CHIEF BENDER IN NEW HAVEN
 ID SEE WEISS

New Haven, Jan. 6-Chief Bender the famous Indian twirler, who has been mentioned as the next manager of the local baseball team, was in town last night. After dinner at the Taft, Bender, in company with George Weiss, owner of the local club at tended the boxing bouts at Music Hall. Weiss stated last night that the Chiefs visit was purely one of pleasure, but adnitte that there was a possibility of the men talking base ball business before Bender's depar- ture.
 It has been said before, that the local magnate will have to talk ex1 ce2 2tionally high, as far as figures are concerned, to land Bender as pilot Of the local team, but the fans can rest assured that Weiss is will
 10 do that very thing. Bender is extremely popular in Richmond. Va, where he managed the team re- presenting that town last season
 They have offered him some mighty attractive inducem ents to return there again this season, but it is ru- mored that Weiss will attempt to out bid the Southern city. If he does land the former star of the Athletics, 1t will mean that New Haven will be provided with one of the brainiest men in baseball today as manager for the coming season.

DURANT FIRST
 ENTRY IN BIG MOTOR CONTEST

Indianapolis, Jan. 6.-Clifford Dur amt, millionaire son of W. c. Durant, head of the General Motors Com pany, registered the first entry for the Eighth International 50O-mile Sweepstakes race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Monday, May 31st.
 Durant wired his entry from Cali fornia, where, in the Chevrolet fac tory at Oakland, a special 1S3-cubic inch flier is being built to the new specifications of the Hoosier contest.
 Durant was also the first to enter the race last year, showing a decided partiality for the coveted No. posi- tion on the entry list. Like all knights of the wheel, Durant has his pet su- perstition, his particular brand being No. carries luck for him.
 Durant is the direct descendant of a generation of millionaire racing en-
 thusiasts that formerly boasted such illustrious names as Caleb Bragg, Er-
 win BergdoIl, Art Greiner, and the
 late David Bruce-Brown and Spencer Wishart.
 He loves to drive racing cars, not for the financial reward, but for the thrill and glory of a victory well won- A millionaire in his own right many times over, by virtue Of his nOlO1ngS III the CheVrOleC Motor Car Company of California, of which he is e-president, he risks the dangers of the speed sport and jeopardizes his millions for the sake of the in- tense stimulus of high speed compe- tition.
 Durant has figured prominently ir the gasoline scented sport for several years, bearing the title of Pacific Coast champion by virtue of his vic. tories in the 1918 Montamarathon and Potlatch contests, at Tacoma and his sweeping triumph in the 1918 | Santa Monica road race, which he | won at the highest speed ever re. 1 corded for that event, SIPS M. P. H In all his speed encounters, Duran
 has been characterized by an absolute 1 fearlessness and a display of reckles. ! daring that borders on the verge o 1 foolhardiness. From the time ths
 starters bomb explodes, his foot i! heavy on the throttle, with no let-ur | until he either wins or his iron steec | goes to pieces under the strain. i In the last Indianapolis engage | ment, he was well up among the | leaders until at the 150-mile post hi
 steering gear gave way and he wa: 1 forced to retire. He was deep1, l chagrined at this loss of opportunit, l to duplicate in the East the racin:
 triumphs he had already garnered il
 the West, and immediately upon hi 1 return to the coast began prepara
 tions for the coming Hoosier contest

Johnny Dundee believes in omens. And Johnny in a letter to friend relates of an augury which, he claims, presages 8, decisive victory over Benny Leonard when the two meet for the lightweight champion ship at New Haven on the 16th. Here is what Johnny has to say about the portent which forecasts such good things for him on the 18th:
 ''The shadow of Young Corbett 5ances on the wall of my gym while
 train. Corbett was the last man
 challenge for the lightweight title
 n Connecticut. You remember what
 e did to Terry McGovern. I'll do he same to Leonard"
 Fighters as a. rule are a supersti-
 tious lot And it is surprising how
 many times their weird prognostica-
 tions of victory or defeat have come
 to pass.
 For instance James J. Jeffries
 when he wrested the title from Rob ert F'itzsimmons at Coney Island went into quarters at Allenhurst, N.
 J. Big Jeff occupied the same cot tage which sheltered Jim Corbett when he prepared for his successful engagement with John L. Sullivan at New Orleans.
 JeH regarded the Iacl as d luchS omen and so it proved to be when
 Freckled Bob lost his title to the youthful Californian after eleven vicious rounds of fighting. After that Jeffries insisted on training in the
 same cottage for his eastern engage | ments with Sharkey and Corbett both of whom he vanquished. Dundee's relationship with the al conquering omen isn't quite as inti- mate as was that of Jeffries. Dundee | isn't occupying Young Corbett's olG ! quarters in Connecticut when he trained for McGovern eighteen year: ago. Therefore the omen he speak: | of appears to be of the homemade variety. But deriving a lot of solace ! out of the fact that Young Corbett l the last challenger for the title in z l Connecticut ring, knocked ''Terriole l Terry McGovern galley-west in twc l whirlwfnd rounds.

Say Attack o1l New
 Haven Bout Started By Personal Feeling

New Haven Is in readiness for the rzO-round boxing bout between world's Champion, Benny Leonard and Joknny Dundee which takes place at the Arena, January 16th- To offset the rumors of objection to the
 staging of the contest, Police Chief Smith states that he knows of no
 reason why the show should be can
 celled as the Riverside A. c. officials
 have lived up to all rules and regula- : tions he requested. The chief has
 carefully examined the boxers con-
 tracts and investigated all details in
 the arrangement of the bout which !. he declares are in keeping with the
 regulations that have for long time
 governed boxing in New Haven. Mayor David B. Fitzgerald, when asked concerning the reported objec- lions to staging the Leonard-Dundee !, bout, said that he places utmost con- 1 hdence in Chief Smith and knows : everything the chief sanctions is within the law, therefore he has nc l reason to interest himself in the com ing show. There's mo reason Io l worry about the bout" is the way l Mayor Fitzgerald put it
 It is claimed by the officials of the i Riverside 4. C. that the campaigr , against the bout conducted by a. New i Haven paper Is purely an attack or l Police Chief Smith at the expense 0. . the promoters and the public at larg, 1 interested in the attraction. Mucf criticism over the attack is heard II New Haven as it seems New HaveI
 city officials, business and profes : efona1 men and all others are anxiou i for the bout and the success of tn, szmh.

RING
 PERFORMER IS
 CLEVER BOXER

Denzio Cabene1a, otherwise known as Kid Denzio. champion of the Phil lipine Islands, Is about to invade the United States in search of the feath- CT and lightweight championships. He is expected to arrive in San Fran cisco some time in February, in charge of Joe Waterman, a boxing promoter from the Islands.
 Denzio, it is said. promises to be a sensation in the American rings. He is said to be a pretty fair sort of boxer and packs a wallop that is something akin to the kick of a mule. The island warrior is typical of his race. He Is short but stockily built, and has great endurance. AL though he weighs only 125 pounds at his best weight he has 27 inch neck. Also, according to reports, Denzio> has a concrete jaw.
 The boy has cleaned up every thing in the islands, and believes that after he becomes fully acclimated he will be able to win the American featherweight title. If Kilbane will not fight him, then Denzio will camp on the trail of Benny Leon ard, but will insist that the present title holder make 133 peounds at the 1 ringsfde mething which Benny may not be able to do. and keep both l his rather essential 1exa

K. OF c. FANS KIDDING DEWITT BECAUSE HE
 DIDN'T FINISH MATCH

Whats the matter with Hugh "Buck'' Dewitt, the self admitted crack at that we'll known indoor sport pocket billiards.
 For the past year Dewitt has held the title of pocket billiard champion at the Knights of Columbus club, at least his claim to the laure1s was undisputed until Robert Foley of the same club challenged him to a block of 500 points. the winner to possess the crown.
 'Buck'' readily agreed to the game believing that Foley would furnish no opposition whatsoever. Foley proved stronger than Dewitt thought and was leading him by 75 points when Dewitt failed to show up for the deciding match. Both Foley and the fans have waited some time thinking that Dewitt after a little practice somewheres else would come back and finish it, but both have been badly disappointed and it looks as though Dewitt has relinquished his crown a la Willard.

McNULTY BEATS
 CHIC BROWN IN
 SLASHINC BOUT

New Haven, Jan. 6.-The fued is settled. All doubts as to whether Chic Brown or Jack McNulty is the better man were set aside last night at the Music Hall. McNuIty won, the story is short and sweet for him, but that is about all there is to 1t. From
 the very start of the bout 1t was ap- parent the 'fHilP' favorite was mas ter of the situation, and not once dur ing the bout did Brown look like anything resembling his former self. There was a time when Chic was considered the idol of the New Ea- ven fight fans but no more does he occupy the coveted seat. He was de- throned last night to the queens taste, and it goes without saying that Chic will be seen from now on in the role of Q semi-final, if even that.
 Chic lost a lot of prestige last night and comments were heard on sides to the effect that he is through. Of course this may not be the case, but it looks a great deal like it. In the review of the downfall of Brown, don't let the sterling performance of
 McNulty pass without more than ord mary notice. He was there, forty ; different ways, as the saying goes, and | he hit Brown with everything but the
 water pail, so to speak.
 Most effective of all his efforts was 1 the continual use of a snappy left i jab, the most essential weapon which 1 any boxer possesses. Let it be re- membered that he used it, and Chic! | he didn't know what it was all about | All he could see up in front of his
 face was that unavoidable object 1 which proved to be the glove attached 1 to the faithful hand of McNulty. Ii | I Chic didn't have a. thing that looked like 8 guard for it. He just took it and by taking it lost all judgement l of distance, his swings going wild or
 almost every attempt
 If Brown had put that side-arm
 swing Of his into the discard and
 landed some straight from the shoul- der he would have accomplished 8 great deal more He showed a de-
 cided reversal in form from that which he displayed in the bout at the
 Arena with Battling Repka- It looked
 at that time as though Repka took O. flop, and this bird, Anglo, in Nor walk, must have been soft picking
 Chick knocked them both out, and either they were no good or else
 Chick was decidedly better than he
 was last night. It looks like the swar
 song for Chick.
 In the seIni-final, Mickey Travers
 handed Paddy McCur a pasting fol leight rounds The dusky-hued lac
 proved to be a target for everything Mickey pushed his way, and the Itd' Italian wen by a wide margin. Th'
 bout between Jackie Sullivan of thi
 city and Bud Weifer of South Nor ) walk was cancelled at the last minute Sullivan claimed Weifer was too biz l for him, or something along that line but failed to notify the promoters un til just before fight time. The man agement got busy immediately ant f signed up Bill Reynolds to go ol , against Weifer, and the bout turne' out to be the best of the evening $ Weifer got the decision, but he had t : step some to do it.

Lefty Williams, Star of White Sox, Works
 In Boiler Factory

Lefy Williams. the sturdy southpaw of the White Sox, is not loafing this winter despite the fact that he is am- ply supplied with funds as a result of his participation in the worlds series. Lefty, who sought and ob- tained work in the boiler shop of a Wilmington. Del, shipyard when the work or fight order was applied to ball players in 1918. went. back to the boiler shop at the close of the world series and still is busy swinging a s1edge. The Chicago southpaw de- clares that four or five months of hard work is an excellent tonic for 8 ball player, and he expects to be in first class trim when he reports to the Sox camp in the spring.
