C. quin- tet of New Haven, opposing the lo- cals. All arrangements have completed at the armory, with the bleachers being efected.

In the line- up of the visitors will be: Peters and O’Brien, at forwards; MecCrann at center; Griffin and Tabersky, at guards. ‘O'Brien and Grifin played here last: year with the New Haven Kaceys. The former was the sensa- tional quarterback of the Williams A. C. football team during the past sea- son. Tabersky, last night played with the Y. M. H. A, team of Hartford, against the New Haven Kaceys, per- forming in a sensational manner. Mc- Crann is a former city league ‘'star at Bridgeport ¥ With the Locals.

Tedder Kilduff will also be seen in the uniform of the home team. The big game is scheduled to start at 8:30 o’'clock.

Jersey City, Dec. 19.—Irish John- “oo- | ny Curtin, Jersey City bantamweight, outpointed Midget Smith of Harlem in seven of the 12 rounds of their no- decision bout at the Arena A. C., in the Fourth Regiment armory, Jersey last night. Curtin won every round from the sixth on. Smith won the third and fourth rounds and the first, second and fifth wepe even. It was a spectacular slugfest all the way. ’ The men fought toe to toe through the early rounds, hut Smith eventual- ly discovered that Curtin's powers of endurance surpassed his own. Curtin was able to stand up without flinching wgainst the heavy battering to which Smith subjected him, while the latter weakened under Curtin's blows. Smith tired noticeably under Curtin's steady hammering at the body after the first five rounds. The whole left side of £mith's body showed the weight of Curtin's blows: it was bruised, red and raw. ‘Dummy 934 234 250 265 Holeomh Leupold .. B. Gillett . Schénk | Registers.

KAPLAN IS BEATEN BY *BABE’ HERMAN Galilormtan Removes All Doubt a8 to His Superiority The winning streak of Leuls “Kid" Kaplan of Meriden was halted lagt night when “Babe" Herman, a prod- uet of the Pacific eoast, out-boxed and out-fought the Meridenite, right {In the Jatter's balliwick. Iy award- | ing the decision to Herman, Referee McAuliffe dia the only thing he pos- sibly could do, though it was some- what different to see Mae's hand above some other boxer than Kaplan. The vietory of the clean-cut Cali- fornian was beéyond question and there were few dissenting voices when | the award was announced. In view of the fact that the admirers of Kap- lan are naturally biased at times in their sentiments. regarding the littje battler, it will be generally accepted by those who could not get into the hall last night, that Herman must have won by a mile. As the bout neared its end, wild talk regarding a draw was heard from some quarters in the bullding, but it was idle chat- ter. Beaten at Last. * It was the first reverse that Kaplan has suffered since he met “Kid" Wag- per early last spring. On that oeea- sion it was a case of a boxer outpoint- ing his opponent. Last night it was @ cmse of a combination boxer-fighter winning all the way over a mauler, Kaplan tried hard; as he usually does, but the Califernian had come to the Silver City with a bag full of tricks, and the manner in which he em- ployed them at times made Kaplan look like a novice. When Kaplan tried to slug, Herman usually beat him to the punch. Herman Gets Started. After a lightning first round in which the honors ware even, ierman went out into a big lead in the sec- ond rqund. It has been argued time and again by admirers of Kaplan that it is impossible to hurt him or knock him out. # Foolish talk, of < course. Last night Herman stung Kaplan in jthe second round, and for a time it looked as though the latter would hit the canvas. Only his superb eondi- tion kept him on his feet. Up to the seventh round, with the sixth even, Herman was continually. pliing * up points. Kaplan won the seventh and eighth round. He did manage to sting+Heérman with a hard smash to the head, that sent “Babe” up against the ropes. The Californian was not in any trouble, and the punch seemed to urge him on to greater speed in the remalning rounds. The tenth, eleventh and twelfth reunds were all in'Herman's favor. Deeision Is In the semi-final Willie Shugrue of ‘Waterbury and Young Silverberg of Ansonia boxed a fast eight-round bout. While the Meriden and Hart- ford gdmirers of Silverberg booed Referee McAuliffe’s, deecision of a draw, the award lodked like a good choice. Brothers Joe and Johnny Shugrue, attired in bright green jer- seys, attended to Willie between the rounds. Fast Prelim. Johnny Mason of Bridgeport and Spike Marino of New Haven swapped gloves for eight rounds in a bout that pleased. It was called a draw, but many expressed an opinton that Ma- son had had the better of it. ‘Wins Diving Henors, The short distance diving cham- plonship was decided in the opening bout when Young Leonard of Wall- ingford scored a knockout over Joey Gibbons of Waterbury, a protege of Dan ‘Buckley. It was the only poor bout of the night and, while it went less than two rounds, it was long enough. Gibbons hit the canvas in the first round, but the ring must have hurt his head, becausé he got up for more. In the second stanza, he was more successful in finding a soft spot, and when he went down, he stayed down. Travers on Deck. The bouts were well attended, the band-box affair known as Town Hall being taxed to capacity. Mickey Travers of New Haven, was intre- duced just before the big bout was on, and he issued a challenge to “Ki Kaplan. The announcer told the crowd that Travers has posted $1,000 with the state bexing commis- sfon to bind the match with Kaplan. A8 usual the Meriden fans “ragged” Mickey; but, as yet, Kaplan has to gain an award ‘over the Elm City boy. RAY IN OLYMPICS, Chlcago, Dec. 19.-—Joie Ray, mile runner, whose suspension from ama- teur athletics terminates Januvary 1, plans to train for the 1924 Olympic games, Tom Eck, trainer at the Uni- versity of Chicago, announced today after a cénference with Ray.

For gsome time copsiderahle talk has been heard relative to the progpect for the game hepe this season. The gol- lection of players that the localp have gathered is a good ene, and the team should render an cxcellént aecount of itself on the court.

The mémbers of the Willlams A. G. football eleven received their portion of the season's recelpts at a meeting last night at New Haven. The regu- lars received $203 apiece, while sev- eral of the second string men were paid $101.50. Roger Conti, the French billiard player, defeated Edouard Horemans, the Belgian cue star, twice yesterday at New Haven by scores of 300 to 130 and 300 to 254, The Penn Staté football eleven left today for Califérnia, for the game with the Univérsity of Southern Cali- tornia on New Year's Day.

The Yanks, he declared, have agreed on the three athletes whom they are willing to ship to Chieago, but the Sox balk at hand- ing over a certain pitcher, and that little difficulty represents the inseet in the ointment. Huggins adnfitted that Kid Gleason has consented to part with Eddle Col. lins and Left Fielder Bob Falk, the young Texan. It is known on equally good authority that the Yanks who will go—if there is a trade—are Bob Meusel and Aaron Ward. Byt the Box demand a pitcher, Waite Hoyt, dnd Huggins balks at this sacrifice of, the Brooklyn boy unless he gets a cer- tain twirler in return, “You'll have to guess at the iden- tity of this Chicago pitcher,” sald Huggis. “I've already told you ahout Collins and Falk. The White 8ox also want a pitcher—moreover, a pitcher whomt I can't let go without getting another to take his place,” 1f the Yanks are agrecable to let. ting Hoyt go, they probably have de- manded Ted Blankenghip, the 19- year-old Texan, in return. Urban I"aber is out of the question, for mor than one reason, and Huggins probs ably would not want Charley Robert- gon, of no-hit, no-run fame, under the conditions. That .leaves only Blankenship and Gorham Leverette as possibilities, and it is likely that Hug- gins has insisted on Blankenship, who is one of the best youngsters in the big leagues. He is big and strong, with plenty of stuff and a good change of pacé, and he is young. Chjcago critics assert that he will be a great boxman before he has reaehed his majority, and Huggins was . yisibly impressed by him last scason—the moreé so when the cowboy shut out the Yankees with a handful of hits in the late stages of the pénnant fight. ‘Willing to Trade Hoyt. Last week Huggins refused point blank to part with either Hoyt or Sam Jones, but he has now brought himgelf around te the point of let- ting Hoyt ‘go if the pitching staff is not weakgned too much. With five veteran twirlers and twe geod young- sters in George Murray and Jake May, it would seem that the Yanks eould best afford to give over a little strength in that department, The dickering for May is still in an unsettieq state also. Vernoa has accepted the Yankees’ terms and they ! have agreed on the four players who will be delivered for the left-hander, but the trouble lies in the fuct that other big league clubs have refused to waive on one or two of the quartet. Mike McNally, Al Devormer and Camp Skinner have been mentioned as thrée that may go to the eoast. It is possible that the White Sox| deal may slumber until the league meetings in I"eébruary. Huggins may do a little secret werk hefore that | time, and there iz a chance that he will run over to Chicago for another ! conferenee before February. New Yorlk, Dec. 19—Frankie Jerome of Harlem last night won on a foul in the eighth round from Jabez White of Albany in the Fairmont. ! : Harlem club. The contest, which was { to have been a 12-round encounter, was stopped by Flerie Barnett, the referee, after he haq warned the Albany lad of his rough tactics.
