Speaking of Sports VOPOVPNPC AT PTIVIICT VI I | The long awaited 100 yard dash that was to settle the bitter argu- ment which has been raging among the employes of the Gas Co. was run off last night at Willow Brook park. Eddie Delaney, former High school aprint star broke the tape the win- | ner. He was only a step ahead of Barnes and Keefer was a close third. | @ ably € | remainder of the scason. | The event was held at Willow Brook park and although no official | time was made of the race, De-| laney is officially recognized as the | record holder in Gasco circles. It/ 13 expected that the members of the Gasco organization will mnow turn their attention solely to illuminating gds and let the other gas subside | in a natural manner. | The New Britain Falcons will | mect the Derby Falcons on the base- ball diamond next Sunday afternoon. The game will be one of the features of the observance of the 20th anni- versary of the Falcon club in this city. It will be started at o'clock Sunday afternoon instead of at the usual hour of three. The proceeds of the game Sunda will be turned into the Falcon buil ing fund and it iIs expected that a record crowd for St. Mary's field will be on hand included among | which will be several hundreds of visiting members of the order. ! Manager John Cabay recclved a | comforting bit of news from Hart- | ford which stated that “Ginger” Cleary would be back with the team next Sunday. The Capital City south- paw has been ill for more than two wecks but he is reported to be in excellent shape at the present time. | The Falcons will practice tonlghtl at 6:30 o'clock at St. Mary's field in | preparation for the game Sunday. l Coach *“Chucky” Wojack will put the ‘ entire squad through a stiff drill. Johnny Tobin will attend the meeting of the schedule committec | of the Central Connecticut Baseball league in Meriden tonight. This will |- A precede the meeting of the franchise | holders in the circuit. The com- | mittee expects to draw up a schedule tonight and have it adopted by the league managers. | Manager Tobin announced also to- day that the Corbin Red Sox would | open the home season at Willow | Brook park next Sunday. The team's opponent will be known definitely tomorrow. Manager Tobin expects 1o have an especially good attraction here to inaugurate the start of Sun- day baseball in the city's park. The Corbin Red Sox will open play in the Central Connecticut Ieague in | this city on Sund June n an- nov ng this, Manager Tobin show- ed an excellent bit of sportsmanship. A series of two games between the New Britain Falcons and the Bristol | New Departures has been tlfifl)\lt!‘l)'v arranged by Manager John Cabay for Decoration The local team will play in Bristol in tho morning and will meet the Bell City team at St. Mary’s ficld in this city in the after- noon. | Manager Tobin had the opportu- | nity of opening league play in this city on Decoration Day but knowing that the Ialcons had already con- tracted for the important serles with | the Bristol Endees, he postponed the league games until the following Sunday because of the fact that the Falcons are under an extra heavy expense in bringing the Bristol team here. In meeting the New team in the two games, Cabay is stepping out to strong bid for the satte | champlonship. The New Departures | have in years gone by, been recog- ! nized generally as a strong contender | for the state title and if the Falcons | dispose of the team in two game: they will have a decided edge in the race for the mythical flag. ~ Departure Manager | make a | semi-pro | be | Adam §ullick is reported to | angling for a berth with the Taft- | ville team as a catcher but whether he lands it or not is another ques tion.

This will give him a right handed batter, Schmidt, against southpaws and a left handed batter, Ferguson, against right handers. He also plans to hold onto Mickey Bucheri as one of the most promis- ing youngsters in the city today. Leo Larriviere of Waterbury who meets Ray Hall of Hartford on the Mohawk A. C. amateur card here! tomorrow night, beat Johnny Krock of Meriden in Hartford last night. This scems to indicate that Larriviere is in tip-top shape for tomorrow night's battle. ' The Herald will announce the re- sults of the Maloney-Sharkey bout tomorrow night. Officials of the Mohawk A. C., have also made ar- rangements to hkve the round by round results announced from the ringside at the Tabs' hall. * The interest in the battle of the two Trishmen in New York is intense in this section especially because both are from Boston, and among the leading contenders for Tunney's title. Jack Dempsey will probably he the opponent of the winner a little later this year. GIVE SOME REASONS FOR ABANDONING TENNIS TOUR Baldwin Baldwin of California States Why Lenglen's Court Circus Was Cancelled Nice, France, May 18 (M—Exag- gerated ideas by amateurs of their carning capacity, lack of Muitable | tennis grandstands, the heavy ex- | pense of transportation, living con- ditions, and a general lack of in- terest in professional tennis are| some of the reasons given by Bald-' win Baldwin, of California, for the abandonment of the continental tour of Suzanne Lenglen. “Chiet of all,” Mr. Baldwin said in a statement to the Associated | Press, “is the fact that I saw the npossibility of making even hare expenses. 1 believe Europe is not t ready for professional tennis. irstly, amateur players demanded orbitant salaries for turning pro- fessional; then, it seems to be the idea that higher than top-rate prices should be paid for courts for pro- fessional use, and my scouts found no great feeling of warmth for the | proposed exhibitiona™ Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, in a state- ted Press sever- Furopean tennis tour had been her English engagements as ar- ranged. She gave no explanation as to why the tour had been called off, and asserted that nothing definite | plans. There has been talk, how- ever, of her opening a tennis school at C'umM nest year. BEDBUGS WIN TITLE | Team Captures Sepior Volley Ball Championship of Roys' Club League. The Bedbugs, captained by Nick | Gill, captured the senior volley ball championship of the Boya' club last night by defeating the Lice in When the league k ago Nick GilI's Bed- bug array was tied for first place fort to play off the tie and decide the title was made, but it resulted in fajlure when the ball blew up under the strain at the conclusion of the first game. The Bedbugs had won that game, 15-4. All week the rivaly grew more and more bitter between the two teams, the interest being enhanced by the fact that Superintendent was a member of the Bedbugs and Physical Director Raynard Anderson a player on the Tice. Last night the teams resumed hnltle. but the mateh did not last |long, for the Bedbugs again were victorious, this time by 15-11. ‘year cost $7.80 Cineinnati —Comment from « Wiltye-Knight ownee.

(Spectal to the Herald) Hartford, May 18.—Forty-seven | ‘wponds after the gong clanged for | the bout between Bat Battalino of | ‘Hmt'ord and Paul Ventura of Law- | rence, Mass, at the East Hartford Velodrome last night, Ventura's seconds tossed a towel in the ring | | admitting that their man had| | cnough. Battalino sprang to the at- | tack at the gong and land | sillade of rights to Ventur. W, | The Lawrence lad sagged and went | down. When he regained his foct hc | was recling and as Bat went for| | him again the towel came fluttering !through the ropes. At their last | meeting Bat won on a technical | | knockout and many claimed that | | Ventura could give him the scrap | of his lite. Their hopes were blast- | ed. | The boxing card, which was put | {on by the Massasoit A. C., was re- | plete with thrills and the 5500 fans | were well repaid for attending. k" O'Loughlin, Connecticut's premier announcer told the fans that Battalino will make his appear- ance-on the next card for the last| time in an amateur ring. The loy is going 1o enter professional circles and make a stab for the big money. | TEAMS IN ACTION | Baseball | [ i i.\'(’w Britain High School and Track Squads to Mect Smmgi Opposition. i The New Britain High school bascball and track teams will swing | into action this week.
