.SCHAAF FLATTENS VETERAN MALONEY
 IN THREE ROUNDS
Jack Sharkey's Protege Repeats Over Boston Heavyweight in Hub Con- test - Three Knock downs

Boston, July Il - CUP)-Ernie schaaf, Jack Sharkeys Wrentham heavyweight protege, repeated his success of a few weeks ago, by knocking out Jim Maloney, Boston veteran, again. when they met in a scheduled 10 round bout at Boston Garden last night.
 Maloney was knocked out this time in the third round, after 2 minutes and 20 seconds of fighting. In their first encounter Schaaf scored a surprising 70-second knockout victory.
 Schaaf weighed 205 and Maloney 200.
 A hard right flush on the jaw of helpless Maloney ended the bout. Maloney had been floored for counts of 9, 3 and 5 immediately preced- ing the knockout blow. At the start of the round Schaaf began a deter mined campaign to stop his oppo- nent and Maloney was punished se- verely before he was floored for the full count.
 The fight started with Schaaf set ting torrid pace. Maloney, striv- ing to even his count with Schaaf, met the pace, and the two heavy weights mixed furiously. Both land- cd hard blows to the head and body but Schaaf threw them little fast CT and oftener.
 The second round was almost a repetition of the first though in this round Maloney improved his work atin-fghting and held the big ex- sailor about even.
 Officials announced that 19,000 spectators paid $27,959 to witness the card

NAL STEVENS PUTS
 END TO RUMOR
Yale Coach Denies Eli Off= cials Approached Him in Effort 10 Secure His Resignation

New Haven-Wild rumors eminat- ing from New York to the effect that Yale authorities had approached head coach Nal Stevens of the Yale football team in an effort to secure his release to the contract he holds as coach, met with strenuous denial yesterday by Stevens who declared there was not the least basis for the report. Stevens said it was so absurd that it was short of ridicu- lous to temper it with a statement of any sort. He said that if there was any such thought in the minds of the Yale authorities, he would be only to willing to release Yale from the contract he holds.
 The report was also character ized as Q far-fetched yarn by Cap- tain-elect Booth. who stated he was in full accord with the policies be- ing pursued by Head Coach Stevens, and that he was looking ahead and has already mapped out with Coach Stevens and other mem- bers of the coaching staff, a definite policy for the season ahead.

HOME RUNS SECOND OBJECTIVE OF RUTH
 AVERAGES REVEAL
BY DIXON STEWART


 New York, July 11.-UP) Babe Ruth, who for the first time in his major league career is seeking the American league batting leadership in preference to home run honors. is setting a fast pace for his rivals.
 With the dead" ball apparently nullifying his chances of bettering all-time home run record of 60, the Babe no longer is swinging from the heels and instead is satisfied to meet the ball. The change in bat ting style has enabled Ruth to pile up a 1892 average and he now leads all major league hitters.
 Dit It Before
 Ruth led the American League in batting during the 1924 season all though at that time he was more in terested in home runs than in bat ting averages and he won mainly be- cause other hitters were far below their usual averages. Ruth's mark of .378 was the second lowest winning total since 1915.
 Ruth's closest competition this season is furnished by Ed Morgan. Cleveland first baseman, who holds the American League runner-up berth with percentage of 1888. Earl Webb, who is making good in the Boston Red Sox outfield after un- successful attempts with the Cubs, Giants, Senators and Reds, is next in line with 1875 and Goose Goslin of St. Louis is four points further in the ruck.
 Virgil Davis, Phillies catcher, has displaced his teammate Chuck Klein as the National League leader with a mark of .366. Klein has dropped to .361 but still holds the lions share of individual offensive honors for his league.
 Pitching Leaders
 Bob Grove of the Athletics leads the pitchers with record of IT victories and two defeats for a per centage of 1895. Other high winners in the American League include Marberry, Washington, with 8 vic tories and 1 defeat; Earnshaw. Phil adelphia, with IA victories and de- feats; Walberg, Philadelphia, with 12 victories and 4 defeats. and Yves Terrell. Cleveland, with II victories and defeats.
 Al Watt, Philadelphia, and Bill Morrell, New York, have the best percentage for National League pitchers with four victories and one defeat each. Fitzsimmons has lost and Elliott [.

All over Connecticupt, profession 4I boxing has been kicked around Hnancially, but the fans are fiocK- Ing In considerable thousands to sec the boys who are in there trying every minute.
 A Good Combination.
 Last night, Mulligan conferred with Dick Gray, New Haven fistic 1mpressario with regard to the pos 4bl1ity of staging amateur shows in waterbury,, and was assured of full co-operation by the latter who has more successfully conducted anna tour boxing in Connecticut on <orge scale than any other individual. Mulligan and Gray hooked up once ucfore on the same proposition. bu' lt didn't take, financially, so had to be Abandoned.
 Fans Opinion Wanted.
 As to the night that the first set of; bouts will be staged, decision VIII be made on that point later. Right now the promoters are cer- tain if the particular evening each week that the majority of fans would prefer to see tha amateur shows, and are open for suggestions along that line. either personally or Through the newspapers. Gray Is conducting amateur boxing in Har:- ford on Thursday of each week and is doing a land office business, drawing 6,000 to his last show, while Professional boxing of the type shown up there is almost out of the picture, Promoter Ed Hurley hav!n3 taken three successive lickinSs.
 Another Experiment.
 Mulligan is not yet convinced that fans did not care for their boxing, despite the fact that his past three shows have gone "ln the red.'' Feeling that the financial and working depression that has eff fected Waterbury is mainly respon- eible for local sport conditions, the amateur boxing will be presented at q price that everyone can afford who te in any way interested.
