SWEEPSTAKES
 STAMFORD SUNDAY
Jack Woods of Naugatuck and Sam Sena Sent lil- yites to Compete

There is every indication that the second of the Inter-City Sweep stakes to be held at the Lindsey Recreation alleys in Stamford Sum- day will be a big success. >
 Jack Evans of Stratford has aoubied his entry and will have Neal Ball, Dr Williams, Jim Sneri- den and a newcomer, tommy VII. son representing his alleys. Mort Lindsey will not be permitted 10 roll under the ruling of the asso- citation, but he so far has secured six entries which number will in- clude the famous Spineiia Brotn- CTS of Brooklyn. Merton Woods. Bill Windus. Johnny Catino ana Ray Nolan will represent the Lind- sey Recreation while the two en- trants from the Stamford Eiks hove not been named so Tar.
 New Haven will be represented by two veteran pinsters, JACK White and Joe Porto with the pos-- abilities of Bob Stone taking part also. The Danbury Recreation center will send at least two play CTS and 50 far Michael J. Miller ana JACK GuillVeT arc AlcSSu " ASss for the Hating City.
 Fred Higgins of the Bridgeport West Ends Is undecidel as to who will be entered from his alleys but in all probability Duda and Koslxy will get the call. Tony Iannarone winner of the Norwa1k Sweepstakes wil lagain be on hand with Red Lesinsky for one running mate and others to be announced later.
 The Bridgeport Hollands, Vest port Recreation, Norwalk and the Park City are stoll to be heard from but there should be very little difficulty in securing at least forty entries. Invitations have been sent to Sam Sena of Waterbury. Fido O'Brien and Bud Fisher of Hartford, Jack Woods, of Nauga- tuck, Joe FOote of New Britain. The first session is slated for 200 D. m. with the probability of one hour interval before starting the evening session. This period will not be lost however for Mort Lindsey is arranging some special match games in which both Phil and Barney Spinella will take part. The competition is open to all corners regardless of whether or not they are connected in any way with the Southern Connecticut Al- ley Owners association.

HOGAN STOPPED BY GOTHAM PUG IN
 AMATEUR SHOW
Larkin Scores Knockout Steele, Larrivee Win
 Altieri, Sciaretti Beaten

It may have been difficult to secure fistic opposition for Elusive Eddie Hogan, the Riverside street glove swinger. but the opposition provided for him at last nights amateur bouts at the Phoenix Arena was more than formidable. One Harry Larkin, Golden Gloves boxer from New York, hung a leather, not a golden glove on Ed wards chin in the third round and knocked him as cold as Coolidge stare. Now, the Connecticut boys who have been giving Hogan the go-by as if he had the plague, will probably be willing to be coaxed into the arena with him. Row that he know he has one of those chins that they all love to touch.
 Joe Steele of Waterbury looked good in winning over Johnny Manaco of New York. his south paw body punching winning Referee Jim Galvin's nod at the end of three heats. Joe just kept punching which gave Monaco It, tie chance to take the offensive.
 One Good Round.
 Patsy Sciaretti made things ex- ceedingly tough for Frankie An gelo of New Haven in his bid for the state bantamweight crown. In fact, Frank was on the floor in the first round, but he's a champ and got up again to outpoint Patsy who faded rapidly after his initial effort. Jack Larrivee was furnished with good old Adam Hillinski of New Haven for the second time in eight days, and he promptly took care of Adam again, this time by k. o. in the third round. Hillinski is about as much of q match for Larrivee as Mickey Genaro is for Fredel La Barba.
 Frank Altieri of Town Plot was outpointed by Frank Mclaughlin of New York in a fast three round featherweight bout. Other results:
 Featherweight class: Frankie Me- Laughlin, New York, outpointed Frankie Altieri, Waterbury.
 Welterweight class: Jackie De- Pace, New Britain, scored a tech. nical knock out over Bob Naugh- ton, New Haven, second round.
 Flyweight class: Tommy Cusack, New Haven, knocked out Eddie Yankee, New Britain, third round.

Raiph Mastrianni, manager of the waterbury combine states this morning that he is ready to play on . e0-40e6 basis in Torrington or 70-sOgb on neutral team. Manager Frank Alicky. in a letter to ten writer, says he is holding sunday, November goth open for q game, provided articles are sign ed before Monday evening next.
 Unsettled.
 Under the present condition of misunderstanding, the teams may play the game on g neutral field with 70Gb of the gate going to the winner and. 40cd to the loser. AIicky offers Waterbury a game Sunday, the goth and will give them 40e5 win, lose, or draw.
 His letter follows:
 November 10, 1930. Mir John A. Cluney,
 Sports Editor,
 Waterbury Evening Democrat, Waterbury. Conn.
 Dear John:
 Tn response to an article in one of the morning papers asserting that the All-Torrington football club did not live up to Its agree ment concerning a tentative date scheduled between All-Waterbury and our club, wish to state that the terms were not satisfactory to us. e
 Manager Ralph Mastrianna of the Waterbury club stated in the article that we are looking for light opposition this Sunday. This state ment is entirely without founda- ton. Everyone in the valley knows we have faced the stiffest of oppo- sition this season, and I wish to take this opportunity to say that Mir Mastrianna wanted to take b0 per cent of the gate for his end, win, lose or draw.
 This Is out of the question as you can readily see for he has everything to gain and nothing to lose, considering that we are only playing Waterbury one game and that game in Torrington.
 If Waterbury had a field, we would gladly arrange home ana home series, then the ffty.ffty basis would be agreeable for both games. To-date, Waterbury has lost two games, thereby eliminating thnm from the state championship race. On the other hand, Torring- ton has yet to lose a game and is woll on it's way to the semi-pro title.
 We have offered Mir Mastrianna a game on winner take all basis witch was promptly refused. Then we offered him 70 per cent to the winner, and 30 per cent to the loser. This also was refused. Fin ally, we offered to play his club 60 per cent to the winner, 40 per cent |, the loser which was also turned down.
 The only proposition MT Mas trianna would consider was 50-50 basis, which was absolutely out of the question.
 If MT Mastrianna still wants to go through with the game, on the goth we will give his club forty pc. cent of the gate, win, lose or draw. Or we will offer him our or iginal proposition of 70 per cent to the winner and 30 per cent to the loser, or winher take all.
 Now if MT Mastrianna thinks he has a good club he will gladly ac- cept these terms. We will hold the goth of this month open until Mon day evening, November 14th at seven-thirty o'clock. Contracts to be signed in the offices of the Wa terbury Democrat, with you. John, as witness.
 Eagerly awaiting MT Mastrian- nas' reply, 1 remain.
 Yours for clean sports.

Mastrianni wants a game with Torrington for next Sunday, but Manager Alicky states his team will play the Bristol West Ends on that date in the New City. However, Sunday, November goth is open for both teams at this writing. Mas trianni will play on a neutral field 70-30 per cent or 60-40 per cent at Torrington. Which seems to be fair enough, according to his following statement:
 "I'll book All-Torrington for game at Torrington on Sunday pro- viding 60 per cent of the gate re- ceipts are given to the winner, and 40 per cent to the loser. Otherwise, l am ready to send my team against that of Alicky's on a neu- tral field with 70 per cent of the gate receipts going to the winner and 30 per cent to the loser.
