ID AISING cats as a hobby is ex-
IN tremely fascinating, as it is
conducive to interesting develope-
ments. Women are the leaders in
the fancy, for men are interested
more often in dogs. This may be
because cats have masculine
characteristics and dogs femme
attributes.
Some people say" I don't like
cats. I like dogs" That is as
reasonable as saying, II don't like
football games. I like chocolate
sodas." They are not comparable,
but, because they are our two most
universal household pets, we un-
consciously campare them.
Quite often a cat is considered
inferior in intelligence to a dog,
but really it is only difference
in temperament No animal is at
tached more devotedly to his home
or the companionship of man, but
he is aloof and independent by
nature and impatient of restraint.
The saying, "As jealous as a cat"
has not foundation in fact. His
dignity is too great to stoop to a
display of jealousy.
Cats have been a part of mans
home life since early times, but
their origin never has been de-
termined. The Egyptians were
especially fond of cats and num-
mied ones have been found in the
tombs of the Pharos. The English
people have been for many years
breeders of famous cats. There
are men in London who make
business of furnishing food for
cats. They are called "cat meat
men" and peddle their meat from
house to house.
TINE cat fancy" as this hobby
Il is called, is increasingly pop
ular in America but is exceeded
in England, and serious breeders
register their stock both in the
United States and abroad. Per-
sian and Angora cats were at one
time distinct types, but, through
interbreeding, they now are the
same and designated as Persian.
Breeding and showing are con-
fined almost entirely to this long
haired type.
During the World war, many
breeders disposed of their stock
to participate in war work. 1 did
and of course it had to be just as
I had succeeded in breeding a
prize-winning red tabby queen.
Any cat that breeders retained
were the finest stock, so the type
is much better than before the
war.
Some of the old books about the
cat fancy are quite amusing and

Boston, Oct Is - (U. P.) -
Judge Emil E. Fuchs, owner OF the
Boston Braves, to-day denied a
published report that the Braves
were included in a reported trade
of players involving six National
League Ball clubs.
There's nothing to that at all, +"
he said. Its just another rumor."
Judge Fuchs specifically denied

SHARKEY PUTS
DAMPER ON JACK
DEMPSEY AS REF
Champ Afraid of Conquer
or as Third Man for
Schaaf Winston Bout
Thursday
fspecial to The Democracy

Boston, Oct 18-Jack Sharkey,
worlds heavyweight champion has
spiked all chances Of Jack Demp-
sey, former champion will be the
third man in the ring, when Ernie
Schaaf, Wrentham sailor defends
his N. E. heavyweight title against
Unknown Winston of Hartford at
the Boston Arena Thursday night.
Sharkey was supported by john
ny Buckley and Schaaf in his pro-
st against Dempsey as referee
for the bout and now 1t Is expected
that a regular boxing commission
referee will be appointed, although
his identity will not be known I'M
til the night of the. fight. Sharkey
was bitter in his attack against
Dempsey and his plan to ease him
self into the ring here and Promo
ter Eddie Mack has dropped all ne
gotiations with the ex-champion.
AS far as Winston is concerned
he doesn't care who referees the
bout, he said following a strenuous
training session at Kelley and
Hayes gym yesterday. 1t was his
first workout here and large
crowd was on hand. Schaaf contin-
ued to work at Jerry Buckley's
gym and it was reported that he
weighed 200 pounds at the finish
of his training session.

Winston continues to claim that
he will continue his k. o. streak
and put the crusher on any further
Schaaf claims for the title while
the Schaaf camp feels just as con-
fident that the sailor will stop the
urge before the end of the 18th
round is reached. The bout is held
over the longer distance because a
New England title is at stake.
Two heavyweight bouts will be
included among the preliminaries
according to the card announced
to-day by the promoter. Walter

back to the top again will meet

Jack Sigmore, young Cambridge
heavyweight, one of the most bruis-
ing punchers in the ring to-day
will meet Tiger Henderson Of Wes-
terly in another eight rounder. Vic
tor Lotti, Marlboro opposes Billy
Nevins of Cambridge in a six
rounder while Eddie Mandell, Ev-
erett meets joey Kemp, Cambridge
in a four.
Indications continue to point to
sell-out at the Arena for this
bout. More than $1,000 in ticket
sales were registered yesterday and
choice seats will be scarce the day
of the bout. FOR this reason, the
office of the Argonne A. A. at
Water street, Liberty 2176 will be
kept open each night until o.

the state, while the Club eleven
is comprised of mostly former dis
trict team material.
Captain Vim Ferrie, who made
IN outstanding showing Friday at
Hanover when he gained 227 yards
on running plays, will be the cen
ter of interest on the Academy
team from a local standpoint, al
though Freddy Mautee. star end

also be keenly watched by local
enthusiasts. Valukevitch and Croc-
co, Commercials bids for glory on

more than a few eyes centered up
on them.
Coach Sam Bender of the Club
eleven has finally whipped his team
into shape and is confident that the
boys will put up a real battle. UNI
bertone Vetrome, in eligible Com
mercial leader, George Bolotin,

Wrex, have all returned to the
squad after being out for some
time with injuries and should

And the rumor, itself, may not
be so silly as the club officials
would have the press believe. Rep
resentatives of the four clubs were
quick to deny the report-that is,
all except that frank southerner,
Memphis Bill Terry, manager OF
the Giants. At his home in Ten
nessee, Bill admitted that the "big
dear' might come off.
Bill Was Busy
Jim Tierney, secretary Of the
Giants, denied that the New York
club was involved in such a deal
but 1t is we'll known in baseball
circles that Manager Terry has APP
preached practically every club In
the league with trade propositions
and has welcomed proposals from
other managers.
Brooklyn apparently is not
mixed up in the Boston deal, but
the F'latbush officials are as busy
as hungry hens. They'll trade with
anybody IL they can get good
pitchers and first baseman. Max
Carey, manager Of the Dodgers
is down in st Louis trying to wan
gle Sunny Jim Bottomley away
from Sam Breadon of the Cardi-
nails. If he can't get Bottomley, he
may consider Jimmy Collins or
Pat Crawford. Carey also has his
eye on Sam Leslie of the Giants.
On the Line
A representative Of the Dodgers
admitted last night that the club
would spend up to 100000 to give
the fans colorful, fighting team
this season. They'll buy, sell OF

HARTFORD FRIDAY

Hartford, Oct 1S-Rain forced
the Hartford and East Hartford
football squads to hold indoor
workouts yesterday while West
Hartford. Buckley and Weaver
were slated for light sessions to
rest up after their grueling con-
tests Saturday.
East Hartford, who has yet to
hang up its first Central Connec-
ticut League victory will attempt
to do SO Friday when they meet
Manchester on the latter's home
field. Johnny McGrath had his
squad in uniform ready for prac-
tice when the deluge of rain forced
them indoors and he substituted a
long blackboard talk in place of
.scrimmage. \
Tom Kelley's Manchester eleven
will be the favorite when the two
teams take the field by virtue of
their 26 IS, victory over Meri-
den, who in turn hold an 8 to 6,
triumph over the East Siders.
The eyes Of the majority of local
football fans will probably be To-
cused on the New Haven-Hartford
tilt which will be played at Dono-
van Field, Friday night. The result
will have double importance as the
two teams are contenders for the
state title as well as Triangular
League honors. Johnny Newell was
able to get but a fair estimate as
to the ability Of the Bowenmen last
Friday as Commercial failed to ex-
tend them to any great extent.
West Hartford and Weaver came
through their contests last week
without any serious injury and will
begin work to-day to prepare for
his weeks contests. The West Sid
ers will meet Meriden at William

Saturday will entertain Worcester
