Doubtless Church street will be Jammed as it has never been jam- med before, unless it has been on a national election night, Frank Barnikow, director of sports at Meriden High school, has hit upon an excellent ldea, that of promoting inter-class sports. Foot- ball is first on the season's program. All-New Haven plays the Meriden Guard team in Meriden Sunday. Tnefdentally, Meriden has a sweet team, made more so by the presence of Rogers at center, Just as good as Rogers Is at cen- ter, the All-New Britain, team f{s correspondingly weak In that same position. » Until a good center {s secured the team cannot play champlonship ball. By now the Yankees, should be ready and eager to denounce Walter Johnson and his viclous crew by name, Bill Tilden has 18 titles, or al- most as many as a Boston club woman. 2 The famous fistic, team of Britton and Lewis has disbanded, but we note Hoppe and Greenleaf are =till playing the billiard elrcuits. The experts say Wills worked un- der wraps the night he fought Firpo —Come to think of it, it was cold enough. Ruth picked an all-star team and left himself off. You can judge for yourself whether this comes under head of modesty or advertising. Promoters of natfonal defense day got quick action. 'Mr. Dempsey has started training again, Jack Johnson has turned preach- er but fortunately it is not compul- sory to listen to him. " Another unusual thing about last week was that the full seven days were clicked off without Benny Leonard hurting his thumb. At the close of the season the Athletics were playing the best ball in the league. What they need most is an all-year schedule. Mr. Altrock is working up some new jokes. But nothing could be; funnier than the joke his team has pulled on the rest of the league. i Bud Fisher of Hartford and Eddle i Anderson of this city clash in Hart- ford tonight in the first singles duck | pin match of the season.

THREE HURT W AUTOS OVERTURN Two Cars Tip Over in Danielson Smashps Danielsqn, Conn., Oct. 1.—Miss Margaret Battella of Rye, N. Y., was injured three miles east.of here on the Providence road late yester- day aftefnoon when the automobile driven by her father, Seavey Bat- tella, turned turtle after coming down a steep hill. She was taken to the Day Kimball hospital in Put- nam, where it was found that she was suffering from a deep cut on the head, an injured arm and a number of abrasions. Mrs. Battel- fa, her mother, was cut in the hand and also reckived treatment at the hospital. Mr. Battella and two other daughters, Betty and Mar- garet, escaped with nothing more than a shaking up. A rear wheel of the automobhile collapsed after the car had skidded, overturning the car. In another accideht four miles east 6f here on the Providence road Maxwell Connelly of Boston re- celved cuts on the head when the automobile he was driving turned over. Mr. and Mrs. Morris B. Rear- don’of 21 White street, Dorchester, Mass., alsg in the car, escaped With minor injfirles. The car landed with the four wheels in the air and was wrecked. Both accidents were dus to the steep grade and slippery pavement, dua to the rain, and the fact that thé drivers were not familiar with the highway. McTigue Is Ordered to Meet Tunney for Crown New York, Oct. 1.—Mike Mec- Tigue, world’s light heavyweight champion, must meet Gene Tunney in his first title match in this state if he applies for a license, the state athletic commission declared yester- day after Tunney had appeared with his manager, Billy Gibson, and post- ed the necessary forfeit fees to bind such a match. The proposed Berlenbach-Me- Tigue: match, tentatively scheduled for Madison Bquare Garden some time in November, will have to awalt a McTigue-Tunney match, in the event McTigue applies for a license here. McTigue is not a licensed boxer in New York now and has not heen since he won the world’s light heavyweight title from Battling Siki. i Joe Jackson of Philadelphia was disqualified for 30 days for fouling Frank Laurette at Troy, N. Y. POPPIES ARE COMBATTED Kuling, Kiangsl, China, Oct, 1.— Successtul efforts by American mis- sionaries in Fukien province to hay® Chinese farmers exempted from compulsory planting of pop- py, have resulted in the missions being besleged by farmers desirous of becoming Christians. The local government has been forcing the farmers to buy and plant poppy seeds. Some of the Christian farm- ers objected and applied to the missiohs for advice. It was sug- gested ‘that they buy the seceds, which were being sold at very low prices, and in the meantime the missionaries would appeal to the authorities for exemption from ralsing the ecrop.

HADFIELD’S SPORTING GOODS "Phne 1706 15 MAIN Open Evenings NEW BRITAIN, CONN. OF THE GRIDIRON Injry to Game Litle End Spurs Team on to Another Touchdown BY J. J. RYAN (Foothall Coach, University of Wis- consin) Blagl only weighed 141 pounds, but his father was Itallan and his mother Irish. And if you don't think that combination spells game- ness, you hsould have seen the play 1 am about ko describe. It certainly stands out as one of the most re- markable I have ever seen in foot- ball. I was coaching Marquette at the time and we were playing the heavy Detroit univérsity tea min Detrolt. ‘That was in 1020. Blagl was pittea against’ “Tillie" Voss, glant Detroit right tackle, who at the season’s end was placed on numerous mythical All-Western and All-America teams. Blagi wasn't taking Voss out of many plays, but he was sticking to im like a little fox terrier, At the beginning of the fourth quarter Biagi hollered for help and, as we had no trainer along, I was ajlowed to.go onto the fleld. Bilagl was squeezing two fingers together and T found that the nfil had been kicked oft one. The pain must have been intense, but the little fellow nnever flinched, He merely asked me to bind the two fingers together. A few minutes later he grabbed a forward pass on the 20-yard line, ducked and dodged three tacklers and dpve over the head of the quar- terback, who wasg standing on the goal line. Beyond the goal line was an embankment. Dowh this Blagl rolled and grashed into a concrete post, but he held the ball. That play finished Biagl physical- ly, for the collision witn the con- crete post had paralyzed one arm. But his spirit was still in the game. The injury to the little fellow upset Detroit, and spurred his teammates. A few minutes later they completed another pass for a touchdown. The score really ought to have been credited to Biagi. What a difference a dash of sea- soning makes in flat-tasting food! And what a difference a bit of in- dividual gamenegs makes in a foot- ball team! . (Copyright, 1024, NEA Bervice, Inc.)

His job, one of the queerest in King George's kingdom, fvas created for him after he had suffered from infantile paralysis, and needed an easy task.
