If some promising young psychologist ever wants 10
analyzing the alumni of a college. They're a distinct type
and no question about it. At least they are different on
SATURDAYS when a football game is coming up.
during the week, the alumnus may peddle insurance,
sell groceries and be just like everyone else. But When

Jack Kearns May Buck Jacobs
AS Baer-C omiskey Promoter

wealthy Irish business men, resid-
ing in three New Jersey cities:
Paterson, Passaic and Hackensack
will $50 the Limit"
Close friends of Kearns say that
these hackers are such warm adj
mirers of hard-hitting Comiskey
that they will make the sky the
limit" in supporting the Baer fight,
since it gives Comiskey a golden
opportunity of making q quick
move toward a title fight with Joe
Louis.
These hackers will discover that
the Baer-C omiskey battle will be a
very expensive promotion, indeed
Hoffman and Baer will demand a
guarantee Of at least 5000, with
the alternate privilege of taking a
big percentage of the gate.
Moreover, Abe Green-New Jer-
sey's one-man boxing commission
has informed Promoter Kearns and
hackers that they must put up &c.
600 to guarantee the payment Of all
promotional expenses before he will
sanction the match.
If Kearns can put this fight over
it'll certainly be a feather in hi:
helmet because it stands out as the
pugilistic plum Of the year-a bout
that may draw 5000, 900. It will b.
the most important independently
promoted fight in the United States
since Mike Jacobs monopoly began
to function six years ago.

VARSITY GIRLS WIN
FROM ST. MARY'S l9=ll

A 18-hit batting spree by the VAR
sity Girls last night swamped the
Oakville lassies, 1911 and gave the
locals a record of five wins in their
last ten starts.
Every one Of the Varsity Girls
joined in the hitting with Rose De-
Leon and Sue Colella standing out.
The locals blasted out IL runs in
the first two innings by getting six
in one frame on three triples, a
single, q double, and a walk. The
other five came on a home run by
Jean Caparso with the bases loaded
and successive doubles by the lat
ter's sister and Sue Colella.
All this bombardment made 1t
easy for the hitting pitcher Rose
DeLeon by allowing only nine scat
tered hits.
The Varsity Girls meet the st.
Lucy Girls on Friday night and on
Tuesday night have a return en-
gagement with st. Mary's.

|SOOSE BEATS ZALE
in CHICAGO BOUT

Chicago, Aug. 22.-(UP)) - Just
what the middleweight division
needed was another champion"
and here he is-Young Billy Soose
First Billy disposed of New York's
champion Ken Overlin, then, in
complete command for the last
eight rounds last night, he peppered
N. B. A. champion Tony Zale into
submission before a stunned crowd
that expected to see the same dew
astating Yale who technically
knocked out AL Hostak only a
month ago.
Zale weighed 1871. Soose 1852. Soose
beats the champions but he has no
title. Neither Overlin nor Yale
risked his crown against Billy. The
Penn State collegian, however, ac-
cepted the match with Yale on con-
dition he could have a title re-
match If he made a good showing.
He showed them after his first
two "feeler" rounds. Soose knew all
about those roundhouse body rights
that caused Hostak's collapse and
he kept his eye peeled. During that
interlude, zale won his only two
rounds.
Then Billy opened up. He stuck
his long left jab in the champions
face and daubed 1t there like @
paint brush for the rest of the way.

Hit Game

Roland Squirrel" Gleason, a
fourteen-year-old lad with plenty
Of smoke and a varied assortment
Of hooks, hurled the Springfield
Atlantics to q well-deserved 4 to
victory over the Waterbury Attain
tics yesterday afternoon at Munich
pal Stadium before 400 fans in an
elimination game sponsored by the
Atlantic Baseball School, recently
conducted here under the auspices
Of Ira Thomas, member of five
world championship teams, Jack
Barry, Holy Cross baseball coach,
and Hop Riopel.
Avery Rawlinson, elongated south
paw hurler from WATERFOWL high
school, worked on the mound for
the locals and after a very bad
first inning in which he issued three
bases on balls and two safeties
which netted the visitors three runs,
settled down and pitched fine ball
the remainder Of the nine inning
contest.
Too Many Miscues
Six errors, several Of them on
easy chances, were charged against
the local entry two Of them COM
ing in the first frame when three
Springfield lads crossed the plate.
Waterbury did not get a hit until
the fifth inning when Jimmy Longo
doubled down the left field line
with none out. On the next play
the batsman grounded to shortshor
and Longo was an easy out at third.
Gleason scattered six Waterbury
hits and only in the sixth inning
when the third baseman missed
tagging Rawlinson sliding into third
was he ever in trouble. That play
seemed to rattle Gleason bit and
before the frame was over two local
men had crossed the plate and three
runners were left on base when the
third man grounded out.
Won Two Straight
The victory was the second in
two days for Springfield who elimi-
mated Hartford the previous day,

new HAVEN BOY
SURE TO TEST
LOCAL RINGSTER
Meriden's Kid Sal Added
to AIl-ActiOn Fight Pro-
gram; Bell VS. Connerty
(BY HUGO HOOKJAB)

Waterbury fight fans, most Of
whom have never seen a boy who
could give Irish Eddie Dolan a busy
evening, will be on hand in large
numbers tonight when Johnny Bel
lus of New Haven comes to town
for his second fight with the local
welterweight star, within the past
three months. On the occasion of
their last meeting, Dolan won over
Bellus by a margin of two points,
according to the opinion that counts
most-the referee. Some thought
Dolan had a bigger margin and
there was a large delegation who
believed that Bellus' body punching
offset Dolan's cleverness andn the
worst that should have happened to
the New Haven boy was an even
Stephen nod, technically known as
a draw.
Good Advice
With the added advantage of the
ring knowledge of Charley Pilking-
ton to aid him for the past two
months, Bellus is figured to be even
more of a threat to Dolan tonight,
but the local boy, as always, will be
ready for whatever the partly-bald
Pole has to offer in the way of
new ring warfare. Dolan, z to
S favorite tonight, thinks Bellus will
be no tougher than "Cat" Robinson,
especially as he knows most of what
BelluS has to offer. Bellus, hard
right-hand puncher, has a devastat-
ing body attack that has wor ndown
plenty of classy opposition, and this
time he expects to have solved the
southpaw style that Dolan uses and
which has made him a winner of
% per cent of his bouts for the
past two years. All in all, Dolan
and Bellus should prove a whale
of a fiStic argument, which seems
to be the general opinion of the
fans, whose advance call for tickets
has delighted the officials of the
Waterbury A. c., sponsors Of the
show.
What shapes up as decided
change for the better has been made
in the substitution of King Sal
Carabetta of Meriden for Tommy
