Johnny Reno, the navy boxer,

prove he can hit by tlattsning
Goldie Ahearn Thursday night at
Sportland Arena.
Its all wrong about my not

Smith is an awkward boxer and.
In addition, is a tough fellow. It

pretty well, though, last week ana
would have stopped him inside OF
two more rounds.
"Ahearn is going around telling
what he's going to do with me.
That's good, that is. We're going
to box ten rounds, not eight. I'll
get him in ten rounds, that's what
I'll do"
Ahearn and Reno are to make 1873
pounds ringside. This is their
natural weight and 30 neither Ia

Joe Brock, OF Baltimore, who

TWO CONTESTS
ON TO-DAY FOR
MILAN : LADS
Chicago White Sox, Slipping
Badly, Open Final Series
in Capital.

Today Zeb Milan will lead his gang
against Kid Gleason's Chicago White
Sox in a doubIe-header. the first game
starting at Q o'clock. There is no
telling when the second will end.
The White Sox seem to have shot
their bolt. thanks to:those four de.
feats handed them by the Griffs on
the last swing through the West. The
Windy City crew folded up like a
tent after that series and, instead Of
being q good gamble for first d.
vision berth, is now fighting to keep
from slipping down into the cellar.
After today there will be two more
games with the Sox. and then three
with Ty Cobb's Tigers closing the
Western clubs appearance Tor the
season In the Capital.
Next week the Griffs have three
games to play with the Yankees in
New York. Because of the imhort-
ance Of that series, Manager Milan 10
expected to groom his pitching staff
especially. Two defeats in three
games would be q serious matter for
the champions at this stage OF the
race.

BENNY SWARTZ RETAINS ,
MYTHICAL RING HONoRS

BALTIMORE, Aug. 22.-For a time
last night Benny Swartz's mythical
Southern flyweight crown appeared
ready to tear loose from its moorings,
but II failed to crash.
In the twelfth round Of his fuss
with challenger Nate Carp, Swartz
received a short, terrific right 10 the
abdomen. His eyes rolled, his knees
buckled.
Carp. quick to take advantage Of
an unexpected opportunity, was upon
his dazed opponent like a leopard,
but he, too, was too far gone as n
rcsult of the eleven furious rounds
which preceded to apply the finishing
touches. Swartz rallied gamely and
for the remaining minute and half
of-the final stanza STAYED off his
opponeH. 49,
The final bell changed and there
was nothing for the judges TO do but
award the decision to the champion.

"Where!"
Fright here" and he began un-
wrapping his bundle. From it he
drew four excellent photographs Of
the Rutland milkman in action. We
looked.
According to those photographs,
Waino Ketonen is no child. He has
neck like Gibraltar. The muscular
development of his back, chest and
shoulders is Q gorgeous sight, If you
like muscular development in an
athlete. Coupling those muscles
with Ketonen's great record on the

Ketonen . Tough Guy.
VTTAINo KEToNEN is a
" tough guy on the mat.
w Freeman didn't tell us. Il

w tough guy on the mat.
W Freeman didn't tell US. II
Is matter Of mat history.
Ketonen is a Finn. In Fin
land. having no baseball or foot
ball or crap shooting to interest
them, young men readily turn to
wrestling as an athletic recrea-
ton. Indeed. this is a condition
all over Central Europe and the
Near East. Turkey, Bulgaria,
Russia. Poland, Austria, and
Sweden boast Of their wrestling
champions. Spain, Portugal,
France, and England seldom pro-
duce any good ones. They have
other national sports. Wrestling
plays second fiddle.
Backed by much outdoor life,
Ketonen came to this country
several years ago and began
meeting all-comers. He forged
rapidly ahead, made money and
invested il in a farm outside of
Worcester, Mass. He doesn't in
tend to be a mat worker all his
life. Nothing like that for him,
not when everybody likes to
drink milk and eat fried chicken.
That's the kind of a farm he has,
a milk and chicken farm.
But he does wrestle now and
then, when not driving old Betsy
out o. the corn or wringing the
neck of some chicken. He's ap-
parently willing to come down
here and tackle Joe Turner, who
claims the middleweight mat title.
He'll come for $1,000. Joe Free
man has the 1000. Now it's up
to Turner to put up or shut up
or go to Arkansas or any other
likely place. The next move is
distinctly his.
Giddap, Napoleon, it looks like

over for William T. Tilden, William
M. Johnston. Vincent Richards and
r. Norris Williams are apt to have
q rude awakening. Certain II is that
the Australians will be rs per cent
stronger against the American com
mission than they were against
Spain. and in addition they have a
psychological advantage which Will
count greatly in their favor. ..a
They have behind them the spirit
OF Norman Brookes the famous Aus
tralian hero Of many international
Tits, who selected the team and
taught them all he knew. II Is
known that Patterson has been In
constant cable communication with
Brookes and that the latter il solely
responsible for the strategy to be
followed by the invaders.
Patterson's victory over Alonxo
In straight sets In Philadelphia
Saturday gives the lie to those
who thought the lean gent from
Kangaroo Land was slipping.
In this match Patterson played his
best game since his arrival In this
country, end figures to have q
chance to defeat either Tilden, John
ston, or both. Any over-confidence
on the part of the Americans and the
huge silver bowl is likely to go on
a long, unexpected journey.
Just a word about Alonso-he has
proved that Spain can produce some
thing more than bull fighters In the
sporting world. His exhibition against
Wood when he pulled out a victory
after a seemingly hopeless task will
stand out as one of the epics OF the
sport.
Alfonso is likely to do considerable
in international tennis before he Is
through. 1t cannot be denied that
he is the most colorful player who
ever came to this country.
While no official announcement
has been forthcoming as to which
of the Americans will play in the
singles and doubles, 1t is learned from
the highest authority that Williams,
although captain of the team, will
not play. ..,..... 80, '
He will look after the business

There is little that can be said OF

: may also be said. would be a favorite
