Speaking of Sports The Pirates of this city are going to trot out a strong aggregation of players against the Kensington Tabs tomorrow in their first step into the Western Connecticut league. The locals have already secured “Butsy” | Hall and now have acquired Johnny | Sheehan as a member of the tribe of Buccaneers, With the stars of former years back in harness, the team gives vpromise of making trouble for all ; ihe other outfits in the circuit and | tomorrow’s clash with the junior tcam from the Paper Goods town ans a battle that will be a sizzler from the start to the finish, “Slim” Politis has been doing the | burden of the pitching for the Ken- sington team and he will have the cxperience of facing his old team- | mates when he steps into the box against the Pirates tomorrow. The Pirates feel confident that they will make him walk the plank. A peculiar eoincldence took place vesterday in the Eastern league in which three games were played Wwhen each contest resulted in the scors of 6 to 4. Hartford beat Bridgeport 6 to 4: Providence beat | Pittsfleld 6 to 4 and New Haven, downed Albany 6 to 4. Bill Sweeney of the Shuttle Me: dow club shot a hole in one at the Hartford Golf club Thursday after- noon, The feat was turned at thel cighth hole. He was shooting a | practice round in preparation for » championship and came to ard drive. He lald the ball stralght down the fairway, onto | the green and into the cup. Chalk | up another name for the golfing hall of fame, Willle Wojack who becomes a| henedict next Tuesday, was the guest | of honor at a gathering of friends ‘at the Falcon club last night. The | reception was staged by members of the Falcon baseball team and of the club. About 20 were present and a real time was staged. This | will be one of those events that will stick in Willie’s mind after he | enters the married state. H Another haseball player to “stop off”” from eingle blessedness into the center of orange blossoms, i= Angelo Morelli. Angelo will also he mar- ried next Tuesda . Maybe these two will he like Paul Waper of the Pittsburgh club. Paul was married a few weeks ago and he asked for permission to take the time oft for his honeymoon. He was refused and immediately he started on a batting rampage that hasn't stopped vet. HAPLAN TRAINING HARD FOR FIGHT Former Feather Champion Mests Bruce Flowers Tuesday Night Louls (Kid) Kaplan and Bruce Flowers, who are scheduled to meet for ten rounds in the main jam at the Queensboro A. C. next Tuesday night, are ripping things wide open at their respective training camps. Kaplan is a bear for work but the colored battler is just as zealous in his training. Kaplan put in a big day at his Meriden quarters yesterday with a hefty corps of punch absorbers. In all the “Kid” worked 11 rounds and pulled up like the tireless worker that he is. If condition counts for anything. Kaplan is due to raise ruc- ! tions with the New Rochelle boy. | During session Kaplan gave Eddic Lord a tough time of it for two | rounds and then took on Tracey | Ferguson, a welter for a brace of roun There were some lively | doings while “Kappy” ripped and tore at his much larger opponent, As a wind up to the boxing end of the program Kaplan called for his Lrother, Izzy, and the two plastered cach other for two rounds. Kaplan then worked two rounds at the| light bag and a round each at rope | <kipping, shadow boxing and at the | TS BALL LI INTHE OLD DAYS Jack Wright Was First Cross- Handed Batter on East Side While “Chick" Stanley, Fafnir Bearing Company ace, was taming | the P. & F. Corbin team in the In- dustrial League a few evenings ago, | and only Johnny Wright was abic to find his offerings with any de- gree of consistency, the thoughts of many of the spectators went back to other days when that same Johnny Wright could swat the pitching of any twirler in these parts. About twelve years ago, he was catching for the Corbin tecam in the Industrial League besides playing with varlous teams in the eastern section of the city, and judging from his performance thus far this season he has lost rnone of his prowess. His work behind the bat and with the stick is one of the reasons, and an important one, too, for the posi- tion of the Corbin crowd at the top of the pile and if they fall down it will not be his fault for he is play- ing steady ball as he has always done since his “kid’ 'days over on the east side. Wright was a cross-handed batter until George Kron, who managed the Corbin team twelve or thirteen years ago, induced him to turn around and hit from the left side of the plate. Johnny tried it over at Clectric Field one day and failed to hit the ball past the pitcher. Kron, wise in the ways of ball players, advised him to stick to it, and never bat cross-handed again even if he hit pop flles al season, and within a few weeks, Wright was laying on all kinds of pitching and belting hard smashes to all corner of the lot. From that time on he was a hard hitter and his worth was demon- strated last scason when he turned in some pretty clouts after a late start in the Industrial League. This season he 1{s the clean-up hitter for Corbins and the way be belted Stanley's curves when the other Corbinites wecre helpless, was dust another proof of his prowess, At the rate he is hitting. he should win many ball games, and he is no slouch as a backstop, either. SHITH 1S FINED AND SUSPENDED Pittshurgh Catcher Punished for Attack on Dave Bancrolt 25 New York, June (P —Farl Smith's assault on Manager Dave Bancroft of the Boston Braves, termed a “disgraceful ck with- out warrant or warninz.” by Presi- dent John A. Heydler of the National leagiue, will cost the Pittsburgh catcher a fine of $500 and suspen- sion for 30 days dating trom June 18. A The league head class2d the attack as “yicious and brutal” in meting out his punishment yestorday. Ban- croft was kngcked unconscious by & blow from Smith's fist during a game between the Pirates and Braves at Pittsburgh June 18. Several stitches were ne ary to close a wound in Bancroft's head. The punishment, one uf the most severe ever handed out in the hi tory of the league, came after Um- pires Umpires McCormick and Kiem, who officiated in the game, reported that Smith's actions entirely unwarranted. The assault occurred at the plate when Bancroft, after scor- ing in the seventh inning, reported to the umpires that “Smith was abusing me something awrul.” “Without warning, or giving the smaller man a chance to defend him- | self,” PResident Heydler's statement | said, “Smith, a big man of excep- tional strength and power, struck Bancroft in the face with such for that the stricken man fell in a help- | less heap and was carried uncon- scious and blzeding from the field." “The evidence of the umpire shows that with practically no provocation he roused himself to such rage that his act might have resulted seriously or even fatally. Hours afterward, Heydler said, Smith showed no repentance for his act and displayed a belligerent atti- NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1927.

ANOTHER TTLE 1S TAKEN BY FARRELL Metropolitan Champ Wins East: ern Open With Total of 287 Delaware Water Gap, Pa.. June 25 M—Johnny Farrell, metropolitan golf champion and winner of the Shawnee open tournament has add- ed another title to his string. The colorful Quaker Ridge pro- fessional won the eastern open champlenship over the Wolf Hollow course vesterday In one of his char- acteristic whirlwind finishes, shoot- ing a 69 on the final round for a total of 287 for the 72-hole test, His, | triumph was over virtually the same men he defeated at Shawnee earlier in the week and included most of the country's leading players, The victory was Farrell's fourth this season, the other having been in the open tournament at Wheel- ing, W. Va. His finish here was an- other of the kind that has made one of the outstanding money-play- crs in the country. With a 73 for the morning round, he jumped from third place to tie at 218 with Willie MacFarlane, former national open champion, to lead the field by one atroke. All hopes of heading off the fast- stepping Johnny faded soon after the turn in the afternoon round and a fight started for second place, with Walter Hagen, defending cham- plon. making a desperate effort to overhaul MacFarlane, Hagen's par 71 not only fell short, but he was tied for third place by Leo Diegel, White Plains, N. Y., who rushed in with a 69. MacFarlane's second place score was 201 while Hagen and Diegel each had 292. Farrell played a steady game throughout the tournament, his two rounds of 70 and 75 landing him in a tie for third place with Hagen at the end of the first 36 holes.

OUR BOARDING also on the| HARVARD WINS IN ANNUAL REGATTA Crimson Crew Comes in Three- Quarters of a Length in Lead New London, Conn., June 24 UM —Something of a “jinx,” it seems, is stalking the classic Harvard- Yale regatta to prevent any var- sity crew from going beyond a string of six successive victories. For the fourth time in the 7§ years of regatta history a winning sireak has been checked at six in |a row anld Harvard today is enjoy- ing the fruits of a sweet triumph over ita ancient rival, ending the famine it has experienced in row- ing glory asince 1930, The “jinx" struck Yale around the three-mile mark in last eve- ning’s climax to the annual regatta at a stage of their sensational four- mile race when the Elis were fast cutting down Harvard's lead. Dana Bartholomew, Blue No. 6, ‘caught a corab,” rowing parlance for fail- ing to get his oar out of the water in time, and Yale lost what seemed to be a bright prospect of coming through to register a seventh suc- cessive triumph instead of the mis- ihap costing the Elis three quarters |of a length or more at a time when they were within a quarter length of the Crimson bow. Thus fortifieq, Harvard's stalwarts, a powerful, fighting outfit, went on to win by three quarters of a length as they | stood off Yale's desperate ¢losing challenge. It was a spectacular finish to a regatta that had a distinct tinge most of the day for the crowd | of 50,000 spectators who viewed the events from observation trains, bridges, shores and a record break- ing flect of yachts, steamers, war- ships and other craft. It came after the Yale freshmen and junior var. sity each "had scored record-shat. tering triumphs in the two pre- liminary races at two miles. The |freshmen in time that hroke all two mile records for this regatta, 9:18, and tied the best performance ever achieved at Poughkeepsie in 1903 by Cornell. Yale, its Leader “system” having thus met its first two fests in spec- tacularly triumphant fashion, came to the final race with six straight victories to its credit for third time in the regatta's history. From 1892 to 1898 and again from 1900 to 19 the Elis piles up big winning streaks, in addition to their latest. 1308 fo 1913 but the same Elis once more. Yale was a favorite for the big! Irace and there seemed no flaws in |its early racing schedule, even! though Harvard's sturdy sons, get- ting a fast start, swept out to open a small gap of water between the two shells at the half way mark. the Elis were playing their usual * ing"” game, the Leader system of pouncing on its rivals in the last half of the battle, & But this time the best laid plans went astray. Harvard yielded all but a quarter length of its margin as the Elis came on with & tre- mendous challehge but nearing the three mile stake Bartholomew lost ! the stroke, threw the whole crew out of gear and brought the shell to a near standstill for a few pre- clous seconda. | They were quickly together again, these Elis, but in the meantime Har- vard had shot out to a full length | lead or better and this time it was | too much for the Blue to overcome. They finished fast, closing the gap steadily in long sweeping strides but | Warvard's sustained power exhibited | from start to finish waa sufficient to keep the upperhand. Coming on top of Harvard's spec- tacular baseball triumphs over Yale | during the previous few days, it was a brilliant climax to the Crimson | athletic rivalry with its ancient ri- i val for the spring campaign of 1927, the most fruitful Cambridge has; enjoyed in many a moon.

Faced with reports from Chicago that the Illinois state athletic com- mission wanted the match for that | city, hat promoters there were ready and willing to stage the battle with ihim, and that plans already were under way to hold the fight at Sol- dier Field with a seating capacity of 150,000, the taciturn promoter an- nounced today that he 4id not know where the fight would take place. Rickard admitted he wculd rather hold Tunney's first title defense in New York than in Chicago, where the boxing commis- sion insists that residents of the state alone may act as promoters. He would prefer, too, to stage the match befare the same fans who patronized the series of preliminary battles in the elimination tournament that will culminate at the Yankee Stadium July 21 in the choice of either Dempsey or Sharkcy as the cham- pion's ehallenger. But the financial aspect of the case has Rickard baffled for the mo- ment, despite the promoter's conten- {1ion that a $1,500,000 “gate,” the | highest possible at the Stedium un- | der the maximum seat price of $27.50 allowed in New York, still would allow him a profit on the fray. Although Rickard's guarantee to Tunney for the title defense is not known, the sum probably will reach $700,000. Jack Dempaey's announce- ment that he would not accept 15 per cent the challenger's “end” it he won through to a title match, has! | added strength to reports that the | former champion has been: guar- | anteed almost half a millien dollars for a possible Tunney battie. kven the lightning calculations cf the pro- { moter can find little profit left in a 181,500,000 “house™ after these guar- antees, and expenses attendant & | lessons of their drawn battle | atter. ure he once set as a top price for a heavyweight title strugsla. When asked by the commission if a “top” of $27.50 woull not be “enough if the fight were held in New York.” Rickard said: “It would have to be; I guess.” Further than that the promoter would not commit himself. “I have not made a decision,” lie said. I have several sites in view and, of course, 1 want to hold the bout in New York, but my plans are not definite.” CANZONERI BEATEN IN FERCE BATTLE Bud Taylor Restores Supremacy in Bantamweight Ranks Chicago, June 25 (A—Bud Tay- lor's supremacy among the ban- tamweights was completely restored yesterday, with his vigorous repulse of the most desperate challenge he has met since the west crowned him the 118 pound champion, Tony Canzoneri, New York's con- tender for the bantam title, fell vic- tim to Taylor's gloves in their ten round battle last night, the judges and referece, Joe Choynski, giving Taylor a unanimous decision. The two lads furnished the most thrilling action Chicago fight fans have seen since the sport was legal- | ized & year ago. Profiting by the last March, Taylor rushed the little New Yorker almost constantly. Nearly every round offered a wild swinging melee in the center of the ring in which Canzoneri generally got the worst of it. In the Very first round Taylor drove Tony about the ring as though trving for an smmediate knockout and Canzoneri never overcame that lead. Tony caught one flush on tigh mouth which kept it bleeding there- Tn the meventh Tony retorted with jabs to Taylor's left eye which gradunlly closed the optic, by the end of the fight. The highly touted Jgnacio Fernan- dez, latest Filipino bantam importa- tion, lived up to his reputation by knocking out Abe Attell Goldstein, former bantam king, in the seventh round. Geldstejn seemed unable to dodge the solid right crosses which Fernandez landed repeatedly on his jaw, and the little brown boy receive ed few returns. Goldstein's flat footed tactics made him a mark for the Filipino's rights, and though he weathered the storm in the sixth, after a nine count, he was put down for the full ten in the seventh round, rising groggily as the referee deelar- ed Fernandez the winner. It was Fernandez's first appearance in an American ring, and his height and stocky shoulders made him look much stronger than the slender vete eran Goldstein.
