GATE OF 100000
! EXPECTED TONIGHT
There Can Be No Foul and
Boxers Must Wear Pro-
tectiVe Devices.
BY EDWARD J. NEIL,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n lew YORK, July 1.-THE
NJ purses of the fight faith
full loosened today and
piled up a pot of gold for
Sammy Mandell and Young Al
Singer to fight for tonight in the
ring at the Yankee Stadium. Last
minute predictions we're for a
100000 gate.
This will be Mandell'S second
defense of his lightweight title
here in two years.
Some money appeared in the marts of
chance at odds Of 2 to l on the sleek
challenger. If the same odds prevail at
ring time, Singer will be the shortest
priced challenger since Pancho villa
knocked out the aged Jimmy Wilde for
the hyweight crown back in the days
when fouls were something to be
4rowned upon.
BY special ruling of the New York
State boxing solons, there can be no
foul tonight. Both the champion and
the challenger have agreed to equip
themselves with such protective devices
as they consider will render them i'm
mune to low blows. If either winds up
on the floor, he will have to look for
sympathy in the voice of the referee
tolling of the count of 10.
Shift Hard to Understand.
The shift in the tide toward Singer
appears unjustifled by the past records
OF the gladiators, although it is gener-
ally admitted that Mandell, after IL
years of warfare, has begun to show
signs of wear. He reached his peak in
whipping husky Jimmy McLarnin in
the Polo Grounds two years ago, but
since then the clouting Celt twice has
belabored the champion In overweight
matches. Sammy had desperate time
edging out the decision over Tony

- champ, is not overburdened
4 with pitchers since the de-
parture of Lefty Mcintyre, who
is q staff in himself. But the Browns
have in Babe CIapper, erstwhile @. w.
U. gridder, q moundsman who prom
iSes to fill the southpaw's shoes.
With Clapper and Mcintyre sharing
the mound burden, the Sleepers touno
little diff1culty in annexing the nrst
half pennant of the Terminal League.
Now, with Mcintyre gone, Clapper has
pitched all but one game and mas not
been defeated.
A hefty individual, Babe appears well
qualified to stand plenty of overwork:
but since the recent acquisition OF
Eddie Colliflower he will have willing
aide to share the slab duties.
Despite the fact that both are right
handlers, the Browns do not seem to
be missing their former southpaw ace.
Incidentally, Pullman, along with
D. C. Repair Shop, is likely to go
through the second half races In the
Terminal and Departmental Leagues,
respectively, without . defeat.

way are fortunate in that both have
a good trainer. Harry Fiddesop, former
Tech High conditioner, is the gentle
man. Never does a pitcher come to
the bench after an inning of work that
he does not meet him with a sweater
to protect his arm.
Shades of Joe Sewelll
Fee Colliere has compiled most I'M
usual record this season. He has yet to
strike out. Dutch Smithson, who runs
neck and neck with Fee in runs scored,
batted in and batting average, has fan
ned only twice.
Ike Dreifuss, who arrived late for yes
terday's game, but who drove over
Southern Railways two runs, made two
of the best catches seen on the sand
lots this year.
Although he plays first base for the
Celtics and pitches for Southern, Ike
took care of center field yesterday-and

In the sixth inning he raced almost
to the right-field foul line to rob

ger Favorite Take Lightweight Title AUay From MandeA

Canzoneri in his last title defense in
Chicago almost year ago.
The increasing years have added 10
the dificulty Mandell always expert
enced in making the class limit OF 135
pounds. Singer, a genuine lightweight;
has had no trouble holding his fun
strength at 1874 pounds.
The chances are that Sammy will re-
tire tonight if Singer chases him into
the shadows. A careful champion,
Mandell has piled up fortune OF about
$3.50 900, although he has defended his
crown only three times since winning
it in 1926 from Rocky Kansas in Chi
cago. Sammy has kept himself busy
in the overweight and no-decision dis
tricts.
The swing to Singer is a swing to
youth. The pride of the Bronx is still
a shade under 81 and the zest that
comes with his years is offset by lack OF
cxperience against a boxing master OF
shown a tendency to toss aside his
speed, boxing ability and punching
power in favor of wild and irregular
attack in moments of stress. He has
been boxing only three years, hardly
long enough to weld his abilities into an
even -geared attack, directed by mind
that can't be fiustered.
Singer Highly Popular.
Singer has been carefully nursed into
the challenging role, due to his great
popularity with the rank and file of the
faithful. He has beaten several good
men, including Bud Taylor, but knock
out by Ignacio Fernandez, decision
lost to Kid Chocolate and a charity
draw with Tony Canzoneri stand against
him in the record books. Against the
masterful Mandell, who made show of
McLarnin in the Polo Grounds, he
would hardly be accorded chance to
win.

States of Justo Suarez, South American
lightweight champion, whose popularity

Aldermen Gather
 Sunday Afternoon
Matter of Limited Time Parking in- formally Diseussed.-Will Be Brought Before Feb
 ruary Meeting.

The mayor and members of the common council held an informal meeting in the council chamber on Church street, Sunday afternoon, and discussed generally the parking situa- ton. It was stated by one of the al- dermen that the meeting was held Sunday because 1t is difficult to get the aldermen together evenings during the week.
 The situation. if is understood. has arisen because of the desire expressed by a group of merchants that the parking situation be controlled by the time limit method. It is said that the local problem was considered from this angle and it is believed a recon. mendation along this line will be made at the next regular council meeting, Tuesday evening. February 4th.
 As the meeting was informal and not convened for the purpose of pass ing any new ordinances or attempting formal legislation neither details of the meeting. nor the fact that the meeting was to be held. was made pub- lie The gathering was more for the purpose Of determining the sense of the council. thereby saving a great deal of time and discussion when the subject is formally brought up.

With Roland G. Ialone and Wal son Moulthrope taken into custody just before the sailing of a vessel on which they had shipped as deckhands at Pensacola. Florida, last Friday, the three escaped prisoners from Connecticut are again behind bars. The third member of the trio. Leon Landry. was apprehended some days before.
 All three of the convicts will soon face a charge of first degree murder. Tn punishmnt for murder in the Pen insula state is death by electrocution. The states attorney feels confident that the grand jury will indict each one of the fugitives for the death of one Jacksonville detective and the wounding of another.
 The escape and facts learned fol lowing the escape and the capture of the men have created much in- terest in Putnam and surrounding towns because Lalone is one of the lice box" bandits convicted of the murder of State Policeman Irving Nelson at Pomfret last year

Soldiers exemptions allowed amount to S100.021, leaving a net grand list, on which to base the tax rate. of Sl0,- S2A 200. This is an increase of S50,- SGT over the net grand list of last year.
 Last year the grand list was reduced over half a million dollars. The re- duction followed the re-assessmeBt or equalization of property values. Al that time the board of assessors and the board of relief held joint meet ing and adjusted many unjust and in equitable assesesments. The fact that the grand list has been increased some what this year evidences that the list is now on a reliable basis
