Buckley last Sunday afternoon worked out before a large erpwd of enthuslastic fans at Willow Brook park and he showed himself to be a marvel of speed. Buckley graduated from Fordham last June after four seasons of suc- cessful play behind the line. He usu- ally held down a position at half- back but last season he was switched to the quaterback post and he was a wonder there. He will take the place of Graham, last year's star, who will not be with the trew this scason. The Nutmeg A. C. will practice to- night at Willow Brook park. All members of the squad will be on hand as a stiff workout will be in the works in preparation for the opening game of the season Sunday with the Stonewalls of Holyoke. Manager Henry “Zip” Zehrer Is busy filling a schedule for the sea- son, He has already had negotiations with All-Bridgeport and the Mohi- cans of the Park City, with the Steamrollers in Providence and with other well-known teams about the ‘| state. His efforts will be devoted to signing up Connecticut teams for games here and on the road. The game Sunday afternoon will start promptly at 2:15 o'clock and a large crowd of fans is expected to turn out to watch the reorgan! eleven in action. 0 ~ HENRY GOCHET I HING OF TENNIS French Star Scores Hard Earned Victory Over Francis Hunter dorest Hills, N. .. €opt, 15 (P | Weuring the championships of hmhi the United States and France, Henri | Cochet, one-time ball boy on the courts of lyons, today was sitting | {on top of the tennis world. His hard-won victory over Francis T. Hunter yesterday in the finals for the American title rounded out a| |season’s record more impressive player can produce and gave little Henri a perfect claim to ranking as the number one player of the world. Not even his fellow “Muskcteers,” Rene Lacoste, who was given the first place rank last year, has matched the 1928 accomplishments of Cochet, champion of two of the three great tenmis playing nations, i:ro ofthe Davis cup challenge und, and vietor over Amcrica’s | first two ranking players, Bill Tilden and Frank Hunter. To score the latest in matched succession Cochet had to come against one of the diteh fighters in any In the final for the crown yesterday, Cochet dragged two of the first three sets, and then in the emergency produced a flash- ing brand of net play which enabled | this un- triumphs, from behind | greatest 1ast- line of sport. United Siates for the m: 3-6, 75, This contest left the French s preme. holders of @il the rational tennis laurels worth trying for. Besides the Davis cup, symbol of team supremacy. they now have the | singles championships of the United States, France and England. Cochet holds the first two of these and Lacoste the third.

After weeks of failure to get to- gether on the subject of a series of baseball games, the Kensington and Falcon managers met last night and came to an explicit agreement re- sarding the relations between their clubs. After a conrerenee. the two teams agreed to play a series of the best three out of five games.

The third game will be staged at St, Mary's fleld here while the fourth game will be played in Kensington. It a fifth game is necessary, the place where it will be played will be decided on the toss of a coin, Each team will be allowed to se- lect its Playing lineup from a roster of 16 names. It will be required that any player taking part in any of the contests between the tw will have played in at least one game with his respective club during the present season. The agreement reached last night will bring together the two most bitter diamond rivals in New Brit- The Falcons have been ace cused of trying to sidestep Kensing- ton but this was denied by the Ial. con manager, Johnny Cabay. Then Kensington offered to play the Fal- cons on any terms at all, even going 80 far as to say that the team in the south end would play the Fal- cons one game at any municipal park just to see which was the bet- ter outfit. Finally, the two managers together for a conference on subject. Where before there was nothing but wrangling, everything was harmony last week and last night.
