Form Sunday School
Baseball League

If enough interest is manifested
it is hoped that a Sunday school
baseball league can be formed in the
city. according to the Rev. Emmit
P. Day, pastor OF the First Presby-
terrain church.
The Rev. Day explained that other
cities have this league and there
should be no reason why Browns
vile should hesitate to do SO.
Enough talent is to be found in the
various Sunday schools of the city
to create a very interesting circuit.
It was explained that it will be
necessary to have the cooperation
of all the Sunday schools and a
harmonious organization for the
league to be a success.
The Presbyterian pastor expressed
himself as being highly in favor
Of the league and pledged his heart
lest support to the forming of such.

Standing

The Golfers swamped the Phan- toms Is to ? at Walnut Hill park last evening in the game which gave the winners the championship of the Junior City baseball league. The Phantoms had a chance to tie for the leadership by winning the game but they never had a chance with the champions last night.
 "Butsy" Zembko was master of the Phantoms after the first inning when he allowed the losers two of their three hits. He famed ten and was never in danger. After the first inning he did not allow a loser to reach third base and only two of the Phantoms got as far as second base after the opening session.
 It appeared as though the Phan- toms were going to walk away with the game in their first turn at bat. Truman slammed the first pitched ball for a home run to right field. After the next two batters famed Buchas reached first on Covaleski's tumble of his grounder. Lipman sent a QrlNe to le1C 1lel0 WHICH bounced over Miller's head and went for a triple, Buchas scoring.
 The champions showed that they meant business when they took their turn at bat in this inning. Three hits coupled with a base on balls and a pair of errors gave the winners five runs and a lead which they never lost.
 From this time on the only ques- ton to be decided was how many runs the winners would score. When the Golfers were not hitting Camps offerings to all corners of the lot, the losers were helping the winners cause by making all sorts of errors If Collier got on base it seemed as though the whole Phantom team would do it's best to see that he scored.
 The losers were completely out classed while the winners proved to be real champ Dions.

CHOCOLATE MEETS
 SINGER TONIGHT
Two Natural Fighters to Clash al Polo Grounds in New York

New York, Aug. 29 P)-If any thing is lacking to make tonight's battle ct the Polo Grounds betwe n Kid Chocolate of Cuba and Al Singer Of the Bronx a great gate attraction, the fans have not found it. With the promise before them of two natural fighters meeting in he years natural" of fights, they have been wasting no time in getting tickets.
 Each boy has large local follow ing and their packers have been arguing for months as to their re- spcctive fighting abilities. The con- tract fer the scrap calls for them to make 130 pounds when they-weiai' in at the Polo Grounds this after noon, but an unofficial agreement limits Singer to 12S4 pounds with a good sized forfeit hanging on that poundage.
 The streak of black lightning from Cuba is not expected to weigh more than PA pounds while Singer TO turned from his training camp under the limit set.
 The records of the two principles show plenty to justify the interest of the fans although there is no;l.- ing even family resembling a title at stake. Chocolate never has lo.,t bout in his busy career and has been held to a draw only once. Jcc Scalfaro landed one terrific punch right at the start of their battle and had Chocolate fighting to save him.

HAYDEN IS READY
 FOR BOUT FRIDAY
Bristol Amateur Scrapper Faces
 Real Test at MuZZy Field

Sonny Boy Hayden, who last win ter in the state championship anna teur boxing tournament in New Haven, came through to win the bantamweight title, will face real test Friday night in Bristol when he tackles Billy O'Brien of Springfield in the main bout of the second anna teur fight card of the season to be staged at Muzzy Field. Hayden has been inactive in the ring for some time but he has been in strict train ing for the past three weeks and is reported 10 be in excellent shape for the coming encounter.
 O'Brien and Hayden staged two of the most exciting kinds of scraps in New Britain last winter with Hay den taking the decision in both of them. In the last encounter between the two, the decision was so close that the majority of the fans vociferously disagreed with the referee.
 With this in mind. O'Brien figures to make Friday nights bout a de- cisive one. Hayden figures the same way and as the boys are rivals of the most bitter sort, there Is sure to be plenty of fireworks in the meeting. They will meet at 122 pounds.
 This bout will headline a card of eight amateur fights to be staged under the auspices of the Park A. c. Teams from Springfield and Torring- ton will De figured in the bulk of the Scrapping but a number of other feature bouts have also been plan ned. Among these is the scrap of fered between Al Taylor of Bristol and Jackie Vietts of Torrington at 115 pounds.
 Another feature on the card is the semi-f final between Frank Grady of Torrington and Walter Krass of Springfield. These two are in the light heavyweight division and will weigh in around 165 pounds. Both boys are hard punchers and predic- tions are freely made that the bout will never go the limit. In the 155 pound class, Jack kules of Torring- ton will battle Billy Pratty of Spring field.
 The first bout of the night will go on promptly at S:30 o'clock.
