M. C. A. Juniors. The Plainville title-holders will again seek first honors, but the other eams are so strong that the race will be a struggle all the way with the chance of picking a winner no |better than that of calling which |way a die will fall. The South church of this ecity, which wound {up in second place last winter, will {be in the race, and the Kensing- |ton Boys' club will enter a team |greatly strengthened since a year |ago. The powerful state trade |achool team of this city has been admitted and is considered one of |the leading contenders, while two |teams from across the Connecticut {river, the Wapping Y. M. C. A., and the Manchester Hi-Y club, w trouble aplenty for the teams from | this section. | The league teams are composed of !boys who have not reached their |21st birthday anniversary. Two {rounds will be played, giving each |pair of teams a home-and-home |series. The schedule is arranged by | weeke, the managers of the two |quintets scheduled to meet each | other being mutually responsible for |arranging the game for the most suitable night.

It was agreed that the problem of filling the place of one of the most colorful players and managers the game has known will not be an easy task. It was Bpeaker who converted Cleveland ‘from a dead baseball town in 1915 to a hot bed of fan- { dom in 1916 and has been instru- mental in Keeping it on the base- ball map since. and world champlionship in 1920 and it was Speaker the dangerous | hitter, sensatlonal outficlder and fighting manager who has been Cleveland's greatest drawing card since Napoleon Lajole sang his swan song.

The former Marine today faced charges of “boxing at an unlicensed club” filed by the commission after his first day of vaudeville on Broad- way. He was taken into custody vesterday. Along with him went the two sparring partners who appear in the skit and swap words and light blows with the champlon. Harry Howard and Frank Muskie, as well as the manager of the theater, Jo- seph Emmett, All were released on bond of 8500 each for appearance in West Side court today. The arrest of the quartet followed the appearance of Edward Curry, in- spector of the boxing body, at Tun- ney's initial performance.

H. G.

Why did Dempsey lose weight The answer is that he had a complete collapse of nerves. | He “broke” under preseure. The old iron left him. Why did he break? Wes it the result of the continu- ous harrassment caused by Kearns’ lagal tortures or a growing convie- superlor ring foe? Dempsey was asked to answer that and he replied: “You may be lleve it or not, but I didn't figure start. T never gave him a tumble. I don't know why I faded, but worry over Tunney and what he might do to me was certainly not the cause.” You can take that or leave it. It may be 100 per cent truth or it may be just as much resurfaced hokum. Whatever it 1is the ballyhoo barons will make the most of it if Mr. Tex Rickard carrles out his threat to reassemble the principal characters for an encore next sum- mer. At any rate Dempsey wasn't right when he faced Tunney. He wasn't right because he had lost ten pounds in three days. There is at present a reasonable doubt as to why he lost them; but there will be no doubt at all when the bLallyhoo barons get through with the pros- pective customers. Worry over Tunney winning?

Mag and Hawkins are now chal- lenging the state champions, Dressil and Unterspan in search of stilf competition.
