Speaking of Sports The Falcons and Kensington re- Ppresentatives will meet tonight to diacuss a game or a series of gamnes betwgep the two teams. This meet. ing Nas come after weeks of wrag- #sling and challenging on the part of the two managers. The Nutmeg Football team was scheduled to practice last night. Managpr Henry Zehrer hus recelved the applications of two ncw play- crs from Torrington, Grady, a guard and Dowd, an end. “Big Boy” Conk- lin of Ansonia, member of last year's team, is all het up about the coming season. He is ready to play. The team will hold a workout in uniform Sunday afternoon at 2:3v oclock at Willow Brook park., All of the candidates will be out at that time to go through a stiff practice session. It is uncertain just at the pres- ent time whether the team will op- en up at Willow Brook park a week from Sunday or take a game on the road. Many favor opening up on the road because of the baseball games still being played here. From pres- ent indications, it appears that the team will shape up nearly as good as did the team of last year. Bristol is a new entry in the state league circles and Bridgeport With a team named the Mohawks, coach- ed by Ed Tickey, formerly with the New Britain aggregation, is also seeking admission into the circuit. Plans are progressing rapidly ‘o- wards the formation of the cjreuit and it is expected that by the time the real football season is here, a circuit of at least eight teams will have been formed. Harold Gray is some bowling rooter and he certainly has an ex- cellent gift for chatter. Joe Gacek howls the best game of anybody in the town—that is, with his feet. Uncle Joe Foote s that he may be old but he can still show the boys & few tricks in the bowling line, Our guess is that Joe is ab- solutely right. Baseball is fast fading out of the picture. Kootball will soon be here. Then starts roller "hockey and bas- ketball and all the winter spoits that were so popular last season. At the same time comes the snow und ice, the cold, chilly breezes, the carly morning arlsings. Boy, we'd lik to apend our winters in Florida. 1,0, 0.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1928, THO CHAMPIONS IN SEMI-FINALS Bobby Jones and Phil Perkins Meet Title Aspirants Today Newton, Mass., Sept. 14 (P—At the semi-final stage today, the list of national amateur golt champion- «hip survivors was made of two champions and two who would like to be. Bobby Jones, reigning mon- arch of amateur golf in the United States, who has won all the champ- ionships he has tried for except the British amateur, and Phil Perkins, | Lolder of the British amateur cup | were the champions. George Voight and Phillips Finlay have their titles to win. The final four in the champion- ship brought together star golfers from far and near, athletes of ply contrasting types. Jones has ta, Ga., than all the chambers of commerce Th the city history.

The Bra course might have been made for him. The two long holes, the fifth and 14th, each more than 550 yards, can not be reached by the longest hitter in two so he does not have to “break his back” trying to get home with drive and brassie. Finlay, one of golf's longest hit- ters, did not beat the St. Paul star with his driving. long though 1t was, but showed a spectacular abil- ity to get out of trouble that saved him. The match between Jones and Finlay involved a clash of master and student. Phil spent his et easter vac; ta playing Close observers suggested that the collegian’s long tee shots might not prove of great value against Jones as the champion woul have the dif- ference concealed in his long sec- onds, The Perkins-Voight set-to was ex- pected 1o develop into a battle of irons. The British and American stars have shown themselves mas- ters of the approach shots as neces- ary to successful coring at Brae Burn. Perkins is not the Perkins who was defeated 13 and 12 by Jones in the Walker Cup play, He #ays 80 himself. “If T am fortunate enough to play Bobby again,” he said, “He will not beat me 13 and 12" After his play in this chumplionship there was no disposition to dispute the prediction.
