i Speaking of Sports Kid Reney, New Britain flghter, scored one of the most important victories in his ring career in Hol- yoke last night, when he won a de- cision from Art Chapdelaine. Chap- delaine is concidered one of the best boys at his weight in Massachusetts. Reney dropped his opponent for the count of nine in the sixth round with a hard right to the jaw and in the seventh and eighth rounds, he chased Chapdeclaine all over the ring. Reney is booked next week to ap- pear in a bout in Long Island, N. Y. Last Thursday night, Reney won a decisicn over Al Tedesco of Bayonne, N. J., in the best bout of the night Waterbury. At Walnut Beach Jast Saturday, Al Andrini of this city, known in the ring as Ace Haynes. won a four-rcund decision over Danny Shured of New York. Joe Marine lost a four-round decision to Jack “Red” Knight of New Haven. The four teams to battle in this city Frigay and Saturday of this week in the Leglon Boys' baseball league are the championship outfits of foursstates, New York, New Jer- sey, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Sridgeport will represent Connee- ticut in the playoff. Providence Post team of Providence, will represent Rhode Island. Raymond Pellington post team of Paterson, N. J., will yepresent New Jersey while New Rochelle will represent New York. The Providence post team will be under the guidance of the veteran raseball promoter from Providence Tom O'Neil. The team is managed by Edgar Fournier for the American | Legion and is coached by Donald Burke, former term mate of “Micky Cochrane, on the Boston university team. He is also a former George- town university player. Fans will remember Tim O'Neil as the character written about in a feature in the American magazine about a year ago in which he was termed “King of the Sandlots.” Mr O'Neil has been promoting amateur baseball in Providence for the p: 8 years, having sent numerous players to the big leagues -uring that time. At the present time, he is head of seven sandlot leagues comprising 56 clubs and over 1,000 players. The Providence post team gained the title in Rhode Island only after | participating in a stiff schedule In\ Tim O'Neil's Judge Lmil Fucns Jr. league and also by o\m\\!‘r\lmm"lv‘ defeating two other clubs that qual- ificd from other sections of Rhede Island, Plans for tha There will be two games on v, one at 2 and the other o'clock at Walaut Hill park.

A weck ago the Herald stated | hat Arvid Foberg of the First Luth- eran team made a home run in an Inter-Church baseball league game. It now develops that it was his brother, Clarence Foberg, who pro- pelled this wallop from his bat, and, inasmuch as it was quite lik Clarence’s first home run in many and many a moon, we take this bo- lated opportunity of seeing that he receives full credit for it. SINGER VS. CHARLES Bronx Junior Lightweight Slated to Battle French Scrapper in New York Tonight. New York, Aug. 13 (#—Al Singer, Bronx junior lightweight, takes on Gaston Charles of France in a 10- | round bout at the Queensboro sta- dium tonight in what apparently amounts to a tune-up match for Singer before his battle with Kid Chocolate at the Polo Grounds Aug. | Charles is a rugged customer but | he does not rate in Singer's class. Singer, who recently knocked out Andre Routis, featherweight cham- pion, rate: 3 to 1 choice over Charles.

It may interest (hose have not scen the Australian to describe some of the antics Kirkwood makes a golf go through when he gives an of his skill. fancy ball exhibition They may be divided into two classes:—Shots that at one time or another would come in handy in the course of a round and freak shots that would be of no practical use In a game. In the first class are the hooks and slices, played with wood or iron, the cut shots that stop on the green with & jump and the low or high carrying ball. Picking the ball out of a depression in the turf with a brassie and sending it on its way, rds, is one of his most impressive strokes from the viewpoint of practicability. As he makes these shots in an exhibition, Kirkwood explains just what he does to make the ball be- | have in | shots left handed with a right hand- the manner he destres. | Simply by making a slight change in the position of his feet, he makes | the ball break to the left or to the | right | He has a wide variety of ireak shots at his command. He car drive 200 yards with an ordinary putter and make the shot look like | a midiron. He can play left handed and even make quite respectable ed iron. One of his specialties is to play two balls with a mashie and mashie. niblic at the same time. Or he will hit two balls with one club. On the green, Kirkwood can hook, slice or jump his ball around or over a stl mie with a touch which reminds you | of a billiard player making a deli- | cate kiss shot with the ivories. | %eeing up the bhall with wax. he plays it off a golf bag or club head. from a man's to nd off the end of a swinging string, with a full swing of his driver, He tees up a half-dozen balls, an- nounces, “keeping your eye on the | Pall is all ‘applesauce’,” and slams | them out for 260 yards while look- ing around at the audience. One of his most spectacular stunts is to hit cight balls into the air so fast | that they look like a flock of small Lirds soaring in the sky. A lot has been written about| Kirkwood’s ability to hit a ball into | the air so that it wil fall behind | him. It ought to be explained that he mahes this shot from the side of a steep bank. From a level lie he can make the ball go up so near- ly straight that he does not have to move to catch it as it falls. The shot that, perhaps, calls for the most skill is made hy Kirkwood | left handed with a mashic. He plays the club-head - perpendicular and | makes the hit on the toe of the| club. : i © 1929, LiGorTT & Myems Tomacco Co.
