Speaking of Sports ‘We have been hearing morc about handball in the last few days than we have heard about the game in years. This fellow and that fellow has taken it upon himself to name the best 10 players at the Y. M. C. A. and each believes that his selec- tions are the right ones. Now, as an outsider who has no interest in any of these players and from what we judge is an unbiased opinion, we are going to express our ideas of just what should be done with regard #o a settlement of this affair. The general rule in sports )s! that all questions of supremacy are settied on the field of honor. Whether this field of honor is the boxing ring, the basketball courts, the 'football field, the baseball dia- mond or the waters of the deep for | yacht. races, makes no ditference. The settlement of sports supremacy can be arrived at only through a | contest on the particular field of sport. Handball is no exception. | Supremacy in handball cannot be | settled in the newspaper columns. It must be settled on the handball courts. | | | | Strong talk and plenty of gas} mever won a championship and we | believe these handball experts, so called, have more gas than de- votees of any other kind of sport. We suggest and,for the benefit of the public and the players them- selves, that a singles tournament be arranged immediately, that all play- ers who figure that they have a look | in in singles enter and that records be kept and the first 10 players be established. The selections we have had sub- | mitted to us within the past week all seem to include only those play- | ers who Indulge in the sport during the day. What about the legion of players who spend their evinings on the courts? Are they to be counted in? These fellows have never met the afternoon players. Most probably there are any number of these fel- lows who are far ~and above the | average player in the 4 to 6 o'clock class. A tournament will set the argu- | ments at rest for once and all. 1t will | also enable Bill Mangan, Charlie Hawkins and the members of (hu‘ Herald sports staff to get enough | sleep without being bothered with telephone calls of every description. We think that the time is ripe just now for a singles tournament and we hope that Joe Hergstrom will get going. Sam Huston, | manager of the Bristol Maple Ends, would like to get in touch with the manager of the New Britain Triangles for an open- ing game of football for his team. He asks the local man to telephone him at Bristol 500 during business hours. The Pawnees will practice tonight at 6:30 o'clock at Willow Brook park. All players are urged to be present as this will be the last prac- tice before the game Sunday and Coach Rice has several more plays to work up. c Numbers of fight fans have ex- pressed themselves as being of the | opinion that the Battalino-Kaplan | bout might not be all that is ex- | peoted of it. Those in on the know | predict that it will be one of the best battles scen in a Connecticut ring in some time. Kaplan will make the weight eas- ily. He has to come in at 131 14¢ pounds and he madet 131 the day before yesterday. Fans who would like to see him in action can easily take a run over to Jack Hart's place on the Hartford-Berlin turnpike and watch him box every afternoon. Kaplan is by far the favorite but whether the odds will be shortened Baseball Standing AMERICAN LEAGUE Games Yesterday St. Louis 3, New York 8. Chicago 4, Philadelphia 2.

PRINO ENDS TOUR WITH KNOCKOUT Jack Gross Is 23rd American Heavyweight on Victim List Chicago, Sept. 18 (P—Primo Car- nera has finished his conquest among American heavyweights with ar average of 1.000 per cent, and an extremely healthy bankroll. The Italian behemoth last night | nominated and elected Jack Gross a Jewish heavy from Philadelphia, a3 knockout victim number 23, ac- | complishing the business in less than four rounds. Carnera’s board of managers tald the bout was his last in America, and that he would sail for Italy October 11. About the only difference between Gross and Carnera’s other opponents was that the Philadelphian did his fighting left-handed. fTc tried hard, but, outweighed by 67 pounds he didn’t have a chance.

SATURDAY IS QUALIFYING DAY AT SHUTTLE MEADOW SHAWROCK MUST " WIN FOUR RACES Enterprise Has One More Vic- tory to Score to Win Cup Newport, R. I, Sept. 18 (A—A very irksome knot in the British liop’s tail had been drawn a bit tighter today as Shamrock V, Sir Thomas Lipton’s challenger for Harold 8. Vanderbilt's defender, ! went out to the starting line for the fourth race. | The three races already sailed in the cup series have all gone to the defender, and if Enterprise should ! win today the cup likely will re- | main in America forever, unless the terms of competition are changed. | The defender scored a clean cut | victory Saturday and Monday. Yes- terday Shamrock V was forced out | of the third race, soon after it| started, - when her main halyard | parted and Enterprise continued on ' over the course, fulfilling terms of | competition and scoring her third straight victory. | In order to attain the virtual impossible and lift the cup Sham- rock would have to take four| straight races, and no one believes | {Harold Vanderbilt and Enterprise are likely to lose that many sailing | contests against the green sloop. | Sir Thomas, the eighty year old | Irish sportsman, is making his fifth attempt in about thirty years to untangle ‘the knot tied in the lion's tail back in 1851. It was in that year that the schooner yacht Amer- ica whipped a fleet of Britain's| fastest yachts in a race around the | Isle of Wight and brought to this country a trophy that has since borne her name and represented in- ternational yachting supremacy. It is the fourteenth attempt made by British and Canadian yachtsmen to lift the famous trophy. There were some among the spectators of vesterday's race who | thought it would be declared no | contest when Shamrock was dls»i abléd. But they were little acquaint- ed with jachting custom or the rules governing yacht races. A yacht race is just as much a test of the| strength and stability of a boat as | the crew salling her. Obviously Vanderbilt had no reason for drop- | ping out of the ras: because Sham- rock was unable to continue the | This point can be more firmly | | asserted when it is considered that| one of the adverse criticisms voiced | against the terms of compeli!lon! has been that Shamrock, a cruising | boat, is forced to meet a boat which |has been, rightly or wrongly, de- scribed as a racing machine. Yesterday It was the crulsing | boat that cracked under a 15 mile breeze and not the racing machine. Beaufort's scale, the time honored | measure of winds, lists a 15 mile breeze as “moderate.” There were spectators thought Vanderbilt should have | | withdrawn yesterday when Sham- | rock was disabled, but he was not | privileged to do so. The defe | of the America’s cup has been en- | trusted to him and however favor- able sentiment may be for he aged | sportsman who sent Shamrock | across the sea, it was \'anderb&ll's‘ who | duty to protect the trophy. Nor was it as though Shamrock | | had been robbed of victory (hrough‘ the accident of her rigging. She had | over the starting line in af | commanding position between the wind and Enterprise, but she had | not held that advantage. When the| | wire halyard parted and let down| | her mainsgil, she already had vield- | ed the widdward position to the de- | fender and Enterprise was steadily | gaining. | Shamrock's crew gave a fine ex-| | hibition of seamanship while she| | remained in the race, but it was| never more closely demonstrated that Enterprise is the better boat| Her crew had already formed that| opinion before the race started, but | they were making a last desperate | hard fought battle to cheer the old Irish baronet. | Sir Thomas spent a million dol- | lars on his last invasion and no onc attached to the Shamrock believes | gone | Annual Handicap Event for President’s Cup Will Be | Started This Week — Full Entry List Is Expected by Committee in Charge—Players Will Be Matched in 18-Hole Events—Finals to Take Place Sunday, September 28—Allow No Postponements. BY JIGGER Saturday will be qualifying day at the America's cup and Enterprise, | Shuttle Meadow for the President's | medal trophy. Eighteen holes of play with full handicaps will consti- tute the qualifying round. Entries will be recelved at the first tee by the tournament committee. Until this sedson the annua® hand- icap eveut has been played in June. Its date was shifted so that the players of moderate ability would have all the season to work their games up to a concert pitch. On the basis of the recent scores of the veferans, it would appear that the object of the committee has been attained and it is expected that a full entry list will be received. Sixteen of the lowest scorerd” will ay for the cup and additional 165 will be made up with prizes offered to the winners of the lesser flights. For the first flight, there will be trophies offered to the runner-up and to the players turning in the low gross and the low net scores. Qualiffers in each flight will be matched and will quarters the handicaps difference of their Thursday, Friday and play with three- | Saturday of next week in 18-hole | matches. The finals will be run off Sunday, September 28 at 36 holes. In the flight for the President's trophy no postponements will be al- { 1owed and rain or shine, the matches will be run on schedule. In the other flights somg leeway will be allowed town on the playing dates. It is ex- pected that the entige tournament will be completed by October 1. All handicaps were scrutinized yesterday by the | mittee and several were lowered on the basis of the scoring ability re- cently displayed by the members. Saturday the players will tee off un- der as nearly equal chances as it is humanly possible to arrange a | handicap tournament. Last season the event was won by | Howard S. Humphrey, who beat Ted | Hart one up. This year no one player | stands out a particular favorite. Al- most all of the frequent players are | scoring better than in several years. Anything may happen field gets into action in the matches next week. BASEBALL TEAMS TO ‘PLAY PROTESTED GAME FRIDAY Opponent of P. & F.
