The New England amateur boxing
championship meeting at Mechanics
building, Boston, tonight. promises to
be up to the standard, fer there are 20
entrants and about all of the best or
the "pures" in this section are among
them. Since last year many of the title
holders have turned professional. and

Young Hugo Kelley" the fastest
featherweight ever turned out in Port
land, is making good in Philadelphia

at in the clubs in Philly. Hugo. who
is now boxing under his own name
of Frank DeRice, has been matched to
meet Harry Diamond, q local boxer

Arthur Fletcher of the New York
Giants, who has been playing first
base for the second team, is back at

Hank" O'Day, who has appointed
Tommy Leach field captain of the

at an umpire without getting tossed
out of the game.
The Tigers have six outfielders,

FIVE men. and High very likely is the

According to word received Z

According to word received from
Manchester, N. H, the battle there
on Tuesday night between Phil
Schlossberg, the ex-navy and anna
teur heavyweight champion, and Bill
McKinnon of Roxbury, was one of
the best heavyweight contests seen
for years in New England. Because
of the great work put up by the pair,
the matchmaker is planning to use
the men over again within a few
weeks for, as the bout resulted in a
draw, many of the fans want to see a
clean-cut winner returned. As matters
stand the question of superiority is In
as much doubt as ever.

Review of the Season

Undoubtedly, the best games of the
early season We're those against Deer
ing High and against Portland High
in Portland, where on a strange floor
these teams were played to a stand
still with scores of 12-1 and 80. re-
spectively. The tie game with Port
land on their home floor was an
achievement that speaks for itself and
those who were so fortunate as to
witness this struggle had no doubt
as to which was the better team.
Inasmuch as this Portland team
was runnerup for the championship
of the Express Advertiser League and
has beaten the final leaders of that
league. but has not beaten the Cony
team, the fact would make the Au-
gusta aggregations claim good in
view of the fact that no return game
could be secured.

E1al application for the tour was made
yesterday to the American Automobile
Association by officers of the Chicago
club. Plans for similar endurance
run were made a year ago, but the
run was not held because of the OBJ
jections of manufacturers who insist
ed the tour be held under stock car
ruling. Such ruling will, however,
prevail this year If the tour is award

One of the best forms of exercise
