LEGION TEAM STARTS
MANUEL QU1N7ER0
 DEFEATS KAPLAN
Speedy Spaniard Takes Six
 Rounds in 1O.Round Bout

New Haven. July (UP)-Fisht- ing to regain some of the prestige that was his when he was feather weight champion of the world. Louis (Kid) Kaplan. veteran pride of the Connecticut ring. went down to de- feat before young Manuel Quintero of Tampa, Fla, in their 10-round bout at White City stadium last night.
 The speedy Spaniard took six rounds. Two were Kaplan's. Two were even.
 Considerably taller and with . much longer reach. Quintero out weighed the Meriden boxer by only one and three-quarters pounds. Rap Ian weighed 133.
 A stiff right that stood Kaplan off and devastating left hook that met him whenever he attempted to close were Quintero's greatest weapons. A less sturdy fighter than Kaplan would have withered before that left.
 Throughout the battle, the Con- necticut man was the a0gressor. He continued to bore in from the open ing bell to the final moment, but he only succeeded to taking gloves.
 In the first round, the flail-like arms of Kaplan broke through the Spaniard's defense and Quintero went down for short count. He was not hurt. The blow was more of a push than a punch.
 The odds had been three to one on Kaplan despite the fact Quintero took the decision In their first meet ing at Madison Square Garden.
 In the eight-round semi-final Georgie Day of New Haven defeated Irish Jimmy Kelley of New York. Steve smith of Bridgeport uninten- tionally fouled Al Tripoli of Yonk- CTS, N. r., in the first round of their scheduled eight-round match and Tripoli was given the decision.
 Tony Leto, a member of Quin- tero's camp. won . one-sided contest from Jules Sombardy of Bridgeport in eight rounds. Baby Doll of Waterbury defeated Al Irving of New York in six rounds.

 Capodice and Herman Schmarr worked in the box for the Legion. Capodice went along in nice shape for three innings, but four run rally in the fourth caused the SOS. to be sent out for Herman. He fin- ished the game with flying colors. C. Meligonis went the entire route for the "" team and he did an cNcel- lent piece of work in the box. His support was at times cratic and had not the Legion team got it's start early, there isn't any doubt but that he would have won his game.
 The Legion hit it's stride in the third when a double followed by walk and single coupled with an other double and a single gave the team four runs. It continued the rally in the fourth when two singles and ar error in center field enabled the team to score two more.

BR0OKES.WILBURN TEAM IS BEATEN
Argentine Pair Defeats Strange
 English Tennis Tieup

Wimbledon, Eng, July 3 R1The Norman Brookes- Wilburn Coen dou- tles combination. eliminated from the British championships by the Argentine pair of w. Robson and Ronald Boyd yesterday. was one of the strangest and at the same time most attractive tie-ups of tennis talent Britain has seen in the more than a half century of championship play at Wimbledon.
 The great Australian. now 50 years old. won the Wimbledon sim sles title before the Kansas City youth was born. Brookes is con- sidered one of the finest tennis strategists alive although passing years have taken some of the power from his game. Despite his years he stll plays a great game and holds his own in the doubles. It was at the request of Big Bill Tilden that Brookes took Coen into partnership with him just to give the American lad the benefit of his experience. They won three matches before they were eliminated.
 Play in the mems and women's singles had reached the semi-f1nal round today with three Americans still in the running.
 Tilden, fresh from a four-set vjc- tory over Jean Borotra, will face Rene Lacoste. If Tilden can beat Lacoste he will meet either Henri Cochet or Christian Boussus in the finals on Saturday. Cochet beat Big Bill In the semi-f1nals last year and then captured the championship with victory over Borotra. His de- feat of John Hennessey in the quar- ter finals yesterday. indicates Cochet is in shape. Lacoste advanced to the semi-finals by eliminating the Italian Davis cup star. Baron H. l.. De Morpurgo. Boussus reached the select four by defeating his coun- tryman. Jacques Brugnon.
 Helen Wills, decided favorite to retain her woman's singles crown, has reached the semi-final round along with her fellow Californian, Elizabeth Ryan. who now lives in England: Daphne Akhurst, of Aus tralia, and Senorita De Alvarez of Spain. The semi-fnals will match Miss Wills with Miss Ryan and Miss Akhurst and Senorita De Alvarez.
