Bennett Iakes Eccentric
 Red" Allen Under Wi7aQ

When Johnny Red" Allen gets into the ring at the State street Arena, next Monday night, to box Sailor Johnny Darcey, Johnny Red" Ben ing Conductor" will be in the corner of the East Side boy. With the "steenth manager to his string Allen says he is going to settle down in the boxing game on business lines and expects. to get some of the money in sight from now on. Allen is rated as one of the best Hghtweights in oIIis section and there seems to be no reason why he shouldn't be success ful.
 It's an old story about Allen having scraps with his managers, and the fight fans are getting mighty tired of hearing it. Aliens claims and eX- cuses for the numerous breaks with his managers, were chiefly assertions that his business agents were getting all of the dough, or nearly the bulk
 of fight proceeds. Johnny Bennett
 is highly regarded in local boxing cir cIes, and if Allen cannot get along under his wing it will be no fault of
 Bennetts. is the belief of ring fans. Bennett is also the manager of Billy Prince and Pete Dunn.
 Allen is shaping himself for his bout with Darcey in the Columbia A. c. gymnasium. "Red" is telling his | friends that he never felt better, at the same time expressing the confi- dence that he will win the verdict | over Darcy.
 | Mat hmaller George Dwyer of the
 Bridgeport A. & A, announced this morning that Harvey Kelly and Kid 1 Lewis (Jim Bones) have been signed as substitutes for the Patsy Bogash- | Mickey Dance go, which was called off owing to Dances illness. Kelly | and Bones were matched a month or so ago, but the bout was called off
 owing to an injury sustained by the i former. Kelly has been boXlnS around here for several years and should prove to be the toughest op- | ponent yet faced by Lewis. | Dwyer attempted to put on another
 scrap between Billy Prince and liar ry Peterson, but the latter refused
 to box Prince here, claiming that he
 is matched to fight Prince in the star
 bout of show at Norwalk in two 1 weeks.

while left field is all to the mustard with Kane of Hartford who, when not playing in the outfeld, could alternate Tn the lnfield- He is a dangerous 300 hitter and a fast fielder; in cen ter field, King of Worcester, is easily picked-not only for his heavy hitting but wonderful fielding, while in right field no one but our own "Howie'' Baker of PittSheld, deserves the lau- rels as he is a heavy sticker, and he Wilder of Springfield, has it all his own way, not only for his heavy hit ting but also his heady backstopping consider Tyler of Waterbury, the runner-up, with Wilson of New Ha- ven, also a favorite.
 As for my pitchers, I pick four righthanders and three southpaws Leasure of Bridgeport, proves to be the home teams best bet, allowing something like five or six hits per game, while Woodward of New Ha- ven, is also a good bet, he formerly being with the St. Louis Americans. Cox of Albany, is one who would be team; Pennington of Hartford, got off to a bad start, but is now coming along; Bennett of Worcester, is show ing the way by his superb boX-work while Best of Pittsfield, gets second choice not only for his classy pitch ing, but his hitting powers. LePard seems to be as good as there is in the league, but he seems to lose games, because his team mates fail to hit behind him.
 twill you kindly put this in type as jt took me quite a while to study it up. I think this team could beat the Baltimore Internationals-"
