APPOINT SMITH
 DRIVE CHAIRMAN
Litch6eld County Demo- crats Honor State
 Central Secretary
HARMONY THROUGHOUT

Democrats of Latchfield County were invited to emulate Waterbury in the Victory Campaign fund at a meeting in ConleE'g Inn, Torrington last night. J. Francis Smith of this city, secretary of the state central committee was chosen chairman of the drive in Litchfieid County and gave the principal address.
 He named the following to have charge of the drive for the victory fund, all of them being members of the state central committee: John Heffernan of Torrington for the 3Oth district, William Kirsch- berger of Morris for the 32nd dis trict, William Brennan of Winsted for the 31st district, together with the following women: Mrs Susan Hoben of Torrington, Mrs Ida Thomas Of New Milford, Mary o. .Connor of Norfolk. The meeting was one of harmony with no mention being made of any candidates for political office. The meeting was confined strictly to dis cussion of the victory campaign fund and nothing in the form of a boom for either ex-Mayor William
 E. Thoms, or his sofl, Representa- tive John D. Thoms for congress sional nomination for the fifth dis trict resulted despite persistent re-
 ports that the dinner was being held for that purpose.
 Secretary Smith pointed out in his address that Waterbury through
 devious ways had reached three
 quarters of it's quota in the victory fund drive and suggested that Litch field County attempt to do same. MT Smith urged the support of the party candidates for Governor and president and pointed out that the party should be held in consid-
 eration as we'll as the candidate
 himself.
 William Brennan of Winsted, an-
 other speaker, praised the qualities
 marking Governor Franklin D.
 Roosevelt the presidential nominee.
 The dinner was given by Will
 laim o.Connor of Norfolk and his
 daughter, Mary O'Connor, she be- ing the woman member of the state committee from the 31st district. on motion of MT O'Connor, Will
 liam Dyer, president of the Litch-
 field County Democratic Club was elected chairman of last nights
 meeting. It was taken as an indi-
 cation of harmony in the party in- asmuch as MT O'Connor, a strong Al Smith booster, defeated MT Dy- CT, a Roosevelt man in the election of delegates to the recent democra- tic state convention. Those present, besides those men, toned included: MT and Mrs Will liam Dyer of Norfolk, MT and Mrs Charles F. Harrington of Kent, Ju- | lia Mella of New Milford, Thomas Morris of Winsted, Eugene Mulca- hy of Colebrook, Wilbur Coe of | Barkhamstead, Herbert Plank of New Haven, Francis Hogan, Will Ham A.

Nice Piece of Rating

Did you notice how James
utilized the strength and ener-
gieS of Mr.. Burgoo? We did,
and it brought swell Of ad-
miration right from our heart
as through the field glasses we
saw him improve his position
slowly and surely right from
the very start.
It was a sweet piece of cut
ting down the field, if you ask
us. Fifth to start, Mr.. Jalues
brought his steed along nicely
to remain fifth at the quarter
by three lengths. Then at the
half Mr.. Burgoo and Mr. James
were riding third by four
lengths not moving into the
second position and then only
by a neck until the three
quarters pole was reached and
passed.
Burgoo King was getting
stronger, ladies and gentlemen
as the stretch was neared, for
he moved into second position
by a neck at that point in.
CreaSing the advantage 10 two
lengths during the scampef to
the finish, just soon enough to
win by head.
It was as perfect a piece of
gauging a horses talents as
you'll see in a lifetime of racing
and to us it was the marvel of
the whole enjoyable day at
Pimlico.
The Washington times., 1932-05-16
Conserves His Horse

james didn't kill Burgoo King
to win this Preakness, any more
than he did to win the Derby.
He has left plenty in the Bur
goo-master for the remainder
Of his 3-year-old campaign, and
girls and boys you may expect
to hear from this horses heels
during the next four months of
racing.
There is plenty left in that
boss and James is due great
credit for his two smart rides,
in both of which he conserved
his mount until a burst of
speed was needed to do the
Job at hand.
Tick On, yes a great little
animal, but not quite sturdy
enough 20 match hoofs with the
likes of the King, the latter
having established that fact
two Saturdays in a row which
ought to convince any jury.
We'd sure like to see the
Burgoo race some more and if
we do we hope to see Jockey
James handling the colt, pick
ing out his openings for him
and urging him to step on the
gas just at the psychological
moment.
Hail to Burgoo King and
Jockey James-to kings if you
ask us and a fine pair to
draw to!

Fate Stunts McNeely,
Former Griff Star,
to First Club

Fate turns the queereSt pages
in the lives Of many big league
ball players. The case Of Earl
McNeely, former Griff out
fielder, offers an interesting ex-
ample.
McNeely, once the hero of
every Washington fan because
of the hit which brought a
worlds championship to the
Washington club in 1924, is no
longer a big league ball player.
McNeely has signed with the
Sacramento club, of the Pacific
Coast League, the first team of
which he was ever a member
before being purchased by the
Griffmen, in 1924, for the then
tremendous sum of $4,000.
McNeely was with st. Louis
last year. but during the win
ter months was shunted to Mil.
waukee, of the American Asso-
citation. Made a free agent by
that team early this spring, Nc
Nicely finally landed with Sac.
ramento, where he hopes to
spend the rest Of his career.

SIusser Is Foe
Of Goodwin
Tonight

Local boxing fans are warmed
to the boiling point concerning
tonight's battle at Portner's
Arena where Bob Goodwin runs
headlong into Joe Banovic, slug
ging Binghamton, N. Y, light
heavyweight.
Goodwin has never met such q
stiff puncher at Portner'S. In
fact it is doubtful If he has met
such q slugger as Bingo Joe in
his whole career.
The outcome tonight appears to
be based on a body attack at
which Banovic Is rated supreme.
Hitting him around the head is
like smacking a brick wall with
a bare fist. It just will not I'M
press.
Test For Mid-Riff
It has never been decided just
how strong Bob is around the
mid-riff. Some say he can take
it all over. Others claim he is
not so strong in that vicinity.
This fact will be born out when
they collide, for Joe knows how
to punch to the body with effect.
There is color galore surround.

Jockey James should ride Bur

You see, Jockey James knows
exactly what Burgoo King can
