Foul Play Indicated.


Wounds about the mans head
indicated that he was the victim
Of foul play. The skull OF the
mans head Ia apparently frao-
tured and three scars appear on
the right side and back Of the
head. Skin on the left side Of the
face and head Is bruised and
laeerated.
That the body had been In the
river about thirty days war the
belief expressed by A. Sidney
Hancock, deputy sheriff, who
was one OF the first officers to
visit the place where the man
was found.
Evidence Found.
Thirty days ago Deputy Han
cock Investigated a clue that In
dicatcd murder, but was unable
to uncover any conclusive evil
dence Of foul play. A set Of false
teeth was found near the bridge
and much of the ground was
blood-staned. Mr.. Hancock be-
ieves that the man was mur-
dered on this spot and that his
body was thrown into the river
by the assallants.
The body Of the man found
this afternoon had no teeth. He
was white man, about 80 years
Of age, was about five feet and
seven inches tall, was wearing
knit sweater, a white cotton
shirt and a pair Of khaki trous-
ers. He was bald-headed.
It Is possible, but not probable,
that the man was killed while
riding the blinds Of Frisco pas
senger train, Deputy Sheriff
Hancock declared this afternoon.
The location of the false teeth
and the blood puddles near the
Frisco bridge does not In any
way support this theory, he de-
clared.
The investigation Is being con-
tInued this afternoon and every
effort Is being made to Identify
the man.

Brooklyn Bantans
Meet in Open-Air
Bout ait Ridgewood

After three futile attempts the
Walker Sporting Club will endeavor
again tonight TO launch it's series Of
open air bouts in Ivanhoe Park, Ridge
wood. Hughey Breslin and Charlie
Goodman, two of the best little men
in Brooklyn, will clash in the twelve
round final, and the incentive to the
winner will be battle with former
Bantamweight Champion Pete Herman
on June or 10.
Bushey Graham and Freddie Reese,
Greenpoint lightweights, will battle on
winner-take-all basis in the semi
final of ten rounds. Sailor Tommy
Thompson and Jack Holland will meet
in another ten-rounder and the prize
for this affair will be bout with
Tommy Gibbons, the st. Paul heavy
weight. Thompson claims thirty-six
knockout victories in sixty-four starts.
While the open air entertainment
will be the only fistic attraction in
the city or it's envirors tonight, pugil-
ism will be rampant tomorrow night,
when no less than six attractive pro-
grams will be offered.

Fisher Reaches
Final I'm Harlem
Tennis Tourney
Staten Island Player Puts
Out Keresey by To- 8.
6-2: Hanlmett Advances
By Fred Hawthorne

Kenneth D. Fisher, of Staten Island,
gained the final round Of the Harlem
Tennis Clubs annual open singles
tournament yesterday afternoon by de-
featfng II. D. Keresey, at i0-s, s-2, IN
the semi-fnal round. On Sunday, at 8
p. M, Fisher will meet the winner Of
to-day's match between Allen Behr and
Alfred D. Hammett.
Hammett earned his semi-final bracket
in the upper half by defeating f. y.
Powers, at Cd, 6-1, in the fifth
round. Hammett and Behr meet at 5
o'clock this afternoon, and there will
be no play tomorrow, in order not TO
conflict with the final round doubtless
match at the University Heights Tennis
Club courts, between Leonard Beekman
and Walter Merrill Hall and Fred An
derson and Ben Letson.
Fisher was enjoying a rare driving
streak yesterday, getting splendid
depth and pace on his fore-hand shots
and placing the ball so close to the side
lines that Keresey often found himself
clearly passed in the first set, when he
rushed the net. The result was that in
the second set Keresey decided to stay
close to his own base line. Fisher,
however, was far superior on his
ground strokes, and he did not hesitate
to close in at the net position as he
came in behind his powerful forcing
shots.
Keresey. after holding his tall oppo-
