Over N the ! 1- Plate -
BY GEORGE DILLON

Take peep at the box score elsewhere on this page of the ca tastrophe between the Brooklyn Royal Colored Giants and Pros pect Chargers at Hamilton Park last night and save me the trouble of telling you about 1t, for 1t speaks for itself. The visitors certainly were welcomed back in a fitting manner as the east end recreatitH center was overlooked with diamond lovers who circum- ferenced the field as clos as Highlander's wallet. The visit ors took the bearded House of David team into camp in New York Thursday. 3 to 2, but Moose" Swaney was not on the hill. Thursday the C. G. out fit routed Cranston, N. Y., in Cranston. while this afternoon they are scheduled for a double bill in Reisan, stellar second sacker, hi: Joe Maine above the left ear with his Louisville after missing a strike in the sixth inning. but no damage was recorded and the Yale receiver continued per usual. Fay Vim cent nicked Gardner for seven foul balls. Big Boy Rifle was sta- toned at first base last night in place of Manager Bedding who played against the Brooklyns and the big boy massaged Atwood for three doubles. his last sailing for across the right field road into the adjacent bank. Clayt Latti- mer hit into double play In the second inning, Lackey to Seay to Rifle, but the P. G. flyhawk made no attempt to reach the initial sock. thinking the force play at second had retired the side. He offset his boner. however, by banging out two red hot doubles in his next two trips to the disc. Lefty" Atwood was pitching against the Giants for the second time as the husky southpaw toiled against them while wearing q Hartford uniform in the Eastern League a few years ago. Bill Lackey. Giants dizzy sack guardt- an, made two outs in the seventh inning striking out as leadof man and grounding out to Bobby Cav Nanny Brooks. hard hitting center fielder, lived up to his rep by driving one of Atwood's fast ones high and far over the center field bleachers. Brooks and Earl Webb of the Boston Red Sox are the only two players credited with circuit blows over the distant cen- ter field fence in Fenway Park. Boston. Brooks showed a fine arm and returned Atwood's long fly to catcher Latimer second too late to catch "Fat" Piazza scoring from third. . It was a beautiful peg. Latimer, visitors catcher. and Clayt Lattimer of the locals, clearly emphasized to the scorers that their names were spelled with one and two ts. re- spectively. Can't blame them for that. The Wingdale Hos pital team from Wingdale, N. Y.. and showing Harry Melvin. Mickey Hayes and few other local boys in their lineup along with Egbert Johnson, former Brassco spit baller, may play here in the near future. :. Maybe the New York Policemen will also appear here if final arrangements can be ironed out.

WILLIE BUSH WINS GREAT BOUT FROM
 OLIN AT ROCK"
Local Negro Substitutes for Gainer and Goes G0Od-Vignai Won the Best Bout on Active Card
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

New Haven, April Hone point decisions being all the rage this season In Connecticut, some 5000 ,fistic followers from many points of this good old commonwealth h saw Willie Bush of Waterbury win an eyelash decision over Bob Olin of New York in the seasons out standing ring shock tonight at White City Stadium. Careful persual of the ten round bout by rounds seemed to indicate that Bush deserved the win, despite the fact that he was on the canvas in the second and sixth rounds, and Referee Bill Conway's verdict was a most popular one, directly following Bush's whirlwind finish in the tenth round which found Olin saggy and ring-worn as your rear left tire.
 Short Notice.
 The game, winning fight that Bush made was all the more re- markable in that he took the bout on q few hours notice. Al Gain CT, who was booked to meet Olin in a return bout, was taken sud- denly i'll yesterday afternoon. and removed to Grace hospital, where he is in the throes of the grippe. Bush, his substitute carried on in sensational fashion, and by dint of taking the last three rounds in succession finished with a 45 to A win over Olin according to the official.
 Robert Surprised
 Olin started fast and sure, as he had been told that Gainer knocked Bush cold in a bout which went only three rounds. That much happened to be true, but what he wasn't told was that Gainer himself was nearly flat tened by punch that Bush caught him which knocked the New Ha- ven negro almost out of the ring. In very short order. Olin found he was up against no pushover, as Bush is a very much improved fighter since his last winters so- journ in Florida. Willie came back to take the third and fourth rounds by use of a left jab that snapped Olin's head back every time 1t landed, and a right cross that shook the New Yorker from head to heels. Bob came back strong in the sixth and seventh putting buSn on the 1lOOr, but couldn't keep him there. The ne- gro saved his strength for a strong finish and he was there when he had to be, beating Olin around handily in the last three rounds, while the Gotham Hebrew was very tired and doing plenty of holding. It was a close fight, a closer decision, but the best man won.
 Best Bout.
 Young Joe Vignali the Town Plot Terror from Waterbury nut on the best exhibition of punch ing on the card in winning d four round nod over Joe Oliver of New Haven for the second time. The pair slam-banged all the way and took the crowd by storm.
 In the eight round semi-final, Eddie Reed of Hartford won a hard-earned decision over Johnny Peters of England. Charley Mas sari of New York stopped Larry James of Derby on a T.k.O. Jack Red Knight won over Sal Carter of Middletown in six-round special.

HERSHEY TO BOX
 BRANCH TONIGHT

Bridgeport, August Is Emery Branch, who meets Kid Hershey of Waterbury In one of the six round bouts at the Walnut Beach stadi- um tonight, possesses the best left hand seen on a Connecticut fighter in many moons. He does not Heck his southpaw hook for light jabs. but puts plenty of power behind his drives as he showed to the customers at the Beach stadium last Saturday night when he flat tened Art O'Day in four heats.
 Tonight Branch will meet the Waterbury clown, Kid Hershey in one of the preliminarics that should be bristler for action. Hershey is one of the freaks of the boxing game. He is rarely out of condition as he never takes even a sip of water between rounds. De- spite his clownish actions he never fails to draw the plaudits of the fans and no one can deny that he can fight as he twice conquered Mickey Travers this season.
 The card is to be topped by q ten round feature event in which Leo LeDouix of Worcester and Willie Lewis of Stamford meet in return endeavor. They fought eight rounds last Saturday and the referees score card gave each boy 35 points. LeDouix got the de- cision, but Lewis went home dis pleased and will get another chance to prove his ability over a longer route this week.
 Al Boross, the Hungarian heavy weight, is to oppose Vic Carlson of Terryville in another six rounder. while a third bout of like duration will find Tony Laverio of Bristol testing his skill against the stiff punching Billy Muir of Springfield.

The piece de resistance brings EDgether the Broklyns and the Hills For the third time this season at Hamilton Park and to say that the players and club followers are at fever pitch is mild. indeed. The boys from across the bridge have lost but one game this season out of eleven starts and 1t happened to be the Hills that hung the loss on khern. In the second tussle, Johnny Devits array returned the com pliment in a whirlwind finish. To- xnorrow's game is the rubber" with the winner almost certain to finish first in the league standing. and eventually recognized as Wa hsrbury's representatives in the na- fional tourney.
 Leaders, Advantage
 Brooklyn's club is in a nice spot light now. Should they lost to- morrow they will still lead the league, as they have won ten games against the Hills eight vic- tories, and lost only one game to kl1re for the Baldwin stret brigade. At any rate, the Hills still have a chance but they cannot afford to drop another contest this season. Therefore, you may be assured that both teams will have their best players on the field, with the op- posing pitchers scheduled to play m all-important part in the re- suit On the mound 1t looks like Johnny Jablinowski against Ray paly. Aside from that it's up to the boys with the big bats.
 Preliminary Games
 M the 2 o'clock game on the 3rst diamond, the Prospect and North End Thomas club hook up en . game that will aid the form pr array to hold fast to third place whether they win or lose. The Tommies have won only two games put of eleven. In the other ? o. clock game the Hearts and Trib- unes meet in a contest that also will not change the standing of etther. win or lose. Which means that the big game at p. m. is the only one of the day that means Anything.
