Who Won
P: Tommy Loughran, slick-haired Philadelphia heavyweight; after spraining his ankle in the fifth round: his ten-round bout against hard-skulled, gold-toothed Paulino Uzcudun; in Manhattan.
P: The New York Rangers: their opening game of the professional hockey season, against the world champion Montreal Canadiens, 4 to 1; at Montreal. Philadelphia and Ottawa have no teams in the National Hockey League this year. Nonetheless, Hockey League directors last month decided to retain a system whereby this season all but the two poorest teams in the league qualify for the Stanley Cup play-off next March. A new rule this year: A penalty face-off will be ordered if any player other than the goalie falls on the puck within ten feet of his own goal.
P: Bill Nertney, 18-year-old apprentice jockey: two races (on A. W. Abott's Gay Bird, A. C. Schwartz's Flag Trick) and four second places in one day; at the autumn meeting at Pimlico, Md. A brilliant new "find" of Trainer J. H. ("Bud") Stotler, Jockey Nertney has ridden 60 winners since June. On the last day of the Pimlico meeting he fell, sustained a concussion of the brain.
