Speaking of Sports Kopec was back with the Falcons again yesterday after withdrawing from the game last Sunday on ac- count of an injury to his throwing arm. Tt was at first reported that he would be out of the game for a month or so, but yesterday's per- formance seems to dispsl any fear of Kopec being laid up at all from liis throwing wing. Adam Sullick, who left the Kens- | ington team a week or S0 ago, was 1 in a Corbin Red Sox uniform yesterday. {luband. Whether he will stay Wwith the Red Sox or not will be a ques- tion to be determined at a later date. “Rabbit” Bucherl was tried out by Ihe Sox in yesterday's game and al- though he didn't have the oppor- tunity of doing any great amount of work, he probably will fit into the picture in great shape before the season is very much older, Frankie Sheehan prophesied Sat- urday that he would get uyo hits. He got only one in yesterday's game but drove in & run. As Frankie, who also has the reputation of being a tuture John McCormack, says, “The | newspapers have to take notice of_ good ball players and I'M one of them.” Eddie Zeigler showed a flash of .peed on the basepaths yesterday that certainly s a good imitation of the way Ty Cobb has done it in his best years. He stole second base three times in yesterday's game against the Hartford Crimsons. Hayes certainly fit into the hile catching for .

The sustained dribble has been done away with according to the changes effected this year and this will limit the players to only one dribble. The Connecticut league is, according to the larger proportion of the franchise holders, opposcd to she new rule and it may be that the league will vote not to recognize the new rule. Another rule which the league noguls have had under discussion with the view of setting it aside is the one whercin a plaver is ejocted from the game because of four per- sonal fouls, The league will prob- ably adopt a rule whereby personal fouls will not be counted in this re- spect. Then comes the question of capa- )le officials for the league because (‘entral Board men will most prob- be required to officiate accord- to the rules adopted by the na- lional committee. If the lcague teams refuse to adopt the new rule \nd then throw out the four per-| sonal foul rule, officlals may be :arce because all the leading men re members of the Central Con- necticut Board of Approved Basket- ball Officials. The postponed game between the Stanley Rule and Level and Russell Erwin teams in the Industrial| gue, will be played tomorrow night at 5:15 o'clock at Willow Brook park. The game was called oft last Thursday out of respect to B. A. Hawley, vice-president of the american Hardware Corp., who died last week. Two regularly scheduled games will be played tomorrow night at 5:30 o'clock at Walnut Hill park in the league. One on diamond No. 1 will be between Fafnirs and Union Works while the other on dlamond No. 2 will be between Landers and the Stanley Works. P The league hopped off to a good start last Thursday night with three games played. Tomorrow night's games will bring together two losers against each other and two winners. Fafnirs and the Union Works lost their first starts while Landers and Stanley Works won their initial nes. The league* will again be caught up on the schedule after the games nave been played tomorrow night hecause all other postponed games besides the Rule-Russwin clash, were played off last Thursday night. | CE!l BIRTHDAY.

Jos Dundee, WALONEY FAVORITE OVER HIS RIVAL to Disadvantage New York, May 16.—#—Jack Sharkey's eye injury suffered in training, made Jimmy Maloney, his rival contender for the heavyweight boxing crown, a 7 to 4 favorite to- day for their bout Thursday night at the Yankee stadium. ‘While Sharkey was forced to re- frain from sparring because of the wound above the left eye which Ma- | loney originally inflicted in one of their previous mcetings and Sharkey reopened in a match with a spae- ring partner, Saturday, Maloney | went through his daily 12 rounds of back to the floor which resulted in|of bridge at their home Saturday boxing in a final drive to get his n to the fighting point, 200 pounds Sharkey, now weighing 193, ex- pected to dry out to 188 by the time | he weighs in Thursday afternoon at the office of the state athletic com- mission. | While Sharkey's mishap was re- | flected in the betting odds, it was | made light of by the boxer himself [ who lost none of his confidence that | he is Maloney's master. In three ‘prc\'!o\u bouts the ex-sailor came oft victorious, he pointed out, add- ing that he, intends to make it three imes and out. The winner is due for a shot at the survivor of , a match between Dempsey and Paslino with a chance at Tunney it successful both times. The loser will be eliminated as a contender. A heavy advance sale of tickets indicated the gate would run over 1 $400,000, of which the principals are to get a liberal share. A big at- tendance is expected {from Boston as both fighters hail from there, al- though Sharkey comes originally from Binghamton, N. Y. Prepacations for another headline today when Pete Latzo, welterweight title holder, is scheduled to begin training at Pompton lakes, where Maloney is now training, for his title bout with June 3, at the Polo Grounds.
