Speaking of Sports Jimmy Clinch's next fight will be on February 11, at the Foot Guard armory in Hartford, His opponent has not yet been selected though he might be the champion of the 136 pound class in the last tournament, This has not been settled definitely yet, but the man whom ho will meet will be selected in a short time, A thousand pardons n?e due from us to Jack Fitagerald, Our atten. tion has been called to the fact that we stated in these columns that "Teddy Hayes" was the trainer of Jimmy Clinch, Now, it's a funny thing, but we don't know who “Teddy Hayes," whom we had reference to the other day Is, while we do know Jack I'ltzgerald and we have known all along that Iitz- gerald was the trainer of Clinch, ‘The fog that descends on the mortal sphere must havo hit into our brain the day on which we wrote about “Teddy Hayes” and we assure Juok that we won't make the mistake again, Jack Fitzgerald is the man who has brought Clinch to the fore as un amateur boxer and it has been through his untiring efforts in be- half of the localboy that Jimmy now stande on the threshold of the 128 pound state championship. The local boy's followers do not agree that Johnny Dawson of Merl- den 18 his most dangerous opponent. They eay that Jimmy has scored a victory over Pancha Villa who had a vietory over Dawson to his credit, The Meriden hoy's followers are just as Insistent that Dawson is the logical opponent for Clinch and there you are. We think that Clinch can beat Dawson from what we have seen of the two boys. Clinch has the superior punching power and although not as clever in footwork as the Meriden boy, has sufficient clevernees to offset the at- tack the Sflver City lad could send forth, Some promoter would do well (o et these two together in a ring and we feel sure that the bout would he a humdinger from start to finish, To our knowledge, the two boys have never met in the ring. One good amateur bout that would Lring out the followers of the sinion pure game, is a match Dbetween Jimmy Clinch of this city and John~ ny Dawson of Meriden. Promoters of amateur bouts about the stato have made attempts to bring the two together in the ring, but to date have been unsuccessful, Clinch has been mopping up cverything in the state and the AMeriden youth has heen doing the same. Both have heen undefeated in their last bouts and bedause of their prominence in the amateur ranks, a record crowd of fans would 1o on hand to see the milling. Tollowers of the local hoy are hailing him as the champion of the 128 pound cl; He had tv within the past year heat the cl rion trom New Iaven, but by of the fact that the champions are not settled untll the tournament in February, he will have to meet all comers next month to be award- <1 the erown, Clinch fy a fighter of {he heavy punching type. He lands his blows and does not waste a He can take all his opponent can send in and stil paste back with hoth hands, 1o is ot 8o well versed in the fool- work of the ring, but this Is of los ser fmportance in the pugllistic start, “He is getting to taking 1he socks and wallops which cvery fighter must fake now and then and e will acquire that shifty ducking nd sidestepping with experlence, Vawson right now is about clever a bower as there is in the amateur fight game in the state, He Lasn't a terrific sock in either hand but naturally is shifty and quick, 1is folipvicra are confident that if lie meets Clinch, he will cut the lo- cal boy to ribbons by his rapier thrusts, as Tast year, Dawson was fighting at 118 pound The weight wasn't enough for him and he started to arow lighter, It was hard work to put it on and hard work to take it off. Tollowing the advice of his andlers, Dawson stopped fighting unttl he bullt himself up. 1o now tips the beam at 128 and carvies the welght good. He has improved 100 per cent in his ring eraft and a hright future is predicted for him It i nal thing when is heaten to have the losing players crab the referee or umpire, those who attended the All-Middle- town-New Britain National Guards last night. feel that they have a real libi for the losy sustained in the Down River town last night, he a feam Alhear feree, was in sual v night and vhere the locals were used 1o play- ng under a man who adhered strict- Iy to the rules, Ahearn's failure to stop the Middletown travolling last o last night resulted in a number of bash- | winning side that other ould netl have been cuged. e was absolutely calling rison, the vot- w of Middletown courts.

It is well known that when the dimples showed §n his cheeks, he captured the heart of o young miss in New Britain, but when he cracked a smile at Referee Alcarn last night during the game, that werthy falled to scc any charin in it and “Mert called on him.

Anyway, it was a great game and it New Britain ever gets them on the armory floor in New Britaln, we fig. ure that the Guards will have plenty of chances to laugh when a real rof. oreo gots on the trall of the Mid. dletown team, GERMAN SPRINTER WAKES HIS DEBU Moels Still Competition at, K. of C.
