Fred Welsh Outboxed the American Champion Ritchie at London. Fred Welsh, the lightweight cham- pion of England won the title of the world in defeating and outboxing Will- ie Ritchle, the American champion in London, July 7, 1814. The decision glven by the referee met with much disfavor among the American spec- tators as it seemed to them that neither man appeared to best the other at the finish, The boxing was fast and clever throughout and neither man hit the mat once and fully six rounds were of a hurricane fashion. Throughout the fight the Englishman scored the largest number of blows, but those of the American appeared to be more telling. All the old timers at London agreed -that it was the fastest and best bout seen in London for many years and some were of the opinion that Ritchie would have come out on top if a finish fight had been staged. The Welshman displayed excellent foot- work and dodging, which was - far quicker than Ritchie, and relied most- Iy in getting Into close quarters where Ritchife could not use his powerful swing. During the last four rounds, he forced the fighting hard for a knockout, while his opponent resorted to points. Bad Year for the Champs. Never was a season so fraught with startling reversals as the present year. Never were champions so harshly humbled or so timely tumbled. Of all the champions, who risked their titles this year in America there was but one to defend successfully.

After the conquest over Chip, Promoter Tom McCarev, of Los Angeles, presented him with a costly belt which was in- tended to be svmbolic of the title. Clabby mode: nd does not want to be labeled a world's champion unless the public considers he has the right. In order that he may achieve that dis- tinction he will defend his belt and conferred title against the world. His manager, Larney Lichtenstein, has mapped out a plan of battle and a sea- son of patient training to keep his man on top. Clabby has surrounded him- <eif with a m pable staff of train- ers, the chief of whom is Artle Me- Queen. The latter is a past master in conditioning athletes, and the fact that Clabby has always been able to 2o over the Z0-round route at top speed and finish fresh is sufficient testi- mony that he is in the right hands. ‘The speed which Clabby can retain for 20 rounds has caused ring critics to marvel.

White Hopes Have Been Powerless to Take it From Johnson—New Hope Springs Into Limelight. Jack Johnson still holds the heavy- weight title of the world, and from all indications the laurels will rest with him for some time to come, as all the white hopes of any account are no match whatsoever for the black demon. Frank Moran of Philadelphia tried to wrest the coveted title from him last June, but he was no match, as the negro’s superior skill and effective up- percuts wore down his opponent and easily won the match. At times the giant merely toyed with Moran and tapped the white hope's jaw at will. Moran was game though all through the fight, showing much stubbornness and did most of the leading. Towards the middle of the fight it looked as if the contender could not last through the twenty rounds, but he dlsplayed wonderful courage and staying power, and drove on until the final gong. tak- ing his purishment like a martyred soldier. The negro is forced to uphold hi title and has been booked to meet Jess Wiilard March Willard is a new hope springing into the limelight, and s set on taking Johnson's scalp, It seems animous _opinion among ced fighting men hat he man qualified in { figh rcles at the present time to face the black giant. It is said that a boxer bigger, heavier and stronger than the negro will have a chance, and in these the new hope excels Johnson. Willard is 27 years old and stands 6 feet 6 s tall, weighs 230 pounds and ha: reach of 831 inches. o inches taller and fifteen pounds i han Jjohnson, while his reach ten inches longer.

G G > zenith of football in the season was reached in the closing days s when the pow- nearer to their ring the season there tling results especially I 55 {in the one d con: which were ooked to by dopesters as being con- ts that the scores would be close. The ann me between Harvard-Yale a striking example, for the Blue eleven, an almost even st W gering proposition several the contest, went down to z defeat by a score of 36 department of the game the Crimson men showed superiority and generalship andc ompletely out- played the Blue eleven. Yale had banked upon its power to make its v through one of the strongest de- fenses of the season on eastern zrid- irons by means of a loose ball at- tack, always a dangerous method of offensive play. These lateral passes at times were brilliantiy carried out, but the majority of the time they were troken up by the stonewall defense of the Harvard eleven. When the Crimson combination had possession of tke ball, the contrast was striking as to the awkward way the Blue men hsndled the ball. To begin with the play was never rushed and it moved with almost clock-like precision. Evi- derce of perfect co-operation between line and backfield was almost present. The manner in which the Crimson in- terference brushed aside the opposing side was remarkable. The Harvard men had one of the greatest machines in. modern football and the Yale eleven, mouldered largely from green material, suffered the con- sequence. Coach Hinkey is considered one of the best coaches in years at Yale and great confidence is placed by the students in his ability to ultimately turn out a winning eleven in 1915. FROM THE CELLAR TO THE TOP OF THE LADDER Climb of the Boston Braves the Most Remarkable Record in Baseball. The Boston Braves of the National league in fighting their way from the bottom of the ladder up to the cham- pions of the world made a wonderful record in the past year that has sur- passed anything in the baseball world since the national game was started, and especlally in wresting the honors away from one of the best pieces of baseball machinery that had ever been produced. Championship teams are not often made in one season and the great team that the Braves wiped out, He is¢ WHAT 1914 SHOWED IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Connie Mack's widely known Phflldel;v of seasons of worry and grooming by the | shrewd and experienced Connie MM::L 1 o i | of two years produced from a collec- | don of young and untried baseball | [ | i phia Athletics was the product Unlimited credit must be given George Stallings, the stalwart leader of the Braves, who in the short space players one of the smoothest and the most efficient baseball machines ever known to the great American game. Stallings has been given the title of “The Miracle Man” on acount of this achievement. Very few fans in the country would have been willing to place money last July on the Braves for becoming the undisputed champs of the world for such a thing seemed 1 sible. t wa oractically on July 6th that the Braves started on their conquering and triumphal ' march. Step by step Stallings and his ever-fighting men swept through the defense of the Reds, Cubs and Cardinals anl lastly but by no means an easy task they downed the lordly Giants and were then con- ceded to be the winners of the Natlonal league flag. For several days near the close of the season the Braves and Giants battled. for the top notch, first one would take the lead then the other. The general opinion of the fans was that the Braves could not keep up the pace as they would crack under the terrific strain, but did they? Captain Bvers, the scraovpy little second base- man, who does not know what the name defeat means, kept his men on edge, never letting them slow down for one minute and through his tactu 4 and fighting nature added much to the wresting of the championship in Bos. ton. To the victors belongs the spoils and vcredit, and unexpected as was the crushing defeat, the Mackmen took it in sportsmanlike spirit, praising the winners and offering no excuse for their failure to win or hold in check their National League rivals. To crush completely the great Connie lack combination was the slogan of the Bostonians, which they did and ob- tained the championship of the u verse, leavine a trail of surprises and upsets in their wake which will be hard to duplicate in years, “From the bottom of the cellar to the unques- tionable champions of the world.” GROWTH OF THE FEDS. New Baseball League Active Existence Sprang Into in 1914, _The baseball world in 1914 saw the birth of a new major league which has aroused much controversy among the magnates and fans. The Federals virtually came into being with the ieap of Joe Tinker late in December, 1913, and from then on grew in jumps and hops during the winter of 1914, until a climax was reached in the in- vasion of Brooklyn by the Wards. A number of stars were induced to join the outlaws and eteadily throughout the 1914 season they began to cut more cheese. Ome thinw they have achieved which has benefited the players a good deal, and that is in making the mana- gers bid high prices for their stars. Although turnine in no great profits, the league came through the season in- tact and has much brighter prospects for the 1915 season. Indiamapolis cap- tured the pennant after a hard battle for the. fiag. Many of the sporting writers were labeling at the start of the season that the Feds would last until July, when the payroll seems to get heavy, but they manaced to pull through and are from all appearance on a firm basis to fight back organized ball this [coming season. In the way of legal processions they have had a number of lcases and the one that will cause much complications is the leaping and jumped to the Feds, and then after ac- cepting a $6,000 bonus stepped back into the folds of organlized ball. But the real destiny of the league remains to De seen, and the approaching sea- son will be a great test for the out- laws. N. F. A, BASEBALL TEAM MADE CREDITABLE RECORD. Won 17 of the 21 Games They Took Part in. The Academy nine under the leader- ship of Captain Bill Stanley achieved high honors in 1914, having played 21 games, of which they lost only four, and piled up big Scores on oppoSing teams. They started the season with a defeat handed to them by the Ding- bats and ended the season likewise with a defeat by Fort Wright. The tea mwas small, but composed of snappy —oung men who kept things moving. The prospects for 1815 are bright and Captain-elect Charles Young is of the opinion that they w clean up the best of the teams in the state. Eddie Murray at shortstop led the batters at the end of the season, with Chick Stanley a close second. Their record follows: N. F. A. Dingbats 13; N. F. A. 20, All Stars 15 F. A. 19, Bulkeley Ind. 0 . Killingly High 0; N, nn. Asggles 2; N. F. 2; N, F. Clinton 0 . 8, N. F. A. 0, New London . F. A. 10, Stonington 5; N. F. A. 13, Putnam 2; N. F. A 4, Fort Wright 10. Manager Bruce MacMillan of the 1815 team has laid plans for the for- mation of an interscholastic baseball league, and he has already had com- munication with several mangers and the present indications look quite bright. The nroposed teams are Pom- fret, Windham Westerly, Killingly, Putnam, Stonington, Bulkeley and with the Ji\cadpmy makes up an eight-team circuit. ACADEMY FOOTBALL. Tieven Formed From Green Material Did Fairly Well in 1914 Season. TUnder the guidance of Captain Frank P. Murtha, Jr., the Norwich Free Academy Football eleven passer through a fairly good season, having Wwon Geven and lost five games. The biggest defeat of the season was that of Bulkeley which smeared the red and white warriors twice, 20 to 0 and 2 Bto 0. Coach Overbaugh developed a good combination considering the green and poor material he had to pick from. At the early part of the season the team lost Avery, a speedy half back back of no small ability. He was injured and was unable to play for the rest of the season. Coach Overbagh expects to turn out a great team next season for by grad- uation the squad will lose only Captain Murtha and Shea. The lose of Captain Murtha will be a severe one as he has made a remarkable record in the grid- iron sport while at the academy. Law- rence Beebe has been elected to lead the rd and whit In 1915 and promises to turn cut a championship eieven. NORWICH STATE HOSPITAL, The baseball team at the Norwich State hospital had a very successful season, winning fifteen games out of the twenty-one played.

Robert Monrmann Wen Marathon Cup and Plainfield the Soccer Football Cup. During the year of 1914 The Bulletin company were the donators of two tro- phies which were called The Bulletin cups. One was awarded to Robert Mohrmann on May 30 for winning the modified five-mile Marathon race_con- ducted under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A, and the other was the stake for the Eastern Connecticut Socer Foot- bail league, which Plainfleld captured and wrested away from Taftville, which had the cup practically won. The Marathon race was .the first of n some time and stimuiated great intercst, as was demonstrated by the large number of people that lined up the streets eager- ly watching for the winner. The course was as follows: Starting place, Bulletin building, up Franklin street, North Washington street, around the Norwich Town green, down East Town street, North Washington street,Wash- ington street, over Main and up Broadway to the Y.

The race was fast and gruelling from the start and the winner showed remarkable staying power and had plenty of spurt jumping of Walter Johnson, the speed | pitching marvel of the world, Who | Stars ¢ at the finish.

Piainfield won the trophy after a hard fight in which the team displayed its superiority over the other teams. PREDICTS GREAT SEASON FOR ALL-STARS IN 1915, Manager Hughes Got the Team Into Their Stride by Middle of Season. Manager Hughes carried his dele- gation of ball tossers known as the All- hrough a successful season in 1914, although not to be compared with the record they established in 1913.

CASUALTIES IN SPORT. 111 Were Killed In Hunting, 38 In Baseball and 13 In Football. The deadliness of firearms fs re- vealed in the fact that the list of in- jured is not much larger than the list of Xilled. The list of injured In base- ball' is not nearly so large as in foot- ball, and yet the number of these in- jured in the autumn game is more than three times as large as players injured on the diamond. The hunt- ing fatalities of the vear fall off from 135 last year, although the injuries jumped from 125 to 162. Wisconsin lost 33 hunters, Michigan 27, Minne. sota 12. Michigan had 42 injured huntsmen, Wisconsin 36, and Wash- ington 20. From the statistics of the zame license bureaus it is estimated that 150,000 hunted deer during the open season.
