Speaking of Sports New Yorkers are saying that the resignation o James A, Farley, box- ing chairman, will strike a heavy blow at boxing. Gotham's fight game hasn't seen a heavy blow struck 1n years and it is doubtful it it would recognize one, unless it were low. More than a million applicants are maid to be after the post Farley would vacate. Seems rather queer, too. for the office pays no salary. A few weeks ago the promoters called off the Sharkey-Campolo fight permanently. Well, the fight fans dcserve some kind of a break after all these years. The promoters will be calling oft more fights this win- ter, ‘too. Promoters do not like to give private showings. Lou Little is using psychology to win football games for dear old Columbfa. A couple of 200 pound guards would help slightly, too. Two hot rivals in last year's in- dustrial basketball league are pre- paring for the season that will open next month. Stanley Rule quintet has been practicing a week. The en- tire team that was defeated in the playoff last year is ready for action. Hal Carlson who was on the Stanley Works team has transferred to the Rule shop division. The Corbin Screw team will have the same quintet that has won the industrial title for the past two years. It starts practice next week. Jimmy Murphy, Stanley Rule coach, has produced a runner up for basketball and baseball this year. He hopes to take the big step to first place in both sports in 1931. So Joe McCarthy will not talk terms with the Boston Red Sox. That isn't is a term, it's a sentence. Hornsby now 11l be managing the Cubs. That isn't as great a promotion as you might think, how- ever. He has been managing part of the Cubs nearly all season. W Some fellow predicted that when Wrigley bought Hornsby from TBos- ton two years ago, he was inviting trouble. But of course that turned cut wrong. We woder what those sports edi- tors‘who kept telling us they origin- ally picked Primo Carnera as the outstanding heavyweight will say now. There are some who claimed they knew all along he was the greatest and that New York sports |y writers followed them in this opin- jen. Jimmy Maloney, who is con- sidered a mediocre fighter, beat the big Italian decisively last night. It's an casy thing to pick a win- ner after the game and to predict greatness after the person becomes sreat, but the wise boys took it on the chin when they decided to pick what looked like a sure bet. Carnera is not through yet, but the defeat was a bad set-back to him and to the boys. PLANS BICYCLE RACE Chicago, Oct. 8, (/) — Chicago's twenty-fourth international six-day bicycle race will be staged at the Chicago Stadium, November § to 15, it was announced teday. Donie Bush, manager of the White Sox, thinks the American league is superior in pitchers, the National league in infields and the leagues even on outfields. Cadet Captain Leading the cadet eleven at Virginia Military Institute this fall is 180~ pound Roy Dunn, above, unanimous- ly chosen for all-state fullback a year ago and named on the Southern Conference honor roM. Dunn is re- garded as a steady and dependable line plunger.

Bennett Nelson Merchant Tailoring 55 West Main Street NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, —_— —fi BY JIGGER Four Shuttle Meadow golfers wiil aitend the annual meeting of the Connecticut Golf association Thurs- day at the Brooklawn Country club in Bridgeport. Howard S. Hum- phrey, first vice president, and Mal- colm Farmer, former president of the organization, C. H. Baldwin and W. J. Sweeney will be the local dele- gates. Officers will be elected, plans made for the ensuing year and a round of golf played under the su- pervision of Bob Pryde. It is antici- pated that the reports will show that more golf was played this year in the Nutmeg state than heretofore. The following week, Mr. Hum- | phrey and Mr. Pryde will attend the annual meeting of the New England Golf association which will be held ! in Brookline, Mass. A writer in the magazine section of the New York Times summed up the known facts regarding Bobby Jones' golfing career, all of which have appeared in print before, and emphasized factors that have been important in making him the com- plete golfer. Among those that impressed the writer of the article were Bobby's large hands and feet, his compact build with a low center of balance and supple wrists. In his own articles, Jones lays great stress on the importance of correct and full flexing of the wrists. | Others have again called attention | to the fact that most of the crack | golfers are endowed with hands and feet of ample -size. i Now that Jones has established a record of winning four of the major golf tournaments in a single season, the curious in the golfing world are | analyzing his career. They find a {series of circumstances that un- doubtedly have contributed greatly in assisting the Atlanta lawyer to do on the links what no mortal has ever done before and what no golfer | may ever duplicate. Finding their son sickly, the par- ients of Bobby moved to a cottage | on the grounds of the East Lake| course. At six, the future king of golf | was playing with Stewart Malden, a pro with a sound stroke and one that just suited Jones' build. With such a start, plus his natural aptitude for games and parents who could finance his golf, Bobby Jones advanced in 22 years to the highest pinnacle within the reach of the| world's best golfers. Even with all the advantages that could be offerd, it took 14 years of practice and an- other eight years of tournament play before Jones won four straight titles. That fact indicates the tough- ness of golf championship caliber. WCARTHY BREAKS WITH JACK QUINN Wor't Manage Red Sox, Despite Very Generous Offer Philadelphia, Oct. 8 (UP) — Joe McCarthy may or may not sign with {the New York Yankees as reported, but one thing was certain today— he will not manage the Boston Red ‘S\)x in 1931. ( Bob Quinn, president of the Bos- ton American league bascball club. made that clear in a statement fis- {sued here last night in which he said that “under no circumstances | will the Boston Red Sox consider ! McCarthy for manager.” Quinn's statement follows: “After conferring with Joe Mec- Carthy for more than two horus during which conversation I made him the most generous proposition ever made to anyone connected with the game of baseball, I am satisfied that I have done everything human- ly possible to secure McCarthy's| services. Dislikes Building Teams i “During the course of our con- | versation he impressed me with the fact that he preferred to handle a ready-made ball club that required little or no handling, to one that needed attention. So, after several | days of consideration T have come | to the conclusion that it would be a mistake to let McCarthy shop around and then come to the Red Sox if he could not land elsewhere. “Therefore, under no circum- stances will the Boston Red So | consider Joe McCarthy for manager.” McCarthy was recently repiaced by Rogers Hornsby as manager of the Chicago Cubs. Owner William | ‘Wrigley, in announcing McCarthy's departure, id that he had no fault to find with McCarthy, but that he was not satisfied with anything less than a manager who could produce winning teams. FOR BEST RESULTS USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS OPPOSING PLAYERS HUMAN OFF FIELD Series Sidelights Show Them Like All Other Mortals Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. § (UP)— Out on the ball field the world series contenders are a couple of cham- plonship ball clubs going through the motions of striving for the highest prize in baseball. Catch them behind the scenes in their dressing rooms, and one finds | them human beings, with all the fault-finding and humor of the most distant fans in the bleachers. Here are some of the things over- heard in dugout and dressing room during the 1930 world series: Burleigh Grimes, veteran spit ball pitcher of the St. Louis Cardinals, who has twice pitched 5 hit games against the Athletics and lost both | of them, telling how he was going to | beat them the day before the series | opened. | Grimes Still Hopeful Grimes stililng talking about how | he was going to beat them, after | losing the fifth game Monday at St. | Louis, when Jimmy Foxx hit his| home run with a runner on base in the ninth inning. | “I can't beat 'em withoyt runs,” grumbled Grimes, “let ‘em get me | some runs and I'll beat ‘em yet.” Jess Haines, 37 year old Cardinal | pitcher and oldest member of the St. | Louis team, wearing a two days' | growth of beard on his face and | carrying home a jug and a wrist | watch after beating the Athletics | 3-1 in the fourth game of the series. | I had just about decided to quit it T could pitch one more good | game,” said Haines, “but I had so | much stuff I've decided I can pitch | for a couple of more years now.” | “What's that jug for Jesse?”' someone asked. | “I don't know,” he replied. “Some- ' body handed it to me but I don't know what to do with it now that I have it. Wilson Bemoans Luck Jimmy Wilson, crack Cardinal catcher, whose playing has been an inspiration to his team since he broke into the third game after be- ing laid up with an injured ankle, cussing his luck on the bench in the ninth inning of the fifth game. “What a lousy ball club,” moaned Wilson, who wasn't talking about the Cards. “The ball stuck in his glove, the ball stuck in his glove, I tell you, can you beat it? Such luck."” Foxx had just hit a homer in the A’s ninth and the Cards were des- perately trying to stave off defeat in their half. Wilson, coming up with | Blades on first and one out, drove a sharp grounder to Grove, the ball | taking 2 high bounce right into Grove's glove. How They Meet “the Boys” The difference between the inter- Gabby Street: Mack, meeting the reporters by appointment, and quickly analyzing the high spots of the game in his | own shrewd way, places emphasis on | what he considers the turning point of the game. Street makes the reporters wait and then bawls them out for criti- cising him team after they had lost the first two games. “I shouldn't even talk to you fel- lows for some of the stuff you wrote in Philadelphia,” he shouted. Grimes Snubs Earnshaw George Earnshaw, A's big right- hander, passing by Grimes on the Car¢s' bench before the fifth game, and saying: “Hello. Grimes.” Having Grimes reply: “Hello, there Jim out of the minors only a few week The incident made Earnshaw a bit peeved, and he resolved to beat Grimes, which he did with the aid of Jimmy Foxx and Lefty Grove. Foxx Laconic About Homer Getting an easy interview from modest Jimmy Foxx after he had cracked his dramatic home run. “It was a curve ball outside. 1 hit it a mile. It felt good. Say anything else you like.” | Jim Bottomley, goat of the series, | standing under the stands behind the | Cards’ dugout in the ninth inning of | the fifth game, gargling his mouth | with water and looking like a man carrying a heavy load on his mind.
