Denny McMahon, who put Kid kap1an on the rpugilistic map, and the Meriden Bearcat got into town last night and lost no time in starting on a. search for some of the Baird money that has been advertised freely during the past week. Over in Con- nis Lewis headquarters the Meriden crowd succeeded in placing about $500 in bets of small denomination, the wagers being stored away in Connie Lewis safe, awaiting the out come.
 Connie is neutral. ''If I was bet ting on the fight I would decide my choice by the flip of a coin,' said the Bedding farmer. ''These fellows put up a sIambang affair in their last fight, with little choice between them at the end. Both are fighters There's no sta11ing or loahng tactics in the makeup of either. I think the fans are due to witness another good fight" was Comics say on the subject.
 KapIan is Confident.
 Kaplan is confident he will repeat. Kaplan informed the Times writer he was troubled with a lame right in the last fight, but the public didn't know it. At any rate il did not check the whirlwind style of the Meriden boy, and as he declares his hand is in perfect shape. Baird may step into the way of some stiff punishing in Kaplan's slaShing drives

GENE SPIKES THEM RUMORS BOUT DERBS'
 PET PARTIES
By Head Office Boy.

Chasing down rumors should be an indoor sport. I was considerably wind ed by the time I got into com spike one of those things I heard over in the vicinity of the press coop at the ball game the other day. You can hear lot of rich stuff exploded there, but in nine times out of ten It fails to stand the test when Kid Con firmation gets on the job.
 I meets Gene down in front of the Beauty Shop. next to the Stratfield, talking to Mat Saunders, boss at Polis. Mat isn't a baseball fan, but Gene is his confidential man when in town.
 Gene" says I, this is no news for the public at this critical stage in the pennent race, but news is news, you know"
 Yes. kid,'' says Gene, ssbut- hurry up as l expect long distance calls on the telephone from Hugsins, McGraw Garry Hermann, Ban Johnson and Connie Mack about some new stars
 That Bawling Out Affair.
 well, you know, Gene, I says news was news and this is "a ticklish ques- tion: l heard you gave a great bawl1ng out to some of our prominent other day in the clubhouse I heard that one of our prominent players who has been conbing Pleasure Beach, Myrtle Beach. Brooklawn Heights and other pleasurable mer- ry-go-rounding hours got about every thing you had except the slipper you used to wear on your lame foot last Summer. '-i..
 That's a surprise to me-" says Gene. ''Did you see any of them out 'late?' critically quizzes Gene.
 No Evidence From Me.
 tNo," says I. That's impossible. because the cook at my house puts what it is to be out doors when the white lights are f1ickering and the gay betting parties are taking place at our beaches" emphasizes I.
 l couldn't get any authentic intor- nation on the subject from Gene ex- cept a laugh, like those he spreads at Pete Mclaughlin, Mutt Waters and other upmS.
 Finally, I forced Gene to say. That's the first have heard about it, whose been steering that bunk into your path?
 Gene is Set Right.
 Well Gene,' says I, the boss phy. Edwin Miracle" shugrue and 1bera Trankie n,,st Solan ha so You know, Gene there is fire, but I'll deny all reports of this spanking party on your. part, III put the spike in the yarn and vim dlcate our accused players upon whom the eyes of the suspicious do rest"
 Shanty House Coming Along.
 I had to make some bluff to get something in the tangible line or so in an interview, so I turned on an other track. .----
 "Gene,' how is shanty House get ting along? l haven't seen him on the pedestal of fame since he got that pumping for five hits in d row the other day." says I.
 "shanty Is coming along all right" says Gene. He is pitching to the catchers every day. Don't you see him2
 "If you says so, Gene. all right" says I.
 Then, I started in to kid Gene, and had him going. I told him heard that the Anti-Noise Society Agents, were going to get after hin1 for run ming that squeaky lawn mower and the guy that practices on his cornet so early in the mornings on Sanford place.
 1T am wise to you, you can't get my goat" says Gene ,and I called our little conversational bout a days work.

Tough Going in 10th


 Then came the tenth, one of the hardest three minutes of ac- tual fighting seen at the Arena for a long time. Aware that the chances of winning the decision were against him, Mickey turned loose all of his guns from the bell. Bogash met him with the same kind of stuff. For the en- tire round they battled all over the ring with Walker wobbling the Bridgeporter more than once with his fierce hooks to the head
 They were into the ropes, out in the centre, going from corner to corner and all over the place with the fans hopping up and down and fairly bowling in their frenzy of delight and excitement. It looked as though one we'll placed blow would win the melee by a kayo for either man, and both were to win it that way.
 When the bell sounded ending the mill both were pretty we'll blown and exhibiting plenty of signs of wear and tear. The de- cision to Bogash was well receiV- ed. The fans were satisfied.
