host of friends cheering and the po-

the center of the town.

"\Vliitey" wanted to know what it
was all about. Suppose he did beat
the pick of the country's runners at
Baltimore Saturday. \tht of it?
That's what he was there for. wasn't
it? thy all the fuss and excitement
and waking folks up at an unearthly
hour of the morning?

It was nice to have friends all

home. to slccp. not to celebrate and
besides there was :1 job to think about

Friends Who aim

The Stamford police a little later
got a. message something like this:

"Say. Wer're bringing "Whitey"
Michaelson home. Don't think we're
crazy or anything like that when we
hit the town. and don't arrest us for
making a lot of noise.”

Then the parade started. Through
Port Chester. into Greenwich. through
Sound Beach they swept blowing
horns. cheering like mad. and then
headed for Stamford. which was
reached along about daybreak.

The machines stopped at the civic
center. Their drivers gave an im-
promptu concert with auto horns and
"Whitey" was asked to make a speech
The speech he made wasz—"tnke me
home." And there was nothing else
to do. but just. that.

"Whitey" had a couple of pictures
of himself that a Baltimore newspaper
photographer made at the finish line

Coming back from Baltimore he
stopped off at the Cygnet club house

marathon wearing the club colors—-
to say hello to the boys. Then he
ambled mer to the railroad station to
wait. for :1 Stamford train.

Meanwhile members of the club
had been busy on the telephone.
" ‘W'hitey' is back" was the word that
went up and down the line. Pretty
soon a. fleet of automobiles began as-
sembling in Port Chester. \thn a. doz-

STAMFORD. June Ill—Louis Bo-
gash. by common consent the

make his initial apperancc in Siam-
ford Friday night when he takes on
George Shade. middleweight of the
fighting Shade clan of California. in
a. twelevs round bout at St. Mary‘s
ball park.

The fight appears to he the best
attraction offered the Stamford fistlc
followers in years and all indications
point to n record breaking attendance.
Bognsh has never before done his
stuff in this city.

Shade. :1 memivcr of Leo P. Flynn's
extensive stable of fighters, is a. rough.
tough gent. with a sleep-producing
sock in his right mitt, and should
make things exceedingly interesting
for “Loocy”, according to the, dope.

The Golden Gate boxer has met
most of the tough ones in the middle-
"eight division.

Young Mulligan. the shifty Bridge-
port bantamweiaht will stack up
against W'illie Connors. clever Green-
wich Irishman in the semi-final event
of eight rounds. Connor has been
coming along at a right smart clip of
late and promises to whip the Bridge—
porter.

Eddie Corbett. the Hartford light-
weight who created such a splendid
impression in Bridgeport last Thurs-
day night. will tangle with “'aiter
“Young" Eddy. the veteran fighter of
Greenwich for six rounds.

Wilda lay in a corner of the ring.

dust. The referee methodically
counted off the seconds that meant
the passing of a “mighty atom" of
the ring. There was the stillness of
death.

"Ten" laid Referee Patsy Haley.
He raised Villas ribs: glove above
his head in token of the arrival of a.
new King of swat. Wilde's seconds
dragged him to his corner. After a
minute or two he was revived. As he
slowly ciambored through the ropes

and cheered him for fully five min-
mas. It was a remarkable tribute to
the gamut of game little men. who
spotting hia' tiger like antagonist ten
years in age simply would not quit
until nature “called a halL

Almost at the beginning he was all
but out when the boil rang. Again in
the second' a right hook dropped‘bim
but \Vilde fought. on. striving weakly
to stave off the rushes of his furious
antagonist. Villa. even at th stage
of the fight. scented victory and
was keen to get it‘s quickly as pos-
aible. Just as the boil rang Villa
slammed a terrific right to the chin.
Wilde went down. He was dragged to
his corner.

In the third round the title holder
suddenly seemed to recover but it
was only a. flash in the pan.

Again in the sixth round Villa shot
a. fulisade of rights and lofts to the
law and body. Wilde tattered to his
corner just barely able to stay on his
feet. Referee Haley asked him if he
wantd to continue. Wilde‘s.) jaw
tightened. Bleeding from a cut. over
his right eye he turned away his
head and absolutely refused to listen.

The beginning of the and saw Vil-
la slamming the badly battered little
Englishman all over the ring and the
«own! yelling to stop it. Then a. hard
right to the jaw ended the fight.

In the semi-final Carl Tremaine
lost a ton round decision to Harry
Gordon.
