SAAAAAy OSA Ao ,S&4V "uN ' ASaSA~ man" arrived as per schedule in New Britain yesterday and worked out last night at the Tabs gym nasium on Main street. He is re- ported to be in the best of shape for his argument with Izzy Kaplan on Monday night.
 He will work out at the Main street gym again tonight at o'clock and again Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Many of the fight fans of the city who are interested in his work. will have the opportunity of seeing him in action there tonight and tomorrow.
 It Is reported about the state capitol in Hartford that State Ath. letic Commissioner Thomas E. Dono- hue will appoint Joseph Lawlor of Waterbury. deputy commissioner when Governor John H. Trumbull signs the bill. The appointment will be one that will be favorable to all those who are connected with boxing in this state.
 The argument which arose at the New Britain Gas Co. about who ,the fastest runner at the place is, has started something that will like ly be continued long after the spe- cial 10o-yard race is staged at Wal nut Hill park Tuesday night.
 Discussions were rife about the city last night as to which runner was the peer of them all in the city. This should give the Industrial Ath- letic Committee good item for the annual Industrial Track meet which is staged yearly at Willow Brook park. An open 100-yard dash for all the athletes in the city to de- eide the champion 1oo-yard dash man. would be a good number on the program.
 Plans for the annual track meet have been discussed frequently of late because the council plans to get an early start in order to make a great success of the affair this year.
 The Russell & Erwin team last year copped the silver cup offered t, hA ssIIarn1lb ko, hoJ session of it for the past year. The cup must be won three times in or der to be possessed permanently and the R. & E. team will be out strong again this year In an attempt to hold it.
 Baseball has been productive of developing some fast men although track running is very different from the act of circling the bases There Is Mickey Huber who Is flash on the base paths. Jervis with the Fal- cons who can run like a deer. Paul Snyder of the Corbin Red Sox and numerous others who would make a l00-yard dash an interesting event.
 Then. of course, there are the high school track men and other runners who compete in the meets about the state who would make the competition very keen in a spe- cial 1O0-yard dash open. We would like to see this made an annual af- fair.
