CLINCH BOWLS OVER PROVOST TO WIN FEATURE BOUT OF AMATEUR CARD WITH SECOND ROUND KNOCKOUT—GODFREY VS. PAULINO BOUT IS CALLED OFF—NEW BRITAIN TRIMMED IN POLO MATCH—MAY TOPS Y. M. C. A. ATHLETES—SPORTS CLINCH IS WINNER OVER PROVOST IN SECOND ROUND Body Attack Cuts Down Holyoke Welterweight—How- ard Mack Finds Dominic Friskko a Bit Too Tough— Bristol Punching Machine Knocks Out Visiting Mittster In 50 Seconds of Fighting. By the effective expedient of pounding down Tommy Provost of Holyoke, Johnny Clinch registered a second round knockout win in the feature bout of last night's amateur card. Provost came into the ring & bit hefty about the mid-section and ap- peared somewhat as if he had becn taking things easy ringwise for some time. Clinch was quick to grasp his advantage and he opened a body attack with the clang of the bell. Johnny had an undisputed lead | in the first, although no damage | was done, Clinch opencd the second round with a furious attack. Provost at-| tempted to retaliate, but his blows had little effect, and after one min- ute of fighting hc took a nine count. | ¢ 1t was all Clinch from that point on. A series of sledges to the stomach and ribs sent the spectators home | after one minute and 50 seconds of the second round. The usual Monday night gathering | was at the Stanley Arena to see the unbarbered gladiators in action. Ref- | erec John Willis handled the| score sheet, Councilman Samuel Sab- lotsky did the Joe Humph stunt and Gerald P. Crean sent them into | action with a clang of the gong, and recalled those who didn’t fall down and go boom when the three minute sessions were up. Sonny Boy Hayden, who hangs his hat in Plainville, started the eve-| ning’s show by winning over Barney IFlood of this city. The lads fought| at 115 pounds. iy Boy did his best work with jabs, but didn’t use them often enough. Ed Dussell, a punchologist from Holyoke, finished Sebastian Cianci of this city in the first round, when | Refered Willis decided the thing had | gone far enough. Sebastian started off fast. Coincident with a flurry of | blows that puffed his eyes and drew | the claret from his beak, Cianci claimed a foul, but it was disallow- ed. | Ordered to continue, Cianci arosc | only to be floored again. One of the most promising local boys to display last night was Julius | Bighanetti, 135 pounder, who hand- ed an artistic lacing to the tough ¥red Sulllvan of Holyoke. Julius swarmed all over Sullivan in the first minute of the bout and the visiting chap never did get his beariags, Bighanett! had a fine assortment of | hooks and jabs in which both mitts took their part. Sullivan made his best showing in the third rouni after Jullus -had punched himscif tired. Fifty seconds and about as many punches ended the next bout “with Jack Bassil of Bristol, the winn:r over Charles Lupki of Holyoke. B. #il wasn’t hit twice in the third of & round that was necessary to ;mt‘ Lupki flat on his face on the floor. A bucket of water and a jar of smelling. salts were called into play | to revive Lupki and when he left the ring he was suffering from & bad attack of rubber knees. Joey Troy of Plainville, the only amateur fighter with a moustache in captivity, met his match in Joe Masswell of Holyoke. Troy un- doubtedly could take Masswell out in the alley and pummel him seven nights & week, but by the restraints jmposed by rules of the ring he| found his style cramped. The Plain- ville 1ad resorted to roundhousc slugging while the Holyoke entry found sharpshooting lefts and rights to be most effective. | After taking Dominic Friskko's at- tack for one round, Howard Mack of | Holyoke declined to return for the | second round. It was explained to the crowd that Mack is but 15 years | of age and was fighting his first bout. He showed classy footwork and evident coaching, but was too young and too weak for the rugged Friskko. Bill Silverman, a raw product billed from local amateur stables, | was just a bit behind Jack Reno of Holyoke, after three rounds of fight- ing—more or lcss. Silverman at present appears to have little more than & tough stomach, a lucky jab and a careful manager. Billie Reeves, Bristol colored hoy, played with Archie White of Hol- yoke, for one round, cvidently in- tending to do damage in the second, but White fooled him and refused to come back. It was the best judg- ment shown by White during the evening.

(UP)—The amateur affairs of Paavo Nurmi were under investigation today. The outcome of charges hurled at the peerless Finnish distance cr by Jack Marris, secretary of Masonic Athletic committee, sponsoring an indoor track meet here Saturday night, is that Nurmi has been called to appear before the registration committee of the Metropolitan A. A. U. tomorrow. Meanwhile, cvidence was being sought by the Masonic games effi- cials to show that Nurmi had vir- tually assured them that he would compete in the Masonic meet only to come to a “sudden decision” switch his entry to the K. gumes at Boston. The charges were first laid hefore Daniel J. Ferris, secretary of the A. A. U, but he passed them on to the Metropolitan hody because Nurmi is registered with that group. Nurmi has not yet been heard from officially. He has not even signified his intention of attending the meeting of the registration com- mittee but it is taken for granted thit he will, since failure to do so might result in immediate susper of C. | sion as an amateur in this country. And Nurmi has no desire to for- sake an opportuaity to continue his scorn for father time and click off the yards with his flying feet. kKven today while others were all excited about the churges made mgainst Lim, Nurmi slipped off to a park on the edge of the city for his custom- ary workout over hills and dalos. Paavo, he gone,” Hugo Quist, liis American representative excited- ly oxplained over the telephone from the Bronx home where the Finnish runner s lving while in this country “He pay no attention to all this talk. He never read paper.” Since Nurmi never forwarded an entry blank for the Masonic games here, the row may simmer down to a whisper and Nurmi will continue to run, when and where he pleasea. Harrls declared that Nurmi “was influenced by a man or men with power in track circles” to turn down the Masonic games here for the Boston games, Every effort will be made to learn It any inducements were effered Nurmi to switch his entry, and if so, by whom. Nurmi has a way all his ewn of turning away all question- ers, interviewers and investigators with wrath in their heart. When Nurmi arrived in this coun- try for his sccond American visit, he told reporters: “I no spik English,” and promptly went into seclusion. That Is a typical example of what the Metropolitan registration com- | mittee will have to contend with in the indifferent Finn, SOUTH CHURCH PLAYS to Bristol for Co Baskethall Goes League Game To- Night—Looking for Comeback w.

The club’s basketball team climbed out into a 16-11 lead | during the first half and then lost its advantage as the Middletown . M. C. A. overtook it and pressed head to win by 44-37. In all four of the defeats sutfered by the Boys' !club thie season the local aggregation {has beam in front at the half-way |mark but has been unable to retain its grip. Three of these losses have been to the Middletewn “Y,” which night clinched the five-game | serics between the organizations. The series stands 3-1 | Wilcox, the visiting flash, hooked lin the first basket in less than five |scconds of play, but Rametta tied |the score and the teams battled |around until Middletown squeezed |out to 7-6 at the end of the quarter. | Coach Ray Anderson was playing all his substitutes and they were giving |a great account of themselves. A long throw by Paluch sent New DBritain ahead in the second period and, with |the same player making @& courageous defense and with a nifty exhibition of foul shooting, the club picked its way out to 16-11 at inter- | mission. The regular New Britain players | went in at the beginning of the third |auarter but could not hold Middle- town as well as the subs, for, al- though Kerelejza made one of the longest baskets of the night, Middle- |town then rallied and was soon right behind at 22-20. Parparian's (shot made it 24-20, but again the Y” came back and Wilcox tied the score as the period ended. | He opened the last quarter with another basket, but Goffa and Com- pagnone put New Britain ahead again at 28-26. Wilcox once more knotted things and Dunn sent the visitors in front, only to have Grusha cage a shot for 30-30. Han- |son sank New Britain with a basket |as he was fouled and then put in [both free tries. Both sides now be- |gan to put in all manner of sensa- | tional shots as the pace grew terrific, There were 13 points made in the | last three and a half minutes and seven in the last minute and 40 seconds, but Middletown got its full share 'of these and held its lead. Mike Paluch, substitute guard who was recently moved up from the Reserves, was the outstanding | player for the club, Despite his lack cf size, Mike was in every play dur- ing the first halt and always came out from a pile of players with the ball in his hands He took a ter. rible pounding from the larger Mid- dlctown players but stuck gamely to his task and, in addition, contributed two beautiful long shots to the causs. Parparian was high scorer for New Britain but was taken out at a critical moment in the third perfod. The hock shots of Wilcex and the work of Hanson under the basket featured for Middletown. Dunn and Wilcox put on thelr usual patter act against the referce. Wilcox did most of the talking, as usual, but Dunn enlivened proceed- ings at one juncture by making a swing at Tobin.

He couldn't lift his throwing arm over his head and the doctors in New York had said that the hest second baseman in the American League had permantly crippled himself by playing through the last hard drive for the pennant ogainst orders. Lasseri was despondent. Twenty- four years of age he figured that he had at least ten years ahead of him in the big leagues and ten years represented just about $100,- 000 to him. And his arm meant just as much to the Yankees for second basemen as good as he was are almost priceless. Laszerlt met Dutch Reuther, former major leaguo star who is now pitching for the Ban Francisco Pacific Coast League club. “What you doing about the arm, Tony?” Dutch asked him. “Nothin',” he answered. “Bar- rows mays to stay way from doctors and just rest it. None of the doc- tors did it any good. Guess I'm licked.” “Why don't you go see Denny,” Reuther suggested. “He's the best arm guy in the business. He fixed me up last summer & couple of times when I thought minc was gone. If he can't do you any good you know he won't make it any worse.” Goes to Carroll Denny Carroll, is the trainer and rubber of the San Francisco club and he has the reputation of being one of the best trainers in basc- ball. He's a minor leaguer only be- cause he doesn't want to leave San Francirco and he gets more money here than he could get in the major lcugue: Lasseri went to see Carroll. He didn’t have to explain that he hurt his arm sliding back to a base if | Detroit and that he couldn’t use an over-hand delivery in throwing the ball. Carroll knew all about the case and he went to work on him. He found that scveral liga |in the shoulder had been torn had knotted which explained why the arm could be used only in an | underhand swing. The fnjury had been aggravated, of course, Whe Lazzeri insisted upon playing through the last games of the regu- lar season and in the world 9 ries, He didn’t have to be told that vithout him the Yankees could not win the pennant. The box scores howed plainly that when he wasn't in there the Yankees lost. And when he wasn't in there Mark Koe- nig, the shortstop, went to picces. | He couldn’t play without Tony next |to him, 8o Lazzeri remained in the {game even when the doctors told | him that he was playing his whole | baseball career in jeopardy. Rubbing Briags Results Carroll started massaging his arm |and gave him dally treatments. The ligaments responded immediately |and within a month he was able to |life his arm over his head. The shooting pains he suffered when he lifted his arm disappeared and he | was able to take light sctting up exercines. | A few days ago he tricd his arm | out throwing a ball and found that he could use his overhand motion | without pain. The arm was weak, as | might have been expected, but no soreness or pain was fclt the mext | Gay. | He feels sure that the injury has been corrected and that when he reports to the Yankce training camp in 8t.

The former heavyweight cham- pion’ has refused to have more than one iron in the fire at a time, and he wants that one red hot. Hence, | efforts of Jim Dougherty and others have falled to interest Dempsey in a plan to stage a heavywelght bout at Havana between George Godfrey and Paolino Uzcudun on February 18, nine days before the scheduled Jack Sharkey-Young Stribling bout. “I know nothing whatever about the Havana fight,” Dempsey told the United Press today. i Meanwhile Dempsey has attract- ed the attention of Herbert J. Fu- gazy, who was Rickard’s biggest rival in the promotion of outdoor boxing shows, to_such an extent in the manner in which he is going about plans for the Sharkey-Strib- ling bout that Fugazy has offered him a position as associate in the' promotion of boxing. 2 | “I will have to wait and sce how successful T am in this my first ven- ture as a promoter,” Dempsey said. “At present T don’t know whether I will fight again. T am getting a great Kick out ef this work and cverybody knows I would like to fight again. So you see I'll have to wait until this fight is over to make my decision.” The site of the Sharkey-Stribling bout has been shifted from the Miami Beach Kennel club to Fla- mingo Park, centrally located, where an arena seating 40,000 will be built.

John F, Dowd, chairman of a com- mittee of the city council in charge of the matter, said the committee favored the issuance of a permit to the Braves. Another application must be filed, he said. Charles ¥. Adams, vice president of the Boston Braves, was to appear before Attorney General Joseph E. ‘Warner today for questioning in con- nection with the alleged violation of the corrupt practices act by the Out- door Recreation league. The league sponsored the Sunday sports act re- cently adopted in this state. Orris J. Brusse, treasurer of the league was questioned yesterday by Warner. Brussee had filed with the secretary of state, a list of contribu- tors to & $30,000 fund raised by the league. Charges that the lisff really covered contributions made by the Braves Instigated the investigation by the attorney general. Brusso de- clined to discuss the interview, ‘When Adams appears for question- ing, it will be with the knowledge that & permit for his club to play Sunday baseball in this city has been practically assured. John ¥, Dowd, chairman of a special city council committee considering the applica- tion, yesterday reported his commit- tee favored the issuance of the per- mit. Another application would have ta be filed however, Dowd said. It would be signed under oath and spe- cify admission charges and other de- tails. A final report by the commit- tee was expected within a week. The Boston finance commission, which has been investigating charges by Emil E. Fuchs, president of the Rraves, and by-Adams, that 13 mem- bers of the Boston city council sought a bribe of §5,000 each to in- sure early acceptance of the Sunday sports act in this city, will resume its public hearings tomorrow. IPuchs and Adams will be given an apportunity, the commission an- nounced, to refute charges made against them at previous hearings. simultancously it became known that the Lord's Day league planned another campaign against Sunday sports in this state. Dr. A. Z. Con- rad, pastor of the Park strect Con- gregational church, declared that the adoption of the act at the recent state election was merely a single de- feat. He said the real battle had just started. Under the act, munici- palities were given local option on the sports question. % At & meeting of the league yester- day a resolution was adopted urging Attorney General Warner fo “qift ing wmotions and get some ac- in his investigation of the Out- cation Jeague. tion was offered by Rev. Martin D. Kneeland, retiring executive secre- tary, Another league said that *'puts itself once more on record i resolution adopted by the the organizatio n opposition to all attempts on the partg . of 'sport, trade or business to open Sunday more widely.” Informed of the resolution con- cerning his investigation, Attorney il Warner suggested that mem- Lers of the league bring forward any evidence they have. “If they have none,” he s think it would be Kkinder to wait until the case has been given full consideration before expecting the attorney general's office to blast the reputation of any citizen.” Members of the league were to ap- pear at legislative hearings at the state house today when three bills, each aiming to remove the power of granting Sunday permits from the Boston council, would be dis- cussed. The bills provide for the creation of other bodies to handle is donating the park free of charge. Oh, Man!

HARTFORD GANE HAS LITLE COUOR N. B. H. §. and Rivals Both in Losing Streak - Contrary to conditions of other years when two undefeated teams met in the annual basketball games between New Britain and Hartford Public High schools, neither the New Britain or Hartford quintets have scored a victory 8o far this sea- son, five defeats being checked up against the Capital City team and three against the Hardware City outfit, The game is scheduled to be play- ed in Hartford at the Hopkins street gymnasium Saturday afternoon of this week. Each team is anxious. to break into the victory column, but the big motive is to down the bitter rival from the opposite city. Hartford's record to date consists of five defeats from Manchester, Weaver, New Haven Hillhouse and Bulkeley high schools and St. Thomas' Seminary. New Britain's record consists of three defeats from 8t. Thomas' Seminary, Gilbert high school of Winsted and New Haven Hillhouse high school team. This game will mark the final ap- pearance in high school athletics of Captain Eddie Sowka and lLouis Landino, guards, and of Alexander Zaleski and Henry Kraszewski, for- wards. They will go in the game with all the determination in the world to end their athletic career in glory by whipping the arch rivals. Hartford high school has not dis- played a good brand of basketball since the opening of the weason. Coach John Newell is discouraged with his men and despite overy des- perate effort he cannot install pep and ambition in the boys. They seem to be suffering from a lack of inter- est. Some say the New Britain high school boys are also showing a lack of interest and that the four who are to be graduated are just finish- ing their season. They secem to be playing with the knowledge that they have nothing.to gain now, all the glory of high school athletics being passed. Coach Cassidy, how- ever, denies this and points to the fact that the team has given every opponent this year a tough battie. The regular lineup will start. Her- man Bchmarr will be the center; Henry Kraszewski and Alex Zaleski, forwards; Eddic Sowka and Louis Landino, guards. Nate Lipman, guard; Billy Ross, forward; Joe Bogdanski, guard, and Sam Miril- iani, forward, will be ready for serv- ice.

GODFREY-UZCUDUN MATCH ABANDONED Promoters Canaot Build Up In- ferest for Bout New York, Jan. 22 (®—Meeting opposition from Jack Dempsey the Madison Square Garden Corporation has abandoned its efforts to match | George Godfrey. the current “Black | Menace,” with Paulino Uzcudun, at Havana, Cuba, Feb. 18. Dempsey, now in Miama Beach, Fla., arranging the setting for the Sharkey-Stribling match on Feb. 27, wired Garden officials that the pro. ana fight would interfere with his Miami Beach 1 ns As matter of fact Dempsey's ex- pressions of disapproval might not have been needed. The Garden found itself confronted with many matchmaking difficulties in connec- tion with the suggested Havana ex- travaganze. Godfrey, more or less shunned by the heavyweights, was quite ready to sign for the bout but Paulino was quite coy about the matter. Perhaps remembering the decision he dropped to the giant Negro on the Pacific coast last year, the Spaniard, through his board of trategy, declined rather emphatical- ly to have anything more to do with Godfrey, at least for the present, Paulino is more or less definitely ssured of at least one of the big “shots” to be staged during the summer and could see no reason why he should jeopardize that op- BY BRIGGS - HE--HE - HAHA HA HA HA- WAS -OVER EDS HA HA HA HA HA -HA-HA THAT CERTNLY IS A HOT ONE- I'D LIKE © HEAR IT SOME
