et Ve THE BOWLERS [TUINES STNTOON TCORBIN SCREW QUINTET OUT OF TITLE TOURNEY New Britain Industrial League Champions Bow to Conde Nast Team in Second Game of Series, 23 to| 16—Stamford Crew Took Long End in Both Games —Locals Appeared to Be in Continuous Slump— Opposition Starts Spurt That Brings Victory. Speaking of Sports “The king is dead, long live the king” may well be adapted to this column today following the an- nouncement by Manager John Tobin of the Corbin Red Sox that his teamn would open the coming sea- son against the Socony team of New London a week from Sunday. Bas- Ketball has reigned supreme up to the present time, but with the balmy weather of spring, the king dies and baseball, king of the summer months, comes to take its place, New Britain will probably see a busier baseball season this year than ever and that's saying a great deal. Already the Falcons have started organizing although no active work has been started. e Seneca A. C. and the Pawnees have taken steps to organize teams. The Red Sox | open the season in another week and many other quintets are ready for a busy year. = The Industrial Baseball league is in the process of formation follow- ing a meeting of those interested in the project and seven teams will be entered. The City league will get | underway in a few weeks and the scason will be on in full swing be- fore we know it. Tonight's amateur fight tourna- ment will be the last under the old regime, Om April 15, next Monday, the new code of boxing rules put into force by State Athletic Com- missioner Thomas E. Donohue, will go into effect. The rounds will be shortened from three to two min- utes. the matches will be made by the draw system and other changes have been made, all of which will put strict supervision over the game. Whether amateur fights will be continued in this city or not re- mains to be seen. Following Com- missioner Donohue's edict that there [ Fahm weren't enough amateurs in the | state to fill the bills for so many | boxing shows, it is possible that| many of the present so-called ama- teurs, will be forced to turn pro- fessional. Billy Reeves of Bristol, known in the ring as the Bearcat, fights his last amateur fight tonight when he | battles Johnny Clinch. Next weck he plans to turn professional. He will have a tough battle o his hands tonight in meeting Clinc! because the local boy has some pood | boxing ability that should puzzle the Bristol boy and make him open up. Reeves intends to slash right into Clinch and knock him out, if pos- sible. i Billy wants to win tonight so that he will leave the simon-pures with a record of wins that will certainly make an impression on the pro fight promoters.

THINKS STANFORD WILL WIN AGAIN No Eastern Team Can Win New York, April 12 UP—Take it straight from Emil Von Elling, coach of New York University's in- door inter-collegiate track and field team, not an castern outfit has a chance to check the drive of Stan- ford for another outdoor title next month at Philadelphia. The canny little mentor, whose runners sprang a big surprise by gaining the board floor supremacy is no Gil Dobie, but he entertains no illusions about the chances of stopping Stanford's great armay. of ficld talent luminaries. "No,” he said emphatically, “there e hope of adding the outdoor I. C. A. A. A. A. champion- ship. Stanford has almost the same team it brought east last year and should be fully as strong. “We may be better in the running events. Stanford never has done much in them, a little in the hurdles is about all, but with men like Krenz, Rothert and King they haven't had to.” They are modest here at N. Y. U. and quick 1o tell you that the indoor championship victory, the first in the institution’s history, came partly because the Violet and athletes are at their best on the boards. “There is Sol Furth, for instance,” pointesd out Von Elling. “He was a big scorer for us indoors but he cannot go the longer outdoor route over the hurdles at the same speed.” Although the impression given is that the Violet will be much weaker | partly made up for this by the ad- vent of a trio of Chick Meehan's football men. all of them heavy. fast and husky. “I have the whole center of the line,” Von Elling said with a grin. Schneider, the center, throws the dis and puts the shot. Sargis- son, a guard, is a good shot putter. and Dave Myers, the fast striding Negro, who has a running guard as- signment, may turn out to be a point winner in the shorter runs as well as in the ficld events in which he dabbles in everything from pole Incidentally the football talent that flattened everything last fall except Georgetown and the amazing Oregon Aggie team, is bolstering still other squads in the off season While the heart of the line is out Four of the backs are on the baseball squad.

NAMING BOXING CZAR Former Heavywelght Cham C ton Be- lieves missioner Would Straighten Out Game Chicago, April 12 Dempsey, promoter, is advocating a *boxing czar.” “What boxing needs to save it upon that gem of the American book world—Edgar Allan Poc's first | slender collection of verse. There will be $20,000 or more in it for the lucky bibliophile who adds one more volume to the six known copies of America’s rarest and most valuable first editiion. That $20.000 will represent an increase in value something like 8,000,000 per cent over first known resale price of the book, a shilling, that amount having placed the first | discovered copy in the British | museum. Interest in Poe's first production, “Tamerlane and Other Poems, by a Bostonian,” has been revived by | the recent acquisition by J. K. Lilly, Jr., of Indianapolis of a newly dis- covered sixth copy of the work. For this slender hooklet of only 40 pages Lily paid a Iioston book- seller more than § This set a high price for “Tamerlane” and also a top price for an American first edition. Lily is vice president | of Eli Lilly & company. In 1925 the fifth copy, then re- cently discovered, was sold to Owen D. Young of New York for approxi- mately $15,000. Of the other four copies, one is in the British muscum, another is | in the Henry E. Huntington library and museum at San Gabriel, Cal., the third is in the library of Frank B. Bemis of Boston, and the fourth in the collection of W. A. Clark of New York and California. At least one of these copies was| reported to have been picked up in a bookslleer's bin of “plugs” for a few cents. The copy in the British museum was sent by Henry Stephens of Vermont many years ago. He probably did not know its value, or even that it was a work of Poe's, as the author's name is not on the title page. Stephens received a shilling for the book. “Tamerlane” was printed in Bos- ton in 1827 by Calvin F. . Thomas. Poe was 18 at the time. The edi- tion was believed to have been not more than 40 or 50 copies. Two went to reviewers, and Poe likely purchased a few, The bulk of the edition probably remained on the printer's hands. Poe afterward said the edition “was suppressed for private reasons.” 1,000 Red Agitators Executed in China China, April 12 (#— 0,000, Canton, cal agitators are estimated to have been executed by machine guns dur- ing the padt week in a campaign by the Canton authorities to stamp out radicalism here.

In the first quarter the Conde Nast team began a streak which gave it mnine points. During this period New Britain scored only three, a field goal by Arburr, 30 seconds after the game started, and a fourth goal by Luke eight minutes later. A complete reversal of form was shown in the second quarter when the Screw Shop defense held its - vals scoreless while the offense ov. came the lead and established a 10 to 9 advantage at half time. Just when things started to look rosy the Stanford five started an- other of its famous spurts and gain- ed the advantage needed to win the game. During this period four of the Greenwich team contributid | freely to the score and when th period ended it was 21 to 12 i favor of the home team.
