RECOGNITION OF
CLUNE'S ABILITY
Picture of Former Brattleboro Boy
With Story Published i'll Spring
field Sunday Union.

On the sporting page of the Spring
field Sunday Union was a picture of
John j. Clune of Springfield, formerly
of Brattleboro, with the following state
mcnt of his record as athletic manager
of the Home City council, Knights of
Columbus:
John J. Clune, known by everyone as
Smiling Jack who has handled the ath-
letic teams of Home City council,
Knights OF Columbus, with great sue
cess, brought to the position consider
able experience gained in many lines of
sport.
Back in the days when Jack was a
yomgstcr, and that isn't as long ago as
some would suppose, he was a regular
whiz on the baseball field, so much so
that he was the most eagerly sought per
former around Brattleboro, which was
then his home. He was member of the
Brattleboro Athletics which won the
championship OF the Millers River league.
Clune's work in this league attracted the
attention of outside managers and
brought him an offer to play with SYRIA
cuse of the old New York state league.
but Clune couldn't arrange his business
interests in Brattleboro to take on the
league offer so stuck to semipro ball
around his home town
"Clune won the track championship of
Central Vermont with % out of posi-
bic 40 points and at this time set up a
mark for the broad jump which has since
withstOod competition. In basketball
Jack played with Keene and Springfield
VT, and saw service with New York
/ state league teams. He was for two
years manager of Fritz Hanson, when
the latter was welterweight champion
/ wrestler of the United States. He was
one of the few men given permission to
conduct boxing bouts in Vermont, where
he put on shows which brought Al De
mont, Joe Azavedo and other well known
mitt artists to the north country All il
all, Jack is pretty versatile chap in an
athletic way and success is following him
in his managerial activities commensu
rate with his success in competition"
