of Sports Ahnouncement yesterday that the New Britain-Hartford high baseball teams would not clash this after- noon as per schedule, was disap- pointing to the baseball fans of this city who like thé inter-city rivalry that these contests have developed. However, Hartford and New Brit- ain rivalry will be brought out in the New Britain-8t. Thomas sem- inary game in Hartford Saturday afternoon. In the list of winners and the standings in the Boys' Club Federa- tion Annual Indoor Athletic compe- tition in which 67 clubs participat- ed, Art Pilz, director of the Meriden Boys' club, but a resident of this city, has made one of the best gains over last year. In the 1928 list, the Meriden team stood 17 in the liats, but in the rating just issued, the 8il- ver City aggregation has risen to seventh, a jump of 10 places. New Britain fell down a peg in this year's rating. Last year the local Boys' club representatives landed in the 11th place but this year the crew has been rated in 12th place. This is a creditable showing. First place was awarded to the Jewish People’'s Institute of Chi- cago. Becond place went to the American Boys' Commonwealth of Chicago, while the Passaic, N. J., Boya' club landed in third. New Ha- ven Boys' club was awarded fourth place, putting Connecticut well among the leaders in the final rating. The competition in this contest’is international and open to Boys' work organizations affiliated with the Boys' Club Federation. The con- testants are entered according to weight into four classes, 80 pounds, 95 pounds, 110 pounds and 125 pounds. The winning organization receives a trophy, a specially designed shield in which is etched the picture of the winning team. Also embosaed on the shield are the names of the boys. Certificates are awarded to the clubs taking second, third, fourth and fifth places in the competition. The competition is fostered by the committee on physical program, un- der the banner “Every Boy in the Game,” rather than featuring of in- dividual stars, to stimulate indi- vidual and club competition within the member clubs and to promote as a national ideal “Sports for Sports- manship Buke.” QLE OA E COPYRIGHT 029 BY NBA SERVICE WG BY VERNE WICKHAM Stand away from the pin at all times when holding it for the rest of your foursome! Remember that the average play on a golf course is about 300 golf- ers per day. That's 600 feet, which, if every one holds the pin the wrong way, as the fat friend on the left is doing, trample the gram down around the hole until it is bumpy. The three-foot circle around the cup is almost sanctified ground. It is the section of the green pro- nounced the smoothest by the cup- + setter on his early morning rounds and it should stay that way, giving all fai--hit putts a chance to drop. As the ball nears the cup and the momentum {s dying out, it is most susceptibla to bumps and irregu- larities on the putting service, Don’t add to those bumps by stand- ing on the very lip of the cup when you're holding the flag. The player whose ball is nearest the cup, or the caddy, usually takes the pin for run-up putts. After the balls are close to the hole, the pin should be taken out and placed on the grass out of the way. Lay it down—don't throw it down! The proper way to hold the pin is shown at the right. Stand to one side — watch your shadow—and hold the pin at arm’s length.. Well-trained caddies do this, but if your caddy fails to hold the piu right, explain the method to him. Don't make it necessary for your partner or opponent to correct your caddy. KEARNS ACCEPTS TERMS Mushy Calishan to Battle Winner of Jimmy Goodrich-Buck Lawless Bout in Buftalo. Los Angeles, May 1 (® — Jack Kearns, manager for Mushy Calla- han, junior welterweight champion, has announced he has accepted terms for a title match in Buffalo, . late in May between Calla- and the winner of the Jimmy Goodrich-Buck Lawless bout sched- uled for mext week, in the eastern eity. Kearns said the match would be peomoted by Charles Murray, who also has made an offer for a middle- weight championship bout between Mickey Walker, also managed by Kearn: and Osk Till of Buffalo. Murray agreed to pay Walker $75,- 000 for defending his title in June, Kearns said. « YOUNG MONTREAL WINS Providence, R. 1., May 1 (UP)— Young Montreal of Providence out- pointed Johnny Farr of Cleveland, O, in a 10-round bout here last night.

MAY BE CHAMPION Winner of Fidel LaBara-Kid Choco- Iate Bout May be: Declared 118- Pound Title Hoider. ‘New York, May 1 (UP)—The win- ner of the Fidel La Barba-Kid Choc- olate fight af the New York Coli- seum, May 21, may be recognized as the 118-pound champion of the world, the New York state athletic commission indicated here yester- day. Although- denying the plea of Jess McMahon, manager of the Coliseum, that the hout be recog- nized as a title affair, the commis- slon promised to consider the win- ner for championship honors, de- pending upon the work of both men in the bout and the general attitude of public toward the fight. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1929 ZRDERBY DARBS | \ Port Harlem, bred by Publisher Mcl.ean of Washington on his Vir- ginia Piedmont plantation, is another filly that has an immense backing in the coming Kentucky Derby. Through The Porter and Sweep, this thoroughbred is a tall male descendant of Ben Brush, the founder of the American dynasty to which Broomstick, Whiskery, Bostonian, Victorian and other noted racers belong. Martin Finn owns Port Harlem. This filly started ten times as a two-year-old and won six races, including the Debutante Stakes at Churchill Downs. She was the sensation of the mid- western summer racing season. In the winter books, she was quoted at 100-1, but this price is expected to sink lower if she goes to the post on May 18. BOXING INDUSTRY AT A STANDSTILL Promoters Unable fo Make Matches at Any Price at All New York, May 1 (UP)—The box- Ing industry is virtually at a stand- still throughout the country. Fighters who will fight are at a premium and top-notch matches are almost impossible to get at any price. Jack Dempsey hasn’t been able to make a single match for the Hum- bert J. Fugazy-Ed Cole combine. “I was a pretty good asker in my time,” Dempsey said in explaining his failure to land a big bout, “but these fellows have me backed off the Loards when it comes to demanding big purses.” New York hasn’t seen a real fight since James J. Braddock, hard-hit- ting Jersey City light-heavyweight, knocked out Jimmy Slattery of Buf- falo, March 11, The last important match held in Chicago was the disappointing Tom- my Loughran-Mickey Walker light- heavyweight bout. Detroit hasn't staged a bout of any consequence since the knock-down-and-drag-out Ray Miller-Tommy Grogan light- welght scrap of several months back. Boston has been depending on Jim- my Maloney, the fat fish monger, and Al Mello, who holds two victories over the welterweight champion, Joe Dundee, in non-title bouts for most of its boxing thrills. The Mello-Dundee bout in Boston April 12 was a good fight, but not a great one. The only match of any magnitude held on the far coast re- cently was the Ace Hudkins-Armang Emanuel bout at Los Angeles April 15. New York fight fans are looking forward to a worth-while outdoor season with at least two important heavyweight bouts as the big attrac- tions. The next bout of importance here promises to be the Fidel La Barba- Kid Chocolate match at the New York Coliseum May 21. The New York state athletic commission will recognize the winner as bantam- welght champion in this state. Max Schmeling, German heavy- weight will arrive in Montreal a week from Friday and Madison Square Garden officlals expect him to agree to meet Paolino Uzcudun of Spain on the milk fund program at Yankee stadium June 27. The winner of the Schmeling-Pao- | lino match will be paired against Jack Bharkey in September. This match may provide the next heavy- weight champion. Other matches planned this sum- mer are Loughran-Braddock, Singer- Chocolate, Pladner-8chwartz, Routis vs. winner of the S8inger-Chocolate match, The three biggest drawings in box- ing now are 8chmeling, Singer and Chocolate. 8chmeling will about $200,000 for his match against Paolino. A Schmeling-8harkey bout might draw another $1,000,000 gate. Binger has packed M: Garden on the three occasions he has fought there during the winter, Chocolate is a favorite at the smaller clubs, where he has never failed to draw a packed audience. He recently drew 15,000 to see him win from Bushy Graham on a foul. ison Squarey 'T0 REORGANIZE BURRITT TEAMS Athletic Club Baseball Nines to Again Be in the Field The Burritt A. C. baseball teams, outstanding among the amateur clubs in the state last year, will be reorganized again this season, ac- cording to an announcement made today. Plans have already been started to round up as nrany as pos- sible of last year's squad. It is planned to have two cluns again this year, one to play in the New Britain City league, and the other to play on the road, meeting the stiffest competition possible in the state. A movement has already been started to arrange a scheduie with the opponents which battled the Burritts last year. If arrangements can be made, the first workout of the season will be held next Saturday, the time and place to be announced at a later date. At that time, an invita- tion will be extended to all the members of last year's team and other candidates who might be in- terested in trying for places on the team, Election of a manager, captain and other officials connected with the outfits will be held when the teams begin to,shape up. The consistent urging of the hun- dreds of fans who followed the cogrse taken by the Burritts last year, has decided the officials of {the club in taking steps for reor- ganization again this season, RAILROAD GIANTS GRAPPLE IN EAST (Continued from Preceding Page.)

FIGHT TO A DRAW Buenos Aires, May 1 (#—Dave Shade, American middleweight, and Kid Charol of Cuba, fought 12 rounds to a draw here last night. Ringside spectators seemed to think 8hade won by a wide margin. Shade was the aggressor throughout ani had the Cuban in distress several times, COLUNBIA PIGKED T0 DEFEAT YALE Drastic Shift by Coach Ed Lead- ¢r Has Caused Shilt in Backing New York, May 1 UP—In recent years it has been customary to pick Yale to win the varsity race of the Blackwell cup regatta with Penn and Columbia and let it go at that. But developments of the last 24 hours have induced the experts to believe Columbia has more than an even chance of breaking Yale's string of six straight victories on the Housatonic at Derby, Conn., this Saturday. A drastic shift by Ed Leader in the Yale boating has swung support toward Columbia. Believing his var- sity needs more “beef.” Leader an- nounced last night that he had sent his star stroke oar, Woody Tappen, 161 pounds, to the junior varsity and replaced him with Arthur Pal- mer, 188 pounds, hitherto a member of the “jayvee" eight. The shift boosted the weight aver- age of the ElNl varsity from 173 to 176 1-2 pounds. that will make a respectable showing against Penn- sylvania's average of 179 1-8 pounds and Columbia’s 180 1. Nevertheless, Tappen's removal came as a shock to most followers of eastern rowing. Despite his lack of size, Tappen generally was re- garded as an eminently satisfactory stroke for the Yale crew of last wea- son which bowed only to California in the Olympic trials. That defeat, incidentally, was the first Tappen ever had suffered in his prep school | and college rowing career, With Leader still experimenting with the Yale varsity, it is not s H prising that the experts should be inclined to view Columbia’s chances with favor. The Lions have a fast. rugged and smoothly rowing eight which promises to make trouble for | all opposition this season. | Pennsylvania generally has been conceded no better than an outside chance in the varsity event. Rusty Callow’s newly named varsity in- cludes four members of last year's first string eight—Captain Charles Krampen, Warren Pine, Adrian Teat and the stroke oar, Ed Taeff- ner, who set the beat for Penn at Poughkeepsia last year. Tom Lam- | bert and Harold De Veau were in the freshman boat last year and Dicksinson Barnshart was in the second freshman eight. John Weis, | eighth member of the present var- | sity, was ineligible after the first re- gatta last season. DUNDEE YS. MELLO | Welterweight Champion to Defend His Title Against Lowell Boy at Braves Fleld in June. | Boston, May 1 (UP)—Barring un- | foreseen developments, Joe Dundee | of Baltimore will defend his world welterweight title against Al Mello | of Lowell at Braves field on June 24, according to Eddie Mack, Boston | Garden matchmaker. Should obstacles arise to make it undesirable for Mello to participate in the match, Dundee's .opponont probably would be either Jackie Fielda or Young Jack Thompson of Chicago. Twice in recent months. Mello has whipped the champion in non-titular bouts. giving him the best elaim”to the June 24 match, according to Mack. The matchmaker announced that the bout would be staged on & popu- lar price basis, with tickets selling at $1 to $4. Braves field would ac- commodate approximately 35,000 OPENING DELAYED Ilinols Horse Racing Enthusiasts Forced 10 Wait Another Day Un- Ul Purses Are Settled. Aurora, Il horse racing May 1 P —Illinois enthusiasts will be forced to wait at least one more day for the opening of the season. Horse owners and officials of the Aurora track where the inaugural program was to have opened today, have fail- ed to scttle differences concerning size of purses. The owners, yesterday demanded that the minimum purse for races on the program be raised from $800 to $1,000 and deduction of one per cent of the winning purses for the Thoroughbred Horsemen's associa- tion. When Clifford R. Trimble, gen- eral manager of the track, refused, the owners withheld entries for the opening day's card. Trimble said he expected that dif- ficulties would bhe straightened out /in time for an opening tomorrow. VOLLEY IALL REWM LTS Standing w.
