CHLESOHH6002DOSGBOBIEOERS Speaking of Sports According to our understanding, the Russell & Erwin baseball team will be minus the services of “Speck" Howard from now on as the second baseman is scheduled to play in the New Britain City league. "“Speck” showed good stuff in the -Industrial league and his services Will be missed by the Russwins. Manager Dan Malarney, in the opinion of many of the baseball fans, made an excellent move when he signed ‘up Joe Fitzpatrick to play first base for the All-Kensington team. *“Hooks” is without a doubt, the best first sacker in the city and has no peer as a baseball player. He would be our choice for premier first sacker of New Britain and had his ambition been such, he could have been disporting himself in league ball today. His brother Billy or “Buggy" asi he is better known, is receiving congratulations on the celebration of his 21st birthday. Billy is going on the'voting list at the next elec- tion. Fans remember him when he played 33 vears ago on some of the old teams, but a man's age is his own business. Paul Snyder and his red shirt is coming in for a lot of “kidding” these days. Paul is sporting a new car. He was taken in in Hartford a short time ago in the “Lizzie” for passing a traftic signal and that was the sign for him to get a new sports model. “Butsy" Hall, who has joined the Pirates, was the Babe Ruth of the Pratt Institute baseball team 1hisl season. “Butsy” cracked out about 14 home runs for his season’'s total. Not bad at all if he can keep his batting eye to help out the Pirates. Manager Harry Lenihan of the New Britain Machine team had to stand for a'great deal of kidding from the side lines yesterday after-! noon at Walnut Hill park. He was there with the “comebacks” all the time. When Harry's “goat” is out it i* only a sure sign that he is one of the hottest baseball fans in the city and it demonstrates his interest in the New Britain Machine team. Give him another season or two and he will build up a baseball club that will make a strong bid for | the pennant. From a tailender last | vear, Harry has a feam that is now making a battle to get into the first division, | “Connie Mack” McConn had his Stanley Workers going in,right time last night. Whenever the team, seemed to droop, it was Mack who'| stirred them up. The chatter from the Buttmakers' infield was well worth hearing. A little girl about five years old was playing with two sisters hehind first base and a poor throw bounced off Johnny Parsons’ glove and struck the child in the face. She wasn't hurt but she made quite a racket over it. Everything wass all right when Larry bought about a half dozen bottles of soda for herself and her friends. TITLE FIGHT TONIGHT ud Taglor and Tony Canzoneri Take Advantage of Day of Rest for Bantamweight Battle. Chicago, June 24 (®—Iud Taylor and Tony Canzoneri today made the most of an extra day's rest to build up to their utmost strength for their ten round bantamweight champion- ship battle tonight at Wrigley Field, postponed last night owing to cold weather. The fighers already have weighed in at 117 1-2 pounds each, so Can- zoneri is expected to go as high as 121 by tonight with Taylor adding a pound or two. At bell time last night the ther- mometer registered 54, although the skies were clear. With the purses covered by the advance sale, Pro- moter Jim Mullen called in the man- ager of the participants and offered to go through with the program, but they gladly agreed to the delay, which the boxing commission sanc- tioned. The first preliminary will be put on at 8:15 p. m., Chicago daylight time, with the championship battle starting about 10 o'clock. BLUES VS. MERIDEN New Britain Team to Meet Falcons From Silver City at Willow Brook Park Sunday. The New Britain Blues baseball team will battle the Meriden Fal- cons at Willow Brok park Sunday afternoon in a real diamond sensa- tlon. The visitors have a strong club that will be meeting a local team that has had a layoff of sev- eral waeks. DEMPSEY POLITE T0 JAGK SHARKEY Boston Boy's Cold Stare Means Nothing to Former Champion New York, June 24 frosty glare of Jack Sharkey's steel gray eyes means nothing to Jack . Dempsey, whose black scowl once held a highly terrifying reputation of its own. In the parlance of the ring, Shar- key “put the eyve” on the former heavyweight champion when the pair of Jacks met in Tex Rickard's Madi- son Square Garden yest:rday and signed articles ‘for Dempsey's first eflort along the comeback trail here July 21. The effect was not all that Sharkey expected. That Sharkey glare, a psychologi- cal barrage of high power, is com- monly supposed to have had a dis- astrous effect on Harry Wills before Jack whipped the giant negro last fail. They said it even irtimidated bold Michael McTigue and accounted for the “Indian sign™ the Boston gob is reputed to hold over Jimmy Ma- loney. It made Dempsey grin broad- 1y, After keeping Sharkey waiting 45 minutes in Rickard’'s office, Demp- sey swept into the room and ad- vanced on his rival Fand out- stretched. Down came Sharkey's eye- was on. “How's everything, sey asked with a wide, happy smile. “I'm glad to sce you. How is M Sharkey feeling?” Taken by surprise, the Boston Jack answered that his wife, who is recovering here from a major oper- atton, was doing nicely. That he, too, was feeling well, and suggested that Dempsey looked quite husk: too,” answered Dempsey, still smiling. “I hear you made a great showing against Maloney.” s, 1 guess 1 did,” Sharkey ad- mitted, apparently somewhat abash- ed, and before he quite reslized what | had happened Dempsey was off to- | ward the desk where the signing 1 in his wake. " The crowd that gathersd outside the building capped th climax by fcllowing Dempsey in a cheering | eircle when he left ahead of Sharkey. Traftic was normal when the Boston boy came down stairs.

CHURCH LEAGUE GAMES Three Games Are Scheduled to Be to ! stagod Tonight at Willow Brook Park—Meceting Postponed. Three Inter-Church lcague games are scheduled to be ph)cd at Willow Brook park at o'clock this evening. The low- )y Kensington Congregational team will stack up ag'lln'GL the First Baptists on the “grass diamond” and will attempt to break its losing streak. Manager Griffith thinks he has a new pitching find in Strople and, if his boys find their batting eye, he looks for the first win of the season. The Stanley Memorial team wiil have a chance to go into a tie for first place, for it will catch the First Lutherans if it defeats the Swedish Bethany feam in their game on Diamond No. 1 this eve- ning. The Stanmors have dropped only one game and are going at a steady pace; the Bethany contbina- tion is one which should give it plenty of trouble, however. Tho 8t. Matthew's Center Congregational game has, been postponed because of the Boy Scout victory banquet at the latter! church. The Trinity Methodists wil! engage the St. Matts in a play-off of the game rained out on May 16. ‘The Methodists are hopeful of re- peating their feat of last year when they were the only team to defeat th St. Matts, but the latter are de- termined not to let history repeat itself. The meeting of the board of man- agers last night had to be called off because of lack of attendance. Pres- ident George H. Hamlin has called another meeting for next Thursday night at the Y. M. C. at 7:30 o'clock. ' The Blues have been practicing faithfully for the past few weeks and Coack Dr. Andrew Zwick feels that the team is in perfect shape for the game. All signs of weakress that cropped out in the play of the team in its last few games, have apparently been corrected and all gaps in the infield have been filled to perfection.

Ry night she consorted with crooks. Upstairs in her pretty rooms the pink of London gathered to have i tea. Downstairs in the kitchen some of the shrewdest rascals in England laid plans for new coups. Now she has been taken away from the pretty rooms and sent to prison for four years and a half. That in a rutshell is the amazing | story of the woman who called her- self Josephine O'Dare. It's an old story in novels. It's not quite s0 common in real life. She burst upon London about three vears ago. She took a nice house in ons of the nicest streets in swell Mayfair. Aristocrats and people of title soon were going to ner parties. She entertained lavishly at the stylish hotels in the Wesf Fnd. She dressed fautlessly. She | went to the smartest shops in Bond street for her gowns and hats.

Not only was she very pretty, but she talked well and wittily. She w.s | voted “good fun.” She rode a splen< did horse in Rotten Row.

He favored his fellow | countryman, Francis T. Hunter, in the match with the English veteran | Arthur H. Lowe, and Hunter won, -2, 8.6, 6-3, reaching the fourth | round of the Wimbledon tourna- | ment. i Tilden was elated over this—over | the victory and the fact that he had picked the winner. When he was reminded that he had chosen Mrs. ! Molla Mallory over Betty Nuthall, young English player, whose victory | oue of the greatest upsets of the | tournament, he said, “Well, it is | fifty-fifty—not so bad.” Tilden has not lost a single set in the three matches he has played thus far, and it is the general opin- ion that if he had really extended himself he might not have lost a single game, Hunter is playing earnest and su- perior tennis. His fellow teammates said that if he succeeded in over- coming his next opponent, J. Colin Gregory, English ranking player, he undoubtedly would give Henri Co- chet, the French star, a stift battle, While the defeat of Mrs. Mallory seven times American champion, at the hands of the youthful Miss Nut- | hall, was a scvere shock to the | American team, they took solace s | far as possible in the Hunter vic- | tory over Lowe, of Tilden over G. T. Hughes, of Miss Helen Wills and it and the fact that Miss Ryan in de. feating Mrs. H. C.
