Speaking of Sports Woluluwoulpr\mlonu- yesterdsy when we were informed . that New Britaiy could boast of a ‘world’s Aight champion. The latest fameus follewer in the footsteps of Jack Britten, is Mickey Erne whose parents reside on Myrtle street in - ‘this city. Mickey, in & tournament staged In Pasidena, California, met and defeated all comers for the title of fleaweight clumplon of - the ‘Orld. Flyweight limits in weight reach 112 pounds but the fleaweight limit was set at 106 pounds. Mickey weighs at all times about 107 or 109 pounds and on the day of a fight he has been known to scale as low as 98, Mickey startéd in the amateurs in this city a few years ago but his father put a step to it. when he found his boy one night with a cut ear, In order to keep him away from temptation, the fond parent des- patched his boy to the home of his daughter in California, but little did he know that he was sending him vight into the fight game. On the Pacific Coast, Mickey found several fighters of his size and peundage. Morrie Cohan, a Pasa- dena. promoter, decided to atage a champienship tournament among these boys declaring a new weight class of fleaweight. Erno went through to the finals and against Bobby Mars, a Filipino, he fought & draw. In a rematch, Erno received the decision and a beit embiematie of his world’s champion- ship. His relatives in this city, proud of the fact that their boy is a boxer of world-known ability, are urging him 10 come home where he will be able 1o appestr in a boxing match but up to now Miekey has turned a deaf ear on all of their pleadings. The boxing bouts at the Stanley Arcna last night had to be pestpened because of the fact that Jake Rosen- burg of New York who was to have Lattled Vic Morley in the main bout, was injured in an accident in the center of Berlin. The details of the affair can be found in the Berlin column in this issue. The Pirates baseball team will practice tomorrew afternoon at = o'clock at Willew Brook park. an jast year's players and new candi- dates are asked to be present. Wilired Sheehan of Harrison s(reet, this city, is competing today 48 a member of the Trinity -collegs track team in the annual meet with NorWich university of Verment. He is’entered in the broad jump and pole vaylt events. He is a member of the class of 1331. ‘The three game. program which the 8t. Thomas' S8eminary and New Britain High school teams are carry- ing out, has been highly successful so far. 8t. Thomas won its first two games and New Britain scored its wecond victory of the week last night over Suffield, The winning strcak of either team will be snapped this afternoon at Elizabeth park when they meet each other. 8t. Thomas ncarly shut out the Red & Geld team without a hit or run a week ago. A methed of coping with the financial burden of the High school baseball team is being attempted. Yesterday for the Suffield game, tickets were being sold at the school lo cover the expenses of the remzin- thg games on the schedule. The au- thoritles are relylng on the school #pirit to have the students back up their proposition. There lias been a serious situation at the High school over this matter and the present plan is hit upon as & very havvy one, YANKEE STAMPEDE ~ ON IN_EARNSET (Continued from preceding page) Ferguson, p .

BILY WALLACE Former Feather Champion Gets Revenge Over Cleveland Boy New York, May 11 — Louis “Kid" | Kaplan stole the thumping thunder of Bill Wallace in Madison Square Garden last night, smashing out de- cisive point victory over tke Cleve- land slugger in a long-awaited re- turn bout that drew 10,000 apecta- tors to the arena Tex Rickard built. Winning six rounds, Kaplan took | the unanimous decision of judges and the peferee, lou Mag- noliu. He won the first five rounds and the tenth. Wallace earned the seventh and the eighth rounds, with the sixth and ninth cven. @ Wallace's Right Idle Wallace's dreaded right hand, which floored Kaplan three times and knocked him out in Cleveland in December ©f 1926, was outscored last night by a whizzing left hook that rarely missed the mark. Wal- ;| 1ace, throughout the 10 rounds, fail- ed fo hurt Kaplan even once; but the Meriden mauler had Billy in dis- tress several times. The big draina of the night came at the fag end of an utherwise un- eventful first round. Afler feeling each other out cautiously, Kaplan o |Vent to the attack with a volley of left and rights into retreat.

Billy Takes Count Bill went over backward in heap and landed flat on his back ‘n he neutral corner. He appeared stunned and surprised rather than | badly hurt and at the count of three pulled himself together and climbed up on one knee while Referee Mag- nolia barked the count into his ear, At nine Wallace scrambled to his fect and Kaplan ripped across the ring to finish the job. The round had only a few seconds I~ft, how- #ver, and Billy managed to hold fast in a clinch until the bell rescued him. Fairly eozing confidence at his suddenly discovered punching power, Kaplan fore and slashed at Wallace for the next four rounds, giving the Cleveland hoy scant time to recover from one assault before launching another. Two smashing right upper- cuts to the clin made Billy's knees Ibuckle in the third round. bnt Kap. lan missed a follow up left and Wal- lace managed to weather the route today to New York whence she will ail for England to com- pete in the Wimbledon champion- 1 ships.
