.ANNIVERSARIEs,
 OF RING BATTLES


 1818-Bin Neat knocked out Tom Oliver in 28th round at London. This was an elimination contest for the championship of England, as Tom Cribb, the old champion, was about to relinqu1sh his honors. Neat, Oliver and Tom Spring were among the most promising of the claimants. After his triumph over Oliver, Bill Neat chaI- lenged Tom Spring, but they did not meet in the ring until 1928 Meats right arm was broken early in the fight, and in the 9th found he gave in and Tom Spring was publicly declared the champion of Great Britain. Oliver took part in many bouts after his de- feat by Neat. In 1919 he fought a long and ferocious battle with Dan DonneIIy, the great Irishman. and was defeated. The following year he fought Tom Spring, and again was hum bIed. Oliver lived to a ripe old age and for nearly half a century he was in charge of the construction of the rings for nearly all the great f1stic contests in England. ThrouEhout his long connection with boxing he was known as Honest Tom.'' and he fully deserved the title.

PETE FALSEY OF
 YALE SIGNED BY
 PITTSBURGH CLUB

Pete F'alsey. Yale's star left fielder and a New Haven native yesterday affixed his signature to a Pittsburgh National League contract. Falsey, according to baseball men, has the necessary qualities for a bright fu- ture. He will report to the Pittsburgh club on Monday.
 As Pittsburgh has a wealth of out field talent, Falsey will be farmed out this season to some American as- sociation or Southern League club. Falsey was recommended by James E. Canavan. the big league scout.
 Both Pittsburgh and the Chicago White Sox were dickering for the ser vices of Falsey and Pete was given better terms by the Pirates. He leaves Sunday night for Pittsburgh.
 Falsey started playing amateur ball about New Haven when old enough to throw a ball and swing a bat. He graduated from the New Haven High school and while there established a record as a ball player. He was for- merly a pitcher, but later played the outheld. Falsey was one of the best senni-pro players seen in New Ha- ven. and when he entered Yale four years ago. he showed much class in the national game.

WATERBURY BEATS BOLTS
 IN HARD GAME

Waterbury. July 1o--A baseball manager has only one guess in a, close game and Manager Boultes guessed wrong yesterday when Bridgeport lost a ten inning battle to Waterbury by to 2. Jolly Jake guessed that Dick Tuckey could bat for Gervafs and make a hit. But Dick didn't come across and in the 10th inning he was hit hard enough to give Waterbury the victory.
 It was a tough game to lose. Bridge port played aggressive ball and had Waterbury tied by 2 to until the 10th. Then the cohorts of Lee Fohl landed on Tuckey for two singles and a two bagger and the day was lost for the Bolts.
 Lefty Gervais was in fine fettle for Bridgeport The southpaw held the Fohi s1uggers to five hits and they only scored in. one inning, the sixth. Osborne Waterbury's prize southpaw, bothered Bridgeport considerably. The Bolts collected only seven safettes but managed to get a couple of runs Wa terQury was ahead by 2 to 1 until the ninth when Bridgeport tied matters.
 George Crook banged Osborne for triple and single. Hallman got a dou- bIe and single and Ems had pair of smashes. Both clubs played errorless ball. The score:
