THORPE TO PLAY
 PALMOSKI FOR
 COLFINC GROWN
fspecial to The Democratl

Naugatuck, Sept 24 = Melvin Thorpe, Rubber company official and Creslo Palmoski, we'll known local golfer, were to play for the championship of the U. S. Rubber company this afternoon. They won their way into the finals 'of the U. s. Rubber golf tourney at the Naugatuck golf club over the week end.
 Thorpe upset, the dope by trim ming William Klemasiewicz, golf club star shooter. Thorpe was on the top of his game and his oppon. ent, apparently disturbed by hay. ing broken his favorite driver the day before, was not up to his usual form. Thorpe won three up and two to play.
 Upset
 Palmoski trimmed Herman Rab- inovitch four up and three to play. Rabinovitch had been conceded a good chance to enter the finals by virtue of his defeat of Henry Free man, medalist, earlier last week.
 Francis Kosowicz, young Golden Hill street player, worked the iron man stunt successfully over the weekend. He defeated Stanley Za- patka in the golf clubs tennis tournament 3-6, 6-4, -6-2. Lester Bushnell had defaulted to Zapat- ka, allowing him to meet Koso- wicz. Then Kosowicz tackled Har- ris Whittemore and eliminated him in a thrilling match, GA, 6-S. 6-4. This was played at the Golden Hill courts because the Golf club courts were not in as good shape because of the rain.

LAFOON TURNS IN
 AMAZING SCORE

Denver Pro l3 Below Par for Four Rounds at
 Sandy Burr

Wayland, Mass. Sept 24.-(UP) Scoring an aggregate of 275, thirteen strokes under par for the Sandy Burr course, Ky Lafoon, 26-year old Denver professional yesterday won the second annual Eastern Open Golf championship from a strong field.
 As amazing as his low aggre- gate was his record -shattering 65 on the first IS hole round yester- day. To win the title Lafoon shot 6s-73-65-69 for the 72 par course.
 Paul Runyan of White Plains, N. r., national pro champion. whose aggregate of 283 is ordin- arily good enough to win most tournaments, won second place. although he was eight under par for the 72.hole test.
 Good Work
 In third and fourth place were Joe, Turnesa of E1msford, N. Y., with 2S5. and Jimmy Hines of Timber Point, L. l., 2s6. both un- der part for the four rounds.
 Others who shared in the divi- sion of the $500 prize money were: Clarence Clark, Bloomfield, N. J., 289; Edmund Burke, New port, R. l.. Carl Nettlebladt, Rum away Brook, Jerry Gianferante, Minute Man, Emil Masciocchi, Oak Hill, all tied with 292; Johnny Goluden, Noroton, Conn, 293; Jack Patroni, Wykagyl, N.

 Jesse Guilford. Woodland veter- an, returned the lowest card for amateur competitors, scoring an aggreg&te of 295.

East

Fordham university has difi- cult intersectional card, but Sleepy Jim Crowley can be depended up- on to produce a much improved arr ray in his second year at the New York institution.
 Colgate university faces a harder program than usual, but his man. power should see little Andy Kerr through.
 Four newcomers in the ranks of eastern leaders should be Dart Enouth, Carnegie Tech, West Vir- ginia, and Brown.
 Carnegie Tech has a large sec- Ond-year crop to add to a veteran essemblage. The Plaid's prospecs ere the rosiest in years.
 Yrusty Tallman inherited a vet er0n team at the University of West Virginia. He does not have to depend upon sophomore at any position. and, with improved morale, the Mountaineers should be hard to repel.
 Brown should be stranger than h 1888.
 Earl Blaik, and two crack as- eistants, Harry Ellinger and Andy Gustafson, should boost Dart mouth to place among the lead CTS.

The winner of the series must take four races before custody of the cup will be determined.
 A committee from the New York Yacht Club refused to allow the English sportsman's protest against Harold s. Vanderbilt's actions at the starting nfark and first turn of Saturdays race. Sopwith had claimed the skipper of the defend- CT had violated rules regarding an overriding boat.
 The Yacht clubs race commitS tee. sitting in solemn tribunal on the case, had nothing to say about the merits of Sopwith's claims. They merely turned to an- other rule which says that pro- test flag must be flown promptly after the incident that causes the complaint. Sopwith didn't hoist the flag until he was within sight of the finish mark.
 "smalI Potatoes''
 On that technicality, Sopwith protest was heaved overheard and the challenger was declared loser of the race.
 Sopwith acknowledged the coin- mittee's decision in a terse letter. expressing his disappointment. aiai expressing his opinion that the s committee shad acted on "a very trivial technical formality" regard ing his protest.
 Sopwith made no other con- mbent but was evidently dis- tressed.
 The two racers were schedulAd to go to the mark again today in adverse euther conditions. Heavy weather conditions Heavy wea- ther was reported coming up the coast, and such delicate machines as the million-dollr class boa:s. with their towering masts and great spread of canvas. cannot withstand the rigors of blow of more than 20 miles an hour.
 There was the usual criticism against the committee for resort ing to technicality so small as the matter of a flag as the gov erning point to it's judicial decision. Yachting observers once more split into separate camps, arguing |hotly wherever they met.
 How It Works
 The question of sportsmanship was not involved in Sopwith's pro- test. Every skipper has right to take advantage of every technica.- ,ity under the rules to preserve his advantage. Sopwith was not only permitted but almost required un- der the regulations to break out the red signal from his shrouds, and register his complaint.
 There is c vast difference be. tween 1871 and 1884, however. Dunraven was not popular in the United States. Sopwith is one of the most popular boat owners to take a whirl at the Americas Cup. He is admired for his sportsmanship and pralsed for his seamanship.

Pichette Hits Hard
 in WatertOwn Win

Washington, Sept 23.-The Wa tertown Princetons came to town Sunday and took the measure of the locals by a score of 4-3. The game was one of the most inter l. esting seen on the local field in years. Harold Cider" Mexwell of the Princetons gave out five hits while his mates were allowed two more from the servings of Anderson, local twirler.

Middle West

Michigan figures to have more trouble in annexing the western conference crown. In fact, have q hunch that the close of the cam paign will find Minnesota in pos- session of the championship. Bernie Bierman has 10 regulars and plenty of seasoned reservists. With such outstanding players as Pug Lund and Frank Larson, the Norsemen hardly can help winning.
 Wisconsin will have the bulkiest band in the Big Ten, and should make matters more than interest," ing.
 Ohio State university, under it's new mentor. Francis Schmidt, who was brought on from Texas Chris tian, once more should be strong.
 Iowa's sophs of 1883, with add cd experience, ought to give Ossie Solem his best season, and a simi- lar situation prevails at North western university.
 With Purdue university, team that has developed the winning habit, showing no signs of weak ening, the race for the western Conference title looms as six-team affair.
 A revived Notre Dame squad is to come out of South Bend. Once again the Ramblers really should ramble. Elmer Layden can be counted upon to put splendid team team on the field. There never has been any question of material at the Irish institution. Backs like Pilney, Elser, Bonar, and Melin- kovich give Leyden a nucelus of vets.
 Nebraska. lost numerous seniors. but Dana x. Bible had highly Guccessful spring practice. Lewie Hardage's Oklahoma Sooners and Kansas appear to be the more seri- ous threats to the Cornhuskers' Supremacy in the Big Six.

additions, the same teams leading the parades.
 Five of last years eastern front runners again should be at the top of the list. There is little reason to expect that either Princeton or Columbia will have unsuccessful campaigns. Of the two Princeton, although is is without Ceppi and Lane, fine tackles, has the best chance of finishing in the front rank.
 Army has a splendid sophomore crop coming to replace a host of graduated luminaries. While the Cadets hardly are likely to come up to the final game unbeaten, as they did last fall, they should fin- ish with 8 creditable record.
 Pittsburgh must rebuild. Three regulars of 1888 have to carry a comparatively inexperienced squad through rigorous schedule. The Partners face a number of teams that have been waiting for chance eor revenge.

 Newport, R. l., Sept 24-(UP)- When T. o. M. Sopwith broke out the red flag of protest on the port shroud of Endeavour at the finish of Saturdays Americas cup race. the anxiety of international paci- fists, here for the yachting series was tremendous.
 To them, the regrettable occur renee could mean but one thing eventual war between the twQ great English. speaking races of the world. In doleful tones, they traced, step by step. the results of the protest. First would come ac- cusations from both sides that the other was cheating. This would be followed by mass meetings in Mad ison Square Garden and Crystal Palace.
 Ambassadors would be handed their passports. Hollywood would turn out propaganda pictures with such infiammatory titles as Huff Me Tonight" and "Luff Me, Luff My Dog" and British gaumont would counter with Drifting to Windward' with, of course. Diana Wynyard in the leading role.
 Some editorials columnists would demand more airplanes and goril- las.
 Irving Berlin would set a na- tion's heart beating with T Didn't Raise My Boy to Be Yachtsman. America would feed Yorkshire pudding only to dogs, and use tweed only for mopping and clean ing the car, while Englishmen would smoke their own. cigarets even if it gagged lem, and attend American films in blindfolds.
 Action!
 The marines would be called out. The Coldstream guards would be mustered. Herbert Hoover would be asked to take charge of the hardtack and navy beans. Musketry would rattle. Colored pins would be stuck in maps. Sol- diers would be stuck in suits that didn't fit. Cartoons labelled Mars" and editorials demanding the arrest of people calling suspenders braces" would clutter the papers. Then would come war.
 1H0 dl0Il VI bAAS PASAAAoec We~, partly counterbalanced by the sat- isfaction Sopwith's unfurling of the protest flag brought to certain gentlemen of Newport. They were jubilant, if bit amazed. that for once someone had beaken Mike Vanderbilt, skipper of Rainbow. to getting out the red signal. l don't know how true it is, but you hear in this town that Vanderbilt is the shrewdest of sea lawyers. that he is quick on the draw with the red flag as Wild Bill Hickok was with a two-shooter.
 In fact, I heard one may say that Vanderbilt keeps the protest flag in stops on the port shrouds, where it can be broken out on a seconds notice, and that he drills his crew in the handling of 1t just as he drills them with the sails. And that he sails with a copy of the rules between his teeth. This last is undoubtedly an exaggera- tion, for the rule book is a very heavy one, and has a highly un- palatable binding unless taken with a dash of ketchup. I'm sure a Vanderbilt wouldn't care for 1t. Copyright, 1884. by United Press)
