him. for permission to hold a battle
between Jack Denim-y and Jack
Sharkey on July so. The commis-
sion's action is fraught with signin-
canoe, not so much because oi the
more refusal of the application. but
because of the manner in which
the decision was reached.
James A. Farley. Chairman of the
Commission. was against the bout:
William Muldeon was for it on the
[round that it was a sportsmsnliko
nature on the part of Delaney; Mul-
doon was supported by George
Brower. the third member of the
commission.
The question was put to a vote on a
motion made by Mr. Brewer. and
. Farley invited Col. Phelun to vote,
which he did. supporting Farley.
- Whoreupen Commissioner Brewer
'pbjected. remarking that Col. Phel-
an had no power to vote on matters
solely under the jurisdiction of the'
Boxing Commission.
Argument ensued, during which
-- r. Brewer declared he would show
that under the law Col. Phelan is
not entitled to vote on questions of
this nature. Later on Mr. Brewer
withdrew his motion to
question to a. vote and so the mat-
ter ended.
And now the significant part of
it all is that if Brewer's contention
that Col. Phclnn is not entitled to
Vote in the conclnvcs of the Boxing
Commission. then there will be no
chance for the Colonel to uphold
the Chairman of the Commission
when it comes to a question of
whether or not a Wills-Tunney fight
should be held in N. Y. whether or
not. Tex Iiickard's license should be
revoked it he stages the Dempsey-
Tunncy match in Chicago or wheth-
er or not there should be a Wills
and Dempsey fight in New York.

‘PASTIMES AND
WEST ENDS’
PLAY SUNDAY
East Norwalk Nine Hopes
To Prove Their Right To
Nat Series.
Jake Nathan. manager of the Pas-
time hascliall club. is trying hard to
bring the best attractions possible to
the Staples FIt‘IiI diamond in an al-
tenipt to arouse the lntcrt‘st, of the
many baseball fans in i-Znst Norwalk.
'l‘his Sunday at that field the fast
West Ends of Stamford. runners up
for the city championship. will t'ur~
nisli the opposition. The \tsltors
were defeated luv the Spriugwood
Nationals last work. in a close game.
The Pastimes hope to defeat the.
Springwoods.
\t'itli llick Warm on the mound
and Ilcnry Warm behind the lint a
better battery is hard to find. Dick
is one of the best pitchers in the
state and the Springweods would
have a. ‘hard time trying to hit him.
Last. Sunday at the Staples Field
the Pastimes defeated the Cove A. C.
of Stamford by a 6-1 score. This
same team defcatcd thc Spriugwoods
and still the latter tell the Pastimes
to get a reputation. A series he-
twecn the two teamswould draw big
and would solve the problem of. the
city championship.
By GEORGE SISLER.
(Greatest of First Basemcn.)
No one. unless he is a. sure catch.
in first base.
5mlillitiltdoxi’ilyyshould he be a sure catch
on thrown balls that he is able to
handle with both hands. but he
must become equally proficient with
l ved hand.
thIt‘lzu been figured that at least
30 per cent of the men retired die
at first base. This makes it very ap-
parent why it is so necessary that
the first-sucker be well nigh perfect
in handling thrown balls.
task far less difficult if he makes a
careful study of the opposing bat—
ters. Then. after learning the
strength and weakness of the rival
team he should seek to put into ex-
ecution the knowledge thus gained.
I Knowing where a batter is most
* likely to hit the ball enables a first
baseman to more a step or two or
even more to his'right or left in or.
der to get that much of a jump on
the ball, should the batter's effert
run true to form.
In the major leagues there are
certain players known as ”line-hit-
ters." By that. I mean players who
are notorious right field hitters and
are more likely to pull the ball
down the line rather than between
the first and second basemen.
On such players it is well to hug
the line-closely. . t
The first baseman should always
make an effort to get to the being
quickly as possible. so as to off a
set target to the infielder about to
make the throw. Incidentally. one is
usually more sure while waitingfifor
the ball than handling it on illit-
fun. J
On fast nit. balls it is often-neces-

It is interesting to note the rent."
of our inland game "and pan fish.
Generally speaking the dISli‘IIJLIIIOl:
is about as follows: Small-mouth
black bass. from Ontario west.
across Canada. to eastern New Bruits.
\vick. south and east to north Geor-
gia. through the middle and western
states.
The largo-month bass. more aptly
termed by Dr. Ilenshall as "the game
fish of the people." covers much the
same range but extends to south
Florida. along the Gulf of Mexico
and over all the southern states.
The musk-y area extends from the
Lake of the Woods. in Ontario, east
through that province. in some. wa-
tcrs of Quebec. through the Great
I.akcs_ east along the St. Lawrence,
River and over the northern stairs
east of the Mississippi.
The great northern or grass-pike
is caught across Canada practically
from Alaska to Labrador. as well as
in most states. It is also taken in
Europe and Asia.
The brook trout (salvcllnus {enti-
nalis) is distributed cast across Cnii-
ada from the Saskatchewan to the
Labrador coast and in Newfound-
land, also in the states from Maine
to north Georgia and westward to
the Pacific coast.
The rainbow trout is taken in Wa-
ters across the northern states. in
the mountain streams of the western
states. the coast‘ ranges and over the
Pacific states.
The lake trout. or gray trout. is
distributed from the waters of Maine
and New Brunswick west to Van-
couver Island. north to Alaska and
cast to Labrador. This fish is taken
in New England and across the
northern tier to Nevada.
The wall-eyed pike is distributed
across Canada, south to Georgia and
west to the Mississippi River.
The eastern pickerel. or chain
pickerel. is taken from Maine to
Florida and west to Arkansas.
Bluegill. Ontario and eastern Can-
ada. south to the Gulf. Crappie.
Vermont, south. west to Texas and
north to the Dakotas.
