HOWARD IN GOOD
 SHAPE FOR BOUT
Former MiddlsVei6ht Champion Down to 160 Pounds Again

Joe Howard. former state middle weight champion. is in great shape for his coming bout with Hestor Perry of Worcester at the Tabs hall Friday night. This clash will be one of the features of the appearance of the Worcester amateur boxing team in this city this week under the auspices of the Mohawk A. C.
 After going through a stiff train ing session Monday night. Howard stepped on the scales and the indi- cator hit just exactly 1eO pounds. For a long time. the Hartford boxer had been overweight and 1t has been thought all along that he would be unable to scale down to the mid dleweight poundage again. The ease with which he has brought himself around. however, tends to show that he is still in the running for state honors at the title bouts next month.
 His opponent Friday night, is a hefty seeker who will cause the Connecticut boy plenty of trouble. He is considered as hayo king in Massachusetts and has long string of victories to his credit. Howard, planning to enter the state titles for the n1iddleweight crown, is very anx- ious to clean the Worcester boy mp in quick order and a slashing fight is being anticipated, Howard hasn't appeared here in long time. Four other Worcester scrappers are entered for this weeks tourna- meet Vic Carlson of Terryville in ths ITO pound class Both are fast and capable boxers and it will be a surprise if this bout goes the limit. Johnny Clinch of this city is schcd ulod to meet Joe Prestcro in the NelterNeight class. This should be battle of battles as Clinch is also 8 contender for honors in the stat te title bouts.
 Milford Savague. also of Worre= ter will battle Pancho Villa of Hart ford at tG6 pounds. Villa lost close TeClSlOn l1S' week 10 hfHe M3T'ltt, but he will be out 10 win Friday nights match. John Villa Of the Bay State team will battle either Sal Navarro of Hartford or Lou Taylor of Bristol in the lis pound class.
 Teams from Hartford. Terryvill", Bristol and New Britain will form an excellent card of matches to round out the tourna ment. Besides the five feature interstate bouts the intercity matches in the making should prove 10 be fast and exciting.
 A full card of 10 bouts will be listed with some of the best per formers in this section due 10 ap- pear The first bout will be started at o'clock

Harry Hcilmann, Detroit Tiger, Con- sistently Knocking Balls Out Of Southern Parks.

San Antonio, Texas. March 2S F-- The tendency of the major league batting champion. Harry Heilmann, Detroit Tiger. to lift baseballs out of southern baseball fields, this spring. has led to the belief that Harry is priming down to jinx. Recently in an exhibition game the big fielder lifted two four base drives and has been contributing other extra base hits consistently.
 During the past eight seasons Heil- mann has captured the American league batting championships in the odd years. With the even year. the 1928 season before him, Heilmann appears in splendid condition and has assumed unofficially the job of training batters both by example and instruction.

Unable to stand the terrific pace set by the Hartford Rubber Works basketball scoring machine, a group of athletes wearing the colors of the Corbin Screw shop gave their all In last nights game but it was not enough in the last stages of the sec ond half, it saw all it's hopes for the state industrial league title away. The score. 4s to 34. gives the Rubber Works more than enough points to give it series victory over New Britain.
 When the Capital City team came to this city last night to play the New Britain team on the Stanley :. rena floor. it had just lost a game i'll Hartford in the first of the home and home series. According to agree mcnt. the team which scored the greatest number of points in the two games was 10 continue in the race for the state title.
 When consideration is given the fact that the Rubber Works won 20 games and lost only two this year, that they were three years champ ions of Hartford's Industrial League and that they were last years state Industrial champions. too much praise for the showing of the Cor bin Screw team cannot be given. The only losses suffered by the Rubber Works this year were to the Meri- den Endees and 10 the Screw Shop optfit.
 The game was four minutes old before Captain Andy 1akuhoUitz made his teams first point. a foul goal. The score was to 1 before he made another tally. This was made when "Wardy' Waterman crashed into Yakubowitz and suf- tered a long gash over his eye. It was after Waterman had left the lineup that New Britain began to score. Darrow, Mieczkowski, Yaku- bowitz and Arbour came through for scores in 3 speedy rally. New Britain had an Ii to lead at this time
 Urban, who incident'y is 3 former New Britain boy, Geetersloh and Nolan made points that put Hart ford in the lead 12 to II. Yakubow~ itz made it 1S 10 12. Geetersloh h made it fl 10 F within four minutes Of the first half and half a minute later put his team ahead by three points. Whitman and Darrow scored in succession and as half time end | i N r...A
 Second Half.
 Shortly after the second half be- gan with the score B to ol. Hart l ford's favor, Waterman returned to | the lineup with his head in band ages. He led his team in brilliant 1 feet. Toward the end, however. tho Screw Shop players were matching the veteran team. basket for basket.
 It would be hard to pick a star on the winning team. Waterman's clever play was invaluable to his team. Mickey" Madden was mighty good and Eddie Getersloh with sev- on field goals certainly was not idle.
 It would be easy to pick the hero. Waterman came hack to the game after a doctor had put four stitches in the cut over his eye. However, l his eye did not suffer for he made six foul shots out of seven chances.
 Andy kakubowitz was New Brit 1 aims best bet although Mieczkow- ski aided him greatly in the second half. The best defensive play of the Corbin Screw team was turned in by Hank" Arbour who held Babe" Hurley scoreless in the first half and then took Urban and Nolan and held them without score in

 New York, June 99.-Mexico has stepped out this year and made her bow as land for the American tourist to visit.
 In making her bow, Mexico cites the elimination of passport fees, clearing away of "red tape" at bor- der gateways, reduced fares on her railways, and hospitable, low-priced accommod at all the principal points of interest in the republic, of which there are a great pany.
 It's another echo of the good will efforts of Ambassador Dwight w. Morrow. in part.

 Of the rainfall in the plateau sections between June and Sep tember, most IS at night. Round Trip Rates

American railways and steamship companies have co-op- erated with Mexico in this regard, The round trip rail fare from New York City to Mexico City is $135.12, and from Cleveland, Ohio, $104.O5. Combination rail and water journeys are similarly priced.
 Low rates over the Mexican railways are offered tourists who want to make side trips through the republic.

CHEMIST APPROVES
 CITY WATER SUPPLY
Mayor Reveals S4l,S08 Has
 Been Paid to Engineers

Generally speaking. the water coming out Of Shuttle Meadow res crvoir is in very good condition, only on the occasions ot periodic disrup- tion of algeia is 1t noticea bly, dirty, and very rarely does it fail to meet the United States government re- quirements, City Bacteriologist Ches- ter R. Bowers said today shedding new light on the discussion prompt ed by declarations made yesterday by Chairman William l.. Hatch Of the water board.
 Mr. Hatch had declared the water to have been condemned by the state department Of health. The bacteriologist's files at the office of the local health department show one instance. in October, 1927, when he reported to the health board ap- parent contamination in the supply. He attributed this 10 the fact that squirrels in the vicinity of the res- ervoir had suffered an epidemic with contaminating results, which wore off in a short time. At no time during the period of his daily examination Of the product has MT Bowers felt there has been cause for alarm oHer the water supply, he said today
 The water boards claim that the water from Roaring Brook is of low grade because 1t passed through a rnr,jIl1 ,ic by Mir. Bowers who pointed out that this portion of the supply is piped. For some time it was tested at the point of it's entry into Shuttle Mea- dow reservoir but was found 10 be consistently of high grade and tests were discontinued.
