Tie's one of the ring's real veterans and, though hes been batting for nearly eight years, he's going strong enough to be reckoned as one of the leading men or his division today, which is or leason why Joe Kern, matchmaker of the Star Athletic Club, has him matched to meet l.ouis Bogash. Bridgeport's "sphagettl mauler." in the big- bout of his program nexxt Tuesday night at the Church, street lark has fought the all.

If he's skipped any of the present-day top-notchers. it 1ms been through an oversighht on the part of his manager.

The heavers are "Moosejaw" Swaney and Earl Johnson, veterans of last year's flinging corps and Marcus DeXlte and Phil Smukler, two new boxmen.

Paddy is counting on having Bei-anger and Conway report with their injuries healed. Both have written to the club that they are in good condition and ready for the fray. With Belanger on first, Conway at second Demon at fehort and Hauk at third, the Hartford mentor is confident that his infelld will be as good as any in the league.

Clarke's record falls to disclose a knockout and it is said that not a single opponent has bee liable to bring the Allentown scrapper to a sudden bait during the course of a ring battle. J.ou!s Bogash 1s going to arrive In Hartford Monday In his new $4,000 automobile and he's going to wind up his training in the afternoon before the fight. Louis has sent up word that he Is In tip-top shape and that he will repeat the victory he scored recently over his Tuesday nlght'l opponent.

The mystery has been solved and Sam Rosenbloom, promoter of the Arena Athletic Club, is the Sherlock Holmes who did tho solving. Tho mystery was how a promoter could put a couple of mltt-swlngers into the same ring with a real fistic exchange resulting. Rosenbloo's stunt was to put the fighters he had on his Thursday nlght'a card into a sixteen foot ring and the leather-pushrs couldn't help but fight because they didn't Jiava room enough to do anything els. The result was that the fans saw some real scrapping. Perhaps If some of these lilgn-prlced atari that have been fooling tha public wera put In a twelve-footer they would put up a fight worth watching.

K. HORSFALL SPRING TOPCOATS for men Bridgeport Manager Sends an Ultimatum to His Cuban Star. Gena McCann, he of tha rainbow, liued outer garb, has we)l earned the aobrlquet of "The Genial One." The Bridgeport pilot Is soft-spoken and rarely does he get angry; that is, only on such rare occasions as when his men try to hunt on the last strike or steal second with the bag already occupied. But lately he has been getting rather peeved, although he keeps true to his "Pollyanna" attitude towards life and doesn't show his displeasure. Itodriffuea Is Object.

The object of said concealed peevishness is Jose Rodriguez, that flashy flrst-sacker from Havana-Gene has Issued an ultimatum and the address to which the ultimatum was delivered Is Calle Egido 87, Ha- bana, Cuba, the habitat of Jose. It was said in the cablegram which Gene sent; that if Jose didn't send in his contract within a week, ha will face suspension. ed in the Morse code which went over the Havana cable that if Senor Rodgriguez reports late he will have to put in as many days of training as the rest of the squad and he will not get a centavo for It. Forcing a Showdown That's just what McCann said to Rodriguez. The "Genial -One" 1' getting rather tired, it's said, of Jose's holdout role and is going to force a showdawn.

If Jose shows up, well and good, If not, McCann declines to tear his hal rand mutter "Caramba."

308 AHYI.CM T. Tel. 2--K53 1 "Handsome Hugh" Springs Pre-Season Surprise in Chisox Game. Jackaon, April 6. Hugh McQuillan, on of tha pitching reasons why the Glanta won tha world's chain-polnshlp from tha Yankees last season, was turned loose by Manager John McGraw against the White Sox In Ylcksburg yesterday and Hugh came through.

He had been kept pretty well under cover for several reasona but his showing against the clan of Gleason was decidedly favorable, as viewed by McGraw and his championship tewm. Aurora Illm 'Along, Aa a matter of fact, MoGraw has been grooming Hughle all spring, nursing: him along; and permlltins him to get Into shape slowly. Hugh himself showed no untoward signs or-wishing to get Into shape with any alertness, and there was a hint not far back that Hughle was not making every effort to put his old eouper Into fettle. McQuillan was hitched to tha champions last) July and did some good work during the closing acenea of the pennant campaign, bit; when he reported at training camp thla spring some considered him' a youngster, only a peg or two removed from the rookie class. His form always did appeal to McGraw, and so the little Napoleon sat by and watched Hugh work out) day after day In rain and wind, determined that when he showed the proper form he would be sent out to display It.

And yesterday Hugh came through. He held the White Sox hltless and to one run, the result of wo passes and an error, In five Innings. In, that period Hugh fanned no less than six White Sox, Including those among the pale hose who' later broka up the pastime. Phllllea Hark Home. Philadelphia, April t.

BASEBALL BRIEFS FOR DIAMOND FANS Eastern league umpires considered sure to be on the job when the season orens are "Bull" Brown, Bill Summers, Marty Conroy, Allla Kuhn and Mike Breslln. Kuhn and Conroy live In this city and were otl the staff last season. Albany and Plttsfleld players -oth will report on Tuesday. Managers I Rodgers of Albany and Wilson of Plttsfleld will make their bows at that time, as neither has visited the scene this winter.

These two ara tha only ones who have not been In the cities where they will live this summer since they were signed. John Henry, former Amherst and Washington catcher, has been given his outright lease by the San Antonio club, with which he was last connected. Henry recently was Instrumental In having court summonses served on nine of the New York Giants for failure to llva up to an alleged agreement to buy oil stock from him. Western league clubs will open their season on Thursday. This Is earlier than was expected and has caused cancellation of several exhibition dates.

The Pacific Coast league already Is underway. Worcester's squad Is hard at work. Stuvengen, first baseman. Is among the early arrivals. Worcester has 23 players under contract, all of them supposed to be good enough for reg' ular berth with the team.

Axel Llnd Strom by his early start has glad dened Manager Eddie Bayers. Tommy Madden, the catcher recent ly serured by Manager Donovan of the Hampdens, has been working this winter with the Boston telephone people. "Jiggs" Donohue of Water-bury was on the Job wlt.ru Madden. Donohue has Joine1 the Waterbury club. Gene McCann has landed for Bridgeport a catcher named Bcrnie Preo, who comes from the Brooklyn club.

McCann Is taking more advantage of the "draft war" between majors and minors than any other minor league manager in the business, unless It be Otto Miller at Atlanta. McCann realizes that when the majors don't send their recruits to the double leagues they must send them to the smartly styled and of extraordinary quality $25 $28.50 1 torious In the semi-final round of the singles cnampion, ana luciinruu, Voshell, also former champion, 9-7, 6-1, and) Hunter eliminated Anderson, 1921 champion, 6-4, 4-6, 6-1. Anderson's slump In the final set with Hunter continued Into the first set of lie doubles. He appeared nervous, and Voshell's steadiness could not stem the attack of their opponents. Come from Behind.

Richards and Hunter came from behind to win both the second end third sets Anderson's confidence returned In the second and he and Voshell captured the first tihree games in rapid succession. -The de fending titleholdcrs were close to victory when games stood at B-J In their favoc but Richards and Hunter staged a spectacular rally, volleying and smashing their way to'Vlctory in five straight games to take the set. The third set was also closely fought. Hunter find Richards rallying to win three straight games after trailing at 4-5. fernantlonal First Bet.

Voshell gave Richards a sensa tional fight in the first set of their singles match. He took the first tihree games and led at 6-3 and 6-5 before the youthful Davis cup star steadied and turned tha tables. The second set was a romp for Richards. Anderson battled on even terms' with Hunter in the first two sets, most of the games going to deuce, bu the young Columbia student weakened in the third set, losing his poise and proving easy prey for Hunter's booming cross-court drives.
