Yesterday, when things ere very bumpy, practically every che of the players came in for the Hartford 1azz, than which there is ny razzier. “Clarkin has a fine stadi:inmand now all he needs is a team to play in it,” one of the “faithful” was heard to say on the way out. Interest In the Girls' Industrial League games which are played at Walnut Hill park, was at fevey pitch last night when the North & Judd and Stanley Works teams clashed. The game was marred time and again by the spectators who inasted on crowding onto the sidelinesiand interrupting play. The remarks ad- dressed by some of the spectatory to members of both teams were #so i uncalled for and unless the fans take a different attitude, the league cer- tainly wil not continue. Jack Dempsey and Jack Sharkey in the form of two players, staged their bout last night at second base. I was no hair-pulling contest but| SGTi a real, old-time, swinging racket. We don't know which battler won, but one of the contestants walked off the field nursing a bruised jaw. Squeals of excitement could again be heard near the center of the city while the game was in progress and the cheers and howls of the specta- tors who numbered over 1,000 men and women, could be heard for a good distance. The girls’ games certainly are bringing out the fans and if condi- tions are regular and right, they are going to be a great source of fun for both the contestants and the fans alike. LEven the spectators, partisans all, got 80 excited last night during the | game that a near riot would have started if any one of them had made a threatening move. Two policemen on the job were unable to restrain the exultant crew that was backing the winning team while the officers of the law had their hands full keeping the disgruntled ones from showing their ir However, it's all in a baseball game an4 we hope that with the fin- ish of the contest, the bad feeling and fighting instinet will have sub- sided.

SET NEW WIN RECORD By winning ecighteen games in a row, Birmingham in the Southern Assoclation broke the old consecu- tive win record for that circuit. The previous run of victories was made by Atlanta in 1925. The Birming ham club wavered but once during their win streak but managed to get a tie gamg that time. COULD Carson Bigbee, former Pittsburgh outflelder, failed to make the grade as a member of the Seaitle club, humor, more caginess and s more garrulous (with the possible excep- tion of “Dumb” Dan Morgan) than any other manager in the fight racket. He is the first man to go in for boxing management on a mass scale.

Sharkey’s shorter record shows but one first-round knockout, scored over Billy Muldoon in 1924. Both have been knocked out. Once in each career the mighty has fallen. Dempsey's conqueror was Fireman Jim Flynn who downed him for count in one round in 1917. Sharkey's was Romero Rojas who knocked the sailor helpless in the night in 1924, Analysis of the evolution of Shar- key's punch shows a startling in- crease in its power in the years that have dampened the dynamit: in Dempsey's fists.

While Sharkey's victory over Wills last fall was won on a foul, th2 Lith- uanian had all the better of it and that battle served to rank him among the logical contenders for the title. Outstanding among Dempsey’s great fights is his three-round knockout of Jess Willard in Toledo in 1919 for the champlonship. In its defense he knocked out Billy Miske in three rounds, Bill Brennan In 12, Georges Carpentier in four, Y.uls Firpo in two and won from Tom Gibbons in 15, before Gene Tunney outfought him to win the crown in 10 rounds at Philadelphia.
