AMATEUR RULES
TO Be ENFORCED
There Are No Simon PurS in the
State, Donohue Says

Hartford. Feb. IS UP)-'F'rank-
ly. don't believe there's an anna
teur boxer in Connecticut, outside
schools and colleges-but there will
be pretty soon or We'll know why"
That's the way State Athletic
Commissioner Thomas T.. Donohue
sizes up the amateur boxing situa-
ton In Connecticut as he starts to
work on his new job. just conferred
by the general assembly. Of super
vising the amateur fighters.
"They aren't amateurs: they're
pros. fighting under the guise OF
amateurs. and I have proof of what
I say" Donohue told the United
i'ress today.
1.-THE promoters have been getting
away with lot since the A. A. L.
went on the rocks on account of pro-
fessionalism in the amateurs but il
has got to stop now" the commits
sioner warned.
"We're working slowly on this
thing because it's new. but action
may be expected soon." he asserted.
Donohue said he planned to hold
an open meeting of everyone in the
state interested in amateur boxing
next week. 10 discuss policy and pro-
cedurc. Since the bill just passed
does not provide for deputies. the
present deputies who supervise pro-
fessional bouts will serve.
~ welcome suggestions" Donohue
said. ~ want lots of help"
Commissioner Donohue said he
believed the first evil to eradicate
was that Of too many cards.
TOO many bouts are being held"
he said. 'There aren't enough am
ateurs in Connecticut to hold cards
every week SO the promoters are
bringing in professional amateurs
from New York and New Jersey and
have proof they are taking money
in violation of amateur ethics.
They'd better watch their step"
warned the new Car of the anna
teurs.
Placing of amateur boxing under
state control was the last of series
of events that followed the death Of
Horace Aleff. Meriden amateur. after
Il Bridgeport bout. At the coroner's
inquest astonishing conditions in the
sport were revealed. The State A.
A. L. went to pieces in an attempt to
clean up the sport. Finally it was

including boxing. which has -four

PHANTOMS WILL PLAY
IN TAUNTON SATURDAY
Local Basketball Team to Meet Bay
State Boys Club Quintet
This Week.End.

The Phantoms basketball team,
will invade Massachusetts, Saturday
evening to play the Taunton Boys
club. The game will get under way
at O'Clock at the Taunton club
gym. The locals will leave at noon
for the Bay State with a squad of
eight players and two coaches.
The Phantoms will have tough
session as the Taunton team is rat
ed on par with the Boston Boys
club, the team that appeared here
against the local Boys club the past
few years. The Bay Staters are the
only club team in New England to
win the Boys club Federation bas-
ketball tournament for two success
sive years and have their pictures in
the Basketball Yearbook. Among
the teams they have defeated this
year are the Portland. Me-, Boys
club. the Boston Boys club and the
Boys club of Chelsea. Mass.
Due TO the strength OF the Taun-
ton quintet Manager E. Buchas of
the local outfit is taking absolutely
no chances and has announced that
the first string lineup OF the Phan-
toms will start the game. Captain
Cohen will hold down his usual po-
sition at right forward. Crane will be
at left forward. Alden Hewett will
play the pivot position, Yanko~itz
and Truman will cover the back
court. Manager Buchas will be in
uniform and the chances are that he
will see action.
1t was learned last evening that
John "Whippet" Carr for the past
three seasons-pnc of the mainstays
of the team and one of its original
members. was given his release by
the Phantom management. 1t Is
underst God that breaking of training
rules caused the management TO
take this unfortunate move. Lefty
Truman. diminutive forward of the
Reserve team will fill in for the re-
mainder of the season.

Round Eight
The bouncing babies went back to
left jabbing at long range despite
the catcalis. Both seemed to have
tremendous professional respect for
each other, and any blows that
might have caused damage were
carefully blocked or parted. There
was a brief furry along the ropes
but Sharkey missed a half dozen
lefts. AS they broke into the open
again Jack tried to pummel the
Georgian's body but Stribling
bounced away. Another warning
from Magnolia and very impress
sively Magnolia tore them apart in
a clinch and waved for Stribling to
stay above the belt There was less

out.
Round Nine
Sharkey tried hard to get in close
and when he stung Stribling with a
solid right to the body stribling
fought back with a volley that pitch
ed Sharkey again into the ropes.
They wrestled and heaved around
the ring in light embrace but as
they broke into the clear again
Stribling smashed a beautiful left
hook and sent a right to Sharkey's
chin. Jack broke way but Strib-
ling chased him and nearly put him
on the floor with another left to the
head. Sharkey fought back with a
barrage Of punches but never touched
the elusive southerner. As they
came to close quarters Strihling tried
a left hook in the northcrner's body
and had him slowed and back
pedalling when the bell sounded.

There were more warnings for the
fighters from the referee before the
gong opened the last round. They

fought right back. mailing Sharkey
with two cutting left hooks to the
pit Of the stomach. Again they
boxed until Sharkey loosed a long
