HITTING FEM ON A LINE
By MaStersoH

The fact has recently been made public that Pete Herman, bantam weight champion of the world, has been blind in one eye since 1917. An operation has recently restored his vision. Herman did considerable fighting since he lost the sight of his eye, but managed to hold his own and then sone-n standing. He skil1ful1y concealed the fact that his eye was N. G., for he realized that if his opponents knew of this fact that they would have had him at a. very great disadvantage.
 It takes a mighty game man-and a good f1ghter-to be able to hold his own in the ring with one eye totally unfit for use. All the credit in the world belongs to Pete Herman
 Spea king about e1ibis, Eddie Rousch of the Cincinnati Reds, pulled an against the Giants Eddie neglected to make a respectable attempt to get certain high one which developed into a, home run as the result.
 "Huh,'' said Eddie. "I didn't both CT chasing it because the game was lost anyway, and if I ran after it I'd have worn out my legs for the next days game.''
 The suggestion is in order that the Cincinnati management provide MT Rousch with bicycle.

Tennis sharps are prophesying that this is to be the year of years for Big Bil1'' TiIden
 When cushions are whirled sky ward in admiration of the victor.s
 proWess--courtdonl'S characteristic
 manifestation of acclaim at Forest
 Hills; Bill Tilden, 'tis predicted, will
 be the man of the hour.
 Tilden has served his "runner-up''
 apprenticeship and is due for the su-
 preme court honor next month. For the last two years despite his brilliant performances he has dropped just short of the title. Two years how ever, isn't such a long term of disap-
 polntment even for a player of Ti1d- ems outstanding ability.
 William A. Larned, one of our
 greatest, struggled nine years before
 attaining the peak. Four years in
 succession heahad to be content with
 runner-up" glory only. The two
 years previous to his winning the title
 Tn 1901 Larned was ranked third.
 Ihen he won the palm three seasons
 in succession, dropped the followins
 three years, and then usurped the
 court sovereignty for five successive
 seasons. Mclaughlin, the incompar- aole Comet" now blazed out to all appearances. entered the first ten'' circle in 1909 in the sixth niche. He served two seasons in the wake of the pace-maker and then took the lead in 1912. His reign ended in l314-a king for three years; an "ap-
 prentice a similar period.
 Billy Johnstons rise to fame was quicker. Two years of subordina tiop to the ability of others and he as. cended to the pinnacle. In 1913 he finished fourth, the following seasor sixth thence to the 'runner-up' role asaln m 1916, hitch of patriotic l service, in IT and Is and back to the title again last year.
 So it can be seen that Tilden's oelay Tn not coming to the fore is not an unusual case. Notwithstand ing the fact that Ti1uen has beer l playing tennis since boyhood, it was i only in the last three years that he obtained real recognition. He is now twenty-nine and at the zenith of his power. His game has been conpIetel1 ] developed. He awaits only the fay i bring nod of Dame Fortune to DOS. l sess the laurels which his play r1cn,x merits.
 Tilden's winning of the EnglisI 1 championship at Wimbledon stamps him as one of the supreme racoue,
 wielders of all time When he down. | ed Gerald Patterson, the British title
 holder recently, Tilden became fr | the minds of many the undispute6 worlds champion, Tilden's presen standing is therefore most curious 1 for Johnston has always mastered 1 him in title play.

BOGASH ABOUT READY
 TO SCORE ON BRITTON
Worlds Champion Welter Arrives Monday to Show Bridgeport Followers of Ring Sport How Good Local Pride Really Is In Boxing-Prepares to Meet
 Youth With Plenty of Action

Jack Britton, champion welter- weight of the world, who considered Louis Bogash,' contender for the title, as a poor runner up several months ago now respects the local boy with considerable pride and because of this the champion has been putting in some of his best licks for his scheduled battle with Bogash at the arena on Monday night. Daily ] training has been Britton's program and he has been going through a drill equal to one which would bring the worlds championship.
 The champion realizes he has aged in the period he has held the title and he also realizes that the Bridge port boy is young and full of en- | thusiasm which may force him to the limit of his powers. Bogash also ] realizes that he has the chance of i life time because he is to box 12 I rounds against the greatest man in the ring in his own class and the opportunity he has long been look ing for will be realized on Monday night.
 With all this in his favor Bogash | has done everything possible to be in i the finest of condition and when he steps into the ring on Monday night to face the champion of the world [ { and trained to the minute with the { expectation of winning
 Leading up to the feature bout of the night will be one ten round and two six round matches which have been arranged under the direction of George Dwyer. They are all well balanced and well matched so the fans will be given their money s worth. Battling Repka, the pride of Shelton, and Young Dyson, Ansonia' s favorite, will stage the semi-final of ten rounds. These Doys have been just waiting for some of the Connecti- cut clubs to give them chance They are the keenest of rivals and one of them will go home Monday night as the champion of the dis trict.
 Then there will be the struggle be- tween Joe Hall, the Bridgeport Bear cat, and Pat Conway, who is called "perpetual motion, and gives the fans an idea of what might be eX- pected in this setto. They are both full of action and are expected to show some merit in the contest on Monday night. Billy Prince, the 125 pound champion of this city, will
 meet John Farrell, the 125 pound champ of Long Island and this too Is expected to be a hummer of a go- All together the Bridgeport Athletic & Amusement company has prepared a fine bill.

 'fI could not conscientiously at tempt to make any trouble for MT. Mays" Johnson id "But it is my honest belief that MT. Mays will never pitch again. From what have heard he is greatly affected and may never be capable temperamentalIy of pitch ing again. Then I also know the feel ing against him to be so bitter among the members of other teams that it would be inadvisa1ble for him to pitch this year at any rate.''

 "He feels the outcome of it more deeply than most of us do,' he said. "The great American game of base ball does Ut develop men who would willingly try to iniure another par ticipant iii the game, and the game could not produce man capable of killing another man.
