-Speaking of Sports Jack Johnson, who onge wore the «maatie -of the heavyweight cham- pion of the world, wag the cynosure of all eyes as he refereed the semi- final bout at the amateur tourna- ment, at the Stanley Arena last ./ night. - He caused some comedy when he broke the fighters in the clinches Alittle more of a shove on one or twa occasions and Johnson woull! HaVe thrown both fighters out of the Ting. A surprising thing about the for- mer champion was the slender pair of legs he possesses. As he told last night, he weighs 265 pounds at the present time and in his fighting days he weighed well over 200. How a pair of legs like he has cound carry him through his battles is the thing that surprises everyone. When called on for a speech, Johnson did a neat turn in the cen- ter of the ring, urging support for | boxing as the greatest developer of manhood in the country. ‘The Springfield handball team walloped the New Britain contin- gent at the local Y.

They finally beat Washington yesterday in their fifth attempt and are ready to do it again toddy when the clubs continue their geries at the Polo Grounds, Some fine| pitching by Bill Walker turned the trick. He went the entire dis- tande, giving only five hits, and sel dom was in danger.

This total was 10 points better than that of Arnold Reckert, S8t. Matthew's German Lutheran forward, who pressed Swanson all during the schedule and at times even took the lead away from him. Wilton Morey, forward on the | South Congregational church team, finished in third place although he participated in but seven games, and his average of points per game was the highest of any player in the lcague. Swanson's 42 field goals were the most made by any player in the church circuit, Morey being the run- ner-up in this respect with 38. Reck- ert won honors in foul-shooting. putting in 21 out of 34 tries and finishing with four more successful free tries than Swanson. Swanson and Reckert apparently were determined not to be left out of the list of leaders in any depart- | ment of play, for they also tied for second place in the committing of personal fouls. Fred Ritner of the Stanley Memorial team won the onors” in this fleld, making 24 personals in nine games, but the two rivals were only one behind him. The South church entry won the team scoring honors, making 290 points and nosing out the champion First Lutherans by five points. The | Congregationalists led in field goals crowd of handball enthusiasts view- |with 124 but were forced to bow to | the 8t. Matts in foul-shooting, the Germans putting in 49 free tries. | The champion First Lutherans com- mitted the most personal fouls, 8 while the St Marks Episcopal quintet barely nesed out the South church for the honor of making the fowest of the teams which finished the schedule Swanson’s Great Performance The performance of Elmer Swan- son was remarkable and had a ma- jor share in bringing the title to th Swedes. While he made 101 points. no other player on his team was able to score more than 35. this wide gap showing the way in which the Lutherans relied upon him and the manner in whisl he justified their faith. The South church play- lers divided their points much more evenly and actually had their whole five starting players among the 13 leading scorers. hese 15 finished as Swanson, First Lutheran, Reckert,'St. Matts, 91; Morey, South, Rockwell, South, 66; W.
