 LEAD IN HANDbALL
Seventeen Teams Battling for
 Honors in Y. M. (. X. League

The Loomis-Cohen team retained it's standing at the lead Of the !. M. C. A. handball league during last week although the IT teams entered are all more or less in line for q chance at the lead. The lead In the play has changed hands often and there are only few who believe that the leaders of last week will be able to come through to retain their position during the coming battles. The Mangan- Roche combination headed the league three times. the Loomis-Cohen pair, twice and the Dressel- Grove team once.
 Fans interested in the play are watching the Walther brothers. They have won every match so far. The Sterns- Strong due has taken a spurt and will bear watching. s. Mag and Arata have hit their stride and have registered often in the winning col umn. The Dunn-Dudack team start ed late but will be q strong con- tender. The Noren-Hornkohl team which was bidding for the top berth went on the rocks and is now in ninth place. The Swede pair, An derson and Nelson also fell by the wayside and is now entrenched in 10th place. The Marshall-Vogel duet sang it's solo notes twice but the sweetness of the music assailed deaf ears as this pair is firmly set in the cellar position.
 Peter Perakos, manager and cap tain of the Hergstrom-Perako team, is attracting plenty of attention be- cause of his versatility. Peter plays all positions but his own and his up- side-doWn shots have resulted in the team rising it's percentage 100 per cent.

Just before the line was reached, Leary spcared a Springfield back with straight arm jab that knocked him over backwards. This made his path clear. Again Gra- ham kicked the point.
 Conklin paved the way for New Britain's last score when he went in at end and took 35-yard pass bringing the ball to Springfcld's five yard line. Jumbo took the ball over but was penalizcd because he wasn't five wards behind the line of scrim- mage. Graham just missed touch- down and Manning plugged through for the score and Graham kicked the point that gave New Britain 442 and Springfield nothing. The game ended at this point,

.SANDE A VICTIM
 l. 0F CIRCUMSTANCES
Premier Jockey Is Barred From Riding Anywhere in Country

New York, Nov. ' (UP)-Earle Sande, barred from the American turf, is 2 victim of circumstances over which he had no control, and to which he contributed less, per haps, than any other prominent jockey in the United States.
 Recognized as the premier race driver of the land. Sande suffered loss of his license because of an alleged rough ride on W. M. Jef- ford's lilly, Bateu, in the sl00,oO0 Tinlico furtuity last week.
 The Maryland racing commission revoked Earle's license without hearing his side Of the case, hasing its action upon a ruling of the Plm- lico stewards, who decided that the Jclfords willy had fouled Mrs. J. E. Hcrtz's Reign Count in the running of the futurity.
 The reNoking Of Sande's license in Maryland means that he cannot ride again in the United States Or Canada until restored 10 good stand- irg.
 What was behind this drastic ac- ton on the part of the Maryland commission?
 General dissatisfaction caused by altogether too many questionable rides during the metropolitan racing season which closed last week.
 Foul riding had become altogether too prevalent. some of the jockeys were, as they say. getting away with murder."
 There was no suggestion that Earle Sande had been 4 notorious offender in this respect. Enjoying as clean a reputation as any rider on American turf, Sapde has had his share of suspensions, and 1t has been a mighty small one.
 X couple of years ago Earle prob ably saved the life of q rival jockey by declining to ride rough -shod through a bad jam on q New York track. Sandc nearly lost his own life on that occasion, and was in tho hospital for weeks with Q shattered leg.
 The sequel came when Sande, re stored to health, sought 10 purchase from Benny Brucning, the jockey ho had saved from injury the privilege Of riding the favoritc Tn the Ken tucky Derby, Qua'rain. Benny wouldn't give Ur the mount, SC Sanda signed to rid" Flying Ebony one of the field, and booted thai rank outsider home to d spectacular victory at Churchill Downs,
 Since that time, Sande has put on weight, the bug-bcar of jockey; rNistonce. and his racing days arc numbered. Bat while h" rides, ht always will have an enthusiastic following, for he rides as no othei living Jockey can.
 Tn view of his record, sportsmcr everywhere will regret that stat commission. having reciprocal agree mtnts with all other states Whor' racing is conducted, chose to Ina5' an example. of Sand".
 The need for such an cNanpl' undoubtedly was very great. But 1T Soude's acae, if he was found guilt, Of rough riding in the particular in stance in question. II would seen n9 'hough suspension for 'h" dura
 ion of the meeting at Pinlico woul( ave been sufficient.
 Joseph r.. Widencr, leading spiri of the jockey club, for whom Sand' rides, has gone to Baltimore to tr! to obtain q hearing for Earle. Sand' himself has expressed the opihloi that if his side of thp story of th' lace were heard by the Maryland authorities they would restore hi lictnse.
 The chances are that is what vii 'arpcn.

|HOFFMAN-KELLY BATTLE
 FEATURES AMATEUR CARD
National Light Heavyweight Title Holder Scheduled To Meet Connecticut Mddleweight Champion-Pro- grom is Changed To Have Leberman Fight Joe Mulcahy of New York-Favorites Paired-Ten Bouts Arranged for Evenings Entertainment.

No such interest in any amateur | fight conducted in this city has been shown by the fans as there is at the
 present time in the appearance of
 George Hoffman, national United
 States light heavyweight chamoion,
 against Jack Kelly, state middle "elght champion. in the feature
 bout Of the amateur fight tourna- ment to be conducted tomorrow eve i ming at the Tabs hall
 Hoffman, in his only appearances
 In thls state which was last winter In Hartford, toyed with ole Howard former middlcweight champion and knocked him down almost at will
 lie won by q wide margin making Howard appear as novice ius, ! starting in instead of a man who had attained the highest rung on the
 flStlc ladder in his class in this state. The work of Hoffman was sung | throughout the state and it was only
 shortly after that that he won the
 national title in the tournament in Boston. There also he won with
 ease over his several opponents.
 He meets q different sort of a
 fGEter tomorrow night in Spider kelly. The Connecticut champion has the ability to wage d great de- fensivc battle and if he can keep away from Hoffman tomorrow night, | he will have won at least a moral victory.
 | A change has been made in the card at the request of Bill Lieber- man of Springfield. Lieberman was scheduled to meet Harry Seeche of Hartford but he has asked the Of ] iicials of the Mohawk A. C. to al- low him to meet Joe Mulcahy of New York. Mulcahy is rated as better man than Frankie LaPcra
 whom Liebrman fought last week. Llebcrman thinks that he won that
 bout and he wants to vindicate him. self this week.
 Seeche and Larrivier will probably
 be matched to fill in the bout left open through the moving up of Lie
 herman. If these two are paired of,
 there should be plenty of fireworks. I Larrivier scored victory over Seeche not long ago but Seeche
 claims that he was stale at the time.
 Frank Keenan and Vic Morley will engage in a slugging match to all appearance. Both possess hefty punches and with keenan fighting
 in his usual style. Morley will be
 forced to open up and keep swing ing with him.
 Many are interested in the match between Johnny Clinch of this city and Barney Youseman, state light weight champion, Of Hartford, | Clinch beat Barney before the state tournament last year but a broken thumb stopped him from entering into competition for the state title. Yonseman won it, but Clinch has always wanted to show his superior
 ity over the Capital City Hebrew. Many other favorites from Spring field and other points in this state are carded to meet in the tourna- ment tomorrow night. The bouts shape Up as being fully as lively as were those of last week and with Hoffman and Kelly to top them off. one of the best crowds of the sea- son will be on hand to see the milling. The first bout will be staged
 at S:30 o'clock sharp.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. mickey Walk
er, worlds nniddleweight champion,
tonight goes out of his class to meet
Mike McTigue,, former light heavy
weight title holder, in bout which
will settle nothing in particular, but
promises to be one of Chicago's most
colorful f1stic attractions.
No title will be at stake and the
men will box at catchweights. For
Walker, the fight will furnish an
indication of what he may expect if
he carries through his contemplated
task of becoming a light heavy
weight.
For McTigue it will be just
another chance to make some money.
1t is their second meeting. They
fought a twelve-round no-decision
contest in 1925. Opinion was divided
over the outcome of this bout.
Both fighters are hard right hand
hitters and McTigue probably will
rely on this to win, for it is conceded
the younger Mickey can outlook the
veteran.
Walker is obsessed with the idea
he can whip any of the lightheavys
and if he wins tonight intends i'm
mediately issuing challenges to
Jimmy Slattery and Tommy Lough-
ran, claimants of the title.
Walker expects to weigh 1875
pounds; McTigue, IT'S. On the
Rialto, McTigue is a 6 to favorite.
The bout seems to be a case of
good little man against a good
though aged big man.

fell on it on the Wolverine seven
yard line. This paved the way for
a touchdown. He snsgged passes, he
blocked a punt, and playing in the
oackfield on defense, he smashed
play after play as he backed up the
line.
"Pinky" plays end where Red"
played half back, and therefore has
not quite as much opportunity to
shine. Where his brother, Harold,
was flashy, Garland is workman
like. Where "Red" mainly was an
offensive threat, "Pinky" is valu-
able man on defense.
This is the third season the
younger Grange has tried for a
place on the Illinois team. In
Reds" last year Garland was out
for the team, but recurrence of a
high school injury to his shoulder
bothered him, and he dropped out
of school. The same thing occurred
in 1926. The shoulder then was
operated on.
People began to say "Pinky" was
a "hop"-that he was trying to live
on his brothers reputation. He
decided to show them.
He played good football against
Ames and against Northwestern this
year, but it was against Michigan
he found himself. He probably
never will be the another Grange"
sought these many seasons on
many football fields, but he has
vindicated himself as a competent
football player, and just about as
good an end as there is in the Big
Ten Conference.
