KENSINGTON TO PLAY BAY
 STATE TEAM ON SUNDAY
Strong East Cambridge Team to Oppose South Enders
 On Home Lot

Sunday afternoon, the Kensington baseball team will meet probably the strongest team that has visited the lower end town this year. The op- position to the Paper Goods baseball representatives will be given by the East Cambridge team of Massachu- sets.
 Advance information sent to Man. ager Pat Buckley of the Kensington outfit states that the team is one of the leading contenders for honors in the Boston Twilight league and on the roster of players appear the names of several who have made their regulations with Boston Col legs and Harvard.
 The Kensington outfit expects to meet some classy twirling Sunday afteSoon because it is strongly in- timated that former Boston Red Sox pitcher will oppose them and if this is true, the South end gang will have to have their batting eyes peeled to pull away with a victory.
 The free bus service for fans from Upson's corner to the baseball park will be furnished again this Sunday and it is expected that a large num- Der of New Britain people will take advantage of this convenience and attend the game.

WOJACK'S TOUGH LUCK
"Cmcky" Forced, Because Of Suc- cession of Illnesses, To Take Much Needed Rest,

Frank (Chuck) Woiack, after spending the present baseball season as a member of the Williamsport team of the York-Penn baseball league. was forced because of sue cession of tough breaks and illness to take his release from the club. Only recently "Chucky" underwent an operation for tonsilitis and this set him back q great deal. He has failed to come along as rapidly as he expected and his condition has affected his playing ability.
 The present season has been a succession or reverses for the local boy. He has been i'll throughout the season the cause of it being his bad tonsils and as result, his game has not been what it should have been.
 His plans for the future are not yet known but he plans 10 take long rest and will probably not play baseball again this season. Ii is un. derstood that his position with the club he has just left will be open for him when he is able to return to the lineup.

SWIMMING RECORDS
 AGAIN UNDER FIRE
Competition in National A. A. U.
 Championships Continues

Philadelphia. July 30 LPt-World's swimming records, which have top pied with consistent regularity dur ing the present competition in the National A. A, L. swimming cham pionships here, are expected to be under fire again today when the worlds greatest mermen take the water for the 100-meters swim and the half mile relay.
 The divers also start action in the 15 and 80 foot platform tests. Con- trary to the original schedule, the divers will perform their feats miles from the sesquicentennial pool at the Philmont Country club on the outskirts of Philadelphia. This shift was made because of an unsatis- factory report from the springboard artists on the new S7,5O0 diving pool erected especially for the na- tional events.
 The aquatic acrobats reported the l pool too shallow and too short for itheir feats and as a result the invi- tation of the Philmont club was ac- Icepted by the national swimming authorities.
 | Johnny Weissmuller Is the favorite to retain his national title in the loo meter event while the Illinois A. C., quartet of furlong swimmers
 is expected to show the way in the | SS0-yard relay.
 One worlds record was shattered and one American record establish ed in yesterdays competition. Arne Borg, tall Swedish members of the illinois A. c. team clipped five and
 one-fifth seconds off the SS0-yard free style event when he swan the
 distance in 10:3S 2-5. Paul Wyatt
 of the uniontown. Pa, Y. M. c. A, established an American record
 when he won the 220-yard back
 stroke race in 2:45 As. No record
 exists for this event. Walter Laufer
 of Cincinnati. who won the 220-yard
 backstroke title in 1925. negotiated Ithe distance in 2:50 but this was not allowed as an American record ow-
 ing to tidal currents.

FINE PROGRAM ARRANGED
 FOR POLICE FIELD DAY
Industrial Events Are Attracting Much Attention for Event
 at Lighthouse.

New Haven, July 30-Prominent among the events which are at tracing much attention for the fourth annual police field day at Lighthouse Point on August II, are the three industrial numbers. Gen. eral Chairman Tom Tracy in ar ranging the program has sought to make it diversified and so we'll balanced that there will be some thing of more than usual interest to everybody. Handicap events and championship events for some of the foremost athletes in the state, special numbers for girls as well as competitions for firemen and po- licemen are on the bill of fare.
 On the industrial side of the pro- gram are three events, two of which are for men while the third is for girls. The mems races in- clude a 100 yard dash and an 500 yard relay which promises 10 be one of the outstanding clashes of the entire day. The thousands of spectators who were present the last two years when the cops field day was staged will recall the closely girls relay in which the team of female stars from Philadelphia fought a bitter race with the Prudential girls of Newark. the Board of Recreation of Bridgeport and the Insilco las- sies from Meriden.
 This year, Tracy expects the Meriden team to capture the race if reports from the Silver City are not exaggerated. Advices from there say that the fair ones have been showing great form in their early tests and have gathered the most formidable team in years to represent them and will be dan- gerous competitors in the 800 yard relay.
 Some of the crack runners devel- oped in the local factory athletics are planning to enter and Tracy is looking forward to a big field for both the dash and the relay. The races are open to men from all over the state. Entry blanks can be ob- tained at police headquarters in any city in the state.

PHELAN IS MUM ON
 LICENSE QUESTION
Tells Tunney His Case Will Be
 Decided on Its Merits Alone

New York, July 30 0P Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney. insist ing that they want to do battle for the heavyweight boxing champion ship, must await the pleasure of one who is training a regiment of men for any big fight that may come along.
 Colonel John L. Phelan. upon whom hinges the heavyweight situa- ton at the present time, as chair man of the license committee of the New York state athletic com- mittce, is too busy preparing men for war to take any action in re- gard to a mere boxing match
 Tunneg a veteran of France himself visited the colonel at the encampment of the national guard at Peekskill, N. Y, yesterday, and made known his plans 10 obtain. if possible a license to fight Dempsey. The colonel was affable and dis cussed various matters with Gene for an hour. He also escorted him on a tour of the camp during which the boxer shook thousands of hands,
 After the conference the colonel said that no decision regarding a license would be forthcoming until he was "out of the army" and back at his desk in New York. That will be August Il and until that time the attitude of boxing followers must be one of watchful waiting.
 Colonel Phelan did promise one thing - that the Tunney case will be decided on it's merits - just the same as any other that comes to his attention.
 Gene Tunney is fine boxer and Q credit to the boxing game" he said. "But I am too busy with military duties to give the neces- sary consideration to his applica- tion just now.
 "As to my stand with Chairman Farley of the boxing commission that Harry WILLS should receive the first chance against Dempsey I can only say that Jim Farley is my friend, but so are George Brewer and Bill Muldoon. My door is al- ways open and I have tried to de- eide things in a fair manner I see no reason for a sudden change"
 Brewer and Muldoon are the commissioners who last Tuesday voted to accept the Tex Rickard proposal to stage the fight at the Yankee stadium, New York, Sep tember 16, Brewer having had a change of heart. It was the latter's telegram of invitation to Rickard to renew his request to the com- mission that brought the promoter in haste from Chicago.

CITY LEAGUE LEAD
 WILL BE DECIDED
Undeieated BurrittS and Pirates Meet -BudniCk Leads HitterS

Interest in the City League games tomorrow afternoon centers on the Pirate Burritt battle for first place. Neither team has thus far been de- feated and they are tied for the leadership of the loop with three wins apiece. The Burritts have shown themselves the most aggres- sive team in the league and have also displayed the most powerful batting punch, these qualities hay ing carried them through three op- ponents by lop-sided scores. The Pirates, the youngest team in the circuit, have plenty of speed and are a fast fielding aggregation, but they lack the swatting punch of their opponents. The Burritts, backed by their large following, will be favor ties tomorrow, but the Pirates must be given more than an outside chance of victory. The game will be called at o'clock on Diamond No. l.
 On Diamond No. 2 at ? o'clock the West Ends will meet the Rang CTS. The Rangers are by no means as strong as when they won the league pionship last year and are the weakest team in the loop when it comes to using the stick, but they have good pitching and field cleanly. The West Ends have a powerful attack, but it is dis iointed and their hits do not come close together. At o'clock on Diamond No. 1 the Orioles are scheduled to meet the Robins. The latter team has been coming along fast after a poor start and will make trouble for any opponent. The Orioles, on the other hand, have been handicapped by failure of play CTS to appear, and the team may not be able to put nine men on the field tom morrow and may have to allow another forfeit.
 Budnick Leading Hitter
 Budnick of the Burrits, by hitting safely in all three trips to the plate last week. now leads the league hit ters with seven safeties in ten times at bat, an average of TOO. He is followed by Smithwick of the West Ends, Rose of the Burrits, tennis of the West Ends, Zapatka of the Pirates, Luty and Jarnot of The Burritts. Carlson of the Pirates, ZalesM of the Burritts, and Cormier of the West Ends. The first eight of these are hitting for 300 or bet ter. Zaleski, whom no team seems able to keep off the bases, has scored nine runs and leads in this department. The Burritts have a team average of .591 and are well above the field in this respect.

MILLER HUGGINS MAKES
 BID FOR PECKINPAUGH
Veteran Senator May Again Return to New York Club - Yankees Hand Beating to St. Louis Browns - Cleveland Takes Third Straight From Athletics - Senators Beat Out White Sox - Boston Loses to Detroit-National Games All Postponed.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 Roger Peckinpaugh, veteran shortstop of the Washington sena- tors, who has played with Cleveland Boston and New York in the Amer ican league, again is sought by the Yankees.
 Miller Huggins announced yester- day that he had bid for Peck when Washington asked waivers - ana this action provides a strange turn of baseball events, for in 192l the shertstop when playing for the Yankees, permitted ground ball to trickle through his legs and the world series went to the Giants by a single run.
 Then the aging Peck gave way to Everett Scott, from the Red Sox' and Peck drifted along to the Sem ators. Last year, voted the most valuable player to his team in the American league, he made several errors in the world series with P1tts- burgh and two In the last game probably lost the title.
 Inst why the Yankees now seek Peck is a mystery. for the tealn' win Mark Koenig at shortstop, yes- terday won it's eighth straight con- test by beating the St. Louis Browns for the third successive time, ID 10 T.

BASS OUTPOINIS FARR
Philadelphia Battler is Assured of Meeting of Babe Herman in Fea- therweight Scramble.

New York, July 30-Benny Bass of Philadelphia today stands in the front line of seekers for the feath- erweight boxing crown recently re- linquished by the Meriden boy, Louis (Kid) kaplan.
 Bass outpointed Johnny Farr of Cleveland in a rather lstless con- test at Madison Square Garden last night assuring a meeting with Babe Herman, the man who gave Kaplan some of his hardest battles.

(BY NEA SERVICE)

St. Louis, July 30.-Will Rogers Hornsby, the Raiah of Rap, make it seven straight batting champion ships this season?
 That's what the boys around the corner are discussing as the final half of the campaign gets under way. The answer runneth both ways; some believe the King of Clubs will put on a desperate squirt that will carry him to the heights again, while others think he has too much ground to make up in the few weeks remaining to put the feat over.
 How has Hornsby's work for the first and second halves of other years compared?
 Well, in 1924 Rog hit .398 over the initial 77 frays, and then went on to bat .455 the last half, giving him the modern day record of .424.
 Last year in the first half Horns by turned in mark of .414, wind ing up with a .4O3. It showed a falling off of II points in the last two and a half months of play.
 Hence one season he went on a veritable rampage down the stretch while in the other he faltered bit All of which makes his case harder to dope.
 This season Hornsby's average through the first half was but .344, decline of 70 points compared with year ago. More than that the midway mark found Rogers close to 30 points behind the leaders.
 Whether the Clouter of the Car dinals can overcome such a big ad- vantage remains 10 be seen. If he does he'll have to put on a spurt similar to the one he staged two years ago.
