Speaking of Sports The Corbin Red Sox baseball team meets the Middletown Recreations at Willow Brook park in a Central league game next Sunday. This will be one of the toughest of the sea- son’s assignments for the locals as the Middletown contingent has un- dergone a reorganization. With many of the new men for- mer members of the Middletown State Hospital team, the down-river aggregation showed its power last Sunday by taking a fall out of the strong Southington Pextos, Manager John Tobin is unable to say what is the matter with his ball club. One fan who has seen the Red Sox in a good number of the zames played this year, says that the team isn’t taking its games seriously enough. On paper, the team appears very strong, but it isn't winning ball games. Manager Tobin stated today that he will have two new players sign- =d ‘up within the next day or two. The names of the two men are be- ing withheld for the present but the Red Sox pilot assures that they will be two good men. He is planning to bolster the team up and make a fi- nal drive for the pennant. The Central league board of man- agers met last evening in Meriden. The Middletown team which has been under discussion for some time, reported last night that it has straightened out most of its diffi- culties and it will retain its fran- chise. There was a round table discus- sion of the game forfeited by Col- linsville to the Meriden Insilcos last Sunday and the general consensus of opinion among the managers was that the contest should be played. It will be staged probably next Satur- day or at any rate in the near fu- ture. The Southington Pextos have bol- stered up their outfield and the three men who will cavort in the|7 far pastures, form one of the fast- st and most dangerous outfields in the Central league. Jimmy Alexan- der, former Eastern leaguer; George Owl, Indian and former Dartmouth star, and Ray Begley, the New Brit- ain veteran, will be the three regu- lars, The Southington team will play the Elm City Colored Giants in Southington next Sunday. The man- agement is going to try an arrange games with the All-Kenasington and Falcon baseball clubs. The managers of the Industrial Council track teams will meet to- night at the Y. M. C. A, to discuss plans for the annual Industrial Track and Field meet at Willow The meet is held early and more interest than ing shown in the games this year. The police board at a meeting last night voted to approve a home and home series of baseball games be- tween the New Britain and Meri- den police department teams. This is an annual air between the de- partments and this year will find eams than ever in the The dates for the games will be arranged between the two man- agers, Hardware Distributors Look for Busy Period New York, July 13—Distributors of hardware, reporting from leading market centers, predict a banner third quarter for the sale of hard- ware and related lines. Current daily volumes are ahead of records trom last year, Hardware Age will say tomorrow in its weekly hard- ware market summary. 1y or- ders on fall merchandise have been very light, which emph s the healthy condition of present hard- continue to have a consistent sale, with retail buying little ahead of wholesale require- ments. Staple lines are active in all marke Price changes are few and collectio generally show steady improvement. Crop reports are encouraging and employment is very stable. Car load- ings are fairly well maintained in the hardware business and the gen- cral prediction of a good quarter appears well founded.

July 13 (M — Once the most feared boxer in the heavy- weight division, Harry Wills, the Brown Panther of New Orleans, will try to turn back the years to- night in his 15 round fight with Paulino Uzcudun, Pyrenees Giant, at Ebbetts field. Wills is pitted against one of the strongest men in the boxing game. Uzcudun's ability to assimilate pun- ishment has been demonstrated and although he “throws” most of his punches he is a dangerous hurdle in the path of Wills' comeback at- tempt. After 17 years in the ring, Wills is a slight favorite. The Spanish woodchopper has been dropped, temporarily at least, from Tex Rickard's heavywelght program. After his beating last year by Jack Sharkey, Wills passed completely out of titular consideration. Wills has nothing to gain in victory, but Paulino can command respect in the event he beats the negro, even though Harry has gone back a long way. How Fighters Compare New York, July 13 (® — Harry ‘Wills will have a 15 pound weight advantage over Paulino Uzcudun when they meet at Ebbetts field tonight in a 15 round bout. The New Orleans negro also has two inches in reach and two inches in height on his Spanish rival.

Martinetti, Italian Sprinter, to Race Willie Fenn, Jr. Hartford, July 12—Avanti Martin- etti, the classy young Italian sprinter, who has been one of the outstanding sensational at all the European and American bicycle tracks the past year, will show the local bike fans just how good he is whan he stacks up against Willie Fenn, Jr., in their special match race at the Hartford Velodrome Thursday night. Desiring to make this one of the banner race meets of the year, Man- ager Cadwell secured Martinettj for a match race at this time as his American contract expires July 1 Martinetti is one of the very few bike riders who has been able to win immediately and consistently after joining the professional class ot riders. Last summer he won the am- ateur championship of tke world over in Europe and itmmediately turned professional and since then he has met and defeated all the ck sprinters both on the Euro- an and American tracks. of course he has met with an occa- ional defeat but his wins greatly outnumbered his defeats. Willie enn, Sr., formerly of Bris- tol, Conn., is about the only other bike rider ever able to duplicate | Martinetti's sensational performance -—Fenn, who was known as the “Boy Wonder,” won the amateur cham- pionship of America back in 1899 and immediately following rode ajor' Taylor, the great colored rider, a special match race at the old Albany avenue velodrome. Tay- lor won but said Fenn gave him the rdest battle of his career, in fact, f was only Taylor's “‘smariness” that enabled him to beat the Bristol boy. Willie Ferr, Jr., who 1s a hot fa- vorite with the local bike fans, is sure to test Martinettt to his limit, and it won't surprise the hike racing experts at New York and Newark, where these boys have been com- peting in all the big sprint races, if Fenn glves Martinetti a tiimming. Willie, Jr.,, has the speed and strength to beat the Italian star just as his “Daddy” had the ecge on Ma- jor Taylor, so Thursday night's great match race between these two boys (vach is 22 years of age) is very likely to be won by the rider who can “out smart" the other. An exceptionally fine program of races will give the local bike fans the best treat of the season. Rene Boogman, “The Flying Dutchman,” who is keeping Holland on the map as regards bicycle racing, will likely rule the favorite in the motor-paced raee which will be raced in four ten- mile heats. Boogman by 1'is brilliant riding and willingness (0 tattle any and all the riders in his last race at the Velodrome track, made a host of admirers and many of them will root for him to beat Victor Hopkins, the present American champion; Dan Pichione, the speedy Italian star, and Blonde-haired “Bebby” Wal- thour, Jr., when they meet in the feature motor-paced race Thursday night. A strong supporting card of amateur and professional races are being arranged. Tasillo's band will give a concert before and during the races. ! inches NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 1927.

Maybe it was the recollection of the steady growth of the circuit, the thought of mil- lions of dollars that had been paid into the box offices by American fans. More likely, it was the knowl- edge that he had accomplished what | he set out to accomplish—"make baseball the greatest professional | sport in America.” “I can’t help but feel many ways I have helped Ithfl'." he said | And yet, though he feels that {baseball now s established, he sounded a warning as he worked at his filing cabinets, clearing the way for his unnamed successor. “Roth leagues face a danger now. They may grow too cocksure and forget there are interests constantly at work to make baseball a hippo- drome rather than a sport. “I've heard rumblings for some time of a third league. I wouldn't be surprised to one started within two vears. That's why the majors should not lose their respect or lessen their efforts that to in! do {for the fan, | to keep the game a game.

ZUROR IGNORES ORDER ON BLOCK FILM SALES Edict Against His Company's Sales Policies Affects Others As ‘Well, He Argues New York, July 13 (A—Adolph Zukor, president of the Paramount- Famous Players-Lasky corporation, fn a statement made pullic today declared no change in the company’s sales policy is contemplated despite the federal trade commission’s or- der that it cease what i{s known as the “block booking” of films. Mr. Zukor asserted this sales plan, by which exhibitors purchase a number of pictures as a unit, is not peculiar to his company but is al- most universal in the film indust “It will thus be seen,” he id, “that the commission’s order, {f su- stained by the courts, will present a question which will have to be dealt with not alone by the Para- mount company, but by the entire motion picture industry.” “Block booking” of flims results in a saving to the exhibitors, declar- ed Mr. Zukor, who pointed out that the purchasing of pictures by units does not prevent exhibitors from purchasing pictures singly. The av- erage advance of single purchases over the unit price is about 25 per cent, he sald. scheduled. The league started play last Monday afternoon with the | Paradise Park team beating the Boys' club and the Willow Brook team taking a victory from the Bur- ritts. This afternoon at 3 o'clock at Walnut Hill park Washington will meet Smith in one game while the Y. C. C. A. and Nathan Hale teams will come to grips in the other con- test scheduled. | Al four teams have been practic- |ing hard for the opening games and [there will be plenty of fight when they clash.
