Speaking of Sports the eight rounders carded for the Tabs' hall on right. Woods will Dattle Lew Goldberg, the Jewish cantor, was first soheduled to meet Wee ‘Wilile, but he became unavalable. Then Ruby Bradiey was signed up only to be taken off the card by his manager after & few days. Charley | their first meeting some time ago in Meriden, A number of queries have been re- celved by us asking why it is that Louts “Kid’* Kaplan isn‘t brought New Britain to fight in a main go here, The answer is becsuse the two cards conducted by the Hardware City A. C. haven't been howling suc- cesses and Kaplan costs money, Monday night's card with two fighting fools as the features, Issy Kaplan and Jimmy Borde, is & good looking lineup. Everything is set for the staging of the six bouts and a full night of milling 1s on the boards. New Britain High school showed a surprising reversal of form yester- day in playing the strong LaSallette team to & 8 to 3 tie, The poor show- ing of the team in its first game in Naugatuck was evidently the form of a team playing its first game, We s predict that the High school will have a finished baseball team within a very short time, . Bat Battalino is destined to turn professional in & month or so, ac- fording to the information that we lave received from a very reliable burce. He will fight & few more ghis 8 an amateur but, as is evi- ent, he belleves that competition in 1e simon-pure ranks will be very #arce for him in the future. — Bat's appearance in this city to- mrrow night to be introduced for th first time since he won the na- tinal title in Boston, will mark Pobdbly his last appearance in this cly as an amateur. He has been hihly honored in Hartford and it 1s)nly right that New Britain should hwe a share in giving him the pludits due him. Hia record of four knockouts §n tle four battles in the champion- slip tournament has never been e(ualled in Boston, and he proved t( be the sensation of the entire turnament, We were told yesterday that Bat- tdino would never get by in the plofessionals because he has no Sdence. The critics said the same thng about “Kid"” Kaplan, but Kap- ln won the featherweight cham- ponship of the world and Bllly Gib- Monday Charley | New York ..... 13 1] ] s(n predicts that he will be the next| lithtweight champion. Fight fans are wondering when | Hily Wallace, who scored a knock- oit over Kaplan last December, will meet the “Kid” again. Billy Gib- sin will either get Wallace into the rig with Kaplan or he will chaso him out of the ring. Kaplan declared after that knock- out that he would chase the next fighters he met out of the ring. He is making good that promise. His work against Vaccarelli in New Haven Monday shows that he is go- ing to waste no time with any op- ponent. Kaplan is bound to meet Sammy Mandell who holds the title of lightd weight champlon at the present time and when he does, our bet will be on the Meriden battler. We have always belleved, though many will disagree with us, that Kaplan is the greatest fiighter people in this sec- tlon of the country will ever see. Slowly but surely Connacticut fans are awaking to the fact that Kaplan is a fighter though the scarcity of the applause given him in New Haven last Monday ' night, showa that he hasn't yet gained any great popularity. The Falcon baseball team will practice at St. Mary's field tonight at 6 o'clock. Manager Dan Malarney of the All-Kensington baseball team an- nounced today that he had secured Bucholz to pitch the opening game against the Falcons Saturday after- noon. Bucholz was *poison” to the Falcons last year. The Kenaington team will play| H the West Ends of Willimantic in the b Thread City Sunday afternoon. It certainly was a pleasant break in favor of the New Britain High school team to have Al Havlick come through so strongly as a pitcher. Al was the tough luck athlete at the school last year when he just fell short of a place on the regular basketball and baseball teams. Hard work this year brought him a regular position at forward in basketball and a regular pobition cither in the outfleld or at pitch in baseball. Stanley Partyka will be used on the pitcher's slab against 8t. Thom- as’ seminary Thursday afternoon. DENY VICTORY CLAIM The Tigers A. C. baseball team derfes that the Mount Pleasants de- fearéd them according to a atory published. The claim of tho Tigers is that the Mount Pleasants defeat- ed a picked team with two Tigers playing on it. These two claim that Gerent struck out only two men in- stead of 14. The Tigers would like to hear from the Mount Pleasants. WEST ENDS PRACTICE The West Ends baseball team will hold another practice sesaion tonight at 6 o'clock on Diamond No. 2 at Walnut Hill park.

LOUGHRAN BEATS YOUNG STRIBLING for Delaney's Crown New York, May ¢ (M — Tommy Loughran of Philadelphia loomed to- day as the outstanding contender for the light heavyweight crown as a result of a decisive victory over Young Stribling, pride of Georgia. Taking seven of the ten rounds fought, the clever young Philadel- phian atoned for two colorless de- feats in previous meetings by win- ning the unanimous dealsion of three judges after a bitter battle at Ebbets fleld last night. Pinning their hopes for a title bout on the outcome, both fighters battled furiously all the way. With groater coolness Loughran met the flerce charges of the southerner with jarring smashes to the head and body. Again and again he got in- #ide the wild swings of his opponent with telling effect. Boxing in constantly {n the hope of restoring himselt to favor with the New York fans, Btribling carried the fight to close range, but gained little or no advantage in the infight- ing. Many clinches marred the bout. In the first three rounds the south- erner's rushing offensive broke through Loughran's guard often. But after that the Philadelphia boy was master of the situation. Ring crities gave Stribling the second and third rounds while the first was even and Loughran had the rest. About 20,000 persons saw the battle which opened the outdoor season and was looked upon as an “'elimination” bout for a match with Jack Delaney. The popular head of the dlvision saw the fight. Stribling and Loughran were close- ly matched In age and weight. The winner scaled 1744 and Stribling 178, A light rain threatened to inter- rupt proceedings, but it cleared be- fore the main bout. In the prelim- inarigs Sailor Eddie Huffman, Strib- ling's opponent in his last New York appearance, pounded out a victory over King Solomon, Panama heavy- weight. Harold Mays won on a foul from Bob Lawson, Alabama negro, in the fourth. George Courtney, Ok- lahoma middleweight, took an easy decision from Chuck Burns of Texas in the third ten rounder. A knock- out after less than a minute of the first round ended the curtain rais- er when Johnny Werner went down for the count under a left hook by ‘Wyoming Warner.

New York, May 4 (#—Jack Dempsey is out of the horse racing game with a profit of $7,500 accord- ing to George Coburn, his trainer, who has bought the ex-champion's horses and will continue to race them under the name of the Canyon stable. The principle money-winner of Dempsey's string was old Kickapoo who won several races after being purchased for $3,600. Dempsey nev- er went to extremes in betting on his horses, Coburn says, his wagers| averaging less than $200. His big- gest plunge was $500 on Old Kick- 8poo at 6 to 6, Although he s selling his racers Dempsey likes horses and plans to come back with “bigger and better stable” he told Coburn over the telephone from California. The wish | to get rid of all excess baggage in| his attempted comeback to the ring is given as his reason for disposing of them now.
