Brooklyn's floundering Robins i Make Good Vaudeville Act By O. B. KEF | Ardmore, Pa., Sept. 25 (A—Bobby Jones appeared somewhat embar- rassed after his bout with Fred Hob- litzel of Toronto in the second round of the national amateur champion- ship Wednehday afternoon. Mr. Jones, who had shot golf in ‘the morning match characterized by one Iinglishmen as “most destructive’— he had finished off ghe first nine 3- for a net total of 33, and had d his match with Ross Somer- right there—was not so hot in matinee session, with Mr. Hob- litzel. Indeed Mr. Jones went out in around 42, with a ball out of bounds, and was 3 up. ¢ of the funniest rounds UER settl later. “I wish ghey could arrange a vaudeville act for Fred and me. It would go better than anything I could do in the movies.” One of the funniest things, Mr. Jones said, was the manner in which he won the eighth hole after driv- ing out of bounds. The 10th hole also had its elements of humor.

Pitchers Lynn Nelson, Al| |Shealy and Jess Petty are placed in | Teachout and Bob Osborn, enother Knockout. From out the dim distant corri- dor of near fistic oblivion, the figure of Louis (Htd) Kaplan, former featherweight, champion of the world, stepped forth last night, the exact replica. of the fighting ma- chine that once was considered the best in the world among the 126 pounders, to hand “Bat Battalino; present king of the featherweights, the worst beafing the title holder has ever received in his long career |in both the amateurs and the pro- | tessionals. | Many had expressed the opinion before the fight took place lha‘ Battalino had no place in the same ring with Kaplan. Last night's re- sults proved this assertion conclu- sively and the camp of the feather- weight king is a much wiser though sadder combination now than it has been in the past. Kaplan did to Bat- talino last night what he has done to a long string of promising young- sters in the ring game. He not only polished off his opponent like a master swordsman drives the rapier point home against his newest pu- pil, but +he laughed at a credible world which said he would be un- able to make 131 1-4 pounds and still he strong. Kaplan weighed 130 1-2 on the offigial scales yesterday afternoon ang he couldn't have been any stronges last night. Battalino, though beaten by his master, showed himself more as a champion in defeat last night than he hag ever done in any of the vic- tories he has scored in Hartford, including the title bout with Andre Routis last summer. He stood up |under the terrific fire of the buzz saw's hammering gloves, brushed aside the fast flowing blood from an, ugly cut over his left eye and hammared back at Kaplan with all his will though his best efforts con- stituted but a poor attempt to stop light- * ponertt Look Like Poor Novice — Neatly Scores a lunge for him and had completely missed. The force of his own blow carried him across the ring with his back to Battalino. Battalino was after him like a flash but Kaplan was in such’'a position that he was unable to defend himself. Battalino pulled up and waited for him to get set. It was fine, admiraple and praiseworthy. To those grouped about the ring- side, it appeared that Pete Reilley, Battalino's -handler, was advisipg Zim poorly. Battalino either couldn’t or didn’t want to fight Kaplan at long range. If he was sent into the ring to grapple at close quarters with the Kid, it was a grievous mis- take and his handling was serfously at fault. However, to the observer, it didn’t seem possible that Battalino could keep away from that flaijing windmill as Kaplan crossing his hands in front of his face, weaved and bobbed his way in close until he saw the glisten of Battalino's bedy. Battalino took a terrific body. beating during the bout. Despite the superior ring skill of Kaplan, Bat- talino made a gpeat fight of it. Al- most every minute during which the two faced each other, there was ac- tion and plenty of it. It is the hope of every true lovér of the ring rame that the beating he received will not leave any lasting impression on thes physique of the title holder. The roar at the conclusion of the battle was a great tribute to the win- ner and held no consolation for the loser. Bven in victory, his strongest supporters never dared hope that Kaplan would display the form hs did last night. Never, even inshis heyday as the featherweight cham- pion, was Kaplan any better than he was last night. He showed why the leading lightweights of the coun- try will have no part of him. He is every inch a fighter, evéty inch a champion. the boy whom the leading weights of the world of flsticuffs keep dodging consistently. In only one round was the cham- pion able to do anything. This was in the sixth when he caught Kap- lan flush on the jaw with a power- ful right and followed up this startling blow with several others before Kaplan tied him up com- pletely and kept slashing away at his midriff. Ringslders charitably,| gave Battalino an edge in this ses- sion but Referee Billy Conway call- ed the round even. From the first to the last, Batta- except for one circumstance.

Bat stepped around. jabbing, but Kaplan bobbed under the blows. Kaplan hurt Bat with a long left hook to the chin. Another left stung Battalino. Kaplan pound- ed both hands to the body. They went into the ropes with no damage done. Kaplan put over a light left and right and Bat landed a’few light taps. Bat was dancing at the bell, trying to box his way out of cote and Dan Taylor possibilities for the same fafe. Pat Malone was McCarthy’s choice to pitch against Cincinnati today.
