The big left hander, who was waiv- ed out of the National league, 1is reckoned as a regular by Speaker, The leader of the Indians feels that Smith will fill a long- want on the Cleveland ball club, a southpaw abie to deliver. “There wasn't a chance to send Smith to the minors when Brooklyn asked for walvers,” sald Speaker in discussing the case. “The very mention of the name Smith always took me back to the 1920 world series and the trouble he made for us. I never saw better pitching than Smith put on display in that series. “I was, and am convinced, that no pitcher as good as Smith was in 1920, could be ready for the minors two years later, I refused to waive on Smith on the form he showed in the big serjes and I feel that I made a wise move, “Smith is going to work regularly — SILVER CITY PIN STARS COMING HERE State League Game at Rogers'- Dewey Makes Record There will be big doings in th Rogers alleys tonight and the crr ing and rumbling of the balls and y’ will be but the echo of the battle that the Casino bowlers of Meriden will be giving the' New Britainites when the two clash in the state league contest.

C, For one thing it marks the debut of a new fight club, For another thing it marks the return of the “popular priced"” show, and for still anogher thing it will give the fans a chance to find out just how good Young Leonard, known throughout the state as the “Shelk of Wallingford,” really is. Leonard is down on the books to travel ten rounds with the veteran Tracey Ferguson, also of Walling- ford, and if the “Shelk” can tri- umph in this village feud, even his bitterest critics will be forced to ad- mit that he's good. In the short time he has been in the ring Leon- ard has really made a remarkable prac- tically every boy he has met. There is no doubt but that he is one of the stiffest right hand punchers in these parts but whether he can land that punch on a man of Ferguson's caliber is another matter. In Meri- den and Wallingford the excitement over the approaching battle is in- tense and all sorts of freak bets are being made on what will happen when these two boys get together. A second star bout of 10 rounds will bring together Young Silverburg of Ansonia and Johnny Lucas of Hol- yoke. There will also be a six-round- er between Steve Smith of Bridgeport and George Day of New Haven while Max Maravnick of Meriden and Bat- tling Green of Hartford will furnish the curtain-raiser. Gene Sarazen secks more worlds to conquer. He goes to England May 2 to compete in the British open cham- pionships. Machinists at Top .of ° vidual Record For Game Kenshall Holds Indi l. Pancho Villa and Elino Flores, the two Filipino battlers who will be among the headliners on George Mul.- ligan's all-star boxing card at the new armofy in Waterbury Saturday night, got more work than any of the other top-notchers in the ring today for two reasons: First, because they don't know what it 1s to frame a bout; and second, because they love the game too much to do so if they ever learned how ft's done. Villa and Flores have never put up an unsatis- factory bout. Often, they've scared their opponents to such an extent that, the opponents refused to mix it. Abe Goldstein was one of those whom Villa frightened almost out of the ring. Abe refused to go near Villa's plle-driving right and made a slow bout out of it, \Thu’- why Promoter Mulligan is glad Goldstein isn't going to be Villa's opponent SBaturday night. Darcey may not be listed among the “best three” in his class, but he's a game little fellow, a clever boxer and a hard hitter who is ‘expected to Iet Villa know he was in a battle, Elino Flores tackles Pete August, Bridgeport's nifty lightweight.

That's Bill’'s mission in life, it seems. He never quite reached the top of the heap, but all who aspire to get there have to pass him to do s0. Jack Dempsey did—and Jack's the champ. And now Senor Luis Firpo, the large gent from South America, has flattened him—and Senor Luis, hav- ing passed the sentinel to the sacred chambers of the championship, will probably get'a whack at the coveted fortune-making title. WALKER_ WILL DEFEND HIS TITLE IN NEWARK TONIGHT No Decision Affair—Carp vs. Siki in ‘Dublin Likely — Johnny Wilde Through With Game. Newark, N.

Ther. will be no official decision and consequently the | fouled, or obtain a technical knockout to annex the title. Carp - Siki Again Dublin, March 22.—The prospect of an engagement between Carpentier and Siki is being eagerly discussed here. The question of a purse is under- stood to have been settled. If all the arrangements are completed the match will be held within a few months in a well known football en- Carpentigr and Siki agree that they can hold a return bout in Ireland if sufficient financial inducement is Wilde Is All Through New York, March 22.—Jack Shar- key, the little New York bantam who went to England hoping to get a bout with Jimmy Wilde, world's flyweight champion, and returned to this coun- try without being successful, yester- day declared that Jimmy Wilde has no intention of coming to this coun- try and that the Englishman is through with boxing. Sharkey said that Wilde weighs 125 pounds strip- “It is a physical impossibility for Wilde to make the flyweight limit of 112 pounds,” said Sharkey. “He is prosperous and contented and when 1 asked him if he intended coming to this country to fight he smiled a broad smile that was more expressive than words. He is absolutely through with boxing." GOLF IS PRACTICALLY ONLY SPORT THAT HAS NOT STANDARDIZED BALL Golf lacks one feature that is definitely fixed in practically every other sport, a standardized ball. [ In many record-breaking rounds varjous kinds of balls are used, vary- ing slightly in size and weight. There is no doubt that lack of standardiza- tion offers a chance for argument. If all matches were played with a ball the same weight and size, as is the case in baseball, records made would be on an equality basis. Recently England has started a movement for a standardized ball. The movement is not meeting with much favor among the American pros, who feel that England is seek- ing to get a decided edge in estab- lishing weight and size. The English pros, particularly the veterans, seek to have a ball consid- erably lighter than the one used in this country by our best pros as the standard ball of golf. Their reason, according to our pro- fessional players, is that with a light ball, which will just carry so far, the veterans are able to get just as much distance as the younger players. This is not true with a heavier ball which has greater carrying qualities. It is possible, however, that the| weight question may be threshed out and a standard ball adopted soonm. chances for serious consideration as heavyweight titleholders. Ever since Brennan managed stay 12 rounds with Dempsey, to the attitude of Kearns, Jack and Co. has been: ‘Stop Bill Brennan and then come around and talk tall money.” So away they go to stop Bill and the best they get is a draw, whigh isn't good enough. Brennan will be 30 years old next June. He hails from Ireland, and stands six feet one inch in his silk Jewish Athlete in London is so Strong He Bites Through Steel Story Does Not Exblain if He Also Is So Tough That He Expectorates Rust.
