TED RUSSELL FIGHTS TO A DRAW WITH SHANNON Ted Russell of Norwich and Billy Shannon of Boston fought a good draw n their 12 round bout at the Willow Point Casino on Thursday evening be- fore a record breaking house. Russell had the better of the early rounds but seemed to weaken toward the end of the fight. Shannon, who is a tough boy, took some hard punishment and some stiff blows in return. In eeventh round Shannon got to sell's wind and it looked as though the local boy was going down for the count but he managed to stick through he round. He came back strong in twelfth and Referee Billy Moran alled it a draw. The real fight of the evening was 1 between Joe Saviola and Young Willard of Fall River. Young Willard although sutclassed took some terrible punish- ment and was game. Saviola had all kinds of stuff and the bout was stop- ped in the eighth Tound when Young Willard was out on his feet. Soldier Gibson knocked out Fornier the second round of their sched- uled 6§ round bout. Smiler McCoymick poared Joung Weeney into taking a dive in the first round of their scheduled six round bout. As a whole the show was one of the best that has yet been put on it the Casino. gave the tn EAST SIDE INDEPENDENTS DEFEAT EAST ENDS The Independents got a strangle hold on the series for the champion- ship of the Bast Side Wednesday night when they chased Cramers East Ends al over the field to walop them to the tune of 8 to 6. “Smokey” Stone the Independents premier boxman was suddenly taken ill during the day, but the management secured the services of “Pepper” Percy Billings who had the East Ends eating out of his hand during the wiwle game, although an oM timer Pepper sure staged a come- back. Pedace swung a wicket stick get- ting three singles, with “Bugs’ Boyens, “Salty” Lynch a close sec- ond with two walops apiece. Another feature of the game was the snappy fielding of “Tangefoot’” Woodmansee, ‘Trick Feet” Risley, Chip Dyer and “Smeal” Falcone who brought the fans to their feet several times during the game with their sensational catches. ‘Kid" Baker of the Hartford Midgets pitched superb baseball for the East Bnds but received punk support. Mgr. Cramer has promised to secure an *ntire new lineup for the second game of the crucial series to be played at he battlegrounds next Wednesday svening. NO SUCCESSOR TO DANIELSON CHOSEN IN E. C.

Y., Aug. 17— Harry Payne Whitney today confirm- ed the report of his offer of $100,000 for the 2 year old colt, Messenger, which won the Grab Bag mndicap here on Wednesday over the best fields of Juveniles assembled at the meeting. Major August Belmont departed for New York soon after the running of the Grab Bag but is expected to re- turn here either tomorrow or Sat- urday, when he may pass upon the Whitney offer. In the event that the latter is suc- cessful, Messenger will fulfill his ju- venile engagements and ther be re- tired to the Brook Dale stud. Messenger is a chestnut cot by Fairplay-Mission. It is an apprecia- tion of his blood lines as well as his racing promise that has prompted Mr, Whitney's offer. —_— e Iioga.balus is said tc have had a He! dish ed. up composed “of the brajus or Pittsburgh and walked |of 600 ostriches, RECORD BREAKING CROWD EXPECTED : AT THE KACEY-WARE GAME SUNDAY Arrangements are being made for the handling of the largest crowd of the year at the Fairgrounds Sunday when the Kaceys meet the Ware team who bring Chet Nichols here to hurl against the local boys. When the Nor- wich Kaceys played at-Ware a crowd of over 4000 turned -out to support their team. Ware has a population about ore-third that of Norwich so with such an attraction as the famous Ware team it is expected that the crowd here will be even larger. The outfield will be roped off and ade- quate parking facilities have been ar- ranged for by the local management. Manager O'Leary announced - on Wednesday evening that Bill Powers, hard hitting outfielder for the St. 'An- drews club of Boston would be in left tield. Powers has been mentioned by Boston sport writers as the best of the Boston possibilities “for jor leagues this season. Powers was with Detroit for a time and then was let go for more seasoning and as he has been burning up the Twilight league it is expected that he will be recall- ed _another season. Dick Durning will pitch for the lo- cal team at Hudson on Saturday with Bergen doing the catching. Durning will also be at Norwich as a relief pitcher should Reynolds by any chance g0 wrong against Ware. Durning pitched against Ware on Tuesday eve- ning and held them to six hits, the game ending in a 2 to 2 tie.* ?; from Mrs. Mallory and playing a net DODGERS GIVE CARDS THREE COLLEGE STARS'TO ANOTHER BAD SETBACK RUN AT N.

LEGION TO ABIDE BY GOV. McCRAY'S DECISION Indianapolis, Aug. 17—American Le- gion officials under whose auspices the proposed ten-round bout between Jack Dempsey- and Bill Brennan is scheduled to Le held at Michigan City Labor day, will call off the contest, if Governor McCray continves to main- tain the opinion that the affair is il- legal, according to a statement issued by Oswald Ryun, national committee- man of the legion from Indiana. The legion's orgaaization stands for law and order, Mr. Ryan said, and if the govenor decides to prohibit the con- test, the legion will comply with his wishes. However, Mr. Ryan said the affair was to be a boxing exhibition and not a prize fight and added that there was considerable differenze between the two classes of fisticuffs.

Then Manuel Alonso brought Spain promiasatly into the picture by defeating Pat O'Hara Wood in a sensational cobo-back, 2-6, 3-8, X-§, 6-1. The victory of the lithe Span- jard thus ecarriss the final decision over until Satucday since a win for either nation “in the. doubles match tomorrow will still leave the sfand- ing one contest short of a decisive result, SARAZEN AND FREN’CH TO BATTLE FOR GOLF TITLE Oakmont Country Club, Pittsburgh, Aug. 17—(By the A.
