air-driyen machines, lethargic
crowd, unpleasant demonstrators,
the car he does not want TO buy,

CANADIAN BATTLER TO FIGHT kAPLAN M
Cleveland Promoters Get Out
 From Under DattO Bout

Meriden, Oct. T--Lco (kid) Roy, Canadian feathcrweight champion, has been substituted for Young Dat to as an opponent for Louis (kid Kaplan, it was announced yesterday .by Manager Denny McMahon and Silent Partner" Joe Beasley. And the cloak of mystery that surround cd the reason for Roy taking Datto's place was removed when it was fur ther stated the Cleveland promoters in charge of putting on the bout the 18th of the month were the ones to get out from under.
 Tickets did not sell so readily in Cleveland as Datto was not consid- cred by the fans as a suitable op- poncnt for Inc 126-pound cham pion Matt Hinl1el, the Ohio pro- moter, decided after feeling out the fans, that the time was not ripe to introduce Datto as headliner and called the match off. kaplan will go into Cleveland later on, however, with a stronger opponent, probably Eddie Corbett, who was matched with the Kid some time ago. They did not meet as Kaplan injured his hand in the bout with Steve (Kid) Sullivan at Waterbury and it was necessary to cancel the Cleveland engagement.
 Roy is 100 per cent tougher for the Kid than Datto. In one of his recent bouts Roy was the master of Danny Kramer in a bout in Madison Square Garden but Danny came through and scored knockout blow. Before the sleep powders were pro- duced. Roy had clearly the best of it against one of the leading contend CTS for the featherweight crown.
 The Canadian carries nice right hand and hits hard and often with it. He has defeated such as Jimmy Hutchinson. Kid Williams. Johnny Brown, Joey Fox, Curley Wilslur, Tommy Noble, Terry Parker, Jack (Kid) Wolfe and Benny Gould,

DINE FREER TELLS
 OF GOOD OLD BAYS
Tommy Q'Cenlor, Billy Hanna, the White Brothers and Others

The following story. written by Dink l'recr for the Hartford Times is one that will be of great interest to many New Britain people as it speaks of many of the old timers who were biz figures in fho local sport world. The article as it ap- peared in Tuesday nights Hartford times is as follows;
 (By Dink Frccr)
 The death in New Britain recently Of Thomas w. O'Connor removes ore of the last of the old guard that gave support to sports in that town up to few years ago. When Billy Hanna was buried as the sun was sinking behind tho western hills, there passed the best known all around promoter for he had been actively interested in many branches of sport notably baseball and polo, l'ori unately Charley Irving is still with us and Patsy Corbett IS able 10 swing his baton as drum major of the Philharmonic band and head the paradcS with his jaunty step as CharaCtcr ris.iC aS when Sam AlCXan- dcr's when he had the right of line in the formation of the Arab patrol of Sphinx temple.
 For many years, Irving has had a statewide reputation as an expert accountant and he was so clever at figures that he could tell within one tenth of one per cent the batting averages as wei las the fielding percentages of every member Of the New Britain team. This informa- tion was, of course of great assist aucc to Manager Hanna but was off set in way, when Ray Fisher, the Hartford pitcher, beaned one of the Cuban players as he stood up to the plate. It is not quite accurate 10 say that the Cubans stood up to the plate when the Vermont school master was In the rife pit for he took more pleasure in seeing a | Cuban carried off the field on q slretcher than he did in winning a game.
 Tom 0'Connor was practical joker and when Hartford had won the pennant in the year when there was much rivalry with New Britain. ! O'Connor exhibited in the window of ! his clothing store a large group pho lograph of the Hartford team. This was considered q very original thing for the New Britain man to do. He knew better than 10 show any such picture during the playing season when there was much feeling be- tween partisans of the two towns for such an exhibition at that time would have resulted in not only the destruction of the photograph but all the show windows.
 The big blackboards in Whites showed the progress of the games in what was then known as the Con- neCticut league Of baseball clubs and inc two major organizations. John hic White, always we'll liked, was the first 10 go and some years later he was followed by Mike, who had i branch establishment of his own in , the Arcade Jim, the other brother is still giving his attention to horses and mules as he has for many years.

 GETTING IN SHAPE
Local Squad Working Hard Tor
 West Sides Game Sunday

The All New Britain football team vill swing into action this evening" when the first of a hard program ol nractice for the West Sides game al clarkin field, Sunday. The players and coaches arc bending every eilort to have the outfit at its best for the first of the two classics of the sea son. Reports from Hartford lhdl- cate that the West Sides have one of the best eleyens inf years.
 The great showing registered against the Waterbury Blues mas created very favorable impression by the Frog Hollow club, and Il seems very likely that when me teams are sent away at 2:3O o'clocR Sunday afternoon, a packed park viii witness the battle. The meet inrs of the All-New Britains and the West Sides always brings out plenty of customers. There is very Keen rivalry existing among the followers n, tbe teams. Neither club will need for moral or financial backing TOT Sundays affair.
 Change Signals
 Coaches Pond and Dunn nave been called upon to make consider able changes in the signals ana rlavs because of the fact that the West Sides have signed up Kennedy a local castoff. The locals are all ilt for a gruelling hattie, with the eN- ception of Abraham who sustained a badly gashed hand in the game last Sunday.
 Abraham May Play
 There is, however, q possibility that inc big boy from TorrinEton will be in shape 10 play some part of the game. Tommy Duly is likely to start at guard against his club mates. Duly is a member Of the West Sides organization, but he gets plenty og kick out of lining up aCainst the team on the gridiron'
 New Quarterback
 The local management has s'Cur'u new quarterback named NcrnrE who will be on hand for practice on Wednesday night. He played at Bowdoin for two years and comes to the All-New Britains with d sp,endid record. The local fans are behind the All-New Britain team in fine style this season. The trouhc' ing suffered at the hands of the Giants last Sunday. was accepted by the followers of the eleven in phil osophic manner.
 Zehrcr and Swcn
 The showing made by Hehrer ana swem in the backfield was parucu- larIy pleasing to all. This pair or colts certainly went much better m the backfield han many Of the high ly touted stars and wonders that have been brought here from far and near in the past. Both Hehrcr and Swem live in this vicinity SC that it should be possible for tho coaches 10 get them around 10 work with Eddie I}arnikow frequently. and thereby build up some kind Of an offensive. Ralzewech Is living up to his popularity, and in each game played so far he has given a splendid account of himself. On all sides 1t is agreed that inc All-New Brltains line will measure mp faNor- ably with any in these parts.
 It is expected that the All-New Britains will have at least 2,o0o rooters on hand at Clarkin field next Sunday afternoon.
