Speaking of Sports Bill McCue, son of Detective Ser- geant William P. McCue of the local polioe. ferce, has made quite an im- prebsion on the football coaches at Georgetown university, according to the latest word received here. Spring practice has just been finished znd | New York .. young. Bill was termed one of -the “best' defensive backs at George- town in some time.” Bill is trying for a fullback posi- tlon and he will probably make the grade. He injured his leg last year and was unable to play but this .gave the coach a “break.” Instead of playing his ffeshman year and eontinuing until he finished his ju- flor semester, Bill can now play until his senior year. He will be used extensively in training the new backfield candi- dates ‘and breaking them into the tricks of the game, New Britain fighters made quite &n impreasion in a card of bouts at Kridgeport last night. Kid Reney of thia city, in his first appearance as & professional, defeated Joe Nagy of Bridgeport by a decision in four rounda Reney is the first boy to atop ® long winning streak ‘of the Park | City battler. Nagy is considered one @f the best bantamweights in Bridgeport and he had already won uine fights, eight by- knockouts and ene by decision. The bout was by far the best on the card and it had the house in an uproar from the start to the finish. ‘The Semeca A. C. baseball team will hold its weekly practice at Wil- low Brook Park at 10 o'clock Sun- day morning. The coach wishes all candidates trying out for the team to be present. The manager is busy Tooking up games for the coming season and he expects to hook up with some of the leading teams in the state, According to the present dope, the players will have to hustle to keep their places on the nine. The Connecticut Yankees baseball team won its third game of the sea- won yesterday by a forfeit. ‘The Pirates will hold their first vractice of the season tomorrow afternaon at 2 o'clock at Willow Brook Park. All members of last year’s team and new candidates are asked to be present. “Charlie” Miller, who has coach- ‘ed the Pirates since their organiza- tion years ago, will again take up the reins thia season. He is enthu- siastic over the prospects for a good season. Last year the Pirates ended up in @ tie for first place in the City league, being defeated in the play- off for the title by the West Ends, $to 1. Miller will have a atrong pitching | gtaft this. year, Besides “Hugsy" Carlson, the Pirate mainstay, he will have “Johnny” Rose ace of the Bur- ritt pitching staft for years, and “Joe” Potts, high school twirler. The Corbin Red Sox will work out this afternoon at 2 o'clock at ‘Walnut Hill k. A scheduled practice Thursday night had to te called off on account of rain.

By VERNE WICKHAM Events which cast their shadows before them may be popular and all that, but golfers who case their shadow before, behind and all around them are not popular on any golf course. This aggravating golfer has just holed his putt and is standing around on the green, watching the rest of the golfers putt and his shadow is covering the cup! You know the type that stands around carelessly looking over the course or up at ‘he fleecy clouds. You look for the cup and finally dis- cover it tucked away in the shadow some place between the left arm and the body and then just as you get ready to take a whack at the half- hidden cup he moves around and completely covers it. Late in the afternoon it is espe- cially hard to keep your shadow where it belongs at all times, but if you will be careful about this point it will stamp you as a considerate golfer quicker than most any other little bit of etiquet. It should be a habit just as much as picking- your ball out of the cup before the rest of them putt. Don't walk across the line to putt. Watch your shadow and keep it still on the green!

Most of them are foredoomed to disappointment but ‘it three or four don’t finish among the first 10 there will be grounds for considerable amazement in the United States and joy, per- haps, in Great Britain. With a field of 242 to be cut down | to about 80, some of the Americans probably will confine their competi- tion exclusively to the qualifying round of 36 holes, 18 of which are ‘to be played on Monday and 18 on Tuesday. After the field has been down to the first 80 and all those tying for §0th position, the 0 72 holes of medal play, will begin. Eighteen holes will be played on Wednesday, 1 on Thursday and 8 the last 36 on Friday. British golf showed unmistakable signs of coming to life in the Ryder cup matches when the island's pick- ed professionals defeated a strong American team by seven points to five. With such stars as George Duncan, Abe Mitchell, Archie Comp- ston and Charles Whitcombe among the profession; and T. P. Perkins, well as other leading amateurs, Great Britain hopes to keep the championship in her own borders this year, and at the same time break a five-year American monopo- England’'s greatest golfing honor. That looms as something of a task. however, when such American stars as Walter Hagen. Leo Diegel, Gene Sarazen, Horton 8niith, John- ny Farrell, “Wild Bili"" Mehlhorn, Tommy Armour, MacDonald .Smith. professionals, and George Von Elm, former United States: amateur champion, will be furnishing the opposition. Other American profes- sionals entered include Johnny Golden, Al Watrous, Joe Turnesa, Al Espinota. Ed Dudley, Jim Barnes and Bobby Cruickshank. Von Elm's support from American amateurs will come from Silas Newton, Joshua Crane, Stewart Sheftal, Max Behr, F. W. Stites and J. Thompson. The big ficld has been cut in half for the qualifying round. One-half will play the first 18 holes on the municipal course at Gullane and the final 18 at Muirfield. The other half will reverse that procedure. The 72 holes of championship play, of course, will be at Muirfield.
