He pitched air-tight ball for Soupladie last year, allowing only a few scattered Hits that were scattered all over the State of Vermont. Twice he pitched no-hit games, losing ‘em both on bases on balls, Some innings Bud would pass eight men in order to get at an easy batter, He Justified this strategy by striking that guy out. o's By other startling stratagems Bud held his opponents to doubles and triples when they should have been knocking home runs. In other words, he held the score to a minimum. The contest with the Mont- Peller Horsechestnuts was one of the most glorious defeats Bud ever wallowed in, Thousunds of bricks changed hands when the game was over. * 8 Now that Cal Coolidge has been’ elected, Bud has Practically the entire State of Vermont pulling for him, He is expected to make good by strategy.

Rounds of Championship Fight in Garden, [ about the disturbance that took place between the third and fourth rounds of the welter- ‘weight championship bout in the Gar- den ou Monday night, on which occa-~ sion Jack Britton successfully de- fended his tile against Ted Lewis, the Engifsh boxer. Most of the fans who attended the show didn’t know “what it was all about,” as the slangy saying goes, Britton, the champion, was criticised by those who weren't aware of the facts because he went over to Lewis's corner. The argument arose over a rubber By Alex. Sullivan, E whole town is still talking /mouthplece that Lewis wore. He has been allowed to get away with it in English rings, They say that he had the rubber in his mouth when sev- eral weeks ago he knocked out Johnny Basham, which bout was sup- posed to have been for the welter- | weight championship of Europe. Britton learned from his handlers that Lewis had the mouthpiece when the bout started. He was as mad as the well-known hatter fg supposed to have gotten. He informed Referee Nugent, so he claims, that Léwis was violating the rules, which prohibit the use of anything of this nature. The referee didn’t take any action. ‘The further the bout went the more He was not his usual cool self. It peeved him to think that Lewis was putting over something on him. While they were close together he told Ted that he would have to take out the rubber. Ted laughed at him, Consequently Jack, sort of lost contro! of himself temporarily and punched wildly. as he seldom does whon be is fighting his usual careful ficht. Because the referee didn’t take any notice of his protest Jack went over to Lewis's corner at the expiration of the third round, Nobody seem@d to know just why he did It. Some thought that in the heat of battle he was forgetting his own corner. He merely wanted to request tha: Lewis take the rubber from his mouth. One of Lewis's handlers made an attempt to shove Jack out of the corner—and it was no easy shove, |either—and Jack took a punch at him, Thereupon the Englishman re- taliated with a punch at Jack. In- stantly the crowded amphitheatre pictured riots and everything. In a second Dan Morgan, Britton’s man- ager, quieted things down. Charlie White, Secretary of the With the Basketball Players Hopes of the basketball team of New York University that they would get a chance to revenge the defeat handed them by the University of Pennsylvania quintet in a recent game q ' + Boxing Commission, was sitting at the ringside and Charlie Harvey, manager of Lewis, wppealed to him, White told him that it was all right for Lewis to wear the rubber and #0 he did for the rest of the bout, Im flagrant violation of the rules. Section V. of the Irternational joxing » which govern the Sport in this State, reads: Contestants shall report to the Director of Bouts in the clubhouse at least two hours be- Shall ins if fore entering the ring. box in proper ring costume, cluding protection cup, al which shall be firmly adjus previous to entering, th The belt or trunks tend abo the waistlin other gat except as abovi specified, shall be worn by boxere on entering the ring, except a bathrobe, Gloves shall be adjusted in the ring under the supervision of the referee, the laces to be knotted on_the back of the wrist. The use of grease or other bstances which might handi- @ap an opponent is prohibited. Therefore it is plain that it is against the rules to use a mouthe piece. “Lewis would have been entitled just as much t> wear a catchers mask as a rubber jn his mouth,” said Britton last night, “If they allow @ boxer to wear a rubber to protect bis jaw, why not a nose guard or pro- tectors for his ears, . “A rubber in the mouth softens the jar of a punch, It acts as 4 cushion and makes It almost impossible to score a knockout. “| hear a lot of people say that they are surprised that FT haven't been disciplined by the commission. If anyone needs it it is Lewis. It was he who took a punch at me— not me at him.” Some time ago Johnny Buff, the crack Jersey bantam, was knocked out by Mickey Delmont, a third-rater,. because Buff wore a mouthpiece, and the effect of a stiff punch on the jaw caused the rubber to become lodged in his throat, preventing his breathing and being responsible for his being knocked out. Charley White, Secretary of the Boxing Board, announced last night that Britton’s breach of ring etiquette will be the eubject of a hearing Fri- day afternoon at the headquarters of the Boxing Commission and the La- cense Committee. Zelig Goodman, the gecond who felt the impact of Britton's gloved left hand, will be also on hand. Reporte of Referre Nugent and Judges Schmegier and Shorteil will be submitted at the heuring. 4 It is learned to-day that Madison Square Garden, after the show on March 17, will close down until mext November as the circus, swimming pool and other attractions will keep she Place oceupied for that length of time. It was also learned that Jack Dempsey, the world’s heavyweight champion, is going to stay on the Coast unti! around March 20, making pictures, when he'll return here fora short stay prior to bis sailing for “Europe on March 2.
