VILLA VICTIM
 OF SMELLY HUB
 BOXING VERDICT

Boston, Sept 29.-(UP)-Andy Martin of Boston, essaying the role of a lightweight for the first time was given questionable verdict over Pancho Villa of New Bedford in a 10-round bout at Boston Ar ena last night.
 Though Martin received two of the three votes in the judging, it was practically unanimous among the sport writers and ringsiders that Villa had clearly outpointed the local tighter.
 A blistering two-handed attack which he carried to Martin kept Villa out in front throughout the bout. A tantalizing left hand that he alternated between the head and body kept Martin off hi sstride and on the defensive.
 A rush he started in the eighth round and continued to the final bell was believed to put Villa so far out in front as to leave no doubt he would win the decision. The verdict was greeted with an uproar.
 Martin weighed 130 and Villa 19E

YALE DEFENDING
 ON l93O FRESHMEN
Lassiter, Gengarelly and Broaca Show Fine POs- abilities

New Haven, Conn.,, Sept. 70 The work of several of last years freshman football players has been very encouraging to the Yale coach.Ag staff during the last two weeks of practice and it is expect ed that they will fit in nicely with the Blue squad when Yale tackles its strenuous schedule of games.
 Bob Lassiter, Charlotte, N, C.. youth, has done splendid work as halfback in the preliminary scrimmages as an understudy to Captain Albie Booth. He Is a fast and deceptive runner and ap- pears certain of landing among the first reserves as the season pro- gresses. Bill Gengarelly and John Broaca have shown fine end play possibilities, while c. M. Mccoy and John Kilcullen have shown strong tackle experience.
 William Saper, West Spring field boy, appears as a strong ana rugged guard possibility. His play has not been particularly steady, but improvement is expected as last year he was one of the outstand- ing players on the freshman eleven.
 Hillman l.. Holcombe, at centre for the scrubs, has been showing steady improvement daily and Line coach Walsh is grooming him as a substitute for Eddie Doonan who, so far, has borne the brunt of the pivotal work for the Blue squad. Centre is the weak spot in the Yale team this season. The guards. tackles and ends seem well fortified with material.

Haines on "Sick List' Athletics l to 2 to Take Third Series B0ttOni- ley 0. K.
By EDWARD w. LEWIS

Limited Press Stan Corrcspondent) sf St Louis, Sept 29--(UP)--A lanky Kentuckian, Paul Derringer, is expected to go to the mound for the St Louis Cardinals Thursday in the opening game with the Philadelphia Athletics for the worlds championship.
 Derringer, with IS victories and eight defeats in his first year of Major league ball, appeared Man. .ager (Gabby) Streets choice to- day, with either Bill Hallahan, only Cardinal southpaw, or Sylvester Johnson, slated to pitch the sec ond game of the; series.
 Street, with two of his regulars nursing injuries, had other things to think about before definitely deciding on Derringer, but admit ted he favored the former Roches- ter ace.
 Burleigh Grimes is likely to be held in reserve. The spitball vet eran has been off from lately.
 On the Level?
 With Jesse Haines definitely off the list of pitching possibilities due to a slow healing shoulder muscle, and Sparky Adams, third baseman and Pepper Martin, center fielder, with leg injuries, the Cardinals fac the series in far from peak condi- ton. Betting odds on the Athletics. to win dropped as a result.
 The American league champions were quoted at one to two to take their third successive worlds cham pionship. A fortnight ago they were z to 10 favorites. The Cards were quoted at to 2 on the ser ies and as high as 4 to l to take two games straight. Last week they were quoted at even money for the series.
 Despite the odds, there was perky feeling in the Cardinals camp It, centered around two beliefs. One was that Lefty Grove, having won 31 games this year, is due for a few reverses. The other that Jim Bottomley, dismal batting failure of last years series, has regained his eye.
 Walker Doing His Bit.
 The Cards, after a victory parade" today, planned to continue their hitting practice against left hand pitching. With Lefty Grove in mind, they imported Bill Walker New York Giants southpaw. 10 help out. Walker has been effec- tive against the Red Birds this year. His delivery is similar to Groves.
 The American league baseball is being used in practice, with no apppecviable difference in the dis tance hit, Manager Street said. His pitchers reported it a little more difficult to control. The national league sphere has peavier seams. /,

Numerous requests to organize basketbalt and bowling on the same plan as the Public Parks ana City Recreation baseball leagues has prompted MT, Derwin to hold special session to determine the prospects of organized sports for the fall and winter months. George Mulligan, who has leased the Wa terbury Arena on Phoenix avenue for the winter months, and Har- mon A. Genlot of the Genlot Rec- reation building, have promised to cooperate with the park recrea- ton worker in any of his ventures.
 Basketball is most popular among the boys, and with the Null ligan interests planning to install a new court in the Arena, there is strong possibility that there will be another court circuit besides the City league during the coming sea- son. The new league, if formed. would not be 8 junior league but would be comprised of all players who could not make the grade in the big circuit. Games would be played on week nights
 Bowling Popular
 Waterbury has had It's inuustrlai bowling league and various fra ternal loops, but never an inter- club circuit like in baseball and basketball. A bowling league would be more or less Of an experiment but in time should take its place of baseball, basketball and football in local sport circles.
 Football teams which desire to fill out their schedule for the sea son are also invited to attend the confab in the. City Hall tomorrow night, as Mir Derwin has a batch of challenges from various teams in the state looking for games.
 Public Parks Meeting
 Prior to the big sports meeting in the park department office ih the City Hall tomorrow night. there will be a meeting of the man agers and officials of the Public Parks league at 7:30 o'clock.

FANS DOPE GROVE OR HOYT TO HURL FIRST FOR CHAMPS
Mackmen Off for St LOOie To-day - Cards Injury Talk Taken Lightly By Bleacher Philosophers
By l.. S. CAMERON United Press Sports EditOr)


 Philadelphia, Sept 29.-(UP)- This was getaway day for Phila- delphia Athletics who were to leave soon after sunset for St Louis where Connie Mack will attempt to win his third consecutive world series championship, feat as yet unrecorded.
 The Athletics engaged in their last pre-series game when they were shut out Monday by their home town rivals, the Phillies, in an unemployment benefit game Incidentally, the defeat at the hands of the Phillies was the sec ond in succession, sustained by the Mackmen. On Sunday the New York Yankees closed the American league season with a 13-1 victory over the As.
 Answer Wanted
 Among the fans big topics was the matter of obtaining tickets ex- cept by purchase from the specu- lators, and the question: Who's go- ing to pitch the first game?
 Most of the street-corner experts have Robert Moses Grove assign ed to the opening pitching assign ment. Others recall how Mack astounded all concerned when he sent Howard Ehmke to pitch the first game of the 1929 series with Chicago, and believe he will nom mate Waite Hoyt, cast-of Of the Yankees and the Detroit Tigers, for the opener. .,
 The fans here are fairly well agreed that Paul Derringer, husky right will be the first St Louis, pitcher to face the bats of Foxx. Simmons and the others.
 "Insidc" StuH
 Many local enthusiasts, however, "know' that Jess Haines, also a right handler, will draw the assign ment.
 There's a story going the rounds here, that reports of Haines IT. ness and probable unaNailab bllity are what are known as the honus- bolognus.
 Some fans here believe that Gabby Street, Cards pilot, has bor- rowed a trick from football coacn- inc and has listed an ace as a "cr;nnIe, who is to stage a miracu- lous recovery when ne IS heeoeu
