NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, APRIL 2, 1923, Charter Oak at New Britaln, May 24, Speaking of Sports o - A golfer has his afternoon tee be- fore he goes for a drive, Rumors are traveling around Goth- am with gale force to the that Jimmy Wilde is through as a flyweight, that he won't fight any mere, and certainly couldn’'t make the flyweight fit, As for leaviiyg dear old England, where the worid's champion lives—-that, say the rumors, is out of the nuestion Just how Jimmy will reply, to all these gossips remains a matter of speculation, Jack Sharkey, American bantam, gave impetus to the rumors wher he returned from England and was quoted as saying that Wilde told his cat, and the cat told the dog next door, and th: uog told a canary bird, and the canary bird told Sharkey that Jimmy's family doesn’'t want him to fight any more, It's up to Jiramy now. Unless he can hurry up and defend his title, his right to it certainly will be dis- credited in American sporting circlgs. With vacation over, the High school diamond aspirants now should begin to limber up in preparation for a banner season. The .Shuttle Meadow and . Sequin members are casting longing eyes to- ward the old greensward. i And those who do not belong but e golfiti up their clubs and wondering how {long before Goodwin Park will be | ready, Which brings us again to the nced of a municipal golf course here. Some of those many thousands e i pended in making the South End park esemble a ¢ s between No Man's Land and the id flats of New Haven harbor at low tide might have been used in laying out a course that would have served its purpose. It's not too late now. Golf is con- tagious and many more will be infect- ed this spring and summer. A city course would prove every jbit as popular as the tennis courts {and diamonds at Walnut Hill park. FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY ed on the preferred delivery list.

CASTOFF NOW LOOKS GOOD | Roy Moore, Turned Adrift by Connie | Mack, May Become Star With Ty Cobb's Tigers, Augusta, Ga,, April 1.—Roy Moore, Tiger southpaw, has more stuff than | any otier left hander in the American | league. | Moore was secured by Detroit last | year from Connie Mack over the "waiver route. For three years Mack carried Moore, hoping thet some day he would arrive. | Despite his great amount of stuff, a | wonderful fast ball and a sharp- | breaking curve. Moore has never been able to make any progress because of lack of control. | No batsman in the American league |is a better judge of pitching than | Cobb. The Tiger leader admits that { Moore's stuff always impressed him, that frankly he never eared much about hitting against the former Philadelphian. Naturally when Mack asked for offer TEL. 1513 Illinois A, C.! Kid Kaplan and Tommy Noble ura!nlmrn Moore Is golng to win a lot of waivers on Moore there was no vhance of getting him out of the league, Cobb | claimed Moore for the waiver price, This year Cobb has as one of his assistanis Fred Cariseh, vetoeran hig league eatcher, Alwnys a wise old head, Cobh turned over Moore to Carlsch, The moment Carisch saw Moore in action he changed his piteling ntyle. Moore now looks like a differ- ent piteher, In stead of a jerky delive ery with a short stride, Moors is now using a long sweeping motion and a big stride, In practice the change in style has worked wonders with Moore's eentrol, If it stays with him in tha regular ball games for Detroit, SUB FOR PECKINPAUGH Washington Now Has “Chick” Gag- non, Late of Holy Cross, as Invalua- ble Infield Substitute. Tampa, Fla, April 1.——~Roger Peck- inpaugh, veteran shortstop of the Na- tionals, is to have an understudy this year, able to step right in and fill the | bill in case anything should happen to the Yankee former star. “Chick" Gagnon, late of Holy Cross, will play the role, Gagnon's spring training work is conclusive evidence that it will be done well. | Last year Peck was troubled with a | bad back, from which he scems to have entirely recovered. When lame- | ness forced him out of the lineup the defensive strength of the infield was shot, | While some of the Laseball fans| don’t know it, Gagnon reached dizzy heights as a gridiron star, a regular | Ty Cobb in a football sense. | Holy Cross likes nothing better than | to beat Harvard., Twice during his college career, Gagnon all but turned the trick on the gridiron single hand- ed. This was particularly true of the 3 to 0 win of Harvard a few years back. Gagnon's foothall career, however, has reacted slightly in baseball. An in- jured knee, which the doctors insist is entirely well, still worries Gagnon. He suffers no pain, but still favors it, thereby affecting his stride. Tt is be- lieved the moment he is convinced the leg will stand up it will no longer | ports today bother his play. CONCENTRATING WHISKEY the advent of spring. Booze Supply is Being Placed in Well Guarded and Centeally Located Storchouses, Washington, April 2, - Coneentra- tion of whiskey in worehouses where it can he guarded and its legitimate withdrawal more ecasily supervised by federal prohibition forces is being ac- complished rapidly, according to re- to federal Prohibition Commissioner Haynes, Enforcement headquarters announc- ed today that it was expected by July 1 half of the 200 private warehouses will be emptied of their stocks, Neports to Commissioner Haynes show that under the amendment to the prohibition law authorizing the government to concentrate bonded whiskey in concentration warehouses 402,000 barrels or about 12,000,000 gallons already have been transferred to such warehouses out of a total of 800,000 barrels, Distilli ware- houses, Commissioner Haynes said, wore being discontinued rapidly. A feature of the transfer from small distilleries and *houses to the large concentration centers ac- cording to Mr, Haynes is that not a gallon has been “lost” or stolen in the process, GIRL DANCES 27 HOURS, WILTING SIX PARTNERS She Comes From Texas, Is a Vegetar- inn And Now Hoplds World Title New York, April 2. — Alma Cum- mings started dancing at 6:57 o'clock on last Saturday evening in the Audo- bon hallroom at 166th street and Broadway. At 0:57 last night she stopped, and a new world's record of 27 hours was hers. The previous non- stop record was made by Victor Hind- march in Eshington, Northumberiand, England, last month, with 25 hours to his credit. Miss Cummin Stappenback, ag San Antonio, the one step, the w who waited one after another, , whose real name is and native heath , used the foxtrot, altz and six youths and JM‘- - YIE staggered toa bench while another took his place in the clasp of the tire- lens young woman, Two phonographs furnished the music after the regular band quit for the night, The proprie- tor, George D, Grundy, kept a long vigil with a few patrons who were de- termined to see it through and who were still there when Miss Cummings spun out the middie of in a whirlwind waltz at the end, while the band, which meantime had slept, caten, been to church and returned, blared “The Star Spangled Banner." The champion attributed her suce cess in part to Texas and in part to nine years of vegotarian diet. Through the whirling hours she regaled herself with fruit, nuts and near beer, George Madaro, 20, started out for the record with her, He danced seven hours, | vested nine, and took his turn again |at the finish. George is neither a Tex an nor a vegetarian, Wan, but far from out, Miss Cum=- | mings said that after it was all over {that she would challenge the werld, | Among other statistical data she fur- nished, champion-wise, when the re- | porters came, was that she was reared |in a Roman Catholic convent, but |went over to the Seventh Day Adven- |tists, and still adheres to that sect.
