 Three years ago Bryan Downey, middlewelght handled by Dunn, was matched with Johnny Wilson, the titlc-holder, at the big league ball park in Cleveland.
 For six rounds Wilson gave Downey an artistic pasting. Dow ney was about ready for the "kayo" at the close of the sixth. In the seventh round, a right to the chin, Q desperate swing by Downey, hit Wilson on the button and down he went The champion had his own hand-picked referee and he gave an unusually long count.

A. team, champions of the "" Hartford county league, in a game played at the local high school gym last evening. The home team used a snappy passing game which com- pletely bewiIdered the invaders. Aforin, Saunders and Casey were the leading point getters for the green, while Miller's aIl-round featured for the losers. The visitors on a whole playing on a strange floor played a commcndable game, but the Emei- aids at their best were too strong for them. This broke the Y. M C. As winning streak of eight straight games, and Coach Bailey of the los- CTS immediately secured a return game to be played next Wednesday night.

Three Pounds Extra

Throughout the bout Tremaine showed superiority in every feature of the. ring game with the exception Of stamina. The youth of Martin gave him that single advantage.
 When the bout was arranged, Martin refused to let Tremaine come in at the bantamweight limit, 11S pounds. Tremaine must weigh more than that or there would be no fight.
 Both fighters tipped the beam at 121 1-4, so there was no advantage either way. Tremaine got the de- cision over the champion, yet Mar tin retains his title, since both were over three pounds overweight.
 By decisiveIy defeating the cham pion Tremaine has gained national prestige; is really in a position to dictate terms to the champion when the pair meet in a titular bout.

UNOFFICIAL TITLE
 NOW ALL THE RAGE
Boxing, Etc, All Take
 Shot at It
(BY BILLY EVANS)
Unofficial world titles are all the

Unofficial world titles are all the rage in the world of sport.
 Recently. in golf, Walter Hagen British open champion. defeated Cyril Walker. American tite-holder, by the astonishing margin of IT up and 15 to play in a 72-hole match.
 By that victory Hagen became the unofficial pro golf champion Of the universe. However, the defeat did not carry with it the United States pen championship held by Walker.
 Then along came Willie Hoppe, 1S.2 billiard champion, with another form upset. Meeting Bob Cannefax, three-cushion ttle-holder, at a game new to Hoppe, he defeated Canno- fax 600 to 554 in 10 blocks of 60 points.
 Cannefax. however, did not lose his title, for when he agreed to meet Hoppe, probably sensing the inevi- table. he stipulated that his title was not at stake.
 The latest unofficial world title has to do with the boxing game and Eddie "Cannonbalp' Martin, bantam weight champion.
 In a recent bout at Cleveland, Martin was decisively defeated by Carl Tremaine. Referee Matt Hinkle awarded Tremaine the de- Cison.

For the third time Downey knocked Wilson down and this, time the referee could have counted 100 instead of 10. Apparently he real ized the situation. and. being in there to save Wilson, gave him the fight on foul, claiming he had been hit while down. It was an outrageous ruling.
 If ever fighter won a title Downey took the middleweight crown from Wilson but he didn't get 1t. Now it seems the irony of fate that Dunn's boy, Tremaine, should beat Martin and get nothing but the award of the referee.

O.P.VAN SWER|NGEN|
FACES LONG QUIZ
Questioned Concerning Per-
SonaI Affairs as Far Back
as 1915 at Hearing.

All attempts to limit the inquiry
into the personal affairs of o.. p. and
M. j. Van Sweringen were abandoned
today when the Interstate Commerce
Commission resumed consideration OF
the Nickel Plate Railroad consolida-
ton plan.
o. P. Van Sweringen, who was on
the stand when the hearings were
adjourned recently, returned to the
witness chair and II. w. Anderson,
counsel for the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad minority stockholders, who
oppose the consolidation, continued
cross-examination, which went back
to 1915 in it's consideration of Mr..
Van Sweringen's realty and suburban
railroad interests at Cleveland.
Newton d. Baker, counsel for the
Van Sweringen interests had strenu-
ously objected to the questioning Of
his clients as to the business projects
In which they were engaged previous
to their railroad connections, but he
gave notice today that the objections
had been withdrawn. Commissioner
Meyer said at the same time that the
commission had overruled the objec-
tionS.
Mr. Van Sweringen furnished a list
of stockholders in the Terminals Prop
critics Corporation, which he said had
been organized in 1915 with one-half
Of its ownership held by himself and
brother. This corporation became
possessed of real estate in Cleveland
and of suburban railroads rights of
way. Later Mr.. Van Sweringen bor-
rowed, with the corporations stock as
collateral, large sums, which helped
him In acquiring control Of the Nickel
Plate Railroad.
