Backers of tho Hartford Eastern league team arc wondering what the queer tactics of Paddy" o'Connor, manager of the team. mean. Take for instance tho game between Hartford and Bridgeport last Mon- day. In this game. o'Connor sent in Lem Owens to pitch and after a rough first inning, he was yanked In favor of John Enzmann. Enzmann went along well until he hurt his arm and then he was to be relieved. Imagine the surprise of the fans when out walked Earl Johnson, king pin of Hartford's twirlers to do the relief stunt. Earl had just pitched a tough game Sunday and was sent in again for six innings to do his stuff,

Kansas is q shrewd little fellow
and being thirty years Of age
knows full well that his boxing
days are numbered and wants to
make the most of those which are
left. He has had two or three
chances to scale the boxing heights.
His first one came as a feather
weight.
Some years ago he had Johnny
Kilbane on the floor in the last
minute of a nO-decision bout.
Kilbane got up, kidded his way
to the end and saved HIS title.
That was in the old membership
days under the Frawley law.
Under like conditions he met
Freddie Welsh. then lightweight
champion. and had the champion
all i'm and hanging on at the end
of ten rounds. He boxed Benny
Leonard three times. once in old
Madison Square Garden. when
Leonard earned the decision at
the end Of fifteen rough rounds.
In a second bout in Michigan
City. Kansas was forced to sur
render when he broke his arm.
This kept him out of the running
for several years
When Kansas was knocked out
by Luis Vicentini at the Queens,

summer, the wise birds rang down
the asbestos on Rocky's career.

blums OF Cleveland here last night.
The Brooklynites were clearly the
better team after the opening
minutes of the game and won
handily by 22-to-17 score.
The contest was featured by the
clever defensive playing of the
Brooklyn guards, Ripley and Rody
Cooney None of the three Cleve-
land forwards, Husta, Hickey and
Friedman, succeeded in scoring
from the field. All four OF the
Forest City field baskets were re-
corded in the opening period.
Three of these two pointers came
in the first three minutes Of play
to give the CleveIanderS a 7-to-1
lead. The successive field baskets
of Ripley, Conaty and Bushman
then served to tie the score at
s to 8, and Cleveland was never a
factor thereafter. The score at half
time was Is to 10.
