Bogash Stops Hickey in
Three Rounds in Harlem
Two Knockdowns Are Fol-
lowed by Tossing Of Sponge.

Louis Bogash, Connecticut's favorite
middleweight. who has been boxing with
much success for several months, scored
another victory last night when he
stopped Young Hickey Of Harlem in
three rounds at the Commonwealth 8. C.
Bogash sent Hickey to the canvas
twice in the third round, and the Har-
l:mite took the count OF nine after
each visit to the ring floor. Hickey was
very tired when he reached his corner
and the attention he received from his
seconds in the minutes rest failed to
revive him.

sponge.
Hickey made an excellent fight for
two rounds and was holding his cwn

Hickey measured his length OF. tho

when he arose at nine, and saved him.

As soon as Bogash got free of Hlckcy's
arms he sent over another heavy right

second time. He staggered to his feet
at nine and Bogash was about to
measure his man for another knockdown

There was a knockout In the semi

Joke on Critic.

From the coast comes O story o!
which Young Griffo is the hero. Accord
ing to the yarn Griffo when he first
landed In America secured n number OF
fight engagements in California. These
wero limited by law TO three or four
rounds each, and as there was no box
ing boom in those days the top price for
men of his size was $500 per fight.
Griffo fought a number of these. won
them all. and his fame spread. SO his
manager. a business man, moved East
and as Griffo was novelty with a name
was able to secure a bid Of $1,000 for his
FIRST appearance. Returning in high glec
to his charge the manager informed him
of the rise in price. Griffo was bitterly
disappointed. what. ~ he demanded IN
tones of grief and horror. won't they

Republic A. c. Gets Years
Lease Of I'D Armory
Seeks Boxing License as Rival
to Garden.

John NJ. O. O'Connor. president of the Re-
public Athletic Club. writes as follows to
THE New York HERALD:
THE Republic Athletic Club has OBJ
tanned years lease from Col. +. d.
Humphries. commanding the Twenty
second Regiment Engineers, for their
armory at Fort Washington avenue and
168th street.
"For the use OF this arnory the club
will pay $1,000 night for a minimum
Of twenty-six nights Of boxing through
the year. We have already posted
$500 as an evidence of our good faith.
In other words, while the Garden les
sees pay rent to private individuals We
will be giving over $4,000 a year for
rent to the State as we'll as the required
percentage of our receipts. The Gardens
claim that the fact that it pays taxes
on property entities II to freedom from
competition with boxing clubs staging
shows in armories is therefore ridic-
ulous on the face of it. The Garden
would have to pay taxes IL the building
was used for boxing or not.
THE monopoly on big bouts In this
city Is decided detrinent to the game.
There must be the spur of competition
in all lines II the public is to be bene-
fitted. No bout will be too big for the
Republic A. c. When the Athletic COM
mission sees fit to grant license to
the club the public will almost immedi-
ately have most attractive place in
which to witness bouts between the best
men In the game.
The monopoly held by the Garden can
not be shown up more clearly than by
pointing to the fact that fifteen out OF
eighteen of the licensed clubs are sit
uated in neighborhoods which make II a
positive risk to visit them. The Athletic
Commissioners. / have on good author
ity, have never been to these clubs.
They know nothing Of their condition
and environment.
THE armory we have contracted for is
in a fine neighborhood. 1t is thoroughly
sanitary, OF course, and Is an ideal place
for the public to go. In Paragraph VII
of the law which restored boxing in the
State and created the Commission, ex-
press mention is made of the fact that
armories can be used for boxing. The
Athletic Commission. in this instance,
seems to take exception to the law
which created II. Although permission
is given to hold bouts In most unattrac-
tive surroundings, bouts In armories are
taboo
What objection can there be? Ger
tainly there is enthusiasm enough
over boxing to assure good patronage.
Certainly the place will be fit for decent
people. Certainly the management and
arrangements will be fully over board.
"Why then does the Athletic Com
mission hesitate7 Why does 1t permit q
plainly injurious monopoly to feed fat
on the purses of the New York fans?
THE Adjutant-General OF the State
favors boxing In armories. Are the
standards of judgment Of the Commits
sion any higher, any better? Do they
feel that these men would countenance
anything not conducive to public well
fare2"

GUNNERS MAKE LOW
SCORES AT N.Y.A. G.
Difficult to Hit Blue Rocks
Because of Reflection of
Sun on Water.

q. d. Anderson led a field of forty
five gunners at the Travers Island
traps OF the New York Athletic Club
yesterday. He won the high scratch
prize with a card Of IS out of a possi-
BILE 100 targets. The score, although
not particularly high. was considered
excellent, as the shooting conditions
were unusually difficult. A strong sun
beat down upon the waters of the
Sound and. reflecting into the eyes of
the gunners, made 1t hard for them to
see the tiny blue rocks. ~
An indication Of the hard shooting
conditions Is seen in the result of the
high handicap shoot. AS a rule full
score of 100 targets takes tho prize.
Yesterday the best score was 9S re-
turned by e. II. Locateili. A. p. Palmer
was tho winner OF the Travers Island
cup. and leg on the monthly cup was
taken by J. III. Vanderveer.
Four gunners we're credited with legs
on the Haslin cup. They were H. D.
Meeker. I. s. Reynolds. A. ]. Mcclure
and A. p. Palmer. All had full score
of 30 targets. The shoot for the doubles

Rosey's head that hurt the Brooklynite.
Rosenberg was strong and carried the
fight in close quarters. pounding away
on Donovan's midsection.
Rosenberg landed two hard rights to
Mikes jaw in the fourth round that
had Mike wabbling and II looked like
a knockout, but in his over eagerness
to land a finishing blow Rosenberg
grew wild and missed his chance. Dono-
van fought back and managed to last
the round.
There was not much doing after this
until the sixth round, when Mike caught
Dave with a terrific right on the ear
and Dave reeled around and almost fell
on his face. This blow dazed Rosen-
berg, but he revived and cut deep cash
over Mikes left eye.
The boys fought toe to toe in the
ninth round and they both scored with
heavy rights and lefts to the face. Dom
ovan had much the better Of this round

this branch Of the sport. Mike also
had clean advantage over Rosenberg
in the tenth round.

each other like gamecocks. Rosenberg

senberg weighed 159 and Donovan
scaled 1861.
Danny Ross won from Jimmy Smith
in the semi-final bout which was sched-
uled for ten rounds Ross dropped
Smith for the count of eight in the

a chance with Ross.

MONTANASHOOTER
BEST OF AMATEURS
Il. w. Renfro of Butte Had
Straight Run of 295
Last Year.

L w. Renfro or Butte. whose sensa-
tionai shooting during the season of
1921 won him several championships and
put him well up in the standing of the
first fifty" on tho ranking list of tran
shooters. also leads the field in another
department. according to figures lust
issued by Stoney McLinn. secretary OF
tho American Trapshooting Association.
This shotgun expert. who frequently
is referred to as the Montana Cyclone"
made the longest straight run on regis
tered targets Of any amateur In North
America He clicked off 295 without a
miss.
A Tong rum in trapshooting Is re-
corded on the records when a trap
shooter breaks fifty or more targets In
succession in open competition, and OF
course a man of Renfro's ability broke
fifty straight many times during the
season.
But he Is not the leader In that re-
spect, for Frank M. Troeh OF Vancouver,
Wash. made seventy-five, the greatest
number Of official long runs. E. 4. Wood
ward Of Houston. Tex, ran second to
Troeh. but it was not close second. for
he made only fifty-five.
Troeh. long marvel of the trap
game, is consistent shot, which ia
proved by the number Of times that he
smashed fifty or more straight. More
over. he won three titles at the Pacific
Coast Zone shoot, and three at the
Washington State shoot. In addition
he won the Pacific Coast Handicap with
the score of 80 x 100 from the 23-yard
mark-the very limit in distance handi-
cap shooting-a feat not duplicated by
any man in the game.
And when 1t came to long runs Troeh
was wizard last year. for he not only
left all Of the amateurs far in the rear
but also had many to the good on Fred
S. Tomlin of Glassboro. N. j., who
leads the professionals in that depart
ment.
1t Is no easy task to break SO OF the
fast-fying clays, in succession. but that
feat IS not rare. However, II is not so
often that even the most slillful trap
shooter can click OF 200. Just fourteen
men succeeded. and not one of those was
able to repeat the performance. Those
who got into this select class, with the
number Of targets they broke in sue
cession, follow:
