|SHARKEY STOCK IS
 SOARING ON HIGH
Boston Battler Shows Great
 Stuff Training for Wills

New York. Oct. 6.-Since Jack Sharkey, Bostons great young heavyweight has been working out at Stillman's Gym for his fifteen round battle with Harry Wills, the outstanding challenger for the worlds heavyweight championship, his stock has gone soaring. Even the most skeptical who were inclined to sheer at Sharkey's sensational vic tory over George Godfrey, the Black Shadow of Leiperville, because 1t was not won before their eyes, had different ideas on Sharkey's ability after watching him work.
 Monte Mum, Dan Hickey's young heavyweight; Big Bill Tate, and Jimmy Brown, who worked with Dempsey at Atlantic City and Vim cent Sanchez, featherweight cham pion of Spain and National Guard title holder, are serving as sparring partners for the big boy from Bos- tion. Thus far Sharkey has limited his sparring to nine rounds. He has been hitting the road every morning at six o'clock using Central Park for his jog.
 Johnny Buckley, his manager, Is certain that Sharkey will enter the ring against Wills in the best physi- cal condition of his career. Further more Buckley feels that his man has had just enough work in the ring to bring him in against Wills at a per feet fighting edge.

 PLAN FOR GAMES
Coaches Concentrating on De- ienSe Against Forward Passes

New York, Oct. 6.-P-Football eleycns, struggling to break into the sport limelight dominated today by the World series contestants, are polishing up their offensive weapons for continuance of the campaign Saturday.
 Forward passes, that last week contributed to almost every victory in the east are coming in for a measure of concentration. The Hud- dle system, gaining new converts weekly among the leading elevens, has shown it's value in adding speed and certainty to offensive power. The group mode of signal barking, introduced 10 the Big Three by Bill Roper at Princeton. has now be- come a part of the new order of things at Harvard, where Anold Horveen is injecting western tactics into a rcorganized Crimson system Tad Jones, also won over, is smoothing up the Huddle with his Yale Bulldogs after watching it's sue. cess against Boston university.
 The Crimson, struggling upward after disastrous seasons, saw tor nado of Golden Giants from Geneva pass their way to a 16 to victory when assaults on the Harvard for ward wall failed at critical mo- ments. Both Geneva touchdowns were direct results of air assaults. Coach Horween, fullback stalwart at Cambridge, in post-wardays, when the Crimson host was raging through the east, is building his eleven slowly, refusing 10 point for early season games. with Harvard facing almost certain defeat in the Grenadior conflict, Horween sent the second team into the game for the third quarter 10 give his reserves the few minutes drill under fire that outweighed in value months of practice scrimmage.
 The Ellis, in piling up 51 points on Boston university, exhibited q versatile overhead attack and slashing open game that came some what as a surprise after the rather close play of the 1925 season. Back ed by intelligent use of the IIuddle, Yale passes contributed to every

who know Manager Daley, will re- gard the matter in a ridiculous light. He is known as a square shooter" to both players and fans and it is absolutely unnecessary to say here or anywhere else that Manager Daley is a gentleman of the high est character and his honesty is too well known to have anyone doubt for a moment but that someone is evidently trying to put the skids" under Sundays game with Red" Grange.
 Regarding the stories printed about Manning and Barnikow, the only statement to be made by the All-NeW Britain management is that as far as the local officials know, the two men are all set to play with New Britain next Sunday. Barnikow has signed a contract to play hers and Manning gave his word last Sun day that he would be with the local team this weekend.
 Manager Daley got in touch with the Springfield player this morning by telephone and he said that no representative of the Hartford Blues had been to see him and he knows Of no authority for the story which appeared in the Hartford paper. He stated that he will wait until 5;$0 o'clock tonight and will then dehnitely state to Manager Daley where he stands.
 Barnikow is scheduled to be in this city today at 1:S0 o'clock for conference with the local club off, ticials. He, himself, telephoned tho Mariden Morning Record last Mon- day night and told the sports editor there that he twas all done with Hartford and was going to play the remainder of the season with New Britain"
 The status of the two men will be settled by tonight and whether they will be with New Britain or with Hartford remains to be seen. In the event that the two decide that they will go with the Hartford Blues. Manager Daley has arrangements made to have Clements, of Spring. field, and probably Flash" Fallon. last year with Dartmouth, join the team this week.
 Coach Dave Hayes, a former Notrs Dame player and later a coach at the Western university, is in com munication with Jim Crowley, most famous member of the -Four Horse- mem and there Is possibility that he will be with New Britain Sunday afternoon.

St. Louis, Oct. 6 GP-After play ing the third world series game on the installment plan, the Cardinals winning and taking the lead two games to one, New York and St. Louis players today were looking with anxious eyes skyward as they prepared for the fourth game. There was a disposition in both camps to ask the weather man if he meant what he said when he issued a pre- diction of fair with little change in temperature.
 The uncontradicted forecast at game time yesterday was clear and cool. It was cool but not clear.
 Rain in the fourth inning threat ened to wash the contest from the baseball map. The game was finally completed but not until 9 32 minute recess had been declared. The tn-
New Britain herald., 1926-10-06

termission gave the record breaking crowd of nearly 3S,0OO cash cus- toners a chance to see some clever juggling of the big field covering tarpaulin, in vogue at Sportsman s park, by more than a score of ground keepers.
 In spite of the forecast of flair" for today, the man killing tarpaulin is down and will remain so until the sun chases it away.
 Fair weather pitchers were In readiness for the fourth test of the series. Miller Huggins, who makes no secret of his pitching thoughts had definitely decided on Waite Hoyt to serve. Rogers Hornsby, after mentioning Arthur Rcinhart as a possibility every day, finally drew the left handlers number from the hat.
 Although only 26 years of age. Hoyt has been pitching profassion- al ball for nine years and has tossed with varying success in three world series. Rcinhart is just Hoyt's age but lacks the New Workers eXpcri- ence. He is a left handler who is able to add to the offensive as well as defensive power Of his team.
 Neither manager indicated today that he anticipated injecting any new faces into the lineup, with the exception Of an ever-changing pitch CTS. Miller Huggins did q clever bit Of master minding yesterday The strategy of moving Ruth into left held and bringing Meusol over to take the infants place in right was SO successful it will be repeated. As a result of the experiment yoster- day, Ruth did not have q chance in left field and after Mcuscl caught DoUhit's fly to start the game and showed he could. he had no more,
 The faithful fans of St. Louis en- countered by yesterdays clean cut victory were prepared 10 cheer s. ooo strong for another victory to- day
 The third game Of tho series re- solved itself into a one man affair. the pitcher standing head and shoulders above hjs mates Jesse Haines did this literally and not con- tent with pitching a shoutout game helped himself to a home run.

touchdown.

tOuCnQOWn.
 Princeton, drilling this week to overcome the fumbling and slipshod handling of the ball that marked the close victory over Amherst last Saturday, has a short passing game and the brilliant broken field run ming of Slagle, Prendergast and i Williams to thank for the conquest of the Lord Jeffs. But interception of a Tiger pass, followed by a run of so yards, gave Amherst its only score.
 The Green Dartmouth flood that swept over Hobart for 50 points was aided materially by five successful forwards out of eleven tries. Cornell threw a flock of short passes in downing Niagara, while Pennsyl- vania could attribute two of six touchdowns against Johns Hopkins directly to the overhead game, and two more indirectly. Georgetown passed for the only touchdown in tying Pittsburgh to 6.
 Fordham established the most impressive overhead record of the day by completing four out of six tries against Mount St. Marys for a total of 146 yards, fraction of over 26 yards gain on each pass.
 Air offensives threw fear into large camps as small rivals suddenly took to the air. Ursinus several times passed its way 10 the shadow of the Rutgers goal only to break down against a husky line in the final few yards. The Army survived several Detroit sorties that drove the Cadets backs almost to the last chalk line.

boys who fight in the 15O pound class have, met several times before in Hartford without either winning decisivcly.
 The other boys from the Hard ware city who will launch their offensive at the classic Friday night are Herbert Crowley and Eddie Lewis. Crowley is scheduled to meet Frank Therien of Hartford in the 115 pound class and Lewis ie matched with Eddie Reed of Hart ford at l0S pounds.
 Joe Howard, state champion in the middleweight class, will top the card, meeting an opponent who is yet to be selected. There are four who seek Towards scalp but the promoters are out to get the best available man to push in against the hard hitting champion.
 The rest of the card finds the best boys in the state matched against tough opponents. In the 150 pound class, Harry Harris of Hartford meets Paul Kayoe of Dan- bury. Ray Hall of Hartford will meet a bitter enemy in Clement Murce in the 40 pound class. Frank Baker of Hartford will meet Dick Dunn of Middletown at 122 pounds while one of the best bouts of the evening will be George Dunn of MiddletoWn against Johnny Mas fro of Hartford at 120 pounds.
 The second star bout of the even- ing will find Abe Bodine of Hart ford battling Leo Ducharme of Springfield in the 132 pound class Either Of these boys stands on the threshold of a state championship and both have met many times with their bouts almost always re. sultine in draws.
 Another good match Is that be- tween Robert Crowley of Middle town and Walter Gorham of Meri- den at 145 pounds. Both of these boys arc hard hitters and a knock out is predicted in this bout. Joe Conroy of Middletown will mae, Eddie Camp of Hartford at 1o5 pounds while LaBalla of Middlctowr will be matched with Obhoimer oi Springfield at 119 pounds.
 Tony Norman, another Spring, field boy, will be matched against Andrew Cormack of Hartford at I1f pounds while Joe Champ, one ot the favorites with the fans whc have been following the amateur bouts in Hartford, will be stacked up against the third Massachusett, entry, Marion Pagnoni of Spring field at the featherweight poundage l26 pounds.
 One other middlewcight bout is scheduled for the night with Will liam Bowling of Middletown meet ing Paul Terzo of Hartford at 155 pounds. This should be a sizzling bout because both boys send ir ip-hammer blows and it is pre- dicted that this fight won't go the limit
 The Mohawk A. C. has prepared the best card of amateur fights ever seen in this city and fans from all over the state are due here Friday to take in the show. The first bout will be started promptly at 8:3f o'clock
