PORTUGUESE LOSE
 TO BRIDGEPORT
l8=Year=Old GOalkeeper Instrumental in Locals Reverse = s w e d e s TrOunce Germans

An IS year old high school boy, Sonny Baum, proved the hero in the game between the Portuguese Sport club and Bridgeport All Scots yesterday afternoon at Brass co Park, which the Park City con- tingent won, 2 to 0, in a State Soc cer League match. His fine display at the goal and the fact that he saved a penalty kick in his senior debut made him the hero of the day and solved the Scots problem of a dependable goal keeper.
 Swedes Beat Germans
 Bridgeport, Sept 26-The Swe- dish A. c. and German Sport club have met about 8 dozen times dur ing the past two seasons with the latter club always coming out suc- cessful but yesterday at Harding field in a State league contest, the Swedish team swamped the Ger mans by the score of 6-3 and re- venged all previous defeats. The game was brilliantly contested throughout and until midway through the second half the teams were evenly matched. Finally the German defense cracked up and Butz was brought into the center forward position and Reichhubcr went into the back position and in the last 20 minutes the Swedish team scored three goals.

KID KAPLAN 10
 BOX HOLMES IN

Hartford, Sept 26 - The indoor boxing season in Hartford will get under way Thursday, October 6, with Louis (Kid) Kaplan meeting Eddie Holmes, the Providence junior welterweight who won a dis puted decision from Bat Battalino last month. The bout will be spon- sored by the newly organized Cap itol City A. c. and will be held in Foot Guard Hall. It will be a ten round number.
 Ever since Holmes defeated Bat talino efforts have been made for a rematch but they were not suc- cessful. Also efforts to match Kap- Ian with Pancho Villa, the New Bedford Portuguese who won a verdict over the Hartford man at Fall River, Mass, were unsuccess- full. Villa would not meet Kaplan in . Connecticut ring and Holmes did not, care to clash with Bat talino.
 In an effort to get the season stasted it was suggested that Hosmes meet Kaplan. He accepted and the match was made.
 Frankie O'Brien, the Irish mid dleweight, goes back to the wars on Tuesday. He is to meet Tony Dominguez in an eight rounder in Boston. It is O'Brien's first start in three months.
 On the same card Unknown Winston, the colored lightheavy- weight who wnocked out Walter Cobb in Boston, goes back to the Hub to battle the dangerous Billy Jones.

 New York, Sept 26-UP)-Two young men of important brawn, Max Schmeling of Germany and Mickey Walker of New Jersey, will step under the floodlights of Mad ison Square Garden bowl tonight for the benefit of Schmeling, Walk CT and lot of babies.
 The babies can't lose. With a crowd of at least 10000 guaran- teed, the milk fund will get a "cut" of sufficient responsibility to provide a pint of milk for all the infants between the Battery and the Bronx.
 The experts say, that like the babies, Schmeling can't lose. Ask them why and they'll tell you it's not in the books for 6 good little man to whip good big man, David and Goliath to the contrary. Ger tainly, Schmeling will pack a physical advantage. He's five years younger, for one thing, he'll pack around 20 or 25 pounds more of heft, for another, and his Is the bigger reach, neck, forearm, biceps, chest (both ways), waist, thigh, calf, ankle and fist,
 Only in one item is Walker su- perior. His wrist measurement Is S1z to 7%. And the wrists, while a swell place to feel the pulse and wear watches, are not important attacking weapons.
 Schmeling has another advan- tage, too-none that isn't down on paper. St Simon Stylites, way up there on his perpendicular perch, never lived a more restricted life than the German. And that sort of living is bound to pay dividends along about the twelfth round when the path gets tough, the go- ing rough. (Poetry). Walker has lived what the boys call full life. Quite a bit of his roadwork has been done on the primrose path.
 A full life, while 1t earns you a large speaking acquaintance and makes you popular figure at base ment resorts, is not calculated to strengthen the wind. limb or chin.
 So. far, we have painted a pretty dismal picture of Walkers chances: a picture that might inspire some to ask, "Why hold the fight at all?" so let's see what Walker has to offset Schmeling's overwhelming physical advantages.
 Well, the pug-nosed little Irish CT has got a heart as big as wa termelon. He couldn't spell quit with the combined assistance of Mister Funk and Mister Wagnalls. Like several of Frank Bucks friends he's worse when he's hurt. In short, he can take it.
 And he can give it. too, especial Iy from tho south side. Tint left hook Of hls is a thing Of beauty md a pain for whoever lt hits. ITS thls left hand which Mickey and the good Doe KenrDa are counting on 10 do the work. Kearns has it all figured out. With the opening bell, Mickey will come out swing Ing. shooting for the Germans chin,
 "Tbo Germans slow starter" ksarns NiIi tell you, Mickey ought io get him before the fourth round BuI fl hs falls t0 take him by that time, we'll switch 0uf atinek from ths face to inc beilS, And hDs Makls loves 'sn dOwnhihirsi"
