Speaking of Sports Jack Sharkey, the babbling Bos- ton gob, certainly never had any- thing on Bushy Graham for spout- ing before a bout. From the way the Utica featherweight has been talking about knocking Dnflllinfl.] world's featherweight champlon, out | within two or three rounds, it ap- pears that in Graham's mind, the fight is already over. We sometimes wonder when we hear fighters spout like Graham has since he arrived in Hartford last Sunday, whether they aren’t finding it necessary to keep talking in or- der to sustain their courage. Graham predicts he will knock out Battalino inside of three rounds. Well, he might. Anything is pos- sible. But, we figure that Battalino knows enough to avoid Graham’s cfforts to produce a sleep producing punch. In fact, there is a strong suspieion that Graham is beginning to fear that the champion is a lov better fighter than he has been rated. The fight tomorrow night is at- tracting widespread attention from fight customers and New Britain will be well represented. It would be a wise meve for fans in this city to secure their tickets immediately because the choice seats remaining, are few. Battalino s in wonderful shape right now. In fact, accerding to those who have been watching him work out, it has been a long tims since he has appeared to be as good as he is right now. Bat isn’t mak- ing any predictions about the fight. He generally doesn't predict wheth- er he will win or lose. He prefers to do his talking with his padded fists. Commissioner Thomas X .Dono- hue, one of the biggest figures in the boxing world in this country, put Graham’s manager right on the mat when that worthy demanded a ref- erec from out of the state. Com- missioner Donohue informed the Graham stable and the world at large that he was the boxing boss in this state and as such, he would name the referee for the fight. Stanley Isaacs, president of the National Boxing association, took up the cudgels for Graham in the mat. ter but he received the same an- swer as the Graham stable received. So, a Connecticut referec will be selected by Commissioner Donohue. The selection will mnoet be made known until just before the fight to- morrow night. Graham threatens to claim featherweight title if he wins to- morrow night. His contract calls for him to come in over thc feath- erweight limit of 126 pounds. He says he will come in at 125 and if he wins, he will declare that he is the world's champion. One thing necessary to give him the chance to claim the title, is for him to win tomorrow night's bout. Battalino will have somcthing to say about that. WITH THE BOWLERS ROGERS ALLEYS RECREATION LEAGUE Hoffman's Army & B Levy . Al Liciman Al Fightiin Linavors 545 505 ~+ Home Wet Wash L Cleelo ..

YANKEE STAGES, Inc. ct. {apt 00| | SGIENCE FINDS NEW GOLF BALL Expanding Center Said o Be| Most Progressive Step With the ever-increasing millions of dollars that are being poured into the game of golf in this coun- try, it is more than natural that science is being attracted as never before to devise new and better im- plements for the dub and expert. Cushioned clubs, putters that will do everything but sing Rudy Val- lee's “Maine Stein Song” and which come in shapes that would put to shame the average robust pretzel and the new larger, lighter ball, des- {tincd to become “official” next Jan. 11, are late products of the inventive | Yankee mind. Now comes the ex- panding center ball, claimed by its | manufacturers—an Ohio concern of repute—to be the most progressive step in golf ball construction in the last 10 years. Made in New Size The new pellet alrcady is being turned out exclusively in the size which is to become standard next year, 1.68 inches in diameter and 1.55 ounces in weight. It it docs what its creators ray it will, a count- less host of fairway habituals will rise up and call them blessed. Construction of the ball was be- gun morc than five years ago on the recognized premisc that the blows trom a golf club penetrate to the center of the sphere and that it is on the reaction, good or bad, at that point that the liveliness of the ball depends. To prove this beyond a doubt, a ball was made with a glass marble as its center. After being struck a timber of times it was taken apart The marble was pulverized as |though a hammer had been used on |t | Once this was established, | ventors set about devising a center {that would gain in resiliency instead | ot losc Liquid Center Adds Life Tixhaustive tests showed that gol: | balls lose their life rapidly | from 18 to 50 holes play. Some r |tain their original sprightlincss only for a single round, othcrs are able | to stand the impact of the club over {2 much longer route. All, however begin to go dead at some point or other and the deterioration s very rapld once it begins. The newly created ball, | Yiquid center, is sald to e |ferent from any other when it is \firsl teed up, but the longer it is |used the livelier it becomes. Tests {up to 100 holes and over have dem- | onstrated this to be so, the manu- facturer claims. However, he doesn't say how to | keep it from sinking out of sight in | perniclously located lakes and creeks |or from hiding away In the rough. | These are things science has yet to {tackle with any measure of succees.

They found ‘that hitting in- to the wind lost them more distance Wwith the new ball than with the old, but that with the wind at their backs the situation was reversed. Slices and hooks were accentuated but little, particularly iron ghots. On the greens, both admitted the new model might not hold to the line as well as its doomed brother, but they werce enthusiastic over its stroking qualities, declaring it had a much “sweeter” fecl when tapped by the blade of the putter than the spherc now in usc.
