BENNY LEONARD STOPS
BRITT IN FIFTH ROUND

About $500 boxing fans saw Benny
Leonard score technical knockout over
frankie Britt, in the fifth round of their
fight at Hartford, last Monday night
It was tame exhibition, on the fact
that the fans paid their money to see the
lightweight champion, they would have
been sore over the bout, for Britt was
entirely outclassed, and at no time was
match for the titleholder.
Spencer-Smith Draw.
Willie Spencer and Midget Smith of
New Orleans fought an eight-round
draw that was a hummer from start to
finish, while Al Wiltse and Terry
O'Connor. both Hartford boys, also
went eight stanzas to tie, In the
opening bout Ted Lewis of the Capital
City won handily over Young Fissi of
New Orleans.
AS a fight the main bout between
Leonard and Britt was hasco AS a
chance to see Leonard in action and
give his admirers in this section their
first opportunity of witnessing him n
a rng. the match was a success. Leon
ard showed plenty of his wares and
particularly his marvellous footwork,
making it apparent that it would be an
easy matter for him to finish the lad
from the Whaling City at any moment
in the bout. Referee George Mulligan
of Waterbury is to be commended for
his action in putting stop to the farce
in the fifth round, for Britt was helpless
before the rights and let's that Leon
ard was shooting at him from all sides,
and in the fourth and fifth rounds was
unable to lay a glove upon the cham
pion.
Rain Throws a Scare.
1t looked for short time as if the
card might be called off in the middle
of the program, as rain began to fall
slightly during the end of the Wi1ste-
O'Connor bout and there was hurried
change in the lineup the main bout be-
ing put on third, to try, and beat out
the rain. However, it was only slight
sprinkle and let up in short WHILE
but it wet the canvass enough to make
Leonard wary in his work, and forced
him to be careful in extending himself
in his fast footwork.
Britt did all the scoring in the first
round, Leonard being content to keep
himself out of the danger zone, allow
ing the New Bedford fighter to occas-
iona11y reach left to his face, and land
inside In the second Leonard began
to step around bit, and there was less
hitting, while in the third and fourth
the New Yorker displayed his wonder
full agility on his feet, bounding all
over the ring, sleaping in the air, and
spearing Britt from every angle
Leonard Starts Business.
With the start of the fifth Leonard
went at the business of putting his
punches home to Britt's body and face,
and he gave him succession of punch
es for two minutes that drove the New
Bedford boy around the ring, and finally
put him against the ropes with his hands
helpless at his sides. At no time, how
ever, did Leonard make any effort to
put over his famous right hand knock
out, holding back the steam in this sock
every time he crossed the right Referee
George Mulligan stepped in at this point
and stopped the bout, waving Britt to
his corner
A large delegation of New Haven
fans took in the bouts, and the con-
census of opinion was that Leonard is
unbeatable in his class.

The Rambler-Tiger team seemed
rather lost on the field. Two of the
Williams scores came as the result of
blocked kicks, one behind their own goal
line and the other on their 20-yard line.
The Williams ends, especially Shaffnet,
outplayed their opponents while the

Chief Bender pitched a nice game

Joe Dugan, Cy Perkins and Chick

Manager Higgins of the Yanks pre-

the exception of Ruth. All of the
Yanks were given big ovation as they
stepped to the plate in the opening
innings and they played throughout the
game with real sincereness to win. \

We BASEBALL FANS
LIST TO THIS!

Eorty-fve hundred people, the largest
number ever to attend baseball game
in Willimantic, saw Manchester triumph
over Willimantic in the third and decid-
ing game of the series, last Sunday aft
errloon at Recreation Park, to 2. The
transforming Boston Braves were well
represented in the game. Walter Scott
pitching for the Silk Town, outfit, was
in fine form, using a fast breaking curve
that the locals could do little with, VIII
limantic getting but four runners on the
paths with three singles and one pass.
In the last five innings the home team
failed to get man away from the
plate. Johnny Cooney and Hank GoWdy,
Boston Brave battery, 1abored for
Willimantic Cooney pitched well but
in the second and sixth innings Man
chester connected for five of their six
drives, netting them the necessary for
choice.
Close to 600 Manchester people were
on hand to witness the game. They
held forth on the first base b1eachers.
Rockville sent down over 400 who
rooted" while the roofing was good,
for Willimantic. Just before the game
a Rockville delegation paraded the base
ball diamond leading goat which,
they announced, was Manchester's, cap
tured Saturday. Inc Loom lily rams
were located in the grandstand. The
Manchester betting fraternity went the
limit in backing their team and returned
to the Silk Town with about $1,000, of
which about one-half was shaken
from Rockville fans. 1t is doubtful who
felt worse over Manchester winning the
game, Willimantic or Rockville. There
was plenty of evidence at the game to
show that Rockville and Manchester do
not hitch over baseball:

ONE. WAY TO CURE
ILLS OF BASEBALL

Federal control or state control is
not the best remedy for the ills of
baseball, and John A Heydler, president
of the National elague, hardly had this
in mind when he suggested controlling
body apart from baseball itself The
answer, it seems, is not so hard to find
The National Commission should be
made up of one representative of each
of the two major leagues, one repre-
sentative of the minor leagues, one rep
resentative of the players and chair

SO big and so experienced in the affairs
of the world that his integrity will be

ing must be complete and thorough.

YANKEES SHUT OUT
new HAVEN STARS

The New York Yankees shut out the
augmented New HAVEN club at Weiss
Park last Sunday afternoon, 80. The
game marked the finals of the baseball
season at the popular Hamden park
and large crowd appeared thoroughly
satisfied with the fine ca1ibre of the
closing attraction. Owner Weiss of the
New Haven club sprang real pleasant
surprise on the fans by having Frank
Bancroft, the dazzling infeld brilliant
of the New York Giants and Ross
Young, the smuggling outhelder of the
McGrawmen in the lineup.
The playing of Young in the outfe1d
for the locals was amazing. The Giant

LOYAL PLAYERS REWARDED
BY WHITE SOX OWNER

Charles A Comiskey, owner of the
Chicago White Sox, has sent checks for
81 500 each to the 10 members of last
years team who were not involved in
the baseball scandal Letters accom-
panying the checks said the money was
sent to reimburse the players for the
amount they lost when the White Sox
failed to win the 1919 worlds series.
"As one of the honest ball players
of the Chicago White Sox of 1919 I
feel that you are deprived of the win
ners' share of the worlds series receipts
through no faults of yours" Comis-
keys letters to the players said. 81 do
not intend that yen, as an honest ball
player, should be penalized for your
honesty or by reason of the dishonesty
of others, and therefore take pleasure in
handing you ST 500, being the difference
between the winners end and the losers
share"

cleanup man in the batting order and
best man on the club next to Ruth in

has had this offer under advisement for
several months, and a day or two ago
decided definitely to accept it and sign
ed his contract. The Yankees will have
hard time filling his place. He never
played better ball than this year. Last
Sunday Pratt's playing was revelation
to the fans, both at bat and in the field.

Mike O'Dowd of ST. Paul, eS-mid-

given the decision over Frank Carbone
of New York in a 12-round bout at

have given. Carbone was no match for

SOME BIG JOCKEY FEES.

Speaking of the riding fee of $1,000
which Mr. Riddle has promised Car
ence Hummer, who will have the mount
on Man o. War when he meets Sir
Barton in their special race for purse
of 5000 on October IL, Jack Joiner
recalled bigger one in which he was
interested. Two weeks before he
saddled Hamburg Belle for the Futurity
of 1908 Archie thinner demanded and
received from Sydney Paget $4,000 in
cash for the services of Grover Cleye-
land Fuller, with the promise of $500
more if the FLY won. As many race
goers remember, Hamburg Belle did
win, and Fuller, great rider in his day,
earned his fee. John E. Madden, mas
ter of Hamburg Place, then told of pay
ing Winnie O'Connor Sc 500 for win
ming the Futurity of 1901 with Yankee.
Big riding fees were not an exception
in those days.
