Especial to the Kennebec Journal)
Portland, May 11.-Newport john
ny Brown, fighting his first battle
under the management of Johnny
Buckley of Cambridge, won the
newspaper verdict over Johnny Soul
ly of South Boston in a smashing
six round battle at the Arena to-
night. Brown out-scored Scully in
four rounds by wide margins, al
though the South Boston lad by his
spectacular rallies kept the fans on
edge, and made the milling hectic
from start to finish. Scully made
a great finish. and carried the last
round by a shade. Bobby Jones of
this city knocked out Johnny Bar
rett of Cambridge, Mass, in the
second round after Barrett had out
boxed him in the opening stanza.
Young Chase of Biddeford out
slugged Pat ConIey of Portland in

Strike to Hinder
GOlfng Program of
Walker CUP Team

London, May 11.-(P)-The Ameri-
can Walker cup team, which is
scheduled to arrive on the Aqui-
tania this afternoon will find their
first weeks golfing program shot to
pieces by the general strike, but as
yet there are no indications of a
postponement of the big event of
their trip-the international team
matches at st. Andrews June and
8.
Golfing authorities feel that even If
the strike should last until June the
railways and generals life of the
country will have been restored to
normal conditions and that the
matches will be played, although the
British team may be weakened by
the loss of men engaged in various
national emergency services.
The match between Francis Out
met, Bobbie Jones and Abe Mitchell
and George Duncan, which has been
scheduled for Thursday on the
Midsurrey Club course, has been
postponed. 1t was to have been the
first match of the American golfers
and was to have been played for
the Prince of Wales hospital fund.
The amateur competition for the ST.
georges CHdilelSe cup DIT cdIuWlCu
May 10 also has been abandoned.
Ouimet won this trophy in 1923.
1t is likely that the matches sched-
uled against Oxford and Cambridge
will be called off, since the univer-
sity men are heaving coal at the
docks and running railway trains
and buses instead of swinging nib
ticks. If the strike lasts many days
longer the British amateur compe-
tition, scheduled for May "a to %,
will be postponed because most of
the entries are engaged in national
services. The big events. however,
are not likely to be affected.
