LONDON BOXING
 SEASON OPENED

London, Oct. 2-The London boxing season opened early this year. At the ring recently Fred Archer survived 20 rounds of an encounter with Colin McLachlan, of America, and was giv- en the verdict on points.
 McLach1an brought with him a formidable record of reported knock outs to his credit. British boxers were duly impressed, but Fred Archer, Londoner, took the newcomer on and boxed a draw with him. McLachlan was wrath at the verdict, and de- manded another bout. The second contest between them took place at the Ring"
 "McLachlan." says the Daily News describing the fight, '+is a rugged strong fighter with no defense. He can hit, but he has not yet learned the proper way. Archer, a better boxer, scored dozens of 1efts, and almost closed his rivals left eye. The loser won no more than three of the rounds, and the best that may be said of him is that he is game to the core. The majority of men would have been dis heartened at such persistent assault and battery as his face endured"
 Roland Todd, of Doncaster, fought Frankie Burns, the Australian middle weight, at Liverpool and won in the 18th round. In the third round Burns was knocked down twice, and again in the ninth round. After he had been badly punished his second threw in the towel.

M'GRAW BIC FAVORITE WITH
 NEW YORK BASEBALL FANS

New York, Oct. 2-New York fans always have admired the generalship of John J. McGTaw, manager of the Giants. and they give to him without stint, full laudation for bringing to- gether, in his devious ways. an ag- gregation of the present two-time champions but none is renaiss in praising Hughey Jennings, 'Napo- Icons Chief of Staff.'' Hughey is now considered a gen. uine New Yorker by the throngs that has filled the Polo Grounds nearly all season. Two years ago the rabid followers of the Giants were a little frigid to Jennings when he moved his baggage from Detroit and trans planted his grass picking habit and his stirring "E-ya sh' from Navin Field to Harlem.
 There was much talk then that McGraw was preparing to retire from the active management, having ac- qutred a part ownership in the club, and some of the fans were skeptical, notwithstanding the record Jennings made with Detroit, winning pennants there in 1907, 1908 and 1909.

When Jose Rodriguez, star first baseman and leading batter
 of the Bridgeport baseball team,
 left for his Havana home last

 that he would not be back here -

The Problem of Pitchers.
 How good do the Giants pitchers have to be to stop a team that under the whip, scores exactly five times and gets a matter of 25 hits in it's last five games? The answer is just little bit better than downright bad.
 The Yankees, with their accus- toned lack of good taste have selected the few days preceding the world Se- ries to fall heading inhto their worst batting slump of the year. In thei score at all against Uhle and Jack Quinn, three times in one inning against Ferguson and not at all dur ing the remainder of the game against Pennock, and once against Rip Collins in Boston, and Yarmouth, a recruit. sn Washington yesterday.
 .Uhle, Collins and the rest of them, barring Yarmouth, are recognized as first class pitchers. when right, but the odds against them all being right at one and the same time. Anaemic hitting must have had something to do with it.
 Almost simultaneously McGraw has begun to get commendable pitching from Nel1f, Scott and McQuillen. He has worked them a few innings here and there and they have done right well. Nothing exceptional.
 Nothing exceptional of course, be- cause three innings make a ball game no more than one swallow makes a highban.
 The combination of fair pitching by the Giants and poor hitting by the Tanks has prompted any speculative gentlemen, who once chanced to 5 on the Yankees, to run to cover. Bets are now being made around the lobby of the Commodore and at Doyle's at six to five, and before the game time Wednesday even money very possibly will be the price of expressing ones open judgment openly arrived at.
 It is the only sensible price, if any price is sensible. AS a matter of fact, betting on a Worlds Series should be listed with blasting, sword swallow ing, wife beating the like as. precarious occupation.
 The fact that McGraw has been juggling Nehf, Scott and McQuil1an in recent games is taken to mean that Jess Barnes, the young man who curve -balled the Yankees into mysteries in two games of the series last year will not be very prominent in the impending games. It is likely that McGraw has decided to shoot all he owns on the three men in question and use Barnes for relief pitching, an art at which the latter uncovered no little proficiency in 1921.

 Jack McGee Interested.
 The team to have opposed the Gu ban aggregation was being corralled by Jack McGee. The latter was also In position to secure several of the major league teams for Sunday tilts here, but the football program knocked his plans into cooked hat. G With the beautiful October sun shining down upon him at Newfield, yesterday afternoon, McGee was also in anything but a pleasant state of mind. If the plans of Rodriguez and McGee materia1ized local fans would have had an opportunity of seeing the pick of Cuban teams in action against the local Eastern Leaguers.
 However, the incident again shows the need of an athletic park in Bridgeport. Under present arrange ments it is reported that the Bridge port football club is obliged to pay $1, 900 rental of the grounds for the brief football season, while the High School Athletic Association must pay $500 for the use4 of the park for the home school games. .e

that old adage about "too many cooks"
 Jennings was not total stranger to the older organization. In his ac- tive days he played with Baltimore. Brooklyn and Philadelphia, in the former place with McGraw when the latter was the best third baseman in captivity. Like McGraw, Jennings was an inielder. playing second base and shortstop.
 Hughey is a native of Pttston, Pa..' where he first saw the dark of a, coal mine. He trotted out a profes- sional 20 years later, beginning with the Louisville, Ky, club, as first base and shortstop, going to Baltimore in a trade four years later. In 1898 he was shifted to Brooklyn and In 1891 he became genera1issimo of the Phil adelphia Nationals.
 Two years later Jennings returned to Baltimore, then in the Eastern League, remaining there until 1907 when Detroit drafted him. He be- came manager his first year and eele- brated by winning the pennant. This season was his 18th as a team lead CT.

That inning, by the way, just about eliminated Samuel from parti- cipation in the series. It was his big chance and he muffed it. Mays will do the relief pitching, if there is any relieving to be done.
 The top three are better than any trio McGraw can muster but they are not altogether foolproof, Shawkey all though pitching fine ball, has been beaten his last two times out. Bush also lost his last start and had to go to the rescue of Hoyt in the final in ming Saturday
