"Jack Dempsey will new box six rounds with Joe Bonds.” clarioned the announcer. Dempsey crawled through the ropes. But instead of Joe Bonds.

The pro- gram. made up on one twelve, two tons and a four round preliminary. smacks of doing what would create quite a stir even on the big time circuit. The finalists for the evening are two fast bantams. Jimmie Bones. of Bridgeport. will pit his boxing skill and punching prowess against that of San Sanchez. the champion of Mexico. who has already met and done great work against such stars as Cowboy Eddie Anderson, George Dalduc, Willie Snugruc, llerman (Kid) Silvers. Joe Clifford. Mike Esposiio. Willie La Morte otty Mc. Keen. Bennie Hall and flock of others. Sanchez and Bones will pro- bably put up a twelve round go that will linger in the memory of the fans for some time. In the semi-final, billed fOr fen rounds. Pete Couvaris Greek feather- weight champion and sparring part- ner of Low Perfcttl, Long Island's willow-thc-wlsp. goes against Len Bay. the South Norwaik favorite. who has established himself with the fistlc mob by his great work against Newport Johnny Brown. Johnny Drew. Tony Mandcll and Johnny Vacca. Couvnris is a sensation club fighter. Who gives the fans a’ thrill every few seconds. The second ton on the battle. a fiywelght match will bring together Johnny Mayo. the dynamic Filipino. and Pinkie Silverberg, tho flyweight champion of Connecticut. When these two spiiflres hook up the fans will probably be forced to stand in their seats. so thrilling is the action that is promised. Mayo has achieved a lot of notoriety since coming to the States by reason of his great fights against Ruby Bradley, Bennie Marks. Joe Coiletti. Young Dencio. Henry Catena and Ernie Jarvis. A special bout. an added attract- ion of four rounds, which also holds much promise for the fans. will pre- sent Charlie Middleton of Norw.alk and Young Barney. the Stamford featherweight. Tris Only One of via? Three To Play Much NEW YORK. Sept—Of the three famous American League veterans, Cobb. Collins and Speaker. the last- named is the only one that has play. ed at all regularly this season. Cobb has been in but comparative- ly few games. especially since the middle of June, while Collins has done most of his directing from a seat in the dugout of late. Old Trisiam. however. has taken his place in cen- ter nearly every day. About the only time Speaker has been out of the lineup was early in tllc*chaso when he benched himself due to a hitting slump. Walter Johnson. the other veter- an of the 1905-06-07-08 quartet. has been used quite often in the box. But Walter, being a huricr, isn‘t taken into consideration in this re- sume. 4: Ni I We do not know much about British titles. but it strikes us that as Gertrude Ederle swgm the Eng- lish channel' King George might make her a lady of the bath—St. .
