 SWIM YALE TEAM

New Haven, February 5-Yale's first intercollegiate league swim ming and water polo meet will be held in Carnegie pool tonight, start ing at o'clock, with City Col Iege of New York. Captain Lloyd Osborne of the Yale team, will be supported by another east of ex- ceptionally fine swimmers, there being plenty of strength in all of the events on the program: Osborn will swim only in the 220 event to- night, but later in the season may be Yale's chief hope in the 440, in which he specialized last year.
 One of the feature events on to- nights program will be the 44O- yard relay, in which Yale will at tempt to break the existing inter- collegiate record of 3:38 2-5. Hap ke, Brines, Fobes and Butler will make up Yale's relay team and Coach Bop Kiphuth believes this quartet has excellent chance of es- tablishing a new record. The pres- ent record is held by Rutgers.
 Johnny Braslin of New Haven will represent Yale in the dive, with Loud as his partner. On the New York team Kramer, who will swim in the 220 and the 440 is the star. c. c. N. C., has a fine breast stroke swimmer in Siegel, with fair representation in the other events. The water polo game should be close. Since the disastrous season last year Yale has came along in this sport, and should give the New Workers a good battle.

BATTALIN0 WILL
 NOT SUFFER AS MUCH AS EXPECTED

Hartford, Feb 5-Bat Battalino indefinitely suspended and fined s5.0O0 by the Cincinnati boxing commission. will not suffer as much as expected from his punishment inflicted following Bats unsatis- factory fight with Freddie Miller last week at Cincinnati.
 According to Peter Fl, Horback, secretary of the Ohio State Asso- citation of Boxing commissions, who spent several hours in con- ference with State Athletic Com missioner Thomas F.. Donohue yes terday, it has been agreed that afr ter Battalino fights the two bouts which were arranged for him prior to his meeting with Miller, that the former featherWelGht champion can apply for re-instate- ment and the Cincinnati commis- sion undoubtedly will grant it.
 s5,OOO Fine Paid
 Battalino, according to Horback, has paid in full the 5000 fine inn posed by the Cincinnati boxing commission and this payment was made in real money--not an al- legged payment. He says that $2,0O0 in cash was paid by Pete Reilly in Cincinnati and that Reilly for warded another $2,000 from Chi cago. The other $1.000 was Bat talinos forfeit for weight.
 HOrback also strengthened out the story that Fly Malley and Bat talino had furnished the Cincin- nati commission with rubber check" which bounded all the way from Hartford to Cincinnati when it was put through for collection, This story has been going the rounds in the boxing world but is an injustice to both Battalino and Malley. according to the Ohio box ing man.

A boy baseball star who pro- vided plenty of thrills in the final game of the American Legion junior world series in Houston, Texas, last year is now going to have the opportunity to thrill the fans who follow the fortunes of the big league teamA
 The lad is Kirby Higbe, of Columbia, s. C., who played with the legion team from that city. Higbe has been signed by the Pitts burg Pirates of the National league, and in the spring will go to the Wichita club of the Western league. He will be seventeen years old in April, and his contract calls for salary that would seem like a fortune to most any boy of his age.
 Although he was on the losing side of the play in Houston, Higbe was the main show in one of the most nerve-racking and spectacu- lar exhibitions of baseball in the history of the legion program. The opposing team from Chicago won the first game of a scheduled three game series. Higbee took the mound for Columbia on the second day and for thirteen straight in .nings he held the Chicago team scoreless.
 It was brand of baseball seldom seen outside the big leagues. Time and again Higbe fought out of holes with cool cour- age. He struck out ten batsmen and allowed only eight safe hits in the entire game. The denoue- meat came in the fourteenth frame when the Chicago catcher singled to bring in the lone tally of the game. Higbe's friends have every confidence he will make good in professional play.

Tommy Armour, British Open and former Canadian and P. G. A.. champion, won his first major championship at Oakmont in. the National open of 1927.
 That was the year when experts feared Bobby Jones was through as a golfer, after Jones scored 309, eight behind the leader.
 Hagen, Sarazen, Mehlhorn, Cooper, Armour and others fought to win. One by one they were en- gulfed by Oakmonts furrowed traps, leaving Cooper leading with 301, or 13 over par.
 Armour came to the 17th need ing 8, 8 to win, 8; 4, to tie. After missing his 3 on the 17th the best he could hope for was tie. This meant 8 on the 457-yard 18th. He drove PTS yards.
 Then he lived up 10 his reputa- tion as a great iron player by rap ping his second 1SO yards to the green. Twelve feet of smooth carpet now lay between him and another chance at the champion ship. A putt represented the diff ference between a fortune and ob- scurity
 Tommy hit the putt briskly, and as the ball was still rolling toward the cup, turned to his caddy and

 Ray Murray of New York made 1t three in a row for the Unlted States when he won first place in the third heat.

BAD RIB BREAK OF PAULINO PROVES GOOD BREAK FOR
 SOL RUCCIRELLO
Italian K. 0. Artist Moves Up From SI,O00 to S5,-| 900 Shot at Garden TO= night
By JACK CUDDY United Press Stan COrrcspOndcntl

United Press Stan Corrcspondcnt)
 New York, Feb 5- UP)- Pauline Uzcudun, the "shell' slug ger from San Sebastian, took his 12 gold teeth from the safe to-day and stuck them in his mouth.
 The molars had been on a three weeks vacation while the Basque heavyweight was training for his scheduled IS round bout with Er- nie Schaaf at Madison Square Gar den tonight. But Pauline is not fighting tonight.
 The former wood chopping champion of Europe is 30 and never has been knocked out or even foored in his long ring ca reer. But, the old body ain't what she used to be because one of his barrel slaves gave way during training. Theb roken rib forced the Garden to substitute another heavyweight.
 His Big Chance
 Scar-faced Salvatore Ruggirello, who eight years ago started boxing under an Algerian moon for enter tainment of French legionnaires. will substitute for Pauline tonight against Schaaf, Americas fourth ranking heavy. It's his opportu- nity of a lifetime.
 Salvatore was to have received about one grand for meeting Ed die Benson of New Jersey in the eight round semi final, but the Iast-minute substitution has placed him in the main event. He will receive about $5,000 for his serv- ices, the largest purse in his ca reer.
 Anything Can Happen
 The smooth boxing Schaaf is to l favorite to defeat Ruggirel- To. Schaaf will weigh about 210 pounds against the Italians 205. Blunt Salvatore has a 3-inch height advantage and the longer reach. Moreover, his straight right has the kick of an Algerian ostrich, recently demonstrated when he dropped walter Cobb in one round and when he stopped Stanley Po- reda in seven,
 The substitution is expected to furnish a better battle than the original match. Schaaf would have preferred the aging Pauline to the smashing Algerian, who is 26 and in his prime. Pauline would have been harder to hit. Only Max Schmeling has been able to reach the target effectively.
 No Panic for Pauline
 Pauline isn't worrying about the su bstitution. Senor Uzcudun has q pocketfull of gold coin besides q mouthful of gold teeth. He's one of the wealthiest men in the ring. His assets are estimated at $3O0,- 900. He'll take life easy while the fracture knits.
 The remainder of to-night's card follows:
 Eddie Benson, New Jersey heavy weight, vs Arthur Huttick, New York (3); Enzo Fiermonte, Italian vs Jack Wilson. Pittsburg (8); Paul Cavalier, Pat terson heavyweight, vs Andy Nit chell, Montana (8).

DAVIDSON NOT
 BENCHED FOR POOR
 PLAY WITH TEAM

The writer wishes to apOl- ogize for the erroneous impress sion created yesterday fin regard to Jumbo Davidson, regular guard of the WatertOwn high school basketball team. In the Democrat story, it was reported that Davidson and Al Jariett were "benched' for not show ing their real ability in recent Watertown games. In David- sons case. a badly injured nose Is the reason that Coach De- land has not been able to use him as much as he would like to. As for his playing and spir- 1t, 1t has been excellent.
