[ A Moore, p Speaking of Sports The mention of the old Fifth Ward baseball team in this column the other night, has brought down a de- luge of memories from basebail fans, some of whom are old timers and from others who are not 30 old. The remark that the team was the beat ever gathered together in this city has gone unchallenged. Many have remarked that they are in nc- cord with the opion that the team ‘was the best ever organized from purely New Britain talent. A glance over the line-up recalls many of the games played at Walnut Hill park. If we have forgotten anybody, we won't mind being checked up. Mike Lynch, now one of the pre- mier umpires in the city, was the catcher. There was none better in those days. In the pitcher's box ‘was Jimmy Riley and Charley Cleve- land. Both of these boys were smart twirlers and they were rve- sponsible for many of the victories scored by the team. “Lefty” Charland was on first base, He was a pretty fielder and & hard hitter. *Pickles” Swanson played second base. “Pickles” conld still play a sweet game if he wanted to step out on the diamond. Th= perennial youth, *“Red” Campbell was the third baseman and we necd say nothing here at all about his ability as a baseball player. They don't grow 'em these days like ~#Red.” Billy Kopf, later a star in the major leagues, was the short stop. Billy, known familiarly as “Larry,’ used to bat from both sides of the plate according to the pitchers he faced. The fans who weren't root- ers for the KFifth Warders, used to claim that Billy was “‘showing off.” The outficld was a sweet one. Btevie Dudack, who disports in lcft field for the famous Gascos in the present day, was the left fielder In the Ward league. O'Brien played center. He was one of the most versatile players in baseball in those days. He could play any place on the diamond. Charley Miller, prea- ent coach of the Dirates and of the New Britain Machine Co. team in the Tndustrial league, was the flelder. While playing as & member of this team, Miller hit one of the longest hits on record in this city when he put the ball squarely over the big tree that stands in the right fleld of Diamond No. 2 at Walnut HIll park. Mart Walsh, superintendent at the Y. M. T. A. & B. society building was the manager of the team and the cup awarged the combination for the champibnship of the Ward league, 18 still on exhibition in the society’s rooms on Main street. That vas certainly a great base- | ball combination and even the fans of today ar: willing to admit that it was the best purely New Britain team ever assembled together. We would like to see these old timers all turn out again some day to together, if just for an exhibition. ATHLETICS WIDEN LEAD IN LEAGUE (Continued from Preceding Page.) Gelbert, «s Mitchell, p .

June 28 (—Reports that drugged horses have ,been run in races here today were under inves- tigation. following the arrest yester- day of Frank Tennant, a trainer at the Washington Park track, on charge of violation of federal nar- cotic laws. Agents under Henry L. Balaban, assistant 8. district attorney, raid- ed Tennant's quarters and meized his trunk which was found to contain narcotics. Balaban said the raid fol- lowed numerous drugged horses were being run at the track. Jockey E.

June 28 — 0 Connecticut golfers in the national open tournament, were trailed by nearly half the spectators at Winged Foot vesterday. Billy Burke of Westport, started at 9:15 and carried most of the early risers with him. He won the New York state open last week and his 75 yesterday stood as low score for quile a while. Louis Chiapetta of Sequin, paired wita Walter Hagen, had the oppor- tunity of displaying his wares to that part of the crowd that did not follow Burke, Horton E&mith or Bobby Jones. After Jones completed hig round. his gallery turned to Hagen and Chiapetta. The other Nutmeg State entrants, Charlie Clare, Peter Man- ning, Massie Miller and Henry Con- ci, started too late to have much of a following. Hagen and the Sequin pro provid- ed a striking contrast in size, but when it came to golf shots, Louis suffered in only one respect, his put- ting. Off the tees, he was usually ahead of Hagen and when he had to make recoverics out of traps, his chip shots called dorth loud ap- plause. He was driving from 275 to 35¢ rds which amazed the gal- lery. How does that little fellow Fet so far?” was a question ofien usked by his followers. But, in spite of missed putts on |- four holcs that w: =~ heart breaks tc his friends, Loiis scored 78, only two «trol more than Hagen. It Chia- petti’s putter had been as useful ag his driver, Winged Foot would have offered small obstacles to him. A. W. Tillinghast, golf architect, who designed Winged Foot may have smiled to himself as the big NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 28, | WVHO BY BRIAN BELL (Associated Press Spirts Writer) New York, June 28 (M—Al Espi- nosa, Chicago pro, was the only member of the Ryder cup team to made a hole in one during the in- vasion of Europe by the golf stars from the United States. Al holed his tee shot at the sixth hole of the Moortown course during practice for the international matches. The sure firing pro was not so good in the open at Muirfield, being a bit wobbly from the start and finishing with a pair of 81's for a 72-hole total of 814, for too many| strokes. spinosa, who has been a mem- ber of the last two Ryder cup teams, although he did not play at Worces; ter in 1927, finished all even with Ernest Whitcombe in his 36 hole singles match and paired with Leo | Diegel won in the foursome over George Duncan and Aubrey Boom- er, seven up and five to play, in the 1929 international contests. Al had the greatest single round in the 1927 open competition at; Oakmont, when he played the final 18 holes of the 72-hole test in 69, but he had used 83 for his first effort and 80 on the second, finish- ing in a tie for cighteenth with a count of 311. Tn 1925 he tied for ninth when he used up 80 valuable strokes on the last round after starting 72-71-74. Last year he was in a tie for fourteenth with an even 300 at the close of the contest. Espinosa probably will be the west's greatest threat the quest for golf's highest prize in the United States when the field of 150, se- lected from 1,000 of the game's brightest stars, starts out on elusive quest at Winged I7oot. shots in golf circles failed to get par on the first hoie. Leo Dicgel three putted it for a 5, Jonss needed three shots to get on and took three putts and the best Hagen could get was a 5. When two such masters as Jones and Hagen started off in this style, there seemed little chance that par would be broken. But the amatcur champion's finish of five 38 and four 45 changed Mr. Tillinghast's ideas | about the inviclability of Winged "ool’s par. Sixty-nine is just three strokes better than perfect for the course, : Later in the day Al Espenosa came in with a 70, after missing a putt on the 18th to tie Jones, Gene Sarazen cut in under par with a 7L And then came some 72's, one of which tickled the gallery at the home tee. It was completed in spectacular fashion by old Jack White of Scot- land. He is a contemporary of Val Flood and when the news preceded him that he needed a four on the final hole to score par, there were| cheers when he drove out a long ball. The gallery scattered anl groaned as he hooked a spoon into the crowd. The ball hit a woman's hat and stopped pin high on hard ground off the green. The Scot came puffing up the hill, home to | with a mashie-niblick for his wea- | pon and cut the ball skyward. It| held the slippery green and Jack | sunk a 20-foot putt to show the younger laddies how Scotland's an-| cient game should be played. | i 5 Stopped by Spectator | | His was not the only ball that was | |stopped by a spectator. In the morning a dignified old gentlem:n | from Greenwich was intent upon th: putting on the first hole, when Tom- my Monion of St. Louis hooked a low drive off the ninth tee and hit the Connecticut Yankee on the leg. He hobbled off alone to his chauf-| feur and car, a mile away. | The gallery was large for the fivst day's play but it was a good golf | crowd. Greens weren't trampled on and no one put a footprint in the sand traps | The camera men did all their grinding and clicking before the | players started. No chances wers | taken on upsctting the putting by | allowing th® picture men on the course, ! While Hagen and Chiapetta were posing together, Walter was reque: ed to doff his panama. “I hoped to |get that in he said, “The Prince | gave it to me.” | Johnny Farrell sported a yellow | sweater as he posed with a vacuum | bottle and Leo Diegel wore Yale's!| colors. Bobbie Jones was clad in| grey and the Haig wore brown. Jim | Barnes, as usual, disdoined hunches | |and wore long trousers. ‘ “Heads up” is a good motto for the golf gallery but it is fatal for the player as Jones found out again, |when he was guilty of the great sin | of golf on his third shot at the start | of his round. | Brings Head Up His second was in a trap guard ing the first green. It was an easy | chip to the pin for a possible four or an easy five.

Clinch is in perfect shape for a hard go and so is Oliver so that the two should give the large crowd of fans a treat in punch throwing tonight. The semi-final, also of six roun.s will bring togethcr Eddie Dalton, a hard punching windmill from An- sonia and Louis Murelli of Torring- ton, former state amateur feather- weight champion.

Can you go Pautino snorted between bruised and swollen features shook his head in a vigorous nod and leaped back into the fray, much as a gored bull toward the matador. Last night. Schmeling, the sharp- shooter of Berlin, was the matador, spearing and wounding the Spaniard. | After a slow beginning, with eight | { of nine mauling monotonous rounds | that drew continual derision from a | crowd of 40,000 spectators, Schmel- | ling opened a clashing attack flut: shook the celebrated oak of the | Pyrenees, even though it failed to cut him down. Paulino's head was bloody but unbowed, right up to the final charge, but he was thoroughiy |J beaten nevertheless under the Ger- | man’s cutting uppercuts and jabs. | Schmeling received the unanimous | decision of Referee Arthur Done- | van and the two judges. From the tenth round on there was no ques- | tion of the result. The German toox | about a dozen of the fifteen rounds | altogether, in the verdict of most | newspapermen but he piled up s0 decisive a margin on points in the | last six that the lifting of his hand by the veteran Joe Humphries was merely a formality. Herr Max Adolf Siegfried Schmei- | ing, clean cut, 23 years old, a cap- able boxer and good puncher, stands out today, therefore, as the reigning aticn of what remains of the | avyweight division. | Herr Max may now be ballyhoo>d |to fight Jack Sharkey, the Boston | sailor who was introduced amid o wild chorus of booes last evening. | The Schmeling-Sharkey bout is 2 prospect as the 1929 final of the heavyweight elimination business | Then again, there may be talk of Juck Dempsey's comeback and 2 match iwth the young German, who not only resembles the old Manassa Mauler in striking fashion but who also gained some inspiratioh for his | ving carcer from a chance sparring match with Dempsey, then the champion, in Cologne several ycars ago. | However unconvincing to” the critics his decisive victory over | Paulino may be, Schmeling unques- sionably has fought his way into the top flight of the heavyweight list by | {4 knockout of Johnny Risko and his | \test conquiest to show for a brief | American invasion.

At the finish, the |main cheers, it seemed, were as | much in tribute to the indomitabic courage and fighting spirit of the ! Basque as they were for the youtn- ful conqueror. lLean, dark-browed and well built, his face unmarked | | by the fray, Schmeling was a strange | contrast to the Spaniard. his lps | torn. his left eye cut and almost closed, his nose and ears streaming blood from a dozen cuts. From the tenth round through tl e | fiftcenth, Paulino not only stood up against but actually rushed in‘o more punishment than the last half dozen heavywelght fights combined have witnessed. From out of the portective covering of gloves and el- bows that shielded him for the firct half of the fight, Paulino leap.d. swung and lashed like an enraged Ibull. Mostly he missed, however, {and mostly he took a withering fire | of jabs to the face or sharp upper- | cuts that stung and dazed. | Schmeling fought with a cool, cal- | re suited to a veteran | | down sclf stymied by Paulino's awkward | defensive tactics in the first eight or nine rounds. The Spaniard showed a healthy respect for Schmeling's | {right. Tor round after round they !hored in. heads together. The crow |hooed in the upper gallery once |drifted into a chorus of “Swoet Adeline.” Whether or not. this an- | noyed Schmeling, he opened up with | both hands in the tenth*and quickly turned the fight into a bloody rovt.
