PETTY HAD TOUGH
 ROAD ID TRAVEL
Brooklyn Pitching Sensation
 Famous After fl Year Fight

New York May 2 GP}-Jess Petty Of Brooklyn and Los Angeles, early season pitching sensation of the major leagues, has reached the pinnacle after Q fourteen year struggle against sickness and bad breaks"
 The giant southpaw hurler. who has yielded an average Of only one run a game in compiling five game winning streak. last season gave President Manager Wnbert Robinson little reason to expect the brilliant pitching he has contribut- ed to Brooklyn's phenomenal rush. Petty won nine contests out of IS but finished near the bottom of the National league list in effectiveness, allowed ASS earned runs a game.
 Thus far this season opposing clubs have reached Jess for only three earned runs in 47 innings. Teams have failed to score against him in 43 of these innings while bafling delivery has been solved for only A hits, an average of less than five a game.
 A veteran of 32 years, Petty spent his early days in baseball on the emi-professional diamonds of Texas. After twirling for five years with in- .dependent clubs, he received tryouts with San Antonio and Waco in tbn Texas league. only 10 be stricken will illness twice. On two occasions he "came up" to the majors with Cleveland, but failed to impress the Indian chieftains as a result Of poor health or inability to get started in his few opportunities.
 Petty drew the most from his powerful left arm in 1924 with h. .dianapolis in the American associa- .tion, and was purchased by Brook lyn at q cost Of $25,000. For q time it appeared that President Robin son had invested in another "bloom- CT" but this year Petty has indi- cated that his club will profit by it's investment.
 He has speed, q fine curve ball and control In his five turns on the slab he has yielded only 12 passes and has his no batters, but he fails to approach Da2zy Vance, his pitch l ing mate, as a strikoout king. Less than four strikeoWs a game has been Petty's average.

ANDERSON MEETS LYNCH
Duckpin Champion Will Try to Get Revenge On Bristol Man 1t The Casino Alleys Tonight.

Eddie Anderson, defending state duckpin bowling champion, will make an attempt 10 revenge himself on Lynch of Bristol tonight at the Casino alleys for 8 beating he re ceiyed in the Bell City the other
 night when the two meet on the
 Church street lanes in a state league match
 Lynch took five out of the nine games rolled the other night though
 Anderson had the best average and pinfall and copped high single. An derson has jinx trailing him in his last few games and means to smash this worthy licorice stick in the woodpile starting tonight. ] Bowling fans in this city know lthe prowess of Anderson on the lanes but Lynch is also one that will always give the best men a tough
 run for their money. Lynch's camp 1 is confident that he will topple the ! champion for the second time this week and they are coming over to New Britain in force tonight. An tderSon's rooters will be out in force also to help Eddie attain his ambi- 1 ton.

FOOTE BEATS BARBOUR
Rogers Alley Bowler Takes Five Out of Nine From Waterbury Substitute for Joe Harper.

Joe Foote took the first step 10 bring Barbour out of first place fin the state individual duckpin bowl ing championship tournament last night in Waterbury when he won five of the nine games from Joe Harpor's substitute in his home hailiwicll. The Rogers alley man was in line trim and hit good scores when they were needed to have the edge on his opponent,
 Barbour had q higher total pin- fall than the local man, hitting 966 to Foote's 9l2. and he also hit a higher average. 107.3 10 101.4. In tho eighth same, he hit high sin ble with a mark of 129. Foote won the first, fifth, sixth, seventh and ninth games.
 \ large crowd viewed the match because the Waterbury fans hope 10 see Barbour hold 10 the top po- sition in the league. They reckon cd not with Toote. however, and Joo's efforts last night show that Barbour will have a stormy path 10 travel The results Of the games were as follows:
 Ioote - III s7 90 S5 III 104 Il2 102 Ill - 913.
 Barbour - 107 iii 103 120 100 S7 10S 129 101 - 9G6.

By the Associated Press.
 Pitchers regaiued some of their lost prestige as east and west clash ed for the first time in the major leagues yesterday.
 Perhaps the strangest exhibition took place at St. Louis where Dazzy Vance Of Brooklyn was driven from the mound in the first inning when a triple by Holm, a double by DOuthit and a single by Lester Bell, with a base on balls accounted for three runs.
 After that Douglas McWeeney, former White Sox moundsman pitch ed hitless ball against the Cardinals but his mates could make only five safeties off thv service Of Rhem and St. Louis won 8 to l. Rhem and McWeeney famed six men each.
 Virgil Barnes Of the New York Giants and Charlie Root of the Cubs had a bitter battle at Chicago with the Giants winning to l. Only six Cubs Cubs found Barnes safely and Kelly's homer and a combination of hits in the ninth gave him the bat Ele.
 Four singles and an error by Guy Ter in the sixth gave the Boston Braves three runs, enough to beat the champion Pirates. Wertz and Hsrn of the victors permitted eight hits but they kept them well scat tered.
 Cincinnati smashed out 18 hits to smother the Phillies, 14 to 4, Clar- ence Mitchell being pounded from the box. Bressler and Critz led the Reds attack.
 A three-run rally in the ninth brought the Philadelphia Athletics their fourth straight victory St. Louis losing Its first game in the east 5 to 4. Mickey Cochrane doubled in the final inning with the bases full after vanGilder had relieved Gaston.
 Washington's fifth straight con- quest and the Yankees fourth straight loss arrived at the same time when the Senators downed the Huggins crew at New York, to 5. Goslin and Peckinpaugh hit home runs for Washington, Peck's escap- ing to the fence through Bob Meu- sePs legs. The Yankees filed the bases in the ninth but double play by the old combination, Peck to Harris to Judge. ended the battle.
 Hal Wiltse, youngster with the Red sox, hurled q powerful game and defeated the Cleveland Indians 1 to 0. Only five hits were garnered off the recruits service while singles by Flagstead, and Carlyle and an inficld out gave Boston it's run in the

GASCOS ARE YICT0RS
Jim Lynchs Meter Readers Put The Bee On The K. & F. Team In Fiye-Innins Game At Walnut Hill

Jim Lynch's Gascos are in it again this year and yesterday started of .the season with a bang by defeating Ithe R. G5 E. team Of the Industrial league by a to f score in five innings. The game was played at [ o'clock last evening at Walnut Hill park and although Lynch umpired, he himself says that he gave the GasCos nothing.
 Francis Sheohau walloped out a three hagger and Mullins Of the
 RussWin team slammed out 8 double for the hitting features of the game. SteNie Dudack cayorted in his usual garden, the left, while Johnny Shee- han and Kopec made up the battery for the Meter Readers. The battery for the k. &5 F. team was McNam- ara. Scheidler and Buckles.
 The R. 6; F. team started things
 going in the first inning and it cer- tainIy looked gloomy for the Lynch men Three runs came clattering across the platter. The Gascos, however, nettled by this feat, came through in their half of the same frame and sent over four counters. They followed with two more in the fourth while R. & F. got only one and to make the measure sure, the 1 Gascos wallopod in two more in the Hast frame. More will be heard from the Meter Readers as the sea 1 Ison progresses.

FALCONS ID MEET
 NEW HAVEN TEAM
New Britain Nine Has Tough Opponent Picked for Sunday

The Falcons baseball team has another fine baseball treat in store for the fans of this city Sunday aft ernoon at St. Mary's field when they meet the fast KY team of New Ha- ven. The Elm City nine is no stranger outfit to New Britainites as they have been coming 10 this city for a number of years and have put up some excellent games. After their snappy victory over i the 4Ieriden Mohawks last Sunday. the Falcons are eager to chalk up another win against the fast New Haven team. They. will have to be at their best, however, as the Elm { City crowd has sent word ahead Ithat their team members are play | ing q cham pionship brand of base ] ball and are all set 10 make the i Falcons bite the dust.
 The XY's have quartet of twirl- CTS whom they can call on 10 work i and every man of the four is q Wal ter Johnson in himself The team has snappy inGeld that Is famed for its double plays while three fly hawks whose hats hammer away at all sorts of pitching, cayort in the outer gardens and make things mis- erable for the opposing batters who are trying 10 get hits.
 The Falcon team is stronger than ever this year and the first outburst Hast Sunday brands them as a strong contender for city and state honors. The Meriden Mohawks brought q strong team here but they proved to be easy meat for the locals and the players are anxious to start tear ing off the scalps of the New Ha- veners.
 This, however, will have to be done in short order as the crew from down near Savin Rock is a fighting bunch of fools and can always stage a comeback no matter what the score is. For pitchers they have iCrossman, Carr. Loos and O'Brien. Behind the bat there is RueI, name sake of Muddy" and Coomhs. Al the initial sack will be Callahan, a sweet baseball player. Burke will be stationed at the midway station with Ciarlegdie will he at third. II. Lynch will cover the short station. In the outer lanes will be K"lardi lin left Goebel in center and Morro in right.
 The Falcon management hasn't announced its pitching selection yet for Sundays game but the work will probably fall on JaglowsEi's shoul- ders. The same lineup that came through in last Sundays game will probably be- used again. although one or two changes might be put through. The game will start at 3 o'clock and a crowd as large as last Sunday Is expected to watch the contest.

(BY JOE WILLIAMS)

Hondersonville. \. C.. May 7.- Jack Dempsey had just finished an hours workout in a warming spring sun. high up in the Blue Ridge Mountains that roll thunderously against d purple skyline, like giant elephants in stampede.
 He lay on his back on a rubbing table in the little white cottage he uses for a home here, while Jerry the Greek, his idolatrous trainer kueadcd his muscles and massaged his loins.
 Like the gentle swell of the sea al low tide, the heavyweight cham pion's chest rose and fell and tiny rivuIe's Of sweat cascaded down his bristly face.
 News had come that day from New York that the eastern commits sion had formally sanctioned his September fight and either Harry Wills or Gene TUnney would be his opponent.
 (Which would be the harder to whip" 1 asked Dempsey as Jerry the Greek sprayed his lean-limbed form with alcohol.
 That's not easy to answer" re- piled the champion. "Of-hand l would say Tunney might give me the more trouble. He is younger and faster. 1 might have harder time hitting him on the button. But I'm not sure"
 Rolling over on his side at the request of the Greek, who never calls him anything else but "chom- pion"-pronounced as if the mouth were hhed with steaming potatoes Dempsey added:
 This fight game is funny. When ever you look for an easy fight you draw a toug one. l imagined Jess Willard would give me ny 1 hardest fight; it was the easiest. l thought Luis Firpo would be my ! easiest; 1t was my hardest" { l asked Dempsey how he planned ito fight Tunney, if Tunney ultimate | ly drew the assignment. { This may sound ridiculous tc you," he answered, "but I haven't i the slightest idea right now how ] would fight either Tunney or Wills l Not only that but I won't have any set ideas concerning an attack ol . defense even when I climb betweer ! the ropes. I never do. I just gel in there and start throwing fists"
 This is probably true. in degree for Dempsey is one of the most i'm 1 petuous fighters that ever advanced 10 the higher levels of the nose 1 spreading racket.
 It is undoubtedly true as It con cerns Tunney, for he has never seeI the eX-marine in action.
 Hidden back in his noodle
 rather imagine Dempsey has 8 pre- I conceived idea of how best to battl
 Wills, for he has seen him in tw,
 of his winning tights-against Ere,
 Fulton, whom he stopped in shor
 order, and against Firpo, whom h.
 did not stop.
 "The only reason I haven't secl { Tunney in the ring" explains Domp
 say lis that l have never bee
 around when he was boxing"
