S T ke I TR s G i e ot ol e P . Speaking of Sports There isn't any doubt but that Louis (Kid) Kaplan's manager is arranging a busy schedule in his at~ tempt to climb back among the cone tenders for the lightweight title, An- niuncement is made today that he is signed to meet Phil McGraw, De- troit battler, at White City in Savin Rock on June 11. He fights this Wweek in New Haven, Frankie O'Brien, Hartford south. paw, meets Al Mello in the East Hartford Velodrome Monday night. Thia will be the opening battle of the outdoor season in the Capital City and it should be a battle by all accounts, Q"Brien has been working out steadily at Kaplan's training quar- ters in Meriden and he is fast ap- proaching his best fighting condition, Mello will be one of the toughest opponents he has met in recent fights and will prove a real test for the Capital City mittster, New Britain is evidently a very peaceful community because therg is & dearth of boxers here. Amateurs are hard in training for an expected outdoor season but until it pleases their highnesses at the head of the National A. A, U. to pay a little at- tention to this sovercign commen- Wwealth of Connecticut, there won't be much doing. More strongly than cier come the rcports and rumors that Connecti- cut amatcur fight promoters are planning to conduct tournaments in- dependently of the National A. A. U. If this takes place, there will be no one to blame but the high ang mighty officials who have paid scant attention to this state cxcept to oyst it from all good standing in ama- teur circles. We have said before and we re- peat that there isn't a state any- Where where the same conditions exist as were discovered in Connec- ticut. All that is needed, is an in- vestigation such as was propelled in this state. New York, home of Murray Hurlburt, leading figure in the nationul body, couldn’t, we don’t beleve, stand the daylight of a cearching investigation any more than Connecticut. As one fan explained to us par. ticularly the other day *“All this amateur stuff in sports s the old hologna™ and we doult it there is any one who doesn't agree with him, We ar. in favor of the amateur promoters signing up their fighters as professionals under the domina~ tion of fitate Athletic Commissioner Thomas Donohue. There would be no camouflage then and no need for any. The same popular priced shows could be conducted as former- ly with little more cost to the pro. moters and under the state regula- ions, it is highly probable that there v'onld be no dofficulty for either the { or the promoters in getting fights, In that way, fighters could be de. veloped who some day might be counted among the best. DRIVERS LINE UP FOR SPEED TESTS Twenty-Eight Automobile Pilots Ready lor Indianapolis Classlc Indianapolis, Ind., May 29 (UP)— Twenty-eight racing drivers wers ready to line up on the huge brick track here for the motor world's premier sport classic tomorrowe the 500 mile Indianapolis speedway Tace. Noon today was the deadline for Qualificrs, officials of the A. A. A. contest committee said. Throughout the trials there has been a rapidly growing belief that tomorrow’s race will aset a new speed record. Leon Duray, who made the faat. est time ever recorded on the bowl by circling it at a 124-mile-an-hour pace last Saturday, will have the No, 1 position, and is the ruling favorite. Duray, veteran of many previous races on this track, will drive one of Harry Miller's front-drive speeial. The Miller and the Boyle teams, by virtue of their faat speed in the Qualifying laps, will have the favor- ed positiona in the race. The former team will include, be- sides Duray, the popular Cliff Ber. gere, who will hold third position; 8tapp and Hepburn, who are start- ing in the second row: Moore, in the third row, and Meyer, Batten and Lits. On the Boyle team will be Fred Comer, in the third row, Arnold and Evans, Fred Duesenberg, one of the coun- try's best known racing car design- ers and manufacturers, will be represented by L. L. Corum, Dutch Bauman and a third man, Gleason. ——— ONE FOR THE G. O. P, Lancaster, Pa., May 29—Fifteen years ago a woman evaded paying her fare on the Conestoga Traction Company here.

HAGEN WITHDRAWS FROM GOLF EVENT American Being Severely Criti- cized for Sudden Action Newcastle, Northern Ireland, May 29.—(A—Walter Hagen, who was criticized by the British prese two years ago for what was regarded as unsportsmanlike conduct, is the center of a similar storm in Ireland. Hagen suddenly withdrew from the Irish open golf championship, starting today. He explained that he was too tired because of his con- tinental tour to compete, Some golf- ers, sceing an outstanding contender eliminated, rejoiced, but the golfing union of Ireland fumed. Alan Kidd, secretary of the union, charged that Hagen had broken falth and violated an agreement to play in the Irish open provided an exhibition match was arranged for him 4n Dublin last Saturday. The ex- hibition match was arranged and Hagen playing with 1. Quinn, Dublin professional, lost to two Irish profes- sionals, W. Nolan and W. Holley. Hagen, in telegraphing his with- drawal, proposcd to contribute his share of the proceeds of the match to any Iriah charity the committee might name, The committee how. ever, decided mnot to accept the money because it considered his ac- tion unsportsmanlike. “Hagen not only has injured his name as a sportsman here, byt in- directly has hurt the good name of all Americans,” Xidd eaid. “Hagen seems to forget that he net only represents himself but his country as well when he comes abroad. When he makes an arrangement to appear in the Irish open championship and all detalls are made, including the draw with a partner for him, and then cancels his entry, we resent it.” HAWAII WANTS ROYAL GUEST FOR SUMMER —_— At Least One Such Celebrity 1s Desired for Its 150th Anniversary Celcbration. tomorrow Honolulu, May 29 — The territory of Hawaii wants at least one royal personage to be present at the 150th anniversary celebration of its discov- ery by Captain James Cook.

Farm Relief Will Go Before Convention Chicago, May 29 (®—From two sqgrces today came announcements that supporters of farm relief legis- lation woula carry their fight to the republican national convention at Kansas City next month. In Chicago, M. J. Tobin, who was Keynoter at the Iowa state republi- can convention, issued a statement that 14 agricultural states have or- ganized a committec to present their plea for farm aid to the national convention. i At 8t.
