The first "big shot"—-ns the boys

by which a favorable comparison
with the outstanding stars of the
ring could be made. All his victims
had been small-fry.
Gibson was quick to sense the
necessity of building s ballyhoo
about the muscular shoulders of his
soldier fighter. Gibson's long as-
socintlon with the gullible tight pub-
lic had taught him that this was
even more essential than ability.

"After ell. getting the Frog after

"I went in too bitch." was the
Champion's explanation of his de-

"i rained blows on him," was
Corbett's summing up of the fight.
It was a sad day for Sheriff John

If. in the opinion of the umpire

wise would have crossed the plots
for a strike. he ignores the situation
other than calling it strike on the
, batsman. ‘
In other words. in such a situation

Middleton Star With
Record.
The Resolute baseball team of East
Norwaik had I very successful week-
end. winning two games. The first
game was played st' the Staples
Field with the Ali-Stars of the iocsi
amateur league as the opposing nine.
The All Stsu were defeated by the
score of 9-8 in an extra. inning tus-
sle. The score was tied st the eighth
and neither team could score until
the home team drove in the winning
run in the first of the tenth.
Bob Carpenter hurled for the lies-
olutes and deserves much credit for
his fine work. Bredice tossed ’em
over fer the Burnsoutfit and also
did well. Churlio Middleton. tho pug-
illsilc first baseman. played a fine
game with the East Norwnlk boys
and poled out three pretty hits. one
of which was a two bugger. A home
run by Kenny Thomas of the Reso-
lutes featured the Saturday game.
The itesoiutes traveled to Green-
wich Sunday afternoon where they
conquered the fast Bruce Pork nine.
The latter club defeated the locals
in a previous encounter. and the Res-
olutes were anxious to show the
Millionaires their true baseball abil-
ity. The score of the gums was 9-7.
Frank Bedeil hurled a fine game
for the Resolutes and struck out 12
men. He walked two and allowed
seven hits in as many innings. Danny
Perlmnn proved to be the star of
the game with four hits chalked up
in his favor out of four chances at
but. liurry Preston helped the Reso~
‘lute score Jump one run when he
poled out a. two bagger‘with one on
and Chariott. the new Resolute rind.
sent the ball rolling out into the
outfield while he run around three
bases. J. Sedell starred with the bat
for the Parr. nine with three hits,
all of which helped the Greenwich
nine score their seven runs.
The losers threatened to win in the
ninth inning. and were not stopped by
the victors until they had scored
three runs. '
