FAIRFIELD TIGERS
 CLAW AVON TEAM

The Fairfield Tiger football eleven came back strong yesterday at Legion Field, and in a game rep1ete with thrilling plays, and yanquished the strong Avon team, 14-7. The Schick team flashed forth with a re- turn to the fighting spirit which has marked the play of the Fairfield teams of the last few years, after the Avons had tied the score in the sec ond half by a lucky plunge through the left guard for a touchdown and goal.
 Taking advantage of every opening the Tigers scored another touch down after four minutes of the final period quarter had elapsed. After that the locals played steady on the defensive, and held in check the hevay line plungmg of the visiting aggrega- ton.
 The Avon gang was even stronger than the Fairfield on the offensive. but their defense fell a little short of equalling that of the Tigers.
 The Fairfield team crashed it's way down the field for a touchdown early in the first period, F. Lezinsky push ing the leather over. Rields kicking the goal. The second being scored on a aerial attack

JOE LYNCH BACK
 IN RING HARNESS

Joe Lynch, Americas greatest ban tamweight and former bantamweight champion of the world, is back in ring harness again. After a few more battles, Joey will be ready to meet Carl Tremaine, Pete Herman, Johnny Buff and the other contend CTS.
 Lynch, who had been resting in the Maine woods. returned to the roped enclosure after a four months layoff Monday night. Joey weighing 122 pounds, and short a fight, lost the de- cisfon to Phil O'Dowd.
 Some of the New Yorkk writers are of the opinion that the decision was out of line, as Lynch had f1oored the Columbus entry for a nine count.
 It is no misnomer to call Lynch Americas greatest bantamwef ght drawing card. Joey drew over one quarter of a million dollars through the aurnstiles of New York boxing clubs in five bouts, two with Pete Herman and bouts with Sharkey, Goldstein and Jabez White.

BULLDOG GETTING
 READY FOR TIGER

New Haven Oct 3f-Aside from a cut finger of Ted Blair and minor bruises sustained by George Becket, no Yale football players suffered in juries in the Brown game. The splendid general condition of the Yale team will allow the coa aches to drive the players through perhaps the most strenuous practice week of the season. Tomorrow. Wednesday and Thursday extensive scrirnmag- ing is planned in preparation for the Princeton game on Nov. IF. .-.--.
 The coaches regard the guard po- sitions as the most uncertain, and while chances favor the retention of Crufkshank and Guernsey, it is pos sib1e that Cross and QuaiIe. who have been out of condition most of the season, will be reinstated. All four will get into part of the Princeton and Harvard games. ---~.

When the Bridgeport High school football eleven faces the Neyr York University yearlings in New York next Saturday afternoon. the Rcd and Black team will be inexperienced by injuries to two of it's best players at least, namely Ray Whaleand Cap tain Otto Saur. | Coach Fred Hunt made a definite announcement today that he will keep Ray Whalen out of the lineup for at least two weeks, which prevents him from playing in next Saturdays game, but 1t is doubtful if Whalen will be able to play at all this season. Whalen is suffering from straining of cords in the knee which he received in the Wilby game, several weeks ago.
 Saur is suffering from a brushed ankle bone which is very painful. Another player on the hospital list is Acquilla Adams. He is suffering from an infected face. Quarterback Ray Shea is also out with a bad leg injured in the New Haven game last Friday.
 As it is Coach Hunt will have to depend on uncovered power of the second and third string men. How ever, there is a promising batch of scrub" material from which the coach may pick a few good substi- tuteS-

A According to as StaIe1nenI IIIAS morning by Manager kearney the management of the Brooklyn All Colegiates failed to keep their agree ment to bring here such Siars as Ney- tised, and much to the surprise Of kearney after the game had gotten underway. he noticed half dozen ot local players in the visiting dugout filling the role as sU bStituteS.
 Visitors Get No Money.
 The local manager realizing that ho and the Bridgeport sports were being bunked lost xime in protest ing to Jermain, the Brooklyn man ager. At the conclusion of the tlfSt quarter the latter agreed to accept $4O0 guaranHe instead of $500, ac- cording to the original agreement- but for some unknown reason the Brooklyn outfit refused to take the field for the third quarter, afer the against them. The BrooklynfteS re- turned to the big city without cent, the local mana cement keeping a tight hold on the s400 and reimburs1ng the spectators for aheir disappointment. There was consid erable speechnai<- K ang on the field by Manager JerInalh of Brooklyn, Jack kearnen ana All All nouncer Jack Melee. The crowd also vented its feelings against Connie Lewis until he was whfsked away Tn his automobile.
 After the experience of yesterday it appears that the local moguls have learned a lesson and will keep OH booking games with so-called IorlIieL -I', college star aggregations. Ihere no question that the local club was the victim of a bunk game, but inc fans will not stand for that sort Of business They went out to the game as advertised and were "bunked' in With the financial backing it has the Bridgeport A. & A should not find it difficult matter to book games with responsible teams. and ha Yesterdays program was a big fig gle, but Manager Jack <earney and Promoter Connie Lewis solemnly swear there will never be a repeti- tion. .
