FIsTIC HISTORY

Valentine Braun, known in fstic circles as Knockout Brown, the light weight boxer that was, saw the light of day on this date, April 27, in the year 1891, which sounds as though it was ancient history, but it. isn't. He is a native of New York. Kayo, all though twenty-seven. years old today, is all through as a fighter. Early in 1916 he tried to pull a comeback, and fought Banty Lewis of Newark for the lightweight championship of New Jersey, but was knocked out in the seventh round.
 Brown was one of the most widely press-agented of all latter day ring the reputation given him by the nim- ble typewriter pounders, and is tss os classified among the celebrated false alarms of ring history. He fought scores of contests with lightweight tePnotchers, however, without ever being knocked out until Joe Rivers turned the trick at Vernon in 1913. Bud Anderson also put him to sleep, and Jake Abel defeated him in At lanta, also in 1913. Even at his best, however, Kayo was not a first class and gameness, but little else. Like most of the left handlers of the boxing world, he was short on skill and science. George Clancy, the Balti- more southpaw, was about the only really successful boxer who stood with the vraRS faak forarnost

LINDSEY ENLISTS
 IN RESERVE CORPS

Mort Lindsey of this city, claimant of the worlds bowling title, enlisted in the Naval Reserves yesterday as second class seaman. Lindsey was eligible for call in the next quota of drafted troops, but chose to beat the draft by enlisting. He Is now awaiting official word to discard his bowling regalia for the sailor blouse. Lindsey, it is understood, will be assigned to naval duty at Pelham Bay.
 The enlistment of Lindsey follows closely upon the call co service of Joe Porto, state duckpin champion. Porto was included in yesterdays quota which departed for Camp Upton from New Haven. Lindsey and Porto, it will be recalled, finished in third place in the double events at the last American Bowling congress meet in Cincinnati. Lindsey and Porto are recognized as two of the best bowlers in the country and have done much toward keeping Connecticut on the map.

COLLEGE TITLE
 WON BY BARTELS
U. of P. Freshman First in Pentathlon Meet Held at
 Franklin Field.

Philadelphia, April 27-John Bar tels, a big, awkward freshman of the University of Pennsylvania, won the pentathlon, the all around college championship of America, on Franklin Field yesterday afternoon.
 The event which consist of five contests on track and field, was the feature of the first day of the twenty fourth annual relay carnival of the University of Pennsylvania, and sev- eral thousand spectators, majority of whom wore the navy blue or the khaki, saw him defeat more than a dozen stalwart young collegians for the coveted honor.
 At the end of his days performance Bartels had the low score of 15 points. D. H. Shea of Dartmouth finished second with 19. M. Paddock of the University of Kansas was third with "A, one point better than that record ed by Charles Hammond of the Uni versity of the South. R. Bechtel of Lafayette finished fifth, and sixth place went to sturdy youngster nam- ed Emery of Penn State, who was the last to qualify.
 Bartels literally won in a walk. At the end of the 1,5OO meter run, the last contest of the event he was walk. ing no faster than does the ordinary New Yorker who is out for a stroll on Fifth avenue. He finished nearly a quarter of a mile behind his oppon- ents, but it was not necessary for him to do better. In the earlier events he had displayed sufficient speed strength and stamina to give him a lead that only complete collapse in the long run could overcome. And Bartels took no chances of collapsing He was out to cover the course and he did it in the most 1eisurely fashion
 The victory of Bartels was a big surprise to- followers of college ath- letics. Despite the fact that ma jority of the top notch collegiate ath. letes are serving the government 1T either the army or navy, several O. the contestants in the event had dis played enough of the essential qual
 ities that make for the great athlete! 1 to warrant the belief that they would beat the Pennsylvania unknown.

RIVAL SOCCER GAME TOMORROW
Pick of English and Scottish Players to Meet in Inter
 national Contest.
By JOE BOOTH.

Arrangements are now comlete for the playing of the greatest soccer game of the season when the English and Scottish teams will battle for the International championship of the state at the Meadows tomorrow. The cream of Connecticut is represented in this game as the players have been drafted from all parts of the statp. The comittee are sparing no expense in order to make the game the great est success of the season and has se- lected the following teams:
 England-CoIliss, Bridgeport City, goal; Mason, Bridgeport Rovers, and Coombes, Ansonia, backs; Cosham, Hartford United, Daniels, Bridgeport Rovers, and Smith, Bridgeport City, halfbacks; Fildes, Bridgeport City, captain; Satterwaite, Bridgeport City, Ellam, Bridgeport Rovers, Shaw, Bridgeport City, and Hardy, Bridge port City, forwards; reserves, Stam- ford, Wilson and Smith. :. ~.-
 Scotland-Moir, Hartford United, goal; John Houstan, Ansonia, and Cordner, Manchester, backs; Forsyth, bTluSepOFI Clly, 1OTh, NeH hdEelI captain, and James Houtsan,, Ansonia, halfbacks; Cruickshanks, Hartford United, Allen, Bridgeport Rovers, To- gan, Bridgeport Ro7ers, Shields, Hartford United, and Little, Man chester, forwards; reserves, Tosh, Bain and Griffin.
 The selection of the referee created great discussion as it was expected that Jimmy Miller of New Haven would be certainly expected but sev- eral objections came from the Eng fish side that as it had been Scotch referee for the past two seasons, it was only fair that it should be an Englishman this season and it was eventually decided that the writer, who is secretary of the State associa- ton, should referee this important game.
 The linesmen will be two of the re- serve players. The game will start promptly at 3:15 D. m. and the Lord ship trolley company have decided to run special cars direct to the ground at 2, 2:30, 2:45 and 3 D. m. A record crowd is expected. Being the only game scheduled in the state it is ex- pected that large crowds will be present from New Haven, Ansonia, Hartford and nearby cities.

FANS WILL KNOW ~
 WINNING PITCHER

Baseball fans will notice in this years major league box score sum- maries little item that should have been part of that compendium many years ago. It is the naming of the winning and losing pitcher in each game.
 It isn't always possible to tell just by looking at the box score wich pitcher should be credited with the win or the loss when more than one performs for a team. Therefore, the new system should prevent many arguments. If nothing else, it will add 20 years to each sporting editor life, for in the past most of the ques- tions asked during the busiest time in a newspaper office have had to do with which pitcher won or lost a certain game. The officials of the game have tried to discourage the idea and point out the folIoy of fig uring the pitcher, but the fans insist and will have it their way.

RAPID RISE OF PHILLIE BOXER
Lew Tendler, Who Meets Jackson Monday Night,
 Starts Life as Newsboy.

Little perhaps did the boxing fans of Philadelphia think when Newsboy Lew Tender tossed aside his armfull of papers and crawled into the ring at home town club to take a shot at a. preliminary boy that within few months the name of Tender would be on the lips of boxing fans all over the country. Perhaps they did not stop to think that night, Tendler beat his opponent and won his first bout that their little news boy would soon be listed as one of the contenders for the title of light weight champion of the world.
 But Southpaw Lew Tender may have doped it out, for Lew is a. de- termined youngster and when he starts a job he always finishes it. He decided to take up the fight game. He believes he was a. boxer and better one than many he had seen starring in those six round bouts in Philadelphia at the weekly shows. Lew had followed them all for seY- eral years and he got it in his head that he was good as some and better than many and in the short space ] of time that he has been in the game 1 he has turned out to be not only | Philadelphia's leading lightweight, i but one of the leading Eghtweights |, in the world and a. boy whose services are in urgent demand by matchmak- { CTS of the most successful clubs { throughout the-country.
 It was when Tender held Johnny Dundee even for six rounds that ev- cry one began to wonder what was in the little southpaw and what he might turn out to be as a boxer. He was given more tough and classy assignments and disposed of his rivals in a decided manner. He went to the front with rapid leaps and bounds and now everyone is rav- ing oyer the lightweight from Phila- delphia.
 Tender has height and reach or most every lightweight in the sport and being a hard hitting southpav with speed and cleverness combined he is one of the most dangerous boys in the 135 pound class today. There is no question but what Tender ant Champion Leonard will put up a sen sationaI battle if they ever clash fol the title. Billy Gibson, manager O. Benny Leonard, watched Tender out point Irish Patsy Cline in that Phila delphia bout and since then Gibso1 hasn't said much about Tender as ar opponent for his champion.
 Manager Doc Bagley expects hi sensational little battler, Willie Jack son, to dispel all thought of a Leon ard-Tendler battle in New Haven mex Monday night and expects that Jack son will be the boy the public vii pick for Leonard. Having polishet off Dundee in a fashion no othe lightweight could do and having stop ped Chick Simler and other tougl babies, Doc figured Willie will bea Tender and bear out his assertion that he has the real lightweight con tender in his stable and Jackson mus be considered first of all the light weights. Jackson is a little felloy
 with a big punch. He is fast an
 clever and can take a good punchin
 without showing any apparent bad et
 feet. Jackson made a most re
 markaible showing in New Haven re
 gently in 15 round bout decisio
 with Johnny Dundee when the verdic
 given was a draw.

Sophomore Didn't
 Know Eddie Collins

They are telling a good story on Eddie Collins the White Sox star, who, before he went south with his club, was in Philadelphia, and went out to Franklin field, where the vet eran, Roy Thomas, was coaching the University of Pennsylvania I1opefuls.
 Collins was cavorting around sec cond base in great style, when a young sophomore, who posed as as- sistant manager, happened to see him.
 Full of importance, and knowing few of the big leaguers, he didn't recognize Eddie.
 Bustling up to him, he said: ''Who are you?"
 My name is Collins" was the re- ply.
 well, you haven't any chance of making the team this year." was the reply, ''but I'll put your name down in the book. You should have turn ed out when Thomas issued his first mll."

Krichell To Send Charges
 Against SOX Tomorrow
ALEX PUTS MONEY
 INTOLOAN BONDS

Chicago, H., April 27-Grover Cleveland Alexander pitched his farewell game in the National League for the period of the war yesterday afternoon and won, shutting out St. Louis.
 Before the game he was pre- sented with wrist watch by his team mates and two large bou- quets by his friends.
 He subscribed for $5,000 worth of the Third Liberty Loan bonds just before he pitched the first ball of the game.
 Alexander held out for and ob- tained a bonus of $5,000 from Charles F. Weeghman, president of the Cubs, before signing this spring, and this money he turned into bonds, declaring the Chicago club was not getting it's moneys worth on it's investment.
 Alexander left for home last night, after pitching three games for the Cubs. He lost the first game and won two. The $50, paid for Alexander and Killifer has been paid. The contract read that if they were drafted 30 days before the season opened the money should not be paid.
 Both were drafted after the sea- son opened, but Killifer's draft has been deferred.
 It was hail and farewell for Alexander yesterday, his only Chicago appearance with the Cubs. The cost to the Weeghman syndi- cate of the three Alexander games is 16,666.67 a game.

JOHNSON WINS
 FIRST OF YEAR
Washington Speed King Ably Assisted by Yankees
 Poor Exhibition.

Miller Huggins's bric-a-brac pitch ing staff gave another grand exhibi- ton" at the Polo grounds yesterday and made it pretty soft for Walter Johnson to. collect his first victory of 1918. Perhaps as Johnson already had lost three games, two to the Yan- kees, has was due to win, but there was no sense in making him a present of the game.
 Washington had five runs in be- fore the Tanks got a single man out in the first inning, and the Senators were eight runs to the good in the second chapter. Even Murderers Row has it's limitations, and overhaul ing an eight run lead with Walter Johnson pitching was asking just a little too much. The local offers did succeed in melting the Senator lead in two, but the District of Columbia chaps won the third game of the set with yards to spare, the final score being 9 to 4.
 McGraw, the University of Cobra do youth who was sent to Newark for seasoning last year, was the leading Yankee culprit. He must have been seasoned too much over in Hudson county. Long Robert was introduced as the Yankee pitcher, but little pitch ing did he do. Bob hurled as though l the whereabouts of the plate was a deep, dark mystery.
 Higgins gave Bob nineteen chances to find the plate, and he got three strikes over during this extended per- iod. While he was using all his in- genuity in trying to find where Hen Fabian kept the plate he issued four straight passes. Herb Thormahlen was given the pleasant task of effect 1 ing a rescue, and after shaking a few wild pitches out of himself he was stung for single and a double, and by that time even Clark Griffith was satisfied and stopped screeching for runs.
 1 The Tanks hit Walter Johnson pret- ty hard, though he had little occasion to extend himself. The first two runs scored by New York were the result of errors. Later in the game the 1 home whalers gave the ball some hard rides, but had the misfortune of lin ing the little pellet direct to opposing fielders.
 | Ray Morgan, whom Clark Griffith
 has been trying to trade for the last five years, led the Washington hitters with two singles and a double. Joe
 Judge, the Newark boy, had a freak record at bat. Though he was up five
 times he was credited with one time
 at bat, one run and one hit. He drew
 three passes and tapped a sacrifice
 Elmer Miller attached himself to five
 more flies, giving him eighteen for the three games of the series.
