Speaking of Sports _Jack Sharkey, Boston heavyweight contender, has resumed his training for a drive to prove that he is en- titled to succeed to the heavyweight throne lately abdicated by Gene ‘Tunney. For 10 days Sharkey rough- ed in the mountains of New Hamp- shire and he covered from 10 to 25 miles & day in his hunting trips. i« Following this, he stepped into Kelley & Hayes' gymnasium and after a series of hard workouts, has decided that he is once again, fit and ready. The ligament which he pull- in his leg last August, is back in place and as strong as ever. Sharkey's first start will'be in Boston the latter part of this month. His opponent has not yet been se- lected but will be named within a week. Jack was under contract to box in the Hub city when he met with his accident and he is anxious to carry through the contract. Johnny Buckley, Sharkey's mana- ger, is making no secret of the fact that he is pointing his charge to another meeting with Jack Dempsey. Buckley held several conferences with Dempsey when he was in Bos- ton with his-show recently and he is eonvinced that Dempsey will again be seen in the ring. “If I fight next year, I am willing that Sharkey be my opponent”, Dempsey is quoted as saying. “T consider Jack the best of the heavy- weight contenders. He is the only one of the lot who has any class. I rate Paulino next to Sharkey. Strib- ling and Hansen string along after Spaniard. I wouldn't be intereested in boxing unless I though I could get into another million dollar house. Sharkey is the only heavyweight in sight who would draw that much money with me”. *I won't make any definite de- cision regarding a comeback for some time. Meanwhile 1 advise Sharkey to keep touring the coun- try. He will lick all comers, I am sure of it. Then, by next summer, it I decide to fight again, Jack and I would do quite a business at the box office. We would also give the fans a real fight. There wasn't any- thing slow about our last affair.” After his bout in Boston, Sharkey plans to step into New York to meet Risko, Paulino or any other out- standing heavyweight. Sharkey hus never dodged a leading challenger as his record proves. Now that he has a chance to prove that he is in the class with the best heavyweights, he intends to keep more active than ever. A fight a month is his present plan. Manager Henry Zehrer of the Nut- meg foothall team received definite announcement from the railroad of- ficials last night that the excursion to New York planned for Sunday, has been cancelled. No excursion train will be run and the team will make the'trip to Stapleton via regu- lar train service. This eliminates any chances of New Britain fans making the trip at cut rates. 10 ALLOW READERS 10 WRITE EDITORIALS Boston Paper Will Conduct Forum Instead of Editorial Page Starting Monday Boston, Nov. 1 (UP)—Readers of the Boston Traveler will write that newspaper's editorials starting Mon- day. This revolutionary step, calling for the substitution of a “People's Forum™ for the conventional edi- torial, was announced today. “It is a day of forums," the pa- per said “Intelligent people of widely-differing views and view- points are seeking expression on public platforms and in the press. ‘Through honest discussion people are arriving at better understand- ings, great tolerance and approxi- mate unity in many matters regard- ing which the disagreements once seemed hopeless. “The Boston Traveler has from time to time tried out the forum| idea in its columns, and has found the response amazing. The announcement explained that the Traveler in recent weeks had been conducting a political forum, and among the thousands of letters received were many urging the pa- per to make its forum a permanent institution. “After mature deliberation and with full realization of the radical nature of the step about to be taken,” the paper said, “The Tra- veler has decided to heed this call of the people and to render the pu- lic service which is so clearly de- manded, “This does not mean that the ‘Traveler will hereafter not be heard from editorially. Whenever the oc- casion warrants, the Traveler will speak. But for the most part—the people who read this mnewspaper will 4o the talking.” Mrs. Adams Exhausted After Zeppelin Trip Friedrichshafen, Germany, Nov. 1 UP—Mrs. Clara Adams of Tanners- ville, Pa., the only woman aboard the Graf Zeppelin arrived so ex- hausted that upon her disembarking from the airship, United States Con- sul John F. Kehl came to her aid. “You must have breakfast im- mediately or you'll faint” he in- sisted. Mrs. Adams had just remarked in reference to her unique experience. “It is nothing to be proud of. for I travelled as comfortably as was to be expected. But now I'm so ex- hausted.” ANOTHER SHAKEUP Philadelphia, Nov. 1 (UP)—In the last practice before leaving for Chicago, Coach Lou Young gave the Pennsylvania team another Shakeup and selectted an entirely new backfleld composed of Wilmer at quarter, Gentle and Mastern at Baifbacks and Opekum at follback. ’ WITH THE BOWLERS ROGERS AILEYS J.

HALL WILL ADDRESS WOMEN YOTERS' LEAGUE Montally Sick and Deficient to Be |- Discussed at Annual Con- vention Nov. 15 Commissioner Edward F. Hall of the board of control and finance will outline to the~ Connecticut League of Women Voters a proposed state policy for the education and care of the mentally sick and the mentally deficient when he speaks at its eighth annual convention in New London. He will be the only speaker at a dinner November 15, the wecond day of the convention. Following his speech there will be general discussion of the proposals. Bince the end of the 1927 session of the legislature as the head of the commission which is charged with the supervision of the spend- ing of Connecticut'’s money, Com- missioner Hall has been in close touch with state institutions.

ZEPPELIN EARNED |BASKETBALL TEAM WILL - PRACTICE NEXT SUNDAY ABOLT $363000 Uncerfain What Part of This Is Profit New York, Nov. 1 (M—The rev- enue earped by the Graf Zeppelin on her round trip from Germany was estimated today at $343,000. What part of this is profit is un- certain. Dr. Hugo Eckener estimat- ed the &penses for the round trip would be §$100,000 but repairs to the damaged fin undoubtedly raised this considerably. The. estimate of revenue is based on the assumption that 18 of the passengers on the trip to the United States and 20 of the 24 passengers on the return voyage paid the full fare of $3,000. B8ince Dr. Eckener estimated the revenue before the start at approximately $100,000 it is assumed that several of the passen- gers who traveled in more or less official capacities did not pay the full rate. $3,000 Each Taking the figure of 38 passengers, at $3.000 each, the total fare would be $114,000. Bail and express brought from Germany added $70, 000 more. FKreight carried on the return voyage paid $1,705, while the revenue from the 54 sacks of mail was $75,713.50. A large part of the revenue came from the sale of ex- [elusive rights for publication of stories from the ship, an American syndicate paying $67,400 for this privilege and two German news- papers $15,600. The mail carried on the return voyage included 49,745 letters and 51,938 postcards, the most valuable mail cargo in point'of postage ever handled by air, Not First Stowaway Clarence Terhude, the excess bag- gage on the Zeppelin's flight, is not the first aerial transatlantic stow- away. The British R-34, first dirig- ible to cross the Atlantic, carried two stowaways, a man and a cat. That was in 1919. The man was William W. Ballan- tyne, a rigger of the British navy who had been scheduled to make the flight and then was dropped from the crew a day or so before the start because of the need to reduce weight. H crept on board an hour before the takeoff, hiding between the gas compartments astern. The fumes made him sick and he had to report himself a few hours out. At about the same time Wopsey, a Scottish cat, showed up, apparently much annoyed at the noise of the engines. Ballantyne was shipped back on a hoat and although he expected to be courtmartialed and imprisoned, he was given only & lecture and trans- | ferred to other duties. Puaen;ers Praise German Zeppelin Friedrichshafen, Germany, Nov. 1 (M — The American passengers aboard the Graf Zeppelin today paid eloquent tribute to the voyage of the airship and said they would not have missed it for anything. Hans Nolde, of Reading, Pa.; Donald Castro, of Columbus, Ohio; Paul Marko, of Brooklyn and Joseph Jessel of New York said that they were 80 excited last night that they sat up and played cards. Cham- pagne was served. One of the thrills of the journey the men said, was flying over Dijon, France, the lights of the city being visible despite the elevation at whi¢h the airship was then flying. STARS TO CLASH New York, Nov. 1 (UP)—Sopho- more stars will be pitted against each other in the West Virginia- Fordham game here election day.

Borah of Idaho to deliver at Boston an eleventh hour appeal to its electorate to sup- port the presidential candidacy of Herbert Hoover. After delivering a speech here last night in behalt of the republican candidate before a wildly enthusias- tic audience which filled the 15,000 seat capaclty of the Fifth Regiment armory, the Idaho senator departed this morning for the Bay State capi- tal where he will speak tomorrow night. Mr. Borah will arrive at Boston tonight and will confer then and during the day, tomorrow, with a number of Massachusetts republi- can leaders on the political situation. Probably the largest crowd and the most vociferous reception of his campaign tour greeted the senator in his speech here. The demonstra. tion ovér his appearance ranged from a 15 minute outburst of ap- plause before his address to boos and hissing from all sections of the armory wWhenever he mentioned the namesg of Governor Smith, Benator Joe T. Robinson, the democratic vice presidential nominee, John J. Raskob, the democratic national committee chairman and Tammany Hall. The senator's speech covered most of the issyes of the campaign and he injected a new declaration that if Hoovsr were elected president “we are to see a new era of peaceful ne- gotiations” in the gettlement of con- troversies between the United States and the Central American nations. Draws Applause On his assaults on the prohibi. tion, immigration and tarift posi. tions of Governor 8mith and on Tammany hall, the senator, how- ever, drew his loudest applause.
