MIG CLARK FORGOT
 TO COVER BLACK BALL

Augusta, Ga, March 25.-Justin Clarke was nicknamed Mig" i'll his youth, probably because he turns dark in the summer. Mig has already com menced to tan, and the color extends far up on territory where in his youth full days Clarke boasted a heavy crop of hair.
 Last year when I was playing with Pittsburgh Clarke told a group of players, T was tanned like a piece of sole leather. My head and face were the same color and when 1 threw off my cap and mask to chase after high fouls the sun would dazzle the fans in the upper deck.
 One hot day last summer I tore after foul back near the stand. There wasn't a sound to be heard until some fellow with big deep voice leaned over the upper railing and shouted at me through a megaphone: Hey, Mig, you better cover that eight ball"

KING AND QUEEN SEE CARPENTER REPRODUCE
 LEVINSKY KNOCKOUT

Liverpool, March 25-King George, Queen Mary, the Prince of Wales, Hugh C. Wallace, American ambassador to France, and other distinguished guests of the Earl of Derby were last Friday night given reproduction of the later rounds of the Carpentier-Battllng Levinsky boxing contest, which was fought in Jersey City last October. Car pentier appeared with Lenaris, his Bel gian sparring partner, at Knowsley Hall, near here, where the Earl of Derby IS entertaining a house party for a few days.
 The two men entered 16-foot ring and boxed two rounds, and then they reproduced the Levinsky fight, Lenarls being knocked out with a smashing blow to the jaw. Later King George and Queen Mary shook hands with Car pentier and the king wished him good luck in his coming fight for the worlds with Jack Dempsey.

Mike O'Dowd
 Has Jinx in
 Johnny Wilson

Champion Johnny Wilson is not the greatest middleweight the world has ever seen, but he proved fairly conclusively in his last bout that he is the master of Mike O'Dowd, former champion. Until they met in their 15-rOund championship bout there had been some doubt as to whether Wilson was superior to ODOWd. The latter, following the loss of his title in Boston almost year ago, claimed that the verdict of he referee had not been correct. And there were some who were inclined to heed his contention But all doubt was dispelled when Wilson gave him quite an artistic trimming i'll their return engagement
 Some there are who claim that O'Dowd should have been given the yer dict because he forced the fighting throughout. They are prone to overlook the fact. however, that Wilson was fighting just the sort of battle that would beat O'Dowd. He let the Irishman come to him and then just jabbed him with his extended right hand or ripped his left into O'Dowd's body. If O'Dowd had not done the forcing there is the likelihood that Wilson would have fought differently He might have been more aggressive, but since O'DoWd kept continually crOWding him there was no good reason why Wilson should have fought any differently than he did.
 It has also been claimed that Wilson was guilty of fouling his opponent. It may be that the champion struck ODoWd low once or twice, but certain 1t IS that the blows were not intentional. When man is continually fighting for his op- pOnent's body, as was Wilson, there IS grave danger that some ot the blows may land little low, due to the changing position of his adversary, but to believe that Wilson was intentionally fOullng O'Dowd is absurd on the face of 1t. He could have lost his title just as easily via a foul as he could have had he been knocked out or outpointed.

Columbus, Ohio, March 25.-"Chic" Harley may have to share his honors as the only Ohio State athlete to win let ters in four varsity sports, for Uete Stinchcomb who last fall was accorded a place on Camps All-American, is on his trail.
 A four-sport man in his interscho- lastic days, Stinchcomb has concen- trated on varsity football this year. He is pretty certain to annex a basketball letter and plans to turn his attention to baseball and track this spring.

MICHIGAN HURLER DENIES PLAYING
 AS PROFESSIONAL

Ann Arbor, Mich. March 25.-Ver- non L. Parks, captain and star pitcher of the Michigan baseball team, de clares there is no truth in reports that he had played professional baseball on the Pacific Coast last summer.
 Athletic officials here refused to com ment on the case further than to say that if the charges were proved Parks would, of course, be declared ineligible for further intercollegiate competition.
 If Parks is lost to the squad Michi- gan will have but one veteran pitcher left, Ed. Ruzicka, and hopes for Big Ten diamond title will be small.

 BATTLE FROM HARTFORD

The Hartford Kaceys were handed big surprise lats Friday night in Music the Capital City visitors by g to IS score. Confidence beamed from the up staters before the game and although the Green and White tossers ruled the favorites in the betting category, 1t could be easily seen that the locals were up against a stiff proposition.
 The game started off with bang, Tim Cronin caging a brilliant goal from the field with one pass. The first half was nip and tuck and at the end the Hartford outfit was leading by 9 to score. However, the locals came back strong immediately after the opening of tic second period and moved the opposition down with their speed and daring

Ethelbert O'Hara Says.

When the Commercial High School team was introduced at the Arena the Waterbury contingent yelled: What about Crosby?" You tell 'e1n, New Ha- ven High.
 They still think that Crosby is the real class among high school teams, so 1t looks as if we will have to sic the Com mercial boys after them. It really would be a good thing to give them chance to see what real team looks like.
 Jason Wright, the pilot of the Ansonia team, was in to see the game and claims that he can pick up a team in his burg that will beat both teams, one after an- other He refuses to take either team seriously.
 After the game some of the followers of the Kaceys started talking football, and from the conversation 1t seems that Dutch Forst Is leading i'll the unpopu- larity class in the Brass City. They can't seem to understand why "Art" was such a sensation here and couldn't gain an inch for the A1l-Waterburys.
