Spegkinc of Sports Fight fans in this ssction are all picking Paolino Uscudun to defeat Max Schmeling when this pair clashes Thursday night in the fea- ture bout of the milk fund card in New York. Schmeling, hailed as a second Dempsey, is &3 yet untried, and for that reason, hasn't wormed his way into the confidence of the fight followers. ° ‘The Spanjard isan enigma to most everyone. He is tough and can stand a lot of punishment and if he is able to do the same thing against Schmeling, it is very probable that Schmeling might ind himself on the losing end. When a fighter shoots everything he hay and lands, and the other fellow takes it with a smile, that generally kills the heart in the aggressor. Johnny Clinch is to meet Young Oliver of Bridgeport in the main bout of the second open air show of the scason in Bristol Friday night. Johnny is fast becoming a favorite 1n state fight circles. He has polish- ed off five opponents by knockouts since he bas turned professional. His left hand, a terrific uppercut @0 the body, is his strongest weapon and he uses it effectively. Johnnv can send these punches in one after enéther and no matter how tough his opponents come, they fail to stand up under the terrific bom- bardment he sends in. Kid Reney of this city, midget strong man, is a comer in the ranks. He is strong and fast and although only pint-sized, he makes his op- ponents tremble. Punches roll oft him like water off a duck's back and his quick and powerful punch- ing has cut many another bigger fel- low down. Bernie Flood met a defeat at the hands of Frankie Nicholas of Tor- rington last Thursday night. Flood mained a decision over the Torring- ton boy in a fierce fight in this city last winter but Nichclas improved greatly since that time. Bristol turned out a fair-sized crowd for the bouts last Thursday night and this coming Friday, there should be a large delegation of Clinch rooters trom this city. John- ny is a favorite with a large circle of fans and because he is to face the toughest opponent in some time his backers will be out strong to watch him go through his paces. Many are planning on going to Hartford tonight to see the Tony Leto-Mike Lsposito battle in Hart- ford. These two are rivals for a chance a{ Bat Battalino and the winner has been promised a crack at the state featherweight champion. Stanley Works and Corbins battle tonight at 5:30 o'clock in the Induse trial league. This should be one of the best batlles of the year because toth outfits are over anxious to win.

Armour, “Tommy” to his friends, is one of the half dozen former champions who will try to re- peat in the open at Winged Foot. The 8cot, who was an amateur star on bhis native heath before com- ing to the United States, won the title at Oakmont in 1927 in a play- off with Harry Cooper, sensational westerner, now stationed in New York state. Armour won the play-off with an 18 hole score of 76 to 79 for Cooper and had to come from behind to grab the coveted title. He was a stroke behind going to the fifteenth! Here he ‘dropped a putt of approxi- mately 50 feet to make the affair all even and forged ahead with arother good putt at the sixteenth. At the seventeenth Tommy made one of the greatest shots an open competition has seen. Playing first. Cooper sent a perfect approach within inches of the pin and seemed about to recover the ground he had lost on the last hole. Armour had a chance to play safe and let the de- cision rest on the home hole. He scorned a “safety first” plan cnd went boldly for the pin. His ball stopped inside Cooper's and broke the heart of the boy from the golden wei The black 8cot had tied Coopcr the day before with a wonderful putt of some 12 feet on the 72d green of the regular championship round. Defending his title last year, Ar- mour went the way of most cham- pions and finished sixteenth. He was born at Edinburgh in 1895. He won the French amateur championship in 1920 and reached the third round of the American championship the same year.

BURKE SHOOTS 70 AT WINGED FOOT Gonnecticut Pro Will Win Open il He Keeps Up Good Work New York, June 25 (#—One Bil- lie Burke of Westport, Conn., may not win the national open wolf championship at the Winged oot club at Mamaroncck. N. Y. this week—in fact the odds are rather mere than 50 to 1 against t—hut Jones, George Von Elm, Leo Diegel, Bill Mehlhorn, Harrison (Jimmy) Johnston, Bill Leach, Johnny Gold- en, E. Dudley, Bobby Cruickshank, Al Espinosa and Roland Hancec Most of these seemed to be &pend- ing a good part of their time in the bunkers and the fow sccres reported were high. Jones, who already has scored a 69 and 70 in practice at Winged "oot, did nothing like that yester- day. He was busy getting all the bad shots out of his system before the open starts on Thursday.

Tilden's play in the first round drew warm praise trom the experts who pronounced him in better form than last year. Some even predict he will regain the championship hg held in 1920 and 1921. *“The sever- ity and accuracy of his backhand shots were dazaling and his play de; lighted everybody,” said Sporting Lite's expert.

Leto will meet Mike Esposito of Stamford, former state bantamweight champion, in the star bout at the Bulkeley stad- jum this evening and, if he wins, will be given another “shot” at Bat. Leto lost on a technical knockout to Battalino at Foot Guard hall last winter, but he fought under a big Randicap, arriving at the hall after aa all-day battle with the snowdrifts but half an hour before he was slaf ed to g0 on and entering the ring without having anything to eat all day. He floored Bat in the third, some- thing no one eclse has been able to do, but Bat's terriic body attack finally brought the Hartford boy the victory, that and a badly damaged eye which caused the referee to balt the bout in the seventh. Leto meets a clever boxer in Es- Pposito. Eddie Reed ,who has 14 consecu- tive victories to his credit, is apt te have the string broken as he meets Charley Von Redden of Atlanta in one of the semi-finals.

It might be mentioned here that par for this difficult course is 72—36 out and 36 in. It does not take a lot of figuring to calculate that four rounds of 70 would make a total of 280 strokes. Experts have flgured that 296 or a stroke or two more will be gooa enough to win the open this year. 1t they are right, Burke has a lot | of margin to work on. i On the other hand the 70's of practice become the 80's of actual championship . competition whe | voungsters and veterans alike crack wide open under the fierce stram. | Nobody is hastening to concede th crown, now worn by Johnny Farrell. 10 Burke just because of a pair of 70's but on the other hand the ex- perts are not ignoring the Westport youth either.
