H . Speaking of Sports There will be an important meet- ing of the members of the Sokol baseball féam tomorrow night at 8 o'clock at the club rooms at North and Sexton streets. The session is called to have a discussion on a ser- ies of baseball games to be played between’two all-star teams. The scheduled meeting at the Re- publican A. C. rooms of a list of baseball players last night was held. Not many attended but those who were present were in favor of stag- ing a series of games. There are still a few Sundays left on which baseball can be played and those who have been cavorting on the dia- mond all season, would like to keep going as long as possible. The tentative plans for the series call for a game at Willow Brook park this' coming Sunday. Two teams will be formed, one composed of veteran players and the other of youths. In other words, it will be a case of age against youth in the series. The. Sacred Hearts will probably play another game this coming Sun- day, despite the announced inten- tion of Manager Val Gay to close up for the season. Manager Gay Yesterday announced that his team wag done for the year but in th2 meantime, he has received an offer from Glastonbury for a game and he will probably accept for Sunday afternoon. The announcement today tha Louis (Kid) Kaplan, former world's featherweight champlon, had scaled 131 pounds at his training quarters at Hart's camp on the Berlin-Hart- ford turnpike yesterday, was receiv- ed with a grain of salt in many quarters. Although we were not present at the weighing time yester- day afternoon, we were informed by another this morning that he saw the weight and it was exactly 131 pounds. In view of this, Kaplan will eas- 1ly be in great shape for his go with Bat Battalino next Wednesday night. He should be strong and capable and already he is the favorite to beat Battalino when they clash. Just what the bout will decide is a mystery to everyone who is fol- lowing the two fighters. A great number of the fans are satisfied that Battalino is a “cheese champion” or a “cream puff champ” as they term him in New York. Most of his friends have deserted him and tke raucous razzberries have supplant- ed the cheers that he once used to | hear. If Battalino can beat Kaplan and if he does beat him next Wednesday night, it will be a big surprise to most of the fight fans. Handball has plenty of its follow- ers all het up especially in view of the lists of the 10 best players pub- lihed. Numbers of others have given in their selections but Pete Perakos offers the best suggestion | and that is to have the argument settled on the handball courts. BOXING ASSOCIATION MAKES DRASTIC RULE Professional Aftiliated With Organization Cannot Battle Oustide Neb., Sept. 17 (UP)— Professional boxers affiliated with the Ngtional Boxing association can no longer engage in matches in states not connected with the organ- ization, it was decided by the as- sociation in convention here. The ruling was made in an effort to “eliminate domination of boxing by the Naw York, Pennsylvania and California Boxing commissions,” and was expected to aid in bring- ing all professional boxing matches under control of the N. B. A. “The National Boxing asociation has approached a point where it should control boxing rather than have the sport dominated by various state commissions,” Stanley Isaacs, president, said. The convention decided to sev- er all conections with professional wrestling, and a separate organi- zation was formed to control and promote the mat sport. John B. McClinnins was elected president for 1931. James M. Brown, Michigan, was made ffirst vice president, and Ben Fighters Omaha, of €hicago B. Jacobs, New Jersey, second vice | president. Ira Yorheis, Nebraska, was elected treasurer. H. J. Landry, elected fourth vice president of the boxing association, was named president of the newly- formed National Wrestling associa- tion. Ball Game Dispute Ends In Death of School Boy Chicago, Sept. 17 (@—Such a trivial thing as whether Michael Kryeowsky, 15, was out at second base in a schoolboys' ball game led to the death of Joseph Czarnek yes- terday. The two boys fought with fists to gettle the: dispute. Czarnek fell and was pronounced dead. An inquest has been ordered. CIRCUS MAN DIES Willimantic, Sept. 17.—(#—Word was received here today of the death of Albert E. Green, 40, at Waycross, Ga., winter headquarters of Sparks Brothers Cicus, with which he had been connected for the past 16 years as an advertising man and ring announcer.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1930. WLARNIN T0 SEE BOUT WEDNESDAY, Jimmy Will Watch Kaplan and ' Battalino in Action Hartford, Sept. 17—Jimmy Mc- Larnin, who spread sorrow through- out the Bronx last week by slam- | ming Al Singer into ‘slumberland, | will attend the Battalino-Kaplan | ten-round battle at the Hurley sta- | dium next Wednesduy night, accord- ing to Lou Brix of New York who does Kaplan's business now that Billy Gibson has been sent to the feidelines by illness. McLarnin has become a very popular and prominent figure in the ring,world since he kayoed the new lightweight champion and is m great demand at boxing shows and at dinners and like events in New | York where he is making his head- quarters for a while. For a few days following the Singer bout, Jimmy walked around New York with crowds of fans in his wake and he was a great hero with the New York coppers because Jimmy is like most of them, a son ot | Erin. McLarnin and Kaplan are friends from well back—to be explicit, Oc- tober 1927, when Jimmy drove Kap- lan into the dust for the full count. That was a great battle: McLarnin had been down twice and was as- similating quite . beating when he unleashed a right that hurt Kaplan and paved the way for the knock- out. It happened in Chicago wherc almost anything is apt to happen, and it was the second knockout of Kaplan's busy career. Billy Wal-| lace had Scored the first but a short | time before. Jimmy McLarnin recefjtly paid | tribute to Kaplan as the “toughest | boy” he had ever met. He was talk- | ing to a New York newspaperman | of the long line of battlers he had | met in the ring and he made it em- | phatic that the Hartford lightwelght | was the one to give him his hard- | est battle. | Kaplan's relentless aggressiveness | and his in-fighting make him one | of the most difficult of boxers to pcP at bay in McLarnin's opinion. | Battalino and Kaplan are putting | in hard licks every day as the days | they come together in the Hurley | |stadium for this interesting [ between a present and a form: champion. | Kaplan works out every afternoon at 230 at Hart's tourist camp on | the Berlin turnpike and is gradually | moving down the weight scale. Ba: {talino is doing his work at the St.| | Nicholas gym. Both hit the roal early each morning. | Battalino and Kaplan will face the “mike” at WTIC Thursday night at |8 o'clock to discuss the forthcoming | battle.

M.|Charles F. Hughes hauled down his flag as chief of naval operations to- day to make way for direction of naval policy by the chief supporter of the London treaty, Admiral Wil- liam V. Pratt. Because preparation for sion to congress of a navy building program to fit the terms of treaty must be tackled within the next few weeks, Hughes voluntarily submis- chose to surrender the highest post | n the service a month ahead of the ate when his age, 64, would have forced him to stand down. Sided With Conservatives Hughes sided generally with the | more conservative element in the navy's high command which dd not favor the treaty. His successor, chosen for the post, immediately aft- er his return from London as chief naval adviser to the American dele- | gation has stood four-square by the pact “Give me that navy and I would- n't swap it for any,” Pratt told a on the treaty. Another change also occurred to- with Rear Admiral John Hal- Jr., becoming assistant chief of operations. He will relieve Rear Admiral Willlam H. Tandley, who ssumes command of the destroyer squadron of the battle fieet on the Pacific. The post of chief of naval opera- tions will be taken over October 6 by Admiral Jehu V. Chase.
