KID KAPLAN SELECTED AS
 AN OPPONENT FOR DUNDEE
Meriden Battler Will at Last Get His Golden Op- pOrtunity for Feather weight Title.

New York. May 2s.-Louis Kid"
 kaplan of Meriden, Conn, has been selected by the state athletic con- I mission as the most logical challenger 1 for Johnny Dundee's featherweight title, supplanting Johnny Leonard of Allentown, Pa. who was previously l selected by the commission. The change was made after Leonard's de- feat at the hands Of Tony Vaccarelli
 at the Nostrand 4. C. in Brooklyn last Tuesday.
 The news that 1lapian is selected as the most iogica, contender for
 the festherweight title comes as an answer to the hopes Of the many state fans. Kaplan has been trailing Dun dee for some time. He has defeated practically every one who Dundee
 thought stood between him and Kap- Ian. He has worked hard for the one
 "big shot" of pugilism-a chance to
 elevate himself from the ranks to position where he can demand a fitting
 of the mythical Purple Robe" that
 clothes the Kings of Fistiana,
 Others Are Ont
 About two weks ago Allentown Johnny Leonard, now displaced by the commission, and Carl Duane, Bronx featherweisht, were matched. Leonard broke Duane's jaw with solid right hand smash. Last week Leonard, then ba skiing in the smiles of the New York athletic commission, was matched with Tony Naccsrelli, a sparring part nf lob did 10 Johnny is now a matter of his tory. He defeated him in every round and bounced Leonard far away from all championship aspirations. But Nac- carelli paid a price for tho victory. he broke his right hand. Then kap- Ian went 10 the front.
 Although no date has been affixed for the bout Scotty Monteith, manager of kaplan, and at one time manager tor Dundee, Nill begin making ar arrangements with the fcatherweight champ, it was stated last night. Dun dee gained his title by defeating Eugene Criaui tho smiling Poilu Of France" on July .s at tho Polo Grounds. 1t was the end Of the rain- bow for Dundee as he had chased Johnny kiibane year after year for chance 10 win the title and had been passed mp
 Criqui however, coming here from France was matched with Kilbans and Hon the championship through knockout in the sixth round.
 ksplan started fighting at the foot Of the ladder. His untring attack, readiness to give and take and willing. ness 10 met anyone his manager SC. ected made him a big favorite the state. Many Of his bouts have been staged in Waterbury, ,s well as Now York, New Haven and Hartford. Hut he gained his reputa. ion in this city when he met and some Of the clesorest that ,ould be procured. It has been said hat kaplan made" Meriden as ight town. Proof has been offered in he different cards that have been tagged since Louis transferred his ing activities to other scenes. None nave packed in the fans nor drawn he following or admirers the way iaplan has in Meriden. And the same llso goes for other cities in the stste.

Watch Carefully rla, of star,

X catcher should always have a knowledge Of the strength and weak ness of ihe opposing players. In a league organization this is made pos sible by careful study of each batter
 Once catcher gains \ knowledge Of the opposing battcrs, it is up to him to use such information to the best possible advantage.
 When I broke into the Amcrican
 league. base running was one of tho most important fer turos of play Breaking up Of the steal Of second was a play that always loomcd up in front of the catcher when a bats man reached first base
 Playing for run was then the sys- tenn, base hit invariably scored the runner from second. X strong accur- ate arm was mott essential. 1 never had a strong arm but usually was very accurate. l tried 10 make up for my lack Of stuff on the ball by getting fl away quickly. also hy calling for pitcbout when l believed runner was going.
 Things have changed now. 4 catch er need no longer worry about the base stcaler. His big job Is trying 10 keep inc batter from hitting inc ball safe. and calling the play in advance when the hit and run is about 10 be pulled

 Carp Looks Good
 Carpenter, working like an athlete superbly conditioned and ready for battle. engaged in lively workout for the benefit Of the newspaper cor respondents, yesterday. boxing five rounds in addition to four rounds of gymnasium exercises. His showing was astonishing and left no doubt that he is on edge.
 The Frenehman. looking bigger and more robust than on his first Ameri- can appearance in 1921, performed with all his grace and skill, making his sparring partners miss by a frac- tion Of an inch and timing his blows like sharp-shooter. After his work out he yaulted over the top rope of the ring and trotted down the gray eled road whistling and waving to the Gaily dressed women who shouted good luck" to him.
 Both carpentier and Gibbons were muffled with head geais to protect their eyes and ears from rasping punches.
 Gibbons is working methodcally and plans to continue boxing probably until Friday afternoon. He boxed four opponents yesterday, taking them on for two rounds apiece, but his only cal workout was with Tillie Kid Herman, an aggressive l45-pounder. gave the impression in his boxing with Herman that he intends Io fight Carpentier at close range.
 S3a0.000 Gate Receipts
 For boxing contest without any title involved. the Saturday event promises to attract gate of s350,o0o. according 10 the advance indications. all the sso seats. tho choicest in t'A arena. have been sold.

BY RAY SCH.tIk lPremicr Catcher White SoN).

Styles in catching shift with almost as great rapidity as they do in wear ing apparel,
 Methods that produced results 15 years back, with pitchers battles all the vogue. wouldn't be very practical in these days of the lively ball and home-run sluggers.
 Don't slibi, would he the very first suggestion l would offer any catcher who sspires to become q big leagucr. Accept the breaks Of the game as they come.
 When you feel that you are right, fight for your point. When you have erred, do not geek to place the blame on tcammate or tho umpire by offer ing an alibi that you hope win cover nr youn mistake.
 Every biz league catcher makes mistakes. No one is infallible. The thing to do Is have the courage Of your convictions. call for the style pitch that you believe will be most effective and then stand or fall on your judE- mcut
