KENSINGTON AGAIN
 TAKES A BEATING
State Hospital Nine Of Norwich
 Plays Snappy Baseball

All-kcnsington was handed am other nice beating yesterday on the homo grounds and this time it was the fast Riverview team of the Nor wich State hospital that turned the trick.
 Slim" poitis started in tho box for kcusington, but his team failed to play ball behind him, the first two men getting on base on errors. A sacrifice bunt was laid down and no one covered first base with the result that three runners were on with nobody down. Timely bingles at this stage of the game gave the visitors commanding lead of five runs which with two more, the only counters made in the rest of the game, gave them a good margin of victory.
 The visitors shortstop and third baseman played scintilatine ball throughout the contest taking 10 chances between them without lHuoollIS any, AIClll, NOFWlCll aICn- CT made nice catch of foul when after a hard run, he fell down with the ball sticking in his mitt, and a snappy double killing was made via shortstop 10 first base.
 Fields relieved politis with the count five to nothing against him, but this did not bother the speed artist of the kensington team as he held the visitors to six hits and two runs for the remainder of the game. At the bat. hc helped himsc,t to three clean hinglos.
 Greco made a nice running catch of fly and Ray Begley in center field, handled four putouts without a slip.
 The Norwich team that showed at Re Percival avenue grounds yester- day was the fastest bunch of play CTS to face kensington this year.

RangerS-OriolcS

The game between the Rangers and Orioles, which decided first place was worthy of such value in any league. While the Rangers rooters chantcd for their favorites, Bill Chant did most of that himself, He was in great form, using the head ss well as the arm and all in all turned in whale of a box exhibition. He had the birds eating out of his hand all the way with the exception of the sixth inning, when the first three batters got intield hits by nifty bl,nt- ing. Only eight hittcrs reached first base on the business like little pitcher. He famed 1 and gave one walk and he also hit a batter.
 Anderson, too pitched an exc2l- lent game until the eighth. Up to that fatal frame he had allowed but three hits, one a most potent bonner by Milo Argosy. But the little left handler tired after one was out and then the Rangers belted him for four clean hits before he was ? re- lieved by Salak. It was a mighty fine game of ball as good as any seen around here this summer.
 The first hit came with two Iown in the third, when Simon singled to center only to be caught off first. The Orioles counted in the first, when Bucheri walked, went 10 sec ond on D. Cosgroves sacrifice and scored when Simon dropped J. Cos groves long fly.
 The Rangers tood the lead in the fourth. Jack Argosy got on when Luke let D. Cosgrovc's throw get away. Milo Argosy came up and slapped the first pitch out to Dia- mond No. beyond left field for a homer. From then on both teams were tighter than the drum.
 The Orioles got their first hit in the sixth. Bucheri laid down a bunt and beat Chants throw. D. Cos grove repeated along the first base line. Luke buntcd one between the box and first and bucheri counted. TrOnOWski drove a groundcr to Me kncrnoy, who threw to first But Jack Argosy was not covering the bag and let the throw get away, all lowing the other two runners to score, After the only one Oriole reached first, he being Klcmas, who was hit by pitched ball in the ninth,

(l}y Joe Williamsl

New York, Aug. 1o.--Is it being scribbled in the ponderous ledger of Time that young Bob 1'itzsimmons shall follow in his fathers foot steps? You ask yourself that when you read young Bob at 29 is just beginning to find himself And % is old in the ring.
 You must start winning in the carly twentics if you are to amount to anything. There have been few exceptions to this law. One was a conspicuously important exception.
 It featured the original Bob Fitz- simmons, father of the 29-year- old Cornishman, who is just beginning prospect. The elder 1'itzsimmons did not start boxing until he was 27. Two years later he won the middle weight championship of the world pareil,
 At the aged of 35 he won the heavyweight championship of the world by knocking out Jim Corbctt at Carson City, Nev. Two years later he lost the title to Jim Jeffries at Coney Island.
 Old Bob continued to fight hard, gruelling tests until he was 47 years old. They finally had to get out an injunction in New Jersey 10 keep him out of the ring.
 All this, of course. is ancient his tory. What interests us in this connection is that young Bob is be- ginning 10 star at about the same age old Bob began to attract world wide notice.
 Young Bob has been in the ring for nearly 10 years. No one has ever given him much of a tumble. Some years he would go through an entire season without pulling on the gloves. Those close to him said he lacked the instinctive love for the ring that made his iliustrious dad a marvel.
 When he did fight it tested ones capacity for physical pain to sit through the performance. Young Bob was THAT kind of a fighter. He wasn't losing often but there was nothing about his winning work that stood out, Nobody was able 10 put him out, though Charlie Weinert whipped him. so did Martin Burke, likewise Young Stribling.
 This year Young Bob began 10 come like the wind. The other night he cracked the tough Romero Rojas on the potato cruncher and knocked him out in three rounds. That was Young Rob's eighth straight knock out.
 For the first time since he stepped into the ring boxing writers were able to write something about his being chip of the old block with out laughing.
 Better Built than Parent
 The Rojas knockout was achieved in masterful, expert manner. Young Bob fcinted with a left that | drew the bellig6rcnt chile bean in close and then fired with stiff right cross that landed squarcly on the Jaw angle.
 Old Bob himself couldn't have done it any heater, though he might have done it sooner.
 Young Bob is better built than his distinguished parent and is a better boxer Old Bob relied mainly on hitting and ring shrcwdncss for his victories. He was no good al the | clever stuff
 It's not easy 10 say what Young 1 Bob's future will he At least 1t looks brighter than it did four or Ave years ago when he qualified as the games most celebrated ham.
 They are talking of matching him with Gene Tunney, the soldier cham ,pion, who flattened Tommy Gibbons. This would be d real test. Tunney might beat him but We wouldn't want 10 bet he'd knock him out
