D206 CVLTSHOVILDOS Speaking of Sports Although things appear to be ther quiet concerning football at ks time there is a group holding regular work-outs in Willow Brook park several nights a week. Several who are carded for regu- lar places on the Red and Gold team next fall are practicing kicking and forward passing. Before he left for his home in Vermont, Coach George M. Cassidy left a football with the boys and told them to use it as much as pos- sible. There are two regulars left, Cap- tain Erikson and Fred Zehrer but four second string men are expected to connect with jebs this year. They are Louis Landino, Jimmy Scully, Ed Sowja who will probably be the team's punter, and Joe Vetrano. Bobby Jones says the English are the best losers he ever saw. Well, they've had plenty of practice. It's resonable to presume after all is said and done that Sharkey's friends think that Referes O'Sulli- van is a heel. Well, it seems good and we are glad to hear that the Chinese have ironed out their difficulties. While Coach Charley Miller and his assistant, Ken Saunders are on the sidelines giving them the once over, the Pirates will go through the paces in a practice session at Willow Brook park at 6:30 o'clock tomorrow evening. The Pirates are a mighty fine looking team and if the members settle down and work for every re- maining game on the schedule they should do a lot of damage. St. Mary’s Field should be pretty well crowded when the Falcons and Corbin Red Sox go at each other for the baseball championship of the city. The Falcons have had 2 good rec- ord this year and although they did not settle on a regular pitching staff until the latter part of the season, they continued to win games. Another All-New Britain game will te played in Willow Brook park to- morrow when the cops and the Gas- cos have it out. The cops are making every effort to be in condition to clean up this vear. Winning of both games in the series with the Meriden force is something that happens once every century, it appears. Each has split even in the games for several years. We remember the final game of two years ago which was played in this city. The New Britain cops had copped the first game and were in a fair way to take the second. but they did not figure that in their lineup was one who was to become the leading character in the most umazing upset of the season. Pete Cabelus, the third baseman, was having a tough day. It was one of those days when resolutions are made about “being through with the game for good,” etc. Finally the game ended and on the husky shoulders of Fete laid the full blame for the loss. At the banquet that time the Mer- iden manager gave the usual “line” and at the end gave the unusual in- vitation to visit the Meriden jail if they happen to be going through. He hoped that the New Britain team would continue the friendly compe- tition and that the baseball team would be back for the serics next year, but “if you do come for heaven's sake, bring Cabelus,”” he said.

Phone 2250 55 Franklin Street WINNIS FIGHTING FOR HAL GARLSON Insists Cabs Were Only Ones to Benelit by Trade Chicago, Aug. 17 (®—The trade which gave the Chicago Cubs their greatest single boost up the ladder to the top of the National league was up for review by Baseball Com- missioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis today. Stuffy McInnis, manager of the Phillies now claims he got the worst of the deal when he gave the Cubs Hal Carlson for Southpaw Tony Kaufmann and Shortstop Jim Coon- ey, with a large but unstated bundle of cash. Kaufmann, so McInnis claims, reported with a sore arm and Manager McCarthy of the Cubs knew Kaufmann's arm was out ot condi- tion. Since he joined the cubs the day after the trade, June &, Carlson has won nine games and lost two, and Manager McInnis and President Wil- liam F. Baker of the Phillies insist upon trading back. President Veeck of the Cubs, and Manager McCarthy pointed out the Cubs just before the trade as proot that Tony's arm was in pitch- ing shape. Since Carlson joined Chicago, he has had to call for relief but once, and that was in his second start, fac- ing the Giants. “We are just sitting tight,” said IMr. Veeck. “We do not see where there was anything wrong with the deal, and I do not think we should be called upon to turn Carlson back. Pitching his best for a team which is headed for the pennant and the world's series, I think I can speak for Carlson, too, that he doesn't want to return.” DEMPSEY 1 FIRST Krrives at Chicago Five Weeks in Advance of Bout sey today neared the scene of his | forthcoming effort to climb heavywelght championship heights.

NATION'S COUNSEL SEARCHING ABROAD Would Bring Back Missing in 0il Probe New York, Aug. 17 (A—Alte Pom- erene, former United States senator |from Ohio and counsel for ernment in the Sinclair-Fall conspir- acy trial, was bound for Europe to- day hopeful of effecting the return of two witnesses who have been sought since the start of the Teapol Dome investigation. Before sailing at midnight with Mrs, Pomerene, the former senator said the government probably would use a new lw, permitting United | States consuls to serve subpeonas in foreign countries, to summon H M. Blackmer, former chairman of the board of the Mid-West Refining company, and James E. O'Neil, for- mer president of the Prairie Oil and Gas company, back to the United States. Blackmer was last traced to Mon- aco and O'Neil was thought to be tn Czecho-Slovakia. Failure to obey summons, Mr. Pomerene said, make the witness liable to a $100,000 fine which may be collected by levy on the witnesses property in this country. The oil litigation already has been a highly remunerative undertaking for the government, Mr. Pomerene asserted. Between $6,000,000 and $7,000,000 has been received from the California naval reserve, former- ly held by the Doheny interests. He added $13,000,000 is vet to be paid for oil taken from the reserve dur- ing the Doheny tenan Dundee Sues to Collect For Pinkey Mitchell Go Milwaukee, Wis,, Aug. 17 (P)— Joe Dundee of Baltimore, welter- weight champion of the world, has filed suit in federal court to collect $10,000 which he says was guaran- teed him for his scheduled 10 round bout with Pinkey Mitchell Ilast Thursday. The Eagles club, which sponsored the fight, the Wisconsin Boxing club and the Wisconsin box- ing comrgission are named in the complaint.
