when near enough letting go with all
his might. Singer seemed not to mind
anything that the local boy handed to
him about the face. but appeared to be
afraid of his stomach, keeping his arm
across that spot for the whole distance.
When Kline finally got wise to this
weak spot he tried his best to reach
him there. but no use. In the eighth
he took Singer from his feet by a
nice right, but the blow did no great
damage.
The decision should honestly go to
Patsy for he won easily by his great
jabbing.

Width his new man, Tommy O'Toole, of
Phllly. Tommy was introduced and
wanted a fight with the winner of the
start bout, and Jim Shortell promised
to put them or soon.
Shortell made a howl from the ring
that the hold-up gang was working
meaning Kline. The shoe was prob
ably on the other DOT. When Kline
fought Guarina the latter stuck up
the management, and Smith, Patsy's
anager gave in for the sake of get
ting the boys together, no~twithstand-
ing the fact that he knew he was being
trimmed on the count of the house.
They tried the fade away count once
more last night, but Smith was there
with a demand for a guarantee for a
certain amount and finally won out.
Smith believes in never letting the
same bee sting twice.

ARGUS A. A. AGAIN TAKES
THE FIELD TO PLAY BALL.

The Argus A. A. has again decided to
place a baseball team on the field. and will
be represented by one which will play all
irst-elass amateurs and light semi profess

At a meeting held at the clubs rooms
recently, c.. l.. Homer. who so success
fully managed the former team of the
club, was again selected to manage the
team with j. G. Mclaughlin as his as
%slstant. Several new acquisitions, which
should tend to make the team stronger
than ever before. are noted in the per-
sons of McGuinness, formerly of the Auro-
RI A. A.. who will cover second. and Wei
ly. formerly of the Waverly b. b. c., of
the County League. who will take care
Of third. The pitching staff is made up of
southpaws in the persons of Moss, who
will twirl Saturdays, and Terhune, who
will be on the firing line in Sunday games.
The other makeup of the team is: Kemp,
catcher; Ferris. first base; Plum. short
stop: Hanson, left field: Terhune and
Moss. centre field; Disbrow, right field
Burns and Byron, utility. All Saturday
games will be played at Branch Brook

KLINE WASN'T in The BEST OF
SHAPE BUT He BEAT STINGER

Patsy Kline and Kid Singer fought
for ten rounds last night at the Bed
ford A. c., of Brooklyn. with Patsy
having the shade. Patsy fell Town on
the proposition of beating Singer. who
has been put away by a bunch of the
other boys, because he was not in the
best of shape.
The one thing that stuck out above
all others last night was the noticeable
lack of steam OF the part of the local
boy. Time and again he tried with
both his right and left and put every
ounce of strength in them, but it was
no use. The boy was not there and
everyone realized it. A man like
Singer has no right sticking ten
rounds with Patsy, judging from his
showing last night.
The way they shaped up at the start
of the go it looked as if three rounds
would be enough for Singer, for Kline
simply boxed his head off. Using a
nice straight left with an occasional
right, he drove Singer about the ring
and made him look like a novice. But
Singer was not to be denied. With a
logged air he bored in time and again
and finally managed to connect with a
few right swings that soon had Patsy's
bad left ear bleeding. But Patsy
evened up the blood score by making
the claret flow from SINGERS nose in
good shape.
They fought on in this fashion for
the balance of the fight, Patsy walking
in with his gloves held up alongside of

August %, in a ten-round bout with
Terry McGraw, of Baltimore. Sam
Wallach made the match last night at
the club, and agreed on the weight as
being 1876 pounds at 3 o'clock. McGraW
has been doing some really creditable
work in the past six months, and Is

GraW is one of the McGovern type,
and is a game. aggressive boy, whose
