Speaking of Sports At a meeting last night between Johnny Cabay and Manager Eddie Moore of the Kensington baseball team, a series of games to start next Sunday afternoon in Kensington, was arranged. A combination of players to be known as the Fifth Ward All-Stars will play the regular Kensington combipation. For some time past, efforts were being made to have Kensington and one of the teams in this city meet in a serigs of games but because of prior dates, the series never reached a state of realization. The two men got together last night and they will | furnish the feature for” the coming | ‘week-end. The series between the Old Tim- ers and the Young Timers which was started last Sunday with a game at Willow Brook park, has appar- ently passed into the discard. The first bowling match locally in the newly organized State Bowl- ing League will be rolled tonight at Rogers Recreation Alleys when Rogers Recreation Five meets the Woosters Five of Waterbury. These' two teams met last Monday night in ‘Waterbury and New Britain copped two out of three games. On their home alleys, the locals expect to do much better. Two girls' teams got into action last night for the first time this sea- son. Six teams started in the North & Judd Girls’ League and six other teams began play in the Stanley Rule & Level Girls' circuit. The Sharkey-Campolo fight at the Yankee Stadium in New York to- morrow night, will be announced round by round from the windows of the Herald. The battle is sched- uled to go on sometime between 9:30 and 10 o'clock. From present appearances, it looks like a sell out at the Kaplan- Battalino fight in Hartford tonight. Word has been passed around in certain circles that there is some- thing funny about the bout but Kaplan's attitude towards fixed bouts is too well known for anyone really interested to take much stock in it We have already picked Kaplan fs the winner. In truth, we feel that Battalino hasn't any place in the same ring with the former feather- weight champion. Making the weight of 131 1-4 pounds may weak- | en Kaplan considerably but there wasn't anything weak about his ac- tions at his training quarters at Hart's place on the Hartford-Berlin turnpike. On the other hand, Battalino has given the appearance of being stronger and better than ever be- fore. He has been going like & house afire against his sparring mates and he exudes confidence in every move- ment. Many local fans-paid a quar- ter to see him work out at his quarters in Hartford. Fighters in training sometimes appear to be at the heighth of form and then they are just the opposite in the ring during a bout. Condition sometimes doesn’t show itself on the surface. However, tonight of all nights, Battalino will have to be cautious. ‘We confidently expect to see the protective belt that has surrounded the featherweight champion in his battles in his home town, shattered by Kaplan Of course, all our dope may be out of order but if it is, then we will be greatly surprised. FIGHTS LAST NIGHT the Associated Press. Indianapolis—Happy Alhe!'t?n, Indianapolis, outpointed Black Bill, Cuba, (10). Dog Field Trials Will Be Held in New Haven Conn-cticut sportsmen are invited to enter iaeir dogs in the annual field trials of the New Haven Fish and Game Association to be held next Saturday, starting at 1 o'clock, at the game farm of Dr. George C. Fahy in Clinton. Bird work will be on pheasants. There will be events for dogs never before competing and for the more experienced pointers and setters. Roads will be posted from the Clinton traffic light. Fred Brooks of Hadlyme will be field judge. The trials are sanctioned by the Connecticut Fish and Game Commission. By CAPTAIN ON SIDELINES State College, Pa., Sept. 24 P— For the third time in as many years, Penn State will open the foot- ball season on Saturday with its captain on the sidelines. Captain Frank Diedrich suffered an injury to his right eye in scrimmage Yes- terday and will not be able to play in the opening game. M'CALL SLIGHTLY HURT Hanover, N. H., Sept. 24 (UP)— Bill McCall, first string quarterback and one of Dartmouth's best ground gainers, was slightly hurt during scrimmage yesterday. The fine defensive work of Eddie O'Connor at right tackle pleased the coaches. No one seems to remember the “Water Bucket” which formerly was tacked on the name of Al Simmons. Simmons has made a virtue of what formerly was considered a bad bat- ting fault. Drawing away slightly from the plate, with his powerful shoulder swing he can and does hit any kind of ball, as is attested to by his heavy batting average. Joe Boley, shortstop, only one sea- son has been able to hit as well with the Athletics as he did with Balti- more. Baseball men think he left a part of his major league career in Baltimore before any big league manager would part with the money necessary for his release. His fine fielding keeps him in the lineup.

Baldwin, Ted Hart and Bill | Sweeney, Shuttle Meadow golfers, | have found a place on the pages of Grantland's annual record book. Mr. Baldwin is listed as' making a hole-in-one, June 6, 1929 and W. J. | Sweeney's ace, scored in the one day | state tournament, July 9, 1929, is recorded among the long list of tee | shots that found the cup last year. There are 1287 holes-in-one item- ized as to the players’ names, the | {number and length of the holes, the date and the name of the courses on which they were scored. The two lo- cal ace scorers are included among this number. | | Ted Hart, champion of Shuttle Meadow for the past three years, rated a separate paragraph under the caption, “An Odad Score.” It reads, “Ted S. Hart, 1928 champion of the Shuttle Meadow club, New Britain, Conn., won the final of the 1929 tournament by taking the {match in 27 holes, of what was to have been a 36 hole match, by scor- ing 35, 35, 35. Par is 37-34-71. The Herald will see that Noah Lucas' hole-in-one, and Bob McCon- nell’s ace, scored this season are sent in to Rice for inclusion in next year's golf gulde book. Also any other duly attested singletons, made on local courses, if sent in to the sports editor will be forwarded in | time for publication in the 1931 book. The craze for peewee golt has been the means of opening up several in- teresting questions. There is the le- gal question of play on the minia- ture courses on Sunday being a vio- lation of existing laws. In several cities arrests have been made on this score. Since Sunday play on regular courses is not interfered with, it may be assumed that the authorities classify city lot golf as an amuse- ment on a par with the movies. But this is not a general assump- tion. The United States Golf asso- ciation, that august ruling body of the ancient and royal game in this country has ruled lately that anyone | | who instructs on a miniature course | loses his amateur standing. So much | for that. On the other hand, the little | courses are not rated as golf links | by the Professional Golfers’ associa- | tion and the “pros” who pass out| | the putters and balls at the indoor | or outdoor miniatures are not elig- ible for membership in the profes. sional organization. And that is that. Until there 4s a more universal definition of the new species of game, one cannot be sure whether I'he is professional golfer or not if he is handed a five dollar gold piece for his low score on the putting courses. Right now, by the ruling of the governing body of golf des- tiny, this custom of glving money prizes to players is raising a new crop of professional golfers and a howl is due to be raised from the golf purists when they find it out. As sure as shooting par, the state legislatures are soon going to be asked to pass laws regulating the new form of amusement and the U. S. Golf association may have to re- lent and modify its present ruling. Meanwhile no space will be devot- ed to it on the sporting pages of newspapers where it is considered simply as a commercial enterprise. INT . PRACTICE Providence, R. I, Sept. 24 (UP)— Brown is practicing intensively for Saturday's game with Rhode Island State, which already has played two games, against Arnold and Coast Guard. Bennett Nelson Merchant Tailoring 55 West, Main Street e SHARKEY-CAMPOLO FIGHT TOMORROW Madison Square Officials Expect to Take a Big Loss New York, Sept. 24 (P—Officials o':\lad&son Square Garden are hop- ing for the best but are fully pre- pared to take a big loss on the 15- round bout they are promoting be- tween Jack Sharkey and Victorio Campolo at the Yankee Stadium Thursday night. All efforts to arouse a long-suffer- ing boxing public to the merits, whatever they may be, of the, bout have failed and present indications are the “gate” will not exceed the $100,000 guaranteed Sharkey. The Garden may be pleasantly surprised | by a last minute rush of business| that will boost the receipts a bit, but | it hardly seems likely. Sharkey, who climaxed a series| of disappointing performances by fouling Max Schmeling, seems to have lost all of his one-time powers as a drawing card. Campolo, in the few battles he has had in this coun- try, has gained no hold on popular imagination. The Boston sailor, despite a leth- argic training campaign, rules a 2 to 1 favorite to beat back the big Argentine. Campolo hand and no one has doubted his courage but he seems too awkward | and slow to hold Sharkey on any- thing approaching even terms. His only chance for victory, in short, ap- | pears to lie in the landing of one of | those devastating right hands. The state athletic commission has temporarily lifted . the suspension placed on Johnny Buckley, Sharkey's manager, so that Buckley may act as second for Sharkey Thursday night. The suspension, imposed in accordance with similar action in Rhode Island, will be operative again after the Campolo bout. Reversing a previous stand, the | Garden announced the fight would | be broadcast through station WEAF of the National Broadcasting com- pany. ENTERPRISE MAY RACE Conqueror of Sir Thomas Lipton's Yacht Invited to Mect Thebaud in Informal Serfes. Gloucester, Mass., Sept. 24 (UP)— Tha Gloucester schooner Gertrude L.

Vanderbilt of th> Enterprise to match his sloop against the fisherman, which s skippered by Ben Pine. The Thebaud was to make a trial run under full sail for the first time today. PRACTICE AT YALE First String Line Reports For ‘Workouts After a One-Day Holi- day—Stress Forward Passing. New Haven, Sept. 24 (UP)—The so-called first string line of Yale's football team reported back for practice at the bowl today after a one-day holiday. Most of yesterday's | practice sesston was devoted to backfleld plays, particular stress be- | ing placed on forward passing. The athletic association an- | nounced that John F. Goodman, '30, has been appointed a regular mem- ber of the football coaching staff. VICTIM OF COMEBACK s | Santiago Zorilla of Panama Falls | Before Onslaught of Tod Morgan, | Former Champion, Seattle, Wash., Sept. 24 (P)—San- lago Zorilla of Panama is the most | recent victim of the comeback cam- paign of Tod Morgan, Seattle, former junior lightweight champion. Morgan won a close decision over Zorilla in an eight round fight here last night. Zorilla took an early lead by baffling the former cham- pion with a fast, two handed at- tack. Morgan made a slugging comeback in the last rounds to gain the decision. | WALKER VS. SWIDERSKI Newark, N.

Hartford Sept. 24 — The only Connecticut boxers ever to wear the ermine and purple of a world's champion—Bat Battalino, the pres- ent featherweight champion and Louis (Kid) Kaplan, his predecesgor on that throne, clash tonight under the flaming, lamps at the big Hurley stadium in East Hartford. No bout in the history of this rug- ged sport in the Nutmeg state has stirred as much interest as this meeting between . the hard-hitting titleholder and the rough and ag- gressive Kaplan. Promoter Ed Hurley, basing 'his‘ estimate on an unprecedented ad- vance sale, predicts a gallery well in | excess of 15,000 and a gate that will ride over $50,000 and may exceed the Kaplan-Herman gate at Water- bury, which fell just short of $60,- 000, setting a New England record | 4 which has stood. Connecticut fight lovers from every city and hamlet in thq state will be on hand and there will be a rotable attendance of men promi- nent in the official and business life | of Connecticut, headed by Governor Trumbull and Lieut. Governor Ro- gers who will occupy two boxes at ringside along with other state offi- cials. This battle, which was well more | than a year in the making, creates a unique situation: First of all it brings together a champlon and an ex-champion; then they are fellow townsmen and each has been a fer- vent booster for the other, more persistent for Battalino in his .

The question of whether Kaplan can make 131 1-4 pounds and be strong and fast is the only disturb- ing factor as Kaplan rooters pick him to beat the titleholder.

Battalino is expected to weigh around 129, so the margin will not be great though Kaplan will pick up more weight than the champion in the interim between the weighing-in and ring time, Matchmaker Ed Hurley has a ranged an undercard made up of five G-rounders, all calling into ac- tion small boys — lightweights, featlerweights and bantams.

S, Health Department Points Out Recent Progress | Washington, Sept, 24 (P—Sum- moned by Chinese authorities to combat beginnings of bubonic plague epidemic in Shansi and Shen- si provinces, Missionary Dr. Percy T Watson need not fear the relentless spread which made a whole world panicky in plague past. For bubonic plague, still the most important disease foe from an | international standpoint, has felt the strong curbing power of the public health services of all nations. Plague Not Likely Surgeo.. General Hugh S. Cum- ming, of the public health service, today said the bubonic plague pan- demic of some 40 years ago, In which about 25,000,000 people died, was not likely to be repeated be- cause of preventive measures which have been taken. All maritime quarantines, pointed out, are directed prima against bubonic plague. still prevalent that the infection was reported present during the past ar in all the great divisions of the world but Australia. Plague control methods, he said, center on the rat that transmits the | disease. chiefly the large Norway rat, a traveller. Inspections of cargo and crews,' perlodic fumigation of vessels from plague infested parts of the world, and unceasing vigilance in rat destruction are among the maritime qurantine measures to maritime introduction of the disease. Warnings of outbreaks likely to| spread are furnished all nations | through the international office of | public hygiene with headquarters in | Paris.

The name “STRADIVARIUS” on a violin immortalizes a master crafts- man who lived true to his ideals Making a cigar of the finest quality was the ideal upon which in 1874, at Maachester, N. H., Roger G. Sullie van—starting with one cigar maker—founded 7-20-4. Today because of its ideal quality, 7-20-4 has grown to the largest hand-made cigar industry in the World, Qu.a!ity workmanship and the finest tobaccos are trae ditional with 7-20-4. The unswerving tenet of ita founder—to keep faith with the public—has remained un;hgnged for over half a century.
