The bout was Fun under the auspices of the Pastime Athletic club and was the best bout'seen in this city in many years. Robinson when he weighed in gt 6 o'clock tipped the scales at 169 pounds and Carroll weighed 165. While Rob- inson had a few pounds on the sailor, Carroll had several inches in reach and in height on Robinson. Carroll is a rangy, lank negro with a wicked right hand blow to the body. Carroll ‘was rather slow in his movements, de- pending on his right to win, while Robinson mmflé‘;’n:“:nd lm:g head work, we: lown Wi his left L‘:l‘ the face and right to the body. Tge first five rounds of the bout were rather elow, each man feeling out his opponent and neither taking the offensive to any great extent. In the gixth round Robinson speeded up and kept tapping Carroll on the nose, all the while working his right. In this round the Boston lad had Carroll groggy, but he failed te follow up his openings. In the seventh round Robinson had the sailor guessing, and the strain be- gan to tell on the New London boy. Robinson knocked Carroll down twice in this tiund, once for the count of e[sP“t and again for the count of five. The eighth round etarted off with a flash, but Robinscn knocked Carroll down. for the count of eight. Carroll with his haymaking right kept at Rob- inson’s body, but failed.to- make any impression. He missed several wicked swings that if théy had landed would have put the Boston lad away. ‘The ninth and final round went one minute and forty seconds. Robmson in this round came out of his corner as fresh as when he entered the ring with the exception of a cut over the left eye where Carroll's head hit him in & mbup. He waded lnto the ssilor, who did his best to cover up, bt to no avail. Robinson let loose a left hook that caught Carroll on the jaw, sending him to the floor. Referee Fitzgerald started his count and Car- roll made a game effort to get up but could nmot get to his feet before the final ten was spoken.

H OUIMET REINSTATED. AS/AMATEUR GOLFER‘ By U. 8. Golf Associ nual Meeting Friday. Philadelphia,’ J. dissenting vots;-the United States Golf association, -at, its annual meeting here tonight, adopted a resolution reinstat- ing Francis Ouimet, + former national, lamateur god champion. The action gave full’amateur standing to Ouimet, hifting /the “ban lodged against him by the-eyecutive committee of tht asso- clation ‘twd years ago, when Ouimet ‘Wwas ‘suspended for alleged professional conduct because-6f the sale of sporting 8Gods_in ‘Beston. The” resolution, as adopted on the recommeadation of the executive com- ‘mittee, explained that the action was taken because of Ouimet's presence in the national army as a sergeant and the fact that he had severed his per- sonal connection with his eporting g8oods business. The association voted not to hold national tournaments during the period of the war. Frederick S. Wheeler of New - York was elected president of the association, succeeding Howard W. Perry of Philadelphia. The executive committee was not obposed .to sectional, city or club events, inasmuch as these required cgmparatively little time to play and at the same time the players were In touch with their personal affairs.

New Lonron, Conn.; Jan. 25. — The forthcoming report of the New Lon- don board of assessors is looked for with more than ordinary interest this year as there seems to be an almost demand. for, the egualization of taxa- tion that would result in the increase of the grand list, the increase coming from properties in_the business center that have never been taxed propor- tionately to the mortsaged home of the industrious - workingman. That there will be increase in the grand list there is no doubt, but it will not be reached by an equalization of val- uation of taxable property, but rather by the general increase in valuation of every piece of real estate in the city, without regard to any previous valu- ation. Therefore there is to be in- creased valuation without any regard for equalization. Once the increase in valuation is made there is no hope fpfor a decrease, and the oft-repeated story-that an increase in valuation will mean a decrease in the tax rate will not prove true, for it is thus early un- derstood that there is. sure to be an increase in the tax rate to meet ex- penditures -that have ady been planned by the municipal managers.

His ability to build up great haseball machines together with his generalship in managing those ma- chines on the field have given him that reputation. Mack had had two great bascball it | machines since the American league began 18 "years ago, and had another on the way last summer. Mack fin- iched in the cellar, but he had a club of youngsters who could hit the ball and he had some very promising re- ccuits with whom he expected to force himself into a select place in the league within a year or two. There probably was no more disap- pointed man in baseball than Mack when he found 15 of his men, some of them the hubs around which he was building his machine, were called by the draft. It means that the work Connie had been doing since the fall of 1914 had gone to smash. There were two things Mack could do. He could try to build up.a club arotind the few stars who remained to hum and lose money, or he could sell his stars and begin over again and make up for his losses. Mack chose the latter step and for a £00d reason. Over a space of four years Mack had a winning team, winning the pen- nant three times and finishing second once.

This - double increase of taxation will of course burden the man with the mortgaged home, who has a little more than he can do to make both ends meet, more than those who have real estate that brings In substantial income. There s probably object to an increase in taxes to meet extraordinary expenses tbis vear, with expectation of reduction in tax rate next year, or some other yvear.

So far as goes New London. increased valuation does not carry with it a decrease in the tax rate.

But since then there has been no walking on the ice from shore to shore in New London harbor. Tn fact, at no time since tnen has there been so much ice in the harbor as at} the present tim=.

The liquor men not only strictly observed the Garfield orders but also the re- quest of Governor Holcomb. They saw the others doing a retail business jand went them one better.. While some dealers did their usual Sunday business in violation of the law, they sure did suspend the sale for the oth- er two dgys, and for this, even this class of dealers are entitled to com- mendation. It was practicaily im- possible for even the best posted drinking man in the city to zet drink, at anv price on the two day jthat the dealers agreed to do no bu: iness. Retailers in all other lines al- so ohserved the orders to the letter and New London deserves.a place on the roll of homor.

On this ac- count he decided to break up his club the sale of players . His sales petted him $125,000. enough to cover his deficits and give him capi- tal to build up a new machine. His late sales will cover deficits for this year and perhaps next. g Mack probably would have made more money from baseball had he not been sa heavily interesteq in the Ath- letics. He owns half the club and its losses are his losses.

There are thousands of devotees of the single-barrel scattergun, who dan pulverize the inanimate clays almost to perfection, but the trapsooters who can smash 50 per cent. at double are in the hundreds. There is one trapshooter whose abil- ity is unquestioned. He is Clarence B. Platt, of Bridgeton, N. J. Platt is the singles target champion of New Jersey—100 straight to win the title— and is the doubles target champion of the United States—96x50 pairs. He is also high amateur at doubles targets, the figures compiled by the Interstate Trapshooting Association giving him 121 breaks in the 65 pairs, an average of 9.307. . 5 Platt is the first amateur to average DOUBLES TARGET BREAKERS New Jersey Trapshot Won National Title, Equaled World's Record and Es- tablished Highest Average Ever Made 'by Amateur, All in 1917 [re——.

The average on doubles targets, as on singles, are compiled on the scores made in registered tournaments ‘and are based on two tournaments as a minimum.

White Sox Contribute Three to Lineup, Cleveland Two and Others One Each. New York, Jan. 23.—Six of the eight clubs composing the American league are represented on the all-league team consisting of players who made the test showing in their respective posi- tions, according to the official aver- ages of the junior major circuit. ‘The Chicago White Sox, winners of the world championship’ and the league pennant, lead with three; Cleveland is second with two, and Boston, Detroit, St. Louis and Philacelphia secure one place each. The All-American league combina- tion is formed of players,whose season ,hatting and fielding averages, when combined and re-ayeraged, place them in the fore ranks in their regular play- ing position. The rule requires that a playing member of the team must have taken part in at least 50 games. The one exception is that of the pitcher, who is not expected to fizure in close t oone-third of the scheduled play of the year. In addition to effective Work at bat and. in th: field the pitcher niust have demonstrated his ability to hold opponents to a low margin of runs and hits when in the box, Ruth of Boston comes closer to ce the o'dest inhabitan! ‘Donse BROTHERS WINTER CAR part to public confidence in the men who People are convinced that Dodge Brothers’ sole purpose is to make the car worthy of their 1t will pay you to visit us and examinz this car.

Willimantic are very evenly matched in all round playing skill. Schang of the Philadel- phin Athletics is first with a grand average of .620. Nunamaker of New York is bzt two points behind the Mackman, and Walters of New York, Severoid of St. iLouis and Thomas of Boston are right at the heels of the {leading pair. Schang batted and felded .956. Nunamaker fielded points better but his hitting average Was 24 points lowet Sisler of Detroit is an easy winner of the first hase position with a grand average of .669, 20 points better than his nearest competitor, Gainor of Eos- ton. Mclnnis of Philadelphia is but one point below Gainor and Harris of Cleveland, three points behind the former Athletic star, now .a member of the Boston Red Sox. Sisler leads the quartette in batting by a margin of close to 50 points and is fourth in fielding, but the difference in this de- partment of play is so slight as to have little effect on his grand aver- age. The place at second base goes to Eddie Collins of Caicago, who is easily the best in all round offensive and de- fensive ability. His nearest rival is Morgan of Washington, who is 16 points below Collins in standing. Go- doon of New York is third. Coilins is the leader of the trio in battinz and second in fielding, Godoon baving the best figures for work around the mid- way sack. But one point separates Wiiver of Chicago and Baker of New oYrx in the struggle for the position at third base. Both fielded at a .949 clup but Weaver average for the season with the bat was .284 to Baker's .282. Gardner of Eoston was third, his grand average being 15 points below that of Weaver. In neither batting nor fielding did he rise to the heights reached by the two that precede him in standing. Chapman of Cleveland 15 the premier shortstop, his combired average being 14 points better than that of Push of Detroit. Scott of Boston and McBride of Washington lead Chapman in field- ing but the latter's batting mark of 302 gives him a decided advanage over all of his competitors for the place. The All-American league outfield is a star combination, being composed of Cobb, Detroit, Speaker. Cleveland, and Felsch, Chicago. Cobb is high man among the first three owing to his heavy batting average of .383. Speak- er, Felsch and Jackson of Chicago all outrank Cobb in fielding but the lat- ter’s ability with the hickory gives him a grand average of .678, 13 points bet- ter than Speaker. The latter outhit Felsch hut was in turn outfielded by the third #myer of the trio. Jackson loses third position by the narrow margin' of four pdnts in grand aver- age, while Veach, Detroit, and Lewis, Boston, tied at .63 SPORTING NOTES . George Stallings this week is lec- turing at the University of Georgia on “Bulls.” No, not the baseball kind, but the shorthorn variety. Sailor Jim Carroll writes from New London that he is going to give Rob- inson the go of nis life tonight. Ought to be worth seeing if. he does. The Eastern baseball league has de- cided to get into the running again the coming season. A while back it was feared that the old circuit had sone on the rocks. L ‘Word drifted out of Maine the other _ day that George Lablanc, the oid time ° fighter known as “the Marine,” has ‘been seriously hurt while chopping wood in the Maine forests. While it has _been denied in some quarters that President Frazee paid $60,000 in cash for Schang, Bush and Strunk of the Athletics, the Red Sox cwner is emphatic in asserting that the figures are correct.
