Toronto, Oct. 13.--George Fifield of this eity still wears the Canadian weltérweight crown, but there were times last evening in his ten-round bout for the title against Doug Lewis at the Areha Gardens in the. feature bout of the Shamrock Club's show 'that the ornamental head-piece was held in its place by only a few hairs, but at the end of the ten rounds, replete with many moments of tor- rid battling, he still deserved to be the champion, although Lewis was not far behind and had mot the title been at stake the decision might probably have gone to Lewis in the opinion of the spectators comprising the largest crowd at a local show for couple of seasons. The champion, who in his last local bout sealed about 154 pounds, showed that he had prepared for this bout with much! application, his weight being 144, while Lewis was not quite two pounds heavier. The challenger lost a great chance to end the affair summarily in the first round when he shot in a short left to the stomach that doubled Fi- field up, and the latter looked to the referee as if the blow had been 'fouled. Lewis stepped back momen- tarily and when he saw that the punch had landéd fairly he came in again, but Fifield was ready and weathered the storm. Fifield practically won the bout in the seeond and ninth rounds. In the second he was very aggressive, and Lewis, alwys a slow starter, was willing to let Fifield do most of the work. The champion landed n couple of solid rights and continual- ly beat Lewis to the punch, the lat. ter devoting most of his time to de- fensive work, and some of it was none too good. As a result Fifield took the round. by the greatest mar- gin of any of the ten. In the ninth canto Lewis started strongly, but seemed to tire, while Fifield came along to force the pace and landed fairly frequently, although with a few exceptions none of his punches carried much power, but hep icked up points. 7 Lewis Made It Close Lewis made one of his customary tenth round finished and almost came «down in front, but not quite. Beth were wild and there was' little scienee to. the fimal three minutes. Fifield would dash in and, no matter if he missed or landed, cling close until separated by the referee, who incidentally had a very busy time during the set-to, The challenger took the last round, but it was too late. ' Fifield's best rounds were the second and ninth; while Lewis made the best showing in the third, fifth and tenth, while the others were pretty even, the edge going by the angle and preference of the specta- tor. At times Lewis was the aggres- sor and at close quarters he had quite a margin. He was able to rip his short punches to the body with telling effect, but he made the mis. take of devoting too much attention to that part of Fifield's anatomy. A. more varied attack might have pro- duced more satisfactory results for the challengef. Lewis also had the better erice, he frequently picked off Fifield's punches with his gloves and many of the ehampion's punches in the fighting were taken care of by the arms and elbows. Both Lewis' eyes were damaged in the early part of the bout and Fi- field devoted considerable attention to both of them with more than passing: 'success. While Fifield sus- tained a cut over the right eye in the sixth, it did not interfere with him. Fifield's showing was a distinct and pleasant surprise to the great majority of the fans who had ex- pected the titleholder to have slip- ped a lot and anticipated an easy victory for Lewis. Both lads took lots of punishment, but a greater part of the bout was at close quar- ters and ' consequently clean-cuj punches were at a premium.

B, Flint, Mich., Oct. 13.--Refiting a story published Tuesday in Washing: tonto the effect that he had refused to take Mis place in the Pittsburg line-up because he had to play left field and bat second, Hazen "Kiki" Cuyler told' friends here upon his arrival home today that he had never refused to take an order from Manager Donie Bush. : "Bush asked me to change my style of leading off second base, while in camp in California," said Cuyler. "and. | did as he suggested. He wanted me to face the pitcher instead of having my back towards |third base, a position taught me by Max Carey, "When he told me he was going to shake up the line-up the third week of the season because we were not hitting, I told him thal I would bat or field any place he said if he felt I would thereby help the team. / Read to Do His Best "I never refused to take an order from Bush. I teld him that I had never been a successful second place hitter, but that I would do my best. I told him that I had been tried in that position several times before and that it seemed luek went against me. "The old jinx followed me from that moment, I hit, the ball as hard as ever, but it seemed that each drive Went. straight at some fielder or was turned into a double-play. It was an every-day happening, and the boys as well as Bush got so they laughed about by misfortune and dubbed me 'Double 0'. "Then came the second base steal- ing incident against the Giants, the $50 fine and benching, and I was out for the balance of the season. I didn't carry my-case to the newspapers as I- have been charged with (doing. Bush never told me why I was kept on the bench, and he could not have been sincere in stories whieh ecredit- ed him with saying that I was in an unfit physical condition and that he had four outfielders better thgn my- self.

"I went to see Bush and offered to apologize if I had made any mis. take or misunderstood his orders. He told me to forget it; that there was nothing personal in his feelings. "Yet 1 was never asked to play regularly after being benched, al- though the club sent to the minors for Comorskey when Barnhart fell off in his batting.

HOOLEY SMITH'S SUSPENSION WILL LIKELY BE CURTAILED Ottawa, Omt., Oct, 13--The one- month suspension imposed on "Hooley" Smith by the National Hockey League for rough tacties in the world's championship playoff last season will likely be reduced to one week, President Frank Ahearn of the Ottawa Hockey. Club stated yesterday. If action along this line is taken it would have the effect of : allowing Smith to turn out with the Montreal Maroons soon after the league schedule opens, the middle of next month, Otherwise the crack wing will be out of the game for the first month of the playing season. i . Speaking of Smith's case, Mr. Ahearn said: "I think it is only fair to tell. the public, now that '"Hooley". has been sold- to the Ma- roons, the status of the suspension, For some time previous to his at- tack upon Harry Oliver (Boston Bruin ward) our player had been sufferifg from injuries received im the first Canadian game of the plafoffs, and had been practically baked with the violet rays. When he made what was called his un- proyoked attack on Oliver he was crazed with pain and did not know what he was doing." President Cal- der rof the N,H.L. bad been recent- ly enlightened on this point, and Mr. Ahearn believed the suspension would be reduced to one week, The Semator club added the final touches to negotiations for the pur- chase of Harry Broadbent Tuesday night, when the former podgy wing of the Maroons signed an Ottawa contract, Broadbent was Ottawa property by the waiver route in the Smith deal with the Montreal club, and last night's formality concluded the transfer of players.

Owing to a number of recent deals, many changes will be noted among the N.H.L. teams this season, Jack Adams and Neg. Noble], two former Toronto players, have been brought together again, and wil wear the colors of the Detroit Club, Adams will manage the Detroiters, while Noble is counted on to be one of the regular defense players. "Hoo- Smith, another Toronto boy, who has been one of the prominent members of the Ottawa Club since he jumped to pro. ranks, will be found with Montreal Maroons. Toronto fams will note some changes when the local N.H.L. team lines up on the ice. While many of last year's favorites will be back again, and the team will be pretty mueh as it was during the closing games of last season's schedule, it is expected that the coming season's aggregation will bs. a much stronger one than the outfit that finished at the bottom of the race in 1926-27. The eall has been sent out to the Toronto players, and they will re- port here on Oct. 22. Their (first practices on the ice will be held at Ravina Rink. Ice is already avail. able there. The Arena Gardens due to some alternations in the seating capacity, will not have a sheet of ice until the latter part of this month. During the summer the Toronto club Las released unconditionally "Slim" Halderson, who came to the club in mid-season last winter from Detroit. Halderson is in Detroit and looking for a hockey engagement. "Bill" Brydge, the former Port Arthur amateur, has been traded to De- troit for Art Duncan, who managed the Detroit team during a major part of last season. It fs the inten- tion to use DDunean regularly on the local defense, and it is expected he will team up well with "Hap" Day and Beattie Ramsay, who are count. ed on as other members of the de- fensive department of the team. In addition to these, Art Smith local 0O.H.A. senior player, who was a member of the Toronto Canoe Club last winter, will be given every ehance to break into the N.H.L. The local management believe Smith is a fine prospect, and the player, him- self, is determined to live up to the good things expected of him. If he makes the gratle he will be given plenty of onportunity to hold down a regular defense position. , On the forward line the team will not be changed to any extent. Dan- ny Cox who came to the locals from + Port Arthur seniors a year ago and later was farmed out to Hamilton in the Can-pro. league has been re- called, and he and "Butch" Keeling will alternate at left wing. Bailey and Carson will look after centre ice, while Patterson and Bert McCaffery are expected to supply sufficient strength to make them the regular right wing combination. Roach will, as usual, be called upon to fill his regular position in goal. Of the youngsters signed up by the local club last season for pro. hickey trials, Gross and Voss will be farmed out to the Toronto team of the Canadian pro. hockey loop. Bert Corbeau, veteran defense player, will also be found with that team this season. Joe Primeau, star of Marlboros O.H.A. senier team last winter, will make his debut in pro. hockey with the Toronto minor league club. The Toronto club has re. called Pudas, last year with Windsor and Hamilton in the minor organi- zation. He will become the property of the Ravina Rink club also.

Throughout the long cold period, the Knights do untold good among the city's poor. They provide Christmas cheer to .uany and in addition hold a monster Christmas tree for the kiddies. Their work war- of citizen and Oshawa folks in géheral can assist in this great undertaking by patronizing the carnival next week. That outsiders, as well as local citi- zens, are evincing considerable inter- est is evident in that three large bus loads of Knights from Peterboro will be here Thursday night to do their share towards making the affair a complete and outStanding success. In addition to the crowd from Peterboro, the members of which are sure to make the evening an entertaining one, it is definitely known that Port Hope JKnights, who are affiliated with the lacal order, will be over to ,do. their share. : : .

H., Oct. 13.--A spectacular crash that set fire to the speedway and sent one of America's leading auto- mobile racers to a hospital seriously injured yesterday forced a hdlt in the 200-mile Columbus Day Sweep- stakes here and substitution of the incompleted race and a 75-mile dash as a means of determining prize- winners and championship point scorers. ure The accident occurred on the fifty- second lap of the scheduled 200-mile grind when Harry Hartz, attempi- ing to snatch the lead from youth- ful Frank Lockhart by a terrific dash directly in front of the grand stand. lost control of his car while travelling at 126.miles an hour clip. The machine skidded crazily down the boards to the dirt, overturning once and hurling Hartz a distance of 35 feet, Bursting into flames, the car bounced back on to the track and rolled over four more time, starting four fires along the infield rail. While the ambulance crew, pit me- chanics, and the track fire apparatus started for the injured. man and the fire chemicals on the flames threw dense clouds of black 'smoke across the track, blinding the rest of the flying field. Race officials hastily flagged the drivers off the boards to prevent another crash. . Hartz's condition, while said to be serious, was not regarded as critical. After a hasty conference with other offieials, Referee A. T. Hart decided to call the race a contest, al- lowing the drivers of "place" in when the starter's warning flag halted the race, and to stage another race of 75 miles, splitting the total cash prizes of $25,000 and AAA. championship points among the place winners of the two races. The decision gave LockRart first place; Hartz, second; Peter de Paolo, present point championship leader, third; Babe Stapp, fourth, and Cliff Woodbury, fifth.
