custom.

:: OVER THE TOP ::

A couple of weeks ago we heard
unofacially that fellow named Sam
Hollis was planning to stage a few
boxing bouts in Bridgeport. We heard
nothing officially to that effect; ergo,
u : 4..lew nothing officially about any
bouts to be held in Bridgeport last
week.
We can vouch for the truth of the
following tale, however:
One day last week a man named
Sam Hollis ran a boxing show at the
Casino in Bridgeport He may be a
his promoting in a very amateurjsh
way. He received very little publicity
before the night of the show, and
hence there was a, very small crowd
present to observe proceedings. A
small crowd coughs UP a slender
bank roll.
After the fights were all over, Sam
Hollis gathered up the pro-
ceeds in a bag and carried the same,
with him to one of the dressing
rooms. In the dressing rooms were
gathered all the fighters of the even
ing, waiting for their pay. Sam Ho1-
lis dug into the Bag Of Proceeds and
started the process of remuneration.
Several fighters were reimbursed,
and as Sam Hollis drew near the tail
end Of the line in waiting, he opened
the bag further and orbed the con-
tents. Then Sam Hollis tented Yes
sir, he tainted dead away, and Friend
Smith, Familiarity known as Trairer
Joe Smith, bestirred himself for some
water with which to revive the un-
conscious promoter.
Sam Hollis awakened, and weakly
paid off the remaining fighters. Some
say he tossed the bag in the corner
of the room after the last fighter was
paid off, Others assert that he care
fully folded it up and carried it away
as a memento of the occasion. There
seems to be some little doubt as to
its disposition, but all agree that Sam
Hollis tainted.
There is no moral to the above. It's
just a little h. i. newspaper parlance
for heart interest'') story.
We note that many sports scribes of

England, by reason of his victory

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-11-20

twice defeated by the present state
champion. Battling Kunz OF South
Norwalk. We make no pretense Of
claiming the New England champion
ship for Battling Kunz, because OF
Browns victory. but we do most vehe-
mently protest against the New Ha-
ven youth assuming to himself the
greater title. -
Why should Brown be styled New
England champion, simply because
he happened to knock Blades out
Blades may be a good boy but Brown
will have to take the measure Of the
South Norwalk battler before he can
make valid his claim to the New
England championship.
Just a word aneht the youth over
whose PROSTATE form Brown Claims
to have assembled to championship
heights.
Johnny Martin of New Haven out
pointed Mickey Donley of New York
by a wide margin in the semi-final
bout of last evenings show in the
Elm City. About two months AGO
this same Mickey Donley Knocked
Young Blades out. We deduce from
this that if Blades ever held a cham
pionship he lost it to Mickey Donley
on that occasion. Following up this
logical sequence of events, the semi
final bout at New Haven last night
must have been for the lightweight
championship of New England.
Johnny Martin defeated Donley. Why
isn't Martin acclaimed champion?
Probably because Donley didn't hold
the title, and, unravel1ing the tangle,
II Donley didn't hold the title, then
Young Blade. couldn't have held it,
for otherwise Don1sy would have.
And if Young Blades didn't hold the
championship, then Chic Brown
didn't win it.
We maintain that Brown will have
to defeat at least one better man than
Young Blades, same being Battling
Kunz, before he can claim, with any
weight to his claim, the New Eng
land lightweight championship.
