MARINE BAND {340 Fok 400 BLEACEERS TICKET SCALPERS * HEREIN OCTOBER Wl-Be Bronght Here by New Bitain Exchange Club At a special meeting of the board of control of the Exchange club held last evening following the reg- ular weekly meeting, voted to spon- sor a concert by the U. 8. Marine band in this city on Sunday, Octo- ber 23, at the Strand theater. The bid for the date was offered by & representative of the govern- ment, A. Louts Pabst, who explained | the arrangement necessary. After a discussion. it was voted that the of- fer be accepted. The proceeds will g0 towards charity, President Charles Law stated. Tuesday, August 2, is the date set for the annual Sunshine special which will be promoted by the Ex- change club. The event, which is a national Exchange movement, pro- vides for an outing and field day for members of the Children's Home. Russell S. Gold, chairman of the general committee, is com- pleting arrangements and reports considerable progress. Last year's event included a par- ade through the city, games and races at Lake Compounce, Southing- ton, a band concert and entertain- ment with the picnic lunch. It is thought that this year's Sunshine Special will be on the same lines as last year's event. Exchangite Clement Mortensen of Cromwell, addressing the club, out- lined for the benefti of the members present, the story of flower raising. Stating that flower raising was probably one of the most unique kinds of businesses, Mortensen out- lined the growth of the large con- cern from the tirst efforts of A. M. Plerson who graduated from gard- ener to owning his own small green- houses until the present day when the company employes approximate- Iy 500 persons and has an output of miilions of roses a month. “During the war” the speaker stated, “The government issued an edict which turned all the green- houses into plg farms. Pigs died easlly under glass, the experiment not turning out successfully. Then came the influenza epidemic and the government, seeing that the absence of flowers in the homes of the be- reaved had a noticeable affect on the morale of the country at large, withdrew the edict and the green- houses were . allowed to continue operations. “] am often asked if the hail ' storms have ever proved damaging ‘to our greenhouses. In our 54 years of activities, the firm has never been visited by a hall storm. In this part of the country have I heard of hail proving - disastrous to a florist, the occasion being the wiping out of a million dollar concern in Providence within the short space of half an hour.” Mr. Mortensen quoted figures ex- plaining the activities of the Pierson greenhouses, Approximately one million square feet of glass is used to. shelter the flowers. A farm own- ed by the greenhouses contains over 600 acres of ground, maintain- ed principally for the supply of old s0d which is used in the greenhouses. About one-quarter of the planting area of the greenhouses is changed each year and five acres of old sod is needed to supply the plants be- ing raised. “The wholesaler naturally real- izes a small profit on the blossoms while the retaller has to obtain a larger margin on his stock,” he said. “I hope to see the day when flow- ers, through more popular purchas- ing by the consumer, will be cheap- er and more abundant. It can only be accomplished by the popular ac- ceptance of flower buying by the average man in the street. I think that you people who paid seventy- five cents for a carnation on Moth- er's Day got soaked—that was high- way robbery. But the natural need for large profits o fthe retail florist will be lessened by the popular de- mand of flowers which would re- act in a quick turnover.” The speaker was introduced Arthur Benson. by ON POLICE BLOTTER Walter Verrier of 226 Whiting street reported to the police last night that a boy who said his name was John Larson of Booth strect was riding a bicycle on the sidewalk on Whiting street annd ran into Mrs. Verrier and her two children, injur- ing the former. ) Isidore Kabula of 111 Tawlor strest reported the loss of his bicycle in front of the New Britain Market on Main street.

BROWNE United Press Staff Correspondent. (Copyright 1927, by United Press.) Cleveland, 0., July 20 (UP)—May I add my “if” to the deluge already given to the confused, but thorough- ly aroused, fight fans who will wit- ness or hear broadcasted the great non-championship bout between Jack Dempsey and Jack Sharkey? There are a few little details which the experts have overlooked. What about the effect of the gallery on Dempsey o1 Sharkey? To begin with, I believe the gal- lery will be for Dempsey. It will be much to the gallery, or should I call it mob, or crowd, in fighting lan- guage, which was against Dempsey at the Tunney-Dempsey fight, The gallery being with Dempsey should pep him up and make of him a more dangerous contender. But how wil the same gallery ef- fect Sharkey? It cannot depress him. It pulled for Maloney against Sharkey and it just seemed to make him mad and eager to show how he could fight. The fact of the mat- ter is, Sharkey appears better with the gallery against him than with him. For once a gallery's jeers will not crush a fighter's spirit. The jcrowd can puil for Dempsey and make him good and can pull against Sharkey and make him better. Yet, caprice and fickleness is ever the way of fans. Before this bout is over the fans may take this con- tident, conceited fighter Sharkey to their hearts and proclaim him the greatest living example of the new “ego” which is being rapidly devel- oped in all lines of endeavor. The scientists will say he won because he believed in himself—because he held the picture of winning ever be- fore him. Or, if he is defeated his attitude will be termed one of dis- gusting conceit and over confidence. The slight margin between win- ning and losing is apparently what determines the merit of thought and actions. Prestige is another psychological angle. It has always been a great asset in any sport and rests with the champion. In this particular fight, Jack Dempsey 1is no longer champlon, nor even a fighter who puts fear of defeat into his oppon- ents when he steps into the ring. Gene Tunney blew up that bubble. It means that Dempsey no longer has the advantage of a trembling opponent to “sock” right off the reel. Suzanne Lenglen, the great French tennis player, seems to have her opponents beaten before they start, so great is her prestige. If she could be defeated a time or two the bug-a-hoo would vanish and her opponents would not start under such a handicap. The famous Dempsey “wallop™ reminds me of another famous “walop” which is losing ground, William T. Tilden's cannon ball service. Dempsey took terrific punish- ment to get In close enough to land a knockout blow on Tunney. At the same time Tunney was outpointing him for the decision. Jack Demp- sey's blows landed on Tunney's hands and arms, which defended more vital part William T. Tilden in his final match against Rene Lacoste in the French tennis championship staked all on his cannon ball service to put over the winning point. Tilden land- ed the “sock” in bounds, but L. coste’s racket was there to return it. Tilden's final attempt was wide of the mark. The difference between Dempsey and Tilden, however, is that Tilden has an all around game to fall back on, while Dempsey admits the knock out blow is all he has. 1t is tough to discover your gr apon as ineffective as in wrecking a stone wall. De- has improved so much that it seems to be a matter of digging un- der, flying over, or “end runs” rather than breaking through the barrier. The big boys have disappe the football lines—gene brains are winning ove 'in all branches of athletics. est W balls' o1 Marjorie Morrill Moves Ahead in Tournament t Hampton, N.

'F. Boynton, treasurer of the | Madison Square Garden Corpora- tion, testitied before U. S. Commis- stoner G. W. Cotton today. Boynton was the first witness in the U. §. attorney’s investigation of fight ticket speculation. He has charge of ticket sales. He testiried that there are §3,000 seats In the Yankee Stadium for the tight. Thus far $760,000 cash has been received for tickets and $15,000 additional in notes from members of the Madison Square Garden Corpor- ation who are permitted to buy choice seats and pay for them at their convenience. U. §. Attorney Tuttle, opening the | hearing, sald he believed that with- in the last 24 hours the law requir- | ing the sale price of every ticket | s0ld be printed upon it, had been | violated by ticket brokers. “If this hearing brings out evi- dence of violations I will bring charges and prosecute, demanding jail sentences for those convicted,” he said. Boynton produced a table show- ing the seat arrangements for the fight. Referring to it, he sald the seats totalled 83,000, fo which the first 64 rows or approximately 17,- 000 seats were priced at $27.50; the next 14 rows at $22.50; and the next 10 rows at $11. The remainder were cheaper. When the seat sale began, he sald, blocks of tickets were given to ticket brokers on consignment, they having the right to return un- sold tickets and the promoters to call tickets in if deemed advisable. “It was necessary to have the as- sistance of agencles because of the magnitud> of the undertaking,” he explained. It is our Intention to call in all unsold tickets this afternoon. Brok- ers will either have to return the tickets or sell them.” Tt was explained that in ticket selling circles such notice was call- od “telling them to sell 'em or eat ‘em.” b Boynton admitted that bonuses were acceptable from purchasers of tickets. He said he had accepted them and there were 40 or 50 clerks at the Madison Square box office and he did not doubt that they accepted bonuses. “If someone gives me a dollar, T give him a good ticket” he said. “If some one gives me a couple of cigars, I give him a good ticket. If someone gives me a bottle of Scotch | T give him four or five good seats.” “I'm interested in money not in Scotch,” said the U. attorney. “Scofch is worth money,” said Boyuton. “Good Scotch is,” prosccutor. Roynton produced a list of 17 agencies in New York and several in other cities which had received tickets on consignment. They in- cluded Bob Dennis, Philadelphia; J. M. Chapman, Newark; Sam Molfe, Chicago: Alexander Peterson, Boston; Charles Murray, Buffalo; Townsend, Detroit. He emphasized that most of these tickets were to have been sold nt box office prices, with no advance. “For instance, you can bet all the tea in China that Chapman at New- ark sold the tickets at face value only,” he said. A report of the Internal revenue collector at Boston was read saying tickets had been sent in escrow to the National Shawmut bank of Bos- ton, for sale there by Peterson and that 451 of the $11 tickets had been 1 5o0ld by Peterson for prices ranging from $11 fo $25.50. Peterson was arrested on a charge of failing to mark the sale prices on the backs of the tickets he sold. Boynton concluded his testimony | With a declaration that the Madison Square officials made every effort to keep “free lance” speculators from getting tickets for the Maloney De- {laney fight a few months ago. There 1\\'.’\5 much talk of ticket speculation in connection with that fight. “We are taking the_same precau- tions this time,” he said. K. C. Kress, clerk at the Jacobs ket Agency, New York, one of the largest dealers in fight and opera tickets, said that before March 1 1s far as he knew no tickets sold by his agency for more returned the [ were | than |value.

Her beauty of former days faded, she has grown uncommunicative and uns sociable, but the attorney's petition declared a friend will guarantee that Mrs. Pope, now 70 years old, will not become a state charge. 30,000 MORE CARS (Continued from First Page) on December 31, 1926. An interesting fact is that there is approximately one car for every five and a half persons in Connecti cut. Last year the ratio was ap- proximately one car for every six people. The increase in registrations will be this year, it is estimated, about five per cent, as compared with four and a half per cent last year, Percentage of Fatalities The statistics further show that the percentage of decrease in per- sons Killed in 1926, automobile acci- per cent. The percentage gain, however, in persons injured in 1926 over 1925 is 18 per cent. The amount of prop- erty damage in 1926 showed an in. 1925 were as follows: Convictions, 20 per cent; suspen- slons, four per cent; complaints, 24 per cent; registrations per accident, 11.3; general accidents seven per ceént.

It was the battle for tickets around the offices of the Madison | Bauare Garden corporation. Hundreds besieged the ticket win- dows, begging. for tickets and being told that all the good seats were gone. They tried to wheedle, begged, de- manded to see Tex Rickard and used | every ruse they could and left with | either tickets calling for seats, far back in the stands or none at all. At ticket brokers offices the scenes were much the same, but oft- len the results were better, albeit {more expensive. While an investigation of ticket | speculation was in progress in fed- | eral court, the speculators were do- all indications. The New York Telegram said one | ticket sales found plenty available from speculators’ from $5 to $100 | each for $27.50 seats. | In addition to the public demand | for seats, there were 400 newspaper- { men from out of town arriving dur- | ing the day, all to be furnished with press seats, To the layman today’s weather was not reassuring, being humid though not as warm as a few days ago.
