 Frankie McGowan was the Candy Kid last Sunday. The little gardener is very popular with players and fans.
 Johnny Nagel is still blocking them at the plate and should be good and hard for the coming football season
 Big Dave" Fitzgerald chaperoned a live party of local sports to the Pack City Monday night to see the Bogash- Britton bout.
 Max Golden, of the Williams, and Johnny Cahill, of the Glees, are buzzing among the football prospects for the fall opening, and it looks like old time rivalry renewed. .@a
 What has become of Tommy Shea eTanlac Charlie" Bergin, "Chic" Brown, "Dodo Maher, and the never-to-be- forgotten team of Kid Bunnion vs Wally Alteria?
 In George Sisters opinion the Chi cago White Sox are .up there" on top to stick The Chapman tragedy has settled the Indians and the Tanks, 1t is his belief. So far this is being borne out too.
 Arnold Statz, former Holy Cross star, playing center field forz.Los An geles, recently won game for the Angels with home run clout in the ninth inning. It was the only run of the game.
 Frank Herbst the big heaver with Waterbury last season and now with league, has been recalled by the Pirates. He will rejoin them at the end of the season in the minors.

 Ted" Lewis, the pugi1ist, was among the passengers who arrived on the Ho1- land-America steamship Rotterdam. Lewis, who won several fights abroad, said he would like to fight Jack Brit ton or Benny Leonard before he re- turns to Europe in November.
 
 The batting king of the International league is none other than Merwin Jac- obson, the New Britain 1eaguer, who is hitting for the handsome mark of .3oo. "Snooi1s" Dowd of Springfield leads in stolen bases with 51 His closest rival is Keating, teammate, who has pill fered 37.
 That the Baltimore Internationals have band of maulers Is evidenced by the fact that as team it is hitting for .307. The Orioles are one pointahead of %14~r ,%e ahead of Reading Hitting appears to be the long suit of the International league clubs.
 The Giants have exercised their recall option on "Chick" Bowen, the New Ha- ven youngster, who is playing center field and second base for the Rochester Nationals McGraw holds Bowen highly and, with the experience of a full season in the International league, he may horn in with the Giants next season.
 Rocky Kansas of Buffalo shaded George Clancy of Baltimore and was awarded the decision after 12 of the greatest rounds of fighting ever seen in Baltimore, Monday night. In the third round Clancy landed 50 blows on INdItodS SIOLtdCll dil0 HCduCQ for victory but Rocky came back in the next round and took the lead and held t for several rounds. In the 18th round Clancy made whir1wind finish raining blow after blow on the face and body. There was not an idle mo- ment in the battle and both were badly punished.
 Tn their scheduled 12-round bout at Bridgeport, Monday night, Lou Bogash and Jack Britton, welterweight cham pion of the world, struggled through the fray to draw decision handed down by Referee Harry Stout of Mil waukee. Britton easily had the better of Bogash but slowed up to make the New England man look like likely opponent so the possibility of a return match would be alluring In the eyes of impartial spectators, Bogash never had chance with teh champ but to the biased view of the Bridgeport fans Louis was wonder.
 Britton evidenly will have soft pick
