Bridgeport JOHNNY “RED” ALLEN SIGNED TO BATTLE PETE AUGUST Bitter Rivals Slated to Clash in Main Bout on July 20 at State Street Arena—Billy Prince To Clash With Steve Culver in Semi-final —-Willie Mack Signs BRIDGEPOR'I‘, July 0 .-Iiiatch- maker Al Jennings of the New Eng- land Sporting club has compiaed his program of bouts to be staged at the State Street Arena. on July 20. a week from Monday night. The main contest of ten rounds will bring to- gether Johnny Red Allen of Bridge- port and Pete August, claimant of the New England lightweight cham- pionship. They are bitter rivals and a lli‘lll' ll contest should result, Four classy six rounders complete the program. The semi-final will find Biily Prince. the one time Hoi- low favorite in a comeback attempt against Steve Culver. the rising youngster who made a clean sweep of all his professional bouts. Willis Mack of Stamford and Leo Johnson will battle at 128 pounds. Mack recently knocked out Young Teddy of Westport while Johnson is a well known Park City favorite. Bobby Walker. is touted Staten Is- land featherweight, will meet Butch Bender, a protege of Jennings. who is said to pack a lusty wallop. The opener will find Jack Hamilton. the Stratford college boy and Tommy Jarrett of New Haven trading punch. es. Hamilton is former state amateur featherweight champion. ' Sports Done ' By Brown “Long Jim" Barnes is a happy man these days. He has finally caught the will-o-thc-wisp. He is watching the sparkling bag of gold at the end of the golfing rainbow. Which is to state that Barnes finally wears the British open crown, won a few days ago. Americans were all glad to see an American—at least one we choose to call an American—win the British event. Barnes is a British bred golfer, as is Jock Hutchison. one of the other two Americans to win the coveted for- eign title. “Falter Hagen is the only home bred star to cop the title. But that Barnes. of all those en- tered. should win it. seemed most fitting. Three years had he. won the west- ern open. next in importance to the two national tourncys. And once had he baskcd in the limelight that goes with the na- tional open. Not that Jim likes the limelight. Golfing is a hobby and a business with him. He likes it and it is his business. He does not seek the limelight for the gla- mor of it. But he wanted that British open. In 1922 Barnes tried for the Bri- tish open. to finish tied for second place with George Duncan. Wal- ter Hagen won that year. Last year, Barnes tried again but failed dismnlly. lie finished ninth -——whlie Hagen was winning the crown for the second time in three years. Then came Jim's belated victory this year. His \ictory was sweet for many reasons, For one thing there was that raw deal handed him last year in the. national opt-n tourney. flames was latetin sending in his entry. The over-zealous officials hold to the letter of the rule. and liill“‘li him. Then came the open this year. Barnes was a forgotten star. No one followed his game. He might have been playing a practice round as far as attention was concerned. How Jim must smile these days as he recalls those two little snubs!

He has been unattached for a year. He probably won't make the capital of his newly won honors that many a star would. He isn't built that way. Somehow or other he can't step out and peddle his golf. He plays it well but peddles it poorly. f s Speaking of the British open tourney. Give MacDonald Smith. British bred, but American by adoption. credit for trying to win that consarned title. In 19:13 Smith battled his way to third place. In 1024 he made another valiant try and landed in the same place. This year he wound up fourth. That he played beautiful golf at times is at- tested to by the fact that he broke the course record on two different occasions during the tourncys. His failure. however, to play consistent golf kept him front loading the field to the finish. COVELESKIE IS BEST PITCHER IN AMERICAN Veteran Twirler Has Won 11 Out of 12 Games for the Sena- tors NFAV YORK. July (is-(AP). The veteran spitballer Stanley Coveles- klc, 11 Cleveland cast-off traded to Washington last season. today is the lending twirier in the American League with eleven victories out of twelve satrls. Tris Speaker probably regrets move that he thought Covey‘s lust days were over. Covey markedup his latest tri- umph for the world champions yes- terday by a 10 to 2 victory over the White Sox which gives the Senators a grip at the head of the American League by two and one half games. The Athletics broke even with Cleveland. The Indians took the first game. 14 to 3. pounding four Philadelphia pitchers for 19 hits. In the second encounter L‘ddie Rommel checked the Cleveland bat- ting sprce and the Mackmen won. 7 to 5. Detroit hung up a double victory over the Iled Sox; 5 to 0 and 8 to 2. In the first shut-out the Tigers have enjoyed this year, Dauss allowed Boston but six hits. Hellmann. Bengal outfield. hit a home run in each game. The Yankees' losing streak. which had stretched to four games stopped with a. victory over the Browns in a icese game. Babe Ruth's seventh home run of the year with one on base in the third inning helped the Hugmen to a six to four verdict. Each club used three pitchers. Rain caused a lull on the National League front. two combats between the Pirates and the Giants going over to Joday. One game still sep- arates the McGraw club from the peak.

July 0.——It has been leiIrned that the Giants had turned down an offer of $40,000 from the Boston Braves for Freddy Maguire, the second baseman. who is out on option with Toledo. The New York club has placed a price of 350.000 on Maguire for the Braves. and this figure is likely to go up before the season grows very much older. \\'hcn Maguire was sent to Toledo ‘ clubs had it ' inst hilllllllel‘. several chance to land him for something, Joe Bush Is Baseball’s Nero; (V ‘He fiddler: While Yanks Burn ’ W Joe liush. \ctcriin pitcher. was diseanlcd last winter by the Yankees —traded to the St. Louis Browns with two youngsters for L'rban Shocker.

Freddy always could handle himself in the field. where he looks like a ringer for Eddie Collins. but while he was with the Giants ht! lacked hitting strength. He has owr come that weakness with Toledo. Maiguire came to the Giants from Holy Cross college. Last season— his first with Toledo—he was handi- capped greatiy by injuries. This year he got off to a great start and has attracted the attention of every major league scout in the country. Freddy is one of those reserves on whom the Giants could call if they had to. Certainly John J. McGraw is well protected against injuries this season. and he has neded all the protection he has had at his command. with the exception of Maguire. Boston would like to land Ma~ gun-o to plug up the hole at second base which has been bothering Dave Bancroft all season. Some of the scouts say that Maguirs would be cheap at $50,000.

Donohue today declared that Babe Herman would not be per- mitted to meet Louis (Kid) Kaplan for the featherweight championship in Connecticut if he engaged in a bout either in this state or any other state before the battle with Kaplsn. Commissioner Donohue's siatempnt follows the announcement by a New Haven paper that Babe Herman had been matched --to meet Mickey Tra. vers in New Haven on July 16. , “I will not permit Connecticut's first championship bout in years to be Jeopardized." declared the Com- missioner. "After all the trouble we have gone through to give a. Connecticut promoter the opport n- ity of staging the battle. it would a shame to have the bottom knock- ed out by having one of the chief opponents meet some else first. risk- ing a defeat. Herman cannot en. gage in a bout with anyone either in this state or in any state until he meets Kaplan.

July 9.—Thc yarn that Jack Kearns is going to slip Jack Dempsey's crown under Jiin 51.110003“! pillow at Boston is fol- lowed by a real big tip that the champion of the world will defend his world's heavyweight title against Gena 'l‘unney THIS YEAR. There is a great hustle and bustle about Billy Gibson's office and strange too. Gene has called off a list, of bouts on the prclex that he has stubbcd liis too or some such calamity. Tito real story back of all this is that there is something in the wind. 'l‘unnny earned the right to do some shouting when he stopped Tom Gib- bons. a trick that Dempsey couldn't turn. If they meet it would not be well for Dempsey to decide just before the fray that he can not make the training grade and more. for Ma- loney might rise right up on Bunker Hill and say, “Didn't I TELL you? He is using Tunney instead of me." A Tunney-Dempsey bout is the logical result of the former's defeat SPORT BARR/1 GE Chat and Comment of Special Interest to I Norwalk Fans By 1030?. D.
