Speak ing of Sports “ Rain today may bring sunshine to- morrew but it certainly raises havoc with the sperts world today. From the looks of things at the time of this writing, there will be no Indus. rigl League opening at Walnut Hill perk although just at.present the gimes have mot yet been postponed. The rain will also, in all probabil. ity ‘prevent the - staging of the O'Brien-Ebbets fight card scheduled 6 be run off at Bulkeley Staduim in Hartford tonight. This bout was scheduled to draw an enormous erowd> of fight fans from this city to the Hartford ball park. . The High achool baseball team faces two hard games this week, ‘‘'he first will be played tomorrow in Hartford against Hartford High while the second will be with. the 8t. Thomas' 8eminary nine in this city Saturday afternoon. This whl be the first time that permission has been given the Seminary team to leave Hartford to play. * Coach George Cassidy of the high school ‘team blames one bad throw in the game with Kensington last Saturday afternoon for the 12 runs which followed in the fourth inning. Bogdanski, mistaking the coach who had a glove on, for his fielder, peg- #ed the ball to him and this sturted the ball rolling. This would have been an easy out, making two for the high school and it would prob- ably have stopped the rally which gave the game to Kensington. The West Ends baseball team will practice tomorrow night at 6:30 o'clock at Willow Brook park. All members of the team and new can- didates are urged to attend the workout. —_— ‘The Herald baseball nine started off ita season last night with a win over the Patterson-Chevrolet nine at Willow Brook park. The news- papermen are now out to get Nom Begley's Spring & Buckley tribe and after that Adkins. Manager “Hap” Griswold aims to meet the Gascos about the fifth game. Although a minor game, the con- test was featured by the Herald battery, Eddie Lawson and his brother George, both of them sons of an old timer who starred in the days of his pride, worked as the pitcher and catcher respectively. Tt's a great thing to get out and play baseball, especially after several years’ layoff, but Oh! the next morn- ing. Stiff and sore muscles don't make anyone happy. Better days are coming. Charley Barrett, manager of the old time world championship basket- | ball team, got a real kick out of the story in the Herald last Saturday on Burt Loomis.

Farrier, 19 years old, of Jersey City, sank in the muddy waters of the canal when with a half dozen other freshmen he leaped into the stream to escape pursuing sopho- mores list night. He was pulled out unconscious five minutes after he jumped by a fraternity brother and two members of the varsity swimming team, but “died later in a hospital without re- saining consciousness. Last week Dean Fraser Metzgar warned members of the student council who had charge of the rush that freshmen were not to be per- mitfed to jump into the canal during the rush.

E COPYRIGHT 1929 BV MEA SERVICE DG BY VERNE WICKHAM A charming little picture of wild life on our golf courses shows what happened to the fussy Mr. Bangs. Mr. Bangs started out in a mild- marnered foursome for a game of golf. He wore swell golf clothes, had a neat set of sticks, a beauti- ful- swing and looked for all the world like a golfer. His tee shot was oki 80 was his second to the green. MHis partners were beginning to think they had selected well in picking him for a partner. And then they reached the green. On the first green, Mr. Bangs made a complete circuit of the green while Mr. Jenkins vas trying to get his long putt into the cup. He walk- ed clear around the edge of the sreen and never even stopped when he got in Jenkins' line of vision, On the second green, he put the blade of his putter on the toe of his shoe angd spun it. The reflection just happerted to catch Mr. Kemp's cye as he was putling. Just a sec- ond before Kemp hit the ball, Mr. Bangs dropped the putter on the green. On the third green Mr. Bangs stood within three feet of the hole and cleaned his ball. He used his Landkerchicf and it waved like a flag as the three golfers tried to putt. On the fourth green he — but why go on? The terrible truth is that Mr. Bangs' green deportment was terrible and it £o worked cn the nerves of his feliow golfers that on the ninth green the hogtied him and left him tied to the pin.

DOUBLES MATCHES BEING PLAYED ON PARIS COURT Wilbur Coea to Make His Debut With Edouard Borotra as His Tartner Today. Paris, May 21 U»—The bt of getting doubles matches of all soris ——men, women's and mixed. out of way before getting down to the singles, continued ‘ today in the French hard court championthips at the Roland Garroa stadium. Wilbur Coen, of Kansas City was to make.his Parisian debut fer 1929 in the mens' doubles. Paired with Edouard Borotra, brother of the more famous Jean, Coen is to meet Zahar and Dannon of France. Helen Wills and Edith Cross drew Mmes. Danet and Speranza as appo- nents while in the mixed doubles Miss Cross and Coen faced Mme. Friedlebon and Wetzel whose repu- tation is limited pretty much to the courts of France. Big Bill Tilden, in the absence of Molla Mallory who scratched her en try, paired with Mae Sutton Bundy in the mixed doubles where they met Mile. Barbier and Grandguillet. The greatest display of consonants and vowels which the day's program afforded found Count S8alm, better known on the front pages than the sport pages of America, paired with Kleinschroth against Zerlandi and Zafimopoulo of Greece. Lack of space prevented the printer of the programs from including their Chris- tian names. HOME RUN CLUB Ott, Glants, 10. Gehrig, Yankees. 9. Kilein, Phillies, 8. Ruth, Yankees, 7.

With closing time for entries set for 6 o'clock tonight, the United States Golf association along the $5 entrance fees. revised rules, amateur entries are restricted to players with a handicap cf three strokes or less so that the U. 8. G. A. does not expect the entry list to come within striking distance of the 1064 who participated last vear in the qualifying round. Some 200 last-minute entries are expected. Qualifying play for the open, set for the Winged Foot club June 2 28, 29, is to be held June 10 over 19 courses in every section of the United States, Practically cvery leading profes- sional and amateur golfer in country is entered but there been ro British challenges, HIGH SCHOOL GAME | Hartford and New Britain scheduled to Meet in CaplitalyCity Tomorrow Afternoon, Unless rain makes necessary & third change in the Hartford and New Britain high school game, the contest will be played in Hartford tomorrow afternoon after school. It will probably get under way at about § o'clock. It is probable that Stanley Par- tyka will be given the call to pitch, if he is called. The rest of the line- up will remain the same with the the regular team. Ross' outfield play in the Kensington contest has sent his stock up several points. Hartford high is not having a |x0od season and as the New Britain team is not doing much better both [teams should be evenly matched.
