Speaking of Sports TPOVVPVPIVPCPPIPPTLL00PTP Amateur fight fans who attended the tournament of the Mohawk A. C. at the state armory last night, ore treated to ten bouts of real fistic action. The list of amateur fighters is growing every day and cach time a tournament is conduct- ed, new faces are seen breaking into the ranks. Can You Think of the Good Old Days When— e e e Warren Slater and. ‘“Sours” Sahr- bacher were a nifty indoor baseball battery at the Y. M. C. A.? “Gerry"” Coholan, and “Zeke” Lardner halfback when New Britain school had 'a surplus of first class material ? Harry Scheuy alterpated at bowls team with Jacob Weigand, Henry Juengst, H. J. Hopkins and other good players? To our minds last night, the one feature that stood out above all the rest is the constant improvement be- ing shown by Johnny Clinch, who has succeeded his brother Jimmy, as the leading amateur fighter in this elty. More than 2,000 fans turned out Fall River to greet Fred Jean, w Britain center, but the locals lost, 7 to 2, in a game featured by Jean's driving and the all around work of “Jigger” Higgine? Last night, Johnny was matched with a boy who, it was predicted, was out to win. Jim Bernardo, the Hartford battler had appeared in South Manchester Tuesday evening against Barney Youseman of Hart- ford and had knocked the almost unhittable Youseman down four times in the first round. Fred Dunworth, playing center for New Britain high school, broke through Middletown's line in the last game of the season, and threw run- ners flve times for a total loss of forty yarda, the game ending in a 12- 12 tle? Burke and Brimble were the ba tery for the Coe Brass team of Tor- rington when the club was rated high about the state? Any amateur fighter in his weight that can do this to Youseman, has a sock and can fight. Youseman is far from being a champion, but he has a solid pair of legs that hold nim up under a terrific hombard- ment. The Crescents defeated the Clov- ,cre at indoor baseball at the Y.

Jimmy Moe, the New Haven col- ored boy, also suffered a loss in this manner when he took a blow on the forehead: over his left eye and be-| came blinded by his own blood. We haven't seen any- fighter bleed any more than Moe did last night. Tt ssemed that dhe blood just spurted out of the,cut and drenched him. €ASINO He tried to continue, but then called to the referee that he couldl ..o not see and the bout was stopped. Some of the crowd thought that Moe protesting that the bout should not be stopped, but instead| of this, he called out that he w blinded by his blood and evide couldn’t go on. One must remember in these a teur tournaments that the boys pearing in the bouts not season- ed fighters and much cyre must exercised in their conduct. Wurst is a commissioner of the A.! A.
