BRISTOL TEAM ID
 PLAY LEGION FIVE
Hardware City Quintet on Road
 for First Time Tomorrow

The American Legion basketball team will oppose the Bristol Endees at the Bristol High school gymnas- lum tomorrow night in their first road game of the season. Since their victories over the Dixles Of Hartford. Bill Battey's Crescents and other teams, the Legion tossers have been brought into prominence in state basketball circles and are accepting tho first Of a series Of offers for games on foreign courts.
 The local team has been travelling along at a fast clip and when the Hardware City combination starts against the Malcolm Feldman com Dlne, there will be some tall basket ball for the spectators, The last victory Of the locals over the Crcs- cents with Tim" Cronln, Bobby Hatner and Abe" silverman pitted against them, gives them the neces- sary confidence to meet and con- qucr the Endces of the Bell City.
 Coach Harry Ginsbcrg will send in his best lineup in an effort to cop the hcnors in the game and as the players are all reported to be in the best possible shape, the Bris- tol Endees should be forced 10 the limit to add another victim to their long list.
 The Bristol team has conquered suQc Of the fastest teams in the state. Playing almost as unit as the Holyolle basketball team, the combination has been displaying wonderful offensive and defensive play. With Tommy Tracy, the only Bristolite to appear in the lineup, paired with Crowley, whose uncanny rye was responsible in great measure for the National Guards defeat in Bristol the Bell City outfit has as sweet a pair Of guards as can be seen around these parts.
 Malcolm and 'eldman, the two forwards, are rated as the best play ing pair in the game in this section of the country. They have been playing continually since their High school days and when one pairs witt the other, there is bound to be trouble for the opposition.
 The Burritts will play the Bristol Ccltics in the preliminary game. The CelGcs are the leading outfit in Bristol, leading the Bristol Junior league and a lorrid battle should result. Clyde Waters will referee.

(RI JOE WILLIAMS)

You hear little of George Chip or Al Mccoy when the impromptu de- batting societies discuss great fight CTS of the past
 Yet both Chip and Mccoy, at dit- rerent times, were middlewcight champions of the world
 Chip was not q bad fighter; he had a punishing left hand, an cfLcc- tive defense and you couldn't hurt him." lie was good enough 10 beat fellows ike Frank Klaus Buck Grouse and Jack Dillon.
 Mccoy, on the other hand. was a horrible tomalo--one of those mis- guided birds who hang around gym uasiumS all the time and who think they can fight Mccoy Was called the worlds worst mlddIcWoight, and h. had no trouble successfully de- tending the title,
 On April I, 1914, Chip and Me Coy were matched to battle 10 rounds at Brooklyn, And thereby hangs q tale, a tale which hae not, to my recollection, been told before. Chip was not originally matched with Mccoy. He went in as q sub sti,uto for his younger brother, Joe.
 It was this way: Jimmy Dime, managed the Chips Joe had pre- viousy fought Mccoy and had punched him stupid. George, then the champion, had never shown in the New York district. Jimmy wanted to get him started there, figuring he would fight himself in 10 some important dough. So he wired the Brooklyn promoter as follows;
 Joe is sick. Can let you have George, the champion, at same terms"
 Naturally the promoter was agree able. So was Mccoy, who had little 10 say, about it anyway being considered lucky to have a place on the card.
 What followed was a terrible shock 10 Mir. Dime and an even more terrible shock 10 Mir. Chip.
 Mccoy the clown, the tramp, the impossible, knocked out Chip, the champion-best since Stanley Ket- chcl's day--in less than one round!
 Call it what you will, q miracle. q Whim of fate or sheer carclcsSncSs on the part of an arrogant cham p;on, hut the result brought a Legitimate championship to battler whose skill hardly qualified him for preliminary fighting.
 There is not much 10 tell Of the fight Itself, The knockout came after one minute and 4o seconds. Chip immediately assumed the az gr"Ssiro and began scoring with light punches 10 lhc head. Mccoy made awkward attempts 10 block and a' intervals v"nturo1 a swing ing punch that missed its objective by many inches.
 Wrestling loose from a clinch. Chip cut loose with his first real blow Of the round, a left to the jaw. In some manner or other, Mccoy, also swinging a left, man aged to beat the champion to the punch. And it went home, solid belt to the point of Inc jaw.
 Chip foll on his back, his head . striking the floor with great force. and he was unable 10 rise at lo. l'imc and two other seconds carried him to his corner where he sat, silll da7od, for several minutes That's the tipSt ,imc ever told a lie 10 get one Of my fighters a fight grumhl"d Dim" after the tragedy "1t will he Tho last"
