Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 19 R, = Pinky Mitchell. junior weiterWeight champion, has returned a check for $5.10o, his percentage of the gate at his match with Willie Harmon last
 Friday,

 NeWspapermen at the ringside varied in their opinion of the fight from q draw to shade 10 Harmon. In explaining his unsatisfactory
 showing, Mitchell said he wanted to win by knockout and was waiting for chance. which never came. A desire to meet Mickey Walker
 in an outdoor match, Mitchell said,
 also influenced his returning of the check. He said if he is matched with Walker he will not accept a cent from his end unless he knocks out the welterWeight champion.

kunda of the Falcon Reserves Raises His Average to Top the

Following last Saturdays epic struggle between the Dragons and the Rangers, the leaders for the batting honors in the New Britain City Baseball league of last week fell down, Milo Argosy went down to third place in the standing while Werdelin dropped' down to 18th place. Other players in the league raised their averages considerably by their heavy hitting procivties last Saturday and they will probably re- tain their standing.
 The averages again this week are given for those hatters who are couting the pill at a 300 or better clip. The statistics show Kunda Of the Falcon Reserves on top of the heap this week through virtue of his four hits out of five last Saturday. His average is .5j6. He is closely followed by Jackson and Huber of the CorbIn team with an average of son. These two remained where they were because neither played in last weeks game,

Washington-Boys' Club

Washington pulled themselves back into first place with the Paradise Park team again yesterday when they trimmed the fast and heavy Hitting Boys club team by q 15 10 i G score. The combination of Cho- dukiewicz and Curylo in the box for the Washington team was too much for the Boys club outfit although | Chodukicwicz gave ont whole passel of free passes some of which forced in runs.
 ChOddy started in the box for the Washington but after stormy sec ond inning and q wild start in the third. he was relieved by CuryIo who ! pitched for three innings holding the { club to no score. Then Chodu- kiewicz went back in again and he had regained his control. The Boys club were not there with the stick and this probably tells the story bet ter than anything else. They only secured three hits and many runners were left stranded for the want of binGle. Both teams had costly er- TOTS chalked up against them but at whole the game was exciting,
 Schmarr. pitching for Boys club, twirled nice game but his mates got him into 2 hole so often that he was unable to prevent runs coming across.
 Washington started off by scoring three in the first and another in the second Boys club went into the lead by pushing across five in their half of the second. Washington got two more in the fourth and three more in the fifth Boys club got one in the sixth and Washington came back for two more in the seventh.

GREATEST THRILLS
 IN THREE FIGHTS
Jake KiIrain Tells Of Sensational
 Battles He Had
(As Told by Billy Evans)

Every sport celebrity has had some colorful happening in his career that stands out as his great est performance.
 The superlatives of sport are ever interesting. The greatest game of the various major league pitching stars, the greatest play of the All America football stars and the greatest shot of the golf champions always carry a thrill.
 It was only natural that I should ask Jake Kilrain what fight he re- garded as the greatest of his career, He hesitated some time before re- plying, as if going over many high spots of his ring record.
 Three events in my fight career hold about an equal place for real thrills as far as l was concerned.
 "rhe first came when l engaged in the initial big test of my career, my bout with Joe LannOn. The sec ond was my 1o6-round fight with Jem Smith in France and tho Er'Jt- est of all when I met John l.. Sul- liVan in our historic battle ot 75 rounds
 "I came from Baltimore 10 Eos ton 10 battle Lannon. It was rumorcd the bout would be stopped by the police. I was told 10 stand at the corner of Charles and Beacon streets at s o'clock and that cah would come along and pick me up. Tn that same cab was Lunnon, 1T had no idea where the bout vas to be held. We rode coHsiIer- able distance and finally stopped at a spot near Watcrtown. Mass. The audience was very exclusive, II men each paid me $lo0 for my end of the purse l won the bout in 10 rounds. That was the first big thrill of my career.
 My meeting with Jcm Smith in France was my second thrill, The purse was for Slo,ooo. q mighty big one in those days, 1857.
 At that time l claimed the cham pionship of the United states. John L. Sullivan had broken bone in one of his arms and was unable 10 ac- cept my challenge, l, in turn, claim ed the title because of his refusal to meet me. That was more or less ustomnry then. Didn't mean much,
 Smith at that time was inc European Ut)choldcr. so the match was billed as the championship Of the world with q S50O0 side bet, r"al money, too.
 Ut vas d. terrific battle, staged under most unusual conditions the bout being held in the open on a cold winters day, Al the end of fine 10Gth round it was stopped by the referee, who declared it q draw.
 My bout with John l.. Sullivan, then the champion, was of course the greatest battle of my career from any angle that you consider it. Here was meeting the worlds greatest fighter for the heavyweight cham pionship and the face and money that goes with such title. This bout was staged Tn RlCh- bourg, Miss, and was the last American prizofght. Shortly after wards the Marquis of Qucensbury rules supplanted those of the Lon don prize ring code.
 Sullivan won this bout whom my seconds tossed the towel into the ring as the bell rang for the 75th round. Both Of us were very weak, Had my second not acknowledged defeat, there is no telling what the result might have been. l will al- good as Sullivans

By Billy Evans ]

Ed Rommel. pitching ace Of Connie Mack's Athletics, is cherish ing one large ambition of the 1925 model.
 He wants 10 win 30 ball games this year.
 Rommel is particularly anxious 10 win that many for two reasons. First, it has been some years since a big league pitcher has hit that figure. Most important however, is the fact that he believes it will get him into the world series.
 Mack's knuckle ball artist has great chance to achieve his ambi- tion. In the first 100 games played by his club he turned in 20 wins. He hopes to win half that many in the remaining 50 tilts of the sched- ule.
 Despite the fact that he is built along slender lines, Rommel is a gutton for work. He works easily, always has something in reserve and pitches with his head as well as his arm.
 The fact that RommeI, aside from being Mack's twirling ace, is also his king-pin relief pitcher, gives some evidence of the ease with which he works.
 Has Chance For Mark
 During the remainder of the sea- son it is certain Rommel will get plenty of action. If it is up 10 some pitcher 10 hold a one or two-run lead in the game, that task Is sure 10 be handed 10 Eddie
 For that reason it would be no great surprise if Rommel hits the 90 mark in game won perhaps cx- ceeds that figure.
 Rommel should start about 12 of the last 50 games 10 be played by the Mackmen, He should win at least seven of them. If he gets the breaks as relief pitcher he should capture three or more victories. That would bring him up to the GO-mark in victories.
 Had Big season in 1922
 Rommcl is in his sixth year as a member of the Athletics. Even in the tuilcnd days of the Mackmen he was most effective and depend able workman.
 Three years ago, with a cellar ball club. he was the pitching sensation of lhe majors, anncXing - victories and losing l3 games.
 Better season Almost Certain
 With much better ball club back of him this year, Rommel is practi- cally assured of an even better sea- son. In 1922 his pitching was a wasted effort; this year it may mean the right 10 play in the world series.
 Great control, dazzling knuCkle ball and a good curve are Rommels chief stock in trade. Incidentally he has plenty Of courage and is bril- liant fielder When Rommel pitches the Athletics have five inielders.
 Connie Mack says 1925 is Phil adclphia year. There is no doubt about it being Rommel year.
