HOLLYWOOD'S most famous en-
l. l. gagged pair-Clara Bow and Harry
Richman-are being showered with con:
gratulations from all parts Of the world
since the announcement of their APP
preaching marriage, the press agent
says.
Richman has received hundreds OF
kilograms, cablegran1S and long distance
telephone calls felicitating him. One
morning he was awakened at O'Clock
at the Joseph M. Schenck home, where
he is a guest, by telephone call from
Montreal, Canada. One of Richman'a
friends merely wished to congratulate
him!
Great" was Harry's sleepy reply.
"But why get me out of bed in the mid
die of the night? Couldn't you have
called me in the daytime?" "Daytime?'
yelled the friend. "It's 10 o'clock in the
morning here!"

CUBS CRACKL|NG WITH CURIOSITY
Anxious to See What They Can
 Do Against Athletics

Chicago, Sept. 2G (P,-Joc Me Carthy's hustlinS Cublets have read so much Of the near infallibility of their world series opponents, the Philadelphia Athletics. that they are cracking with curiosity.
 Hack Wilson, the distinguished Pennsylvania Dutchman who spe- c.alizes in homo runs, is eager to see if he can slap one or more Of Lefty Groves portside sIants out O. the park.
 kiki Cuyler, who has pilfered 40 bases so far this season, wants to test the famed throwing arm Of Catcher Mickey Cochrane
 Guy Bush, leading pitcher Of tn HoyGIcr circuit, who gets a ereate thrill out of base hit for himself than striIlcout, wants to prove he is q dangerous man with bat. Gle got five hits last scason.)
 Pat Malone wants to see If hl5 speed bah is the best in both leagues
 "Murderers row" composed 0, Rogers Hornsby, Cuylcr, Wilson and Riggs Stephenson. wants chance to prove it can slaughter the best pitching in the American League as completely as in the National.
 Stephenson wants to come up to bat with the bases chohed and de terminc whether he can "swoop 'em all in"
 Not enc of the Cubs plan to sccK personal glory at the expense ol team unison, they insist, but they all want 10 glt Q chance 10 prove their s3ec.alttcs would be pcaSible by them in the American League, which holds the edge on their circuit in gaining worlds championships,
 Each can be noticed any tim" studying Athletic records for this season. Each has his opponent closely analysed except for HacH Wilson. who likes to take 'cm as they come along"
 The pudgy- ever ready fight Cup ccnterfielder is polishing up a new willow for the fray and whether hc slams homers or Whiffs. he is cer- tain to provide thrills for the thrill seeking world series crowd.
 Were ready for those fellows right now" Hack said. I've read and heard so much about their great team it sounds like a fairy story. | I'm interested to know if it's all true"
 Hope I can do lot of batting,' Bush said. Hack Wilson kids me about my hitting but who knows but what l may drive in some runs, Don't worry about my pitching, I'll be tossing them fast and sure"
 My speed ball is all set to go Malone explained. While I don't work for strikeouts altogether, I'll harvest q crop of them. I think"
 Al ah wants q chance to sWoop runners in," said Stevic, the pride of Alabama.
 "I never felt better in my life" Cuyler responded. Al season have heard I couldn't steal as many bases in the American League as l have in the National But I'll be after free onc2."

CHICAGO CUBS IN
 DAILY PRACTICES
Players Determined to Keep in
 Shane for World Series

Chicago, Sept. 26 UP)-Those Chicago Cubs, National league pen nant winners, faced with several idle days, are going through daily prac- tice to keep in shape for their worlds series clash with Connie Mack's Athletics.
 Optimistic over several recent hap peninGs. the Cubs believe they can beat the American league entry. Up permoat among the things which have caused optimism in the Chicago team is the fact that Gabby Hartnett finally has been able to get into a ball game.
 IIartnctt certainly is not the thrower he once was but he has demonstrated that he is capable of getting into a game and making a good account of himself. Gabby's bad right arm, which has kept him out of the lineup all season has at Inst responded to care and Hartnett thinks now that he can hold base runners where they belong.
 Meanwhile the Cubs management went through the business Of hand ling worlds series reservations. They have three requests for every ticket availab blc and the lucky ones who receive tickets will not know of their good fortune until October ,.
 On that rate the tickets will be mailed out. Those who receive tick cts will get them by registered mail and those who To not will receive merely polite letter informing them that the demand was too great for the supply.
 The Cubs have stressed every angle possible on seating arrange ments. They are building temporary bleachcrs in two streets and these blcachers, by the good grace of a city council permit. will allow ap proximately 1000 additional persons to see the series.
 To erect them it was necessary to block off two streets. but the council allowed that without any dissenting votes.
 The first game is a certain sell-out and the Cubs expect to take in .ap- proximately $25, 900 for that game, and the second contest of the series is expected to do about the same. The chief worry of the management now seems to be "how are we going to put three people in one seat for there are three requests for every cpat

 Battle American Invaders

Lancaster, Ont. Sept. 2G Pt- Three Canadian women golfers be- gan their last stand today against the invaders from the United States in the quarter final round of the Canadian ladies golf championship. They were the only players from the Dominion left to battle against five Americans, and today's third round matches sent each of them out against United States opponents.
 Mrs. E. W. Wilmington of Tor onto has probably the hardest pros pect She played Helen Hicks, stocky Hewlett. N Y, star who IS favored to reach the final round. Miss Hicks has played brilliantly in the first two rounds. Yesterday she eliminated the defending champion, Virginia Wilson of Chicago in stirring battle which ended on the last green.
 A second international match brought Mrs. F. J. Mulqueen. who had the honor Of eliminating an- other former champion. Helen Pay son of Portland, Me. the 1927 title holder, in her third round match.

After the New Britain eleven had the ball Q short time it advanced it 10 midficld where Al Middleton slip ped through the line and ran for touchdown.
 Later, the first team went out and Coach Cassidy sent in the sec ond team. The battle was close with these two teams but when the New Britain high third team went into action the tired Plainville az grcgation showed it was better team.
 It was against the thrd-stringers that the Plainvillc boys scored touchdown. French, quarterback. threw a long pass over the middle of the line and it was grabbed py Cafaraln, right end. who cut i:1 front of the goal, took the pass and stepped across the line unmolested. It was a pretty play and was eXr- cuted from one of Coach Caulfeld's trick forward passing combinations
 The Plainville high school team should be a strong bet in games with teams in it's own class. The boys who wore the Plainvlle uni form yesterday showed they pos sess plenty of fighting spirit. Coach Caulfeld was in among the line men and checked them on each misplay.
 There were many members of the New Britain high schools alum nj body at the sCrimmage and ail were loud in their praise of tn" regular outfit. The team has a few spots which need a little polish but to many of the alumni the team B practically ready for mid-scason games Like Coach Cassidy they agree that the backfeld will be the problem. The line is strong and powerful and if the individuals. whether or not they are veterans. will settle down and play the game seriously, this portion of the team will be the strongest in the state. New Britain high schools start | ing team was: Dumin, center: Pots and Mikalauskas, guards; Ludino- wicz and Neverdoski. tackles; Bog danski and Mangan, ends; Ross, quarterback; kloibcr and Middle ton, half backs, and Carlson, full 1 back
 Plainvillo's starting lineup was as follows: Caffarall and J. King, ends; Yeomans and Wagner. | tackles; Munella and Buell., guards; Smith, center; French. quarter back; Hubbard and Hallback, half ! backs and Barbour, fullback.
