TA'. Sporting " Wor'a
He Wouldn't Do Business.
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

To the everlasting credit of Jimmy McLarnin let it now be said that his record as a fighter ad- herring to the highest ideals of sportsmanship is still intact. Last night in New York's Madison Square Garden, he could easily have knocked Benny Leonard as cold as frozen fish any time after the second round. He held Benny up until the sixth. and it was then that Referee Artie Donovan merci- fully intervened and stopped the uneven match, with Leonard aetu- ally "out on his feet" Jimmy did give Benny helping hand by pulling his punches and throwing half hooks instead of full ones. by throwing that famous right around Benny's skull. and other wise trying to make his idol of fifteen years ago look as good as possible - in defeat. BUT HE DIDN'T SELL OUT. That's the point upon which the whole thing revolves. Since McLarnin and his manager. Pop Foster. first hit New York, they lost no time in making it plain that they wouldn't do business" Ifix bout illegitimately. by deciding on the outcome in advanee). Since then. they have kept themselves and the sport they represent aeidiy clean. insofar as the two were con- cerned. They have been ap- preached. cajoled. threatened, and otherwise intimidated. but they stuck fast to their slogan: We're out to win. And win they did. right from the go. i. It was pitiful to see Leonard staggering around that ring last night. trying to land a punch. His legs just wouldn't hold him up. though his brain. boxing ability and punch were top-notch. Jimmy knew he had him in the second round. He could have ended it in the third. He purposely made Leonard look good in the fourth. Benny just beat himself. or rather. Father Time cut him down with that razor-edged seythe. BUT Me Larnin was in there to win. The way he did it. brought lS.000 people to their feet in a thunder of applause that he will never for get to his dying day. For Benny. there was applause. too - mingled with. pity. They just don't come back"

|FELDMAN GETS
 l5-ROUND SHOT AT ''B0N-BON''
Winner of Garden Bout Thursday Can Claim the Feather Title-Jeby vs PirrOne

New York, oct. Skid Choco- late comes back to Madison Square Garden after a long absence next week. On Thursday night he will match his wonderful skill and boxing science against Lew Feld- man, of Brooklyn, in bout which is designated as for the feather weight championship of the world. It will be fifteen rounds and the winner will be declared the feather weight champion by the New York boxing commission.
 When Kid Chocolate first came to America 1t was his hope to some day be the kingpin of the 126- pounders. He fought his way to a match with Bat Battalino, then the champion but failed in a close, hard fight. Since then he has been meet ing men bigger than himself and even got a crack at the light weight title, against Tony Canzon- eri, but again failed. But he never outgrew the featherweight class, no matter what he did to put on weight. He is a legitimate feather weight now and probably never will be anything else.
 Opportunity
 In Feldman he will meet the best featherweight New York boasts. In ten round bouts the "Keed" has won decisions over Lew but at the finish of the bouts, the Brooklyn Scotch-Jew was coming like a house-afire and always said that if the bouts were longer that he would take Chocolate. Now he gets his chance and with the added in centive of being held the feather weight champion if he carries out his promises.
 He Is in training at Stillman's gymnasium now and Chocolate is at the Pioneer, but neither are showing any concern about the weight making. It will require just some brushing up on their boxing to make them two worthy candi. dates for a title, which has beer held by such great ones as Terry McGovern, George Dixon, Johnny Kilbane and Johnny Dundee and the like.
 It's the top of most interesting card. Matchmaker McQuade has arranged two great ten-round bouts, bouts which will have some bearing on the vacated middle. weight title. In one designated as the semi-final, Frank Battaglia, the sensational Canadian, who has been knocking out all his foes will meet the rugged Chick Devlin, o1 the coast. It's Battaglia's first ap. pearance here and if he wins hell have the chance to fight it out fol the title later on.
 Good Number
 Tn another ten rounder Ben Jeby the product of the east side and the best middleweight turned out ih years in New York is matched to meet Paul Pirrone, of Cleveland Probably the winner of these two bouts will be matched for another elimination contest. Besides these there will be four round bout.

0f the country now!
 The answer seems to me that he would be sellout every place he pitched his manly art Of self defense" show. For most fights these days, from the larger cities on down through the smaller com- munities, are a laugh.
 The question that the fans all want answered is: "Is it in the bag" And very often it is. The fighters try to make 1t look good"
 But in the second round, when a fighter sinks to the canvas inspired by only a healthy shove, the cry of "Phony" rends the ringside air.
 Following fights in certain cities where the local product gets the benefit of a questionable decision, the question is asked by fans and boxing writers alike: What do you have to do to beat the local champ in his home town?"
 It is a hard question to answer. Few local champs can be beaten in their home town-even with a hammer.
 In many cities fighters uncom- plainingly accept the worst Of It.. They realize that their role is the under dog in the "build-up' of some aspiring puncher.
 The tour of Primo Camera re- calls many of these setups to mem- ory.
 Now and then a setup crosses up the talent by winning. Then the laugh is on somebody else.

PONIES OPPOSE
 HARTFORD TEAM
 IN CLOCK TOWN
(Special to the DemOcraO

Thomaston, Oct 8.-What looms like the leading semi-pro football attraction of the valley will be played at Plume and Atwood field here tomorrow afternoon when the speedy All-Hartford combination of gridmen clash with the Ponies in game to start at 2:15 o'clock. An-Hartford lost to the All-Tor- rington team two Sundays ago by a 70 count and on last Sunday put up a sensational brand of football in its game with the strong Wal cos of Wallingford.
 Back on Home Field
 Thomaston, making perhaps one of the greatest hits scored by a Connecticut club thus far this sea- son in holding the heavy Steam Rollers of Providence to no score for the first half and then losing 2S-O last Sunday on the Rollers field, will take the field against the Hartford eleven at full strength Fans are awaiting the chance to see the team which gave the Rollers such a fine battle a week ago and it is expected that when the tussle gets underway the sidelines will be packed with spec tators. It will be the final appear ance of the "Galloping Gridmen" on their home field until the 30th when the All-Torrington eleven comes to town. On the 18th All Naugatuck will be met at Nauga- tuck and on the 23d the locals will travel to Branford.
 AII-HartfOrd Club Good
 Hartford unquesuonably is the strongest team to invade Thomaston's grounds thus far this season. The Insurance City club is loaded with splendid semi-pro talent which consists of veteran players along with former brilliant high school performers of Greater Hartford. Scott, a former Vermont academy star, is listed in the back field; Conroy. who was powerful lineman with the Manchester Majors a season ago, and two line players, Sullivan and Landers of the original All-Hartford combine, are located at posts with the team directed by Jack Callahan.
 Thomaston's Star Cast Joe Sevigny, smashing New Ha- ven fullback who gained consid- erable attention from sports writ CTS at Providence last Sunday. along with Billy Scully. expert punter and passer of Meriden. Leo Smith, veteran end of Providence college fame and George Smith Of Naugatuck will take their places in the locals lineup. French or Beacon Falls, who has been serv- lee with Ali-Naugatuck this season, also may perform with Thomaston.
 The officials selected for the en- counter are: Referee. Jake Vree- land, Waterbury; umpire. Ray Foley, Naugatucki head lInesmnn, George Beedie, Hartford. The probable starting lineups:
 Hartford; Soioway and WinanH, ends, conrOy and Piefka, tackles; Sullivan and I.nnders. guards chl' lnhan, center, II. conroy, quarter back, Scott and P0ttinger, hnlf' baeksi Boucher, fuIibaek. Res serves, Debastino. Hoisreen, Daw' son, Robaiski, Callahan, oerdo. Montie, Collins and HyoIBskl

HOGAN FLATTENS
 AMATEUR RIVAL
Local Boy Kayoes Bill Bruno in First - Baby Dixon Stopped in End

Bridgeport. Oct. 8-Spiro Morris returned to the Acorn fold last night and captured the honors of the night by trouncing Bobby Will is of Hartford in a sizzling three round feature engagement. The lit tie East Slider, receiving a bad cut over his eye in the first round, came back to capture the verdict by steadily forcing the fight and beating Willis in every department.
 Honeyboy LaCroix, the other local favorite had an easy time, swatting Jack Horner of Hartford down in the first round for a knockout. Horner proved no match for the heavy hitting Bridgeport welterweight. These two bouts topped a fine all-around card which was witnessed by a goodly number of fans,
 Joe Harvey of New Haven knock ed out Baby Dixon of Waterbury in the second round of the 112 pound class.
 Lou Murray of Torrington out pointed Bill Jenkins of New Hay en in the 140 pound class.
 Tommy Massaro of Windsor Locks knocked out Lou Jackson of Derby in the third round in the 120 pound class.

Yet, from various opinions ex- pressed, there's a little point of diff ference to be strengthened out be- fore nxt seasons tournament plans are onnounced with the four clubs above mentioned and possibly one or two more clubs in the Nauga- tuck valley represented by a 16 man team. From present indica- tions, 1t appears that the Water bury club intends to sponsor the meet again next season.
 Change Around
 That's where the rub comes in. Other clubs, notably the Water town organization, feels that it would like to have the tournament shifted around annually, and for that reason may make g. bid for next seasons play in view of the fact that 1t has tn only other Is hole course of the four districts represented this year. Officials at the Mattatuck club would also like to stage the tournament, while Naugatuck which won the first championship through the victory of Joe Wujick, thinks, that ii should have the privilege of stag ing the meeting, in view of the fact that it is listed as defending cham pion.
 Popular
 Every player taking part in the play this season was well satisfied with the manner in which the meet was conducted, and is in favor o1 its annual continuance, but many of them do not care particularly to play at the same club every year feeling that the home layout of the club sponsoring the tournament naturally gives advantage to the home players. Due to the fact that the aMttatuck and Naugatuck courses are but nine holes, tho meet next season will go either tt Watertown or Waterbury.

STACC PULLS 'CIL DOBIE' BEFORE
 YALE CONTEST

New Haven, Oct 8-CUP)- Amos Alonzo Stagg, the grand old man of football" sent his promis- ing University of Chicago eleven into the bowl to-day against Yale, for whom he starred as end 45 years ago.
 The game held the sentimental interest of the football world for it is the first time the 70 year old coach has brought his team to play in New Haven in the 40 years he has been Chicago.
 Yale embraced her son with a whole hearted fervor which con- vinced him that victory for Eli to- day would be no more popular here than victory for the Stagg eleven. The white-thatched coach was guest of honor last night at a banquet at Morey's, traditional dining place of sons of Eli, attend ed by officials of the university and old-time football heroes. What! No POise? Stagg was not over-optimiStic regarding his teams chances. de- spite Yale's scoreless tie with Bates last week. T believe our chances are even," he declared. "All Chi cago needs is a little boise to be a great team"
 Coach Nal Stevens of Yale was prepared to gridiron a stronger team than that which floundered against Bates. Several veterans
 have rejoined the squad, including

BRET HARTE OPERA DUE
Vienna to See "The People From
Poker Flat"

VIENNA.-Jaromir Weinberger has
completed a new opera with libretto
written by Milos Kares based on a novel
of Bret Harte. The scene is laid in the
California gold fields at the time of the
great gold rush.
The work Is called Die Leute Won
Poker F1at"-"The People from Poker
Flat" - and it is an experiment in .
new style. different" says Herr Vein
berger, from anything else I have COM
posed. In this opera I have eliminated
dramatic passages from the music,
treated them as melodrama and let
them be spoken instead Of sung, paint
ing in the musical accompaniment only
in the orchestration. Only emotional
passages will be sung"
The new opera will have its first pro-
duction in Brunn on October II.
