sive wine since his departure to the
west coast, among them being wins

worlds title: Mike Dundee, California
Joe Lynch, Ernie Goodman and others
Just before leaving for the west he
took on Bolduc when the latter was
in but poor condition and administered
q sound trouncing to the latter.
Bolduc limped along at slow rate
after Levine left for the coast until his
work attracted the attention of the
late Vincent Pepper Martin, who took
him to New York and developed him
into one OF the best junior eghtweights
in the game today. Eddie Anderson,
Spencer Gardner, Bonnie Bass and
Young Sullivan are among the recent
opponents of Bolduc,
Bolduc Is a great favorite in Port
land, where his hectic sessions with
Lou Lambert made him popular. A
record crowd is expected to witness
the contest.

Colby gave Bates great battle
this afternoon and came the closest

BLUENOSE PARENT
and BROWN AT
| next BOXING SHOW

BIuenose Parent, the likeable young
boxer, who has been variously billed
as hailing from Sanford, Rumford
and Auburn, but whose home is in
Lewiston, will meet a tough GUS
toner at Harry Sears next boxing
show. March 8. The Bluenose since
his last showing here has developed
into a real drawing card and one of
his best fights was against the bud
ding welterweight Chick Arsenault,
who was reduced to helplessness by
Parent.
However, Bluenose isn't fighting
against Arsenault this time. His op-
opponent is none other than Young
Brown, the youthful southpaw from
Biddeford, who needs little introduce
ton to local fans. Brown Is the same
battler that toyed with K. o. Mayo
in city hall for little less than a
minute, then floored the Lewistonian
with a blow to the stomach that lift
ed Mayo off his feet and the report of
which could have been heard for a
hundred yards. Brown also gave
Young Gauvin a tough scrap in Au-
gusta, the latter's science and expert
ence pulling him through.
Another sensational boy will also
make his appearance at the newt
show in the person Of Young Drew,
the latest member Of the Drew fami-
ly to take up the cauliflower profess
sion. This is the same Drew, who
has taken decisions from Panama
Kid Of Waterville, Larry Walsh Of
Dexter and several other good boys
in this state and Massachusetts and
he also was good enough to worry
Lou Bedell for six rounds. Larry
Walsh will seek revenge for the de-
feat which he received at the hands
Of tn aggressive Young Drew.
Another heavyweight is stepping
into the limelight who threatens to
usurp the place now held by Oily
Bert Tenney, the Hallowell scrapper.
This is none other than Texaco Pete,
who has written for bouts and who
IS willing to fight any heavyweight in
the state including Tenney. Pete will
fight good boy at the March show
and will probably meet Tenney at a
latter show. Two good preliminaries
and even little music will take place
during the show.

Little of Frances
Chances, Davis PIav

New York, Feb. 22.-(AP)-Final
decision in respect to Frances par
ticipation in Davis tennis cup play
this summer may hinge upon the re-
suit of the international team matches
to be played in the Seventh Regiment
Armory here Thursday. Friday and
Saturday Of this week.
The entry list closes the middle of
March and already several nations
have made known their intention to
compete. Among them are Switzer-
land. Great Britain, Poland, Portugal.
Argentina and Italy, all in the
European zone. Australia's decision
is expected at a meeting soon, with
the prospect that the island contin-
ent's team will enter the European
play as representatives are to be sent
to the golden jubilee tournament at
Wimbledon, Eng.
Jean Borotra, conqueror Of William
T. Tilden in the National indoor
championships last week. apparently
believes that France will decide to
contest. When questioned, regarding
his nations chances of defeating the
United States this year. he said:
TT is foolish to think So"
Tilden and Richards will be at their
best for the Davis cup play, in his
opinion and 1t will be a little too
much for the French, especially as
they are unaccustomed to the heat
Of an American August.
Borotra said that both Americans
were off stroke when he and Lacoste
ousted them from the indoor ma
tionals and that they would not be
caught that way in the International
team matches this week or in the
Davis cup tournament.
wait until the international
matches, then wen take licking"
he said.
Tennis followers are still seeking
an explanation for the defeat suf-
fered by Tilden after seven years Of
mastery in championship play. The
champion said before the indoor tour
ney started that he believes his eyes
had been affected by the footlights
he is compelled to face nightly in his
role Of actor. But close students Of
the sport were inclined to believe he
was slower afoot and that his back
hand failed on several occasions.
Eyes of the critics undoubtedly
will be more upon Tilden than upon
the sensational Frenchmen In the in
fernational matches for they will be
watching for the sure sign that the
American champion. now 80 years
old, Is near the end OF his reign.

The basketball tournaments in this
state at Bates and the University of
Maine should prove to be the most
interesting scrambles that have taken
place for some time. Several top
notch teams. seemingly a great many
more than usual have been playing
IN the state this year and when these
teams meet at the different Journeys
there should be action and plenty of
it.
Picking the candidates from differ

in some cases. In Kennebec county

be comparatively easy for Cony on

Bangor, usually one Of the fastest
teams IN the state and a regular Wis

son at home this year. Bangor, how
ever, gave Edward Little two torrid

opinion.

the season thus far without a black

South Portland and Mexico are the
other two teams. South Portland
has gone merrily on its way without
losing game and is considered as
good as Auburn. Mexico has been
having a fine year with but few de-
feats, a trimming by Rumford being
their worst setback. Mexico will un-
doubtedly be one of the entrants.
Bar Harbor, Jonesport and Dexter
will probably be the toughest op-
position the Kennebec county repre-
sentative will have to face. Bar Har-
Dor has been having a fine season,
Dexter has been greatly successful in

only game lost by Jonesport was

tournaments should be we'll worth
