Speaking of Sports Bill Sweeney and Clarence Man- ning called off their final match for the president's cup at Shuttle Mea- dow Saturday because of the team match between the Hartford Golf club and Shuttle Meadow and agreed to play it oft' today. The early morning weather out- 100k wasn't any too promising and it was doubtful if the match would be | staged. However, the battle between the pair which is taken as a good ' forecast as to how the club cham- pionship will turn out, is drawing a[ great deal of interest. Manning last year won the cham- pionship at the club and he is hacked by a large number to repeat this year. Sweeney, however, has been shooting marvelous golf all sea- son and he will be a big obstacle for the champion to hurdle. Rain kept hundreds of spectators away from Shuttle Meadow yester- vearance on the course. He and day when Bob Gardner made his ap- Steiner met Sweeney and Irwin as schedunled and a great match re- sulted, It was settled on the 19th sreen. “Kid” Kaplan of Meriden s carrying out his reputation of being . philanthropist by appearing gratis at St. Joseph's circus tonight with 12ddie Lord his sparring mate in a sparring exhibition at the Edson street grounds. His actlon in returning $1,500 back to the Catholic Boys' club in New York following the deficit suf- fered at the boxing show last Wed- nesday night, is considered in New, Britain as one of the finest acts of aportmanship on record. Kaplan led the way and the others are expected to follow. The Philadelphia amateur boxing team will make its return appear- ance in Hartford tomorrow night at the weekly tournament staged at the Velodrome by the Massusoit A. C. The team made a great impression a few wecks ago when it first ap- prared against Connecticut hattlers and went home with a few victories tucked away. The team is out to take every match this time but it will stack up agalnst the best that the Nutmeg state can offer. Bat Battalino will be unable to appear against Jimmy Walker and have a decisive result in the bout, but Ray Taylor of Terry- ville will face him. MEMORIAL TABLET UNVEILED AT YALE Tribute to Honor of Builder of Famous “Bowl” New Haven, Conn., June 20 (P— A tablet in memory of Charles Ad- dison Ferry, '71, 8., designer of the Yale bowl, was dadicated here to- day. The tablet, which was unveiled by Miss Ruth M. Ferry, his daugh- | ter, was placed above Portal 10 of the bowl. The presentation to the university was made by Smith F. Ferguson of PLAY GOLF MATCH DESPITE SHOWERS Bob Gardner and Steiner Win Battle on 19th Green Despite the driving rain of yes- terday, Bob Gardner, former ama- teur champion of the country, and Harold, Steiner, Metropolitan star, matched golf shots with Bill Sweeney and Chet Irwin at the Shuttle ! Meadow club in the feature event of (the annual reunion of the class of 11912 of Yale University. The match was one of the most bitter fought on the course in many seasons with the famous visitors winning one up at the 19th hole. It was Steiner, one of the low [handicap man in the Metropolitan district, who shot the marvelous golf | during the match. With the rain and making the greens and fairways | quagmires of mud and wet grass, the New Yorker turned in a crack 74 for | a marvelous score considering con- ditions. He had a 37 going out and he duplicated the count coming in. Gardner had a 75, Irwin a 79 and Sweeney a 77. Irwin had trouble with his putts and missed several short shots that he would have or- dinarily made. ! It was more than a reunion for Steirter because he first took up golf | under the tutelage of Val Flood, pro at Shuttle Meadow. Val had Stelner | for a pupil at Far Rockaway 20 yoars ago and in yesterday's match, | the New York star used a “set of | clubs made for him by Flood. | The rain kept hundreds of disap-| pointed fans from viewing the match. The appearance of Gardner | here was an event of supreme im- portance to the members and golf |fans at Shuttle Meadow. The bat- | tle given' the two visitors by Sweeney !and Irwin with the match going an |extra hole, has started agitation jamong the members to bring the Na- tional and Metropolitan stars back again for a fair-day match. - BOXING AT CIRCUS | Louls (Kid) Kaplan To Give Exhi- bition With Sparring Partner, Ed- die Lord, Tonight. | Those who plan to attend St. Joseph's circus on the Edson strect grounds tonight, will be treated. be-| sides the wusual circus acts, to a/| series of sparring exhibitions, top-| ped by the appearance of Louis | (Kid) Kaplan, former - feather- weight champion of the world and Connecticut’s’ ace in the race for lightweight honors.

The latest blasing occurred yester- day, when a charge of explosive, planted in spite of the watchfulness ot scores of armed guards, blew out a 16-foot section of a concrete lined ditch two miles south of Lone Pine. The blast, which was felt in Lone | Pine, did not materially ympair the operation of the aquednct, officials reported. Although the waterway was under heavy patrol the guards in the vi- cinity reported secing no onec ap- proach the big ditch. The roar of the blast was the first suspicion they had of another attack.
