Bat" Masterson, the veteran box ing critic and who writes with a fear less pen, has seen Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey in action in Toledo and he says there is nothing to it but Willard" Bat says that the cham pion, contrary to reports sent East, Is in splendid physical condition and should have no trouble, defeating the challenger.
 Larry Williams, the most promis- ing light heavyweight in this coun- try, is working hard for his battle with Kid Norfolk of Panama at John ny Jennings club in Jersey City on next Monday night. Larry had an easy time with Norfolk in their last engagement and if in good condition there Is no reason why he shouldn't repeat in Jersey.
 Dutch Brandt of Brooklyn, who has just recovered from his injury sus- tained in a bout with Frankie Burns of Jersey City, is training faithfully in anticipation of getting another crack at the pride of Skeeterville at the Rice A. c. of Portland, Me, next month. No definite date has yet been set for the bout.
 Young Fulton is smothering editors of this country with a letter in which he attacks Benny Valger, alleging that the French flash Is lodging him. Benny is too tough a bird for Full ton, but if the latter doesn't mind a small thing like a nap let him stick around

 Fight fans in the metropolitan dis trict figure that the Larry Williams Kid Norfolk bout in Jersey City or next Monday night will draw in the neighborhood of s4,OO0.

Locals Unable to Connect With Hits And Are De- feated By Hillies-Other News From Balldom.

RRIDGEPORTS Americans took D flop up at Pittsfield, but nowhere here or in Pittsfeld where the locals are temporarily located today, is there any sign of worry, for the very good reason that that defeat at the hands of the Berkshire boys brought about no change in standing. For while the Bridgeport team was submitting to Pittsfield in the latter city the Grays. who are in command of the league forces, were losing to Spring field, ' to 1. The score by which the Americans were defeated read to 1.
 Today the Americans wandcred off to Springfield, where, if the weather permits, they will open a two-game series with the Ponies. The Ponies are a dangerous lot of players and will have to be carefully dealt with. Just whom Manager Grimes will use on the mound today is problematical. He has tried to use his men in rota- ton, but with team like Springfield such practice must be set aside and the best hurlers sent on the mound.
 Shanty House worked for Bridge port yesterday afternoon, but in spite of his untiring efforts he was as help less as a man on crutches for the Pittsfie1ders> got to h.m and did not let him go until defeat finally came House backed his deliveries with speed, but the harder he tossed them, the harder they bounded back onto the field for hits that were turned into runs
 The Bridgeport team collected nine hits, but, even at that, victory was a seemingly impossible reward for their efforts Their poor base running ha fo ct that thew cOI1d not connect with the ball when hits were most needed resulted in their downfall Birmingham, who pilots the Pittsfe1ders. and Messenger s hard hitting were perhaps the most interesting outstanding features of the game.
 The Grays found Springfield equally as tough-if not more so. The Ponies defence was impregnable. A rally in the third inning when the Ponies scored six runs made it impossible for the Grays to win, for while at times they appeared to be dangerous and headed forward they never were able to get men on bases or connect cleanly with Purvere'S offerings. And Purvere, by the way, is a Providence boy, being intersch plastic champion pitcher of Rhode Island three years ago.
 The Dodgers have an off day today, but play the Phillies a double header at Fbbets Field tomorrow and one game on Monday. Wilbert Robinson, Brooklyn manager, says the Dodgers will climb back in the first division again. He said nothing but an un- precedented series of bad breaks was responsible for the loss of ten straight games by Brooklyn on it's recent Western trip. The entire pitchin

BroOklaWn Club Crack Defeats StOddard In Close Match, , and 1-Other Local Players Lose Out.
By a Staff Correspondent.

NEW BRITAIN, June 27.---Play in the seni-final of the twentieth annual championship tournament of the Con- necticut Golf Association was sched- uled for today and was to bring to- gether w. Parker Seeley of the Brook lawn Country Club of Bridgeport with R. H. Derning of Hartford and Roger Hovey of Hartford with E. L. Sco- field of Woodlawn.
 Intense was the interest manifested today in the semi-1nals by the sev- eral hundred golfing enthusiasts from all parts of the State. Play in yester- Gays sessions was followed by no less than 300 persons, many of whom came from Bridgeport, being members or friends of either the Brooklawn or Weato2ue Country Clubs.

 Frankie Lippe of Harlem was in town the other day and wants Tobey Owens, the well known and veteran handler of boxers, to look after him. Tobey, however, has turned him down as he is too busy looking after his private business as well as the af- fairs of Red Allen of South Norwalk and Sapper Conan of this city.
 Doc Bagley wants a flat guarantee of S2,O00 with a 30 per cent. option on the gate receipts for a bout be- tween his champ Willie Jackson of New York, and Lew Tender of Phil adelphia Phil Glassman, Lewis manager, wants the match for the latter part of next month at the Ma tional League ball park in Philly.
 Phil GIassman has not given up the idea of using Battling Levinsky's services by the way. Bat and Harry Greb were to have fought for Phil at the ball park in Philadelphia next Monday night, but for some reason or other he called off the entire show between Battling Levinsky and Harry Greb on July IA.
 Freddie Sears, writing from Phila- delphia, informs the writer that Phil adelphia will be THE boxing center of the country after the big fight Freddie informs the writer also that next season instead of being a mere advance agent for Jacobs & Jermon he will be back, or, In other words, manage, Jack Singers Lew Ke1ly's Own Show.

Seeley Meets Hovey In Semi=Final Round Of
 State Golf Tourney

lI-5 threatened to mar play and pre- vent good scores.
 Seeleys playing yesterday was one of the outstanding features of the day. The winner of the qualifying round defeated 1T. B. Stoddard in a very close and exciting match. As a mat ter of fact there were but two featurs that stood out prominently yesterday They were Seeley and Roger Hovey. Their play was the subject of discus sion at the club and at the hotels here and in other outlying cities and towns.
 The SeeleyStoddard match was prominent because of the close play ing throughout. Twice Stoddard got one-hole leads, but they drew level on the third and sixth holes and after that the Broowlawn club man alter mated between one and two holes ad- vantage. Seeley finally won this match 2 and l.

tain Tiger Idol which has very
wonderful power in that its eyes glow
when the little image comes near
Radium. They are convinced that
i"Grim' Gordon, Bellies guardian, has
secured the Idol in some hidden
niche in the walls of the house. So
they secure phial of Radium and by
passing this along the walls of each
room finally locate the Idol as the
Radium causes its eyes to glow and
shine right through the walls of the
room. The dangerous properties of
Radium are recognized by all scien-
lists and physicians who handle this
valuable mineral. great many ply
sicians have lost their lives through
Radium burns and the substance is
always kept in special lead containers |
