shire Iad has much mere power, and | Speaking of Sports Repregentatives of the Falcon and Kensington bascball teams met last night but came to no deflnite agreemient cencerning & game or a sevies of gumes between there re- apegtive ombinations. The differ- ences encountered were mere in the natyre of details that can eas- ily be irened out and it is confident- ly expected that they Wwill come to terms. Another meeting has been sched- uled for Menday when investiga~ tions now being carried on, will be finished and the fecling is that noth. ing will stand in the way of the representatives coming to a definite agreement. Two games to be played tomor- row might seriously upset the plans of these two managers and it is thought that the agreement has been held up pending the outcome of the contests. Kensington plays the Rangers in the final game of the series with that team while the Fal- cons meet the Burritts in the third clash in their private duel. Should the Rangers defeat Ken- sington, the Rangers will be the winner of that series. If the Bur- ritts defeat the Falcons, the Burritts will beb the favorite to cop the de- ciding game in the series. Tomor- row's contests are important for all the teams concerned. Whether defeats for both the Falcons and Kensington or one or the other of the two teams, will make any appreciable difference in their relations to each other, is problematical. We are inclined to believe that the two teams will play regardless of the outcome of to- morrow’s games. New Britain’s new football team, the Nutmegs, will pen up the sca- son on Sunday, September 23, ac- cording to a nannouncement today by Manager Henry “Zip"” Zehrer. The advisory ceuncil of the club has decided to play the first game at home and a game is in the works at the present time. Members of the council and play- ers on the tea mare against play- ing very many of the season's games away from home except where nec- essary. Of course, when the lesgue gets into action, the team will have to play where the games are sched- uled, Manager Willlam May of the New Britain Blues football team wishes to have it known that the William May who was arrested for hitting a hoy the other day, was not he but some other person of the same name. The scheduled game in Hartford today between the Cardinal Juniors, state champlons of the American Legion boys bascball league, and the team which represented Eddy- Glover post of this city, has been postponed indefinitely. JONES FAVORITE T0 BEAT PERKINS English Amateur Champion Meets Bobby in Finals Today Brae Burn Country Club, West Newton, Mass, Sept. 15 (UP)—A Tancastershire lad whose spectacles give him an expression of awlish good humor but whose eye for the straight path to the pin is as keen as any in golf, faced the monarch of the American links today in the first international ' final the ~American amateur champlonship has known in 17 years. T. Phillip Perkins, 23 year old amateur champion of Great Britain and Bobby Jones, American title holder, teed off at Brac Burn to de- termine whether the Atlantan was 10 win his fourth ttle in five years or whether the crown was to be car- ried overseas to the land where golfing crowns originated. The American champion was a to 1 favorite, but there was little tendency to underrate the ability of the young cotton broker who hus a great pair of golfing hands and nerves of stecl and whose progress through the tournament at Brae Burn has been quietly impressive. The matcir was at 36 holes, an undoubted advantage for Jones, who is playing these days as though he were unbeatable at the distance. The last time they met, Bobby beat the British champion, 13 up and 12 to ' play, the worst beating, in fact, that ever was administered in an inter- national match for the Walker cup. Bobby himself insisted that the result of that match at Wheaton last month should be thrown out, as the turf experts say, in calculating the chances of the competitors in taday's final. “I got the hreaks at the start of that match,” admitted Jones. It is Bob's theory that once a golfer gets a lead of four or five holes in a 36 hole match his op- ponent is at such a disadvantage that the margin may well be in- creased to tem or 15 holes without the comparative merit of the con- testants being accurately demon- strated. The man behind is con- stantly pressing to catch up and is forced to take all the chances. In his progress to the final round to bring an international aspect to today's match, “Tim" Perkins dis- posed of such excellent golfers as “Ducky” Yates, conqueror of George Von Elm, Johnny Dawson the Chi- cago shot maker and George Voight, the medalist, whom he beat in the gemi-finals 6 and 4. * The British champion is the first from overseas 1o reach the finals of an American amateur charmpionship since Harold Hilton's vear in 1911, when Hilten won the title in a 37 hole match with Fred Herreshoff at Apawamis. . Galt experts arc comparing Per- kins® game with that of Hilton. While lacking the delicate touch of the former champion the Lancaster- his roopveries from the rough go salling ptraight for the pin in & manner that is strengly reminiscent of the shots of Bobby Jones himself.

T0 OPEN UP IN RUSSIA New Fields to Be Established With Less Handicaps For Concession- naires Eliminated, Moscow, Sept. 15 P—New fields are 10 be opened for foreign capital in Russia and many handicaps un- der which concessionnaries have suf- fered will be eliminated. The soviet government in an- nouncing sweeping changes in its concessions policy said it was “to popularize forcign concessions and uttract foreign capital.” = The de- cision was reached by the council of people’s commissars after @ lengthy report from the main concessions committee. Permission to e rency will be facili sionnarics in the future. Payment of taxes will be simplified by making them payable in a lump ‘sum to one organization. Holders of conces- sions heretofore have found laws requiring payment of varipus taxes te diffcrent organizations irksome. Concessionnaries will be allowed to import raw materials free of duty for the construction of their plants if the materials are not available in Russia. In establishing their plants all capital must come from abroad in the first instance, but thereafter they will be permitted to utilise a part of their profits for further de- velopment. The ficlds named for special privi- leges include manufacture of ma- chinery. paper pulp. automobiles, artifictal silk and tanned leather. Other concessions will be avallable in the transportation, mining. elec- tricity. lumber, cotton, sugar, dairy- ing and building ficlds. The first successful attempt to grow rubher in the Tnited Ftates on a self-sustaining basis, is the pre- icct of the Intercontinental Rubber Co. NEW BRIALN DAILY. BERALD.

C. eleven. Man- ager Henry Zehrer is negotiating with a team for appearance here on that day. The team will hold afternoon pragtice .temorrow at 2 o'cleck. Thyrsday night a squad ef more than 30 candidates appeared and indications are that the team will be & strong one and an excellent contender for the state champion- ship when the new state league gets under way. The aquad will be put through their paces tomorrow afternoon. Each man will be required to be in uniform and all workwill be done under the direction of Coach Grat- ton O'Connell. * Lining up the team, it appears like the All-New Britain team of last year. For ends, there are Grat- ten O'Cennell, “Unk” Conley, Carl Brink and Charlie Kredar. Tackles will be Werwaiss, Conklin and Cronin. Guards will be the two old standbys, Humphreys and “Jumbo” Gnasdow while Steve (Buffalo) So- bieck will alternate with these tw “Red” O'Neil and Joe Rogers will | be at center, Buckley, of Meriden, for three years star of the Fordham Univer- sity team, will play at quarterback. | He is rated as one of the best to ever have worn a Fordham uniform and he will probably cinch the! position, The backfield can be chosen from a large aggregation of men such as “Pigeon” Conley, “Zip" Zehrer, Vic Radzevich, “Happy” Griswold, Or- lott, Bergin, “Turkey" Claire and “Silent John" Davis. Tom Leary, one of the best ends ever seen in this city, will probably | be with the team.

AT YANK.STADIUM Hundreds From This City Try Yainly to Get In Survival of the fittest This is an expression that is used cemmonly when speaking of the experiences which the founders of this eountry underwent years ago. However no ether words can so plainly explain the situation that existed at the Yankee stadium in New York last Sunday when more than 85,000 battled their way into the ball park to witness the classic Series of the year between the Yankees and the Athietics. Exactly 125,000 people stormed the gates in attempt to secure the pasteboards. Many people from this city left on the excursion train Sunday morn- ing. The train arrived in New York at 11 o'clock exactly, an hour after the gates had' been opened at the stadium. 1In side of one hour over 40,000 tickets had been disposed of and when the local people arrived at the park there remained about 100 bleacher seats. As the New Rritain fans hopped off the subways they noticed a long line, four dee that led to a window arked re- #erved seats. Three fourths of them Jjumped into thic line and met with Bale of tick- ets in the rescrved section had stopped and because of the large number in line, the police decided that it would cause too much con- fusion if they broke it up, “This line formed at 11 o'clock and two hours later it was still there. It was an amusing sight to see prominent doc- tors, lawyers and other business men mad looks in their eyes in a futile attempt to gain entrance to the field, < 50 Tickets for 500, A porty of seven young men from this city overheard a cop telling a lady that there were a few bleacher seats on sale on the other side ot the stadium. Starting on a mad sprint they dashed to the bleacher ticket offices und found 500 mad human beings struggling and tight- ing to get tickets. With only about 50 tickets left the local hoys' cause seemed lost. Iinally they decided to put their manners aside and walked up to the beginning of the line which was about ten deep. Sud- denly one of the boys called out a few wild plunge into the crowd. He hit the line with a bang and while the ate customers were attempting to drag him out the rest of the Britainites slipped into the line. Iron fences ran from the ticket box out for about 15 feet. People caught between these all but lost their lives. Pushing and kicking, utter- ing oaths and threats, the mad fans battled for tickets. One man from S \ \ | | schmeter Lnch “uborski Fistl ... K.

Others stood on the iron fence and jumped into the defenceless crowd in order to get in line. No regard was shown for lives or limbs. Although there were ten po- licemen at this spot they soen gave up the situatien as hopeless and it was soon each man for himself. Once inside a wild and half hysteri- cal peal of joy was heard here and there as some fan reglized that he was actually through the gate. Trapped in Mad Throng A New Britain party of two cou- ples had a harrowing afterneon in gaining entrance to the park. One of the men in the party battled his way to the ticket office te get seats. When he attempted to get out of the park again to get his wife and the other couple, he foynd a hu- man wall barring his way. After about 15 minutes he made his way out and as he turmed to lead his \lriendl into the park the large iron | door closed with a bang in his facc. ;Tlle tickets were all sold and the gates closed for the day. Imagine the dismay of the local party when they realized that they held tickets to the game but were unable to get in. Starting around the high stadi- um policeman after policeman, ser- geant and captains, were appealed to in an attempt to gain entrance. Each one shrugged his shoulder and ficer. After 20 minutes of frantic work, the New Britainites came up- on an offigjal, who after listening to the tales of woe and looking the tickets over, agreed to get them in. Fully three quarters of the local delegation that journeyed to New York to sce the game were unabl: /to gain entrance and were forced to £0 to Brooklyn to see the Dodgers !and Giants play. 85,000 Watch Game The spectacle inside the stadium was an awe inspicing sight. More {than $5,000 people, the population of New Britain wereTseated within one enclosure. Every tier was pack- ed, the bleachers were jammed, | aisles were filled with standees, and | every other poesible place of van- |tage in the park was covered with humanity. Viewing the crowd in the | grandstands from the bleachers, it !scemed as though three blankets | had been spread over the top of the |three tiers, so closely were the peo- | ple packed in. When the teams came on the field the roar of the | crowd was deafening and it seemed | that the noise could be heard all over the metropolis. Every good | play was the signal for a barrage of straw hats and attendants were :l\' Pt busy all afternoon clearing the field. Business men at the field reaped a harvest at the expense of the fans.

Cochet cintered the match without having played the 1e of which he is cap- able m the previous rounds. Shiclds entered the match with the greatest of his career to his credit over Brugnon. Fighting for the the top half were Francis T. Hunter. the New Rochelle veteran who won his way into the hearts of ten- nis devotees by his indomnitable spirit in this tournament, and George Lott, Jr., the Chicago boy.
