Among the. many records that
crashed in the past gridiron season
was one that pleased every person

fessional elevens, playing usually on
sundays, were not as fortunate. Sew
eral games were cancelled because of
downpours.

for the American league disclosed
recently among he league statistics
for the past season. The Washing

Detroit was second with .291, and
three clubs tied at .2S9. In 1921. sec

There will be a big boxing show

into the office last evening with the
statement that Ted Cossette was aw-
full quiet every time the name of
Johnny Mcintyre was mentioned as
a possible opponent The boys met
once before and Johnny had all the
better Of the argument and as a re-
suit Cossette's manager can't even
hear proposition to match the boys
up again.
In the event that Ted decides that
he is willing to fight Mcintyre in Au-
guSta, that will be the main card in
the fight December 10. In the event
that Cossette passes up the chance
of collect little pin money Eddie
Thomas, one of the best up around
Boston, will fight Mcintyre. Either
bout should pack City Hall as Nc
Intyre is without doubt one of the
best little club fighters in New Eng

Johnny Callahan, the former Au-

manager, Eddie Mack. is out with a
full fiedged guarantee that Johnnie
can plaster any middleweight in New
England and reports of his progress
are encouraging. Johnnie wants to
visit the Capital City again and
would like Young Josephs of Water

agrees to meet anybody but prefers
Josephs. He will be given chance
to show his wares later in the season.
