Speaking of Sports The Kensington A. C. baseball team wil] go to Meriden tomorrow to meet the St.gtanislaus team of the Silver City. All Kensington players dre asked to be on hand as the winner will be awarded 60 per cent of the receipts and the club is anxious to win this contest. “Uncle Jée” Foote, feeling that he has. hit_the top of. his form on the lanes, issues a challenge to any other bowler in the city to a bowling endurance contest. Joe still has ail the old confidence and he declares that age i8 no handicap. Joe says the contest might end in a tree-sit- ting /bee before the players arc through. The Pawnge A. C. football team will practice Sunday morning at 10 o'clock at Willow Brook park. This is the last call for recruits and all players and’candidates must be on hand tomorrow. Jack Tobin or Rice will coanch the team whose members will be decided on Sunday. Primo Carnera, the man mountain from Italy, surprised even his most sanguine supporters last night in the exhibition he furnished at the Hur- ley stadium in FEast Hartford. The Italian giant proved why he is be- ing considered a logical contender for the heavyweight championship of the world when he toyed with three stalwart opponents in the ring for two rounds each. Armed with 16 ounce gloves, the Italian strong boy, had each oppo- nent on the verge of a knockout but he carried\tjem all along until the final bell in each session. For a man who wears a size 18 shoe. he moves with the agility of a featherweight. He is fast and hits like a trip hammer. His punches are well aimed and they strike with tell- ing effect. Even with the pillows used Wy the fighters last night, every time jie hit, he hurt. His opponents were absolutely un- aeble to find him. In the second canto, he alloged his opponent to bit him with rfghts and lefts to the stomach and the punches only made him laugh. He is a monster in size but he knows what it is all about. Although last night's test was nothing by whfch te judge him, Primo seems destined to be heavy- weight champion of the World some day. Right now he would be a tough customer for any of the pres- ent day crop of heavyweights. He has learned plenty about fighting in his barnstorming trip about the country and it is about time that he should be matched with some heavy- weight who will be able to give him a battle. A crowd of 9,000 fans were pres- ent to see the exhibition and the ma- Jjority of them ware not disappoint- ed.

I New York, Sept. 6 (—For polo’s devotees, all roads lec today to Westbury, Long Island, scene of the opening matcH of the tenth series between the United States and Great Britain for the International Cup. The series is on a best two out of three basis with the second game set for Wednesday and the third, 1f necessary, next Saturday. Each game was to last eight chukkers of seven and one-half minutes each with extra periods in the event of a deadlock at the end of regulation time, In the first game, America was to depend upon Eric Pedley of Cali- fornia, No. 1; Earle A. S. Hopping, New York. No. 2; Hitchcock, No. and Winston Guest, New York, baci. For Great Britain, Gerald Baldinz was to ride at No. 1; Lewis L. La. cey, No. 2; Capt.C. T. I Roark. |No. 3, and Lt. Humphrey Guiness, | back. America, rating an aggregate of 34 goals, was favored to win the series, perhaps in straight games, al- though it was generally conceded that the British challengers would offer more serious opposition than’ they have at anytime since they |last won the cup in 1914.

TEX RICKARD OF EUROPE | JEFF D By WILLIAM BRAUCHER (NEA Service Sports Editor) Jefterson Davis Dickson, may have guessed, from the south. Inasmuch as Amer- ican fight fans are about to receive the blessing of hearing about heavy- weight championship prize fights_be- ing held in Europe, Jefferson Davis Dickson becomes an important per- son. Jefferson Davis Dickson knows all about that, too; no one has to tell him. Dickson is from Natchez, Miss., and when he came out of the south some years ago, he not only had a big cigar in his mouth but a few well chosen 75-cent words on any subject you cared to mention. After the war, he remained in Paris, start- ing to promote fights in a small way at one of the boxing clubs. Step by step he promoted himself and his bouts in the public favor, until he branched out in London and reach- as you |ed the dignity of being called “the Tex Rickard of Europe.” . 5. Dickson, as a promoter, gave the world Primo Carnera, but atoned for that in 2 measure by removing from the picture Philip Pholding Scott. It was under Dickson's aus- shots—the two battle against Will Stribling, both of which ended in dramatic fouls. Dickson promoted also the bout in which Strib erased from the sheet the Phainting Phire- man. If Schmeling fights in Europe dur- ing the winter, as it is planned, the bouts no doubt will be engineered by Dickson. The young man recently came to America, for the purpose, it is said, of collecting some of the in- terest that has been piling up on a chattle known as Carnera. Dickson, the story is, owns a tidy acre or so of the Italian Alp. PN Dickson was quoted in New York as saying that Schmeling had decid- ed to remain in Europe to fight be- | cause he had not been pleased with | his treatment at the hands of Amer- | ican fight followers. But of course he was misquoted, as pointed out by Joe Jacobs, American manager of the Teuton biffer. Several of the New York news- paper boys grabbed the tidings that Maxie was mad at us and made con- | siderable copy of it. When Jacobs | read the pieces, he hastened to Dick- |son and after a short conference, | Jeff and Joe agreed that surely Jeft | must have been misquoted. | It was all explained to the scribés, | just as smoothly and convincingly | vour old man clears up the mystery | of nis belated toil until 8:15 a. m |after the officc seven times had re- | ported him “not here all day.” It" |all the fault of the tariff, and every | body’s happy.

In- CROQUET BOBS UP AGAIN Greenshoro, N. C.. Sept. 6 (P) — Greensboro merchants report an un- usual sale of croquet sete this sea- son, and believe the theory that bus- iness booms recur in given cycles holds in sports, too. w22 REDWINGS APPEAR | of New York, | | ICKSON \Seven Clubs in Leagne Em- barked on Hopeless Chase T HAVE PENNANT By the Associated Press It begins to appear clubs that seven in the International league are embarked on a hopeless chase |after the high-fiying Redwings of | Rochester. | There still is a chance that the Redwings can be overhauled before the season ends in little more than |two weeks but it is just about a Wmathematical possibility and that's all. Rochester today led ‘the second |place Baltimore Orioles by six and | one-half games and third place Montreal by seven and a half and only a serious slump by the lead- ers would permit either of the lat- |ter clubs to draw within striking distance. | Tex Carleton lasted less than two |innings against the Royals yester- day but the Canadians could do lit- |tle with Lefty Irvin thereafter. The Redwings smacked Herb Thormah- len for four runs in the first in- |ning and nicked him for single runs in four later innings to win with- out trouble. Pepper led the Roches- |ter attack with three hits, including |a pair of doubles. | Home runs by Stroner, Barton and Sand,accounted fos six runs as Baltimore trounced Jersey City, $-4. | The Skeeters outhit the Orioles 10 |to 9 but Baltimore's collection was lused to better advantage. Jim | Weaver lasted six innings for the | Orioles, giving up eight hits and| four runs but Monte Weaver blank- ed the Skeeters for the last three |innings with two hits. John Allen | went the route for Jersey City and | struck out ten men. | The Buffalo Bisons slugged John- | |ny Prudhomme for six runs in the | |eighth and ninth to tie the scorc | with the Toronto Maple Leafs only | |to lose out jn the first extra inning, |$-7. Richardson of the Leafs, ngled to start the tenth., went to second on a sacrifice and scored | from sthere when Burke forced Joe | Harris who had walked | Newark clubbed out an 11-7 vie- tory over Reading in a night game. The Bears clouted three Reading pitchers for 13 hits including a home run by Jordan, and triples by Jordan, James and Stahlman. Leo | Mangum pitched effectively for six |innings but was driven out of the | box in the seventh inning when FREEMAN IS NEW SECOND ROUND OF SERIES WELTER CHAMPION| TO BE STARTED TOMORROW Burritts and Sacred Hearts to Clash at Willow Brook Arkanses Buzzsaw - Given De- cision Over Jack Thompson . | Cleveland, Sept. 6 (A — They're hailing Tommy Freeman, the Ar- kansas Buzzsaw, as welterweight champion of the world today. After nine long, tough years of fighting, Freeman won the title last night from Young Jack Thompson of Oakland, Cal,, in a 15 round battle ! fought in League park. Patsy Haley, | referee of the bout, | unhesitatingly raised Freeman's | h in victo: Haley figured Free- | man won eight of the 15 rounds with | five going to the dethromed title- | holder and two being even. Freeman, knocked down for a count of six in the second round and with his knees buckling from a right to the chin in the tenth, came back to defeat the Negro titleholder in his first defense of the title since he won it from Jackie Fields in Detroit just four months ago. A crowd of 15,000 agreed with Referee Haley's decision. The spec- tators, first stunned at the change in the championship. suddenly cut | loose with a deafening roar in ap- | proval of the verdict. Thompson seemed the most surprised man in | the ball park, but he made no pro- test. “I think the decision was fair,” he said after he got over the shock of losing. “It's all in the breaks of the game. T hope Freeman will give me another chance and that he will be | a creditable champion.” | Freeman won the title because of his ability to outbox the champion. | who missed more punches last night than he ever missed in his life Thompson complained as early as the tenth round that his hands were sore, dut he did not offer thjs as an alibi. Freeman boxed and jabbed as he | never boxed and jabbed before and he caused the champion by skilful feinting to miss repeatedly. Only th'e second, fifth, eighth and tenth rounds were Thompson's by a clear naargin. to tire and fade rapidly. From the 12th round on Thompson staked his all on a right hand punch that never did reach its mark. Meanwhile, Freeman kept on ripping into him, always in close, 'to inflict body pun ishment or to spear him with heavy left hands to the head. Freeman is just 26 vears old and has been fighting for nine years. He ary 22, 1904, ster with a shock of pompadour hair and smiling Irish eves. He promises to be a fighting champion.
