Willow Brook park is the scene to- day of the second battle between the baseball teams of the New Britain and Meriden Police departments. The game, scheduled 10 start at 2:30 o'clock, is the second and final one in the home and home series played annually between the two.

 The lineups of the team will be the same as started last week. Both crews will be at their full strength and plenty d excitement will attend the game.
 A large crowd of spectators is ex- pected to turn out for this tasty morsel of baseball as reports coming from police headquarters states that the sale or tickets in general has l been very large.
 Following the contest, visiting guests and members of both teams will be entertained at a supper and social time at the Elks' home or | Washington street.

! NEW RECORD MADE
 AT PEBBLE BEACH
John Dawson Sets Mark for Amateur in Practice Round

Del Monte, Cal, Aug. 2S R-- Amateur golfers practicing over the revamped Pebble Beach course near here had a new course record ol T to shoot at today, in their prepara- tions for the national amateur cham : pionship starting next Monday.
 And incidentally that Il was not made by National Champion Bobby Jones who is here to defend his title. It was shot by John Dawson, Chicago golfer who was senli- finalist this year in the British ams- teur championship, par for the course is 72.
 Jones, who was to match shots to- day with Cyril Tolley. the British amateur champion, Francis Brown, ; former Hawaiian champion and Phillips Finlay of Redlands, Cal, former intercollegiate champion, took 73 for his second round of tie course yesterday. He had had the same card for his first round tEo day before.
 Where he was careless and non | chalant on Monday, Bobby was stu dious yesterday, although the resn!' was the same, He went out III 35 one under par, and returned in SS i two over par. The best card in tht champions foursome was that of Dr | Paul Hunter of Pasadena, Cal, who was out in 35 and back in 37.
 Jones' partner in the foursome Jack Neville, California amatou' i champion, ran into trouble on hi: second shots. and was forced tt pick up on five holes, ruining 'li' score. George Won Elm of Detroit who won the national amateur 'itlt in 1926, was paired with Dr. Hunter and went out in 3S and back in 37,
 The gallery was disappointed ii Bobby, who had been generally ex pected to break into the sixties Most of the match he paid strict at tention to the play, tramping owe the course and studying the contour of the different holes, the possib;li ties of interference from wind on th outer fairways, and the roll of th greens Even the rough and th traps Chandler Egan of Medf1r1 Ore, built into the course in re vising It won his attention, and no from necessity.

WHITNEY HORSES
 FAVORED IN RACE
Boojum OF WhichOne Expected to Win Rich Hopeful Stakes

New York, Aug. 2S PeIf there is such a thing as having strangle hold on the 1929 two year old turf championship, Harry Payne Whit ney has it.
 And he is prepared to show his strongest hand Saturday when more than a score of juveniles go forth to battle for the rich hopeful stake and a leg on the two-year title at fashionable Saratoga. Boojum. speedy son of John P. Grier and unbeaten in two races. and Which one, winner of three out of four starts, are the pair upon which the Whitney stable is ready to pin it's faith.
 Hailed as the best horse bred since Man O'War, Boojum made walkaways of his two races over the Widener straightaway at Belmont Park, breezing home lengths in front of mediocre fields. The late James Rowe, Sr., veteran trainer for the powerful Whitney stable, rated the son of John P. Grier the fastest youngster he had ever trained.
 While many experts are of the same opinion, there are others who declare that Whichone is the better of the two. This son of Chicle has had one experience that Boojum hasn't-that of winning a race over an oval track. And right there is where Boojum may fall down. In workouts to date, he has shown a tendency to bear out on the turns.
 So well-liked are the Whitney colts that they are expected to go to the post at odds as low as to 5 the shortest quotations since Man O'War turned in his hopeful victory in 1919.
 But whereas the public has shown a decided leaning toward the light blue colors of Whitney, there is a set of owners and trainers who be- lieve they have youngsters in their stable capable of beating the mighty Whitney threat for hopeful honors
 To sustain their argument they point to the inconsistency of the crop of two-year- -olds. They all have beaten each other save ir isolated cases like that of Booiun which has started only twice. Eacr shift of weights has seen a new winner. Each change of track con- ditions has caused transfer of the laurels of victory.
 Two hundred and twenty-two colts and Allies are eligible for the fina | classic of the Saratoga meeting witt more than 20 expected to face tn, | barrier. The Saratoga course ca, easily handle 80 starters.
 The field probably will be drawl from the following: Belair Stud 1 Gallant Fox, Peto and Flying Gal E. R. Bradleys Broad Meadows an, Breeding Through; Clifford A. Coch rams Polygamous: w. R. Coe' Black Majesty, Caruso and Maya A. H. Cosden's Bud Broom; Fair stables Sarazen II and Imperia Air; James Gaffney's Suueaky Greentree stables Luxury and Ro many; H. P.

Efforts of Ken Saunders, president

Efforts of Ken Saunders, president of the City Baseball league, to ar range a date for the playoff of the tie between the Burritts and the Holy Cross teams have proven un- availing and he has washed his hands of the entire matter. It is now up to the managers of the two teams to decide the question for them- selves.
 The president and Commissioner James Naughton of the recreation commission ordered the games to be played this coming Saturday so that the series with the Industrial league champs could be started a week from Saturday. The Burritts notified officials that number of their play CTS have left town on their vaca- tions and therefore they would be unable to play this Saturday. The game was the put over to the fol- lowing Saturday but this date met with the disapproval of the Holy Cross management.
 The managers of the two teams met Monday evening but could reach no agreement, the Burritts standing strong for their points and the Holy Cross for theirs. Attempts to have twilight game also failed. The president attempted to settle the matter last evening but failed.
 AS the managers of both teams are the ones who are voicing ob- jections to the dates set by the league officials, it is up to them to make an agreement for the playoff. They are reminded that the series with the winners of the factory league was planned early in the sea- son and therefore the league was started earlier than usual so that there would be ample time to play 1 the series

The Plant Quarantine

The senate finance committee, through a pro-
vision In the tariff bill, seeks to lift a virtual en-
barge which has been applied against importation rf
al plants from foreign countries in the past few
years.
The finance committee explains that the original
purpose OF the quarantine act, under which the de-
partment Of agriculture works, was to prevent plants
being admitted to the United States bearing diseases
or pests which might prove a menace to agriculture
or horticulture.
For many years the quarantine was used for this
purpose but in 1919 the secretary OF agriculture,
PROMPTED by the federal horticultural board, set up
q quarantine barring all plants from all countries.
with the exception Of specified groups. Since that
time the list Of exceptions has been constantly mar
rowed until there are very few plants that can be
shipped into this country.
The purpose Of the senate finance committee :
to prevent anything being barred from the country
unless there is danger Of spreading plant disease OF
pests. The committee has placed in the tariff bill
the provision that the plant quarantine act "shal
not be construed to authorize the secretary OF agri'
culture to forbid the importation of any nursery stock
or other plant products unless such plants or plant
products are infected with disease or infested Eitn
injurious insects, new to or not heretofore Nlaeiy
prevalent or distributed within and throughout me
United states, or unless the secretary OF agriculture
has reason to believe that such plants or plant pro-
ducts are so infected or infested
The purpose Of the department has been % raise
a bar to foreign grown plants. bulbs and the IKE
which would act as a high tariff and supply protec-
ton in n measure to nurserymen Of me country.
Should the senate committee succeed IN tying ths
hands OF the department OF agriculture, as Is attempt
ed. q heavy blow viii be dealt the industry.
