VOTERS To HEAR
LABOR HEAD

Lack Of teamwork on the part OF
the various publicity engineers
operating the baIIyhoo for the
Voters Service program this eve
ming leaves us bit in the dark as
to whether It will be Senator George
Norris OF Nebraska or Senator
Robert La Toilette OF Wisconsin who
will team with President Green, of
the American Federation Of Labor
to tell about Presidential campaigns
from WRC at z o'clock this eve
ming. But whichever one OF the
Senators comes to the .microphone
listeners are promised most inter.
esting and Informative half an hour.
With all due respect to the gen
tlemen from Capitol Hill, our guess
is that the most Informative talk
will come from President Green, OF
the labor organization. Labor lead
efs have been giving some deep
thought to the political situation
in recent conferences apd President
Green has some rather pronounced
ideas regarding the difference be-
tween the economic value Of labor
organizations, as they exist in the
United States and the political
values given them abroad. He is
likely to stress that point rather
sharply and give his listeners some
new ideas regarding American labor
and what it is organized to do.

CHICAGO SOLOIST
SCORES BIG HIT

A marked contrast to this exhi-
bition was the exquisite teamwork
between accompanist and soloist in
the violin exhibition of Henry Sell
niger from WGN late in the eve
ming. We feel sure we understood
Bill HAYS announcement to desig-
nate the violinist as Selinger, who
Is the musical director of WGN
and designer of most Of it's fine
programs. We did not know he
was so finished a. violinist. although
we have long known him to be a
great artist. We think in identify.
ing him we have also identified the
mysterious Phantom Violinist" who
has so often entranced WGN listen
ers. His playing last evening
seemed unusually inspired and his
accompanist, whose name was not
announced, was perfect.
Otherwise the evenings programs
were mostly this and that and the
other regular thing well done In
the regular way. The early evening
concert of the Waldorf Orchestra
seemed to be particularly well
played and well selected and the
peoples Home Orchestra, directed
by Nation Boyce, likewise did well.

RUINED
BY ORCHESTRA

The benevolent spirit Of st. Val
entine must have filled the static
forces last evening, as broadcast
programs came to loud speakers In
excellent volume and great clarity
from all sections. Every little
while there would be q roar and
clatter and bang in the atnos-
phere to assure listeners Just how
terrific q racket could be delivered
to unOffending eardrUIns. Inter.
ference between overlapping wave
lengths was not SO noticeable, al
though fading was annoying In al
sections.
No vicious, unreasoning program,
wildly described by Alofs Haxrilla
last evening as pursuing Nine. Rosa
Raisa in her early life, never harried
and prosecuted her more continu-
ously or successfully, physically,
than she was. artistically, in her
radio concert debut by the Or
chestra. which played accOmpanl-
ments for her in the General
Motors program. we have many
times witnessed the downfall OF sing
ers through the ineptitude OF their
accompanies, but never have we
seen a~nnore relentless and senseless
exhibition of deliberate wrecking or
vocal exhibition as that accom-
plished by the orchestra, and latel'
by a pianist. and violinist, in the
Raisa affair last night.
It required the most acute under
standing OF what would best blot
out and make for naught the work
OF singing artist, to so completely
blanket her tones, disrupt her tempo
and thoroughly destroy the. value
OF fine phrasing and intelligent
interpretation OF the idea Of song.
Mime. Raisa never had chance to
show her voice and her great
musical understanding, save in the
last number she sang, with good old
Pat Conway and his band playing
her accompaniment. We'd hesitate
to select a brass band to accompany
a singer presenting Tosti's Good
Bye but the band last night gave
Nine. Raisa the only opportunity
she had and she took full advantage
of it to give very fine interpreta
ton of one of the most hackneyed
and abused Of compositions for
soprano.

CANADIAN BOXERS
 READY FOR BOUTS
Dominion Scrappers Anxious to 1 Score Wins Here Friday

Letters received by the officials Of the Mohawk A. C. from Canada today state that the members of the Dominion boxing team who are scheduled to appear in this city in a tournament at the Tabs hall Fri day night, are in the best of shape and ready for the best that Con- necticut can offer in the way of fis- tic opposition. The Canadians are keen to win here because of the fact that Friday night will mark their first appearance in New Bri- tain.
 The full list of the team was re- ceived today. It contains the names of six boxers. four of whom will ap- pear on the card here. They are Jean Rattelle. light heavyweight champion: Jack Kendell or Harry Smith. 147 pounds; Harry Chevalier, 1b0 pounds and Ed volkart or George Courturier. lightweights. All of these men constitute the pick of the Canadian amateur battlers in their respective classes.
 What is considered one of the greatest features seen here this sea- son is the scheduled meeting be- tween Rateile, the Canadian title holder. and Jack Kelly of Water- bury, the king of the light heavies in this state. Rattelles work in his two appearances in Hartford, stamps him as a likely candidate to heat Kn11Ny Nt,hi1A ~r,L~ watched Kelly's unbeaten campaign in thls city. figure that he may be able to beat the Canadian. Both boys have the ability to hit hard and if either lands. it should be "cur- tains" for the other.
 Kendell or Smith against Johnny Ciinch will mean the toughest bat tie the New Britain boy has ever had. Kendell and smith, in fight ing 1t out in Canada for honors in tho welterweight class, were unable to score a decisive win over each other. Both have the same style and both are rated as the most clever boys in their class in this country.
 Harry Chevalier, the 150 pound Frenchman, battles Joseph Truex of Holyoke in another feature of the tournament. These two boys are lightning punchers and each has a hefty sock. Truex is the sensation of the amateur ranks in Massach hu- setts and he is very anxious to meet the invader.
 Ed Volkart or George Coururier will be named as the opponent for Ray Taylor, blond-thatched battler from Terryville. Taylor stood up un- der terrific bombardment of punches aimed at him by Bob Ham, ilton of Philadelphia and because of his showing. he was named as one of the boys to meet the Canadian fighters. Taylor should be able to fight the Dominion scrappers on even terms and sensational milling should be in order in this bout Besides these four battles, six other matches have been lined up including another beeting between two heavyweights. Four boys from Holyoke have entered 10 match punches with Connecticut aces. Hartford is sending down several scrappers while zotter, Frisco and Poulet will represent this city in the tournament.

50. CHURCH AGAIN
 TROUNCES TRADERS
Sensational Shooting Marks Past
 County "Y" League Game

Spectacular shooting on both sides featured the fast game in which the South Church Intermediates defeat- ed the State Trade school basketball quintet by 47-32 in an Intermediate County "" league game at the Senior High school last night. Long shots. one hand flips. and push shots made while running away. shots which hovered on the rim for sec- onds before dropping in and shots which went in so cleanly that they failed to disturb the netting all com- bined to make the game hair-rais- ing one. And, as usual, great per- centage of these shots came from the dexterous hands of Clifford Bell, who ran up 16 points as his team battered the Traders for. the third time this year. Henry Rockwell was close behind with Is points and Will ton Mercy had 14, this trio account ing for all but two of tho winners points. Pond. Cohen, and Ander- son were making baskets from all angles for the losers, but they could not stem the tide of tho church team and were never able to take the lead. Tho winners made out of Ia foul tries.
 Within five seconds of the opening whistle Rockwell tossed the ball over his head for | clean goal and Al- though Anderson tied this Mercy dropped in | foul shot and tho church ran up | l3-s lead in the balance of the quarter. Mercy being responsible for seven points during the period. In the second session Bell went wild and made three bas- kets. Rockwell getting two. The Traders were still held in leash and the half.time count was 24-l1.
 The losers rallied sharply in the third quarter. Abel coming up the floor for three nice baskets and An- derson making two clever' shots. Bell continued his drive with a pair of goals so clean that the scorers did not know the ball had gone through the hoop until the referee blew his whistle. This period ended with the score sl-c&. Two one-hand fiips by Cohen and a pair of baskets by Pond kept the Traders close in the early stages of the last quarter. but then Rockwell and Mercy broke loose and the game was safely slowed away. The summary:

 Hartford scored its first point on a foul in oal by Blount called by Ret cree Rorty. Blount fell down in front of the cage and then sat on the ball. St. Aubin scored the sec ond point for Hartford. Alexander then came back and swished the nets twice with pretty shots to tie the count.
 Hartford had 8 picnic at the ex- pense of Blount, New Britainx goal tender, in the second period and q total of seven points was chalked up. This left Now Britain trailing by a nine to two score.
 New Britain made a desperate at tempt to tie the count in the final period when Alexander scored two ed with two moro but Jean and Welch sent in two long shots to make the final score II to 6 in fla yor of Hartford.
 Alexander starred for the locals. McAloon was bottled up by Arriuda. St. Aubin and Welch did fine work for Hartford while Jean starred at center. Lovegreen's goal tending was of high order.

(bY HENRY L. FARRELL
NEA Service Sports Writer


 Jack Dempsey is definitely out of Tex Richards summer fighting pro- gram. Tho colorful former cham pion, who sent the world into hys- terlcs with his seventh round rally in Chicago last summer. is through for the summer and may never fight again.
 Twenty-four hours before Tex Rickard announced that Dempsey could not be in one of his summer spectacles the writer received an answer to q telegram sent to Demp- sey:
 Left eye muscle little weak and may never box again."
 Anyone who has known Dempsey for years, as the writer has known him, realized from that message that Dempsey was through. He never minimized his frailties before. He always was lin the pink and ready to go.'
 His eyes, his friends know. have been bad for long time. The eyes and cheek bones were abused in the Tunney fights and his eye lids were cut open by sparring partners be- fore several of his big bouts.
 We never thought that Dempsey would become doWn-and-outer fighter because he has too much money put away. and one day. sit ting on the back porch of his cot tage in Great Falls where he was training for the Gibbons fight, he said:
 "I.isten, I'm never going to get punched goofy. I'll know when it's time to quit and I'm going to quit then"
 Rickard may not have given out the real reason why Dempsey sud- denly decided 10 pass up a half million. Mrs. Dempsey knows and she's been after hin, for years to quit. He's got enough money and he has earned glory and fame.
 Before the last fight with Tunney, old Bill Muldoon. senior member of the New York boxing commission advised Dempsey to hang up the gloves.
 Live to be old and healthy like | Corbett," Muldoon said. and Demp- sey apparently has decided to do it

 The absence Of Barry from the ring will deprive the fans of the op- portunity of raging him for the count in the Dempsey-Tunney fight.
