Clinch Is q fighter of the heavy punching type. He lands his blows and does not waste any. He can take all his opponent can send in and still paste back with both hands, liH is not so well vcrsed in the foot work Of the ring, but this is of les ser importance in the pugilistic start. He is getting used to taking ihe socks and wallops which every fighter must take now and then and he will acquire that shifty ducking and sidestepping with experience.

Some promoter would do well to set these two together in q ring and we feel sure that the bout would be humdlnger from start to finish. To our knowledge, the two boys have never met in tho ring.
New Britain herald., 1926-01-30

Last year, Dawson was fighting at 1lS pounds. The weight wasn't enough for him and he started to grow lighter. IL was hard work to put it on and hard work 10 take 1t off. Following tho advice Of his handlers, Dawson stopped fighting until he built himself up. 1Ic now tips the beam at 12S and carries the weight good. He has improved 100 per cent In his ring craft and a bright future is predicted for him.
New Britain herald., 1926-01-30

Tho Meridon boys followers arc just as insistent that Dawson is the logical opponent for Clinch and there you are. We think that Clinch can beat Dawson from what we have seen Of the two boys. Clinch has the superior punching power and although not as clever in tootwork as the Meriden boy, has sufficient clevernees to offset the at- tack the Silver City lad could send forth.

Followers of the local boy are hailinS him as the champion of the 12S pound class, He had twice within the past year beat the cham. rion from New Haven. but because Of the fact that tho championship are not settled until the tournament ill February, he will have to meet all corners next month 10 be award cd the crown.

IL is the usual thing when a team is beaten to have the losing players crab the referee or umpire, but those who attended the All-Middle- town-Ncw Britain National Guards last night, feel that they have real alihi for tho loss sustained in the Down River town last night.

One good amateur bout that would bring out the followers of the simon pure game, Is q match between Jimmy Clinch of this city and John ny Dawson of Meriden. Promoters of amateur bouts about the state have made attempts 10 bring the two together in the ring, but to date have been unsuccessful.
New Britain herald., 1926-01-30

AhCarn, the referee, was in his usual poor form last night and where the locals were used 10 play ing under man who adhered strict ly 10 tho rules, Ahearns failure to stop the Middletown travelling last night resulted in a number of baslt- ris for the winning side that other. ,ise would net have been c&gcd.

Clinch has been mopping up everything in the state and the Meriden youth has been doing the same. Both have been undefeated in their last bouts and because oi their prominence in the amateur ranks, q record crowd of fans would he on hand to. see the milling.

Hearing the report that Texas Uni

established that Big Jim" Crow. now

former star Aggie tackle, was one Of

The visit and deed Of the Aggie stu

students. and more than one letter
was exchanged by persons high in
authority at the two schools.
Shortly after his orange and white

Feeding Of him had become an ex-
pensive undertaking, and since his
value as a mascot had been depreciat-

killed. In death. however. "BevO" is
triumphant. From his horns are sus-

YANKS GET ADAMS
FOR SECOND BASE
BY Universal Service.

NEW YORK. Jan 21.-It was dis
covered today that the mysterious sec
ond-baseman mentioned by Miller Hug
gins some time ago as having been
secured for the Yankees from another
big league club is Spencer Adams, Of
the Senators.
Adams is a young lad who came
from the Coast League to the Sena-
tors two seasons back without any
flOurishing of trumpets or crashing Of
cymbals. He's just pretty good young
ball player and a handy man around
the infield.
Cousin Egbert Barrow said today
that the Yankees had purchased him
for cash from the Senators with no
other players involved. Griffith hated
to part with him. but he owed the
Yankees a debt of gratitude at least
for releasing Deacon Scott, Bob veach
and Alex Ferguson to them last sum
mer.
The proposed Yankee deal with the
st. Louis Browns was given a stiff
jolt by Owner Phil Ball Of st. Louis
today, and knocked as cold as polar
bears nose. Mr.. Barrow sadly dis
played a telegram from Higgins. tell
ing him Of the catastrophe. but Hug
gins came right back at Ball with an
other offer, which Mr.. Ball is now
considering.

8. A. GETS FIRST
LOOK At ICE
HOCKEY
Swift Northern Game to Be
introduced Thursday
Night.

Curiosity over a new sport is ex-
pected TO jam the ice skating rink
near San Pedro Park Thursday night.
when the Builders Exchange and Sec
ond Division ice hockey sextettes clash
in the first exhibition of the sport
ever seen in this city. After one
glimpse of the game, say its opponents.
there will be no trouble getting the
fans to turn ont second time.
Both teams number several expert
enced players. and the contest is GER
tain to be both fast and clever.
The small size of the local rink is
expected TO make the play even faster
than on the regulation hockey court.
which measures 90 by 100 feet. 1t is
safe bet that players will be piled
four or five deep on the ice after some
of the close scrimmagcs around the
goal
Temporary nets have been con-
structed at each end of the rink. The
regulation nets. by which it is easier
to ascertain when goal has been
made, are expected to arrive from New
York in time for the next game.
An unusual feature of ice hockey is
its penalty system. When the referee
detects a player in a breach of the
rules. he elects the contestant from
the game for a period of two minutes,
thus forcing the remaining members
OF the team TO play under handicap.
Two and even three players are often
removed from team at one time.

OWLS FACING 7. c. j.
IN CONFERENCE GAME

HOUSTON. Jan. 21.-R-While
the Rice Owl basket ball team, be-
cause Of its inexperience, may not fin
ish first in the conference campaign,
it is figured that Coach Asbcraft's
crew has an excellent opportunity to
halt an ambitious crew when the In
stitute five meets the II. G. L. Horned
Frogs at the city auditorium here
Thursday night.
Three conference teams have won
two and lost no games. They are Bay
lor. T. G. L. and Arkansas. The
Bears. with a sophomore team, are
not expected to surpass the other two
top quintets, who have several sea
soned stars on their squads. So the
Owls will face one Of the favored
clubs in the 4. G. L. Frogs.
Coach Matty Bell has lost but one
regular from his 1925 team-an ng-
gregatio which finished second TO the
Oklahoma Aggies in the three-cornered
struggle for the pinnacle last season.
