 Luby and Leo johnson
 Leo Johnson, the 'tculled gent of the Acorn A. C., and Young Luby, the seeking Crasho featherweight will revive their f1stic debate over the e1ght-round route. Young Saxon, erstwhile amateur, will do battle with Danny Ridge of New York, in a six rounder.
 Lou Bogash is training like the well known beaver for his encounter with Young Fisher. He is leaving no stone unturned in preparation for the battle as he realizes Fisher is a rough. tough fellow who is liable to hurdle any one. He demonstrated that when he fiattened Jack Delaney in three rounds in Providence two weeks ago.
 Sailor Grandy, veteran middle weight of many gruelling battles, who is in Bridgeport visiting old time friends, went to the Acorn club. Sat urday afternoon, and put the mitts on with Bogash and gave the local bat tier one of the best workouts in quite a spell. They went at it hammer and tongs and the few fans who were Sailor exp ects to be in Bridgeport a few more days and may aid Bogash in his training. Bogash is in won derfu1 shape for his bout with Pal Reed at the Pioneer Sporting club, New York. tomorrow night.

will almost certainly start the West Point game. Joss. who was likewise boosted from the scrubs, had played at the Taft school, but was involved in one of F'u1ler's selective drafts of promising reserves and has been used at left tackle the past two games. Today he leads the candidates for she place, but Ed Greene, who was also promoted from the third team last month Is his closest competitor.
 Lester Miller. who holds first seie.>- tion at right tackle, is another scrub product, who was bounced from Dr. Bulls irregulars to the regular line- Up by Jones and Fuller.
 Neale Joints First Stringers.
 NeaIe has apparently performed the feat, regarded as impossible of break ing into the big four backfield, which was regarded as having a monopoly of the frst-string situation, Captain Jordan, Newell Neidlinger, Bill Nal 1ory and Charley O'Hearn. Neale's game yesterday compelled the coaches to admit today that he was being giv- en serious consideration for a regu- lar place. He played at West Vir- ginia, when Fuller was head coach there.
 A youngster whom the coaches ad- init has forced himself into the 1922 hall of fame is Ted Hart, whose quick witted dash saved Yale from being scored against by Williams for the first time. He raced and overhaul ed Chandler from behind bowling him upon the 5-yard line. Hart is coaches said that it was doubtful whether O'Hearn will play against West Point, although he will resume practice.

 FOR OPENING TILT

The Y M. H. A. basketball season will be opened at the Y. M. H. A. Hall, Madison avenue next Tuesday night when the championship r. M. team plays the Stuyvesant Settlement Five of New York City.
 The Y. M. H. A. team will be man aged by Sol Mooney, veteran player of the organization. Mooney succeeds Charles Rosenbluh who is now resid- ing in Danbury. Besides managing the team Mooney says that he will again swing into action, playing one of the guard positions. Some of the other candidates for the team are Max Fit1eson, captain. Greenstein. Kaplan, Rockowitz and Wexler. Rube Gordon and Billy Marron. of New York who starred with the I'M team last season will not be seen with the team this year as the local combination will stick to strictly local talent.
 The Y. M H. A tossers were the I'M champions of New England. de- feating the '. M. H. A. team of Springfield last season for the title. Last year they piled up a record of twenty straight wins. The Stuyvesant Settlement team did not play the To- calls last season but in the year before it gave the Y-M tough rub, the Bridgeport combination winning by the close score of 3S-37

Charley White delivered a resound- ing rap on the door of Benny Leon ards throne room Friday night when he fattened Sid Marks, of Canada, in
 he second round of their battle at
 fadison Square Garden. It was a
 mock that the worlds lightweight
 hampton could hardly have failed
 hear. Charley is now crouched on
 le doorstep of that throne room and

 ;nored. Benny and his manager,
 lily Gibson, will have to do some
 ling about it soon.
 In fact, Charley White is only one
 f two lean and hungry wolves that
 re snapping and snarling at the gold
 n barrier. They are paying for raw neat, and their howls must make the
 imperial Benny a little uncomfortable The late w. s. Gilbert observed that ia Jr oliceman's life is not a happy one. ~~, 1t can't have much on a champions when two gloved slayers like Charley White and Lefty Lou TendIer are dogging his footsteps.
 When Leonard finally decides to open the door of his throne room and sally forth to do battle, as he surely be Charley Whites challenge that he will be called upon to parry first. While this combat is raging Lefty Lou Tender will be sitting on the side lines licking his chops and waiting to pounce on the survivor It isn't a very pleasant prospect for Benny, no matter how you look at it.
 It is difficult to determine which threat against Leonard's ancient and honorable title carries the greater peril, but it rather looks to as though the real danger is White. He is certainly the first that must be hurdIed. If Benny can accomplish this successfully and then dispose of the vicious MT. Tender he will have a clear and peaceful vista surround ing him on all sides as far as the eye can see. We doubt whether any light weight king ever faced an "1F'' that looked bigger.
 Lew Tender had his shot at the title last summer and missed. Benny turned him back at EoXIe,s Thiry Acres in 9 tumultu-

MASON AND MACK BANTAM TITULAR
 BOUT IS BIG TALK

What has promises of one of
 the most interesting mitt duels
 seen around this neck O the
 woods in many moons, is on the local fistic card for next Monday
 night when Eddie Mack. the
 humping Stamford bantam
 weight, tackles Johnny Mason,
 recent graduate of the amateurs.
 The tilt is slated as the semi-finaI
 of ten rounds to Lou BOgash and
 Young Fisher.
 Mack is one of the best half-pint scrappers developed in the Nutmeg in years. He has a. sInearing left jab and a corking right cross which he uses effectively throughout the entire bout. Mack has fought some Of the leading boxers in the bantamweight whom he fbattled to a draw in Stam- ford last year. He recently battled Joe Clifford, New Yorks Greek cham pion to an eight round draw in Staan- ford.
 Mason the Real Goods.
 Mason. who has licked everything In the simon pure ranks, is very promising. He improves with each succeeding scrap. Jack Diamond, the veteran manager and handler of fighters, is tutoring Mason and says ne will miss his guess by several healthy margins if Mason is not up there is another year stepping out with the best boxers in the bantam prctege will make a good showing against Mack although he frankly states that he will not be surprised to see Mason lose the decision to his

BOGASH IN N. Y.
 FOR REED BATTLE

Special to The Bridgeport Times.) New York. Oct. 23.-Chairman William Muldoon, of the State Athletic Commission, commended the Pioneer \. c. for its efforts to follow out his recommendation made last week that an elimina- tioD series of bouts among eight of the outstanding niddleWefghts fn ef1e country be held to decide who is the best qualified boxer to wear the crown in that division. At the BiltmOre Hotel, MT. Null q loon made a statement that he was heartily in favor of the club putting up a championship belt which will be awarded to the winner of the initial bout and so on until 1t becomes the property of the survivor of the tour nament, and he gave his permlss1no for this to be done. He also stated that he will be at the ringside to see
 the contest tomorrow night between
 Lou Bogash and Parson Pal Reed that
 will start the ball a-rolfing- The
 Commissioner has a warm spot in his
 said on a former occasion that some
 of the best fights that he has ever
 witnessed have been staged at this arena.
 Real Fight Predicted.
 The High Mogul of the Commission as well as the fans are due to see some real action when Bogash and Reed square off. Both men have trained as never before for this con- test. The pair at different times have met the eight boxers selected and naturally each believes that he will be the one who will go through the ser ies without a defeat. With such an incentive it is not likely that the bout will go the limit, considering that both contestants carry K. O. in either mitt.
 Bogash and his manager Joe Smith arrived in town today from Sandy Hook, Conn.,, where Lou has been working out with a score of sparring partners and he looks fit to put up the battle of his life. He will do some light training at the Garden Gym and then rest up for tomorrow nights fray.
 This will mark Reeds first. appear ance before the local fans, but he is preceded here by an exiellent record. He has fought them all including J Johnny Wilson.
 In personality he is just a bit diff ferent from the accepted idea of a pugflist. To those who know him in private life Pal is one of the best boys morally that ever lived and a clean cut lad through and through. So well is he liked at the Harvard course of physical culture, that they have offered him a berth as boxing in the famous college. He has been approached many times by prominent church people to study for the ministry, but for the present thinks that teaching Sunday school, boxing instructing along with his oth- ar studies will be all that he can take care of at one time.

HUGGINs AND INGRAT1TUDR

Some little capital has been made Of the point that the Yankee Colon els would have displayed rank ingratitudS had they failed to re-engage Miller Huggins after he had won American League Dennants in consecutive years. That is driVel, no more, no less.
 The Yankee Colonels would have displayed a lack of horse sense had they turned Huggins adrift for no other reason than the fact that he is a good little baseball man. Neither gratitude nor ingratitude enter into the matter at all.
 If anything, Huggins should be grateful to the Yankee owners They went out into the open market and bought him two pennant-winning ball clubs. Under similar circumstances a half dozen big league managers could have delivered.
 The best bit of advice the Yankees ever received from anyone. Huggins included, was given. gratis. when others called to say goodbye to Til Huston after the world series.
 Boys quoth the good Til, "I've just been looking over g. picture or the 1921 Yankees. Ten players in that group are missing this year. With our new park, seating close to S0,0000, available tor a world series, it might be worth $10,0o0 or more to be a member of pennant-winuing Yankee team next year. Think tL over"

 Of tasty, checkered blue. Beneath his eye he wore bump
 And that was azue, too. Abaft his head in gorgeous red
 A cauHf1ower ear, Hung loose and limp, a tiny blinnp
 Above an orange smear. Of natty, silken necktie.
 A flower, there and here. A suit of nifty. modish checks,
 A vest of ochre brown, A purp1e-tinted pair of socks,
 And eybrows. white as down Upon his feet, by no means neat
 Abode a creamy spat; A perfect slue of rainbow hue
 From tnstep to his hat But the fans said he was yellow,

 Missing in Action.
 Until the present season two of the most Prominent officials in collegiats football during recent years were Tom Thorp and "Tiny'' Maxwell. Both of generous girth, they were consp1cu- ous at once for their size and their ability to make decisions accurately and well.
 Maxwell gained the wider reputa- don, but he once told the writer that without Thorp's cooperation he doubted whether he ever would have gotten away with 1t so we'll. Thorp is coaching the New York University team this season, but we have an idea that he will be back. Thousands of football men all over the country would like to say the same thing for Tiny Maxwell. His body died, but his reputation still lives.
 Judging from the way Leland Parl1fn ran wild in the Yale gaS1e Iowa needs no Devine inspiration this season.
