RACING HERE
Association Thanks The
Light "for Making 1t
a Success"

Encouraged by the wonderful sue
cess OF the Armisticc Day races, tn
San Antonio Racing Association has
set February % as a tentative date
for the next event.
J. ". Draper. advertising manager
for The association, estimates that
more than $500 people witnessed the
event last Wednesday. the feature
event OF which was won by Jimmy
Lawrence. San Antonio boy. His
nearest rival was Jimmy Draper.
THE race was n great success
said Mr.. Draper. 1--WE were rather
uncertain as to whether San Antonio
would support such an event but our
first attempt was well rewarded and
we are duly thankful to The Light
for the manner in which it put this
race over for US. 1t went over with n
bang and now that we see that San
Antonio has enough enthusiastic race
fans to support such events we are
already planning another for the near
future.
BETTER NEXT TIME.
Next time we will assure evep
greater thrills and daring drivers. We
will require cars to enter the time
trials on the day prior to the races
and drivers will have TO get their cars
here two or three DAYS ahead of time
in order to tune them up.
"This time less than half the cars
We expected arrived. Bad roads in
various sections Of the country held
up travel.
JUST A STARTER.
"Many drivers unloaded their rae
ing cars on the track on the day of
the race. There was but a short time
for adjustments and time trials.
"'rbis last race was a success but
il is Just a starter for what we are
going to do"
The San Antonio Racing Associa-
ton is laying plans to bring more
nationally known talent here for the
next event. The track will be i'm
proved and early time trials and adj
justments will provide one of the best
events race fans have ever seen in
tie South.

New York, June l3 P-Johnny Dundce today stood near the end ot his 12 year fsttc career, beaten by d youthful New York foe yet un- conquered by a knockout punch in what was expected by many 10 be his last fgIt.
 For 15 rounds al tho Coney Island stadium Sid Ferris landed on the grim ,ctrran of 3o0 battles, every punch known 10 boxing. Three times in the ninth round inc former featherweight champion was stag gnred and seemed on the verge of a knockout yet doEgrdly he hung on and fought hark with gameness that carriod him through six more punishins rounds.
 | Dundee. once nne of the fastest and quickest hitting fighters of two divisions, Vas outspeeded and out l fought in every round Tn their first ! fight at Madison Square Garden a month or 90 ago. Dundee had rallied so well in the closing rounds that a protesting demonstration was made by fans against verdict for Ferris but last night the latter so cleanly outclassed the veteran that the judges returned a speedy decision.

LEAD OF ATHLETICS CUT
 TO ONE GAME AND 4 HALF
Washington Gains On Leaders By Win Over Detroit Cleveland Again Trips Yankees-Pirates Defeat Giants-St Louis Cards Again in Winning Stride Cubs Outslug Boston Braves.

New York. June 1S,-Their lead cut 10 a game and half over Wash ington and their regular pitchers driven from the mound on two sue cessiye days by fierce Chicago bat ting onslaughts, the Athletics today rallied their routed diamond cohorts for a final stand against the White Sox in the hope of securing an even break for the series and for the Ainth week of American league play.
 Seventeen players were rushed to Philadelphia defense as the Windy City players rained Is hits on the Quaker City park, but Heimach alone, pitching his first four innings Of the season, proved effective. Ed die Collins led the attack with four hits as the western team rolled up 1s runs against a single tally for the junior league leaders-the worst de- feat suffered this year by Mack 5 team.
 Washington profited by tue re- verse of the leaders, defeating De- troit 10 2, as Zachary turned in a ~ell-pitched game. Brilliant hurl- tng also decided two other American league contests, Ehmke of the Red Sox scattering eight St. Louis hits for clean-cut Boston victory, to :, and Joe Shaute limiting the New York Yankees 10 three bngIes as Cleveland again tripped Huggins' nine by similar score. Babe Ruth passed another hitless day, while Iris Speaker collected his second homer in as many games.
 National league leaders also fared badly, New York retiring under a s-2 defeat before Is Pirate drives and Brooklyn failing 10 score off the tight pitching of Eppa Rixey, Gin cinnati veteran.
 The Giants choked off an early Pirate assault with 8 triple play, but Barnes and Bentley Giant hurlers were unable to check the terrific Pittsburgh hitting. Aldridge. on the other hand, permitted the champions to get runners all the way around only in the fourth inning.
 With RiXey in unbeatable form his team mates accepted most oi their scoring opportunities as a re. suit of timely hitting by Rube Bress Ter, who inserted a home run, dou hle and single at propitious periods -N The St. Louis Cards got back or the winning track as the result 0 another high class box performance, by Sherdel, off whose curves th' Phillies were able to gather but fou hits and a single run.

 Claire, present short stop. is the only veteran on the team who will bo back to play next year. The re- maining members will be lost to the team through June and February graduations. Some of the members of the team will be available for football next fall. but will leave te~ school before the 1926 baseball sea- son comes around.
 Coach Cassidy has had the faith of a saint in his team all through the season. Despite defeats, despite poor showing, despite everything that tended 10 show the team up in poor light, he has always insisted that he has one of the best teams in the state except that he lacked pitchers. His coaching of the indi- vidual players caused the strong combination to be molded together and followers of high school. base ball depend on him to turn out strong team next year.
 The record of the team during tho season was not an impressive one. Victories were chalked up against Troy Conference academy. St. Thomas seminary and 14aSal- lette seminary hines. These three are among the strongest the team met during the season. It fell to the lot of the team to drop games to Hartford two times. New Haven. Crosby two games, Lewis High, Southington, LaSallette seminary of Hartford and RoXbury academy.
 An idea of the worth of the team can be gained by the fact that the Collegiate Prep team of New Haven was fought to an II inning tie by the Red and Gold awhile Buckley, state champs, were Table tV win out from the same team by meagre run.
 The batting averages of the team for the year are as follows:

The New Britain High school baseball team will end the present season this afternoon when the Red and Gold players cross bats with the fast St. Thomas seminary nine of Hartford at Elizabeth park. The locals have one win over the semi narians in ten-inning contest and they are confident of pulling out with the bacon in tomorrow's game and retrieving some of the prestige lost to Lewis High of Southington last Wednesday afternoon.
 Although the team did not make success Of the past season when out of 13 games scheduled they won only three and lost eight, the other two being cancelled because of rain, the nine of 1925 is rated as one of the best combinations ever assem- bied together at the high school. For fielding and hitting the team was equal if not better, to any of | lIc ltGill5 lildt NdlhSut uNuJ hiiIi victories over it. but this year there was a dearth of pitchers which fact tended 10 put the locals in the lost column on almost every attempt.
 In most of the games played dur ing the season, the team had a good lead on it's opponents m the early sessions, but due 10 the opposing side finding the elants of the slab men to their liking, and because the team had no relief pitcher working we'll, the team was doomed to de- feat in nearly every contest.
 This is not meant to take credit away from the pitchers because duo 10 series of unavoidable circum' stances, the team was without re serve strength and at times, injur' ies to the sla abmen caused some 0 them to be slightly oVerworked Conlin, star twirler, was the bes slabman that the team had. He however, went through part of th' season with a sprained back anC had only partly recovered from thi when he was called on to face Hart ford and pitched one of the bes games of his career. Lefty Haber one of the sweetest outtielders eve seen on a local diamond and regl
 lar buster at the bat. served mos of the season as a relief man an he was put into the box in som
 very tight situations.
 The outstanding stars of the tear
 during the year were by far Neip
 and Haber. Both of them led th
 batting list and both are outtielder of the excellent type. Politis, in hi
 first year playing with an organ ized team, has the makings of star first sacker Although wea with the willow. he got hits whe they were needed. Belser, in hi first year as an iniielder, shove the goods all through the seasor
 He handled his position like vel eran and until he went into a sligf slump, he was one of the leadin
 hitters on the team. Claire at short
 stop, made one or the biggest TIT provemenls ever seen in q playt on the high school team. He cam up in the batting list from aroun = .220 to 1909 and third ill the lis = He played a regular Rabbit - Maranvile game at short.
