sturdy Bridgeport boxers.
 Lewis and Ahearn.


 Kid Lewis and Young Ahearn fur nished a bout that sparkled with ac- tion from start to finish. The battlers hit up a strenuous pace in the first three rounds with honors even and both displayed the tired feeling in the fourth and fifth. Neither had the steam behind his blows to land a knockout. Bones appeared slightly the strongest at the finish, but Ahearn landed hard and often on the comedian, and a draw would have appeased the crowd
 Delaney-EdvardS Go Huns.
 Joe Delaney and Artie Edwards were on even terms when the third round of their bout opened, both boys doing plenty of hard punching. The fast pace told on Edwards in the next round when Delaney shot sev- eral hard blows against the Walnut A. e. entry. and when the gong sounded the battlers were in a clinch.
 Delaney saw his chance in the fourth when he shot four straight punches under Edwards unguarded chin, sending the latter to the floor with a bump. Only the gong halted hostilities at that period. Edwards staggered to his corner, but was un- able to toe the scratch in the fifth round.
 The bout between Buddy and Wall ace was short and sweet. The Situa- ton looked favorable to Buddy from the start. Three righthanders to the jaw sent Wallace to the floor for the count of nine. Another one sent him through the ropes. and Referee Mo Auliffe declared the battle finished.

COmnaish Murphy Praises Local
 BOxing SOIOns

State Boxing Commissioner Robert Murphy, of Hartford, was spectator at the Bridgeport A. lS A. boxing show last night at the Casino and expressed himself as highly pleased over the bouts, and especially in the efficient manner in which they were con- ducted.
 Commissioner Murphy in a chat with newspapermen declared he never saw a show ran off with mere clock-lfke precision. Start ing a show on time and getting the boxers in the ring without de- lays are the main things to be considered. It is 50 percent of the bilI," the Commissioner said.
 "Fans would rather see a poor scrap than suffer delays added the Commissioner.
 Mir. Murphy also left town with tho belief that local bouts are the things after all. "IocaI boys can beat the -of-towners in raising enthusiasm, always" he said.

Lou Curue Ball
 OnIy Worry or Ruth On Earth

SOuthpaws make more trouble for Babe Ruth than right-hand- CTS, despite the fact that Babe has made a great many home runs off the pOrtsiderS- A low curve ball on the outside is Babes worst enemy. Nelf of the Giants used such a type ball in the world series and in one game struck Ruth out three times.
 Because of his peculiar stance at the pI-ite. it Is very difficult for Ruth to hit a low curve ball outside. It is the curve ball in- side. whether low or high, that Ruth murders.
 \ pitcher who has a change of pace and can slow up on Ruth, also is troublesome to the big fellow whether he is left or right-hander. Sfsocker of St. Louis and Kerr of Chicago are such a type. While Ruth gets his homo runs off the deliveries of these two pitchers, they more often make him look foolish.

MCCAIN FOR BONUS
 IF CLUBS PAY TT
By GEORGE E. FIRsTBROOK.

By GEORGE E. FYRSTBROOK.
 Gene McCann is in favor of a bonus system for Eastern League players next season, but not exactly on the same lines as advanced by Jim Clarl<in. McCann suggests that all the clubs set aside one per cent. of their receipts daily and merge the receipts into a general league fund to be dis pensed as agreed upon.
 McCann is against any money be- ing deducted from the players sal aries, claiming that the CIarl2in plan would mean that the players would be paying out their own money to re- ceive the bonuses.
 eff there is going to be a bonus system adopted, let the clubs pay the money" was McCann's opinion in brief. The one per cent daily tax on the receipts is the same plan that is in vogue in the American Association
 McCann Warns of Trouble.
 McCann pointed out if a monthly stipend was taken out of the players
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-11-22

salaries for the fund, mixups and dis satisfaction are sure to follow. All kinds of trouble would be sure to follow, especially in cases of players who may be released before the sea- son is completed. They would have paid in their money and could rightly demand it returned, as they would be cut off from participating in the melon. That is one of the snags the full Clarkin plan, if adopted, would run into, claims McCann.
 The Brown Derby pilot voiced the opinion that a players bonus would prove a bracer to the game, especially in the minor leagues. It would have a tendency to keep the players going at top speed, and also stimulate the waning interest of fans that is gen. era1 after Labor Day.
 Gene has not yet placed his John Hancock to a Bridgeport contract for 1922, but he declared it was practi- cally certain he would again be at the helm.

Delaney Has a Punch.
 Joe Delaney, latest local ring sen sation, demonstrated his kayo Is not of the accidental kind. when he Knocked out Artie Edwards. of the Walnut A. C., in the fourth round of the preliminary.
 Young Buddy also came to the front in a flash when he foored Joe Wallace for @ knockout after l min ute and 56 seconds of fighting in the semi-fina1 which was slated to go 10 rounds
 Kid Lewis (Jim Bones) and Young Ahearn fought eight slashing rounds in which Lewis won the verdict. Referee McAuliffes announcement was met with barrage O booes, as the majority of the fans thought both boys were entitled to a draw.
 Iuby Rushes at Start.
 Young Luiby, known for his hrrri- cane ring tactics. made a cyclonlc start against Billy Prince right off the reel. In the first round he found Billy with his swing right ons the ear, but Prince took matters easy. In the second the Hollow" boxer gave tit for tat and succeeded in reaching Luby's facial regions with several vicious uppercutS.
 I,1iov landed a, few rights and 1efts on Prince in the third, but Billy came back strong and returned the com pIiments. In the fourth round Prince had a shade on Luby, rushing
  several occasions. Prince also plas- tered Luby's body hard in this ses- sion.
 The fifth round was uneventful. Iuby was warned against hitting in the c1inches. Prince, in the sixth, took the aggressive and landed some peppery wallops against Luby's coun- tenance, but the latter took his med1- cine game1y and refused to f1nich un- der the hot attack. Honors were even up in the sixth and seventh, both boys keeping up their furious pace to the delight of the spectators. E.uby Rushes Prince to. Ropes.
 When the eighth round ended ropes in Euby's corner. Luby driving a few wells against his opponents body, in addition to landing a couple Of southpaw socks. Prince, however, stood his ground and caught the West Ender with a one-two punch on the jaw that tickled the palates of the trrong. The ninth was tame eX- change of punches, neither boxer be- ing the sufferer,
 Iuby came out of his corner like wildcat in the ninth and landed one of his Mary Ann's' on Princes face, but it did no damage Billy never hard punches to the body which blocked Luby's program of hostlities.
 In the eIev;nh session Prince sent in a few iabs against Luby chin, but the blows lacked steam. The round concluded when Luby rushed Prince to the ropes in one of his bulhsh rampages.
 The final round opened with Luby again carrying the light to PTince' .:nl Prince was cautious, awaGIed his tune, and pasted Luby couple of rib siam mers. but no damage ensued. Prince also got stiff uppercut, and after IIuby responded with an ear grazer, the gong ended one of the best bat tlas ever witnessed between two
