Rogers Recreation alleys the Charter Oak team of Hartford met a selected quintet of local stars and at the end of the third game, the visitors had piled up a one pin margin, enough to give them the $50 purse, which was the prize offered. The Rogers, team got away to a fine start, win-| ning the first game in a decisive man- ner. The Hartford pin topplers were not to be denied, however, and they managed to keep plugging away in} & manner that brought them the scant victory. The scores of the feature game last night at Rogers Recreation alleys and ' the results of games at the Casino! Mlieys, are are follows: SPECIAL MATCH Charter Otlu."lllr!lhvd. Gaines . 04 Orsini .

It is safe to say that the own- ers of the two teams know more about the needs of the various charitable organizations just now, than anybody else in the wide city. Applications to be considered in the distribution have come in by the score. One more step was taken yes- terday, following a conference in which Col. Rupppert of the Yankees, Charles Stoneham of the Giants and Commissioner Landis took part. The pool was split into three parts. Fifty per cent, or $60,000 will go to Commissioner landis for distribution among soldier or- ganizations as he will select. The other 50 per cent will be divided equally between the two New York clubs for distribution among local charities. In other words the New York Giants will play Santa Claus with $30,000 and the New York Yankees will play the Tairy Godmother with the other $30,- 000. Commissioner Landis said that he had not yet decided what soldier organization would get the $60,000 he holds.

McGraw, who said yesterday that he had seen the list of officers put up for election this year. George Burns, ex-Glant and now with the Cincinnati Reds, is Frisch’s rival for the position, and nominees for vice-president are | Jake Daubert of Cincinnati and Jac- ques Fournier of the St. Louis Card- inals. Frisch Will Decline Informed that he had been nomin- ated, Frisch declared that he would not accept the honor. ““This is news to me,” the Fordham Flash told reporters. ‘‘Nobody has notified me of the noriination. Of course I am willing to stick with the other players, but I would not consent to be head of the organization or any other officer in it. I have no kick to make against the Giants or Mr. Mc- Graw; present conditions suit me, but I felt when I joined the union that I ought to support the other players.” McGraw said that he had seen the names of Cy Willlams of the Phillies and Arthur Fletcher, new manager of the same club, on the list of nom- inees; also that of Earl Smith, the Giants' catgher. McGraw delivered a sharp attack against the union, assert- ing that it was unnecessary among major league players. “I can see the need for such an organization in the minors,” he de- eclared, “but for the life of me I can't reason out why big league players should want to band together. They are being treated better than at any other time in the history of baseball.

It was only the fighter's in- stinct that enabled Mitchell to stick. However, under a shower of rights and lefts, Mitchell collapsed for the third time, going down thoroughly beaten. This time Dr. Charles Walker, State Athletic Commission physical | signaled Referee Patsy Haley to stop the bout and the formality of a count was dispensed with, Haley lifted Mitchell's crumpled form, with the as- sistance of his handlers,'and carried the beaten boxer to his corner. It was about five minutes before Mitchell could be restored”so that he was able to clamber from the ring.

It was only after one of the hardest battles of his career, howeve that White had attained this objective. The Chicagoan was forced to bring in- to play all his stamina, endurance and ring craft on several occainus to stave off defeat. In the second round Mitchell had White dangerously near a knockout. Several times in the succeesing rounds White was staggered by the blows rained on him, but in the end the ter- rific punching drive back of the fa- mous White left hook turned the tide of battle. Shugrue Beats Flores Johnny Shugrue, the New Jersey lightweight, gained the decision over Elino Flores, Philippine lightweight, in the twelve-round semi-final. This provided one of the fastest bouts be- tween lightweights ever seen here. Judges Jack O'Sullivan and Andy Griffin and Referee Patsy Haley voted in favor of the Jersey City boxer af- ter a bout that was 'replete with thrills, Both boxers were down ih the course of the battle. Flores lost a gold- en opportunity to knock his rival out in the first round. The Philippine box- er floored Shugrue with a hard right to the jaw for the count of four. Shu- grue was groggy and almost out when he regained his feet, but flores was slow in following his advantage and the Jersey City lad quickly recovered. In the second round Flores was warn- ed four times for hitting low. Shugrue took the third ands fourth sessions, and in the fifth with a ter- rific right to the jaw floored Flores for a count of nine. Shugrue tried to fin- ish his man, but the game little Phil- ippine boxer fought back willingly and viciously until the bell. He was bleed- ing freely from 4 badly cut right ear. Shugrue had the better of spirited ex- changes which niarked each sucteed- ing round to the twelfth. In the clos- ing session Ilores made a whirlwind finish and fought his rival to a stand- still, but his final rally was not enough to turn the tide of battle in his favor.

Portland evened | up matters with another field goal made by the center from the middbe of the floor, On a pretty piay, Mec- Cabe to l.a Har, the latter scored an- other basket.

These two guards held the Portland team to two field goals throughout the whole game. “‘Battler’” Murtha entered the game shortly after the second haif began, and not only played a good defensive game, but also made a pretty fleld goal from the middle of the floor.

Tn the fall he will have practi- cally all of this year's material at his command, the only regu- lar who will be missing from the rush line being Clark, ecen- ter, while the important losses from the backfield will be George Owen, baseball and hockey captain, and Charley Ruell, quarterback and leader ef last goason's eleven. T0 USE NEW §T ADION Princeton and the Naval Academy Football Teams Will Play at Balti- more on October 27, 1923, Annapolis, Md., Dec. 16.—The foot- ball teams of Princeton and the Naval Academy will play in Baltimore next Fall on Oct. 27, according to an an- nouncement at the academy. The game will take place in the new stadi- um; provided suitable arrangements can be made. The scheduling of the game gives great satisfaction here. Baltimore is a strong Princeton City, having given the Poes, Riggs, Stinsons and many other players to the team, and has hundreds of alumni. The Naval Academy also has close connec- tions with Baltimore. The new stadi- um was built specially for football games and can accommodate about 55,000 spectators.

His salary list is one of the biggest, if not highest, in elther | league, and McGraw resents the fact | that his men find it necessary to or- ganize for their own protection. The absence of American leaguers in the above list of nominees may be- explained by the fact that Raymond Cannon, the Milwaukee attorney who ! organized the union did nearly all his missionary work among the National league players.
