Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Pres sStaff COrrespOndent)

New York, May 22. (UP)-Man and boy, Jack Doyle has been watching baseball and making book on its since catchers took the ball on the first bounce and 6 handle- bar moustache wah the primary rec quisite of good pitcher. Yet, he told me today in his odds emporium high over where Broadway meets Columbus Circle, that never had he seen 6 collapse quite equal to that of the 1040 Yankees.
 The man was ct c loss to explain what has happened to the club that came to the present season with four successive world championships under it8 belt. His reaction to the Yankee s1um is worth four times as much as that of a Yankee fan or c Yankee hater. Doyle is With- out sentiment entirely. His business is betting and the odds that con- trol it. He would make his brother an under-dog, CT 6 dear first cousin c 1ongsender.
 No Emotion
 He looks at any sport, whether 1t i HlNOlVGb ttlb ADtlAVlddWf Ok " bb&AHS with af1 eye as cold as q penguin i1 q pawnbroker's window. There is no emotion iii sport for him. He looks ct every game as critically as an architect does c blueprint. Any mistake fin judgment costs him money, 50 he cannot afford to take sides.
 Doyle was 6 red-hot Yankee er- thuSiast when hte season opened. He looked upon them a8 one of the greatest baseball teams of oil time, one of those rarities that come along now and then-a sure thing.
 His opening line on the Yankees to win the American League pen- nant was ' to 20. On the chance that you and your family frown on betting, and therefore do not know what I to 20 means, l, aS an old roue and black sheep, will explain. Seven to twenty means that if be-. fore the season started, you liked the aYnkS and wanted to bet ofl them you had to put twenty bucka to win seven. In other words. Doyle had them almost at to ,.
 Both New ! to 5
 Well, the Yankees can draw 6 bit eof hope from the present Doyle odds, Despite the fact that they are no longer the prohibitive favor ites. Tn his cold dour reasoning Jack puts the odds on the Yanka at 2 to 5. That is the same price he quotes on the Boston Red Sox This can only mean that despite tho lowly standing of the Tanks at the moment, he considers them strong enough to overcome the early season lead of the men from Bos- ton.
 These odds are g tribute to the Red Sox, too, because Doyle;s first line priced them at 9 to 2 or 4 1.2 to 1.
 Doyle has yet to be sold on the Cleveland Indians. He admits that Bobby Felelr is baseball's greatest pitcher, an dthat Oscar Witt finally has brought spirit and morale to a club which lacked these uplifting qualities for years, but he can't see 'em winning. His first or preseason price on the Indians was 8 to 1 and

Local Interest Mounts in Third Meeting of CiarIO
 and Cartegena

Three classes of boxers and fight CTS are included on the ring pro- gram arranged for the opening of the outdoor season tomorrow night ct Randolph Cloves stadium by the management of the Waterbury A. c. Bantamweights, mlddleWeights and welterweights are listed for action, with the latter class having the big edge, as both eight round bouts feature the boys who scale between l37 and l45.
 Little Tcllers
 Earl Roys of Bristol and Al Hun ter of New York are paired in 6 four round opening bout at lie pounds, thc bantamweight limit while the second bout will show a couple of husky middlewelghts, Max Katz and Jim Collif.S, 166 pound boys who are rated hard- hitterS and care little about the fancy side of the ring game.
 Lloyd Lasky of New York, q 13S pound boy takes on Joey Polowitzer of Windsor Locks in a six round go that ought to keep the customers on edge. The boy from the big city will be favored to win, but he may get knocked out trying, for poloWitzer is 8 deadly seeker with his south paw and has knocked many a foe kicking, after trailing on points Best Bout?
 Tommy Ciarlo and Benny Carte- gena are to hook tip for the third time at 139 pounds and all they have to do $ come somewhere near their last performance and everyone will be happy. It is an eight round battle that ought to be the best on the card, unless Bobby Masters proves unusually able for Dick Tur- cote, who was to have met Bobby Ellis, though Mastres' record and the opinion of Eddie Dolan who boxed Masters twice, says that Tur- cote will have plenty of troublbe outpointing the 1rish-American boy from Philadelphia.

DEVON REDHEAD
 BEATS KOGON SECOND TIME
Ring Rivals Thrill Crowd of 5000 at New Haven;
 Suffer Eye Injuries
BY HUGO HOOKJAB

New Haven May 2i-Johnny "Red" Moffett, the Devon Destroyer, punched his way into the number one slot of Connecticut's paid per- formers who sling the leather for Q livelihood wherever and whenever they can. Moifett proved conclusive ly that he is the ring master of the able Jewish lad Julie Kogon, when he outslugged Hogan before 5000 people here tonight in New Haven Arena. It was great fight, all tho way. Referee Billy Taylors card showed Moifett 6 winner by two points 37 to 36 and that Is just about the story, aside from Moifett's con- tinual willingness to lead and make" the fight as Kogan hung back and tried to counter-punch his way to e win.
 Won Two Rounds
 Tn two rounds, the second, when he caught Moffett With q right cross that "knocked him bow legged" and the seventh when he came out to fight and won the round easily, Ko- gan looked like the 2 and 3 to 1 fa- vorite that the betting gentry made him before the battle. Two months ago, when Moffett and Kogon met for the first time, the Jewish boy was Q 1 to 1 favorite, but Motfett beat him going away.
 This time 10 was closer, but Kogon was stuck to his old weakness -- he will not Head" or show aggressive ness, unless he connects with counter-puneh and follows up." Moffett outpointed kogon in the first round, but was nearly, knocked out in the second when his Well- protected chin opened long enough to allow lightnlng-liko shot to connect and put the Devon redhead on Queer street. Kogon followed up like the Nazi army but Red fought Savagely though his brains were scrambled and finisne dthe round without hitting the deck"
 Came to Life
 From then to the seventh round, Moffett piled Up points on boxing ability, aggressiyeneSs and body. punching as he used his six pound weight pull to good advantage. Kogon came out like 0 wildcat In tho seventh, apparently realizing he was In losing fight, unless he "came to life." Before the round was over, he had closed MoiYett's left blinker as tight as c new drumhead, won the round easily, and tried to repeat In the eighth and final heat, until q Moffett right hand caught him on the eye and broke open wound that made him look like an Indian who has wasted no war-paint. Mof- felt kept punching "downstairs' to tho Kogon mid-Section and finished with q little edge on the round and . well-deserved decision.
 Considerable coin changed hands on tho outcome, but, for once, there was little squawking on the verdict, even by the boys who laid the odds. Mofctt weighed i30, Kogon, l33.
