I3 Speaking of Sports The Falcon A. C. baseball team will be back at full strength in the game with the Hudsons of New Haven on Sunday and the brace of ; contests with the Bristol New De- patures on Monday. “Starhead” Budnick who was out of the lineup last Sunday with an injury to his leg, will be back at his position at third base. Manager John Cabay thinks he has solved the pitching problem over the two days. He plans to use both “Ginger” Cleary and Russ Fischer on Sunday, allowing each man to work half a game and then will use both in the two games on Monday. Amateur boxing will start to- night at Capital Park in Hartford. The tournament that was to have been staged last Monday night but which had to be postponed because of rain, will be conducted tonight. The tournament at the velodrome in East Hartford will be staged to- morrow night. At this time, Bat Battalino will make his last appear- ance as an amateur fighter. He is scheduled to appear as a profession- al for the first time at the velo- drome on June 6. His opponent is vet to be picked. Ed Hurley of the Massasoit A. C. of Hartford is planning a novelty for the weekly tournament schedul- ed at the velodrome next Tuesday night when le will stage a card entirely of heavyweights. Starting with the middleweight fighters at 160 pounds, all classes above will be represented. An all-heavyweight amateur ranks is something that hasn’'t been attempted in this sec- tion in some years, but it should be one of the greatest attractions on record among the simon pures. He hasn’t any plans to announce as yet, but expects to have the card pretty well made out by the time the tournament is finished tomor- row night. Patsy Bridgett definitely spiked the rumor that he was to stage an- other professional card in this city when he stated yesterday that he | contemplated no such action. Joe Jasper and Billy Darrow were two of the candidates trying out for the Pexto team of Southington last Sunday morning. Jasper switched over to third base and he showed a lot of stuff. The local boy is a popu- lar athlete in Southington because of his work with the basketball team and he should go big with the baseball team. The Elm City Athletle club will stage its first outdoor professional all-star card in New Haven on Thursday evening, May 26 at White Clty In Savin Rock. In case of rain, the bouts will ba held on the fol- lowing clear night. The varlous baseball teams in the city which are to stage games over the week-end will start, it is expect- «d, feverish activity to get in enough practice sessions to take the rust off the players between now and Sunday. The constant rain of the past few days has washed out any chances of practice sessions. The junior teams, ltowever, managed to get in their licks during the showers as is shown by the accounts of a few of the zames played. More interest is being shown In the clash in this city Monday after- r0on between the Falcons and the Bristol Endees than in any baseball game this season. A record break- ing crowd of fans should be on hand when these two outfits come to- gether. It has always been that the Bris- tol team, rated as the best baseball club in the state for a number of vears, failed to take notice of any New Britain teams and now that the Falcons have a chance to show that they are as good if not the masters of the neighboring outfit, very few baseball fans will miss the opportunity of seeing the battle. The Bristol team is fortifled with four pitchers, all of them top notchers. The veteran ‘“Dutch” l.eonard who should have taken up pitching as* a livelihood several years ago, has been added to the staft this year and he will by no means be the least respected .twirler on the team. Clyde Waters, the old veteran of many Connecticut league games in vears gone by, is still the efficient backstop and he will take his usual post behind the bat for the team Monday.

Haley of New York, the |former Williams college star, con- [tinved his march forward in the | British amateur golf tournament ]tnduy by taking into camp Major {8. K. Thorburn of Sunningdale three and one. Thorburn surren- dered unconditionally to young |Haley at the 17th hole and Ameri- |ca’s youthful contender for the | British amateur golfing crown pass- jed to the fifth round which will be |played this afternoon. Haley’'s de- |feat of Cyril Tolley “made him the cynosure of golfing | experts today. The match with Thorburn was {keenly contested. ~After losing the }lfith hole by missing a putt of a |yard, Haley came back on the 16th (and 17th with fine play, including {two striking second shots, that | brought victory. At the 16th he Llused a spoon for his second and 500 {holdly sent the ball straight over | |the out of bounds territory to the green edge. Major Thorburn tried to follow but was lost in the wil- {derness. Taking a par four for this /394 yard hole the American be- icame dormie two. At the 17th hole Haley's drive | was short but he pulled an iron out {of his bag and sent the ball whiz- |zing 225 yards to the treacherous green surrounded by bunkers and !an fron fence at the rear. The ball thopped dead four yards from the pin. Again the gallant major attempt- 'ed to follow. He had outdriven Haley by 40 yards but his mashie dropped like 2 dud shell into the |bunker. The major attempted to ‘explode it out of the sand but fail- |ed. Another blast brought the ball to the edge of the green but he had taken four already and whil Haley's ball was by no means dead, Thorburn smilingly raised both hands and conceded the match. Haley meets H. D. Gillies, of Woking, this afternoon. Gillies beat H. E. Taylor of Royal Mid-Surrey cight to six in the most decisive victory of the.championship so far, | Haley's game today was not so !eonvincing as that of yesterday, but his leap into the spotlight of the championship by defeating Tolley assured him of a big gallery. Hal was the first to drive out of bounds | but he managed to halve the first in fives by sinking a four yard put.! He lost the second and won the| third with a good par four, but was short on the fourth hole which | he lost.
