 Club Promoters

Joe harcustry of Webster, manager of Sunny Mays. ITO. boxer wants t known that his boy is not afraid to meet any boxer at his weight in these here New England states. Sunny has made two appearances in Putnam. The first time he lasted a few seconds when he was dropped for the count. He was not then under the wing of Manager Marcustry His second appearance he earned a decision.
 Manager Marcustry called the sporting editor of The Patriot Monday morning and wanted it distinctly un- der>tood that Sunny was not to ap- pear on the card of the Putnam Ath- letIe Club tonight He stated that averturcs had been made to have Sun ny 20 on. but that the notice was al- together too short

 One of the promoters of the Putnam club vas asked ahow come" in regard to Sunny Mays The Patriot sporting editor got another earful IL seems. from inc point of view of the local pro moters. they are not satisfied at the way sunny was managed at his last appearance Not that the colored box CT did not give good exhibition, but thgy claim that before his manager would let him 20 on a slight increase ir the prize award had to be made, and ,ather than disaproint the fans 1t was il ada But never again, IS the attl- ssd the promoters, who claim that sunny was in Putnam over the week end and was at that time willing to go oH if he was wanted.

One of the best. if not the most ex- citing game Of the season. took place when the Putnam High quintet met their old rivals. killuEly. on the Put nam floor
 The game had hardly started when Domlnick Bove. Putnams crack shot. shot a basket, which was closely foi- lowed by basket for killingly. Neither team got ahead of the other by more than four points at any time during the game. The explanation to this Is that the teams were evenly matched
 Honors were divided evenly among the Putnam boys, but Dominick Bove scored most of the points Barrett. the killingly center, did some fine work for his team.
 There was larger crowd al this game than al any other game this season Both kilingly people and Putnam people showed excellent school spirit by their cheers and shouts

Haven't Lost Game In Elks-Masons
 Tournament

The Elks won hy margin of one point iu the weekly indoor sports con test at the Masonic Club Monday eve ming. The entertainment committee served ice cream and cake.
 As the tournament draws to close there is no hope for the Masans to win but tho contests have furnished se much amusement that, notWithstand= ing every player was out to win, the result was really a secondary matter. The last two evenings have been pret- tv warm in crowded club rooms, and whisperings that the tournament 's soon to be brought to a close may be brought to a close may be heard. There is no doubt that another tournament will be held next fall
 One of the outstanding features of n contest is the fact that George Lewis and Omer Milot have not lost r7rine all of the sessions. There are whisperings of Lady Luck hanging to tham every Monday night, but the pair of bridge artists just smile, make their b'ds. play the cards. and chalk up an other win
 The result Monday night:

'McLarnin Given
Draw Decision

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 90
While Jimmy McLarnin was given
draw by Referee Bob Johnson in
his 10 round open air fight yester-
day, his opponent, Tommy Cello,
San Francisco, Italian, today ap-
peared to be the favorite of the
two.
Most observers thought the de-
cision fair enough. They thought
Cello had a bit the best of the fra
cas-, though not enough to earn him
a decision. Action was lacking in
the first eight rounds but Cello
opened up with everything he had
in the ninth. McLarnin S aggres-
siveness in the tenth earned him the
draw.
Gig Rooney, manager for
Jackie Fields, crack Los Angeles
lightweight today was attempting
to match Young Cello for bout
with Fields in Los Angeles. Both
Cello and McLarnin now claim the
right to meet Tod Morgan, junior
lightweight champion.

SPORT NEWS SECTION

, last, because so many changes have
been made in both the American
and National leagues that 1926
form and figures cannot be applied
accurately.
The New York Giants and the
Philadelphia Athletics are getting
serious attention.
John McGraw has made changes
in the team since it flopped into
the second division last year and
there is no doubt that he wants to
celebrate his 25th anniversary as
manager of the club by winning a
pennant.
But there are other clubs in the
league that will be decidedly in the
running.
The st. Louis Cardinals won the
pennant last year in the National
League and the Cincinnati Reds
were only two games in the rear.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have a
strong club and SO have the Chi
cago Cubs.
Weak in Batteries
The Giants, McGraw believes,
will be stronger with Rogers Horns
by on second base and with Eddie
Roush playing center field. The club
is not too plentifully supplied with
battery material. However, Burlcigh
Grimes may have a good season, but
he is well along in years. McGraw
is understood to be still after
Adolfo Luquc, Cuban star with the
Cincinnati Reds.
If Connie Mack hadn't busted
himself so much since the world s
series in rcvamping the Athletics,
the champion New York Yankees
probably would have started the
season as the favoritc to win. The
Athletics probably will carry the
smart money.
Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins and Zach
Wheat have the experience and the
class to fit III for at least one good
year on Il team that has been lack
ing in balance.
The Cleveland Indians after the
good race they made last season,
cannot be ruled out of the battle
with "A wave of the hand.
If there is a:.y upset in the Ame-
ljcan league as there was last year
when the Yankees ran away with
the pennant, it may be supplied by
the Detroit Tigers
A great many smart baseball men
think that in all the excitement
the Tigers have been under-esti-
mated and that they are one of the
most dang Gus clubs in the league.
