Fill Tops CAL. Eaters With .486 To Date

From a quick glance at the City Amateur league batting averages, released from Secretary Johnny Pilla's hunting lodge on Pine Hill, 1t is quite evident that Mickey Fill can hit that pill. So much so that he has 1s hits in 37 chances in g games for a batting mark of .486 just a hair short of a hit every other time at bat. Despite such hefty hitting, and the fact that his team, the defending champion Sacred Hearts is tops in team hit- ting, with .3i8 the only team in the loop batting better than 300 the Hearts are in third spot and Razor Doran, egad, has slipped from the leading batter to third best, having been passed by Fill and Liddy Jasilunas, the Watertown idol, who Is batting .462 in behalf of himself and the league leading North End Thomas Club. Here's how they stand at present, with the Hearts and Hills going to bat again Sun day in an important game:

 But getting such an Idea, the ur1- sophisticated visitor was all wet.
 Britain's hero was Tommy Farr 23-year-old pugilist.
 Farr had knocked out in the third round Walter Neusel, a second, Il not third rate German heavyweight who has been manning around British fight circles for long time making a good living out of hori- zontalizing some of Britain's would be verticals.
 They were rather poor lot, and Walter found them easy.
 Betting Out Neusel Big Stun
 So British sports writers, in that adjectival way they have, began to call Neusel the Blond Tiger.
 The result was that when Farr beat him the whoops could not have been any more joyous had he de- feated Jack Dempsey or Gene Tun- ney in his prime.
 Farr at once was proclaimed e coming world champion.
 Who is this Farr who Is causing stolid Britons to go all a-twitter?
 Farr worked as a waiter, bu' couldn't wait long. Then, like SC many of his countrymen, he laborec in Welsh coal mines, developed mus cle, and gradually got into boxing

CIESLEWSK TOO { GOOD FOR MANY /:
 WATERBURIANS
Naugatuck Net Star Gets
 Chance at Two Trophies;s Four Others Also "Out'' ss'

Beginning next season, all out-of- town tennis players will be barred from local tournaments staged un- der the supervision of the park de- partment as part of its summer program. William J. Derwin, assist ant supervisor of recreation, made the announcement today on the eve of the e-opening of the Hamilton Park competition.
 This action followed numerous complaints from local boys and young men who are eliminated year after year by out-of-town players in what are supposed to be "locaf' tournaments. Last year, Henry Cieslewski of Naugatuck captureo top honors in all four of the park tournaments. namely the Fulton, the Chase, Hamilton, and City events This year" says MT. Derwih when we asked several prominent people to give trophies. we were greeted with No" because out-of- town players were allowed to como in and take them away" ,a,s,
 This year Cieslewski will be per mitted to participate in only two tournaments here, the Chase Park and the city championship singles When asked the reason for this ac- ton, Supervisor Derwin said, "Cies. lewski already has won two legs on the Daniel J. Leary trophy in the Chase Park play. and two on the city championship cup, and I think 1t only fair that he should be afford cd the chance to take permanent possession of one or both this year
 The new ruling will affect about half . dozen players. namely Ed Graham of Cheshire. Matsu of Mic- dlebury. and two Litchfield players. They too will be allowed to play tn only the Chase Park and city cham- pionships with Cieslewski.
 MT. Derwin paid tribute to Cies- lewski prowess as tennis player Last Sunday the Naugatuck man walked of with honors in the Litch- field open at Watertown in which tournament he beat some of the best players in Connecticut. He is also entered in the Waterbury Country Club tournament. s'"

 In London on April 2, 1886, Farr was given a 10-round decision over Bob Olin, New York cruiserweight.
 Olin, who believed that he should have had the verdict, almost wept, asking: "What do you have to do to get a decision in EnglandP Kill the other fellow2"

Tn the second Farr became the Welsh champion by scoring his first knockout in fairly big British fight. He disposed of Wilde in the seventh round.
 Ben Foord, a heavy, numbering South African, held the champion ship of the British Empire. Farr took a 15-round decision and the title in London, March IS, 1887. For this he drew down $375.
 On April IS, Farr opened nasty cut above Max Baer's eye with an early punch, and captured a l2- round decision, for which he col- lected $l0,000.
 Then came his fight with Neusel and his richest purse, $l6,500.
