;Speaking of Sports Eddia Ziegler, former Falcon and Kensington star who has been play- ingigreat. baseball with the Pextos of. Southington this month, will be ‘out of the game for about a month ‘on acoount of a serious strain he suffered recently. His physician ordered him to in- dulge in no violent exercise for that period and stated that if he obeyed, he.would ‘be able to play again. ,Troubles come in bunches. Yes- terday ' morning while he was near his dog, a small poedle at his home, the dog became entagled in a tie line. When Ziegler went to loose him; the dog.snapped at him and in- fileted a deep gash in the palm of his hand. ‘This in itself would have kept him trom baseball. :The Stanley Works, Stanley Rule & Level baseball teams engaged in o.real bik league baseball game at Walnut Hil park last night. The Stanley Works won, only after the hardest kind of a battle that went into the tenth inning. . Both teams fought hard for the gyme and the largest crowd of spec- tators of the year was on hand to view the clash. Every fan in the park well rewarded for the in- terest shown in the game as it was by far the best and most exciting of the entire season. Several injuries resulted during the game, none of them having last- ing or serious results. tier was knocked out when he and Jorvis, both diving toward each other other ,collided. Pelletier re- celved Jervis' knees in the stomach and he was stretched out on the ground. He was revived and finished the game. Paul Snyder got a right cross on the jaw that put him out in a real kayo. He bunted and was tearing for first when the ball was thrown wide of the bag. Jack Argosy made a stab for the ball and as he did, Snyder collided with his forearm. He passed first, turned around and then started to wobble. He went out ‘on the ground but after getting fanned, he again got his bearings. | He scored the winning run for Stan- ley Works. It was a great game field with exciting and intense moments. the score keeper to whom the In- dustrial league games have become just another ball game, it was in- tensely exciting. So much so, in fact,"that two or three times during the game, he found himself biting his fingernails.

Manager John Tobin’s team since that game has apparently found ft- self and he predicts that the tables will be turned in the battle tomor- row. He has strengthened the club in several spots and the team has been winning consistently of late and the players will do their utmost to upset Collinsville tomorrow after- noon. 1 “Lefty” Reeves will probably es- say to turn back the Red Sox while Walter Berg, husky right hander, will probably draw the assignment for mound duty for the Sox.

DEMPSEY PICKS SITE FIR GANP Will Train for Tunney Bout 25 Miles From Chicago Los Angeles, Aug. 5 (P—Jack Dempsey will train for his, fight with Gene Tunney at Chicago, September 22, within twenty-five miles of that city, he announced today. The former heavyweight cham- pion said that although it was at first proposed that he open a camp at Battle Creek, Mich., he refused to approve this plan, partly because newspapermen and others who would wish to travel between his and Tunney's headquarters would lose too much time in covering the 150 miles to Chlcago. He announced he had telegraphed his business manager, Leo P. Flynn, to obtain a suitable site near.Chi- cago. 7 Although the fmproved condition of his wife, Estelle Taylor, will per- mit her leaving for Chicago with him, Aug. 15, Dempsey, said neither she nor Mrs. Floyd Fitzsimmons, who will accompany her, will see the championship fight. They will re- main in Chicago throughout Demp- sey's training period. Dempsey's daily work-out here consists of alternate mornings of road work and golf. Every other day he works out in the private gymnasiui of a film studio. HIGH PRESSURE TLL TRKE THIS TOR TRUCK, fLEASE & P lvos and the Meriden Insilcos clash. | Sunday.
