FOUR SCH00NERS
 AWAITING RACE
Fishing Smacks to Battle for
 Championship HonOrs Today

Gloucester, Mass, Aug. 31.-Pl- The sporting blood of this ancient seaport was at fever heat today as four Gloucester fishing schooners, the pick and pride of the fleet, awaited the blue flag and the start ing gun which would send them over the line to battle for the sailing championship of the North Atlantic.
 Coast guard and navy craft. excur sion boats and private yachts were damned with spectators. Almost everything that would float was pressed into service to carry a DOT ton of the thousands anxious to fol- low the racing schooners. Thousands of others, not so for tunate, had to be content to watch the spectacle from the shores of Eastern Point and Magnolia through everything from opera glasses to telescopes.
 The Elsie, skippered by Captain Norman Ross. and the Arthur D. Story, with the vetern Ben Pine in command, faced the starting line with the advantage of practice spins. Both took their craft around the triangular 37 5-S nautical mile course yesterday and put their crews through their paces.
 The work of preparing the Progress, Captain Manuel Domingos, and the Thomas S. Gorton, Captain Wallace Parsons, was continued un- til almost the starting time and the crews of these vessels were without | the advantage of trial runs. The sportsmanship of the crews of all the contestng schooners was shown in the case of the Thomas S. Gorton, whose mainsail at the last moment failed to satisfy her skipper. Members of the crews of the other craft pitched in and aided in the task of fitting her out with a new one Every sailmaker in the port was called in to aid in the work, which required 4S hours of day and night cutting and stitching,
 The starting time was set at 10 a. m.
 The Progress wants light air while the Gorton hopes for S0-mile breeze. Moderate northwest winds becoming variable were predicted which. if they hold, ought to insure a clear day. absence of fog, and d good sailing breeze.
 Final instructions were given the racing shippers at meeting of the race committee in the Master Mariners rooms last night. The following official observers, all veteran fishing shippers. who will sail on the four contenders were also named: Captain stephen Black on the Arthur D. Story; Captain Jim Daniel on the Elsie; Captain Law renee Mckenzie on the Thomas S.. Gorton; and Captain John McKin- ! non on the Progress

After week of Yes you will, no we won't" the Burritt baseball team has finally agreed to meet the Holy Cross team this afternoon at Walnut Hill park at 2 o'clock to settle the championship of the City baseball league
 The two teams ended up the regular playing season in a tie for first place. The deciding game was then scheduled for this afternoon but Manager Stanley Budnick of the Burritts declared that, because of so many of his players being away on vacations, his team would be too badly crippled to meet the Holy Cross today. He wanted the game played a week from today.
 Manager John Cabay of the Holy Cross outfit then stepped in and said that his team would not play a week from today for the same reason that the Burritts didn't want to play today.
 Then in stepped James J. Naugh- ton, chairman of the public amuse- ment commission and he declared that the game would be played to- day or not at all. President Ken meth Saunders of the league at tempted to have the managers settle the dispute between them and. upon his failure to do so, he gave up the ghost.
 The final word printed in yester- days papers was to the effect that the game would not be played to- day. Then last night, after a con- ference between the managers of the two teams and Chairman Naughton, an agreement was reach- ed whereby the game will be play ed today.
 So, unless the plan is changed

Spe a king g of Sports

The Burritts and Holy Cross teams will fly at each other in the City Baseball League this afternoon at Walnut Hill park. After a week of refusals to play, Manager Stan ley Budnick. in no uncertain lan- guage, last night declared that the Burritts would play and what's more, they would beat the Holy Cross.
 The argument isn't over yet, how ever, because the Burritts are going to refuse to allow Marcinczyk, catcher on the Holy Cross team to play. They claim that his name is not on the original list of players and that he is therefore ineligible to play.
 Without doubt, this will be one of the most bitter battles, in every way, shape and form, that has been seen in this city in some years. The two teams are like alley cats at the present time and either side is lia ble to break out like a rash at a mo- ments notice.
 Managers Cabay and Budnick all but staged few fistic battles be- tween themselves during the week but they managed to control them selves enough to keep apart. Wheth- CT they will be tied hand and foot this afternoon remains to be seen.
 The Seneca baseball team will not play Kensington Monday morning as was stated yesterday. A confer ence was held between Manager Ol- son of the Senecas and Eddie Moore of Kensington last night resulting in the cancellation of the contest.
 The Senecas are playing tomorrow afternoon and Manager Olson's plea was that his team was expecting to play in the afternon and the Sene- cas would not be ready in the morning. The managers both agreed to the cancellation.
 Kensington will play the Falcons in the afternoon at St. Mary's Field. This will be the only holiday game in the city championship series.
 Manager Frank McDonough of the New Britain Roller Hockey team was unable to give any defi- nite dope on the league for the con- ing season other than to say that all details in connection with the league will be settled next week when the league officials meet again.
 The amateur fights scheduled to be held last night at Muzzy Field in Bristol, were called off on ac- count of the rainy atmosphere and the cold. The officials of the Park A. C. did not decide on this until late in the afternoon. No date has yet been set on which the card will be staged.
 Ed Hurley and Fly MalleX down in New York, have the articles for ford all sewed up, according to an ford all ewed up, according to an Associated Press dispatch yesterday. The fight will be staged at the East Hartford velodrome on September 12 and will be for the worlds feath- erweight cham pionship.

THE VALIANT" TENSE TALKIE AT COLISEUM


 Striking in it's originality Of theme and deeply moving in it's tense drama and spoken lines, ''The Valiant" Fox Movietone dia- log production which adds new lau- rels to the fame of William K. Howard, noted director of Fox films was welcomed by an enthusiastic audience at it's first showing in the Coliseum Theatre last night.
 Indicative of the intensely hu- man note that is struck in the motivation and dialog of this most unusual screen offering is the fact that although the leading charac- ter, portrayed by Paul Muni, is in troduced through his confession of
