3 Speaking of Sports Play in the City league was tem- porarily suspended by common con- sent Saturday afternoon when the big airplane went over the park and broadcast music and cigaret adver- tising. When the motor was shut oft and the music became audible. players and fans alike turned their | gazes skyward, and from then on the crowd divided its attention between the noise in the sky and the noise of the Pirate and Burritt bats. | | Al Havlick is the latest City lea- guer to take to wearing glasses, and they seem to benefit him. He crack- ed out three terrific hits and was robbed of one by a fielder's luck on Saturday, and in the eighth inning he had the rather unusual distinc- tion of making two safe blows in the same frame. Al always had good Ritting form, even when he struck cut, and now that he is meeting the ball solidly almost all the time it is no surprise to find him up among leading hitters of the league. The Pirates suffered two minor | casualties in their game, both Beagle | and Begley being spiked by runners | sliding into their bases. ~Some trouble {s threatening in the | Junior City league, whe! veral of | the teams are talking of protesting | thefr games with the Phantoms. The use of Johnny Carrubba at second base is the cause for the protes but it is not known whether the other teams are claiming he is over age or are objecting to his being listed under the abbreviated namse of | ‘Carr.” The loss of their games fn which he played would put the Phantoms out of the running. Ugly rumors to the effect that Delaney, former light heavyweight champion, had been dissipating and | drinking heavily while he was sup- | posed to be in strict training for his | bout last week with Paolino Uzcu- | dun, received a great deal of sub-! stantiation through a printed in the Waterbury-Bridgeport Herald vesterday. sto Delaney is accused of having been | so drunk on a train going into New Haven a week before the fight that he had to ba taken off at New Haven althoueh was bound for New York until he could sober up While on the train, he hecame ! maudlin drunk and took a punch at a negro porter. The porter ducked and Delaney hurt his hand on a door. The injured member was treated at the first aid hospital in the New Haven Time after time, ugly rumors have been afloat that Delaney is prone to indulge to excess in the cup that | chears and although these heen vehemently denied, neverthe they have persisted Dlaney is probably one of those fellows to whom adulation means ruin. He has proved on more than one occasion to be one of the miost popular of fighters in the ring today bhut this popularity will not last very long it his fights aren’t any more | impressive that those he has had with Maloney and Paolino. loga Although he was awarded the bout against Paolino through a foul, the ending was very unsatisfactory to the majority of the fans who viewed it. This might not have any bearing on the fact that Delaney hitting the skids, but it certainly doesn’t help him any. Bridgeport is his home town and Delaney is anything but popular there. He is too wrapped up in himselt and his greatness to have very many close friends. His fail- ure to follow the lines of strict training have led his own towns- people to turn on him and they are not backwards at all in telling the world of Delaney’s faults, There is only one thing to predict in his case. He'll go the way of all the rest who picked the path of roses in preference to the hard and rocky thoroughfare of strict and | hard training. It may be possible that Pete Reil- lay, described as the only honest fight manager in the game, will be able to make his charge sce the light. We hope so because we have always thought that Delaney has a bright future before him. Not, however, through the stuff that pro- hibition has failed to prohibit. LEADS IN TOURNEY Miss Dorothy Page ©of Madison, Wisconsin, First in Field of 91 in Qualifying Round. Lake Geneva, Wis,, Aug. 15 (P— Miss Dorothy Page of Madison, Wisconein, champion of the Wom- en's Western Golf assoclation, led a fleld of 94 which started play in the qualifying round today. over the course of the Lake Geneva Country club. A new course record confronted the contestants, a 78 made last week in practice rounds by Mrs. O. Hill of Kansas City, who was runner-up last year to Miss Page. All the entrants spent the week- end in practice over the links, which they reported in excellent condition. The field is notable this year for promising youngsters, striving for the laurels of such veterans as Mrs, Dave Gautgof Memphis, Mrs. S. L Reinhardt of Dallas, the former Flaine Rosenthaf, and Mrs. ILee Mida, Mrs. Melvin Jones and Mrs. | J. W.

Walter Berg who achieved the goal of every baseball pitcher during the past week in Hartford by hurl- ing a no-hit, no-run game, occupied the mound again vesterday after- noon and he held the hard hitting Pexto agaregation to five hits, The Southington crew couldn’t de- liver the punch in the crises. Time lafter time runners would be on the | sacks but only in the fourth and fiith inning could the team drive in a run. At all other times, Berg was completely the master of the situ- ation. The Sox secured 15 hits off Mich- lgan who was masquerading under the name of Ahern. Michigan was hit freely in almost every inning and although his ficlders failed to give him tight support, they were worked hard in chasing the hard belts sent out into the lot. Huband and Huber were the belt- ing beauties for the winners, while Snyder, Soule, Blanchard and Berg also slapped out two hits.

The lat- ter stole second and both men scored when Wendrowski threw wild to the plate in an attempt to catch Cormier after he had fielded Basil's ground- er. Basil took second on the play. Anderson then injected a wild pitch, on which Basil went to third, from where he scored on Simon's error on Smithwick’s grounder. In the fourth the winners chased two more runs across the plate as the result of poor judgement on the part of Anderson. Campbell opened the inning with a single. Cormier bunted and when Anderson threw late to second both runners were safe. Arel followed with another bunt and Anderson | threw late to third, all runners be- ing safe. Successive singles by Plurin, F. Turner, and Simon gave the Rangers a run in the fifth, and in the sixth they counted one more on a hit by Wendrowski, his steals of second and third, and a hit by Anderson. In the sixth the winners scored one more when Smithwick singled, reached second on a passed ball, ad- vanced to third on an infield hit, and counted on an error. A double by Cormier, a triple by Arel, and an error accounted for two more scores for the West Ends in the seventh. The batting of Cormier and Arel, who accounted for seven of the win- ners 14 hits, featured the game.

C. tonight at the Hartford Velodrome as its weckly amateur hoxing show. The bout that stand out as prom- ising the highlight of the night the return bout between Lucien Larivlere of Waterbury and Joe Bard of Hartford. Bard and lariviere met here two weeks ago. Lariviere was out front when the disqualified himself in the first round by hitting Bard when the latter was on the floor. It was a gesture of over-anxiousness but the referee had no other alternative. Lucien predicts a win by a kayo Monday this time, but Bard, who is going at a great clip now, believes he can dispose of the shifty, d- hitting Waterburian. Joe How will not be box Monday night becan finger and of Waterbury, state champlon, will take Joe's place against Eddle Provost of Holyoke. Provost holds a decision over Lucien Lariviere and he also defrated Eddie O'Neil of Boston in a hout here. The card has two welterweight bouts of promise In one, “Pink Kaufman of this clty, state champion, will meet Rollo Roland of aWterbury, who Thursday defeated Vie Morley of aWterbury, and in the other Paul Teroa of Hart- ford will take on Harry Seeche of Lawrence, Mass. Another bout in welter division will find Leo Lariviere of the Brass City mixing with Morley. Mickey Roberts, Hartford's ag- gressive bantamweight, will have his hands full in taking on the shifty Robby Morrison of Waterbury. Mo rison beat Bic! two weeks ago and Mickey is gunning for revenge Other bouts that shape as attrac- tive ones are: able to 2 of a Kelly middleweight Mr. and Mprs.
