Racing At Bowie, Md, Gets AuspiciOus Start,
 Competition Is Close
Indications Point to Big Season on Eastern Track
 This Year-Turf News.
By ROGER TERRI.

F F yesterdays turnout down at ! Bowie means anything the run ming horse season in this section of the country bids fair to be the most successful in years. Reports from
 Maryland today agreed the inaugura-
 ton of the flfteen-d day racing season
 at Bowie was carried out auspiCiously.
 While there was nothing sensa tional
 about the running of any of the
 horses, the performances indicate that
 there should be some lively competi-
 ton.
 And now that the season has been
 successfully launched. rcrsemen are
 studtOusIy looking into the future
 with fond hope and brilliant expec-
 tations War had little ill effect on
 the thoroughbred sport last year and
 with it entirely out of the field this
 year there is absolutely no reason
 why the season sh"Iid not be even
 greater. Practically all of the major
 stables of this country and Cuba will
 send out cOntenders to all of the
 meetings in the metropolitan an
 Maryland zones.
 Today's card at Bowie promises
 some very interesting racing for the
 thousands who have crowded there during the past week. Perhaps the third race, in which three-year-olds will figure prom;nent1,- promises most in the line of excitement Glancing through the list one finds il 1 next to impossible to lose sight ot Tan End, who has shown so splendid 1 ly down in New Orleans. He is il good condition and with track pre- dictions fast he should lead the field although Viligante. with Erickson up must be taken into consideration Sii Haste and Eoudini may come to tht | front. but neither is a dependable i runner.
 Flying Witch looks like the one l best bet of the day in the first race l Betty Calls and Miss Staihen, too, are ! in and should make it lively fo~ an! i of the other contenders. Plurenzis | and Genevieve threaten damage il i the second clash. The first men 1 toned three-year-old has daue par 1 icuIarIy good work and just at pres i ent is running at best form In tn, | fourth Duchess Lace with ButweI 1 guiding, should not lose it's way in ] field that includes pr.

BaIlpaSt and Fir i ing Line appear promisingIy in thu l fifth setto with Crimpsall and Widow 1 BedOtte not to be overlooked Sleetl l always a good performer on tn 1 Bowie track, should grab the siXtl race with Don Dodge and Cadilla 1 next in order.

K. Q. Death Is Too Much For Game Jeff DOherty,
 Old Time lightweight
New Haven Veteran Passes Away Following Two
 Weeks Illness.

IF HE death of George (JefY) Dohery,
 A known as "the pride of New Ha- ven" in his palmiest days in the ring, marks the tragic passing of one of the best boxers ever developed in the New England states. Up until seven years ago when he announced his retire ment from the ring, he was recogniz- ed as the best lightweight in Con
 necticut. He gained prominence also
 as a welterweight, but the older fight fans here will best remember him for his accomplishment as lightweight.
 Doherty's death did not come as a
 surprise to any of his friends in this
 section, for word from his home in
 New Haven the other night had it that his condition had turned for the
 worse. His relatives turned down the
 generous offer of New Haven sports
 men to stage a benefit for him. Jeff
 had not been enjoying any too good
 health for several months and two
 weeks ago he became reconciled to
 the fact that his end wa near. He
 died in his S4th year.
 Doherty during his fighting days
 was a wonderful specimen of physical manhood. Possessed of big shoulders,
 & small body, small legs, a fighting
 face, and bes, of all, real ability, he lOoned up for a long time as a com- ing champion. He never displayed the aggressiveness of Bunny Ford or Q Chic Brown, bUt was a peer among tho scrappeIs of his day in defensive ability Doherty put up poor fights ! a well as good ones, but through 1t all stood out as the most popular fighter in the Nutmeg state. He par tictPated in about 125 scraps and en- joyed the unique distinction of having been foored but four times and knocked out but once. The knockout
 was credited to Mickey Cannon in Philadelphia, but Jeff always main tained that he was the victim of a foul blow.
 For a scrapper of Doherty's ability he was unfortunate in having boxed before the advent of the high-prfced performer. The biggeet purse that he ever received was $325 for his bout | with Willie Lewis at the old Casino. 1 This was in direct contrast to the
 thousands of dollars which Chic 1 Brown and Battling Kurz later re- i ceived. Doherty, according to the i opinion of most fans, could have ! easily defeated Brown and Kunz in 1 the same ring had he reached the height of his career a few years later. About four years ago friends of Do l herty prevailed upon him to attem pt i a comeback and he was matched to | box K o. Palitz of New London in the semi-finaI bout to Young McAuliff 1 and Joa Coster at the old Casino Despite his long layof DohertS put | up creditab1e battle for 12 rounds some of the sporting writers giving
 him a. draw decision. That marked
 JeR's last fight, although he continued 1 to take an interest in boxing by at. | tending all shows. He was a. fond
 adH1irer of Mickey Doherty, 8. name
 sake, and Harry Williams, who has since retired.
 Doherty is survived by two sisters l and three brothers, Harry, William 1 and Charley William and Charley 1 also dabb1ed in the boxing game for
 awhile No arrangements had beer
 made last night for Doherty's funeral

ANSONIA GETS
 EDGE ON SERIES Wins Fifth Game Without Much Trouble-Ribbons
 Still Hopeful.

Doubt as to whether the Connec- ticut professional basketball cham pionship will be bestowed upon the Blue Ribbon contingent of this city eXi = today as the result of the 20 to 15 ocs eat sustained by the local az gregation at the hands of the An sonia five at Colonial hall last night. The locals had a hard time through out the game and were not in a con- ditton to give any stiff opposition to the invading combination.
 During the first half of the game there was little for the Ribbons. for the period ended 12 to in favor of the visitors who literally played rings around the locals. All three of the Ribbons points were scored on free chances while the visitors had little trouble pushing the ball through the basket. In the second half. how ever, Jack I4eavy's boys injected a little pep into their play with the re suit that they came through with enough scoring to create a, little in- terest among it's followers.
 However, the fact that yester day victory gives Ansonia an edge on the series, fans hereabouts must bear in mind that play is not over yet and LiaI Ehefe IS StlII good chance or copping the title. The Ribbons were sadly off form last night Tn fact. it was one of the unusually dull nights. I just didn't start to Jack liking. for Referee Ward Brennan did not appear and Al Burdick of this city had to be substituted

BRIDGEPORT
 SOCCER CUPS s
By JOE BOOTH.

GoS OSNA SCC4Hs
 <. The Bridgeport City management are making great efforts to build u7 Q, team strong enough to lift both the Spring cup and the State cup conlpe- ttttons this spring and yesterday three important registrations were received by the State secretary. They were Freddy Pohlnlan- ex-ROver defender, who has just been reIeaseT from the Canadian forces, and William Hall and William Dowdan who were members of the F'iske Red Top team of Chicopee, Mass, which has just been disbanded. With these three players in their ranks it ought to make a, creditable showing in the competitions
 Owing to business taking him out of the city, Ernest Smith has been compelled to resign the secretaryship of the Winchester soccer team and his place is being taken by Bob Murray who now acts as both manager and secretary. All secretaries and referees should make a, note of his address which is 123 Hazel Street, New Haven.
 The Bridgeport Amateur league has IEijSoa,nded for the season owing to tfe labor conditions of the city. The i, majority of the Swedish juniors have left the city and the management have found it impossible to fill their places with players of tho correct age, and the Remington Junior team has disbanded owing to the general lay-Of at that factory while the ma jority of the players on the East Side athletic team has migrated into the senior ranks.
 The Winchester team has regis tered no less than 9 players this sea son with the secretary of the State association and then they say that there is @ shortage of soccer players in that locality. There is enough here to put g. couple of teams in the field. The 4. F. <. have beaten the JT. s. F. A. this season in staging their 1 semi-fnaI ties, the former who are merely a. cup competition with noth- ing at stake have talIep every oppor- tunity of staging its principal games ENst to secure all bl1e cream of the crowd. The U. 2. F. 4. who have an annual expense of thousands of dol 1 lars have been compelled to take sec i ond place and have been compelled
 to take their final tie out Of the dis 5rict because the A F. A. with the | same two teams ln their final tic are
 talGng the first game. This is @
 question that will be brought up as
 the annual meeting of the U. s. F. A 1 as it is now a fair proposition.
 Hamilton, the Winchester defender who was seriously injured in the fame with the Bridgeport Thistle
 team, Is still confined to his bed
 Manager Murray of that team stated yesterday that he was in c bad way.

MORT LINDSEY
 ENDS A WINNER

Mort Lindsey of New Haven was crowned the all-events champion of the American Bowling Congress at Toledo. Ohio, yesterday, when partici- pants; in the meet failed to approach his mark of 1933. John GengIer did not appear to roll.
 The last day of the tournament here saw a bowler roll a 690 indi- viduaI score and go into a tie with two other men for third place in the standings.
 !. Rivest of Chicago was the bowler and his three-ga total put him even with D. Devito of Chicago and Mort Lindsey of New Haven. Rivest tried for a perfect score, but after making ten strikes and sparing he missed the head pin and ended up with a 2S7. His other games were 193 and 210.
 Hartford bowling fans refuse to take seriously that offer made by Connors' Live Wires for a. match with Andy NcCarthy's Casinos of that city for a purse of $2, ,000. Comment ing on the challenge a Hartford news papar says:
 Ears hereabouts are all yelling tfislly' when asked what they think of the match. In the first place. the Waterbury team trimmed the Live Wires a few weeks ago and then the Brass City men took on the Casinos only to meet with defeat. Now how does Bridgeport figure on stepping forward to play a, team that has al ready beaten a team that trimmed it, and naming such a large purse is more than the fans can figure out
 The Springfield candle pin smash CTS come to the Wooster Alleys to- night at s o'clock, and some clever d11ckpin shooting should be the out come. Phil Moles has gotten together a. lineup that's a brand new one in match game bowling, but if the team can hit them like they know how, 1t will be a hard one to beat. Moles himself who grabs big scores when his hook is working, will lead off; Brunelle, with his speedeT, that when he was in trim made the best around here step up to beat him, will be sec ond; Tony Dudenhofer, too well known as a bowler to neeI introduc- ton and hitting them almost like he did years ago: Eddie Anderson. easily
 
 DOW of Hartford, and Donlon com pose the team Springfield, among their men, will have SpaNMng and Cresenezo and that's huff said.
 It is rumcred that Bob Etowe has another Waterbury five that is anx- fous to bowl Hartford. Bob was not on the team that came hers Wednes- day night and many wondered. How ever, his absence is easily explained. The Hartford team did not bowl at Stones Wooster Alleys down there as the team was picked at the Washing ton Alleys. For business reasons therefore, Bcb could hardly be ex- pected to be in the lineup What team Bob has up his sleeve is not known. or whether the dope about having onh is not verified but Bob would be. accommodated if he sent | aienE vsfd.
