Speaking of Sports We discovered more by accident than anything else yesterday that Johnmy Clinch was il last Friday night whe he stacked up against Billy Taylor in the feature bout of the Mohawk A. C. amateur tourna- ment fn the Tabs' hall. For three days.he had been bothered with a severa cold which had cut down his proficiency quite a. good deal He was not feeling fit in the bout | that night and his weight was down to 141 1.2 pounds. His usual good fzhting weight is 146, Under ordinary clrcumstances, Clinch would have withdrawn from the tourpament because of his 1lI- ness, but afraid that the fans woulq think him unwilling to meet. Tavior, and in order not to disappoint. he went. through with the match His showing in the ring was so £ood that mone suspected his condi- tion. Under the handicap, he just harely lost the bout in four round: Johnny, himself, doesn’t wish this to | he printed about him, but in justice o the local boy, we think it is only right to acquaint the public with the facts. He would like another oppor- funity to meet Taylor, and 1t mav be that in a future tournament he will be matched with the Capital City boy. Taylor will have hie hands full next Friday night with Leo Larri- vier of Waterbury. Many pick the Franco-American battler to win. Neither has been beaten in the wel. terweight division and one will have to lose Friday night. This brings us around to the ques- tion of reserved seats. Last Friday| night there was a large number of | local fans who falled to make reser- vations for tickets during the week and consequently they were forced to take rush seats the night of the fight, The bout this week will attract just’as much interest and the wise fans will erder their seats immedi- ately. Additional seats will be provided %0 that as many as possible will be taken care of. We look for an early | sell out because more than 300 ep- plications for reservations have been received already from Hartford. Arrangements have been com-| pleted for the appearance of the New Yark Celtics basketball team 1n this city Wednesday evening, March 7. The New York team was to have appeared here on March 17, but, oth- | r plans have caused the date to he advanced The Waterbury management is hedging from the game scheduled between New Britain and Waterbury | this week. With a contest 1n the works with the Atlas in New Haven, Manager Lanpher wants the Water- turvy game played this week or not at all. Plainfleld is scheduled to appear here Saturday night.

If the negro stops Pau- line, there will be many voices rais- cd against the race prejudice which deprives Godfrey of a chance at the heavyweight title. But ths outcry will make no difference. Men— white and black—raised their voices in support of the claims of Harry Wills to a match with Dempsey when the latter was champion. Wills was not benefited by the clamor on his behalt and succumbed to old age without having a chance at the title. Stopping Paulino will not prove | any easy matter, if the Basque's east- | ern performanées are any eriterion. | It may b that the Basque by beating Godfrey, can work his way | anofher chance in the official “elim- ination” tournament.
