HERALD BOWLING TEAM ROUTS TELEPHONE CO. QUINTET ON ROGERS’ ALLEYS—RUTH REPENTS AND GIVES UP BARNSTORMING TOUR—KANSAS GETS DECISION OVER TENDLER—NUTMEGS EXPECT HARD BATTLE AGAINST WASHINGTON GLEES-YD. ELEVEN TOMORROW AT ——————— NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1921. VIBBERTS FIELD HERALD BOWLERS | WALLOP LEADERS Teephone Co. Quntet Beaten| Three Straight at Rogers’ Alleys New Britain Herald 3, Company 0. The above tells the story but briefly of the great triumph on the alleys last night, of the coming champions of the Utilities league, over Ted Mc- Auliffe’s quintet. Traveling along at a rapid clip since the opening of the league, the Telephone team has mowed | down opponent after another, until it reached the point that the team was being considered too strong for the league. This was before Captain Bill fdwards and his boys stacked up ‘mgainst the Court street crowd. The He-=’d team has been plugging along keeping in a tie for second place with the Opticians, and incidentally giving & good account of itself in its games. The pinnacle of form was reached last night, when the league leaders were encountered. There was plenty of confidence dis- played by beth teams, but as the game progressed the Telephone boys realiz- ing they had met their masters, seemed to go to pleces. In a repartee battle between both teams, the Herald ,boys were also returned victorious. Teddy McAuliffe, who usually beams ‘with smiles, lost that countenance last night. Teddy did some good bowling and also some poor bowling during the match. He was high scorer for his team, but his mates were unable to cope against much superior odds. None of the victorious team reached the three century mark in total score, but it was with a steadiness that the Herald men toppled the maples. Cap- tain Edwards'and Venberg were the high total scorers for the Herald. “Pinky” Venberg, the boy phenom, had the high single, 112 registered in the opening game. Georgie Zisk, was at his best last night and Joe Murphy and O’Brien seemed to improve like wine, as the game progressed. - The scores: N. B.

Barnes was ac- companied by his wife and baby and his father, all of whom saw the world’s series games. “The credit of my being a win- ning pitcher goes to my father,” Barnes said. “It was from him that I received my first in- struction.” * % NUTMEGS EXPECT HARD GAME WITH YD ELEVEN New Haven Aggregation Has Been Greatly Strengthened by Combin- ing With Washington Glees Word has reached this city of the merger of the Washington Glees and the Y.

The verdict of the judges, Johnny Rankin and Billy Smith, was greeted with a demon- stration of approval by the crowd, yet there were some dissenting voices. Thove wers those in the gathering who held the opinion that Tendler was_ entitled to the verdict. The Philadelphian with his puzzling left-hand style, made a difficult tar- get for the willing up-state Italian. There were times when Tendler but- feted his rival about with a wither- ing rapid-fire attack to which a less stout-heartzd fighter would have suc- cumbed. Tendler had the advantage at long range. The Quaker City boxer was faster .on his feet and quicker with his hands than Kansas. However, Kansas made up for this disparity through his work in close quarters. He blocked many of his rival's leads, and showed utter dis- regard for the punches which Tend- ler landed. The Buffalo lightweight walked in steadily and beat a wicked tattoo on Tendler's mid-section. It was with this assault that he won the decision of the judges. The up-state- fighter outboxed Tendler, weakened his man as the battle progressed, and, devoting his attention to the stomach at close quarters, made Tendler ex- tremely cautious.® Tendler was at his best early in the battle. His speed, cleverness and unusual style proved a difficult mat- ter for Kansas’ solution. With his extended right shand, he jabbed and hooked to such advantage that he be- set Kansas’ attack. Kansas, at a disadvantage because of his short reach, had to depend on his efforts at close quarters. Garden Is Jammed. The biggest crowd of the season turned out to witness the bouts. Every seat in the house was occupied and spectators stood about in the aisles, at the corners of the building and wherever ‘the fire department detail would permit. It was estimated: that 12,000 people jammed into the Gar- den to witness the near-champ strug- gle. An hour before the Tendler-Kansas bout the Garden gates were ordered closed by the detail of firemen. At the time there were thousands swarm- ing- about Madison avenue ' entrance to the Garden, giving policemen all they could do to handle the situa- tion. Crowds also congregated about the corners of Twenty-seventh street on the north side of the Garden, trampling each other in, their eager- ness to buy coveted pasteboards. In the first battle of eight rounds Joe Tiplitz of Philadelphia and John- ny Darcy, local lightweight. furnished an_interesting contest. Tiplitz gained the decision at the finish. Bobby Michaels, East Side welterweight gained the decision over Earl Bader of Seattle in the second eight round bout. Carl Tremaine, Cleveland ban- tamweight, stopped Marty Collins, a local midget, in eight rounds. Ref- eree McPartland stopped the battle in the closing round because Collins was outclassed. The referee's action was not popular, and the crowd open- ly voiced its disapproval. Collins was battered about the ring by his rival throughout the bout. He was so far outclassed that only a knockout by the local lad could have changed the result. The opinion of the majority apparently was that Col- lins should have been permitted to continue to the final bell. MINNESOTA APOLOGIZES. Used Digits ot Four Members Against Northwestern. Chicago, Oct. 22—A letter apolo- gizing to the members of the big ten conference for the action of its coach, Dr. H. L. Williams, in placing num- bers of four digits on the backs of University of Minnesota football play- ers was received yesterday by North- western university, which played the Gophers two weeks ago. ' The letter, signed by James Paige. chairman of the students’ senate committee on in- tercollegiate athletics, said copies were sent to all members of the con- ference. “The University of Min- nesota sincerely regrets the incident and apologizes to the conference for the action by her coach,” the letter concluded. The numbering of the players with four numerals, mostly 3's, 5's and §'s, was said to have been dons with an intention to confuse observers and scouts for other teams in their at- tempts to follow various players in the involved Minnesota shifts and at the same time comply with the con- Coach numberec. The excess numerals were discarded in last week’s game. WATCH FOR TIIE — SFOX»— SMOKE J. V. 0. PERFECTO TEN, CENTS QUALITY SMOKE SHOP WEST MAIN STREET Judges Agree on Bullalo Italian PENN.

World’s Champion Continues to Play Marvelous Billiards Against Peterson. New York, Oct. 22.—As a further indication that he is again at the very top of his form, Willie Hoppe, the champion, yesterday made a run of 590 points before missing in the course of his exhibition games with Charles Peterson at the Ambassador Academy. It will not go down as a continuous run, ‘however, since the total was made in the course of two exhibitions. It began with a run of 366 with which Hoppe closed the aft- ernoon session and was concluded with a run of 284 with which cham- pion opened in the evening session. The score of the afternoon game was 400 for Hoppe to 43 for Peter- son, and in the evening Hoppe made 400 to 54 for his opponent. This is the second time during this exhibition match that Hoppe has run out a string of 400 points in three turns at the table for an average of 133 1-3. In making the long run, broken only by the intermission for dinnsr, Hoppe used a large variety of shots but for the most part stuck close to his yle of close billiards. The champion is seldom spectacu- lar and h2 clicked off shots with a regularity that was almost monoton- ous, except that it showed he was again playing in his best form. The exhibition with Peterson will be con- cluded today. MURPHY IMPROVING. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 22.—Tommy urphy, one of the leading race driv- ers of the Grand Circuit, was resting easily tod.y after one of the worst spills in his driving career which hap- pened he:> Thursday when Peter Hanley stumbled in the third heat of the 2:07 pace at the Lake wood track and both horse and driver were thrown for sémersaults. Murphy’s shoulder was badly wrenched, but it was stated that an X-ray examination indicated no bones had been broken. e GEERS HAS A BIG DAY ‘WINNING THREE EVENTS Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 22.—*“Pop” Geers, veteran driver of the grand circuit, had things his own way in the races here yes- terday. He was entered in three events, and he took two of them and won second place in the other. Geers piloted Lillian Silkwood to victory in the $2,500 2:11 pace in a desperate struggle with Walter Cox, driving Peter Kennedy, in which Geers won two heats and Cox one. The 2:11 trot for $1,000 went to Geers, drivings Dunette, and again it was Cox who furnished the opposition, this time hold- ing the reins behind Lord Fris- co. The 2:08 trot for $500 was won by Dottie Day, piloted by McDonald, with Geers second, driving Utah. o ENGLISH STAR WINS BELLECLAIRE FINAL Mrs. Thomas Hucknall Is Soundly Conquered By Miss Cecil Leitch 11 and 10. New York, Oct. 22.—England’s woman golf wonder, Miss Cecil Leitch, has won her first tournament in the United States the Belleclaire invita- tion—and in advancing through the rounds against some of America's best players she set two records. Playing against Mrs. Thomas Huck- nall, New York, in the final round of the tourney yesterday, Miss Leitch hit one ball off the sixth tee and it carried and rolled about 300 yards— the longest drive ever \made by a woman on American soil. She won by 11 up and 10 to play. Earlier in the tournament she set a woman's Belleclaire course record of 76 and the gallery gasped in amazement. Moreover she evened things up with one of America’s most promising young women players, Miss Glenna Collett of Providence, R. I., by defeat- ing her 2 and 1. Miss Collett had won from the English champion last week it Philadelphia. e e e i Splendid Showing of New Britain High School Team, is Bringing Back Interest of Past Years. \A large crowd is in attendance at the New Britain-Bristol High school foot- bhall game at St. Mary's fleld this afternoon.

Landis for his part in the “barnstorming” tour that was begun in defiance of the base- ball commissioner'a orders. This was the news brought back last night by Colonel T. L. Huston from Scranton, Pa.; where, Ruth played his last ex- hibition gama yesterday afternoon and then disbanded his team. Colonel Huston who is part owner of the New York Yankees, mado the announce- ment from his suite in the Hotel Mar- tinique shortly after his return from Scranton. This is_the latest development in a baseball episode that th!’ealened for a time to result in another baseball war and bring the commissianer of the sport into conflict with the gamfi; greatest player. Judge Landis has notyvet announced his decision in the cgse of Ruth. Raseball mien in the city’ had predicted that the slugger would be suspended for several weeks or months, and possibly for the whole o! next season. But the sentiment last night, after Ruth’s capitulation had been learned, was that the deflant player would escape with a heavy fine and probably an emphatic reprimand from Judgs Landis. Ruth’s apology, according to Hus- ton, will be delivered personally with-- in the next few davs. The baseball star told the Colonel yesterday that he was willing to go to Chicago as soon as gossible and Jay his case before the baseball commission. At the same t{me that Ruth de- cided to cnd his exhibition activities. Boh Meusel. outfielder and batter of renown; Bill Piercy. recruit pitcher, and Tom Sheehan, a young twirler, all members of the Yankees, called off their part in the tour. T}ley will 1ike<~\ 1y follow Ruth’s lead in going to Judge Landii personzally and making an ap- peal for judicial clemency. It ia mot believed that their punisnment will be ags heavy as that of Huth who was the leading spirit in tha formation and direction of the team that met with the baseball commission’s displeasure. Says He Was Badly Advised. According to Colone! Huston, who waa frankly jubilant over the results of hi1 trip to Scranton, Ruth admitted in his talk with the Yankee magnata that he had been badly advised when ho organized the “barnstorming’ tour. Colonel Huston had a talk with the slugger before yesterday’s game in Scranton, and Wus also closeter ‘with the Babe in a heart-to-heart talk after the contest had been played. The colonel, it i1 understood. pointed out {tc Ruth the consequepces of hia ac- tiona and told him that the New York American league club, by losing Ruth’s services during part of ;ext season, would be the real sufferer in the con- ‘troversy. After this argument, Ruth decided to acquiesce to the appeal ot Colonel Huston an@ Colonel Jacob Ruppert, the owners oi the Yankees. Ruth told Huston that he had been offered » $100.000 contract to play “outlaw” baseball next vear in case Judge Landis should suspend him from organized baseball. What cluh or promoter had made this offer could no: ba learned. - Colunel Ruppert told a New York (Continued on Following Page.)
