zSpeaking of Sports Washington, May 17 (/—The civil A meeting of representatives of | tactories interested in the formation of a Girls' Industrial League base- ball league, will be held at o'clock | tonight in the Y. M. C. A. Bryce long, secretary of the lndusxrml Athletic Council has called the | meeting after receiving assurances that the Stanley Works, Stanley Rule & Level, P. & F. Corbin, Landers, Frary & Clark and New Britain Machine will all be repre- sented. More concerns may be represent- ©d at the meeting tonight as Secre- tary Long has invited all the In- dustrial ulants to send representa- tives to the meeting. Judging from the weather at the present time, the long deferred fare- well appearance of Bat Battalino, national amateur featherweight champion, as an amateur, 1l take place at the velodrome in East Hart- tord tonight. The champion was to have met Jimmy Walker, champion of Pennsylvania, on Tuesday night but rain caused postponement of tpe tournament from then until to- night. The Philadelphia team will ap- pear tonight as scheduled and one of the largest crowds ever to View an amateur tournament will be on hand to watch the natlonal cham- pion go through his paces for the last time as a simon-pure boxer. Battalino, next week, will turn in his amateur registration card and will on June 6 at the same velo- drome, enter on his career as a pro- fessional. This is probably the big- zest event locally in boxing circles in some time. . Battalino has had such great suc- cess as an amateur that many are speculating on whether he will have the same success as a professional. Bat must remember that the sled- ding in the older game s much tougher and harder and he will have to take things easy if he is to climb to the top in the division as he did in the amateurs. Those who have been closest to Battalino while he was an amateur, are certain that with the proper handling, he will reach the goal of becoming featherweight —champion of the world. This won't come right away, they say, but with proper con- Aitioning and matching. the Hart- ford lad shows great promisc. There are others who don’t think that Battalino has much science atl his command. Whether he has or not doesn't make much difference at the present time. He has the| heart in the first place, he knows how to hit in the second place, he is young and has the stamina and any man with these qualities will acquire science with experience, To us, there never was a greater champion than Battalino, Every time that we saw him in action and these times number into the hun- dreds, he gave us plenty of thritls. His long string of knockouts made him exceptional even in the ama-| teur ranks and the ease with which he piled through the list of contend- ers at the national tournament in Boston, made him a real national champion. The fans who followed the am teur fights in s city during the in the paid ranks with interest. W believe he will go far if greed doe: n't grasp his handlers. He isn't the kind of a hoy to dissipute or throw away the best thing he has, his strength, and he will probably have a great deal to say about his com- ing battles.

Kirby, | chairman of the advisory committee |of the I C. A. A. A.

The | |amendment will be brought before | the next annual convention of the A. | AL Ul in Cincinnati next November. | The amendment would require the | statement of accounts to give “in, |d all reccipts and disbursements | | relative to such meet, all obligations | |or arrangements with athletes or | |anyone representing or claiming to| | represent such athletes relating to| | the entering, appearing or competing | of any athletes at such meet and any | | obligations incurred therefor.” i | The A.

The Kensington Congregational church outfit, which has not yet played a game, will meet the hard- | acting scrutiny of gridiron fandom. }hmlng Stanley Memorial teag. The| Stanmors crushed the Bible class last week, and Kensington must put up a fine exhibition of baseball if it hopes to stop the east end wreck- ing_crew. The Swedish Bethany and St Matthew's German Lutheran church teams will play each other in what should be a fine contest. The Beth- ¢ captured its first game two wecks ago and has strength in general, while the St. Matts, so far held in check by the weather, will take the field with almost the same lineup as that which won the cham- pionship a year ago. The 'Every- man's Bible cl will tackle the Trinity Methodists in the third game. The E. B. C. has into the field and will have a good team when it does: the Methodists, as in 1926, have a fine defensive ag- gregation which can make the most of a run or two.

The Flat Band Method, invented and pat. enteqd by the United States Rubber Company, puts longer wear into a tire because it is the most precise method of tire building ever developed. It is comparable to the exact engineering practice of bridge design and construction. Just as the position, length and load of each cable in a bridge are calculated and fixed in advance, so with the cords in a United States Tire. By the Flat Band Method the plies are laid without tension. The length of each cord is precisely right. The relation of the cords, one to another, is exact. The result is a tire in which uniform tension and strength of every cord are assured. The load is equalized all around. Longer wear follows.
