TO FIGHT FOR HOCKEY TITLE
First Game in League Series To
Be PLAYED To night.

local hockey enthusiasts will gather TO-
night az the St. Nicholas Rink 10 see the
first game in the Amateur Hockey League
chan1Uionship series between the repre-
scrtatives Of the New York Athletic CLUB
and the Hockey Club OF New York. Judg-
ing from the comparative form displayed by
these clubs last season this may not, from
an experts point Of view, be regarded as
very propitious opening. But the recent
form which the Athletics showed in the
game with the St Michael team, from
canada. was 90 Disappointing that unless
they improve materially the Hockey Club
team may surprise them quite as effectually
as the Canadians did a week ago.
Several improvements have been made IN
the Hockey Clubs lineup. Billy Russell
the old standby of the club has given way
m Jimmy Britton. who will captain the
team Bulger who distinguished himself
last season on tile Wanderers, will be a
real ACQUISITION 10 the team, for in practice
he has been playing better than ever and
e. is uossible that his old teammates Garon
and Harmon. may also be IN the line ere
long. The players are all In condition for
rard playing and the game promises TO be
an interesting one.

RUNNERS OUT IN RAIN PLENTY Of FAST BOXING
Olympic A. C. Opens New Year
with Thirty-tWo Rounds.

The Olympic Athletic CLUB OF Harlem
opened the 1911 boxing season with thirty
two rounds Of fast boxing yesterday after
noon. Two bouts Of ten rounds each were
put on. and the fifteen hundred persons
who packed the hall 10 its capacity agreed
that the year was well begun in one club
at least
IN the first bout OF ten rounds Sammy
Keller. the British lad, had an easy time
IN outpointing Young" Shugro, fast boy
from Jersey city. The latter put UP fast
and furious battle in his effort 70 start the
year with victory. but the Englishman
had similar ideas and had the science with
which TO work his plan. In the second con-
test, also OF ten rounds, Charley Goldman
the veteran bantamweight, OF Brooklyn
outpointed George Kitson after SLOW
battle.
The bout between Keller and Shugro
brought together d game, willing but mex
perienced lad and one Of the cleverest and
trickiest boxers in the ring, and as in all
cases where beef and brawn are pitted
against science and cool deliberate skill
the latter prevailed. Shugro forced the
milling from the first tap Of the gong until
the final bell sent the lads 70 their corners
in the face of a beating which Would nave
tested the courage Of a Nelson.
His efforts IN the greater part were OF
little avail. for the Englishman boxed with
cold and steady skill, and the greater num-
ber OF the punches swung around his neck
and did no harm Keller worked prettily
timed straight left 10 the face and shot
home a right to the jaw that carried all his
ga-- al n
heel when II connected. He was calm un-
der fire. and although he retreated before
the furious charges Of the American lad
It was the slow, stubborn retreat OF the
worried badger fighting as he went.
Sammy displayed some fast foot work.
and not for a moment was he of his bal
ance. He drew away from the leads OF his
man. and when they shot by or whistled
over his head he leaped in with hard
lunches to the body or head with either
hand
shugro showed a fash Of the form which
has carried him along toward the top Of his
class during the last few months in the
first round. At the tap Cf the gong he
rushed across the arena anl met Keller be-
fore the latter had an opportunity 10 put
I'D his hands. He shot homo heavy right
10 the face and landed left to the head
and ducked a hard right counter. Keller
tore into a clinch and worked with both
hands 10 the body shugro flung him of
and landed three rights and let's 20 the
face without return. Keller worked hard
10 even the score and boxed at top speed,
hut the Jersey lad was not 10 be denied al
least one round and easily had a shade in
this period.
There was little real work IN the Gold
rnan-Kitson bout. Goldman was by far the
better boy. but was evidently saving him
self for the bout in which he is 70 engage

worked under wraps throughout.
