FREEMAN IS NEW | WELTER CHAMPION!
Arkansas BuZzSaW Given De-
 CiSion Over Jack Thompson j

Cleveland, Sept. 6 LP - They're hailing Tommy Freeman. the Arr kansas Buzzsaw, as welterweight champion of the world today.
 After nine long, tough years of fighting, Freeman won the title last night from Young Jack Thompson of Oakland. Cal, in a IS round battle fought in League park. Patsy Haley, of New York, referee of the bout, unhesitatingly raised Freemans s hand in victory. Haley figured Free man won eight of the l 5 rounds with five going to the dethroned title holder and two being even.
 Freeman, knocked down for count of six in the second round and with his knees buckling from a right to the chin in the tenth. came back to defeat the Negro titleholder in his first defense of the title since he won it from Jackie Fields in Detroit just four months ago.
 A crowd of 15,Ooo agreed with nOlcl SC 3 ueSlolOl- HS SpSt- tators, first stunned at the change in the championship, suddenly cut loose with a deafening roar in ap- proval of the verdict. Thompson seemed the most surprised man in the ball park, but he made no pro- test.
 ''I think the decision was fair" he 1 ebA AZ losing. Its all in the breaks of the game. I hope Freeman will give me another chance and that he will be a creditable champion
 Freeman won the title because of his ability to outbox the champion, who missed more punches last night | than he ever missed in his life. Thompson complained as early as the tenth round that his hands were sore, but he did not offer tfis as an alibi.
 Freeman boxed and jabbed as he never boxed and jabbed before and he caused the champion by skilful feinting to miss repeatedly. Only the second, fifth. eighth and tenth rounds were Thompson's by a clear margin. After the 11th, he appeared to tire and fade rapidly From the 18th round on Thompson staked his all on a right hand punch that never did reach it's mark. Meanwhile Freeman kept on ripping into him always in close, 'to inflict body pun. ishment or to spear him with heavy left hands to the head.
 Freeman is just 26 years old anc has been fighting for nine years. H. was born in Hot Springs on Janu ary P, 1904. He is a rugged young ster with shock of pompadour hail and smiling Irish eyes. He promises to be a fighting champion.

Jefferson Davis Dickson, as you may have guessed, is a big man. from the south. Inasmuch as Amer ican fight fans are about to receive the blessing of hearing about heavy weight championship prize fights be- ing held in Europe, Jefferson Davis Dickson becomes an important per son. Jefferson Davis Dickson knows all about that, too; no one has to tell him.
 Dickson is from Natchez, Miss. and when he came out of the south some years ago, he not only had a big cigar in his mouth but q few we'll chosen 75-cent words on any subject you cared to mention. After the war, he remained in Paris, start ing to promote fights in a small way at one of the boxing clubs. Step by step he promoted himself and his bouts in the public favor, until he branched out in London and reach ed the dignity of being called "the Tex Rickard of Europe"
 Dickson, as a promoter, gave the world Primo Camera. but atoned for that in measure by removing from the picture Philip Pholding Scott. It was under Dickson's aus pices that Camera got his first big shots-the two battle against Will Stribling, both of which ended in l dro ,,,o fn,11c "a also the bout in which Strib erased from the sheet the Phainting Phire- man.
 If Schmeling fights in Europe dur ing the winter, as it is planned, the bouts no doubt will be engineered by came to America, for the purpose, it is said, of collecting some of the in- terest that has been piling up on a chattle known as Camera Dickson, the story is. owns tidy acre or so of the Italian Alp.
 Dickson was quoted in New York as saying that Schmeling had decid- ed to remain in Europe to fight be- cause he had not been pleased with his treatment at the hands of Amer ican fight followers. But of course he was misquoted. as pointed out by Joe Jacobs, American manager of the Teuton offer.
 Several of the New York news paper boys grabbed the tidings that MaXie was mad at us and made con- siderable copy of it. When Jacobs read the pieces. he hastened to Dick son and after a short conference Jeff and Joe agreed that surely Jeff must have been misquoted.
 It was all explained to the scribes just as smoothly and convincingly as your old man clears up the mystery of his belated toll until 3:15 a. m after the office seven times had re. ported him mot here all day" It's all the fault of the tariff and every. body's happy.

REDWINGS APPEAR
 ID HAVE PENNANT
SeVen Clubs in League En-
 parked on Hopeless Chase

By the Associated Press.
 It begins to appear that seven clubs in the International league are embarked on a hopeless chase after the high-lying Redwings of Rochester.
 There still is a chance that the Redwings can be overhauled before the season ends in little more than two weeks but it is just about a mathematical possibility and that's all. Rochester today led the second place Baltimore Orioles by six and one-half games and third place Montreal by seven and a half and only a serious slump by the lead CTS would permit either of the lat ter clubs to draw within striking distance.
 Tex Carleton lasted less than two innings against the Royals yester- day but the Canadians could do lit tie with Lefty Irwin thereafter. The Redwings smacked Herb Thormah- len for four runs in the first in- ming and nicked him for single runs in four later innings to win with out trouble. Pepper led the Roches- ter attack with three hits, including a pair of doubles.
 Home runs by Stroner, Barton and Sand accounted fos six runs as Baltimore trounced Jersey City. S-4. The Skeeters outhit the Orioles 10 to but Baltimore's collection was used to better advantage. Jim Weaver lasted six innings for the Orioles, giving up eight hits and four runs but Monte Weaver blank ed the Skeeters for the last three innings with two hits John Allen went the route for Jersey City and struck out ten men.
 The Buffalo Bisons slugged John ny Prudhomme for six runs in the eighth and ninth to tie the score with the Toronto Maple Leafs only to lose out p the first extra inning S-7. Richardson of the Leafs singled to start the tenth, went to second on sacrifice and scored from there when Burke forced Joe Harris who had walked.
 Newark clubbed out an 11-7 vic. tory over Reading in a night game The Bears clouted three Reading pitchers for 13 hits including s home run by Jordan, and triples by Jordan, James and Stahlman. Let Mangum pitched effectively for si, innings but was driven out of ths box in the seventh inning whel Reading rallied for three runs, with, in two of a tie. Myles Thomas fin. ished up without much additiona trouble.

The Kensington A. c. baseball team will go to Meriden tomorrow to meet the St. Stanislaus team of the Silver City. All kensington players are asked to be on hand as the winner will be awarded so per cent of the receipts and the club is anxious to win this contest.
 Uncle Joe" Foote, feeling that he has hit the top of his form on the lanes, issues a challenge to any other bowler in the city to a bowling endurance contest. Joe still has all the old confidence and he declares that age is no handicap. Joe says the contest might end in tree-sit- through.
 The Pawnee A. c. football team will practice Sunday morning at 10 o'clock at Willow Brook park. This is the last call for recruits and all players and candidates must be on hand tomorrow. Jack Tobin or Rice will coach the team whose members will be decided on Sunday.
 Primo Camera, the man mountain from Italy, surprised even his most sanguine supporters last night in the exhibition he furnished at the Hur- ley stadium in East Hartford The Italian giant proved why he is be- ing considered a logical contender for the heavyweight championship of the world when he toyed with three stalwart opponents in the ring for. two rounds each.
 Armed with 16 ounce gloves, the Italian strong boy, had each oppo- nent on the verge of a knockout but he carriedNAem all along until the final bell in each session. For a man who wears a size IS shoe. he moves with the agility of a featherweight. He is fast and hits like a trip hammer. His punches are we'll aimed and they strike with tell ing effect. Even with the pillows used By the fighters last night, every time he hit, he hurt.
 His opponents were absolutely un- able to find him. In the second canto, he allowed his opponent to \ bit him with rights and lefts to the stomach and the punches only made him laugh. He is a monster in size but he knows what it is all about
 Although last nights test was nothing by which to judge him Primo seems destined to be heavy. weight champion of the world some day. Right now he would be a tough customer for any of the pres. ent day crop of heavyweights. He has learned plenty about fighting in his transforming trip about the country and it is about time that he should be matched with some heavy. weight who will be able to give him a battle.
 A crowd of 5000 fans were pres ent to see the exhibition and the ma. jority of them werer not disappoint ed.
