Speaking of Sports The Universal Club Bowling lea- Buc opened the season last night at Rogers Recreation alleys and some good scores were rolled by Arel, Franks, Dahlstrom, Seifels and Kozuck. One of the best state bowling lea- gues is ready to start.

A game of soccer football will be played at Willow Brook park to- morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock be- tween the Swedish American A. C. of this city and Pratt & Whitney's team of Hartford. Speculation regarding the prob- able winner of the Kaplan-Batta- lino battle in Hartford Wednesday night of next week, has set the box- ing fans all agog. The majority of the followers of the ring sport are favoring -Battalino. We figure that there is more than one chance that there will be a knockout in the battle, 4 Two local teams are all set to start the football season off right tomorrow. The Triangles go to Wal- lingford and the Pawnees go to Holyoke. New Britain's professional foot- ball team starts practice sessions tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock at Willow Brook park. All candidates are asked to start out. The team will travel under the name of the Rams this season.

Philadelphia, Sept. Grove, the greatest left-hander in the game since the days of Eddie Plank and Rube Waddell, is having the greatest season of his career in pitching the champion Athletics to a second consecutive pemnant With more than two weeks of the campaign yet to go, Grove had won 26 games, while losing 5. The most games he ever won in a single season previously was in 1923 with Baltimore in the International lcague. He won 27 games, but had 10 losses marked up against him. Grove's added efforts this year have been the most vital factor in the club's long fight to shake off the Washington Senators. Rube Walberg, Connie Mack's other great southpaw, has devel- oped a bad case of nerves this sea- son, and has been unable to pitch better than .500 ball. Last year the Macks coasted into a pennant with Grove winning only 20 games. Grove came up to the Athletics in 1925 at a price of $105,000. Hc never really made good until 1 He was unable to conttol effective: ly his speed ball the first three years. He also had difficulty field- ing his position. Grove's blinding speed is one of the arguments advanced against night baseball in the majors. Ball players have no vyen to stand up there at night with such speed balls buzzing past. Grove is one of the most untem- cramental southpaws ever to wo in the big leagues.

The national amateur champion- ship will be played at the Merion Cricket club, where in 1916 a boy first dazzled thg nation by his skill, and where in 1 that boy, become a young mdn, first won the national amateur championship after many disappointments. Having won the | British amateur and open and the | American open already this year, Bobby has a chance to be the first | to wear the quadruple crown. | Qualifying play of 36 holes, one | round Monday and another Tues- day, will determine 32 participants in match play. There will be two match play rounds at 18 holes Wed- nesday and thereafter 36-hole rounds, with the final on next Sat- urday. Bobby fears nothing muCht except the 18-hole matches. Bobby slipped away yesterday, primarily to escape the cager eyed galleryites, and shot a round at the Pine Valley club in New Jersey| Lbut his program today called for a| final tuning up over the Merion championship east course. | The mere statement that Bobby.| was to practice at Merion was suf- | ficlent to create plenty of interest, | but his appearance late today will| be more glamorous because he is| to play in a foursome that will in-| clude the present United States amateur champion and two former holders of the crown. | Paired with Harrison R. (Jim-| my) Johnston, who will defend the | national championship in the im-| pending “big show,” Jones is to |compete against ss Sweetser, champion in 1922, and Max Mar- | ston, titleholder in 1923. The famed | foursome is to tee off at 2:30 p. m,, and extra precautions have been | taken to limit the size of the gal- |lery so the big four may have a chance to get in €ome real practice.

One of these was Jesse Guilford, Boston's terrific| driver, who lifted the national champlonship in 1921. The former farmer boy's score was noteworthy | because it was his first trip around the Merion course in six vears. The | two others who achieved totals of one stroke better than theoretical | perfection were George Von Elm, \ Los Angeles, and Francis Brown, the “flying Hawaiian,” who holds the Hawalian, the Japanese and the California amateur titles. Champion *“Jimmy” Johnston notched two 73s, one in the morn- ing and the other in the afternoon. Down at Pine Valley Jones, pair- ed with Dale Bourn, Britisi star, lost a best ball match to Jess Sweet- ser and Cyril Tolley by the margin of one hole. Bobby was out in 38, over par.

Edwards, ‘A. erican league statistician. Edwards' outline of the season |shows that every team except New | York and St. Louis was on top or shaped the lead at least once during the campaign. Boston was up there briefly when the Red Sox defeated Washington in the opening game, which was played a day ahead of schedule. Philadelphia and Detroit were tied lon April 15, and two days later Chi- | cago had joined the A's and Tigers. | April 18 Detroit fell, leaving the | Athletics and Chicago tied, but the | next day Connie Mack’s club was }alont. | Philadelphia remained in the lead |until April 25 when Washington |made its first bid.

Philadelphia ! regained the lead June 15, lost it back to Washington July 17, but firally made the grade for Keeps July 13. LITTLE WORLD SERIES Coloncls From Louisville Will Rep- reseat American Association Against Rochester. Chicago, Sept. 20 (#—The sur- prising Colonels from Louisville, Ky., will represent the American Association in the “little world scries” against Rochester of the [nternational League, starting next Wednesday at Rochester. Even though they lost to In- lianapolis yesterday, the Colonels became 1930 champions of the asso- ciation, as the second place St. Paul club dropped a game to Kan- sas City, last year's title winner. Louisville, directed for the second year by Al Sothoron was not regard | ed as anything better than a possi- bility for fourth place when the sea- son opened. Within two weeks, however, the Colonels were out in front and remained there. Louisville's margin today wae three games, with only two gamer |left on its schedule. St. Paul haé \fl‘,rco but no chance of coming any closer than one-half game of the Colonels. 'OUT OUR WAY OH) SMASHED Your FooT HOH?

Both Grammitt and Steinle have worked out at fullback with honors even so far.

Franks and Miriliani have been | showing up well at the end posts and look like likely men. Gram- mitt had been stationed at one of the ends until shifted to the back- field. This season’s practices have been featured by the outstanding play of new men, among them Franks, Mir- ilianj, and Griffin. Franks is learn- ing fast at the end position and can handle himself well. Miriliani is fast and has been tried at sev- eral positions in an effort to find a berth for him. No one seems to be able to hurt him, he is so wiry. e FIGHTS LAST N]GHT, By_the Assaciated Press.
