SODOCODOOL06000508 $65005 Speaking of Sports Fans who follow fights from this city who attended the bouts at the velodrome in Hartford last night and watched Steve Smith of Bridge- port take punch after opnch on the jaw from Sammy Offerman of New York, were amazed that any man's, chin could stand such a pounding | with the man still on his fect. nith took everything on the chin and the blows seemed not to affect him at all. Chic Brown was another of those fizhters who was famous for & cast iron jaw until he met Benny Leon- ard, lightweight champion of the world, about 10 years ago in New Haven, Brown fights ip New Haven Thursday night against an- other Leonard this time, the “Sheik.” and many are predicting that this will be his last bout. In his palmy days, Brown had just come through a successful series of campaigns. He wasunder the direction of Manager Lew Brown when he won the city lightweight champlonship in New Haven. He followed it up by taking the Con- necticut and New England titles and then nothing would satisfy him but a meeting with the holder of the world's title, Benny Leonard. In that meeting, to the uniniti- ated, it would seem that Brown was the champion and Leonard the chal-| lenger because of the scorn and con- tempt which Brown showed for the champion’s punches. That was the beginning of the end for the New Haven- boxer. Brown tore out ) his corner at the first bell and ¢nased the cham- pion around the ring, Instead of the respect always accorded him, Benny was amazed for a time but shortly he was getting his bearings and he began to work with the consummate skill for which he became famous. Leonard smashed a right fo Rrown's face that would have stop- pad almost any other boxer but, Brown just laughed at him. Just he- fore tha bell rang, Leonard stag- gered him with a right and many of tha customers hegan to put their coats on. Brown, however, came out to laugh in the second round. He lanughed out loud at the great cham- pion. = | The two kept mixing it at a fur- ious pace during the third round. At the beginning of the fourth, Leonard decided the show had gone long cnough. He smashed a hard right to Brown's face and Brown Jaughed out loud. He sent a crash- ing blow to Brown's mid-section and ; ain Brown laughed out loud. An-} other right found his face. | LEAGUE STANDING AMERICAN LEAGUE Games Yesterday Chicago 10, Boston 2. Philadelphia 4, Cleveland 1. (Other clubs not scheduled). The Standing w.

Leonard will never forget Brown, that is sure, but neither will Brown forget Leonard. It was several min- utes afterward before Brown able to recognize his manager. There hadn’t been such a ri-roar- ing fight since the bout between Young Corbett and Terry McGov- ern.
