RED SOX TO PLAY AETNA
FIRE TEAM OF HARTFORD
John Tobin's Charges To Clash With
Capital City Team Wednesday
Evening.

An announcement that will come
as a distinct surprise to many base
ball fans in the city has been made
today by John Tobin, manager of
the Corbin Red Sox. The SoX will
play hosts to the Aetna Fire baseball
team of Hartford at Willow Brook
park, Wednesday evening, July 2S.
The game will start at 6:15 o'clock.
This will be the first opportunity
that the majority of local baseball
fans have had TO watch the Corbin
Red SoX in action and it goes with
out question that there will be a
large crowd on hand to watch the
contest. Captain Macdonald of the
Insurance nine promises Manager
Tobin that he will have the strong
est lineup available here for the
game and as the Aetna team is high
in the standing of the Hartford In
surance league, a real good game is
promised.
Manager Tobin also expects to trot
out his best combinations. He will
not use just one man in the box but
plans to send in everyone who has
played with the team this season so
that the home town fans will have
chance to size up all the players on
the Red SoX roster.
The Sox will go to New London
Sunday to meet the Standard Oil
team there. This will make the
fourth trip the local team has made
to the Whaling City or its vicinity
and this alone attests to the popu-
larity of the team there.

CHANDLER TO FACE
TILDEN ON COURTS
Semi-FinalS Of LonSWOOd Bowl
Singles Being Played Today

Brookline, Mass, July % LP -
William T. (Big BilD Tilden of
Philadelphia, ruler of the tennis
courts for the past six years, and
Edward G. Chandler, intercollegiate
champion from California, were
pitted against each other today in
the semi finals of the saith annual
Longwood bowl singles tournament.
Tilden, whose tennis obituary has
been written more than once in re-
cent years by premature prophets
of disaster. had come through by
virtue of one of the most dazzling
displays of speed and stroking ever
seen here to beat lisa Toba, Jap
anese Davis cup star.
Chandler entered the semi finals
after win over Berkeley Bell OF
Austin, Tex. that had not a few
spectacular moments. The young
ster from Texas wilted, however,
under a sun that sent the tempera-
ture well up to 100 and Chandler
conquered.
The other semi final will be play
ed tomorrow and will see Takeichi
Harada, last OF the three Japanese
threats to remain in the tourna-
ment, facing Lewis N. White, sturdy
Texan. Harada beat Bradshaw
Harrison of San Francisco in
straight sets yesterday while White
downed Sekio Harada only after a
see-saw battle that went five sets.
The excessive heat which yester-
day made the courts of the Long
wood Cricket club as arid as desert
sands promised to Inconvenience
players again today as it continued
without indication of cessation. No
upsets of consequence have charac-
terized either the mems doubles or
the women's invitation singles be-
ing played in conjunction with the
bowl singles.

MULDOON IS PEEVED AT

Says That Body Ought To Be
Ashamed of Itself For Barring
Fight In New York.

New York, July 20 P}-"I think
such a commission ought TO be
ashamed OF itself and ] am heartily
ashamed of being a member of it."
These were the words of William
l.. Muldoon of the New York state
athletic commission when informed
that Tex Richard had named Chica-
go the scene of the heavyweight
championship boxing contest be.
tween Jack Dempsey and Gene Tun.
ney. Muldoon had fought all alone
to have the bout brought to New
York but had been outvoted by his
colleagues, Chairman James A. Far
ley and George Brewer.
Muldoon expressed doubt that any
action such as revoking his Madison
Square Garden license, would be
taken against Richard here.
What action could be taken any,
Way?" he asked. 1t seems to me
the only action that ought to be
taken is one by the public against a
boxing commission that would drive
such a fight out of the state. The
loss of this fight will cost New York
something like 100000 in revenue,
not to mention the thousands of dol
lars more lost to business interests"
II said that Dempsey and Tunney
would not fight here and you will
have to admit l was right" said
Chairman Farley.

Eddie Huffman will get a crack
at Tiger Flowers, middleweight
champion, when the pair clash or
the Pacific coast, July 24-but
Eddie won't get shot at the title
for the simple and perfectly good
reason the crown won't be at stake.
The boys are coming in at catch
weights.
Huffman, affectionately referred
to as Sailor Eddie" Che gained
much of his ring experience in the
navy, has been fighting profession
ally for the last three years.
During that time he has hung up
quite a formidable record, having
met and defeated such pugs as
Floyd Johnson, Bert Colima, Jimmy
Delaney, Bob Roper and Tony
Fuente. No topnotchers to be sure,
but fairly good stepping-stones.
What Huffman will accomplish
against the Georgia Deacon" is a
matter OF conjecture. If the Tiger
is 'up to snuff there should be
little to the outcome except gal
lop for the colored man. But"
as the traffic cop once remarked,
you never can tell just what they'll
do"

FUGAzY A LEADING
figure IN SPORTS
Fight Promoter Has Had Varied
Experience During His Career

BY the Associated Press
New York. July Prom the
youthful battle-ground Of life on the
sidewalks of New York and a
career, since then, rich in variety
of experience, Humbert J. Fugazy
has stepped into a role of conf
handing importance in the metro
politan boxing world.
First as a boxer of more than
ordinary ability, then as manager
of two worlds light weight cham
pions, Fugazy gained a background
of thorough knowledge Of tistic af-
fairs. Later his father, as a the
atrical magnate and political power
in Greenwich Village-where, like
his boyhood chum, Mayor Jimmy
Walker, he spent his early days--he
acquired wide experience in hand
ling men and affairs.
1t is the combination Of all this
experience that finds expression
now In Fugazy's showmanship, his
establishment as a nationally known
boxing promoter after only years
time-in fact so firmly that today
observers point to him as the only
real rival Tex Richard has had since
the Madison Square Garden pro-
moter began monopolizing boxing's
big business here.
Fugazy's first venture, the Italian
hospital fund show a year ago
,,,1,i ol, "a
Slattery Shade fights, put him In the
limelight overnight. His latest show,
the Delaney-Berlenba title bout
at Ebbets field, for which he outbid
Richard, ranks among the first half
dozen in the list of biggest money
cards in ring history. 1t drew near
ly a half-million dollar gate"
More than two decades ago, I'M
der the name Of Jack Lee" Fuga-
zy fought many of the great light
weights. He was at the height of
his career in 1904 and 1905.
One of his most picturesque en-
gagements was with Willie Hosey,
pride of Albany, n. Y, in an old
oyster scow moored in the Hudson,
hired for the occasion by 800 fight
fans. Fugazy won by knockout
in the first round.
Later he knocked out Kid Broad,
a noted ring figure at that time, but
soon afterward he was persuaded by
his father to give up fighting.
My father warned me it would
be only a question of time before
got mine" FugaZy said. 80 I
listened to his counsel. But l
couldn't keep out of the game alto
gether so l continued as trainer and
manager"
The most successful product of
Fugazy's early coaching was Freddy
Welsh. lightweight champion from
1913 to 1917. Welsh was working
as a porter in a hotel adjoining the
Fugazy bank when Humbert no.
ticed it, took him in tow and de-
veloped him into one of the clever
est men of his weight in ring his
tory.
Fugazy later piloted another
fighter to the lightweight title
Jimmy Goodrich. Buffalo boy who
won a tournament held here to de-
termine successor to Benny
Leonard, the man who had taken
the crown from Welsh. Goodrich
lost the title to Rocky Kansas.

despite themselves. Ted Blanken-
ship beat the Yankees in the open
ing test, 4 to 8, the New York scores
coming from Babe Ruth's 29th
home run in the first inning with
two men on the bases. The other
White Sox, Ted Lyons, was unable
to hold them in the second game
after relieving the faltering Big Jim
Edwards. Lyons walked two with
the bases jammed. The Yankees
won to 4.
Cleveland piled up six runs in the
ninth to turn back the Athletics, 3
to O. Howard Ehmke held the In
dams to three hits for eight frames,
but gave way when the attack came
in the ninth.
Twelve safeties. three by the
leagues leading hitter, Fothergill,

in the second, his mates giving him
seven runs in the first two innings.

CHURCH LEAGUE GAMES
All Three Leaders Scheduled To
Play In Games Tonight That May
Prove Disastrous.

All three leaders in the Inter
Church league are scheduled tonight
in games which may prove disas-
trous for them. The Trinity Metho-
dists, clinging on to third place,
meet the South church, which is
dangerous when at full strength but
can seldom mobilize its force; the
Methodists, however play far
from brilliant but a very steady
game and are always dangerous. The
Blue Army, playing great ball in one
game and far from it in the next,
will be the opponent of the st. Mat
thews Lutherans and the league
will be solidly behind the Bluebirds
in their attempt TO haul down the
leaders, who have been travelling
too fast for the comfort of the other
teams. The Stanley Memorial team,
which appears to have the best
chance of overhauling the st. Mats,
will meet Kensington, which has
recently been playing great ball for
a taiIender and should give the run
ners-up plenty of trouble.

PIRATES Win GAME
FROM west ENDS
Catch BurrittS by Victory in
Replayal Of Tie Game
City League Standing

The Pirates went into a tie with
the Burritts in the City league race
by virtue of their 6-2 win over the
West Ends at Walnut Hill park last
evening, the game being called by
Umpire Lynch in the last of the
sixth inning because of darkness.
The contest was a replayal of that
of July 10, which was stopped by
rain with the score tied at 3-3. and
a good crowd which braved the heat
was treated to plenty of thrills.
Both teams travelled in high, with
the pitchers outshining their mates
with more than capable perform
Iances
The dash displayed by the youth
full Pirates proved too much for the
veterans in the West End lineup
and gave the younger team the VIC
tory. The losers secured one hit
more than the winners but could not
bunch their bingles so effectively,
while the hitting on neither side was
heavy.
The West Ends scored In their
first turn at bat, Basil reaching first
on an error and scoring on a line
drive through the infield. The Pirates
Immediately got this back when Nc
Aloon doubled and scored on Chick
Charlow's single into right field Jen-
mis- single handed sent the older
team team ahead again in the third
when he pounded out a long home
run, but again the Pirates fought
back and tied things once more
when McAloon was safe on an error
and rode home on Zapatka's two
base hit.
In the fourth inning Jennis, who.
besides getting his home run. had
been pitching nice ball in spite of
cratic support, lost control and
forced in a run with a free ticket
after filling the bases. Given the
lead, the Pirates gained confidence
and rallied sharply, driving in three
more runs and forcing Jennis to
give way to Cormier. The fifth in
ming was scoreless, the West Ends
did nothing in the sixth, and then it
was too dark to continue.
Hogan Carlson pitched nice ball
for the Pirates, issuing no passes,
and there were no sustained rallies
made off him. Jennis was undone
by errors at critical moments and
by his own wildness. Pete Zapatka
continued his terrific hitting for the
Pirates, while McAloon scored three
