This means that the local | boys are entered for the state cham- | pionship. The semi-finals will be played in New Haven August 26 and | the Is will be played there on the 27th. Larry Mangan's work with the boys never stood out any better than it did last night. He has his team in perfect control and no manager ever had a more willing bunch of players in under him.

We hope to see him matched up agaln | s00n with some other battler, so that he will get the opportunities to show his stuff at regular intervals. Jimmy fs biessed with a father | who 1is interested in the success of his boy in the ring. Most times the | parents of a pugilist are against | their offspring engaging in the busi- | n of fisticufl but not so with Irish Jimmy.” His pater is his greatest rooter and any time that Jimmy gets into the ring his father Wil be right with him.
