This agreement stipulates that the boxing contests will be conducted in the Htanley Arena throughout the season. There is little possibility smateur fight tournaments will be conducted here during the coming year. Amateurism has become a thing of the past. With the sus- pension of the Conneoticut A. A. U., officlally, at least, there are no more amateur fighters. Dick Gray in New Haven has been operating amateur tourna- ments In the Elm City spert from unprecedented success. It may be that seme of these tournaments will be staged here during the coming year. Amateur fights have been popular in this city since their inception and s ve- tyra to the spert would be Ro mis- take, —_— The Nutmeg A. C. Football team will play the All-New Haven team here Sunday. The local manage- ment, following the cancellation of the game with All-Bridgeport last Bunday, attempted to have Bridge- port come here this mext Sunday list in the schedule. This could not be arranged so New Haven will furnish the opposi- tien for the locals mext Sunday. Preparations for the world series games bave been completed at the Herald. The playograph has been erected and everything is in readi- ness for the opening game on Thursday. At first, it was planned to have the first game played on Wednesday, but this fell through. — The New Britaln High school football team wij) meet what s probably the toughest team on its schedule Saturdsy when it plays the Pittatield, Mass, High achool team in that city.

The Dittstield touchdown came after an 80-yard Tun by Hulligan, backfield man, —_— New Britain received its first test of the season last Saturday and its play was successtul. Coach George Cassidy hasn't been any too hopeful about his squad. He bas confined himself to saying that he has a likely bunch of candidates and he would rather wait until after next Saturday before he decides whether the team is good, bad or indiffer- ent. ¥ The Travelers' Sho Co. football eleven of Hartford is on the verge of a break-up. The players express themselves as being sore because last Sunday’s game was not played. Hobson, who defeated New Britain last season, now is threatening to form a team of his own. 1t s suspected in certain quarters that there is someone behind Hob- son in this latest move and there appears on the horizon, & football war in Hartford. CONSERVATIVES BARELY ESCAPE A BEATING Lose Sevemtesm Seats In Nova Scotis Election To Liberal Opposition. Halifax, N. 8, Oct. 2 P—The eonsefvative government, headed by Premier E. N. Rhodes, which in 1925 came into power with a margin of 37 seats narrowly escaped defeat in yesterday's provincial elections. The conservatives won only 23 of the 43 contested seats, losing seventeen to the liberal opposition headed by William Chisholm. The standing of the parties at the time of dissolution was conservatives 87, liberals 3, with three seats won by the conservatives in 1925 vacant. The standing today was conserva- tives 23, liberals 20. Premier Khodes, himselt, won by only a nar- row margain in his home county, Hants. Four conservative ministers went down to defeat. They are J. A. Valker, minister of natural re- sources, J. F. Cahan, assistant min- tster of highways and B. A. LeBlanc, and Dr. W. N. Rehfuss,’ ministers without portfolis. The lomes suffered by his party were blamed by Premier Rhodes on the over-confidence of himself and party, the revision of the voters lists, which he said had cut off the names Of enough conservatives to influence the election in several constituencies, and the failure of the voters to realize the benefits which would ultimately come to them through the progreasive policies which he had in:tiated. The voters expected too great and immediate results from his administration, he said. The conservatives’' victory in 1935 put them in power for the first time in a quarter of a century. Wesley’s Oxford Rooms Restored by Americans Oxford, England, Oct. 2.—(MP— Rooms occupled by John Wesley, | founder of Methodism, when he was 8 fellow of Lincoin college. Oxford, are now open to the public after having been restored by a committee of American Methodists. The rooms | were opened by W. O. Hamiiton, of Boston, Mass, who carried out the | restoration.

Those disastrqus sevens on the tenth hole of the Five Farms course of the Baltimore Country. club over which the tourney is being played, cost him a chance for the medal or at least for runner-up honors in the $6-hole qualifying round, which opened the six-day competition yes- terday. s it turned out, the medal went to Al Espinosa, gally plumaged and self confident golfer from the Illi- nols Country club with & brilliant 142, but given par fours on his two tries at that bad tenth, Sir Walter might have saved six strokes and given Al a run for his money. The weight of those sorrowful sevens, however, shoved the Haig’s total up to 150 and a tie with two others for fourth place. Edging in ahead for second and third medal honors were Tommy Ar- mour, the lanky Scot who held the national open championship before Johnny Farrell won it this year, and Gene Baragen the traditional rival of Hagen for this particular crown. Bhooting steady golf over what many of the pros called about the toughest course they ever played, Armour turned in a 146 and Sarazen & 149. None of these three did worse than a five on Hagen's jinx hole and they had no trouble doing it in par. Hagen now finds himself in the lower half of the match play draw, where most of the strength is con- gregated. His immediate opponent today is Willie Ogg. who played around in the threesome with him yesterday but who is given only the slimmest of chances of stopping the Haig. The champion should not find the going rough in the second round either, but after that he had his work cut for him with such players as Leo Diegel, Al Watrous, Sarazen, Bill Mehlhorn and Armour, in the same half of the draw. Espinosa, who meets Johnny Golden today, is outstanding in the top half, ng with Jock Hutchi- son and Willie MacFarlane. Virtually none of the country's most noted pros failed to win places among the 32 qualifiers, but one young man who shot wonderful golf despite the lack of an ultra-famous name was deprived of a place in the charmed circle because of a techni- cality. James Thompson, youthful pro froma Knoxville, Tenn., wound up with a 151, but was disqualified be- cause of a lost ball. When the ball disappeared he hunted a couple of minutes, then went back to the tee and drove again. On the way down the fairway he found the original ball and played it. On the ground that he should have continued with the second ball, the P. G. A. executive barred him after a heated conference. Grape Juice Shipments Are Temporarily Barred San Francisco, Oct. 2 P—A state- wide shutdown on shipments of all varieties of grape juice, beginning yesterday and remaining in effect until Oct. 8, was ordered today by the executive committes of the clearing house of the California Vineyardisti sociation. The ruling will not affect shippers who have confirmed F. O. B. orders for shipment during that period. The stagnant market in New York, where there is an accumulation of cars Joaded with California julce grapes, was the reason given for the action. CAR FATALLY INJURES DOG A dog owned by Mrs. Colton D. Noble of 18 Lexington street was struck by an automobile driven by Max Belkin of 60 Hilicrest avenue, in front of 382 West Main street yesterday, and injured so badly Motorcycle Officer Clarence Kumm shot 1t. Mrs. Noble witneased the in- cident and gave the officer permis- sion to end the dog's suffering. She said Belkin was in no way to blame, as the dog ran directly in front of the car.

Marriage licenses issued at the municipal building total 3,500 leas than in the same period last year. A rvecent law limits the marriages of rainers. 4 Lenden—The life of an hutomobile with King Gesrge is four years. He has just bougbt & mew one, his fifth in two decadea. New York—The time seems to be coeming when one out of ten persons in the U. 8 A. will be old, that is mere than 6§ years of age. Due to declining birth rate, restricted immi- gration and improvements in fight- ing disease, the proportion of old people in the population is changing constantly. This was pointed out to the New York Academy of Medicine by Dr. Leuis 1. Dublin, London—Two brothers of Viscount | Grey have been killed hunting big game in Africa. In 1911 George was killed by a lion, recently injuries in- flicted by a buffalo proved fatal to Charles. Los Angeles—Filmdom seems to fascinate British notables. Prince George was a recent visitor. The latest is Austen Chamberlain, enter- tained by Doug Fairbanks, et al. Houston—R. K. Howell, refinery superintendent, was listening to Dixie ball series returns over the radio.

New Haven—Accidental discharge NEW ENGLANDERS T0 HEAR TARIFE Hoover Planning to Discuss | It Soon Washington, Oct. 2.—{UP—Tarift is to form the keynote of Herbert Hoover's address in industrial New England the latter part of this month. He now is gathering the ma- terial for this as well as for the | other speeches he is to make in the east and the west before his final appeal to the voters over the radio from his Califernia home on election eve, November 5. Business conditions and interna- tional trade will form themes in the New York city speech on the night of October 13, but the republican presidential candidate had not yet definitely decided on the topic of his seventh major address to be deliver- ed in some western cities during his journey to Btanford university where | he will cast his ballot. Changing Policy With & succession of speeches crowding upon him in a fairly limited space of time, Hoover is changing his policy about preparing them well in advance. His Elizabeth- ton, Tenn., speech of next Baturday is being shortened and will not be ready for advance distribution until Thursday. At the same time Hoover is mak- ing ready the text of the address which he is to deliver to the veter- ans at the Johnson City soldiers home on the same day and this talk will be much longer than was at first expected it would be. It prob- ably will deal with matters of vet- erans’ relief and kindred subjects. Takes up Time While work on these addresses is taking up much of the nominee's time he also {8 devoting considerable of it to detalls of the conduct of the campaign in the states which gener- ally have been listed as doubtful and also to the situation in the southern states. On his engagement list to- day was C. Bascom Elemp, national committeeman for Virginia. This state has been separated from those of the old south in which Horace A.

Slemp is optimistic about the outlook there and particularly about the strength he claims has develop- ed for the republican candidate among the women. Undoubtedly the recent letter which was sent out over the signa- ture of Mrs. Willie W. Caldwell, na- tional committeewoman for Vire ginia, calling on the women to save the country from being “Romanized" will form one subject matter for discussion - between Hoover and Slemp. Scarcely had Hoover finished repudiating that letter before anoth- er incident of the same kind crop- ped up in another southern state. This was the action of Oliver D. Street, republican national commit. teeman and state chairman for Ala- bama, in eending out a pamphlet en- titled “Governor Smith’'s Member- ship in the Catholic Church and Its Proper Place in the Campaign.” Hoover has taken no action respect- ing the circulation of this document as Chairman Work of the republi- can committee had sent a telegram of protest to Street before the mat- ter was called to the attention of the candidate. Stands on Statement On Hoover's behalf, however, it was stated at his headquarters that he stood squarely on his statement of last Saturday that he wanted no support on the basis of religion. The candidate has stated and reiterated that the religious question is not an issue in this campaign. Mrs. Baker Gets WELL,w How Do Nod S LIKe -THE FIRST oF MV Alew!

Street, na- tional committeeman for Alabama, in which he expressed disapproval of Street's imsuance of a circular at- tackieg Governor Alfred E. Smith, deprocratic nominee, because of his membership in the Roman Catholic church. Denies Getting Wire The telegram was not made public until after Chairman Work had been informed that Street had been quot- ed as denying that he had received such a message from the republican national chairman. Previously Chairman Work had said that he sent a telegram to Street condemn. ing the drigsing Into the political campaign ot the religious issue, 'ut he refused to e the communica- tion public at that time. Street, in addition to being national commit- teeman for his state is also state republican campaign chairman. Receives Circular Chairman Work in his telegram said he had received a circular, sup- posedly written by Street and having as its pubject: “"Governor Smith's membership in the Roman Catholic church and its proper place s an issue in the campaign.”_ The republican national chairman declared that he “regretted cxceed- ingly" that the religious issue should be dragged into the campaign and called Street's attention to a letter written by Chairman Work to all national committeemen which said: “The campaign policy we propose to follow will be informative and constructive only. The promptings of the conscience and personal liber- ty within the law are not proper subjects for political debate.” Chairman Work also expresscd the belief that “you will observe the suggestion In future.” e Nod WILL SQUANDER —s EGAD, -THe eTERMAL FEMININE , v THINK oF NoTHiING BUT CLoTHES ! ~ BAd !
