l 2988 Speaking - of Sports A benefit amateur boxing tourna- ment arranged and promoted by Louls (Kid) Kaplan, will be held in Meriden Monday night at the city hall auditorium for the mother of Al Ferguson who died recently fol- lowing an amatcur bout in Dridge- port. It was discovered after the un- | fortunate occurrence that Ferguson's mother hadn't sufficient money with which to send her boy's body to Vir- ginia for burial in the family plot there, Immediately a collection was taken up Dy the Meriden Elks and enough money was secured to enable the mother to send the body home. Then, however, the boy's motaer was unable through financlal diffi- cultles, to accompany the casket on its sorrowful trip. An investigation has disclosed that the woman is in desperate financial straits at the present time. Her boy was her sole support and his earnings meant the very gqxistence of himself and his mother. Taking cognizance of the fact, everywhere in the state at amateur tight tournaments, collections have been taken up for the woman, Last night nearly $80 was sccured from the fans at the Tabs' hall. This money will go to the sorrowing mother who has already stated that she bears no mallce or rancor against anyone connected with ama- teur boxing in the statc and especial- ly against the boy who happened 1o be her son’s opponent on the ill-fat- ed night. Tickets for the benefit tournament to be held in Meriden Monday night are on sale in this city at Patsy Bridgett's Cigar Store on Church street. Many of them have already been sold and from present indica- tio: it appears that the sporting public is responding to the appeals with & characteristic generosity. Those who plan to purchasc tickets for the affair will be repaid by the knowledge that they helped fu a small way to ease the heartbreak of a bercaved mother, We have no further reports on the situation between the New Dritain and Atlas basketball managements. At the present time, both managers have reached an impasse in their negotiations for a game to aettle the title of the state and it appears more likely every day that there will be no game. It appears like a plain case of Manager Bailey running out on the agreenent reached before the seagon was started. BURRITTS IDLE MOST ALL YEAR Local Team Received Unfortu- nate Breaks This Season Scoring honors for the past sca- son of the Burritts basketball team goes to “Hammy" Darrow, star guard and one of the best defensive men on the team. Darrow scored 27 baskets and four fouls for & total of 58 points. He is followed close- iy by Yacobhowitz, who dropped in 53 points through the netting. The Burritts, iate champlons last vear, recelved unfortunate breaks during the past scason and were u able to get a home playing surfac ‘They played a total of eight gams winning five and losing three. makes its record for the past tirce vears, b6 wins and 11 losses.

HIGH PRESSURE s | cision over Hector Perr: i Glants from the | THREE OF Battles. Two victories balanced agaminst three defeata statea the resuit of the clashes last night in the amateur fight tournament at the Tabs' hall | between the Worcester, Mass., team | and Connecticut, They Bay S8tate! mitt slingers came through in two | battles to get the verdict while in | three others, Connecticut boys were | declared the winners. Joe Howard, former middleweight | champion, Johnny Clinch of this city | {and Vic Carlson were the trio that | 80 successfully upheld the prestige of Connecticut while Pancho Villa of Hartford and Al Taylor of Bristol were on the losers) end. Although defeated, Pancho Villa furnished the only thrills in the en- {tire tournament in his Lattlc against Alfred Dubois of Worcester. Dubois, | a southpaw, gave Villa the worst | beating any of the local fans have | seen the Hartford boy recelve, but | Villa kept plugging away at lis op- | ponent and he even came back to take the third round by a shade. Dubois hit ¥illa with everything. | {He sent stift jolts to the head and | drove smashing hammer bLlows to Villa's stomach but, although Villa | was forced to give ground under the | merciless bombardment, Duhois could not send him off his feet. Dubois is a lanky, rangy boser and Villa had difficulty in finding a tar- {get for his windmill fists. From long range, missing only a few punches in the three rounds, Dubois smashed punch after punch to vital | points on Villa's anatomy, but the jonly eftect they had was to slow the | i Hartford boy up coansiderably. Du- bois won the bout by a very wide margin. . | Joe Howard, tormer middleweight | champion, scored a four-round de of the B: State team. The bout was a disap- pointment. There was little action fn'any of the rounds. Perry v cautious and Howard refused to lead. The bout was declared a draw | {at the end of the third round and | Howard scored a win in the fourlh‘ frame, Johnny Clinch at 145 pounds re- ceived an unpopular three-round verdict over John Prestero of Wor- | cester. The blows struck in the first two rounds could almost be| counted on the fingers of one hand. | What little fighting there was in the | entire battle was done in the third | round and Clinch apparently re- | ceived the edge because of his ag: gressivencss and willingness to fight. ' Vie Carlson of Terryville scored a | technical knockout over Ralph| {Lombardi of Worcester in the 170- pound class. After a first round in| which the Worcestcr boy had the| advantage, Carlson tore into him in| the gecond and soon had him on' “Queer Street.” Punch drunk, Lom-: hardi was reeling around the ring! when his seconds threw in a towel | ending the fray. I John Villa of Worcester scored a ! technjcal knockout ever Al Taylor | | of Bristol in the first round of their | hout at 112 pounds. A punch in the {stomach affected Taylor's wind so | badly that he was forced to quit. | 1At 135 pounds, Johnny Angelo of Hartford outpunched his bigger op- ponent Pete Garber of Terryville through the gecond and third rounds and he was given the decision in| three rounds. | Gene Martin of Terryville, ap- | pearing like a loser in the first! round, came back to hand Charles | | Romano of Hartford a terrific shel- ! |lacking for the last two rounds cfi their bout and Gene got the decialon lin three rounds. Roman claimed that he hurt his hand in the second trame but it appears that he hurts; his hand conveniently whenever he | starts to lose. They fought at 140 pounds, Don Lannette of Windsor Locks punched his way to a four-round | victory over Pete Maloney of Ter ville. Maloney was shifty but Lan nette was too strong for him. | In one of the best bouts of the | night, Mike 8inco of this city pound- ed out & three-round victory over Manuel Pozzato of Hartford at 140! pounds. Pozzato started llke a whirl- {wind but he was effectively tamed before the bout was over. Sinco shows much prominse. PBrowny Tucker of Hartford, col- ored, proved to be too clever for Jake Yanks of this city in the 122- pound class and Tucker walked away with the decision in three rounds. Tucker had a wide margin all the way. The next tournament will be held on Thursday night, April 19 in the Tabs’ hall.

Barnard of American League Likes Look of Browns and Tigers in Training. Chicago, March 31 (®—"Watch the St. Louis Browns and the Detroit Tigers. This is the advice of President E, 8. Barnard of the American League, who has just returned from an ex- tensive tour of the Jjunior major icague traning camps, “The Browns have a group of new reterans that will be playing ball every minute under a new manuge- ment, while the Detroit Tigers have a coterie of batamen who are bound to provide trouble,” Bernard said. “Fans should not worry over the poor training season showing of the New York Yankees,” Bernard added as “they have not yet hit their stridy They know how to step up to ths plate and swing and that is what gave tham the pennant last year, to- gether with some good pitching.” The American League prexy said he doubted whether the Cobb- 8peaker-Collins triumvirate would add much strength to the Philadel- phia Athletics. Boston, Cleveland and Chicago, despite their efforts to belster up their lineups, do not scem to have the pennant punch, he said, although Washington's youngaters were predicted as troublemakers. { | | | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, MARCH 81, 1928, Hoover on these remarkably easy Beginning MONDAY R a very limited period, beginning Monday A" morning,you will have an opportunity to buy the finest electric cleaner made on terms that are really unusual!
