One criticism We have TO make Of |
Ializ"wski is his fault in talking 70 !
Tho referee. This, however. shows |
that he is in the game all the time !
and always fighting TO win.
Ono OF the biggest sensations in J
he fight ranks to take place in New I;
York, occurred last night when tho /
New York state cold Gloves" anna
tour championships We're decided at |
Madison Square Garden.
The Garden was packed with en- /
thusiastic rooters but more than .
1000 prospective fans were turned
away. Local men who attended the |
listic dish reported that most of the .
ontries We're mere novices and the
bouts failed TO even approach the
standard set by Connecticut hattlers
in the tournaments conducted in this
city and in Hartford.
The Garden was sold out entirely
before s o'clock and police reserves ,
were called out to clear the streets
in the vicinity Of the arena so that
hose who had made their reserva-
lions. could get into the huge hall.
Almost every week the same con-
tition exists in Hartford with re-
gard to turning people away from
Foot Guard hall. The numbers. of
course are nowhere near as large as
in New York but at least COO fans
are turned away every week in Hart
lord.
Adam Sullick. who has cavorted on
New Britain baseball diamonds for
the past few years. left last night for
kinston, n. c., whore he VIII be
given tryout with the Virginia lea
que entry there.
There isn't any reason at all why
Sullick. with an ordinary break of
luck. shouldn't make the grade. 1t
is certain thing that all of the
fans in this city will be pulling for
him.
He was given the chance to break
into league baseball through the
good offices of Frank (Chuck) Wo-
Jack who has decided 70 remain at
home this year. Frank was offered Il
place on tho team but turned it
down. The manager of the south
"rn team, however, spoke in his let
ter OF a vacant place in his catch
ing department and Woiack immedi-
atcly recommended Sullick.
Those who watched the local boy
working with both the Falcons, two
years ago and the kensington team
last year. feel that he will have no
difficulty at all in getting a regular s
berth with the kinston team.
Johnny Clinch, ACC of local anna
tour boxers. will be ready to return
10 the ring in about two weeks, it is
reported from his camp. Johnny
broke his thumb in bout with Ray
Hall Of Hartford a few weeks ago
and the member has had to have
plenty Of time to get healed and
