WASHINGTON 81
LETTER SKI

for four hours, during which about
80 divorces usually are turned out.
Officials term the mill disgrace,
but they say they can't do anything
about it under the present law.
Long before Judge Samuel G. Brent
takes his seat on divorce day the
Arlington county courtroom always
is jammed with petitioners.
First come, first served is the rule,
and it's wise to be on hand promptly.
There are sure to be more divorce
applicants than can be heard before
adjournment, and it means weeks
delay to be left over.
Time sets the only limit on the
number of DEGREES granted, and
mighty little of that's wasted.

SUb-BASE BOUND
 ID PLAY LOCALS
An-NeW Britain to Meet New
 London Sailors Next Sunday

For the third time in as many
 weeks. the United States Submarine {, Base football team of New London
 will be booked to play the All-New Britain team at Memorial Field this Sunday. Manager Edward Daley assented to the request of Lieuten- ant Mather, manager of the Whal- ing City team for another chance to beat the weather and booked the sailors again on Sunday.
 The team was originally slated to appear in this city against the To- col aggregation week ago last Sunday. It rained and the game was called off early in the morning.
 The managers of both outfits have decided to again brave the appar- ently angry elements and will at tempt to. stage the contest this coming Sunday in this city The interest in the game is just as high among the fans Of this city as 1t was two weeks ago and the game is sure to attract large crowd of football enthusiasts who haven't seen game in three weeks.
 The fact that tho sailors want to play the local team so badly tends to show that they believe that they have New Britain's number this year. The Base team is much stronger now than it has been and with the addition of four former members of the Navy team. shows a wealth of power that will make the New Britain aggregation play every minute of the game.
 Lieutenant Mather who guides the destinies of the team, points to the two victories of the New Lon- don squad over service teams al ready to show that his team is bet ter this year than ever before. He confidently expects 10 beat New Britain and for that reason has been very anxious to play the All New Britain team.
 Manager Daley Monday morning booked the Naval Torpedo station team of Newport only to have the game called off the same afternoon. The Newport manager stated that his team was scheduled to play the New London sailors a week from no-t Sunday and he wanted to avoid all chances of injuries before this because that will be the game Of games this season for his team. He wants to bring his team to this city on November 21 and Manager Daley will probably book him.

S0CC0LI TO MEET
 NEW HAVEN GUEST
New Britain Entry in State Tournament to Play at Fillmore

Dominic Soccoli. entrant in the state pocket billiard tournament for the Emore Billiard Academy, Neil Murphy's sports emporium, will tackle McPhartland of New Haven at the local rooms tomorrow night in what should be one of the best matches of the first half of the sea son. The New Haven man is one of the best in the state and expects 10 give the local boy good run for the money.
 If SoccoIi can ever get rid Of his jonah" he would probably be far ahead of his competitors ill the race for the state title. He has won two matches in the play so far and has lost two through the smallest and most asgravating breaks" that could beset a man.
 Only last week on Tuesday night, Soccoli walloped Police of New Haven 100 to S6 and then on Thurs day night lost to Grippe of Middle town, 100 to 9S. Soccoli was leading In the last innings and had reached by an unfinished string Of a run, 98. He had an easy lie to take the match and chose to slip a sucker in the corner for an easy position shot in the other corner.
 The layout was perfect for an easy bridge shot and Soccoli Is es- pecial,y expert in getting the angles with the long reaching stick. He laid down the bridge and took careful aim. but so interested was he in getting the angle correctly that he allowed the handle Of the bridge to sink too low and he touched a ball. Grippe called "foul' and standing with S7, he ran out on Soccoli in the following cluster
 Some may say it was carelessncss which has marked Soccoli's play in former seasons, but those who wit messed the match say it was g tough break" and one that wouldn't happen again in hurry.
 To show that he has the goods this year. Soccoli went to bridgeport last night and trimmed Jim Stone, one of Connecticut's best by the score of 100 to 4s. This is the worst beating handed 10 the Park City cue artist in many seasons and shows just what Soccol will do when he is reused. Soccoli pla-ed nice billiards having high clusters of 2S and % while Stone was scwed un so tightly on most of his shots that the best he could do was 10 run off l9 and 13.
 Muldowney, Rogers representa- tive in the tournament will meet Gagno of Waterbury in Waterbury in match tomorrow night.

SWEDISH CHAMPION
 BATTLES MCCARTHY
FeIsSon Makes Picturesque Ap-
 pearanCe When in the Ring

Hartford Nov. 3 - Harry Pers- son, Swedish heavyweight champion, may lose his equilibrium. his tem- per. his reputation and even the de- cision when he meets Pat Mccarthy, clever Boston boy Up in the Hart ford state armory next Monday night. but there's one thing he can not lose--his hair.
 For Harry lost that long ago; 1t isn't in the record book whether he lost it in action or simply in the natural trend of things. but 1t is a fact that he is bald. bald as'the bil- Hard balls that Willie Hoppe illnesses about on the green baize here and there.
 The big Swede is as bald as Bob Lanliy Bob in other ways before he winds up his career within the circle.
 Person has another unusual thing about his appearance that will catch the eye of the observant fan as Harry steps about in the big Hart ford arena next Monday: he has a big picture tattooed on his manly chest after tho manner of the brave sailors of old who had rugged Swed- en as their home port. Harry comes of a scafaring family so the heavy tattoo on his bosom cannot be held against him.
 The Swedish champion is superb lv built and his great chest and shoulders give him the punching power which has brought boxing ex- perts to the opinion that he is a real for the heavyweight crown. They sit down and stay there when the big boy from over seas hits them right.
 Persons most impressive start In this country was against Johnny Risko, tho champion of Sweden beating the "Clevcland Rubber Ball decisively.
 Monday night lost 10 End" German on a foul, but he was well out front when he was disqualified for hitting German low. Fans. who were at the sesqui for the Dempsey dehacle, can testify 10 the punch ing power of the big boy from over the bounding main.
 The McCarthy-Pers on bout is down for 12 rounds and there are to be three other bouts: Georgie Lamson ys. Little Boy Blue. eight rounds: Nick Fidcl vs. Prince Toona eight rounds. and Joe smith vs. George McRae. eight rounds.

 0F PERSONALITIES
llinois-Chica6o Game to Bring Out StaSg and zuppke Strategy

Chicago, Nov. 3.-lPl-Western conference football this week is a battle royal of personalities.
 And not all of them are fleet footed backs, because the Illinois Chicago game is essentially a duel between A. A. Stagg and Bob Iuppke, who for years have taken their football out in choaching.
 The Northwestern- Purdue en- aggement is, in addition to afford ing one of the three strongest bid ders for the Big Ten title a chance to drop out of the running, a con- test between Moon" Baker, versa tile leader of the Purple, and Cot ton" Wilcox, back who has figured largely in making Purdue a con- ference threat this fall.
 At Iowa it will be Kutsch, who al- ready has made his reputation with the Hawkeycs, and Herb Joesting of Minnesota, who strengthened his bid for recognition by a brilliant share in last Saturdays nosing out of Wisconsin.
 In the way of personalities Frosty Peters and the toe that gave the Illini 30 decision over Pennsyl- vania, will be the headlners at 1llinois-Chicago, but in the main the game matches old Man" Stagg and Zuppke.
 Zuppke has all the best of it, on seasons performance, but followers Of the game recall a day in 1924 when the relative situation of the two teams was somewhat similar and Illinois had Grange, and the late Walter Camp called the 2l-21 tie one of the greatest games he had ever seen. On the strength of the tie, Chicago won the conference championship.
 Stags's attention was divided to- day between defense and a rhyth- mic shift which met with some suc- cess against Ohio and which he hopes a backfield intact for the first time in weeks will make effective against his old rival.
 At Michigan. Yost too. worked on some new attack strategy with q team chastcned by the altogether unexpected downfall before navy. At Wisconsin, George Little drilled the Badgers against Michigan plays as executed by his freshmen.
 Yost's preparations for Wisconsin go forward while he keeps a wealth. CT eye on the game a week hence with Ohio, where Wilce is boistering his chances of snatching the title from Michigan by weekend rest for the Buckeyes. Indiana Is the other Big Ten school not figuring this week in conference football, the their game with Notre Dame.

 Tt seems a shame to deny the of- fenslve team some freedom of formation and compel it to adopt mold for it's attack" said Stagg. Such a limitation would seriously hamper the team with the ball and probably make the game less inter- esting.
