McGraw Gets Credit From Old Empires

E. c. Quigley, National League umpire and big time football ref cree, says the late John McGraw made" him a big league umpire.
 In a talk at Topeka, Kansas, Quigley, who lives at nearby St Mary's, recalled his first big league game. He had been umpiring in the International League and nev- CT had seen a big league game un- til the afternoon he put on his blue suit, mask and chest protec- tor and took his place behind the plate. That was back in 1913, and the Giants had the tying run on third base in the ninth inning. Two were out.
 Jack Doyle was the batter and the count was three and two," Quigley recalled. Doyle looked at the next pitch and I called him out. I've looked at a lot of strikes that were better, and I was pretty shaky on the decision when I saw McGraw coming over toward me He wasn't a very agreeable fellow in a ball game"
 But McGraw wasn't tough on this occasion
 He just said to me that the game in the big leagues was the same as in the bushes. There's first base over there, he said, and down there's second and over there's third. And they have to get across the plate here to score. Then he walked away. That little talk made me an umpire"

NEW LINEUP FOR
 NAUGATUCK HIGH FOOTBALL COMBINE
TorringtOn Expected to Be Easy Opposition for
 .BOrOughiteS

Naugatuck, Nov 2.-Despite it's
 poor showing last Saturday. Nau-
 gatuck high is the favorite 10 trim
 the Torrington high school foot
 ball team here to-morrow after
 noon at 2::sO at Recreation fell
 in their annual game. There may
 be several changes in the local lineup. George Nixon, William
 Stein and Evans have been work
 ing out on the first team as ends this week, spot in which Nauga- tuck was woefully weak against the well drilled - and. powerful Harding eleven last week.
 It is possible one of these men may replace either Poscayage or
 George Allen. It seems quite prob. able that Joe Triano, who flashed a 92-yard run last week after in tercepting pass to make the Gar nets only score, will start at fuli-
 back. This position has been giving Coach Pete Foley plenty ot trouble. Marce1onis started there early in. the season but was not a. standout and was later shifted to- the line. Loman and Kudzma
 have played there. Now it appears
 as though Triano will get his chance. ts Some fans believe: the comhina- ton of Frank Edmonds and Joe
 Triafo would make an ideal pass, er-receiver duo. Triano is very l fast and could be depended upor | to go places quickly if he nabbed the ball. Edmonds is
 back in shape after taking quite | a beating last week.

Local Amateur Boxers Shine

That Waterbury will present some real class in the persons of two of three amateur boxers dur ing the winter season is evident from the results of ring competition in New Haven last night. Ken Perry, was pretty much a standout for many months but at this writ ing Johnny Buff of the South End has come along so we'll that he has attracted statewide attention. Last night he had a close squeak after 17 consecutive knockouts, winning a one point. three round decision over Fred Foy. Johnny Fitch, a colored boy. from the Brass City, won by a knockout in 13 seconds, including the count of the referee, which may or may not mean some thing to him from now on, depend- ing on the result of his next bout, and the class of his opponent.

STAR GRIDDER ATE BUG
 TO MAKE GOOD BOAST

Fort Worth, Tex (UP)-Jimmy Lawrence, star Texas Christian University halfback, took the cog nomen of his team-the Horned FrogsHto such literal application that he went so far as to eat a bug.
 One afternoon after practice someone entered the dressing room with a bug popularly known as . devils horse. Some of the boys shied from it. Lawrence disGain- fully reproached their timidity. a''
 why, I'd eat the thing for a quarter" he bragged. j
 Within ten seconds someone had produced a 25-cent piece. and lawrence, after turning bit pale and gulping once or twice, thrust the devils horse into his mouth and swallowed it.

fight with is a stout heart, a few punts, few more passes, a lot more prayers, and inspiration.
 That would have been sufficient ammunition against seven of the eight Princeton teams that have taken the field since Harvard and the Tigers broke off relations in |1926. But against this 1884 Prince ton club, it doesn't stand a chance, It was wise. wise man who said he'd give you all the inspiration in the world for a couple of blocking backs. A It's all you heard here today - the game with Harvard. You heard no bitter talk. There was no mention made of settling old scores. In fact. teh feeling here seemed to be that there wouldn't be any sort of fight to mar the proceedings. This would seem to be very logical, for, it takes two to make fight.

Tn that interview, carried in a Boston paper and brought back by some of those attending the Holy Cross Catholic university game at Worcester, October 18th, MT Mo Cabe said he had not scheduled c. U. for football in 1895 and when asked for the reason of the move, said something that he now claims to have been mis-stated and dis. torted by the reporter with whom he talked. The. whole situation re- wolves about the story appearing in Boston that c. U. was not on the Holy Cross list because of the use of certain players against Holy Cross which had. played with other colleges, supposedly a violation of intercollegiate eligibility rules.
 On or on Schedule?
 In his own letter in regard to the matter, sent to Coach Bergman, MT McCabe does not mention why C.. U. is not scheduled in 1885, which he admits though he later states, Certainly if we did not believe Tn the conduct of your athletic de- partment we would not wish to CONTINUE these games, making the matter slightly inconsistent. He says he talked with a Boston re- porter but does not mention WHAT WAS SAID In regard to C. U,, simply stating that you know how frequently riewspapermen will distort things like that"
 According to Coach Bergman, MT McCabe gave an interview to the press in which he mentioned the names of TWO BOYS who had played at other institutions and also that BOTH OF THESE MEN PARTICIPATED AGAINST HOLY CROSS.
 Rule Allows Play
 However. neither of the men re- ferred 10, played against the Cru- saders, MT Bergman states, adding that the lineup and summary of the game will bear him out. One of the men, Glodeck. by, name, played with St Anselm's college one year before transferring to Catholic university, but served Q years residence there and under the c. U. and Southern Conference rules is eligible to play two years of varsity. football. Coach Bergman adds: Every man who played against Holy Cross was bonafide student and eligible to participate according to the rules of the Cath ollie university athletic constitution which are in accord with those of the Southern Conference and every leading institution in the country. Did Not Play
 MT McCabe said two men whc had played football at other col leges played against Holy Cross, according to Coach Bergman's per sonaI letter to the writer. The lat ter says they did not play. MT Me- Cabe says his statement was dis torted by newspaperman. MT Bergman very clearly explains the situation and asks for clarification of the matter, which he certainly is entitled to. The whole thing is

FITCH SCORES ONE PUNCH KNOCKOUT
 OVER RING RIVAL
Waterbury ColOred Boy Wins With First Punch;
 Buff Has Close Call

Johnny Fitch, colored protege of Dave Karis, established a state record in amateur boxing statis- tics last evening at the New Haven Arena rocking Spec Wiley, Union City middleweight, to sleep With a hard right to the chin as the boys answered the opening gong, the blow coming 13 seconds after the start of the bout and so sweftly that many spectators missed 1t. It was a clean cut knockout and took plenty of smelling salts and time to bring Wiley back to consciousness.
 Johnny Buff, the South End Bearcat football star, pounded out a one-point three round decision over Fred Foy, 160 pound New Ha- ven negro, in the best bout of the evening. The seventeen straight knockout run fthe local lad was checked and his winning streak was nearly stopped as the colored lad, fighting for the second time within the roped area, was mo- .body's fool and gave Buff plenty o trouble. Bluffs sensational show ing in the final round earned him Referee Joe Curry's verdict. Im- mediately after the bout Foy chal- denged Buff for a return go next Thursday which the conqueror readily accepted.
 Good Start
 Big Jack Drew, 200 pound Cheshire Reformatory guard, who pitched for short time in the City Amateur League two years ago. made his first public appearance last night and boxed three round draw with Billy Carter of Windsor Locks. Drew however, held a 20- pound advantage over his smaller foe.
 Harry Gentle, 121,. of Hartford punched his way to supposedly decision over Jackie Lawrence o1 New Haven in their return go, but Referee Curry raised the arm o1 the home town boy, much to the dismay of the majority of the on. | lockers. The boys were again re. matched for next weeks card. Tommy Mack, Waterbury's com edian-boxer, mostly comedian dropped a humorous verdict tC young Al Petonito of New Haver after throwing more back hooks haymakers and what have yol than you could count, Ssw of whicf | found their mark on Petonito's l body.
 Joe Kurtz, 115. of Watertown earned a deserved three round de cision over Johnny Colburn oi Bridgeport in a fast go in which the boys mixed skill with slugging The other results were: Pete Randy, Torrington, 138, wor a decisio mover Jerry Reat, Wind. sor Locks. 137.
 Bud Read, New Haven, 145. de- feated Adam Kohn, Torrington 143.

GEORGE LOTT TO BECOME MEMBER
 TTLDEN TROUPE
America Davis Cup Hopes for l935 Almost Blasted
 at This Time

New York, Nov 2-UP)- George Lott turned professional; Frank Shields entered the nov les: Lester Storen is expected to join the pros any day now. All of which aims American Davis cup hopes for 1895.
 Announcement came yesterday that Lott of Chicago, recognized generally as the worlds foremost doubles player, has become mem- Der of the Bill Tilden-Bill O'Brien transforming troupe.
 Lott, member of the Davis cup team every year since 1928 with the exception of 1882, signed to make professional tour in 1885, opening at Madison Square garden on January 9. Terms were not re- vealed, but it is understood he declined a $10,000 straight guar antee in favor of 12 per cent of the gross receipts.
 In making the announcement, O'Brien admitted he and TildeD had been negotiating with Stoefen of Los Angeles, the country's third ranking singles player and Lott's doubles partner.
 Frank Shields of New York, the country's No 1 player, entered the movies this week, but his contract permits him to continue playing tennis since he will not make ten- his pictures. He still is regarded as an amateur. But the experts fear that his movie work will not give him time for competitive play.
 Should Stoefen follow Lott's ex- ample, and if Shields does not com pete, Wilmer Allison and Sidney Wood probably will be the Davis cup singles players next year. Ali son and John Van Ryn. a veteran team, may be used in the doubles, or Gene Mako and Donald Budge, brilliant young California combi- nation.

AMBITIOUSLIGHT WEIGHT QUARTET
 TANCLE TONIGHT
Dnblinsky and Kick in Promising BOut-JaCk-
 son vS FalcO

New York, Nov 2.-(UP)-The boxing game, which has been in the dumps these many weeks, will receive a stimulating dram of punch tonight when six aspiring lightweights of the east, midwest and far west tangl in three TO- founders at Madison Square Garden.
 Although Tony Canzoneri and Lew Ambers are not on the menu. it is possible that the next chal- lenger for Barney Ross 135-pound crown may emerge from the shin dil since the half-dozen leather whammers are among the vest best in the division.
 Two young men who have held Ross to draws collide in the fea- ture bout: Harry Dublinsky of Chi cago and Frankie Klick of San Francisco. They appear so evenly matched, habitues of punch prom enade are betting dollar for dol lar. Dublinsky is Polish ewish, while Klick is merely polish.
 Dublinsky is refreshing char acter, No. 17 in a family of 21 children, who first showed signs of becoming fitic marvel during gastronomic warfare at the stormy Dublinsky dinner table. At first, he says, he got only the softest part of the chicken-the gravy but as his technique and physique Improved, he was marching off with a leg. He is quite fighter now, and recently won an easy de- cision over CanZoneri. He Is a tall, lean individual who punches from gong to gong, is plenty rug ged and has amazing stamina. He should have considerable pound- age over Klick-so much, in fact, that it is doubtful if he can even come down to the 135-pound limit again.
 Klick the "portola pippin," has been hailed by some observers as a second Ad Wolgast, bearing a striking facial, physical and fight old d-timer. He is a fast, two- listed body smasher and a clever ring general. In 150 bouts during six years of professional fighting he lost only seven. Two were to Can- 'ast encounter by closing one of his eyes.
 In another melee, Young Peter Jackson, California negro. makes his eastern debut against Tony Falco, Philadelphia Italian. Jackson, who has been likened by west coast critics to the great Joe Cans. has been impressive in his New York workouts. He Is tall well proportioned, and an excel lent counter fighter with a formid- able left hook. He knocked out g of his 6S opponents. Falco is tough, crafty club fighter who is always coming in. Jackson is the 8 to 5 favorite to take him.
 In thet hird 10-rounder, Eddie Cool. the Irish slugger from Phila- delphia, who recently knocked out Eddie Ran. tackles Al Roth. one of the best Jewish fighters devel- oped in the Bronx in years. Cool is the to 5 favorite.
