Four Right Hand Smashes to Jaw Turn Trick in
Sixth Round-Local Lad Outpunches Op-
n
ponent— Continues Good Work— K. 0.
“Phil" Kaplan Puts “Rocky” Smith to Sleep
By LE ROY D. DO‘VNS.
Four right hand smashes. all of
which landed on the law of Kid
Lewis. brought home the bacon for
Young lulilgan. state bantamweight
champion. at the Foot Guard Ar-
Inory in Hartford last evening.
The bout between Mulligan and
Lewis was scheduled to go ten
rounds. but it never went past the
sixth session. This was the canto
in which the local lad started his
pile driving right band playing a tat-
too on Lewis' Jaw and than it was
curtains.
Lewis was in the pink of condition
bl’ the bout. having put. in some real
urd training and in the opening
round demonstrated this fact. In
this session he stepped around the
squared circle at a last clip and dis-
played a good left jab that found it's
mark several times.
The Harttord boy kept up the
good work in the second round al-
so. In the third Mulligan started
to pick up speed and from that time
until the end of the bout the local
lad continued to pile up a lead.
Mulligan from the third session on
outpunched his opponent. shooting
in lofts and rights which always
found their mark. His hooks were
landing on their mark before inw-
ls's swings were half way over.

Battery practice has already
started at the College of the City
of New York with Assistant Coach
Hal J. Parker taking charge of the
candidates at the Lavender gym.
Several of the baseball men on the
basketball squad have not turned out
yet.
Head Coach Nat Holman is away
on a tour playing basketball. so the
Lavender hurlers will not have the
benefit of his coaching for a week
or so 'Holman is one of the best

.hittlng college nines in the country.
Halsey turned in a record of low-
scoring games which made his rank
with'such pitchers as Carroll and
Torpe in point of effectiveness.
He might have gone through the
season undefeated if City's batters
had given him any sort of support
in the openln game with St. John's
~Vhen the Drooklynltos lowered the
"Lavender's colors in a poorly play-
ed contest.
Josephson has been keeping in

_start of the season and then play-
dng with the second team. He is in

To support the big righhhander
in the box. City College will have two
other veterans. “'idgerson and ado-‘-
er. Moder turned in several we‘l-
pitched games toward the end of the
season. and with plenty of work in
practice to teach him control. he may
become a valuable than to the Lav-

Bill Schwartz is a very promising
flght-bander with an assortment of
stuff. He needs better control to
make the grade. Holman. an expert
in teaching pitchers. should find
Schwartz a flood prospect. and if he
can get him to find the plate with
.‘ greater frequency the former fresh-
man star should be able to take his
(”regular turn on the mound.

In‘ the passing of the pitcher. it
