Speaking of Sports Trying to beat the weather has become the popular pastime in Hart- ford this week in the matter of the outdoor boxing tournaments. One tournament was carded for Capitol park on Monday night while another was to have been held at the East Hartford velodrome on Tuesday night. Both had to be postponed because of rain. The tournament at Capitol park was postponed yntil Thursday while the velodrome show was postponed until tonight. Ed Hurley, business manager for the Massasoit A. C. ®hich conducts | the open air tournaments at the velo- drome has found it necessary to post- pone the tournament once again from tonight to Friday night. The same card of boxers with Bat Bat- talino meeting Jimmy Walker of Philadelphia and other Connecticut simon pures battling other Quaker City fighters, will be shown. This will be Battalino's last ap- pearance as an amateur. He plans | to turn professional immediately and will probably make his next appear- ance in a ring as such. More than 200 people attend the tournaments in Hartford each night | they are run and many have in- quired as to parking facilities near the velodrome, On the grounds sur- rounding the mammoth arena, there is space for almost a thousand cars while on the boulevard where there is unrestricted parking, there is room for many more, There are other parkeng spaces in the vicinity of the | park so that anyone driving to the | tournaments should have no diffi- | culty in finding a place for a car. - This weeg-end will be an extreme- ly busy one for New Britain baseball | teams. The Falcons are scheduled to play the New Haven Hudsons Sun- day afternoon and a double header with the Bristol New Departures on Monday. The Pirates will open their home season at Willow Brook park on Sunday against the fast St. John's team of Meriden. The Corbin Red Sox go to Southington to play the Pextos of that town in the first game on the schedule of the newly formed Central Connecticut baseball league and the Kensington team meets the Landers, Frary & Clark club at the Percival avenue grounds in Kensington. —_— The Southington team will have a representation of New Britain basc- ball players on the squad. Last Sunday, Joe Jasper, former All-Ken- | sington shortstop, made a favorable impression on the management and coach by his work at third base and | he will probably be stationed there for the season. “Slim” Politls, elongated and | husky cop of this city, will probably be selected as one of the mainstays of the pitching department of the town team. The outfit is in nced of a left handed twirler and “Slim” has | been recommended to them. Nego- tiations for his services may be! opened up today. AMERICAN CARS, ONLY, IN SPEEDWAY EVENT Veterans of Indianapolis Event of Other Years Burning Up | | | Speedway. Indianapolis, May 25 (P—For the first timé in several years only American made automobiles will participate in the annual 500 mile race at the Indianapolis motor speed- way next Monday. The only foreign car entered, a French creation, was declared out of the race today after having broken a connecting rod. Virtually all the veteran speedway drivers and a host of younger pilots today were putting the finishing touches on their cars in anticipation of the qualification trials to be held tomorrow and Friday. Each car driven by the man who will be be- hind the wheel at the start of the race must negotiate ten miles or four laps-at a minimum average speed of 90 miles an hour to be ecligible. Frank Lockhart, winner of last yvear's race here; Leon Duray, leading Hartz, Cliff Durant and Pete De Paolo have been hitting the bricks close to 120 miles an hour in prac- tice spins. Rain the last two days has handi- capped the drivers. ESCAPED JAGUAR KILLED Havana, Cuba, May 25 (P—A " BY BILLY EVANS 1. Runners on second and third score on a base hit by an improper batsman, only to have the mistake properly discovered, what 1is the ruling? 2. Ddes the base umpire ever call a balk? 8. What happens when a coacher at first or third, stationed in foul territory, is hit by a thrown ball? 4. Bases fllled, two out, batter ap- parently triples, scoring all runners but fails to touch first base, for which he is called out on appeal. What ahout the runs? 5. Bases filled, two out, batter ap- | parently triples but fails to touch second and is called out on appeal. What about the runs? | | | THIS TELLS IT 1. Proper batsman is called out. | Since no runners can advance on any | act of the improper batsman they are | set back to second and third. 2. It is within his power, but he seldom does, that being regarded as a duty of the umpire-in-chief. 3. The ball shall be considered in play, unless in the opinion of the |umpire the coacher intentionally in- | terferes with such thrown bAll. It | he so decides, runner or runners re- | iturn to the bases last touched and | jeoacher is penalized by his removal | from field. 4. The runs do not score. No runs score on any play in which batsman fails to reach first, as was | the case here, since the batsman who ' tripled, never touched it. 5. All runs score on what was really only a single by the batsman. Lailure to touch second had no bear- ing on the runs that crossed the CAN'T BEAT U. §. Spirig of Lindbergh Inspires Young Tennis Player in Match \\'Ilh‘ Clever Frenchman, St. Cloud, France, May 25 (P Between gasps at the conclusion of | the gruelling tennis match, which he lost yesterday tp Sydney B. Wood, | youthful ~ American player, the | French junior player, Pierre Bar- | relet Dericou sald: “The spirit of | Lindbergh animated Wood. How can anyone heat the United States this week."” L The match between Wood and Dericou, whose combined ages are | just equal to Bill Tilden's years, was the sole topic among tennis fans be- fore the start of the second day's play in the international hardcourt championships today. The American srasped the victory after five stren- uous sets, 0-6, 6-S, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4. Spectators deserted the Centre court where the masterly Tilden was giv- ing a tennis lesson to Scnor Andreu of Spain, for the number seven court to watch the spirited battle between the tennis hopes of the future. Both bovs were exhausted after the match. Tilden won from Andreu in easy fashion, 6-2, 6-2, 6-0. Francis T. Hunter, his American team mate, defeated Alphonse Persin, 6-4, 6-3, BILLIARD TOURNEY | | | One Night Play to Be Staged at Rogers Par- lors Thursday Night.
