Speaking of Sports The Stanley Rule & Levél base- ball team went to Bridgeport Sat- urday to play the American Tube & Stamping Co. team at Seaside Park. Rain stopped the game in the fourth inning with the Rulers in the lead, 2 to 0. As it continued to rain all day, it was found impossible to play the game out. Because of the rain and the dark outlook yesterday morning, only a few candidates showed up for ths | scheduled pr-ctice of the New Brit- | ain Blues football team at Willo.w Brook park. The team will practice tororrow night at 7:30 o'clock at Willow Brook park and all players and candidates are asked to be on hand. Accordjng to the report of the managers in charge ofs the basebail game played for the benefit of . Henry Laskowski, injured boy, at Willow . Brook park yesterday, the gate receipts were disappointing, with the result that there won't be much money poured into the fund to help Rim out in the expenses oc- curred. The crowd was slim but the weather had lots to de with the affair, | / Arrangements for a baseball game between the P. & F. Corbin team and the Stanley Rule & Level crew at Walnut Hill park tomorrow night, have been abandoned as a result of the refusal of the Corbin players 10 entertain the idea. Manager Joe Jackson was inter- viewed with regard to the matter and he said that he would consult the members df his team. WAs the game would be an extra encounter without any bearing on either the local situation or the state cham- piondhip race, the players would necessarily have to agree to play. Their answer was a definite refusal to play. The game would have meant nothing,one way or the other. It might have served for a good work- out for the Corbin team in the state geries and would certainly have gat- isfied the Rulers who ,have been clamoring for a contest ever since the Corbin team won its last game with them through Jaglowski's fluke home run. v Whether roller hockey 'will be played in this city this year or not depends a great deal on the attitude of the fans towards the game. Own- er Jack Arute, back Saturday from a road construction job in Massa- chusetts, has excellent prospects of securing a hall other than the Stan- ley Arena. He would like the roller polo fans of the city to express themselves through the medium of the Herald with regard to the game. Fans wanting the game can either writs or call in to the sports editor stat- ing whether they would like the gafle played here again this season. | Otherwise, the franchise abandoned. may be Owner Arute feels determined that he will keep the game here if he gets any kind of support from the public. In view of the industrial depres- sion, the lack of money and the general hard times, he has about decided to lower !he{pncea at the box office to 35 cents for general admission and 50 cents for reserved seats. This is only a tentative idea of his but will in all probability be put into effect. Expenses connected with the game have been lowered all along the line. The players' salaries havo been limited and in general expenses will be curtailed wherever possible. In view of this fact, Owner Arute feels that he should do his part to make it possible for the fans of the city to see the games in this citv, it he decides to go through with the present season. We would certainly liks, to ses the game kept in this city and we know of a good number of fans here Who have expressed themselves strongly Qn the subject within tho past week. We would suggest that every polo fan in the city write in and express their opinion on wheth- er the game should remain here or not. Either the state armory or the Tabs hall or probably both will be the scene of the greater part of the sports features to be staged here this winter. One good thing about tHe city is that there is no lack of halls in which the sports can be played. - At the present time, it hasn't been decided ‘whether one hall or the other will be selected. This will probably be decided upon in the very near future. Joins Ocgan Flier Associated Press Photo Harry E.

Springfield NICHOLS T0 SAIL WITH ENTERPRISE Expert Navigator to Be Member of Crew of Yacht By CORNELIUS VANDERBILT, JR. United Press Special Correspondent (Copyright 1930 by United Press) Aboard Steam Yacht Winchester, Newport, R. I, Sept. 15 (UP)—En- terprise is going out to race Sham- rock V today with every man on edge. There is no feeling in the crew or afterguard of Enterprise that the cup defense series is going to be a walkagvay. I understand on good authority that George Nichols, one of the fin- est navigators on the east coast, is going to sail with Harold Vander-. bilt today on Enterprise. If Har- old Vanderbilt has invited Nichols to £ail with him it means that Har- old's head hasn't swelled a bit and that he is glad to get the mature advice Nichols can give him. There is considerable belief that a lot of alteration has been made in the sail of the Enterprise over Sunday. On the other hand, Captain Heard of Shamtock isn't altering his sails or boat equipment, which is pretty good evidence that he is satisfled. It is my prediction that it Mon- day's breezk sends the vachts on a windward course, we wil] see them far apart soon after they leave each mark, and 1t is going to be difficult to tell who has the advantage ex- cept as they round the turns. That is important! because, although a professional yachtsman can figure mechanically on a chart just what the positions of the boats are going to be 15 minutes in advance, it is seldom done, the afterguard rely- ing on what they see to determina how they stand. If the yachts sep- arate and neither can rely on what he sees there'll be plenty of excite- ment as they approach the turning buoys. There is a fine feeling of sports- manship among the crews of the two yachts. Saturday when they passed rounding the turn in the race each crew cheered the other. There is a lot of rivalry, but no bitterness in this clean, saltwater sport. If there is a breeze today we'll see as fast a sport as exists and as close .competition' as there ever has been on this side of the Atlantic. Villanova college of Philadelphia will sport a 200 pound fullback in ada to England HAPLAN WORKING T0 MAKE WEIGHT Gonfident of Getting Down to 134 1-4 for Battalino Hartford, Sept. 15 — Kid Kaplan, | making ready for his battle with Bat Battalino, world’s featherweight champion at the Hurley stadium on Wednesday night, Sept. 24, plans a novel method of making the weight | required of him, 131 1-4 poufids. | Kaplan said yesterday that he is| down to 135 and that as soon as he | hits 182 will begin the movement| backward to pick up a couple of pounds. This done, he will start an | intensive campaign to move steadily down the scale to hit the point where he must be at weighing-in| time on the afternoon of the 24th. | By employing 'this plan, Louis fig- ures he will get the desired results | without doing himself any injury| and will also lessen the mental tax of ‘making a weight lower than the poundage at which he usually fights. | It he went down to 131 as rapidly as he could, he would be worried about staying there and also there would be some danger of going stale in the business of keeping his weight right to a fine point. Kaplan has been doing some box- ing at Hart's tourist camp on the Berlin turnpike and today will be- | gin a program which will caM, for eight rounds of boxing every day. He | Albert Leon, the Cuban now making | his home in Hartford, and Mickey Genaro, Waterbury featherweight. Battalino begins his training in earnest on Monday. The champion | in the afternoon will box at St. Nich- | olas gym where He prefers td do his training both winter and summer. Bat has gid himself of a heavy cold which he lugged back from De- | troit and is eager to get down to the hard grind.

OUT OUR WAY Braves—Stopped Card- ¢, Reichert Ends in Victo Wallingford Box Ace Loses Contest Through Wild- ness in Second Inning Mickey Noonan Scores A bit of wildness in the second inning by Frank Reichert, pitching ace of the Wallingford Lennox base- ball team, cost him a chance to score his eighth consecutive victory and spoiled Wallingford's oppor- tunity to score its eighth victory with Kensington as the victim. On the other hand, Kensington, with Paul Pechuk having a day on which he couldn't be touched, séored its 16th straight victory by the score of 1 to 0. Reichert, with two out in the sec- ond, walked two men, threw wildly into centerfield in an attempt to catch Noonan off secopd and the Kensington catcher reached home with the only run of the game. This was the first game of a home and home series between the two teams. Pechuk was brilliant and, al- though Reichert would have won ordinarily he was shaded by the |fast ball of the Kensington twirler. Kensington put two men on in the opening inning. Beagle whale out a triple during this time. This Yally |was killed. Barry got on in the sec- | |ond but was forced at second on Noonan's roller. Pechuk walked and Noonan took second. Walicki batting when Reichert whirled to throw to second. The peg was wild and Noonan scored. Pechuk tried to get in also but he was nailed at the | plate. Wallingford had three men on in the third but couldn't score. Berger- on made a great catch of an almost certain home run in this frame to kill Wallingford's chances. ‘Wallingford outhit Kensington § to 7.

A second touchdown scored | by the Triangles was disallowed by the referee who claimed the ball | carrier went out of bounds. This iclaim was disputed by the local |team.

The Triangles got ths | ball again on Meriden's 18-yard stripe on a fumblg and a pass, Me- | Cormick to Quarti, was completed. Quarti raced down the sidelines and | over the line.

Notre Dame and the Big Ten conference share the interest of “corn belt” football followers.

Rockne's team is scheduled play Southern Methodist, Navy Carnegie Tech, Pittsburgh, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Drake, Northwestern, Army and Southern California, with all the games exgept Pitt, Penn and Southern California to be play- ed in the middlewest.
