EAGLES VICTORY KEPT QUEBEC OUT
 OF THIRD PLACE
(By United Press)

The tail-end New Haven Eagles halted Quebec's drive toward third place in the Can-Am Hockey League last night with a S-2 vic tory on their home rink, in the only league game played.
 Bob Oracle, loaned to the Eagles two days ago by the New York Americans, had hand in all period and feeding passes in the second and third periods. The Quebec Beavers spurted in the fin- al period, scoring twice.
 The defeat left Quebec one point behind the third place Philadel- phia Arrows. Boston is first with 22 points and the Providence Reds are close behind with 19.

Thus we have the sensational eleven round victory of Max Baer over Primo Camera, contest that will go down in ring annals as one of the most thrilling of all time, bout that takes its place side by side with the Dempsey Willard and the -Firpo mills.
 Two Record Bouts
 The year also furnished two record making bouts in one of which Jimmy McLarnin lost his welterweight crown to Barney Ross and in the other the Van couver Irishman regained his title. The victory by Ross enabled the Chicagfo youth to attain fame as the first modern gladiator to be the holder of two. championships, the lightweight and welterweight, at one time.
 The year 1894 saw also the crowning of two world champions in Bob Olin, who carried off the light-heavyweight crown, and Freddy Milelr who clinched the featherweight title and two Amer ican champions in Baby Arizmen- di, the featherweight, and Teddy Yarssz, the middleweight.
 Added to the above was the re- turn of the big gate in boxing and the reopening of 78 per cent of the boxing clubs that had been closed the previous year. The Baer-Car- nera and the two Ross -McLarnin contests showed receipts amount ing to $90O,000, which, consider ing that an international depres- sion has been with us for three years, speaks volumes for the popularity of boxing.
 Finances Better
 Although the larger organiza- tions comprising the Madisoa T Square Garden of New York and Boston, the Chicago Stadium and the Olympia of Detroit failed to click financially during the indoor seasons, the fact that throughout the country the smaller clubs kept running full blast throughout the year, and that with but few eXcep- tions, those clubs showed either a small profit, or came close to breaking even, is an indication that boxing is on it's way to pros- perity again.
 The past year saw the develop ment of exceptionally fine talent, in fact, better prospects in all di- visions than had advanced from the novice stage in several years. That is why 1885 looks so prom ising,
 New Talent
 We had no Jack Dempsey, Georges Carpenter, Jack Delaney, Paul Berlenbach, Harry Grep, Gene Tunney, Benny Leonard, Tom Gibbons, Johnny Dundee or Char ley White to carry the boxing banner on high, but in their place the sport produced group of youngsters whose sensational work brought back the spectators who had deserted boxing the previous year.
 Such talent as Paul Pirrone Teddy Yarosz, Baby Arizmendi Charley Massare, Art Laslky, Bob- by Pacho, Eddie Cool, Harry Du- blinsky, Kid Azteca, Frankie Klick Cerefino Garcia, Jack Peterson Jock McAvoy, Ambrose Palmer Fred Henneberry. Jack Carroll Merv Blandon, Maurice Holtzer Maurice Huguenin, Valentin An glemann, Louis Salica, Leonard Del Genio, Lew Feldman and Petey Hayes were among the many newcomers whose efforts were received with favoritism by those who paid the freight. Most Notable Feats The most notable feats of the year in boxing were:
 1.-The knockout of Primo Car nera by Max Baer.
 2.-The winning of the welter- weight crown by Barney Ross wh0 thus became a double champion. 3.-McLarnin's defeat of Ross to regain the welterweight crown. 4.--Freddy Miller's victory over

BLACKHAWKS LOSE TO CANADIENS IN IN HOCKEY GAM E
(By United PreSs)

The Montreal Canadiens, who spent most of their time around the cellar, turned back the Chicago Black Hawks, American Division leaders, last night in the National Hockey League.
 With McGill scoring twice and Joliat and Goldsworthy adding one goal apiece, the Canadiens won by a Al margin. Gottselig was the only scorer for the losers.
 Despite the defeat the black Hawks remained two points ahead of the idle Boston Bruins.
 The Detroit Red Wings nosed out the New York Americans, 2-1 in the final period. Buswell and Anderson scored the tying and winning points.

MERCANTILE LEAGUE
 LUMBER
BY THE CHATTERER

Well, another round of bowling
 has begun and the race is jut be- | ginning. Come on, gang, see If we can't make it much closer race than it is. Don't wait till the last | minute, begin now. Let's go places | ard do some pin topniing. Sears-Roebuck is staging a come back as they have won their last three matches. Eddie DiNapoli has
 had his team practicing three nights a week. I guess he hasn't forgotten the formula that practice
 makes perfect. e- ... Benny Kabot says they were 1 lucky to win two games from his team this past week. He made the remark after the match that it | won't happen again and is willing | to bet marbles, pens, pencils and
 what have you that his team will | take two games next time they
 meet. We shall see what we shall | see.
 Wow! The Bakers took three games from the Metros, making them the sole owners of first place. Rocco Martone is going around to | tell his good friend Bill Cunning ham the good news. He is saying | try and stop his team from win ming the league title. When interviewed by the press as to how his team came to lose three games to the Bakers Freddie Freeman remarked how can you
 beat a team that goes around with horseshoes in their pockets. Rocky
 Masi was overheard to say that the Bakers were the luckiest team he
 has ever had the misfortune to roll against.
 After losing the first game to the | Oilers. the Milkmen came back to
 win the next two. It remained for
 George Guy to pull his team out of the fire as Cunningham and | Thompson, their big guns were not
 able to hit the pins as well as they
 did last week.
 Here is a team, Standard Oil by
 name, which doesn't seem to be | getting any sort of a break at ali. l Schilling says "the oilers have had more splits. chops and two filters than any team in the league. With any sort of a break we would have
 won the last game from Wordens.
 We lost that game by only twelve
 pins"
 1 The North Squares are one of | the best teams to roll against that you can fine or get together in the city. Three men are just beginners l with a lot of pluck and sports manship that is above reproach.
 Nice work, Proxy, too bad your
 league hasn't more of these type Eof bowlers.. Notice Fruiters and Milkmen watch this team and you will learn to take lose in a grace full manner.
 l This weeks big five has six:
 Guiles, Oilers 365, Solosky. Grocers
 362, TDi Napoli. Sears 352. Martone.
 Bakers 347, and Guy, Milkers and
 Huston, Sears, 344 each. This, weeks schedule: Worden's vs Carlin Fruit Sears-Roebuck vs Metro Clean
