Lew Paluso, who lost a close deci- slon to Kid Kaplan Monday night, isf keen for anether match with the Meriden battler, Lew says a jab to the head about the middle of the fight dazed him and he finished in u fog. l.ew has great pralse for the Kid and the Kid is loud In his.praise for Lew's abllity. The next meeting should be a iumdinger. Manchester and Willimantic state lvague teams will play a fifth game Sunday. Georgle Day, New Haven's boxing favorite, imeets Engllsh Tommy Noble in a round bout in the Elm City tonight. ] - New York now hears that Demp- gey and Gibbons will mix it up for the heavy crown in New York this winter, Bob Shawkey, the Yankee's pitch- er, ¢laims that he has been double crossed by Dan Cupid. Maybe Dan got his signals crossed, but at any svent Robert has been sued for 25,- 000 iron men by Mrs. E. B, Thomp~ son of Kansas City. Mrs. Thompson insists Bob oromised to marry her and then re- viged. Bob says it's all moonshine, that » did no such thing. Walter . Johnson, in defeating ‘leveland 3-2 yesterday, hung up his 3th straight vietory. He also fanned six, bringing his alt ime record to 3215 and his season's mark to 149, Outfielder S8am Rice also made a ccord when he hit safely in his 24th “onsecutive game.

The time is again here when sporting pages bristle with diagrams of football plays, easily decipherable by anyone who ever built a watch, or wrote a mystery play. It's gotten so nowadays that any jush leaguer who desn't bring at \cast $50,000 on the hoof is hardly werth signing by a big league scout. “Willle Title Another sign of winter: Hoppe Ready to Defend Against All Comers!” What will Firpo's lady frland‘own in Cuba say when she reads the good senor was rebuked for hugging and clinching so much?

Goodwin Park to Stage Golf Match Within the past two months there hay Beén much interest in helding an amateur-pro tourngment in Connecticut and as the P. G. 0. of N. E. has assigned only one to Connecticut this year the Goodwin Park”“Golf club takes this oppor- tunity to stage an amateur-pro one day tournament on 2 September 22 next at the Goodwin park course, Hartford. This should bé an even greater event than the Hartford open held August 9 and which attracted such wide attention. Tt will be a 36 hele—best ball— medal play — amateur-pro — Re handicap. Play will be in foursomes and pairings may be selected. The committee will aid in com- pleting foursomes upon request but suggests that players endeavor to arrange their own. There will be cash prizes pros and suitable prizes for ama- teurs. The Goodwin park course, now! in excellent condition, is said to be tricky and at times deceptive pre- venting low scoring.

Hartford, Sept. 18.—"Rocky" Geary, a MHartford fbatherweight boxer, last night jumped off the Hartford bridge over the Connecti- cut river in accordance with a bet that if Harry Wills bested Firpo the local boxer wouid jump off the bridge. At about 9 o'clock Geary and a party of six friends made their way to the elected spot and he made the plunge.

Rogers Hornshy who will, of course, be the center of attraction, is now rated by the majority of ex- perts as the game's greatest hitter, Right now, bino and the next in his wn league, Zack Wheat, is 51 points below him. He is also the only man in both major league to pele 200 hits and this despite injuries which have kept him out of the lineup. His present record is the miraculous one of 210 hits and 140, runs for a grand average of .426. all his homers, is even tralling run scoring. Further proof of his superiority to Ruth is found {in comparing their records for five years past.
