TUNNEY'S BLOWS
 ARE THE HARDEST
Johnny Risko Has Met Young ShiblinS and Jack Delaney

New York, March ?9 CpL-Johnny Risko. Cleveland heavyweight who scored decisive victory over tho worlds light heavyweight boxing champion, Paul Borlenbach, In a ten round bout here Friday night, says that Gene Tnnney's blows are the hardest he ever has faced. Among Risko's opponents have been Young Strioling and Jack Delaney.
 Two days before the battle Risko said that he had nothing 10 fear from Berlenbach and when he en- tered the ring he proved his conten- ton. sending him down in the first and second.
 This conquest opens the way 10 remuneratiye outdoor appearance for the Clevelander and many boxing followers predict that he will cause a stir In heavyweight ranks as he is only twenty-three and has many years Of combat ahead of him if he takes care of himself.
 "Tunney Is heavier than the others I mention and that Is where he gets his punch" Risko says. Perhaps l will meet Berlenbach again, probab- ly outdoors and I have no fear of the outcome"

The contender class Of the heavy. weight division will continue it's de- Velopment this week when Young Strlbling, the mighty man from Georgia, and Jimmy Slattery, who proved a sensation 8 year ago, get together at Madison Square Garden Thursday night.

They say that "Petey'' was so excited that he couldn't get his wind to pass by the pipes on which his heart was pound. Ing. Ills interest In the Guard Re- serves has been heightened by the fact that he has assisted Coach George Cassidy fin training some of the players on the team.
 This should give the New Britain team a good rating in state compe- tition as New Britain beat Hillhouse twice during the past season.
 The New York Herald. Tribune of yesterday in story in connection with the Brooklyn Dodgers, stated that Manager Wilbert Robinson says he will keep Merwin Jacobson. for. naer New Britain boy. as one of two regular utility outfelders. The story says of Jacobson that he is q regular fiy.hawk and an exception ally good man at bat. It appears that Jake" is destined to stay In the big show this year.

S e a kin g of Sports s

There was little choice as to the
 better game at tho state nrmory
 Saturday night, There arc many
 fans who think that the first con- test between the Burritts and tho Guard Reserves was the better of the two while others liked the sec- ond game better. but to all the fans, including those, if there were any. who lost some hard earned shekels on the outcome. both games were classics and repaid well the fans who paid their way in to see them.
 The Guards and their junior team, the Reserves, drew the first blood in the two series, but their margins of victory was nothing on which anyone can base the outcome of the three games scheduled. The Reserves won from the Burritts by one point while the Guards pulled out with q seven point lead. Tho four teams on the floor, paired against each other as they were, appeared to be two sets of evenly matched basketeers and the second games next Saturday night should be wonders If the teams keep up the spirit shown Saturday night.
 Jack Pelletier suffered sn unfor- tunate accident in the game and there were few who saw him re- ceivc the blow in the eye from someone'S elbow, that forced him 10 quit. His right eye was completely closed and swollen 10 an abnormal size, but Jack says that he has had many "shiner" in his day and he hasn't forgotten how to take care Of them. "Tedders" Kilduff also took a count of eight when he hit the benches at the west end of the floor but he was able to resume play Belser also took a bang on the head that ratued his neck for a time, but he also came back in.
 These were the only casualties and were the results of hard play ing and nothing else. There was a spirit of keen rivalry between the two teams but bad feeling was lack ing except in sporting sense. 'picN' Dillon was probably tho hardest worked man on the floor and he looked as If the first game was enough for any one referee in singlo night. He did good job of both contests and kept things going every second
 There Is talk in the air about q vollny ball match between the Y. M. (. A, and the Boys Club.

PRIMA DONNA TELLS
OF "OPRY" IN STICKS

PRIMA DONNA TELLS
OF "OPRY" IN STICKS
Mime. Cali Curci tells us in the
magazine Liberty, that grand opera
is 'ludicrous but lovely" remarked
Edith Helena. who once starred
Lucia" Madame Butterfly" and
other operas. incidentally. this
prima donna is coming to Keith's
next week, where she will be known
as Madame Ponpadour." in an
attractive singing.costume act.
CALI Curci doesn't say half OF
it, adds Mime. Helena on her ow1
account. because 1 never heard of
in the sticks, especially where they
think Of opera as something comic.
I'VE used to jam the houses
when Nine. Butterfly" was an
nounced. but could never repeat
the opera without a loss. The
populace thought it was going to
be sort Of minstrel show and were
keenly disappointed because there
wasn't dance or a funny man In
the whole thing.
"They would laugh uproariously
at 'Doro' at the most serious mo-
ment in the play where Butterfly
wants to kill him for defaming her
husband Pinkerton and her son.
zone time we had such a crowd
to hear Trovatore' that there was
perfect queue around the block.
We were surprised especially when
we learned that the reason for the
overflow was owing to the fact
''Trovato" the eccentric violinist
had been there awhide before and
they thought 'Trovatore' was his
brother. This sounds like an ex'
aggeration, but it is the absolute
truth.
another time while singing the
same opera in New Iberia, Louisi-
ana, where the boats bring in the
people from miles around, our bass
got too much liquor under his
belt. Having had long standing
dislike for the contralto he decided
to get even with her in the third
act, by wiggling the muscles of his
arms and legs. and doing a very
eccentric dance when her back was
turned and she was singing Justify
her, woes to the Duke.

THE audience screamed with de-
light and the poor woman was quite
visibly disconnected, but braveiy fin
ished the Aria and was carried off
by the soldiers as usual, with great
applause. in fact, the biggest ovation
she had ever received in all her life.
because she acted as a sort Of feeder
for the comic antics of the basso.
After the performance two
Frenchmen came out arm in arm.
My friend, said one. 1t has been
90 years since / heard 'Troyatore'
and enjoyed it very much.

Another night after the show In
Yazoo City, Fla. where the only
place to eat was in the corner drug
store. the conversation at our next
table ran thusly:
WAS you all to the opery
t'night?'
"'Yes, done heard of opery al
my life and wanted to hear what II
was like. They sure have some loud
voices, but they sang and they SANG
