KopIon's Title Saved by Sheehon Twenty Years Ago

sportswriter in the state to name
 his number one referee, Big Dave Fitzgerald of New Haven. as capable and honest 8 man aB ever stepped between two boxers anywhere. Donahue's explanation after the fight, as to why Eitz- gerald was not named was eoE ridiculous that 1t is worthy Of repetition at this time, % years later. He said: I did not appoint MT. Fitzgerald because the news papers had led every fan in the state to believe he would be the man I did not want a referee that had been generally accepted by the public as going to work. wanted a NEUTRAL party so I named Jack Sheehan of Boston and if Sheehan hadn't worked | had Jack Sheridan of New York on hand to referee"
 Fitzgerald, as late as 6 p. m. on the night of the fight under stood he was to referee the worlds title bout, which would be the crowning effort of his ring career as an official. He was re- ported to have thrown his boxing shoes into the Naugatuck river on the way home to New Haven; vowing that he would mail back his referees license the next day: and would never referee another boxing bout in Connecticut as long as Donahue was a comnis- sioner. HE NEVER DID. Within the past two years, he has climbed into New Haven ring to handle 8 main bout, at the invitation ok Frank s. Coskey, until last July l, state athletic commissioner for the past seven years.
 George Underwood, New YCIi Telegram boxing expert, was on of the few writers who gave Hernnal a chance to lift Kaplan's title.

SiIvernon Boss
 Of CoIIuhon A. C.

Boston, Aug. 28-(UP) = Pudgy Sam Silverman, matchmaking im- pressario of half-dozen small New England fight clubs, makes his big time debut as boss of the Callahan A. c. when he stages an 'all-star" boxing show at Mechanics Building Sept. 10.
 Feature of the four scheduled 10 round Gbouts that top the card will be Buddy Hayes, novice feather weight from the city's South End, who will be making his first home town appearance as 8 headliner in 8 bout with rugged Leo Macucci of Portland, Me.
 Hayes, almost a constant per- former at Worcester, has set some sort of record by piling up some 18 straight wins in a single club. He is being hailed as the latest mighty midget from the region that already has produced two feather cham pions-Willie Pep and Sal Bartolo.
 In other scheduled bouts on the show Ernie Forte of Providence, R. T., meets Freddie Cabral of Cam bridge; Willard Buckless of Saugus faces Bobby Zollo of Providence; {; and Tommy Moore of South Boston battles ole Montiero of Wareham.

SIX SERVICE
 MEN ON MANN- ALFANO CARD

United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard will be rep- resented by ex-servicemen in every one of the five bouts scheduled for the Waterbury A. C.. fight card Thursday night at Municipal Sta dium. and headed by Nathan Mann of Hamden, New England heavy weight champion who meets Mike Alfano of Newark, NJ in the main bout of ten rounds.
 Mann; a member of the U. s. Coast Guard for nearly three years, faces a severe test in Alfano, who has been fighting steadily on the west coast this summer and last year, while Mann has had no serious ring action aside from CG bouts.
 Action Ahead
 Irish Billy Walker of Portland, Oregon was U. s. Navy boy up to last June. His bout. the six-round semi final against Stamford's John ny Rice, is apt to be crammed with action from start to finish and will rival the main go for the fans favor.
 Tony Zeri of Stamford who meets Hartford's Johnny Duke in a sixer, is not long out of the U. s. Marine Corps and scored a knockout in his most recent test.
 Gunner Bob Miller of New York, a 195 pounder Navy man until re- gently, meets Dula Kovach of Naug- atuck, also 195 pound battler who showed up very well on the Eagle Mauriello card by outslugging POS pound Sal Berardino of New York, protege of Tami Mauriello. Miller replaces 250 pound Gilbert Strom- quist of Texas in six round bout.
 Danbury's able little battler Bobby Holt, one of colored twins, was re- gently discharged honorably from the U. s. Army. He meets Water bury's Al Donofrio in the opening four round bout.

One of the funnier angles 0f the fight was the following: Les Richs ards, manager of featherwe1gnG boxer from Los Angeles, spent sey- eral dollars for telegram chal~ lenging the winner of the Kaplan- Herman bout but forgot to erclose the name of his protege, So tnG challenge was passed up and for gotten as if it were gasoline xa- ton coupon Here's another nifty recording from ringside: Babe Herman sneaked into the ring al~ most unnoticed. When Kaplan en- tered, there was a mighty roar, from his admirers. After the battle, the Kid could have walked down Colony street in his home town without causing Q cheer.

Big 4 of Golf Tackle Ooknont

Oakmont, Pa, Aug. 28-(UP)-A question that has been bothering old-time golfing skeptics may be answered today when four top pro- fessionals tackle the formidable fairways of Oakmont in a $l0,000 "Blue Ribbon" tournament.
 What the old-tdmers want to know is whether the current par breaking crop of pros can shoot under regulation figures over really tough layout. Oakmont's 7,100- yard Hutton course may provide the answer for Byron Nelson, Sammy Snead, Harold (Jug) McSpaden and Gene Sarazen.
 First prize is $2,500. second $1 800: third $1,250, and fourth $750. The low scorer for each 18 holes will receive $1,000.
