Eagle May Fly High
B, JOHN A. CLUNEY

Many a cloud of resin dust has settled on the laps of the ringside customers since two Waterbury boys provided the incentive to fight fans in another city, but that's the exact situation tonight when Phil Brosseau, state light-heavyweight amateur champion defends himself against the slugging Charley Eagle, to whom boxing is just a step tow ard higher education. They meet in the main bout of Dick Gray's amateur boxing show at Savin Rock tonight, weather permitting, and with both boys reported in shape, I look for the dog fight of the season. The lads are natural rivals, are pretty close to the same weight, and each is confident that he has the stuff that can stop the other fellow. All of which is true, for Brosseau and Eagle are both admittedly knockout punchers. Eagle lost his state middleweight title on wicked decision at New Haven and has grown enough since to put him over the 16O pound limit, which automatically makes him light-heavyweight and eligi- ble for Brosseau's laurels. The fight has been the talk of state fis- tic circles, or at least that part of it that follow the amateurs, and you can be sure that the boys will be well worth seeing in action, to- night, tomorrow night or any night.

Playof Game
 on Tomorrow

Managersr of the Waterville and Thomas club teams of the City Amateur league agreed last night to play off their tie game of ten days ago tomorrow night at Ham, ilton park beginning at 5:15 o'clock so that the decks will be cleared for the final games of the league season next Sudnay. A win for the Oilers will mean that Brooklyn will have to beat them twice in a row to take the title and go to the Pittsburgh national tournament. The Thomas Clubers have been playing ragged baseball for some time. but can click at times though win for them over the Water vile team at this time will be a distinct shock, despite the fact that they have beaten the Oilers earlier in the season and tied them another time. The Hills and Hearts meet Sunday as well as the Tribes and Tommies in the 2 p. m. games.

TWO WILL BATTLE
 FOR WORLD'SOAR
 GROWN IN CANADA

Vancouer, B. C., Aug 22.-There is a story behind the worlds cham pionship sculling race, to be waged by Bobby Pearce of Australia and Ted Phelps of England, over the three-mile Vancouver course on Lake Ontario, Sept 1, for $5,000, in connection with the Canadian National Exposition.
 One year. ago Pearce arrived in Long Beach, Calf, to open train- ing for the defense of his Olympic championship, won on the Sloten Canal of Holland in 1928. There he met his boyhood chum, Major Goodsell, the handsome Australian who had challenged Pearce for the world professional title.
 Pearce and Goodsell became in- separable companions. The major insisted that Bobby share his apartment. They ate together, play ed together, trained together.
 Then came Phelps. the young Britisher, who had won the profes sional title from Bert Barry, who in turn, had won the championship from Goodsell in 1927. Phelps and Goodsell were bitter enemies. But Phelps and Pearce became very friendly.
 Phelps was in Long Beach three days when Pearce noticed the blond Englishman didn't go near the water. Inquiring, Pearce learn ed that Ted's skiffs, built by his father at Putney, had not yet ar- rived. Big Bobby immediately forc- ed Phelps to use one of his shells until his own arrived. h.
 When Goodsell learned that Phelps was training in one of Pearce's boats and that Bobby was getting real chummy with the Brit isher, he set a new world record for the running high dudgfeon. He and Pearce fought bitter word duel. after which Pearce packed all his clothes and left the Goodsell home.
 Thus did Phelps unconsciously break up friendship of 25 years. Phelps meets Pearce to emphasize the irony of the situation.
 s
 Pearce is 27 years old. weighs 198 pounds, stands feet 2 inches in his socks, is the son and grand son of world champion and has never been beaten.
 Phelps is 25 years old. weighs 175 pounds, stands 6 feet 10N inches. is the son and grandson of world champion and has never been beaten.

Johnny Golden, who made many friends here on his oc- casional visits to the city with Billy Burke, showed the stuff of a real champion when he posted u IA as a defense of his Connecticut Open title yesterday most of which was played in the rain. A "A followed by a sub-par 70 gave the Noroton niblick wielder a fiye- stroke lead over his nearest op- ponent. Now the idea Is to try and catch him! .... Waterville's City league team will play every thing as safe as q spinster to-mor- row night against the Thomas club to go into their title clash with the Brooklyns Sunday in the posi- tion of having to lose twice to the Brooklyns before dropping the title which they have pretty good grip on right now If Jesse Sweetser shows up Thursday for the invitation golf play at the Wa terbury club. you will see some classy links work. should you care to and, the weather permits, for Jesse, won the U. s.

A really effective fighter and worthy champion, Brosseau has won a majority of his battles on damaging body punches, a fact which he demonstrated here last week in stopping Jimmy Hewson, of New York, in the third round With Brosseau's penchant for infightina fresh in the minds of the fans coupled with an undoubted dislike for his style of ring work, Chick Lawson, trainer of Eagle, makes capital of the situation by request ing Dick Gray to urge the referee to keep his eyes on Phirs allegedly low punches.
 Just Talk.
 To majority of fair-mindeA amateur fight fans, this smacks o1 over-emphasis and may also be taken as a tacit admission that the Eagle camp will not be violently surprised to find defeat roasting among them at the end of hostili- ties tonight. Their strategy, it would appear, is designed to fan flames of animosity which many of the fans bear towards Brosseau and excite them into yelling foul when- ger the Brass City bomber bounces OuO llttO GhO 4Id6AO OOAAAhtco0Ay 0S partment.
 Considerably riled up over the Watertown insinuations and open allegations that his charge practi- cally won several titles on low blows, Mickey Dance, trainer of Brosseau said last night that he would not have Phil change his plan of attack to Eagles body just because Charities handlers are cry ing wolf even before the fight starts adding that he will rely upon the fair-mindedness of the crowd and the efficiency of the referee to give Brosseau an even break in tonight's star bout.
 Charley Can K. o.
 In the opinion of numerous fans who have been following the anna teurs for years. Eagle has an ex- cellent chance of winning the bat tie by a knockout in the event that he does not lose his head as he has been known to do upon occas- ion when his youthfulness prompt. ed him to take unnecessary chances Both fighters are of the rushing in type which should make for one of the most lively battles, possibly rivaling the Mann-Banola bouts. Eagle depends mostly upon hooks to the head for effectiveness while Brosseau, as related, is an enthus- istic body puncher.
 The Angelo-Albino return grudge bout is bound to provide plenty of stiff punching. These boys have met twice before. both decisions going to Albino, although the local boy had a touch break in their last fight staged at Savin Rock, when he appeared we'll on the way to victory only to be stopped by a badly-cut eye.

 London-With memories of Sa- razan's "6" at the short hole dur ing the British open golf cham pionship at St Andrews; of ,Ha- gems "blow-up" in the final round; and the gale during the same round that ruined many a chance, still fresh in most golfers memo ries, the Roal and Ancient cham pionship committee already has an- nounced the venue for next years championship meets.
 The "open" will be played over the Royal St Georges clubs course. at Sandwich. Kent, from June 25 to 29. The qualifying rounds on Mon- day ana Tuesday will be played over St Georges and Princes where Sarazen won his title in 1892.
 The amateur championship will be played at Prestwick, Ayrshire, starting May 28.
 The only other important golf ing event in Britain next year Is the, Walker cup match between Britain and the United States. The venue and date for this have not yet been chosen. but 1t is expected

to take place between the anna teur and the open. quite possibly at Prince's-or some London course, such as Wentworth.
 Many believe that Royal St Georges is the better of the two Kent courses which lie side by side. It is fact that scores were high CT on the former during the quali- flying rounds of the 1892 open. In addition. Prince's was playing very easy. with the rough around the fairways cut so short that the Americans found their balls perch ed for easy seconds whenever they cut into 1t.
 St Georges is 6776 yards long with a par of "A. It was there in 1928 that Walter Hagen won his third championship with four rounds of 75, 73, 72, 72 for total of 292. Sarazen was second, two strokes behind him.

Poor Nell!
 Primo Cameras entourage isn't doing right by our Nell.
 Little Nell has been waiting pa tiently ever since. Max Baer beat Max Schmeling, and the guy with the big dogs beat Jack Sharkey, to see the natural between the two victors. ,,
 Ali year the little darlin' lis tened to fair tales that rivaled those of Grimm about how these two fighters, man mountain ana giant killer, were to tangle Tn the battle of the century after they had brushed off their respective opponents.
 And now Nell reads in the pa pers-yes, little Nell is old enough to read-about how that mean old Mister Eouis P. Soresi, manager of Camera, says that the new champ "prefers' to fight the win ner of a match between Pauline Uzcudun and Dan McCorkindale. English champ, but will accept the beetle-browed Uzzy without qualifications for a bout in Rome in October if an elimination bout can't be arranged.
 
 Public Pays and Pays
 It's hard to realize, in these times of empty pockets and empty fight arenas how Cameras host Of managers can all agree to pass up a brawl with Baer. Here they've been whetting the appetites of lit tie Nell and John Public for this natural ever since Camera stopped Eharkey's boasting.
 And now they've got down to the run-around.
 The natural reaction in the hearts under the homespun shirts of the fight public is to turn sour on the whole business and mark down Camera as a cheese champ who's afraid to meet Baer.
 Ballyhoo before the Baer- Schmeling and the Carnera-Shar- key shindig indicated that Baer and Camera would emerge vic- tors and shortly after mix for the title. On that promise the boys attended both fights like good soldiers and helped the promoters make handsome piece of change. Who Is Uzcudun?
 No one in the United States is interested in the outcome of a Camera Uzcudun fight, and it's a good thing they're holding it in Rome, for the fans would stay away in droves if 1t were held in this country. Uzzy is all washed up, and is no man to mix with anyone for the heavyweight title.
 The fans want to see a Car nera-Baer fight, and the majority of them want to see it because they harbor the belief that the crown belongs to the United States. and they want to see that slam-bang guy Baer pop in there and lift it off the brow of the na- tive of Mussoliniland.
 The whole thing is just another dark-hued optic for the fight busi- ness. a racket that can't afford to have many more such decorations before it folds up it's tent.

QUITS TENNIS TO
 SEEK GOLF TITLE
fBy NEA service)

Chicago, Aug "A former ten- his star is out after Virginia Van Wie's national women's golf title.
 She is Charlotte Cutting of New Jersey who, up to two years ago, didn't care about golf and confined her exercise to tennis courts. Ten his, however, was inclined to over develop her muscles, so she took up golf extensively.
 She took her first golf lesson in May, 1881, and before the summer was over she had annexed the New Jersey championships at both match and medal play. Miss Glut- ting has been improving rapidly since then and she may prove a winning dark horse when the wom- ems meet is played here, Aug 28.

Slow Down Backswing in Short
 Pitch Shot
 The short pitch shot with a bunker between ball and cup is one of the hardest shots in golf.
 On the short pitch shot would advise cutting down the back swing, both in speed which takes the clubhead back. and in the dis tance it goes. At the most, a three quarter swing Is enough.
 Use a club with plenty of loft. preferably a niblick or mashie niblick. The shot should be firm ly hit with no attempt to lift the ball.
 Any attempt to "pick up" the ball causes the shoulders and arms to do all manner of things, resulting frequently in com- pletely dubbed shot.

New York, Aug 22-The New York Giants string of 19 shutout victories this. year has the grand stands ohing and ahing-but the boys should have seen the White Sox and the Cubs of 1906 go.
 That year the "hitless wonders" White Sox, led by Ed Walsh, who hurled 1O~ whitewashing stunts. turned in a total of 32 horsecollar games against their opponents.
 The same, year. headed by "Three Fingered" Brown, who hurled nine shutout classics. the Cubs turned in the same number of shut outs.
 Those Sox shutouts explain why the ''hitless wonders were, able to win a per rnant.
