He introduced Lew Perfetti who will
clash of the evening.
Lindcburg also introduced Joe
Nagy. amateur bantamweight champ
of Connecticut. who came to Nor-
walk to fight. but no one was there
to fight him.
Pat Davey then went into the ring
to do the middle man w0rk in place
of Slontan. Battling Nelson. of
Norwalk. advertised as the Battling
Sheik. and Young Chipanclli went
into the ring. Both lads weighed
in at 13?. Chlpauelll started off fast
and if he kept it up he would have
tired but he beat Nelson so badly
in the first round that Put Davey
awarded the fight to Chipunclii.
Red Miller. of Norwalk, 137
pounds. and Johnny Itabltt. South
Norwaik. 134 pounds. furnished the
fireworks in the fifth bout of the
evening. Rabitt led off every time,
and in the very first few minutes
he sent Miller to the floor and the
referee counted one. Miller did not
lead at all in the first two rounds
but every time Rabitt came in with
both hands. Red poked him a few
in the chin with his long left. The
crowd did not see Red‘s left working
and when the decision was given to
Miller some of the fans kicked.
Rabitt deserved much credit for
being game thrdughout the light.
Although he got the werst of it
every time he went in he kept it up
and took Red's left on the chin.

ner and led off. but before the fans
were properly seated for the bout.
Cohen let a pretty little right so
lease and it found its way to Buck-
ley’s Jaw. Mr. Buckley went down
and out. It was the first clean K.
O. of the evening.
YoungAugust. of Stamford. was
given the fight by the referee over
Young Andy, of Fairfield. in the
seventh bout of the or ning. Both
lads tipped the scales t 127. Just
'as they were about to shake at the
opting of the bout August hit Andy
a rrific blow to the stomach and
Andy was hurt. A light tap to An-
dy's jaw sent him to the‘ floor for
two seconds and he was too weak to
continue the fight. The ‘rcferec
gave the fight to August. August
received the "grand razz" from the
crowd as he left the ring.
Dave Hart suffered his first K. 0.
of the season when he was put to
sleep by George Smith of Fairfieid.
Smith weighed in at 1“ while Hart
tipped the scale at 140 and one
half. A left to the Jaw at the start
of the fight sent Hart to the floor
for the count of nine and when he
came up another left to the jaw
greeted him and he went down for
the second nine seconds. The third
left to the jaw put Hart out. His

llm l‘bicagn club in a chorus yelled:
: “Guess that guy at Auburn told
l you plenty when you called him out
ion lbat rotten third strike."
} A wide grin played over Dinnccn‘s
far-0 as the salutatlon greeted his
fears. l'nnblo to get the facts from
Ehlm l appealed to Manager Eddie
'l‘nllins for the details.
“it was the ninth." explained Ed-
[dirx with the outplde loam loading
{ 2-1 as the inside boys came in for
j llwir last bats.
. “The prison team filled the bases
l with two out. The next batter was
‘l. big. husky negro. the Babe Ruth
of the prison team. With the count
illl‘t‘c ballsJand two strikes on him.
Rill Dinneen called the next one a
strike and the game was over. The
batsman thought it much too low
and expressed his feeling ihusly to
hinnron: ‘
"'A lot of us boys are in here
for pulling loss than that'."
Ball players. major or minor.
amateur or semi-pro. dislike to be
called out on the third strike.
Ono strike means nothing to most
playt‘rs. And while the situation
grows a trifle more serious with the
calling of strike two. the objec-
tions are very limited.
But calling the same style pitch
strike three will invariably get a
rise out of the batsman. Every
player wants to have his swing at
the. third one.
It is more or less an unwritten
law of baseball that with two
strikes on the batsman. he shouldn't
court danger by ‘letiing anything
that looks good go by. thus giving
the umpire a chance to call him out
on strikes.
Most batsmen adhere to prece-
dent,and naturally raise the claim
that if the bell was good they would
have certainly swung at it. The
pitcher is seldom given credit for
having outguessed them.
At such-times peppery conversa-
tion usually passes between batsman
and umpire. -
In this connection. I recall an in-
cident of a few weeks ago in Phil-
adelphia in which ladeider Jimmy
Dykes and Umpire Hildebrand play-
ed the leading roles. '
Early in the game. Dykcs after
having made a remarkable stop of
s. ‘batted ball shot a terribly wild
throw to first base. '
The following inning Hildebrand '
called a strike on Dyke‘s that Jim-
my recorded as too low.
“a rotten-emits!" ‘allouted Dyltes
as he stepped out of the box and
continued to grumble. ’ .
“It didn't compare with tha
throw of yours." replied Hildebrand
and I didn't tell the world what i
thought of it.‘v ,
.f noticed that Dykee immeasu-
ly resumed his piece in the. , s
bee. and issue no farther ‘-
l
meet.
HAL CHASE AN!) “CHIP OFF THE 0L1) BLOC K”
Hal Chase is back. But—wait a minute—we
don't mean the peerless Hill of years ago. the fellow
with the nifty ioatwork a'nd lengthy reach that used
to have maior league\fnne sitting pop~eyed with
his sensational antics around first base. Ah. no.
it's another Hal Chase this time—a son of the
famous star of other days. ‘
“Chess. Jr.. signed with the Mission club of the
,Pacfld-M League a few days ag‘ He's only to
'and; , ; ,as two more years in school, but critics
1»: lie ‘g‘sll‘sa‘tle‘yooogiter in action state he's a
t
”chip oi! the old block." Some rvrn go so far a.
to say he'll outdo his illustrious dall. Young Chou
will practice with the Missions on Saturdays and
Sundays and during vacation periods.
William H. McCarthy. Mission boss, says Chase.
Jr.. will play regularly with the club after leaving
school. He added that “Chast- seems to have the
same lnatural ability of his father and with ex-
perience should develop into a alunblr pastimer."
Such being the case. major to gun patrons a few
years hence may again hear lb name of Hal Chase
resounding as in the oid'day
