ELEVEN GETTING
 READY FOR GAME
Football Sselsea to 0pa h This City oa Sunday, September B

Sunday, September B, has been selected as the opeaing date Of the football season for the newly or ganised Nutmeg A. c. eleven. Man. aser Henry zehrer is negotiating with team for appearance, here on that day.
 The team will hold afternoon practice tomorrow at : o'clock. Thurpday night . squad of more than 90 candidates appeared and indications are that the team will be . strong one and an excellent contender for the state champion ship when tho new state league gets under way.
 The squad will be put through their paces tomorrow afternoon. Each man will be required to be in uniform and all workwill be done under the direction of Coach Grat- ton O'Connell.
 Lining up the team. it appears like the All-New Britain team of last year. For ends. there are Grat- ton O'Connell, "Unk" Conley. Carl Brink and Charlie kredar. Tackles will be Werwaiss. Conklin and Cronin. Guards will be the two old standbys, Humphreys and Jumbo" Gnasdow while Steve (Buffalo) So- bieck will alternate with these two. Red" O'Neil and Joe Rogers will be at center.
 Buckley, of Meriden, for three years star of the Fordham Univer- sity team. will play at quarterback He is rated as one of the best to ever have worn a Fordham uniform and he will probably cinch the position.
 The backfeld can be chosen from large aggregation of men such as Pigeon" Conley, Zip" Zehrer, Vic Hadzevich. Happy" Griswold, Or lott, Bergin. Turkey" Claire and Silent John" Davis
 Tom Leary, one of the best ends ever seen in this city. will probably be with the team. He wants to play and the management is plan ming to get in touch with him. Emory from Hobart College is an other who will join the squad.
 In deciding to play the first game at home, the management is mak- ing a popular move with the fans. Plenty of interest is being shown in the team and the plans for its for nation and it's appears now that it will be a worthy successor to the great combination that played under the green colors for so many years.

COACH HORWEEN FRAMING
 HARVARD GRID ELEVEN
Eleven Crimson Lcttcrnlen Expected To De AnsOng Those Present At FItst Practice.

Cambridge. Mass. Sept. 15 R- Eleven HI" men. including six who started in the Yale game last fall, were expected to be among those present today when Arnold Horween, Harvard's head football coach. staged his first practice session in the stadium.
 These veterans and the availabil- ity of several capable players who have been on probation made the Harvard football outlook the bright est It has been since Horween as- stunned control two years ago. He also has much promising sophomore material and three full weeks to whip his team in shape for the open ing game of the fall campaign.
 Among the veterans due to report were Douglas. end; Clark, tackle; Parkinson, guard; Potter Guarnac- cia and Captain French, backs; all of whom started the last Yale game, Burns and Prior, ends; and Mason and Harper, backs. Another was Elliott Putnam. a quarterback who played in the 1926 Yale game.
 HorWeen, however, suffered a great loss when Dudley Bell, who developed into finished center last season, was placed on probation with five other men who would be very useful to the Crimson team this sea : son. Bells loss may force the shifting of Ben Tichnor. fullback and captain of last years freshman team, to center. It was also expect ed that Horween would be forced to move Captain French out of his haifback position. where he starred last season, to plug up the hole at quarterback,

NEW BRITAIN FANS
 AT YANkSTADIUM
Hlpdrsds From 1hs City Try
 .Ydnly to Get h
Survival of the fittest!

This is an expression that is used commonly when speaking of the experiences which the founders Of this country underwent years ago However no other words can % plainly explain the situation that existed at tho Yankee stadium in New York last Sunday when more than s5.000 battled their way into tho ball park to witness the classic series of the year between the Yankees and the Athletics. Exactly l25.OO0 people stormed the gates in attempt to secure the pasteboards.
 Many people from this city left on the excursion train Sunday morn- ing. The train arrived in New York at II o'clock exactly, an hour after the gates had been opened at the stadium. In side of one hour over 4O.O00 tickets had been disposed of and when the local people arrived at the park there remained about 100 bleacher seats. As the New Britain fans hopped off the subways they noticed long line. four deep, that led to window marked re- served seats Three fourths of them ! jumped into this line and met with great disappointment. Sale of tick cts i'll the reserved section had stopped and because of the large number in line. the police decided that It would cause too much con- fusion if they broke it up. This line | formed af i nsnlnol- nd later it was still there. It was an amusing sight to see prominent doc tors. lawyers and other business men from this city flashing around with mad looks in their eyes in futile attempt to gain entrance to the field.
 50 Tickets for 300,
 A party of seven young men from this city overheard cop telling d lady that there were d few bleacher seats on sale on the other side ot the stadium. Starting on a mad sprint they dashed to the bleacher ticket offices and found 500 mad human beings struggling and fight ing to get tickets. With only about 50 tickets left the local boys cause seemed lost. Finally they decided to put their manners aside and i walked up to the beginning of the line which was about ten deep. Sud denly one of the boys called out a few football numbers and made a wild plunge into the crowd. He hit the line with q bang and while the lrate customers were attempting to 1 drag him out the rest of the New Britainites slipped into the line. Iron fences ran from the ticket box out for about l5 feet. People caught in between these all but lost theil lives. Pushing and kicking, utter ing oaths and threats, the mad fans battled for tickets.

JONES FAV0RITE
 ID BEAT PERKINS
English Amateur Champion Meets Bobby in Finals Today

Brac Burn Country Club. West Newton, Mass. Sept. 15 UP)-A I.ancastershire lad whose spectacles give him an expression of owlish good humor but whose eye for the straight path to the pin is as keen as any in golf. faced the monarch of the American links today in the first international final the American amateur championship has known in IT years.
 T. Phillip Perkins. es year old amateur champion of Great Britain and Bobby Jones. American title holder, teed off at Brae Burn to de- termine whether the Atlantan was to win his fourth title in five years CT whether the crown was to be car r.ed overseas 10 the land where golfing crowns originated.
 The American champion was 2 to 1 favorite. but there was little tendency to underrate the ability of the young cotton broker who has great pair of golfing hands and nerves of steel and whose progress through the tournament at Brae Burn has been quietly impressive.
 The match was at 36 holes, an undoubted advantage for Jones. who is playing these days as though he were unbeatable at the distance. The last time they met, Bobby beat the British champion. 13 up and F to play, the worst beating. in fact, that ever was administered in an inter national match for the Walker cup.
 Bobby himself insisted that the result of that match at Wheaton last month should be thrown out. as the turf experts say, in calculating the chances of the competitors in today's final.
 "I got the breaks at the start of that match" admitted Jones.
 It is Bob's theory that once a golfer gets a lead of four or five holes in a S6 hole match his op- rOnent is at such disadvantage that the margin may well be in creased to ten CT 15 holes without the comparative merit of the con- testants being accurately demon. i. strated. The man behind is con- stantly pressing to catch up and ts forced to take all the chances.
 In his progress 10 the final round to bring an international aspect to today's match. Tim" Perkins dis posed of such excellent golfers as "Ducky' Yates. conqueror of George Won Elm. Johnny Dawson the Chi caso shot maker and George Voight, the medaiist. whom he beat in the semi-fnals and 1.
 The British champion is the first from overseas 10 reach the finals Of an American amateur championship since Harold Hilton's year in 1911. when Hilton won the title in S7 hole match with Fred Herreshoh at Apawamis.
 Golf experts arc comparing Per kins' game with that of Hilton. While lacking the delicate touch or the former champion the Lancaster

TO OPEN UP IN RUSSIA
New Fields to Be Established With Less Handicaps For COncessiOi'- naircs Eliminated.

Moscow, Sept. 15 R-New fields are to be opened for foreign capital in Russia and many handicaps un" der which concessionnartes have sul- fered will be eliminated.
 The soviet government in an- nouncing sweeping changes in its concessions policy said 1t was Ito popularize foreign concessions and attract foreign capital" The de- cision was reached by the council of peoples commissars after a lengthy report from the main concessions committee.
 Permission to export foreign cur rency will be facilitated for conces- sionnarics in the future. Payment of
 taxes will be simplified by making
 them payable in a lump sum to one
 organization. Holders of conces-
 sions heretofore have found laws
 requiring payment of various taxes to different organizations irksome.
 Concessionnaries will be allowed
 to import raw materials free of duty
 for the construction of their plants if the materials are not available in
 Russia. In esta ablishing their plants
 all capital must come from abroad in the first instance. but thereafter
 they will be permitted 10 utilize a
 part of their profits for further de- velopment.
 The fields named for special privi- leges include manufacture of ma chinery. paper pulp. automobiles,
 artificial silk and tanned leather.
 Other concessions will be available in the transportation. mining. cleo tricity lumber. cotton. sugar. dairy
 ing and building fields.

Speakins of Sports

QS 0POVk04 \ Ae>e>>eAae6oeess4Aeeeee5
 Representatives of the Falcon end Remington baseball teams met last night but came to no definite agreement concerning g game or . series of games between there re- speottye combinations. The di6er. encss encountered were more in the nature of details that can cas- lily be irsned out and 1t is confident ly expected that they will come to terms.
 Another meeting has been sched- uled for Monday when iRvestiga- tions now being carried on. will be finished and the feeling is that noth- ing will stand in the way of the representatives coming to definite agreement.
 Two games to be played tomor- row might seriously upset the plans of these two managers and 1t ls thought that the agreement mas been held up pending the outcome of the contests. Kensington plays the Rangers in the final game of the series with that team while the fai. cons meet the Burritts in the third clash in their private duel.
 Should the Rangers defeat Ken sin1ton. the Rangers will be the winner of that series. If the Bur ritts defeat the Falcons, the Burritts will beb the favorite to cop the dc. ciding game in the series. Tomor- rows contests are important for all the teams concerned.
 Whether defeats for both the Falcons and Kensington or one or the other of the two teams, will make any appreciable difference in their relations to each other, is problematical. We are inclined to believe that the two teams will play regardless of the outcome of to- morrow's games.
 New Britain's new football team, the Nutmess, will pen up the sea- son on Sunday. September 2s, ac- cording to a announcement today by Manager Henry Zip" Zehrer. The advisory council of the club has decided to play the first game at home and a game is in the works at the present time.
 Members of the council and play CTS on the tea mare against play ink very many of the seasons games away from home except where nec- essary. Of course. when the league gets into action. the team will have to play where the games are sched- uled.
