Spring has quickened the pulse of big Jess Willard, above, and now the former heavyweight champion is thinking about a ring comeback. Willard, 48 years old and weighing 300 pounds, believes a rigorous training period will bring him down to 250 pounds, which used to be his natural fight ing weight. He then wants some exhibitions, after which he'll listen to the promoters talk of big bouts. If Willard deserts his grocery and gas station business in Los An geles, he will be managed by Carlo Curtis and Frank Kerwin.

WATERBURY C.C. TOURNAMENT TO
 START MONDAY

Hartford, Sept 29.-Gene Kunes of Tumble Brook will be an out standing favorite in the field when the Connecticut P. G. O. plays its fourth annual championship tour nament at the Country club of Wa terbury next Monday.
 Kunes goes into the 36-ho1e medal championship with the best tournament record for 1882 of any one of the contestants. He has won more than his share of the Organ ization's Sunday events. Of course no man can hold his game at razor keenness right through a sea- son, but Kunes should be hitting the ball just as well next Monday as he has at any time this year.
 Maurice Kearney, then of Yum ble Brook and now of Watertown, was the first winner of the cham pionship, the year 1t was played at Wampanoag. The following season at Sequin, George Sibert won the title. Last year at Sequin, Siebert was i'll and unable to defend his crown. Kunes won in torrid fin ish edging out at least five others who faced the last nine holes with good chances of leading the field.
 Illness has again cut down George Siebert. Only recently he was discharged from the hospital after 0 serious operation. Any where from 25 to 30 pros will play at Waterbury and more than half of them must be given a chance of winning. It's a wide open fight but Gene Kunes must again be rated with the little group having a slight edge on the others. Against his chances is the fact that no man has ever won the title two years running

FORDHAM HONORS
 CONNIE MURPHY

New York, Sept 29-Cornelius Connie" Murphy of Greenfield, Mass, who joined the ranks of Fordham university heroes last fall when he succumbed from injuries suffered in bruising football game between the Maron and Bucknell, will have two fitting monuments to perpetuate his memory on his- toric Rose Hill. Both will be dedi- cated Saturday afternoon, when the Fordham eleven inaugurates the 1892 season in g. game with Balti- more.
 On the schedule, the Marylanders Fordham field. But after the cere- monies Fordham field will be no more. This expanse of turf, dedi- cated as Fordham field only a few years ago, will be rededicated Sat- urday and thenceforth will be known as Murphy field.
 The second monument is in the nature of surprise. It is a larger than -life-size bronze bust of the late star tackle and will be mounted on a pinkish red marble pedestal in front of Fordham's magnificent granite gymnasium building. Around the bust revolves an inter- esting tale, which was related yes- terday afternoon by Rev Father Aloysius J. Hogan, s. J., president of Fordham university.
 Sensing the feeling and spirit that influenced the work, Father Hogan siad: "Here, this is neither the time nor place for the presentation of so hroic a bust of Connie Murphy. Fordham will accept it and give it a proper place-but only with a fitting ceremony"

 United Press Stan Correspondent)
 New York. Sept 2s-(UP)- There were just a few more than 41,OOO customers in Yankee Sta dium for the opening game of the World Series yesterday, which meant that some 30,000 seats were occupied by nothing more substan- tial than good old Bronx atmos- phere and green paint.
 The Yankees-from the bat boy tc Colonel Jake-mourned this small attendance. So did the Cubs. So did Judge Moon Comes Over the Mountain Landis. They mourned because it meant money cut of their pockets.
 It Eee-lated Us!
 This mourning and grooming was music to our ears-sweet music. It Lighted and eee-late us, as James Durante would say. For the measly crowd was largely the fault of one of the most selfish, avari- cious and stupid rulings known to man or beast-the old law that says you cannot purchase single game seats for the series but must purchase tickets in blocks of three that Is, if you want to see the first game you must buy tickets for the second and third games as well.
 This looney law came into being back in those lush days before the crash when if you didn't have six bathrooms in your house your mother-in-law wouldn't come live with you. World series were cer- tain sell-outs then, and nobody ob- jected to the high-handedness of the owners. But things are tri- fle different now.
 This business of having to go in and lay down $16.50 or $19.50 works tremendous hardship on your average baseball fan. He just ain't got 1t to lay down.
 Nonsensical Law
 It's a nonsensical law from the ankles up. If you walked into a haberdashery and asked for Q pair of socks and clerk said we'll sell you some socks but you'll have to buy suit and an overcoat, too, you'd snatch down a chandelier and smack him on the profile. How baseball manages to get by with 1t Is a mystery. Certainly not on the ground that baseball is 8 sport. It ceased to be that several years ago.
 The ruling kept at least 10000 customers out of the Stadium yes- terday. Some two hours before the game. hundreds of fans were mill ing around the box offices in the hope the Tanks. or rather Judge Landis. would rescind the order. But the judge mumbled something about setting a dangerous prece- dent and took another puff off his three for a buck cigar.
 The financially embarrassed cus- toners were not the only ones kept out by the ruling. In a town the size of New York there must have been at least a thousand or 50 transients who had time for one game and no more. Well, if they saw one game 1t cost them three times the price. and anyone who paid sixteen dollars to see that game yesterday had a perfect right to ask for $15.50 change. It was that sorry.

United Press Stan COrrcSpOnucnCD
 Peabody, Mass, Sept 29-(U. P.) -yGreat Britain's first lady" of the links faced what seemed like easy opposition in the women's national golf championship.
 The quarter-final pairings match ed Enid Wilson of England. Brit years. with youthful Charlotte Glutting of Shorthills, N. J., and their respective performances to date forecast another victory for the foreign star.
 Making by far the outstanding showing in yesterdays rainy sec ond-round play, Miss Wilson de- feated Grace English of Lynnfield, Mass, and z. She equalled par for the II holes she required to win.
 Mrs Glenna Collett Ware of Phil- adelphia, five-tine champion, took second honors as she defeated Mrs c. s. Eddis of Toronto, 2 and 5. She started out in whirlwind fash- ion by carding four successive As, and was but two over par for 13 holes. To-day Mrs Ware was to meet Peggy Wattles of Buffalo, N. r., who advanced through a and 3 victory over Mrs c. s. Eaton of Wellesley.
 Maureen Orcutt of Haworth, N. J., was paired with Ada Mackenzie of Toronto in what may be the feature match of the day. Unable to maintain her form of the past two days, Miss Orcutt, co-medalist, was carried to the 17th hole to defeat Mrs Leo Federman of Great Neck, N. r., 2 and l. Miss Mackenzie, three-time Canadian champion, eliminated Jean Armstrong of Chi cago, 6 and 5.
 Virginia Van Vie, of Chicago who shared medalist honors with Miss Knapp of Glenhead, N. r., in the other quarter final match.

World Series
 Briefs

New York, Sept 29-(UP)- Babe Ruth increases several world series records, which he holds. in yesterdays game. He recorded play in his 10th series, increased his runs batted in to 2S, boosted his total bases to SC, showed his bases on balls to 31 and jumped his rec ord for runs to 34.
 Betting odds have shifted from 9 to 5 to 4 to favoring the New York Yankees to win the world sc- ries, because of their opening ylc- tory. The Tanks are 8 2-tO-1 to win .today's game. The volume of betting is small. What little Cubs money was in the market seems to have disappeared, following their defeat.
 Mark Koenig, veteran shortstop of the Chicago Cubs, hurt his pre- viouly injured wrist in yesterdays s game and may not be able to play today. Bill Jurges will take his place if Koenig remains on the bench. Frank Demaree will replace Johnny Moore in the Cubs center- field.
 Tho Yankees ran their world series record to nine consecutive victories, the highest total ever reached by any ball club. They won four straight in 1927 and followed with four more in 1928. Before that they lost the final game of the 1926 series.
 The record of eight straight vic- tories was held by the New York Giants. who won the last three games of the 1921 series, won four more in 1922 and took the first game of t-.c 1928 series.

BABE HAS LAUGH ON MRS GRIMM
 AND MRS MOORE
By JOIN A. CLUNEY

Yankee Stadium, Sept 29- Though the woman is supposed to "havc the last word," ac- cording to the best female tra- ditions, Babe Ruth had the last laugh to-day, in an interesting little sidelight near the Cubs dugout fin the eighth inning. The Babe had just had his fourth time at bat and popped up to Mark Kocnig. He made but one hit during the game, n scorching single just inside the first base line in the third in- ming, and had been walked twice. Mrs Charley Grimm, sit- ting behind the Chicago dugout, with Mrs Johnny Moore and a number of other wives of the Cubs, decided to "kid" him n bit as he walked back to the Yam kee bench. As he passed down the Chicago side of the field, Mrs Grimm yelled at him: "You don't seem to be so good against those Chicago boys, Babe." George Herman, ever the gen. tIcman where the ladies are concerned. said not q word. He just looked in Mrs Grimm's di- rcctiOn, smiled bit, and then pointed to the scOrebOard. It showed to 4-aSainst the Cubs.

A gallant castillian pitcher, Senor Vernon Lefty" Gomez of the New York Yankees, will be hurling> with all the strength of his famous left arm, because if he wins he'll be married within two weeks to brown-eyed Irish beauty, little June O'Dea of musi- cal comedy fame. If he loses well, they'll probably be married anyway.
 Manager Charlie Grimm of the Chicago Cubs must triumph over lefty's pitching because if he doesn't, his wife won't be able to celebrate properly their 10th we'd ding anniversary tonight.
 And Mrs Woody English, Au- burn-haired bride of the Cubs third baseman, must have vic tory today for her 22nd birthday present.
 When June ODea learned of Mrs Grimm's anniversary and Mrs English birthday, she gushed.
 "Oh, isn't that just too sweet. do hope the Cubs winch, now what am I saying. I mean 1t would be just too sweet if they could win. But, of course, they can't because Vernon will be pitch ing" ..
 Mrs Grimm and Mrs English will be at the game, but June won't. This petite 19-year-old is the featured dancer in the seasons hit, "Of Thee I Sing," and must appear at a matinee. She'ss be listening in on little radio in her dressing room.
 New York baseball fans, male and female, have been intrigued by the Gomez-O'Dea romance. The tall, skinny farmer boy from Cali fornia came to the big city, slicked back his hair and presented ob- servers with Q hodge-podge of dazzling pitching, cheese diets and finally Broadway love.
 When Miss O'Dea first met the "goofy Castillian," as he is affec- tionately called by his teammates, at a theatrical party, she remark ed that she thought only school boys were interested in throwing baseballs around, and this "pitch- ing business seemed very unim- portant."
 A few baseball games changed her mind. Moreover, Senor Gomez is doing we'll for a 22year-old country boy. He's stands six feet two but scales only about 15O. In his futile efforts to put on pound age, Lefty says, T use so much milk and cheese, I'm ashamed to look a COW in the face"

WHITE CITY AMATEUR

New Haven, Seupt 29-The cur tain dropped on the White City boxing season last night without a blow being struck.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-09-29

would have been vain to poln' out that the Cubs scratched then yesterday for six runs-or enougf to win the average ball game.
 There was q certain amount o1 peeyishness, too, on the part ol the Cubs and their management that may or may not prove danger ous to the New Workers. Some teams only begin to fight when they get mad.
 This peevishness, manifested when the usually mild Charley Grimm exercised his managerial rights by shutting out all reporters hangers-on, walters, and sundry gentlemen with crying towels who wa .,ted to console the beaten Cuhs, eased up later in the eVen- ing when Mir Grimm so far re- covered his poise as to make dig nified statement.
 "We aren't through by a hell of a lot" was his message to the Cubs public. "Of course that 12- to-6 score was sock. But l don't blame Guy Bush for 1t. Gehrig just caught hold of one. The same thing could have happened to anybody, even RuffinG who won. But we've got lots of stuff left and we'll start with Lonnie Warn eke today.
 Those who had expected MT Grimm to tell the world that he saw no reason for the Cubs to go any further in the series, and that it looked as if the jig was up, were surprised and delighted by the novelty of his statement.
 Gchrig's Homer Licks Cubs
 Grimm was thinking about the homer Hungry Lou carromed in to Yankee stadium's right field bleachers. The Yankees had been retired in order for three full in- ninys. Then Earle Combs walked and Babe Ruth singled for his only hit of the game. This single brought in Combs. GehriS then connected solidly for the first homer of the series. The Cubs were licked right then and there.
 The Yankees scored almost at will so the remaining Chicago tallios didn't matter except that they equalled a world series record for runs in one game.
 The opener was dismal baseball. Rain came down in earnest short lv before game time. The impend- ing showers, coupled With the stu bid system which makes one buy tickets for three games if he buys any, reduced the crowd to mere 41,000-nearly 30,000 below capa- city.
 The dullness induced by the free-scoring and weather was in creased by senseless playing atield. The first came in the opening in- ming. The great Babe Ruth mis- judged a single which went Tor a two base error.
 Then there were errors by Young Crosetti of the Tanks, and Woody English of the Cubs. Young Bill Herman, Cubs second baseman, then picked up an easy hopper from the bat of Tony Lazzcri. He saw Ruth rumbling down from third to home, but stood there like a wooden Indian. Grimm, playing first, was screaming and finally Herman threw to his man. ager. But Lazzeri had crossed the base first and Ruth was safely home.
 The one big hero of the opener was Rufus the Red" Ruffing Yankees pitcher. Most nine hits came after his mates had given hin a substantial lead, and he was under wraps.
 To-day's game was scheduled tc start at 1:30 F. s. T.

ONE FOR RIPLEY

Houlton, Nc, Sept 29-(UP)- A grudge fight between two wel- terweights here last night, ended to the mutual satisfaction of both principals. Both were knocked out simultaneously.
 Young Jack Dempsey of Woolwich and Babe CarOn of Piscataquis, after knocking each other down in the first round of their bout, squared off and charged. Caron landed a hard blow to the solar plexus at the instant he stopped a hook with his jaw. Both went down and were senseless far beyond the required count of 10.
