It has been suggested that if the

The modification would consist of
having the men start from the hori-
zontal instead of the vertical posi-
tion. The moment a prizetigfitcr
left the mat the referee would
start counting. Jr the lighter Icav-

Bout of 12
BY LE BOY D. DO\\'1\'S.
Young Mulligan of this City con-
vinced the fans who attended the
bouts of tho Norwalk Sporting Club
at the Armory lust cvcning. that. he
is the master of one Jim Bones of
Bridgeport. The local mitt artist in
the semi-final bout oi cight rounds.
scored a. decisive \ictory over his
hitter rival from the York city.
Bones saw more punches last eve-
ning. than he. has in any hunt for a.
great many moons. Mulligan start-
ed right after the Park City scrap-
per in the very lirst round and came
rushingout ut' his corner after shak-
ing hands, he poppml Hones right. on
the cnd ot ih'c button and it could
he sent then that Norwulk's Pride
was out to scnl‘v :i. Victory.

The best round for Bones was the
fourth. In this session he managed
to hold the local hey on cvcn terms.
and landed several punches. but. they
(Ilil not carry Eil'l‘lll enough to slow
Mulligan up.
In the scvcnth canto. Mulligan had

and from then until the final boll.
he was content to let Mulligan do
the lighting.
A great cheer that lasted several
seconds went up from the crowd as
".llggcr" McCarthy 0! New Haven.
who was the third man in the ring
raised the hand of Mulligan in token
of victory. There was not a single
dissenting voice in the building.
There was no doubt about the result.
it was a. clear cut and decisive vic-
tory. Mulligan looked better in his
bout last evening than at any time
during his career. He was on top
of Bones fromthe start until the final
hell and had the Bridgeport scrap—
pcr missing freely. iic demonstrat-
cd that he is a real tighter and one
who will go high in the ring game,
if he is taken care of and takes care
of himself. As the result of his
_\ictory last evening. he may be put
on in the final bout at the Armory
on the next card against some fast
boy from New York City.
The main bout of 12 rounds be-
tween Ruby Stein of Bpooklyn and
Steve Smith of Bridgeport. was also
a fast contest. The Park City bat-
tler continued to pile up points dur-
ing the entire bout and there was
no doubt as to the victor. as the
final bell rang.
The eighth, ninth and last round.
were Smith's best. During these
sessions he landed many hard and
telling punches and in the ninth had
the lad from Brooklyn bewildered
by his 5pm.
In the last session, he Openeds
cut over Stein's létt eye that bled
freely as he walked to his corner.
The decision given to Smith by Ref-
eree McCarthy. was a. very popular
one and met with the approval of
the fans.
Smith looked much better in his
bout: last evening, than in any of his
previous engagements. He is going
along at. a. fast clip at the present
time and will be booked for another
showing at the local club.» .
Joe Smith of Bridgeport clearly
outclassed Charlie Stecher of Stam-
ford in the six round bout onkthe
card. He knocked Stecher down for
, the count of 'nine in the fifth rounds

LACK OF TEAM
IN METROPOLIS
REAL MY§TERY
(By NORMAN E. BROWN)
One impression of the South that
sticks with me is why a metropolis
the size of Montgomery. Ala, has
no minor league baseball team.
The town is interested enough
in the. game to give Connie Mack
and his Athletics the key tothe
city. The municipality is located in
the very heart of the region includ-
ed Within the boundaries of the
Southern Association. It. has a. pop-
ulation that exceeds that. or many
towns in the larger minor circuits——
the Southern and American Associa-
tions and the Pacific Coast League.
And yet, when the ‘Athletlcs pull
their freight every spring the town
is left with nothing but Collegiate
inter-scholastic. and semi-pro ball.

Association at one time and dropped
