August Draws
 In Fast Bout
By CHICK CREATION.

That Pete August is one of the most promising bays around these parts, was demonstrated at the Sixth District Republican Club smoker last night Although August met with some stiff opposition in the person of Danny MoNerney of Danbury, he exhibited great improvement over his last appearance here.
 A hard right hand waI1op was the chief weapon used by both boys, and it again was the case of who landed 1t first. For when it did land it meant damage to the recipient How ever, August managed to put that right hand sock over more often than McNerney, but the daw decision handed by Referee Terry Lee was fair to both. The probabilities are both boys may be rematched for Danbury in a couple of weeks Au- gust weighed 12s and McNerney tipped the beam at 126.
 Frankie White of Fairfield and Dempsey English of the Lenox A C., a couple of midd1eweights, s1ugged four interesting rounds to a draw in the somi-final. In the other bouts on the program, Young Donovan of the West End kayoed Kid Roberts of New Canaan in the first session, Kid Lee f1attened Art Knapp in the third canto, Eddie Casey of the Shamrock A. c. was awarded the verdict over Young Schontz of the North End, Johnny Walker of the Venice A. c. was handed the decision over Vince Christy of the IIenox, and Eddie Cos tello and Harold Johnson went four rounds to a. draw.

Do You Know
 That

Secretary Jimmy Kelly of the Bridgeport Baseball Club was nearly pinched yesterday. The some bleacherites who found their favorite seats taken up by an army of "kiddieS." who were the guests of President Clark Lane, Jr. They put up a stiff kick and asked Jimmy why in the heck the club didn't enlarge the bleachers. Jimmy was very their money and also donate ex- tra rain checks for an additional game They soon cooled off, however, when they realized it was ''Kiddies Day. and ad- journed to the grandstand. "Can't be beat,' calculated Jimmy.
 CLARK LANE JR. cultivated a terrible grouch after AIbany's whitewash of the Dcrbies. Mir. Lane was standing along side of his auto at Paradise Green around the midnight hour when a local fan passed by. The fan noticed MT. Lane was holding his chest out conspicuOus1y.
 "Til get him." unused the fan.
 Hello. MT. Lane, who won the game today?" the latter shouted.
 Awful. terrible replied MT. Lane as he shook his arms in the
 MT. Iane's chest shrunlx out of sight in a moment of tragedy.
 Bridgeport ball fans remember Pat Dougherty who twirIed here during the regime of the late Jim O'Rourke and who later bloS- Somed out as a star pitcher for the Red Sox, and who was one of the big guns in the memorable series between the Sox and Pi- rates for the championship. Dougherty, by the way, accord cal fans hypnotized by his won- derful work in the box here. The other day in a flaming bee MuSante rec0unted one of Dougherty's star featS in which tho latter famed twelve consec- utlVe batters in game with New Haven. when the illuStrious Jim my Canavan managed the Elm City outfit.
 It was through NIusante that Dougherty got S chance with Bridgeport. Dougherty landed here 'sbroIse'' and met Fritz in front of the old Musante fruit store on Fairfield avenue.
 ''Hey. Iaddie, is there a chance of getting on here with the Bridgeport ball club?'' was Dou@herty's Salutation to Fritz.
 DougheTty was a giant in size and Fritz, according to his rem iniscence, immediately picked him out as a live wire. At the time O'Rourl<e was in need of pitcher and MuSante being friendly with 'tJeems,' informed Dougherty he thought he could land him.
 ..But," interjected Fritz, "you know O'Rourke don't pay much money?"
 "I don't care, I'll play for the price of a meal and a place to sleep." replied Dougherty.
 MuSante immediately took steps to see ORourke and sue ceeded in landing Dougherty job, and the latter proved one of the biggest diamond sensations whoever wore a Bridgeport uni- form.
