Speaking of Sports Tony Travers of New Havea sur- prised fight fans by scoring a techni- cal knockout over “Sheik” Leonard in the main bout of a fight card pre- sented by the EIm City A. C. at the ‘White City stadium in New Haven last night. ! Travers has been considered by mgny to have had a path of roses in his pugilistic career. Many thought that he had hand-picked opponents and they were skeptical of his chances against the hard hit- ting Leonard last night. | However, he started in the first round and knocked Leonard down for the count of six and from then on, Travers appeared to have the best of every round. Ims the sixth, Leonard took the count of nine twice and before the canto was over, his | seconds tossed in a towel. This action on the part of Leon- ard's seconds is about the best way to have a bout end in a technical | knockout. The hue and cry raised over the stopping of the Hudkins- Baker fight in New York the other night when Hudkins received a badly gashed eye, would not have ensued had his seconds tossed in a towel. However, every referee who steps | into a ring is there for the purpose not only of judging the results of every round, but also to judge of the ,condition of a man when he is hurt. Sober-minded critics agreed in say- ing that the Hudkins-Baker bout | should have been stopped when it did because the gash over Hudkins' eye would have been terrible had the fight gone very much longer. The lesson learned In this state | when the Frenchman died in Hart-4 ford last summer after being knock- | ed out, is one that will stick with all who saw the fight. He was knocked out completely and died at St. Francis’ hospital the next morning. | 1t was an accident pure and sim- ple. It could be no other in such a case but it is up to the referees not to take chances in the ring when a fighter is hurt. Tight fans, as a general rule, are blood thirsty, and | good judgment should be used by the referce in any bout before he stops it. He is the closest to the fighters and theretore has the best look at either of the participants. | The officials of the Mohawk A. C. | had formed plans to conduct ama- teur fight tournaments at Memorial | field in Willow Brook park, but after looking.over the situation, they are about decided that the project is too risky.

The New Haven team is one of the best | attractions on the road in this state | and its annual appearance here is | greeted all the time by a large turn- out.

Referee Frankie Portell stopped | the fight in that session and the crowd wasn't satisfied. It wanted to | see Walker unable to arise.

AREAS Cregks and Rivers Overflowing Banks Kansas City, Mo., June 21 (UP)— Flood perils again faced the south- Wwest today, as creeks and rivers, swollen by heavy rains, came out of their banks and swept over hundreds of acres of farmlands. Striking for the most part at the wheat regions, the high waters have added hundreds of thousands of dol- lars to the toll exacted from the re- gion by floods previously this year. Many small towns in Kansas are iso- lated and it was impossible to get an accurate account of the damage. Reports reaching here today de- clared southeastern Kansas, northern Oklahoma, southwestern Missouri and part of Arkansas were affected, with Kansas bearing the hrunt of the damage. The wheat in Kansas has suffered materially, reporis said, with thousands of bushels of the grain completely lost. It is harvest time in Kansas and the combines and reapers were al- ready in the fields. There was still a large part of this year's crop on the stalk. Floods will cut down the pro- duction in southeastern Kansas al- most 25 per cent, it was estimated. The Cottonwood river is steadily rising, it was reported from Emporia, with several towns near Emporia al- ready cut off. Ilood warnings have been sent through the entire valley. The Neosho, Doyle creek, the Marais | Des Cygnes river and other lesser streams all are at flood stage. | Springfield reported the White, Neodesha and other Ozark streams | out of their banks. The Spring river | at Carthage is nearly a mile wide in places. Lake Taneycomo, famous summer resort of Missouri, is rising, it is re- ported, and heavy damage to sum- mer cottages and nearby homes is feared. The lake rose and flooded surrounding lands once Lefore this spring. LONDON EDITOR 15 HONORED IN 0. 5. Rmerican Colleagues Phong | Gongratulations New York, June 21 (UP)—Two day in honoring Ralph D. Blumen- teld, chairman and editor of the Daily Express, London, Eng. | While Blumenfeld's colleagues | were assembled at the Savoy hotel, | London, at a luncheon tendered the editor on the completion of *forty vears in Fleet street,” Roy W. How- ard, chairman of the board of Scripps-Howard newspapers tele- phoned Park Row's congratulations across the Atlantic. Blumenteld was born in Water- town, Wis,, in 1864 and gained some of his newspaper knowledge op the| Milwaukee Journal. In 1887 Blumenfeld was a corres- pondent of the old United Press in Furope and returning from that as- signment he became editor of the | Lvening Telegram. Later he was with the New York Herald before going to the London | paper. ‘Winston Churchill, chancellor of : the exchequer presided at the Savoy | luncheon tccay. “Hello, grectings to you,” Howard teld Blumenfeld., “I want you to know that all your friends in the Scripps-Howard or- ganization, as weil as scores of others of your old time friends ! along Park Row .are with you in spirit, “I want to extend congratulations to British journalisin on their good | judgment in Laving taken you from us. Next to having you here, we would rather have you there.

Rees, farm women. Burley has been held in jail at Montgomery, Ala.,, and was reported en route to Jackson under heavy guard. Although Jackson appeared quiet on the surface mob vio- lence was fcared and authorities were careful to take every precau- tion for Burley's safety. The Negro is accused of assault- ing Miss Rees and of killing both women.

He wanted to be prosecuted as a naughty novelist—but his status as a “Puritan,” thrust upon him by Floyd Dell, hiz blographet, remain- ed unchallenged. Municipal Judge Michael Creed refused to try him after he had sold police a copy of his new and locally- suppressed novel, *“Oil” in an at- tempt to become defendant in a test case of a court decision that had classed his book as ‘““obscene.” It was Sinclair's second disap- pointment at the hands of the law within a fortnight. The first was when Sinclair, after hurrying here from California, was denied the right to testify ~ at the preliminary hearing in the case of John Gritz, Beacon Hill book clerk, who was arrested for selling “Oil.” The reason for Judge Creed's dis- missal of the Sinclalr case today was that Gritz's case already was'® awaiting Mearing before superior court and herce there was no need of a second test case. HORSES NEAR FIERY DEATH Five Equines Removed From plaz- ing Truck Transferring Them From New Haven to Hartford. | Five horses were led from a horse truck on Elm street, a short distance north of East Main street '’ last night in time to avoid being burned whon the truck took fire.

June 21.—~A— |L. |& Nair for the defendant; Tuesday, GROCERS DOING G00D BUSINESS Generflly Speaking, Are Prosper- ous, Gonvention Hears Omaha, Neb, June 21 (UP)— Grocers over the country generally are prosperous and there is reason for them to hold hopes for a bright vear, according to John C. Sheehan, Minneapolis, president of the N tional Grocers' Association which is in session here. Indications are that people gener- ally are buying not only more gro- ceries but a better grade of food- stuffs generally, Shechan said, and the grocers, Irom the small town general store merchant on up to the owner of the huge affairs of large cities, will profit. The chain store, its bearing on the single store merchant and its possibllities and potentialities came in for a great deal of discussion at the sessions last night. The general tone of the convention seemed to be that the chaimn store is not a great menace to the single store owner at present, Conrad F'rey, said the small Brooklyn, N. Y, family of today would rather “sit up to a counter” than prepare a meal and eat at home, in pointing out the influence of restaurants on grocers. Some 2,000 delegates are here. 4 CITY COURT CALENDAR Cases were assigned by Judge Henry P.
