Navy Day Is Being- Observed Generally Washington, Oct. 27 (M—This is Navy Day, observed annually throughout the American naval es- tablishments on the birthday of Theodore Roosevelt. N Through gubernatorial proclama- tions and the cooperation of the Navy league of the United States appropriate exercises were planned for every state in the Union. These included speeches by high ranking officers of the navy and the opening of naval bases and war craft to visi- tors. Secretary Wilbur is making an address at Providence, R. I, on the needs of the navy, and is sending by radio his greetings , to those taking part in the ceremonies at home and on board merchant craft and war- ships in distant waters. The Ameri- can Radio Rclay League is co- operating. Boston and Maine Has Falling Off in Income Boston, Oct. 27 (UP)—The Bos- ton and Maine railroad in Septem- ber earned a net income of $655,018, which compares with $714,304 in the same month of 1927, according to a report made public today. With a decrease in freight rev- enues of $136,078 and in passenger revenues of $119,311, total operating revenues showed a falling oft of $296,056. Operating expg@ises showed a de- crease, as against September, 1927, of $166,911, with increases In maintenance of way expenses, large- ly due to the Boston and Mainc's heavy improvement program, more than offset by decreases in mainte- | nance of equipment and of trans- portation.

WITH THE BOWLERS Zisk Truslow Football, Golf and Baseball in |27 e s Fred Barratt, giant center of the Ohlo State foothall team, is listed officlally as weighing 236 pounds but he does not look it—he seems to be much heavier. Even from the comtortuble and commodious press box perched high at Ohie Stadium, Barratt looks as though might weigh nearer 35¢ than 236¢ pounds. And with all his‘weight he will not lag far behind any of the 22 men on the fleld at a given time in get- ting down on punts. In the Michigan-Ohio State gamne the big center did much of the tackling and once he struck the Michigan safety man so hard on' a kick that the ball went high into the air and bounded 15 yards down the field where the agile Barratt, up and away after flattening the Wolverine, fell on it. Barratt, whose home is at Lan- aing, Mich., is a sophomore and has his best football before him, Before he calls it a day at the Buckeye university, he should improve to the point of ranking with the great cen- ters of all time at any weight. He may train down to the 236 the pro- gram says he weighs but if he con- tinues to carry the poundage he boasts now he will not be a better player any lighter. Barratt is not only “fast for a big man,” he is fast for any model. Anxiety for Managers E With two managerial changes made in major league baseball long before snow flies, the other pilots may be wondering it their necks*will meet the axe about the time the Thanksgiving turkey is made ready for the table. Bucky Harris merely | moved from Washington to Detroit to make room for Walter Johnson and George Moriarty, the former Tiger leader, has nothing to worry about. If he does not land another manager's post he can always um- pire, Miller Huggins, Connie Mack, Roger Peckinpaugh, Dan Howley and Bill Carrigan are regarded as fixtures but Russell Blackburn, al- though he did well with the Chicago White Sox when placed in tempor- ary command, has not yet scen his place made permanent. In the National lecague John Me- Graw, Joe McCarthy, Burt Shotten, Donie Bush and Jack Hendricks will be bacle Talk of dissatisfaction with Bill McKechnie persist at 8t. Louis where talk is heard ot Frank Sny- der or Bill Southworth, managers of 8t. Louis chain stores in Houston and Rochester, being promoted to the big time, If Rogers Hornsby is traded by the Braves to the Cubs he can not manage Boston, and President-Man- ager Wilbert Robinson is said to be thinking of retiring from the bench to the office. “Uncle Robbie” said some time ago that it the dual role of business executive and manager on the ficld befame too much of a burden he would get another presi- dent, but now he is reported as in a receptive mood to step aside and let his mantle fall on the shoulders of Max Carey. About Holes Tn One It ambitious golfers are tired try- ing in vain to make holes in one, they might get in touch with Fred Butler, a caddy at the Fountain Head Country Club, Hagerstown, Md. He made three in two weeka. The caddies are permitted to play every Baturday morning and for three Saturdays in a row he was down from the tee. His first came at the 16th hole, 128 yards, September 15, The sec- ond was September 22 and the third September 29, both at the 183 yard 13th. ‘Telling his own story Fred admits that one was luck. *The first and third were good shots,” he says, “but the second hit a rock, going on the green and rolling in the cup.” The hole in one expert, who is a great booster for James Donnachle, the professional at the Fountain iead club, is a junior at the Hag- erstown High school and has played golf only about one vear. He has never had a golf lesson, FIGHTS LAST NIGHT By the United Prems.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1928, BATTALIND WINS " COLIRLESS BOUT Hartford Italian Bests Sombathy —Zotter Loses; Thomas Wins The Bat Battalino-Jules Sombathy bout, which featured a rather weak in Hartford last night, was a disap- pointment. Neither of the two bat- tlers showed much form, the Bridge- port boy going into clinches too often even to suit the most blase boxing fan, while the Bat himself was un- impressive and falled to land any- thing that looked like a “sleeper.” ‘The Bat got the decision after ten | slow rounds which were featured in the most part with & display of foot- work, clinches and little leading. The best battle of the evening was a six round bout between Mickey Roberts and Brownie Tucker. It looked like a draw, but Referee George Proto gave the decislon to Roberts and it was evident that he was influenced in his_decision by Tucker's stalling in many instances of the melee. It was a slashing, punch for punch affair and it looked | like Roberts had only two of the six rounds. There was some fast work here and there and the fight kept the crowd, on edge until the | final bell was sounded. The worst fight of the evening was the six-round windup between Joe | Zotter of this city and Zeke Masur of Hartford. Both assumed boxing poscs for the most part and neither felt inclined to lead. Zotter did most of the leading in the early rounds, as much as there was of it, and land. ed a few clean punches, but falled to follow up on his opponent. In the | fifth Mazur got the better of Zotter | and a succession of body and head punches sent Zotter for a count of nine. The last round was spiced with some fast work and the decision went to Mazer. Joey Flynn of Hartford won a four round decision over Steve Shubert of | Bridgeport. In the fourth Shubert | found himself on the floor, com. | pletely dazed from a vicious right to the jaw after putting up a wonder- ful battle for three rounds, and the ci | referce was counting him out at the | bell. He had to be supported to his | corner., | Johnny Barra of this city was| outpointed in a four rounder | by Eddie Reed. Kid Thomas, another New Britainite knocked out Herman | ink of Hartford in the first round | of a scheduled four-rounder, the refcrec stopping the bout to save the Hartford lad from unnecessary pune ishment.
