HOVER THE TOp:-:

state champion" Kunz and Brown met twice after the state title chang ed hands. The result of the first meeting has always been disputed. Some papers gave the fight to Brown. Others gave it to Kunz, and still oth- CTS called it a draw.
 Those who saw the fight, probably formed their own decision. regardless or newspaper comment.
 The last meeting between the two, Tn our humble opinion, was decided victory for Kunz. It is claimed that the South Norwalk youth went into the ring about -four, pounds heavier than Brown. Such may have been the case. If so, it was up to Brown; and his manager, Lew Brown, to make objection at the time. We do not recollect whether the boys had posted a forfeit for weight, or not. Clearly, however, if one was considerably over weight, the other was remiss in not insisting upon the letter and intent of the contract being filled Whatever boxing fans may feel re- garding the relative fighting ability of Brown and Kunz, the fact remains that Kunz is state champion, that he
 wrested the championship from Brown, and that he twice successfully defended it against Brown. Neither
 Brown, nor his manager nor any sports writer in the state, to oul knowledge, claim the lightweight championship of Connecticut for the New Haven youth. It is conceded to the Battler from South Norwalk. In connection with the announce ment in New Haven the other night that Benny Leonard and Chic Brown will meet in the Elm City. Dec. IT for the lightweight championship o1
 America, we are reminded of the story of the old negro who was firs1
 told of the probable happenings at g prize fight to be staged. The olG
 negro rolled his eyes, and drawled out well. all I'se got to say is hopes de undatakas don't die dat day." Another case of leading the inno. cent to the slaughter.

RIBBONS EASILY
 DEFEAT KNICKS IN SPEEDY GAME

Playing lightning fast game, and tossing goals in mid season form, the Blue Ribbon basketball team of this city had no trouble in defeating the reconstructeds s Knickerbocker five of New York at Colonial hall last even ing. The final count was 28 to g., but despite the one-sided figures, the visitors gave a good account of them selves and Manager Leavy's cohorts were kept on their toes throughout the entire fray.
 The Knickerbockers were unfor- tunate enough to have to play with out three of their regulars. Acker Smolick and MacMi1ln. The loss of these stars was keenly felt, although their substitutes performed credita- bly,.
 Manager Leavy was forced to make an eleventh hour substitution, also, Leonard going in at center for Harvey, who was unable to appear. However, the play of these two is very similar, and they are of about equal strength.
 The Ribbons commenced scoring almost immediately after the game started, and counted four times be- fore the visitors broke the ice. The first half found the locals in the lead 13 to 4. They materially increased their advantage in the second half when the Knicks slowed up noticea- bly,.
 Wassner played a great game for the visitors. He was in a class by himself, and had he been backed up by equally efficient play, would have found the basket with greater ire quenoy. Leonard, Clinton and Swan son featured for the locals, though White and Murray played their usu- ally strong games.
 The victors and Go1dEs played a fast preliminary, the former winning 24 to Il.
 Next Tuesday evening the Provi- dence quintet of Carbonda1e, Pa. champions of the Pennsylvania State league, will oppose the Ribbons.

of the major leagues, who asked to have his name withheld, pointed out the futt1ity of such utterances.
 ''Herrmann's remarks especially were greatly oyerdrawn," said this of hcia1. Judging from some of the stuff recently seen in the papers one would Imagine that the two leagues just went through one of their worst years. That is not the case. The attendance was not as good as in 1s16,, a record year, but everything considered it was better than was anticipated.
 Interest Keener Than Ever.
 There is no denying that baseball interest in the minors is dwindling. This has been brought about by va riety of causes, some which th< minors might have avoided and oth- CTS of which they were the unfor- tunate victims. The two year strife with the Federal League left them in a bad way, and just as they saw lt- tie sunshine ahead the country be- came involved in the great work war.
 tBut interest in big league baseball Is keener than ever before. There can be no better proof of this than the widespread interest in the last worlds series, as indicated by the re- ports of the country's biggest news agency. No Sunday worlds series games were played between 1910 and for special Sunday day service on the great as in 1910.
 %o1I n% 4o <Ap 1x interest in, the worlds series games in 1907 between the Cubs and De- troit Tigers drew 7s.oSs people and $101.7zs.5o. while six games in 1917 between the Giants and the White Sox drew 186, ,815 people and $42s,- 209. .50.p As a matter of fact, the six games last fall were played to more money than any six games in base ball history.
 Losses Greatly Exaggerated. :. t"The stories of losses in baseball last season also are greatly exagger. ated. The percentage of clubs losing money was no higher than in former years. The Giants and White So1 again made handsome profits Cleve- land had only one better season thar last, it's banner year was 1916. The Phillies and Detroit again had most profitable seasons, the Tigers break Ing their attendance record on the first day of lthe season.
 Both the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds had their best sea- sons financially in long time. Despite reports to the contrary. the Yankees did not lose money, but were able to show 8 small profit at the end of the season. The Red Sox made g. little money. and though Connie Mack agair finished behind, he had his best sea. son since dismantling his old team His expenses were low, and he came close to an even break. Washington was supposed to have lost money, bu- Griffith said the club broke even
 The teams which lost the heavies on the year were the four second di vision clubs in the National league the Cubs, Braves, Dodgers and Pir. ates and the St. Louis Browns in the American.

RACB MEETING AT
 JUAREZ TRACK OFF.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 21-There will be no fall and winter meeting at the Juarez race course.
 Announcement to this erect was made here last night by Col Matt J. Wfnn- manager of the Juarez track, who said that recently adopted pass port restrictions on travel to and from Mexico had made the, holding of a meeting impossible.
 It would be necessary, he said, for patrons of the track going from El Paso to obtain a passport from the American authorities and that this passport would have to be renewed for each trip to Juarez.

Heavily Backed Top O. the Morning Finishes Third to Jock Scot and Peter Jay In Sprint at Bowie-Pro- vides Upset

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 21-Top O tn Morning, the noted sprinter that early this-year on the New York tracks won many races, was badly beaten in the third race at the Bowie track yester- day. His pro stige as a sprinter of high, class caused many noted pIung- CTS to back him heavily to win. He fattered the hopes of his admirers until the stretch, where he stopped to a trot, and failed to land any part of the purse. Jock Scot trailed Jose-s fina Zarate to the furlong pole and then sprinted home alone, winning in hand for his new owner, Mrs. R. L. Bresler.
 Col. Cuff. imported from England by Grant Hugh Browne, won the first race and graduated from the maiden class. He is a fine looking colt. He won so imTessively that trainers pre- dict he will make a good three-year- old for his present owner, Samuel Ross, of Washington.
