 The remainder of the details do not matter much Tommy kept on slam ming away, fighting c1everly, crafty. feinting his opponent into leads that led only to punishment until a twist of fate in the tenth caused Gibbons right fist to call below Miske's belt and Miske to fall upon the floor and the battle to end.
 It was more than the mere disap- pointment of losing a fight that he had had virtually salted away for keeps that came to Tom Gibbons when he left the ring. Kane showed the crumpied telegram into the boxers gloved fist. Read 1t Tom,' he said, let's hurry and dress. I'm awfully

Bridgeport Star on F0rdham n
 Injured in Game

Paul Brennan, of 335 East avenue, center for the FOrdhanl football eleven, sustained a spEained back in the E'ordhaHl- Boston College game in the Hub, Wednesday. which was won by B. c. by a 27 to o score. Brennan was taken to the City Hospital after the game. Brennan's mis- hap occurred in the third period which was a strenuous session. The Bridgeport boy is 19 years old and was considered one of the main cogS in the E'Ordham ma chino and his loss will be a sad blow to the teams. It is said, however, that Brennan's injuries are not of a serious nature and that he will probably be in shape to resume activities in a week or so.
 Brennan, who was better known as ''Red" Brennan, was a very popular athlete in Bridge port High athletic circles. He came to Bridgeport from Ford ham prep in 1919 and went out for baseball and track in which he showed much promise, but he was not permitted to compete be- cause his four years of high school was up at the time. He was also d member of the St. Joe's A. A. and won fame as 9 jumper.

New York, Oct. 14-(By The
 \. P.)-They tell stories about ac-
 tors sometimes going out on the
 stage after tIsey have received
 news of the death of a husband
 or wife, recitinG their regular
 lines and making indifferent folk
 feel happy and laugh. Probably
 those stories are true.
 They must be. Any one of the crowd that filled Madison Square Garden last night and saw Tommy to Billy Miske. his fellow townsman, in the tenth round of their bout that was to go 15 rounds, probably will believe so today. They looked upon the sort of courage a fighting man is rarely called upon to show. but few of them knew 1t then.
 Only a few of that bowling crowd saw a uniformed messenger boy creep up to Gibbons corner during the sev- enth round and cautiously getting his signature of receipt first slip a yellow into the hand of Eddie Kane Gibbons manager. Gibbons saw il out of the corner of his eye as he slashed and slugged and he knew
 The Yellow Envelope.
 When Tommy came to his corner sank calmly on his stool and asked Kane 'FWhat does it say?" What does what say?' countered the man ager. his face flushing. "Oh, all right answered Gibbons, "but l know"
 The detailed account of the next round shows that Gibbons 'rained rights and lefts to the body and slammed several teeth out Of Mfske's

Black Friday Wins
 On Friday the 18th
By Tad

Racegoers who remembered yesterday was Friday, the 18th, won a bet at the Jamaica track If they played a hunch. In the first race there was a colt named Black Friday. He had run some fairly good races and was known to a big crowd of racegoers. That, coupled with the fact that it was Friday and the 18th of the month. made them and a host of other followers of the sport wager on him. So heavy was the play on this hunch horse that his price dropped from 8 to 5 to 6 to 5. And when Black Friday Scam- pered home far ahead of his field he received an ovation the llke of which is usually accorded to FutuFity or Derby winner.

When a manager finishes in last place in the majors his job is in jeo- pardy. That is the position Hughey Duffy, manager of the Boston Red Sox, finds himself in.
 While no one figured the Sox to finish very high, still few consigned Duffy and his team to last place.
 The Boston club in bad with the fans because of the way the star players have been sold during the last three or four years, did not in- crease it's popularity through the poor showing of the team this sea- son.
