'O'RRIEN FAVORED 10 BEAT HAYDEN
Long Odds Are On Springfield
 Boy in Bristol Bout Friday

Billy O'Brien, scrappy little junior featherweight from Springfield, is being favored in the betting, to de feat Sonny Boy Hayden, late of Bris- tol but now of Torrington, in their battle as the feature of the second amateur tight card to be staged in Bristol Friday night. The two will top another popular simon pure card of bouts to be staged at AIuzzy field.
 Hayden has had a long layoff from ring activity that the fans who fol- low the amateur fight game, are con- vinced that the more active boy from from the Bay State will take him this time. Hayden has two decisions over O'Bricn in two encounters in New Britain last winter but the last one was questionable to high de- gree and met with general dis approval among the fans.
 O'Brien, without question, is one of the cIassiest boxers to appear in this section in some time. He has a long string of victories to his credit and he is being groomed for entry into the professional ranks in the future. H" is 3 boxer of uncanny skill and he packs a punch that is liable to end the fight at any time.

Standing

Tonight at o'clock sharp at Wal nut Hill park, the championship of the Junior City League for the sra- son of 1929 will probably be declGed when the Golfers, present IeaGna leaders, and the Phantoms, runners up, clash. The contest is the final one on the schedule for the two teams and may result either i'll a finishing battle for the league or q tie between the two.
 The Golfers have half game lead on the Phantoms. The standing shows the Golfers with eight runs and one loss while the Phantoms have seven wins and two losses. X win for the Phantoms will put the two teams in a tie for the cham pionship of the league and another game will have to be played off to decide the pennant winner.
 The two teams are evenly match ed and should put up great bat-lc. Lefty Cohen is the pitching m1in- stay of the Ghetto Ghosts" while Zembko will probably draw th2 twirling assignment for the Golfers. Both of these men have been through the wars and they will bc on edge for the game tonight.
 Needless to say, each team is con- tident of victory and from the line ups and the record of the teams during the season, there is little 10 choose between them. In certain quarters, the Golfers have been placed as the favorites but the packers of the Phantoms are just as strong in their confidence that the Ghosts" will come through for an- other chance at the title.
 Game on Friday
 The tie game played last Monday night between the Holy Cross Jun iors and the Y. M. c. A., will he played off Friday night according to to an announcement by Milton Berkowitz, president of the league.

MOST AIR.MINDED
 YOUTHS CAN'T FLY
Majority Of WOuld-Be Pilots
 Fail to Pass Tests

Washington, Aug. 2S P-America has become air-minded, but govern ment authorities have discovered than only a small percentage of avi- ation enthusiasts can be made suc- cessful pilots.
 The aeronautics division of the commerce department which is in charge of civil aviation. has been re- receiving in the last few weeks a huge number of applications for student fliers' permts-approxi- mately 600 week. The number of applications in the first half of this year was placed today by Clarence M. Young, recently appointed as- slstant secretary for aerona utics. at l4,S50. compared with 10,679 in the preceding six months.
 But this evidence of q desire of Americans to take to the air" has not proved so productive of success ful pilots officials said, as only l5 per cent of the student fliers quail fy as pilots capable of handling commercial airplanes. A similar sit nation exists in the army and navy. In the army only 25 per cent of the students qualified last year and in the navy slightly higher proportion Roth services, however. expect a larger percentage of successful pi- 'ots to result from training here liter.
 Only One Real Test
 Despite a careful physical examin-
 tion, study of the irrespective stu 'ent fliers family background and nheritnd tendencies and psychologi- '1l tests, neither the commerce de @1rtment nor the two military rer- vices have found an infallible test of flying ability prior to actual tests in the air.
 "The inherent aptitude of flying only can be learned by actual flights" said oae of the commerce aeronoutics officials In the army and navy. the, chief reason for failure of student fliers is due to actual inability to- pilot lairnlnnes.
 Major Young has predicted that "aircraft operations this year. if they continue at Inc pace set in the first months, will be more th'n fthe previous three years combined" fThe commerce department officials are concerned over a possible Fhort- l age of pilots. and are urging fliers i to specialize in single fields of com mercial aviation.
