CHICAGO, october 23.--Mushy CAL
lahan, world junior welterweight box
ing champion, will attempt to halt the
climb of another championship as
pirant tonight, when he meets Bobby
Tracey, rugged Buffalo battler, over
the 10-round route In the Hippodrone

Callahan's title will not be at stake,
as both fighters have agreed to enter
the ring five pounds over the junior
welterweight limit.
Tracey, who is regarded as a great
club fighter, has boxed two draws with
Jimmy Goodrich of Buffalo, former
lightweight champion, and is in good
shape for the promised heavy exchange
of rights and lefts
The champion celebrated his return
to active competition after long rest
recently by outpointing Jimmy owens

Junior Order United American Me-
chanics League is enjoying a spirited
race, with three teams deadlocked for
the lead and others crowding the top
for honors.
Edward j. Ross, Liberty Bell, and J.
Morgan Read Councils are deadlocked
for the top round at present.
Six of the seven teams swing into
action tonight at Recreation Center and
any one of the three leaders may
emerge with slight lead.
Efforts are being made to admit
American Jefferson Council team to the
league to round out an eight-club loop.
1t Is probable that an eight-team
woman's doubles league will be COM
pletely organized tomorrow night at a
meeting at the Arcadia, in John S.
Blicks Office.
All of the staG woman bowlers of
the city and vicinity have been invited
to enter the circuit. and it is expected
that the circuit will rival the new Dis
trict Doubles League in popularity.
Plans which have proved successful
for the mems doubles loop will be fol-
lowed in organizing the women's.
Matches will be rolled each Saturday
night on either the Arcadia or Conven-
ton Hall alleys, with prospects favoring
the former.
Among the pinettes expected to roll
in the league are: Rene Levy, Lor-
raine GULL, Mrs. Irene Mischou, Mrs
Elsie Fisher, Gladys Lowd, Dorothy
Goodall, Bronson Qualities, Bertha
Greevy and other stars of District and
Washington Ladies' League.
Those interested in the new league
will meet at o'clock tomorrow night.
Recreation continues to lead Ladies
District League by a single game over
Never Davis and Lucky Strike teams,
which are tied for second place.
Marjorie Bradt has been the indi-
yidual sensation of the league to date,
holding high set and high average
marks. s Lorraine GULL turned in the
best game to date with 134.

n YEW YORK, october 23.-Wil-
liam F. Baker, owner OF the
NJ Philadelphia Nationals, is sc
assured of a future for his club
that he has turned down a
chance to sell it and will stick it out
until he is tired of base ball, or until
he gets an offer that is too dazzling
to refuse.
One of the most prominent men in
base ball stood ready to purchase the
Philadelphia club, in company with
other gentlemen. Baker declined to
nut a price on the stock that was in
reason with the sum that the prospec-
tive buyers felt the team to be worth,
with its franchise, ground lease and SO
on. Thus the efforts to obtain control
of the Phillies by men who are promi-
nent in Philadelphia, and who know
something of base ball, fell through.
BY obtaining Tommy Thevenow from
St. Louis at a reputed price of $4,000
and the exchange of Heinie Sand,
Philadelphia shortstop, Baker has given
the impression that he is going on
next season with higher ambitions than
he has had in the past. He thinks
he has a chance to fight up into the
first division, even if the Phillies did
finish last this year. And as ne has
said that Burt Shotton will continue
as manager of the team, it looks as
if Baker is about to enter the season
of 1929 with assurance to himself that
he is on the upgrade instead of stag
mating at the bottom of the heap.
1t has been said that the owners of
the ST. Louis Nationals would like to
invest in the Philadelphia property.
This statement may have arisen from
the fact that Manager Shotton of the
n snfn M
then with the st. Louis club. The st.
Louis owners think much of his judg-
ment Baker is also beginning to think
much of it.
When the rumor was circulated re-
Gently that the Fisher interest of auto
mobile fame, might buy the franchise
of the st. Louis Cardinals, it was said
that this was part of a general swing
around by which the former st. Louis
owners would go into Philadelphia and
attempt to rebuild the National League
club there.
But If Baker is convincing himself
that he can succeed in Philadelphia
and if the ST. Louis club is not to be
sold by Sam Breadon, who says there
is no intention on his part Of getting
out of base ball in st. Louis, then the
National League will start the season
of 1929 with the present owners in
both of those cities and with recon-
structed Philadelphia club that may
begin to climb out of the cellar.
There have been persistent rumors
that a change in ownership may be
made in Boston, but at the present
moment it seems if the probable trans
fer of Rogers Hornsby to the Chicago
Cubs will have any stock deal by which
the club might change hands.

ULVER|zED ROCK
SEES TITLE CHANCE
Apt to Get RiSko Match in
New York-0ther Boxers
Not So Strong.
BY FAIR PLAY.

n YEW YORK, October 23.-Tom
IN Heeney plans to leave his New
VI Zealand home tomorrow and
/ reach these shores just in time
to get the benefit of the heavy
weight ballyhoo which is expected to
reach its peak November 4, when
Paolino Uzcudun tackles Otto Won Porat.
Pairing the Basque with the former
worlds amateur heavyweight champion,
Billy Young Stribling with Jack Dorval
and Knute Hansen with Roberto Roberti
IS the lineup at present, with Heeney,
Jack Sharkey and Tommy Loughran
still to be mated up.
The pulverized rock from down I'M
der" will be given consideration. and the
signs point to meeting with Johnny
Risko. Heeney was awarded decision
over Risko, but the easy manner in
which Gene Tunney handled the New
Iealander raised the question even at
this late date, whether Tex Richard did
the right thing in nominating Heeney
for the titular spot despite the better
all-around record of the Cleveland rub
Der man.
Risko did not look so good in his last
lew lights. Not that John was punched
around. but the let-down in his charges
and the easy manner his opponents held
HtAAAA Al NAAC NAAAA(A1CO DIONCu
Dunn's statement that his man needed
good rest Danny had Risko fighting
bit too often for big fellow and his
work suffered. With a good rest under
his belt, Risko will be ready to toe the
mark and make trouble for the rest of
the gang clamoring for the right to be
named leader of the class.
Tom Heeney versus John Risko looks
like natural. Both are honest fighters
trying all the time, and especially is this
true when one considers the fact that
the men are mad at each other.
With Heeney on deck interest in the
big fellows will pick up. But If the New
zealander is fortunate in whipping the
rest of the field there will be no need Of
naming the successor to Gene Tunney.
1t will mean that the class as a
whole Is joke and will have to strug-
gle along until some youngster, unknown
at present. breaks up the dull circle and
puts new life in the class.

Despite boil on his arm, Dundee put
plenty of action into the fight and
angford was frequently shaken to his
heel with rights to the jaw and over

The champion had Langford sized up
after the third round and won with
cpparent ease, though he did not show
the accurate punching he displayed
when he took the title from Pete Latzo
more than a year ago. Occasionally
Jangford reached him with rights to
the jaw, but they did no damage.

WEST WOODSTOCK

The severity of the weather prevent ed any church service Sunday,
 Mrs. Charles Davis of Providence is spending this week at the Randall Da- wis place.
 Mr. and Mrs. r. J. Williamson and Miss Mary Williams of Hartford were here over the weekend.
 Mrs. Jane Nj. Brett of New York City, accompanied by her bruther-in- jaw, E. B. Stevens of Longmeadow, spent few hours in town Saturday.
 Mrs. Louis P. Hayward and Miss Elizabeth Hayward motored to Wor- eester Monday, and Wednesday to Providence Madame Madeline Ben samon accompanied them on the last trip.
 The following pupils were perfect in attendance for the month of April : Bernice Marcy, Grade Francis Sum- ner, Grade 3; Alice Johnson, Elisabeth Perrin, Thelma Williams, Grade 1 Ruth Place, Onni Rutanen, Clara Vel ker, Grade 3; Harvey Pierce, John Perrin, Grade '.
 Speaking of the relative merits of ineubators and hens, we have to admit that the former with it's modern im- provements isn't far behind the latter. For example, Mrs. Lizzie Caulkins' first experience with her wooden hem is eighty-seven chicks from f12 eggs, and four hens at Longmeadow Farm matched at the same recent date forty eight from fifty-two eggs. To be just to both will say that the eggs all came from the same place. We will let the gentle reader decide which deserves the blue ribbon.
 The speaking and spelling contest of the West school, which was held last Thursday afternoon, was we'll attend ed and very interesting. Miss Elinor Esterbrooks had the honor of being chosen for the best speaker, Harry Pierce, second. Many others deserve mention and no doublt will be coming in for their share of glory later. The spelling was won by Harry Pierce, Bernard Sumner second. The judges were Mrs. Edith Clauson. Wayland P. Harris, and Miss Maude Perrin. The instructor, Miss Gareau, is doing good work in the school and the pupils show the result of her ambition to instill the three R.'s in their youthful minds and some besides.
