FIGHT VICTORY
To KENNEDY

It was a mild battle and boxing
fans today are hoping tn at a
better show will be afforded them
next week at Portner'S Arena.
The principals were Les Ken
nedy, veteran heavyweight, who
once defeated Max Baer, and Big
Boy Rawson, subbing for Don Pc
trim.
Kennedy won by a decision
after 10 rounds of loose milling
He had Rawson looking for a
knockout every moment after the
third round, but for some reason
or other could not deliver the
telling blow.
The result, the bout went the
entire 10 rounds, with Les getting
the nod because Of his greater
advantage.
The preliminaries were the
highlight of the show. The fea-
ture Of these saw Freddy Fiddu-
cia, Newark light-heavy kayo
Henry Irving, local lad, in the
fifth round of their scheduled six
runder. Irving gave away more
than fifteen pounds.
Walter Kirkwood lost a close
six-rounder to Jimmy Ross, OF
Newark; Baby Charles defeated
Tony Kessel, Of Baltimore, and
Sam Romano and Harry Groves
drew in a four-rounder.

Pauline Is in Danger
As the GOUt. Closes In
On All Gold HOGrderS
BY BILL CoRUM

Of the Swag always managed to
have a few Chicago millionaires
hid away in nearby hotels to
boost the bidding at cruical
moments.
1 always sort # wondered
where those Chicago million
aires spent their time when
they weren't bidding on prize
fights. Not that it was any Of
my business. Or that a mil
lionaire was any novelty around
the fight game in those days.
In fact, a sports writer had to
keep continually on his guard,
or he would go home at night
and hang up his shabby old
overcoat and a millionaire
would pop out Of the pocket.
But I haven't seen many OF the
old boys around the last year
or so.

Billy Petrolle pulled into
town yesterday and lost no
time about unpacking and
hanging in a safe place his
old horseblanket. Bill lost this
blanket once, and was no good
as a fighter until it was re-
turned. So far the Fargo Ex-
press and his manager, Jack
Hurley know, it has never been
laundered. But what we started
to say was, that seeing the
blanket led us to suggest to
Hurley that if Willie whips
Ross next week, it might be
good idea to enter him in the
Kentucky Derby. He's won
practically everything else.
Recalls Ruth's Name
We note in the Washington
dispatches relative to that Babe

where Ruth is described as "a
well-known ball player"

hesitates to voice an opinion.

all the gold dollars so that he
can cut 'em up two ways like
a grapefruit. This will make
two portions of dollar where
only one was before. One for

Only Agate Money
It was getting to be high
time something was said on
the sports pages about the
money, anyhow. When Tex
Rickard was alive talk Of a
million dollars only rated a
line in agate type at the bot
tom Of the page.
Those were the days when the
six hundred millionaires oc-
cupied the first row pews at all
fights in Ma olson Square
Garden. But the last two or
three boxing shows they've had
around there, they've been lucky
to get 600 all told inside the
tent, millionaires, usherS, ref
ereeS, managers, seconds and
fighters to count.
Why when the Mad Halter of
Danbury, Conn.,, was going good

Representatives of England, France, Canada and the United States this month dedicated the worlds first "sef-effacing" memorial at Niagara Falls, N. Y, monument to the Rush. -Bagot treaty. The words of the treaty rather than the monument itself, intended to center the interest of the observer, hence the "self-effacing" concept of the architect. though the memorial is striking and sufficiently worthy to command admiring attention and artistic interest.
 The structure commemorates IT years of inter- national accord and aity along the four thousand mile Canadian American border.

What is it that tells them the time to go is at hand? Do they feel the shortening of the days? Do they see the sun rising farther and farther in the south?

Cochrane rated as of baseballs greatest catchers, came to Detroit last Spring unknown quantity as a manager Unsurpassed as a back stop defensively and offensively while the Athletics and working for MT. Cornelius McGili- cuddy otherwise known as Connie Mack it remained to be seen whether he could handle men and direct their play with enough strategic skill to make them winning combination. His winning of the American League pennant with five games yet to be played answers that question in manner that is wholly pleasing to Detroit fans. It is the first time in 25 years that a Detroit club has achieved that distinction. It is the fourth time in history it has been done The late Hughey Jennings managed the club that won pennants in 1907-03-09. In the first year Detroit won with 92 games 91 the suc- ceedng year and 98 in 1909. With five games to play the Tigers have won 97 this year and have a chance to better Jenningss mark for games won.
 The Detroit fans have every right to call Cochrane a miracle man" He deserves to rank with Stallngs, Boston's miracle" when he piloted the Braves to championship just 30 years ago. or Moran at Cincinnati in 1920; and Terry and Cronin in 1883 He took a second division club and kept in the lead most of the way not only deyisng it's strategy but as occasion arose providing it with the winning punch that spelled the difference between victory and defeat He had few players who had experi- enced the grind of championship competition He insted in them the spirit that it takes to survive that strain The supreme test is yet to come, that of the Worlds Series But of this there can be no doubt in Detroit there is question to who will win-Mickey and his Tigers are in!
