JIMMY CLINCH IS
 VICTOR IN BOUT
Local Boy Wins First Pro Fight , by a Wide Margin
- ~s--s- @--------

Jimmy Clinch stepped out in the role of professional fighter last night for he first time at the Hart ford veloo ome and his work was so good and his mastery over his op- ponent, Bill Cunningham, was so overwhelming that there wasn't any thing to be said but that he won his first battle with a big margin to spare. Jimmy shows great deal of improvement over his amateur ap- pearances and critics who sat at the ringside last night predict that he will make a pleasing performer for the boys who follow the fight game.
 His work against Cunningham of Hartford last night was revelation to those who have been following him in his march up the ladder and if he can keep up his good work. 1t won't be long until he is meeting the boys in his class who are considered His two listed attack last night was snappy and he is punching hard. Had he been sue cessful in landing few well aimed blows in the third, Cunningham would most probably have been put to sleep. As it was, even though the majority of the fans were favoring Cunningham, the home town boy the decision brought no protests from the gallery critics.
 "Jiggers" Mccarthy of New Ha- ven rendered two very unpopular decisions in two of the fights last night. He awarded Emil Paluso the victory over Dark Cloud Ruby Bradley of Holyoke after ten slash ing rounds and although it seemed to the ringside and to the rest or the small house assembled that Bradley was away ahead, the deci- sion went against him. The crowd booed so loudly and long that the announcer was unable to give out the dope on the next bout.
 In the final, while it seemed that Lou Paluso had hit Mike Dundee five to one and had used the cleaner blows while making his opponent miss frequently, Referee Mccarthy brought a shower of disapproval down on him by ruling that Dundee had won.
 In the other bout, Erwin Bige of Nebraska knocked out Joe Tiplitz Tn exactly 56 seconds of the first round. Bige went after Tiplitz and landed a bone crusher on his opponents chin and Tiplitz failed to respond to treatment for fully five minutes after if was all over. The fight ended so quickly that it wasn't any fight. Two blows were landed, both catching Tiplitz on the jaw and the second set the birdies singing

BATTLE IS ON FOR
 HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT
(continued from preceding page)

The champion at Saratoga and Tun- ney probably at Lake Pleasant, N. Y.
 Chicago, July 2S. Pl-The Illinois boxing commission. silent while two promoters were busily arranging for Jack Dempsey's defense of his title here in September, has settled what remains of the controversy by an- nouncing that there will be no heavyweight fight in Chicago under anybody's manager.
 The commission believes that heavyweight fights do not fit into the picture in Illinois, that $1O is enough to pay for any kind of a fight ticket, and that s15 is the ab- solute top. When the Dempsey ne- gotiations were in progress here a $50 top was talked of
 Chairman 0. w. Huncke described heavyweight fights as "mussy af- fairs" and generally brutal.
 I've do not interpret the law to call for a spectacle of that kind" he said. I've aim to regulate box ing so that it will be a sport at which ladies may attend. We do not think heavyweight fights would provide such sport.
 With regard to the Dempsey Tun- ney and Wills fights, we have no information officially Neither Tex Rickard Nor B, c. Clements thought of consulting this commission in the matter.
 "We have read that Dempsey and one of his opponents were guaran- teed s1.100,O00 by one promoter and s60o,0OO by another. Other ex- penses would add to the totals. That money would not be invested in Illinois. It would be taken out of the state and not one person with in the state would derive any bene- fit from it.
 We do not feel there is pro- moter, and this includes Rickard, who could put over a show of this magnitude, and eliminate all chances of an aftermath that would be highly disastrous to the sport we have sworn to protect and regulate"
 Huncke said the commission had been asked several times to sanction ticket prices ranging from $3 to S20.
 Tt is the commissions opinion that $20 is entirely too much to be invested in fight ticket. We have good shows with prices ranging from s1 to sS, from $2 to s7 and from $2 to s10. We fail to see show any other promoters can give the public who are the ones to be considered, any better shows for a greater in- yestment on single tickets"

LOSE
 ID FAFNIR TEAM
Bearing Makers Stage Uphill
 Struggle for Victory

Fafnir won a hard fought uphill battle from the Newmatics at Will low Brook pary last night by the score of 6 to 4. The losers snatch ed three run lead in the second inning but the winners whittled it down gradually and stepped into the lead in the sixth when they pushed three runs over, The game was call- ed on account of darkness with two out in the last half of the eighth inning after Fafnir had scored four more runs and had two men on the bases.
 With the exception of the first two innings when the Newmatics did all their scoring. Keehner did some splendid pitching and prevented them from even threatening during the remainder of the game. In the first inning he was nicked for two runs after two were out. Ernest Anderson and Krauss had got pass les in this inning, while Ryan and Patterson were being put out. Keeh- .ner helped them up base with a wild pitch from which positions they scored when Cosgrove singled The latter went to second on the throw to the plate and counted when Eric Anderson connected for a single.
 After Fafnir pushed one run over in the last half of the opening in ming on a pass to Ferguson and singles by O'Brien and Kania the .Newmatics came back in the open ing of the second and scored what proved to be their last run. Main .ello was hit by pitched ball. He went to third on Avery's single to right and scored on an infield out
 Fafnirs failed to count in the second or third but registered once in the fourth when Keehner opened the inning with a slashing triple down the first base line and scored lon Ferguson's single. The next in- ming produced another run for the winners when Elton whaled double to left to open the stanza and romp- ed home when Paulson connected with a single.
 The winners tucked the game away in the sixth when they pushed three men around. Keehner opened with a single and Ferguson walked. Jim O'Brien amazed the crowd at this point when he sent screaching triple to left center, scoring his two mates. He scored himself when Kania got one base blow to left.
 Kania's ,all-around playing was the outstanding point of the game, although the hitting of Keehner and great running catch by Paulson were also worthy of praise. The score:
