Braves Field will be the scene Of
some real action August "a. unless
something happens to postpone the
bout. Honeyboy Finnegan and Red
Chapman, both of New England and
two Of the fastest featherweights
that ever wore q shoe will meet in
the main bout In addition to fur
nishing the Boston fans with sons
high class entertainment the bout
should also go long way in clear
ing UP the present featherweight sit
uation. 4
New England has one champion In
the person Of Jack Delaney Of Con-
necticut and should boast Of another
when the featherweight situation is
definitely settled The northern divis-
ion Of this country is al well fixed
for active and willing feathers as any
other two sections in the country.
Red Chapman, Finnegan, Chick
Suggs, Sammy Fuller and several
other fast boys are in this class.
which Is just about as classy as any
Of them these days. /
With Kaplan definitely out Of the
running as featherweight, the light
weights, are about the slowest class
at the present time. The fyweight
class is well headed by Fidel LaBar-
ba and he has plenty of contenders
for his crown. Despite the fact that
the most of his victories have been
decisive there Is plenty Of talent in
the class headed by the western
youth.
Pete Latzo has a tough class to
keep subdued and will have as much
work as he wants to do. AL Mello,
Jack Zivic, and a lot Of young fight
ers are clamoring for action in this
division and the tough young cham
pion of this division will find plenty
Of trouble as long as he holds the
title.
All Of which leaves the lightweight
class as the class, which is minus
many clever performers. Old age
will soon definitely drive Rocky Kan
sas from the running and he. was one
of the most dangerous opponents
Sammy Mandell had in his division.
Jimmy Goodrich has failed to make
very impressive showing since he
dropped his, crown to Kansas and
will probably never again be danger
Gus. A bunch of likely Junior light
weights, who will some day be too,
heavy for the junior class will help
to bolster this bunch.
Just how much damage Sammy
Mandell could have done to Benny
Leonard is a matter Of personal opin.
ion but 1t Is unlikely that Benny's
handsome features would have been
marred to anV great extent The gen.
eral opinion of the older fans that
some of the classes are weakening
seems to be sad but only too true.

COURT WILL DECIDE ON
 POSSIBILITY OF SUIT
Question is: Can Mrs. Howard Bring Action Against A Dead
 Woman?

Milwaukee. Wis, Dec. 22 Pl- Whether the story of the late Mrs. Eleanore Philipp-IIoward's illfated | romance with John F. Howard, mill lionaire salad dressing king of Ha verhill, Mass, will be barred in a Milwaukee court depends on Circuit Juge Gustave GehrZ's decision on a question of law he now has under advisement.
 Stripped of technical phraseology, this question simply whether a suit for alienation of anections can be prosecuted against dead woman. If the court should rule that such an action is capable of surviving the person against whom t is directed, Mrs. Margaret Howard. divorced wife of the salad king, will have an opportunity to attempt to substanti- ate her charges that Mrs. Philipp- Howard of Milwaukee. alienated the affections of the aged millionaire and induced him to obtain a MeXi- can divorce so that he might marry her.
 Those charges are contained in a suit asking damages of $I25,000 for alienation of affections begun by Mrs. Margaret Howard against Mrs. Philipp-Howard several weeks be- fore the latter's death In Mexico three months ago.

BALTIMORE CASES MAY BE SOLVED
Recent Shooting May End Hold-Up EpidemicS

Baltimore, Dec. 22.@(R- Several Baltimore robberies of the past two
 weeks were on the way to solu-
 tion today as the result of arrests made in connection with the shoot
 ing down of Talbott Trusler, a marine supply merchant, in his home Monday night. Much of the
 mystery behind the attack on the
 frusler home also appeared to be dissipated by a statement of John
 F. Deal, fother of three of the sus- poets arrested, and father-in-la of
 the fourth. Trusler was shot through
 the lungs. He is expected to recover. Leroy, Vernon and Elmer Deal, brothers, and Helen Deal, Elmer's
 wife, are held without bail. Leroy Is
 accused by Trusler's wife of having fired the shot which felled her hus- band. The others she accuses of hav- ing accompanied him to the Trus- Ter home. Leroy and Vernon also have been identified as participants
 in recent army-navy store robbery and Vernon is charged with being one of two bandits who kidnapped a chain store manager Monday night,
 robbing him of s7S9.
 The elder Deal, after his sons and daughter-in-lawh had been placed in cells, said Trusler came to him last summer, requesting that he make an | effort to end attentions of Elmer to his (Trusler's) wife. Deal said he
 talked with Elmer, who agreed to ! stay away from the Trusler home,
 although 'there was nothing serious to the affair."" Deal said he had 1 thought 1t ended. Police believed the shooting rsulted from another clash
 between Elmer and Trusler.
 Trusler. in a statement from his hospital bed. said the man who shot him was merely "a cats paw"

From the first accounts of the game which was played seven years ago, it would seem that Cobb and Speaker certainly weren't trying to win their money if they had it down. Detroit was supposed to win the game. Ty Cobb got one hit out of five times at bat. Speaker got three out of five, two of them triples. Neither Wood or Leonard pitched in the game.

Whether there is anything true in the so-called scandal or whether the two idols of the baseball world, Cobb and Speaker, were guilty of any, thing more than just making a bet on a game, will probably never be settled definitely.

Speaking g of Sports s

Tho baseball world stands aghast today at the revelations of Judge Landis with respect to the game of baseball played in 1919. Some of the fans don't know whether to be shocked or whether to laugh 1t off.
New Britain herald., 1926-12-22

We are inclined to believe that fudge Landis used very poor judge ment in making public the testimony given at the various sittings in the investigation. Leonard, who brings the charges. has refused to meet either Speaker or Cobb at hearing and if he refuses to face these men, whom he accuses, then his charges should be thrown where they merit | final resting place, the waste bas- ket.

The National Guards are in for a tough session over in Meriden to- night when they tackle the Meriden Fndeee on the Community Building floor. This is one game in which the Guards will be at the top of form.

Of course, we are not attempting to pass judgment on whether Cobb or Speaker were guilty or not, but to the grownups it may not seem serious matter while the young ones are going to suffer.
New Britain herald., 1926-12-22

We like to see anybody get square deal, but 1t seems to us that Judge Landis Is treating two men who have given their all to baseball, very shabbily. Maybe he has and maybe he hasn't. Events ofethe fu- ture may prove the case either way.
