d i iy » ) R 14 | » "y :Speaking of Sports New Britain has a dearth of good baseball umpires but this lack is going to be further emphasized starting next Monday when Eddie Crowley, rated as among the best in the city, leaves New Britain to go to Newark, N. J, entering a new tield of endeavor in his private life. Eddie has been meeting with great success in the insurance field for <everal years and he has been of- fered a tempting position with an old-time company. He will be in the New Jersey city for approximately three months and if he meets with success, he will be given a territory in this vicinity, not necessarily in New Britain. He has been working the games in Kensington this year and the fans there have become used to having xpert and prompt decisions rend- ored during the games there. work has always been efficient and of the highest order and when he caves the city, he will be missed in baseball circles We have a letter here for Man- ager 'William Lasky of the Burritt A. C. baseball team. We will be glad 1o transmit it to him if he or his representative should call at the of- fice during our working hours. Bobby Garcia, the Baltimore sol- dier, makes his first appearance in Hartford since Louis (Kid) Kaplan | knocked him out a few years ago | Philadelphia in Kaplan's last fight as a feather- weight, Monday night. Garcia has won his way to where he used to be among the featherweights and many will be interested in seeing him in action. In talking with Patsy Bridgett "bout the defeat of Haplan by Man- uel Quintero, we bad one of the Lest explanations of Kaplan's show- | g that we have heard in ime, some Bridgett is recognized in this city and throughout the state as a r student of the boxing game. He h; followed fights for years and h2 hasn't missed many in which Kap- an was one of the principals. “Kaplan fought as good as he r fought last Monday night, but he would never be able to beat Quin- tero the best day he lived,” Patsy <aid. “I have become convinced that these fellows like Quintero are too hig for Kaplan. They are not fight- 1< who remain in the lightweight . They are too fall, too rangy ind too big. For a year or so they ight as lightweinhts, but as they srow older they take on flesh and ey soon outweigh the lighter cla las Bridgett said that Quintero was s0 rangy that he could easily keep Kaplan away and stave off his rush- vs and then peck at the Meriden hoy at will. Kaplan might have “lipped a little bit, in his estimation, | iut not such a great deal that <hows it very much, he Kaplan's stature works against him. He is short and his urms are in proportion. When he meets a rangy fellow, he is up against not only an opponent with a pair of fists, but he taces physical handicaps that are hard to overcome. He is like a base- |\ ball team going into another town 1o play where the lineup is nine mer on a side plus the home town um- pire. There are these handicaps of height and reach even before <teps into the ring. Therefore, as Bridgeft Kaplan descrves all the more credit hecause of his showing in the light- sees ity weight ranks. “Kaplan's head just about reached Quintero's chest” Bridgett said in discussing the two 1s they squared off in the ring. "I think Kaplan will still show that he is to be rated as a eontender for titular honors, despite the frequent setbacks he has been encountering in many of his recent fights.” We have always admired In the ring but have ways felt that he met an unfortu- nate “break” when hecause of his inability to make the featherweight limit, he was forced to give up that class and enter the lightweight ranks. He was a king among the 126 pounders but he has heen far from that among the 135 pound babies. Kaplan we also al- We distinetly remember the nizht Kaplan put Garcia away in Hartford at the velodrome. There, the was$ s0 uninteresting that almost ev- eryone was looking at other things besides the two boxchs in the ring. Suddenly, Kaplan sent a right to the stomach and a left to the jaw and Garcia went down. He got up and went down again. He got up and 1zain he went down but it was in- wvitable that the referee would step in and separate the two. By the wa State Athletic Commissioner Thom- 1s E. Donohue would be to get ad- ding machines for his they persist in making wrong ad- Qditions of points scored during the rounds. Some one told us yesterday that Young McAuliffe got out of the fourth grade only because someone hurned the school down. ' He first called the Kaplan-Mays battle in New Haven some time ago a draw, after a night's sleep, re- versed his decision. The other night at the Kaplan-Quintero battle, he gave the decision to Quintero which was perfect, but his score card gave Kaplan the edge. McAuliffe, known in private life as He 'ry Gerrity, im- mediately changed his figures to conform with his decision. LOSES TO RELAY TEAM Conway, N. H..
