Sisler, the hero of 1922, has not played a game this year because of ye trouble.

Shocker is having a whale of a year with the Browns. Howard Ehmke, with the Boston Red Sox, has been one of the’ pitching sensations of the majors, winning practically half of the victories scored by his club, a tailender. Heilman is having another great | year at the bat. Fred Haney is one of the best utility players in the ma- jors. Roger Peckinpaugh is fooling the experts by a great comeback.

At that time, the Corbin boys won easily, but in the meantime the Portland club has rounded out into a fast, heavy hit- ting semi-pro organization and Cor- bin may have to go the limit to win.

Kaplan's part is well in keeping with the all- star show that is planned as such bouts as Dave Shade of California and Paul Doyle of Boston, Lou Bo- gash of Bridgeport and Panama Joe Gans of New York are on the same card, Kaplan and Garcia are booked for a ten-rounder. The kid is still doing his training at Momauguin, working out with Harry Willlams of New Haven, Tracey Ferguson of Wallingford and Georgie Day of New Haven. His latest visitor is Frankie Genaro, champion flyweight of the United States, who is to box Frankie Daly of Staten Island Friday night at the Nutmeg outdoor palace of sock. Kaplan has very little, if anything with Garcia as every day he has spent at the beach he has devoted some of his time to keeping his hand | in at boxing. He has either punched the bag, worked out on the road or sparred with the other boys who are also using Momauguin as a training spot. Garcia is the king-pin of the Balti- more fighters and the fans of the Oriole city think that nothing has ever come over the pike in the last few years that can show their bouncing Bobby a nickel's worth of irside stuff on affairs pugilistic. Per- haps a defeat of Garcia by Kaplan— if present dope 18 right—will be about the saddest news that the in- habitants of that territory below the Mason and Dixon line will have re- ceived since the Civil war.
