Speaking of Sports ‘There« isn't any doubt whatever that Howard “Tubby” Beloin of this ¢ity is the most popular athlete that Fordham university has ever had. At the presentation of the letters lasy week when Beloin steed.up to re- ceive his, the 600 Ferdhamites pres- ent nearly raised the roof in their acclaim for the boy whe was one of the outstanding football guards of the scheol. *“Toots" Politis was awarded two letters, one for football and the other fer basketball, Scully re. ceived a letter for ‘football while Menjue Zaleski received one for bas- ketball. Arthur Pilz of this city, director of the Meriden Boys' club and all eround New England field and track champion in 1914, will again ha charge of the direction of athlet st Camp Cuno which opens June 26 and cleses August 21, Mr. Pilz acted in this capacity last 6cason but this year he plans a rumber of new features including & dix-hele golf course, archery, base- ball, swimming, life-saving, beating, fshing, fleld hockey, kite flying, colleyball, hiking, tennis, water and field sports. An assistant and six camp leaders will work with him. Another change is probable in the Scheduled New Britain-Hartford high bassball game in this city next ‘Wednesday afternoen. Postponed twice already, the contest may be staged in Hartford instead of in New Britain. In retugn, the secend ganie, scheduled in Hartford, will probably be played in this city. ‘sach John Newell of Hartford explained that the achool can have use of its fleld in Hartford next Wednesday aftérnoen without cost but on the day on which the second game ia scheduled the field will be occupied and the school will preb. ably have to pay rental for another. Coach George M. Cassidy has been told that the Hartford students are ling a great many tickets for the :nm‘ and both schools might be enefited financially from the game ‘peing played in the Capital City. ( Coach Cassidy will recommend the switch to Principal Leuis P. Slade whe will likely make arrangements with Dr. Fex, financial director of athletice at Hartford high, The professional fight card at the Ktanley Aréna last night was hardly & success for the promoters. A small crewd attended and left in enything but an enthusiastic frame of mind. It is questionable if the Crescent A. C. will stage another card next week.

Errors contributed gesatly to the debacle, Simsbury scored five more in the fitth and led at the opening of the sixth by a 13 to 10 score.

TABS ANDR. & E RICH WITH STARS A decade or two ago, there would net have been a city baseball league without & Y. M. T. A. & B. society representative fighting for a bderth near the tep, nor would an Indus- triat league season be started minus an entry from the Russell & Erwin factory. The present City League personnel does not include the “Tabe" and for this first time in & number of years the Industrial League has ne R. & E. eutfit, & con. dition that goes a loeng way towards proving that changes in the gports world are as surprising as they are strange. ] The *“Tabs" a decade or two ago had some of the best ball players in the city and whether they played as society representatives or with other clubs, they were always to be feared on the diamond. “Mickey" Lynch, who has beén umpliring on local diamonds for the past several seasons, caught for the “Tabs” & number of years and was considered one of the best amateures in the state. His battery mate was the late James Riley, one of the craftiest twirlers the city has ever seen. Riley was a’student of baseball and much off his success was due to his ability to study the batters who faced him, and once he learned their weaknesses he seldem pitched u ball anywhere near their favorite spot. He had some nice curves and a good change of pace, but when they started to fail him he always had “the old bean” to ball back on. Lynch, toe, was a crafty player and his services were greatly in de- mand. Stevie Dudack. Major Jack Kiley, Jack McCue and ‘dozens of others wore the spangles of the popular organization over a span of years, and all did their bit towards keep- ing the interest high and the seci- ety out in ‘front athletically. Some tight games with 8t. Paul's T. A, B. Bociety of Kensington were and clashes with seciety clubs about the state in connection with C. T. A, U. field days were high lights of the baseball seasen of that period. The Russell & Erwin factory at that time was a veritable het-bed o baseball enthusiasm, and t which, in the epinion of followers of local sperts, ranked with the very best ever assembled in New Britain, 'were always in the running. In 1912, 1913, and thereabeuts, no team in the Industrial League. which played its gam t Electric Field in Plainville and Walnut Hill Park, had a chance with the R. & E. out. fit. “Geoler” Conlin, now a city fire- man, and Elias Ringrase, now an at. torney, were the catchers, and Hen- ry Flanagan, & High school athletic L later a college luminary, one of the pitchers, also taking his turn in the outfield. Harold Coogan, one of the few local semi- pro catchers to turn in & no-hit, no- run_performance, was the mainstay in the box. Larry Mangan played first base and managed the team, and at different times “Red" Camp- bell, Berney Coyle, Frank Stingle, “Maud” Applegren, Harry Parsons, now a city fireman, and other good players of that day, held down po- sitions on the infield. The Zwick brothers, Charley Mil. ler, Eddie Goeb and other stars were in the outfield, in fact, the team had all the appearances of an all-star club. Several of the players were with the Independents, the léading local team at that time, playing Saturday with the factory club and Sundays and holidays with the Independents. With the passing of the years, however, changes came about in the facteries and the membership of varjous fraternal organisations, and last season and the season of 1927 found the Rumell & Erwin club completely outclassed in the Indus- trial League. A dozen or more years ago, some of the other teams were le to put up a fight against the atars but few were the games that were wrested away from them. Pitchers with Campbell, Goeb, Mil- fer, Conlin and Flanagan to face had their hands full, and many a game was snatched out of the fire with of the formidable bats wielded by that crew. LOOKING FOR GAMES ‘The 8t. John A. C. baseball nine of Yalesville is booking home and heme games with the leading semi- pré clubs about the state, Manager Ed Massow of Yalesville would like to hear from local clubs. FIELD WELL TO LEFT American League players say Jack Hayes, with Washington and Charley Gehringer, with Detroit, are two second basemen whe travel to their left 90 well that it is almost impossible to drive & ball by them. READ NERALD CLASSIFIED ADS FOR BEST RESULTS ~ RAGE IN GOOD OLD DAYS Entry Cards for Two Events Run 46 Years Ago Bring Back Memories of Rentschler's Park — Runners From This City and Surrounding Towns Used to Compete — List of Rules Governing the Events— Prizes Offered to Winners—Results of Racing. It is so often these days that one hears the expression *Oh! Those were the good old days!" that one begins to wonder just what made the old days so good. This applies not only to the days before Volstead got in his bR of legislation which has become the most discussed law in the history of the country, but it applies also to aports. Just the other day, while digging through an old trunk in his home while the Missus was doing her spring house cleaning, D. J. Dona- hue, propriteor of the Sportsman’s Exchange on Ralroad Arcade, came across something that should be of interest to a great many of the wsport followers of two score years age. The something was a set of entry cards for two handicap foot races which were .conducted Rentachler's Park 46 years ago. In those days, they tell us, handi- cap racing was the thing and was in vogue all over the country. Out of the group of athletes from this city and other surrounding places, there arose one of the greatest handicap men of his day, Bunce Flynn of Seuthington. Names, piles of them, familiar to almost every- one in the city, dot the entrance cards and men who today seem any- thing but athletes, have a past in sports that could allow them to swell their chests, if they ever felt so0 in- clined. Rentschler's Park, that paradise of fun in the old days, lying on the elevation at the foot of Arch street between Shuttle Meadow Avenue and places south, is now but a mem- ery. In its place there rear homes and residences, the result of the progress made in this city in the last 20 years. The park, originally Rentschler and Zeiner's Scheutzen Park, was one of the best known athletic gathering places in the state and there, weekly and sometimes more often, meets would be held in which were entered the leading men of all events. Though we adhere strictly to the sports angle of these affairs, one can never forget the ever-present picnic table with its sandwich ceunters and its keg for the flowing bowl to ap- pease a gnawing hunger or a thirst such as can be raised only in Au- gust. We can hear the sighs escap- ing fer “The good old days.” The cards loaned us by Mr. Dona- hue are not only relics. they are treasures. To the uninitiated, they give an insight into the fun and hil- arity of the days gone by| To those interested in sports, they give an insight to the mode of athletics in the old days. To those still living who were either spectators or par- ticipants, they bring back memories of g youth bound up in activities which this section of the country knows no more. Handicap racing was all the rage at the time these cards were used. The date on one is May 30, 1883 and | the date of the other is July 25 of the same year. Both were the entry cards for a 135 yards feot handicap run under the rules of the American 8porting Association and hailed as the third and fourth All United States event. First prize offered was $100. Se- cond was $30, third was $12.50 and fourth §7.50. In these days of high finance, the ameunt of these prices doesn’t appear to be much. but in those days, the competition for places “in the money” would put to shame many a race run in more modern times. Rules (0 Govern The rules to govern were as fol- lows: Rule 1—At the first time of enter- ing accompanied by the entrance fce, must the proper name and ad- dress in full of entry and all names he has assumed for the purpose f running, also results of last two races, where and with whom. The association having any doubts what- ever of the runner having entered falsely, reserve the right to disqual- ity him. Rule 2—Any man leaving or get- ting over his mark with either foot befere the pistol is fired, will he put back one yard for the first offense and one yard more for the second offense, and for the third offense, disqualified. Rule 3—A miss fire {0 be no start. Rulé §—Each man allowed one a tendant on the mark, who must ri tire behind the pistol fircr hefore the atart. Rule §—1f any man gets over his mark and after being put back runs a dead heat in running off the ssid heat, the man penalized must start from his eriginal mark. Rule ¢—In the event of any di turbance taking place or darkness coming on, the promoters shall have the right te postpone the running of any heat or heats. at} Rule 7—Runners are cautioned against not trying for their heats as they will not be raised en the next time of entering, for not doing so. Rule 8—The decision of the ref- eree shall be final. Rule 9—Runners must appear in shirts and drawers. A dressing room is provided for the runners. No stripipng on the track. List of Entries To enter the event acheduled for May 30, 1883, a fee of $1 was re. quired. The name was accepted and, if & handicap of a certain number of yards was named. If this was accept- able to the runner, he was then re- quired to donate another dollar whereupon his name was placed on the atarting card.
