 LEAGUE CALLOP
Hornsby, Wilson Both in Form at Last-SenatOrs Slip a Little Yanks Hit ting
By LEO H. PErERsEN

Limited Press Staff Correspondent.)
 New York. June 20.-(UP)- Fears that the Chicago Cubs after a rather unimpressive home stand, would see their 1881 National League pennant hopes fade on their current eastern invasion, apparently were groundless.
 With Manager Rogers Hornsby
 back in the lineup. recovered from 8 hitting slump, the Cubs have dis played their old time power in the first three games of the road jaunt.
 They have taken two of the three contests against Brooklyn and have been hitting the ball at a merry clip. Everything O. K. The triumphs have been impress sive because they marked the return
 of Hack Wilson to the batting form. If Wilson continues to hit and Pat
 Malone can take his regular turn hereafter on the mound, the Cubs will still be a formidable threat for the pennaft.
 There was nothing wrong with
 their play yesterday as they over whelmed Brooklyn, 12 to z. The Cubs scored ten runs in the fourth
 and fifth innings when they knocked Joe Shaute, starting Brooklyn pitch CT and Fred Heimach from the
 mound.
 Four Games Up The St Louis Cardinals increased
 their leadership in the national to
 four full contests by whipping the
 Boston Braves, Il to 3. Filling up 8 large lead in the first three innings the Philadelphia Phil lies had little trouble in downing Cincinnati, 10 to 3. Phil Collins
 held the Reds safe while the Phil
 lies hit Kolp and his successors
 hard.
 In the American League, the Phil adelphia Athletics increased their leadership to three and one-half contests by defeating the Chicago White Sox 10 to while the second place Washington Senators lost to
 Cleveland, 9 to 6.
 Thirteenth Game The Indians broke Washington's
 winning streak which had extended to 12 games, by hitting sad Sam Jones hard in the early innings while Miller and Harder managed to keep the Senators at bay. The New York Yankees staged a
 hitting spree at the expense of three
 St Louis hurlers and turned in 16 to victory The Yankees got 19 hits while Johnson limited the
 Browns to seven.
 Detroit defeated Boston, to 6 in the other American League contest. The two teams made 30 hits, the
 Tigers turning in 19 of them.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-06-20

From top to bottom, the card is just crowded with boys who like to give and are able to take. Leo Lar r1vee, Bucks Hill boy, will be seen in the main go by Waterbury fans for the first time since he lost a verdict t. Al Gainer last winter. Right now, he is at the top of his form and with clear claim to the New England middleweight championship is we'll on his way to bigger and better things in boxing. Tonight he meets Johnny Zawacie, Paterson, N. F. product who is reputedly rough and ready customer. Nothing is known of the visitor aside from the fact that he was considered good enough for a six round shot against Larrivee in Madison Square Garden some weeks ago. but the bout fell through when the local boy suffered training injury. Now it has been transferred to Waterbury, through the courtesy of Tom McArdle, Gar. den matchmaker. The boys will mix for ten rounds at the most.
 Great Return Go
 Those who take their boxing en- tertainment seriously will not want to miss the Marty Sampson-Battling Archie semi-final go of eight rounds. The New York Heberw and Florida negro put up slam-bang number for six rounds last week, which Sampson won by a shade. The bout was so full of leather that the two were immediately signed to do it again this evening, only the bout to- night goes for eight rounds instead of six. Both boys are exceptionally h rd nd , can be depended upon to furnish some real action. e
 Real Leather Workers
 Jerry McLarn of Watertown and Mike Toronto of Bridgeport will have it out in a six round special go that should be dandy. McLarn has been coming along fine, and has added little boxing knowledge to his natural hitting skill. Toronto is a veteran of the ring, and has the best ''roundhouse" this side of thf. River Styx. A knockout is mors than likely in this number which one of the real attractions on ti. bill from the fans viewpoint.
 The Prelims
 Young Joe Arnold, the Town Pio; youngster who turned professiona last week has a tough assignment on his hands for his second go. In four round bout, he meets Andy Strong, the clouting carpenter from Washington, Connecticut. Both boys scored knockouts against different opponents last week. The well known ring testers, Kid Hershey and Freddy Freeman, the Watertown aquatic marvel, are on for an opener billed for four rounds. It will prob ably go the limit, and what a limit.

CANZONERI CARD
 COMPLETED FOR
 SAVIN ROCK THUR

New Haven, June 20.-The com plete professional boxing card to be staged at the White City Stadium. Savin Rock, next Thursday night was announced to-day by Al Weill, matchmaker. As announced yester- day, the main bout, q 10 round affair will bring together Tony Canzoneri of New York, holder of the worlds lightweight and junior welterweight crown, and Herman Perlick of Kala- nazoo, Mich. The program will run to 34 rounds of boxing.
 In the semi-final windup, Henry Perlick, brother of Herman. has Eeen matched to meet Jerry Emard Of Holyoke, Mass, for eight rounds. Emard is no stranger to fans in this city, having fought here before at Music Hall.
 A return bout by popular demand will find Romeo Dubois, New Haven F'renchman and Jules Sombathy of Bridgeport trading punches in a Six rounder. These two lads met on the Chocolate-Smith card. The fight originally slated for six rounds, was cut short to four heats when rain began to fall and the matchmaker had to cut the rounds so that the fans could witness the main bout. The Du-Bois ?Sombathy shindig was a hummer, which provided plenty of action and the return affair should be a carbon copy of their first face off. only longer.
 Maxie Pink, New York middle weight, sparring partner of Tony Canzoneri, meets Mike Toronto. Bridgeport slugger, in another six rounder. Toronto has been winning his bouts regularly in contests about the state and should give the Goth am lad a good fight.
 The opening bout, a four rounder. feature two former amateur rivals. Steve Vane. Derby. takes on Jimmy Paternostro of Newington. They fought twice in the amateur ranks with honorS even.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-06-20

The game is listed for the main attraction, and rightly so, on dia- mond number one at 4 o'clock. Johnny Jablonowski who shapes up as the best pitcher in the league will occupy the hillock for the Slattery men while it is most likely that youthful Johnny Murphy, curve ball master from Meriden, will endeavor to register over the Hills. "Pinter'' Purcell and Lefty" Atwood will be the relief hurlers, if necessary, for the HNls and Chargers respectively.
 Me For Brooklyn
 Despite the fact that the Trib- unes registered a decisive win over the Hills last week and the Sacred Hearts the previous week, "Hefty'' Michigan and the remainder of the Brooklyn look good to me as con- querors of Johnny Kerwin's hustling Tribune youths tomorrow. The game is to be played on the first dia- rnond at 2 o'clock.
 1yns while Joe Doyle will do like wise for the Tribes. The Brooklyns are considerably strengthened by the addition of Bobby Tucker at second base, one of the fastest humans in the Brophy circuit.
 A Hard One to Call
 s When the Sacred Hearts and North End Thomas club collide on the second diamond at o'clock a lot will be at stake, for neither team has won a game in three starts Kenny Ouimet will send in his young brother Ray to quell the Hearts while Bill Cleary has Dick Heggerty Big Jack" Keefe and Mickey Dujack ready for duty. Tak- ing all into consideration the Tom mics look little bit stronger.

Nye Wants Senate CenSure
in Davis Case.

BIZ ScTiDps-HOiodrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Should
he TAIL in his attempt to have the
senate vacate the seat of Senator
James j. Davis because of excessive
expenditures In the Pennsylvania
senatorial elections last year, Sena-
tor Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota
will seek to have the senate again
declare it's opposition to the use of
large campaign funds in senatorial
elections.
Nye realizes the conservative
Democratic and Republican leader
ship of the senate is rallying to the
former secretary of labor and that,
regardless of his report, it will be a
difficult task to unseat Davis.
He feels, however, that the SEN
ate is unwilling to have the country
gain the impression it is reversing
its policy as declared in the New
berry case and reaffirmed in the
Ware case.
After Senator Truman P. New
berry of Michigan was seated by a
small majority in 1922, the late
Senator Willis of Ohio sponsored the
resolution asserting that the senate
was opposed to excessive expendi-
lures because they were dangerous
to the perpetuity Of govrnment.
This language was the basis of
the resolution by which Senator
Ware of Pennsylvania was rejected
thirteen months ago.

The well is located half a mile

It had an estimated oil flow of
10000 barrels daily. The blowout
occurred when operators attempted
to connect the well for production.
Thousands Of barrels of infam-
mable petroleum and gas poured
