United States. He won his title al the final bouts in New York las, Tuesday night and arrived home to- day to spend two weeks with his parents.
 He left New Britain for the metropolis on April 30.

 In his first fight, Sergan easily disposed of his opponent via. the knockout route and without delay he was matched for another fight. He spent a busy month during May, fighting in all seven bouts meeting all corners in the 1i0 10 1l2 pound class in the amateur line.

TRACK TEAM BEATS SOUTH|NGTON HIGH
Red and Gold Athletes Swamp
 Lewis High Representatives

The New Britain high school track team smothered the Lewis high school track team of Southington in a dual meet at the Willow Brook park yesterday afternoon. The To- calls rolled up a high total of s1 points to the visitors 5. The local i team took all first places, all except one of the second places and all ex- cept three of the third places.
 It was the most complete victory in years for New Britain and num- ber of features attended the meet. Probably the prcttiest event of the afternoon was the winning of first place by Loomis of New Britain in the 440 yard run. The local lad was in the rear of the field around the lap and at the three quarter turn, put on a burst of speed that carried him across the finish line we'll in the lead of his mates. La Cava ran pretty mile race for New Britain outstripping all inc field from the start and never being headed around the track. Bray was the big scoring factor for New Brit ain landing first place in the 100 yard dash and in the 200 yard run, while he copped a third in the broad jump.
 Hamlin of the Southington team was pretty much the entire team. He vas one of the prettiest athletes on the field but he is essentially a sprint man. In yesterdays meet, he en- tered every event except the long runs and although pretty well worn. he managed 10 place second in the zoo yard run and third in the 100

LEAGUE ENTRIES TO MEET TONIGHT
Details Of City League Will Be
 Discussed by Managers

A meeting of the managers Of the teams already entered in the City league, will be held in Room 201 in the City hall tonight at o'clock, The details Of the city league will be discussed in general and any man. agers of other teams interested in the proposed entry of their com binations into the league are invited to attend the meeting.
 At present, there are four teams entered, the Pirates, Rangers, Pio- neers and Fafnirs. It has been the hope of the public amusement com mission that at least six-team league could be formed but after much work only the above four have consented to join in.
 Despite the fact that only four teams are entered, the City league will be conducted this year. If six 1 teams can be secured to enter the race, the league will be limited 10 that number, but If only four teams are willing 10 enter, then the league will be run on a four-team basis, ac- cordng to James Naughton who is . the committee of the public amuse- mcnt commission on handling the details of the league. Tentative arrangements call for the opening date of the league to be Saturday, June 27 and the league will be conducted for eight weeks. This will make a schedule of full games for every weekend and probably a twilight game during the week.
 A prospective glance over the roster of the four teams shows them to be equally matched as far as playing strength is concerned and the race for the city championship should be a close one this year.
 It has been suggested that some of the old time baseball players, who have been disporting on the diamonds about the city and state the past few years, form q team and enter into the league. This team could include Ray Bcglcy, Jimmy Green. Stanley Budnick, Tedders kilduf. Micky Noonan and others and a team composed of men of that cahber could easily trot away with first honors in the league. It is also suggested that Landers, Frary and Clark Co. choose a team from among the members 'of the intcr-dcpart- mcnt league and enter this team as a factory contribution 10 the league. This would fill out the siX-tcam cir cult and make things interesting throughout the season.
 It must be impressed on the minds of men who are interested in the formation of the league this year, that the meeting tonight is open to anyone who can represent a baseball nine willing 10 enter the league. TShe managers will discuss Saturday aft crncon playing and twilight games and all other details connected with the league. The place is Room 2o1, City hall. time, 8 o'clock,

(BY JOE WILLIAMS)

New York, June If you know pri2etght managers and their iIk you won't get particularly excited over this:
 Eddie Kane. who pilots Tommy Gibbons. is betting his own Jack on the St Paul Irishman 70 win from Gene Tunney when they come to- gcthcr June S
 Whats more interesting, Kane is betting on Gibbons to knockout Tunney'
 A lot of persons with mental gifts beyond those of a village half wit think Gibbons is good enough to make Tunnoy say uncle in q slow, reluctant manner, but only the ultra brave suspect he is capable of knockout.
 Kane, however, thinks Gibbons is capable of anything, Kane actual ly thought Gibbons would whip Dempsey. That's why he agreed 10 match him with the champion out in Montana for nothing or less at ; the usual rate of foreign exchange.
 They Are Real Friends
 Kane and Gibbons are more than Just business associates. They arc wonderful friends. You will never read of d split coming into the lives Of thcse two like that which Is now bringing The Messrs Dcmp- scy and keurns much underjsable publicity,
 When Gibbons hangs mp his gloves, Kane will cease 10 be his manager. Not before.
 kane's shrewdness as d manager has been questioned by the financial experts (Bht never by Gibbons ) In these days. when any ham ?and- rgger can make a fortune out of knucking, many have wondered why Gibbons failed to break into the fancy greenbacks with greater frequency,
 Gibbons answers that for himself. I'm not so easy to "whip," explains Tommy. The boys can make more money fighting the pushoyers l. takes two to make a match and l know the difficulty Kane has in got ting most Of them to meet me-
 Even so, Gibbons IS comparatively wealthy. He has nearly $2O0, 900. For fighting Tunney he will get more than he oNer got before for a single fight. The Dempsey fight which he fought for nothing-was not exactly unprofitable. A yaude- vile tour netteI him s5o,00o. The publicity was vital. too. It is some thing to be known as the only man who ever stayed Is rounds with the man-killer.
 Got $500 Purse Then
 Six wars ago Gibbons was fighting for S5oo purses And in 1918 he fought Georga Chip in Pittsburgh for &26o His first big money came al Pittsburglr in 1921 when he was paid $5.ooh for battling Harry Greb Later he fought Greb at Madison Square Garden and drew down l5.0n0
 That was top" for him until last summer, when he got $6o,0Oo fol chasing Georges Carpenter. in thf Footrace of the Century at Michigan Clty.
 Gibbons went to London last veal 10 hattle Jack Bloomfield He wal promised S75.0no. Actually he go &l5.ooo, The promoters didn't hav' any more Gibbons had to tak' what he could
 The fight probably wasn't vortf any mora than that 10 me anyway, phllosophIes Gibbons, without th, slightest trace of venom or regret.
