Speaking of Sports With the opening tomorrow night of the Junior City league, there will be baseball almost every evening during the week anJd also Saturday afternoons. ¥ . The Junior City league will play on Moaday and Wedneaday evenings nd Saturday afternoons. The In- dustrial league plays on Tuesday and Thursduy evenings while the City league games are stagcd or Sunday afternoons. Soon, with the plans already in the works, the Rotary Boys' Base- ball league will get undirway, bringing in two more games during the week. These are generally play- ed in the afternoons. ‘That gives the fans of the city their choice of 13 games during the week, all of them being league games. BSunday afternoon contests. played by the semi-pro tehms of the city, can be added to these, giving the city .at least three more base- Lall games, making a total of 16 games to be played in this city every week during the summer. Besiges these, the are many other {eams in action which will be play- ing on a haphazard schedule during the summer months. Without a questicn of a doubt, there is plenty of baseball in New Britain this year. Of course, wa are not counting the Indvstrial Soft Pall league, the ¥raternal Soft Ball league or the Church league in all of these games. The kids are whooping it up over the announcement that the Rotary league will again be organized. For a time it was thought that the league had seen its last sezson last year but the announcement that ac- tion will again be started next month has set, the youngstcrs to practicing hard for places on the various teams. Manager Gerry McCourt is start- ing out right in getting an early prospects on the plans. He states that he will insist upon birth certfi- cates this year. Absence of bi:th certificates will bar the youngsiers from play. The American Legion baseball team is about ready to get into ac- tion. Entered in the Junior City league, Larry Mangan's crew will make things hum once again about the state. Louis Vogel gave us a snappy answer last nigth when we asked him why he wasn't playing tennis this year. “They've built a house where our tennis courts used to be. We can't play tennis in the kitchen.” That's a good and sufficient rea- son why the New Britain Tennis club isn’'t promoting its usual tourna- ments this year.

Chicago, June 18 (M—Tony Can- zoneri, former world featherweight champion, has the choice of engag- ing in titular bouts in two divisions. Canzoneri last week accepted terms offered by Paddy Harmon, president of the Chicago Stadium corporation, for a shot at S8ammy Mandell's lightweight crown, on or before August 30. Yesterday Tod Morgan, junior lightweight titleholder, advised Harmon that he is ready to defend his championship any time Har- mon selects, and named Canzoneri as his cholce for an opponent. Matchmaker Nate Lewis left for New York to discuss the proposals with Canzoneri. \ Chicago, June 18 (# — Jackie Fields, recognized by the National Boxing association as welterweight champion, and Farmer Joe Cooper, Terre Haute, Ind., have been signed by Matchmaker Jim Mullen for a 10 round bout at Milis stadium June 27. The match will top the opening card at the stadium. RUTH BACK IN TOWN —_— King of Swat Will Probably Return to Yankee Lineup for Series With Athletics Friday. New York, June 18 P—Much im- proved in health, Babe Ruth is back in town but he still needs a few days Of rest before getting back into the New York Yankees' lineup. The Babe has been spending the past week on a fishing trip near Washington in an effort to recover from a severe cold that forced him out of the Yankee lineup nearly a | month ago. Ruth probably will not get into uniform until Friday when the Yon- kees play their “crucial series” with the Philadelphia Athletics. (Associated Press Sports Writer) New York, June 18 (P—Hortor Smith is a member of the freshman class of the golf college, but his sationa]l performances during che winter season and record breaking pair of 66's in the French profes- sional championship have made him highly respected by lis fellows and the public at large. The 21 year old Joplin, Mo., pro will hear his name mentioned any time he listens in on a conversation dealing with the chances of the pros in the open to be played this month over the stern Winged Foot course at Mamaroneck, N. Y. The tall lad with an ever present smile claimed his place in the golf rzun during the winter. He won the north and south open at Pinehurst to climax the most sensational sea- son any golfer, ygdng or old, has enjoyed since the game developed its pleasant habit of leaving bags of gold at the 36th and 72d hole for the players who could last the route. The Missourian, a member of the Ryder cup team, did not strike his stride until the golfing caravan mov- ed over to France for the French professional championship. There he startled the golf world by turn- ing in a score of 66 for the first round and duplicating this breath- taking performance on his second. He won the French title with a j score of 273, completing the 72 hole total with rounds of 70 and' 71, never over par. Young 8mith has had little exper- ience in the open. He finished in a tie for 45th at Aakngpnt in 1927 and was tied for 28th last year at Olym- pia Fields. However, the only dif- ference in the dozen championships he has won since the last open and HORTON SMITH the blue ribbon pending event is the added responsibility. mature for Horton, as he had not re- Played. the third round and finished 7.

Spikes Reports Frequently Heard in Baseball Circles Philadelphia, June 18 (A—Connie Mack, veteran manager of the Phil- adelphia Athletics, today spiked re- ports frequently heard in baseball ! circles that he desires to win one more pennant and then retire. | Mack sald he had no intention of retiring and that hoped still to be managing the Athletics when he is 70 years old. He is now 66. “There is absolutely nothing to the report about winning a pennant and retiring,” said Mack. “I have no reason to quit. No one will have to tell me when it is time for me to give up managing. I'll know better than any one else when that time is at hand. “The only thing that will ever make me arrive at that decision will be my health. If the time comes when to continue managing will have harmful effect on my well-be- ing. then I shall step out. Not before. “What a wonderful thing it would be if T could only manage the club in my 70th year. 1 don't know if T will be able to do it. But if my health is all right I expect to do it. Then 1 may be ready to hand over the reins to some younger man and let him do the worrying for me." Manager Mack revealed that he was on the verge of retiring during the southern training trip of the Athletics this spring, because of his health. “] wasn't feeling 8o good then,” he said. “The influenza had laid me low during the winter and 1 was still feeling its effects. 1 doubted that 1 would be able to go through with another season of managing, and 1 came closer to quitting than ever before.” This is Mack’s 29th season as pilot of the Athletics and his 36th as a baseball manager, a record not ap- proached by any one past or present.

Boston, June 18 M—George Cook of Australia stood a winner today by virtue of a low left hook, turned loose by Johnny Risko of Cleve- land.
