BILL SMITH HAS
MANY LOCAL RING ARTISTS
Is Working Hard to BringYoung Mulligan to
Top—Says State Bantamweight Champ
Has Trained Well for Marlowe Boat and
Should Win—Most Important Battle
By LE ROY 1). DOWNS.
The fight. fans all know him as
Bill.
He is to Norwalk. what Leo Flynn
is to New York.
William 11. "Smoke" Smith is his
real name and he is responsible for
the ring careers of many of Nor-
walk's entries into pugiiistic cir-
' cles.
Rough and ready Bill is always
willing to give. any young boxer a
helping hand and a lift up the pn-
gllistic ladder.
At the present time he is the pilot
of Yoang Mulligan and has brought
him up from a preliminary scrup-
per to the State llaniamwcight
championship.
It was Smith who first uncovered
and brought to the front Battling
Kunz who was the holder of the
State Lightweight championship and
quit the ring when he was in his
prime;
Smith has waved a towel in the
corner of many boxers as a sec-
. and. acted as manager and at one
time eH-li acted as the 'third man
in the ring in a manner with credit
to himself.
He loves the boxing game and
wherever there is a boxing show in
this neck of the woods you will find
Bill Smith some where around the
ringside.
When Bud GorInon breezed into
this city from the west and was in
search of a manager. he heard of
Smith and hooked up with him. A
short time later Smith signed him
up for a bout with Jack lie. More in
Stamford and German won by a
wide margin.
German then received a chance to
sign with a New York manager who
had a large stable of scrappcrs and
instead of standing in IIis way and
holding out to retain the manager-
ship. because there. was a possible
chance of him making a good
.amount of money, Smith stcmtcd
aside and let llud sign with the New
York manager.
. Because of the fine spirit shown
by Smith. he was given a contract
which entitlcshim to ten per cent of
the ring earnings of the heavy-
weight. >
At the present litnc Bill is doing
his utmost to bring Young Mulligan
to a place among the. top notchers
‘ in the bantamwclght class. 110 ii

WESTERN TEAMS
Detroit Fared Worse in
Recent Games of West
Against West—Looks Now, As Ty Cobb
Says, East Will Again Win in American
League
lly JOHN ll. FOSTER.
(I‘upyright. 1925.)
NEW YORK. June 24—Thc east-
ern tours of the western clubs close
Monday and westerners trek back
to their own part. of the country to
continue their merry pastime of
beating each other up,
So for. the. w'est-against-west
games have resulted in almost an
even break. and this has been fine
for Philadelphia and Washington.
which have been rolling up a goodly
part of their percentage over the rest;
of the circuit by beating the Bostons
and the New York Yankees.’
“If on. of us can't streak out
ahead of the others pretty soon."
said Ty Cobb. speaking for the
western clubs. “l'm thinking the
shindy we're having will give the
pennant to the east.” And that.
incidentally. is what most. of the
baseball world is thinking.
In the west-against-west games so
far this season, Detroit has lost
more than any other club. This is
a particularly bitter pill for Cobb.
because he was sure he could lick
the west this year. and was counting
on that to a large degree when he
let his thoughts linger on pennant
possibilities.
The 'rtgéis have lost 18 games to
western rivals and wOu 13.
St. Louis has lost 16 “and won 18.
Cleveland has lost 14 and won 15.
Chicago has lost 14 and won 16.
Two things are evident from these
figures. The Detroits have got. to
make a hardei fight than any other
western clubs in Their own part: of
the world if they are to get any-
where. and the St. Louis and Chi-
cago clubs have been doing the bet-
ter battling in the home territory.
Another fact of great importance
is that the east is being helped by
the fact that the western clubs are
poking each other". eyes out. while
Washington and Philadelphia are
forging ahead partly because they
are smarter. and partly because the
west is far better matched in 11‘-
race than the east. That sort of
thing'has happened often in the Na-
tional League. and It is making itself
felt now in the American.
Cmform there doesn't seem to be
that the western program
get back Tuesday. and while
are biting each other's heads off. the
Washingtons and the Athletics will
be making such hay as they can in
the eastern half. provided New York
T . Boston doesn't run amuck. And
on present indications. neither of
them has a chance of. doing that sort
of thing.
Therefore. it is dollars to dough-
nuts that the cast will capture the
1925 championship. and that either
Philadelphia or Washington will be
the fortunate club.
Cobb still says that if his pitchers
would settle down he would get
started and come through with a
hasn't a pitcher now who is really
stable—and none of the ether west-
ern clubs can show any more in this
line than Cobb. Maybe OWen Car-
roll. the Holy Cross phenom. will
help Cobb when he gets started.
But if he doesn't. it looks like “good
night west." so far as championship
hopes are concerned.

Pulling Across the Ball, tho sev-

plain pulling across. from pulling
away from the
ball and from
pulling up at the
moment of im-
pact. This action
of tho body pulls
the clubhead di-
rectly across the
ball. imparting
the slice spin. The
persistent slicer
usually is guilty
of this fault. The
action with the
club. from driv-
er to utter. is
straight. forward.
Go forward with
the club. forcing
the clubhead with
your hands and fingers and let the
body follow after. The precise way to
do this is to ban: the body move in
unision with the ciubhead. but for
demonstrating purposes it is better
to let the body follow after. From

NEW YORK. Juno 24.-Scotty
Montieth, manager of Louis (Kid)
Kaplan. regarded in this state as the
featherweight champion of the world
drew an indefinite suspension from
the New York State Athletic Com-
mission yesterday when he became
involved in a heated debate with the
board over a ruling lust handed
down that Kaplan cannot fight in
this state until he meets Babe 11er-
man. Pacific Coast featherweight,
whose challenge for the title has
been in the hands of the commission
for many weeks.
Scotty's Scotch fighting blood ap-
parently became aroused and he said
things in the presence of the com-
missioners that offended them ex-
al-
leged that the "works" are set
against him here and that 'Louls
Kid Kaplan can't get. a. fair brake in
this state. Scotty even went so far
as to allege that the scrap at Mad-
ison Square Garden between Danny
Kramer. of Philadelphia. and Kap-
lan. which was one of the most im-
portant events in tho featerweight
elimination tournament, was “in the
bag' 'and that everything was set for
Kramer to get the decision.
The only thing that prevented the
carrying out of this nefarious plot,
Montelth is alleged to have told the
Boxing Commission yesterday, was
the fact that Kaplan was-able to stop
Kramer.
Muidoon Seems Riied
These warm words from the lips of
the usually diplomatic Montelth
seemed to rile William Muldoon
most painfully. It also stirred the
other commissioners to such an ex~
tent that it was voted immediately
that Monteith be suspended until
such time as he is able to prove his
sensational charges.
Kaplan was to have been matched
to meet Edouard Mascart. French
featherweight champion. at the new
Coney Island Stadium. This is the
bout that the boxing moguls refused
to sanction yesterday. on the ground
that Babe Herman had first call on
the Champion's services. ‘
Monteith was willing enough to
have Kapian meet Herman in Con-
necticut. where he said the newly-
eleeted featherweight king would be
sure of a square deal, but he would
not stand for the New York arrange-

quietly but none the less effectively
plans are going forward to make
New York the home of the greatest
professional football team C‘CI‘ got
together.
Hardly a graduate football star.

caped the siren voice of Billy Gib-
son. the boxlng manager and his
colleagues in the enterprise of en-
deavoring to show the world the
real reason why stalwart young
men go to college.
Already enough stars of proven
ability have signed or promised to
sign to insure. Carney: who cap-
tained the Navy eleven two years
ago and is new one of t engineers
in the New York subway tells the
writer that Henry. the former

erican tackle. who already has fig-
ured in pro-football. will be seen in

who won fame in the Army back-
field and Joe Alexander. of Syra-
cuse. will also play.
it is possible that Carney himse
will resume the headguard which it
cast aside when he was graduate
from the Naval Academy. All i
all. especially in view of the fat
that Robert Foiwell. until reecntt
coach at the Navy is to coach th
team, it is difficult to see what prt
fessional eleven will be able to stun
against the New York Giants. 1.

KING SOLOMON
WINS VERDICT
OVER STONE
Effective L e f t Hook
Wins f o r Hebrew
Heavyweightat
Coney Island
NEW YORK. June 24.—King Sol-
omon. the Hebrew heavyweight,
sprang quite a surprise last night in
the ten-round feature contest at the
Coney Island stadium. when he took
the verdict over Ad Stone. the fight-
ing‘ Marine of Philadelphia. Solo.
mon displayed an accurate left hook.
and Stone, who has been idle since
his bout about eight months ago
with Young Stribling. was plainly
short of fighting.
It was a very good boot for the big
fellows. Stone. while far from the
form he has shown here in previous
contests. played throughout for the
body. He landed hard and often
with this punch and was unable to
get away from Solomon's left. More-
over. Stone was rather slow in get-
ting startEd and usually let his oppo-
nent set the pace.
Solomon got off to Quite a lead in
the first three rounds and Stone came
back strong in the next five. It
seemed as though Ad might be able
to even things ”up as the finish near-
ed. but in the last round Solomon
set the pace and managed to Clinch
the verdict. Solomon weighed 184
1- 2 pounds and Stone 17! 1-4.
The scheduled ten~round semi-
final was short and not exactly sweet.
