eJO1CInueQ from C1TSG fdkc.t
pians TO end disorders and show the
world this country has no need for
. dictator to assure It's existence"
Doumergue had spoken on his desire
for immediate action on questions of
foreign policy. He had pointed to the
imminent need of balanced budget.
But government officials saw in last
nights outbreak taste Of what
Mondays 24-hour general strike,
called by the French Federation Of
Labor. might bring.
New Trouble Feared.
The rioters called their demonstra-
Non against what they termed q
swave of Fascism" The cry was
schoed In Socialist quarters support
ing the strike movement.
Neither Socialists nor Communists
were included in the new government.
Leon Jouhaux, president of the
labor federation, disClaimed any in
tention to demonstrate in the streets
Monday, but police feared Communists
would stir up trouble on a larger
scale than ever.
Demonstrations Tuesday were di-
rected against the government, 1t
was charged high officials were i'm
pncated In manipulations resulting in
the failure OF the Bayonne Municipal
Pawnshop. Royalists joined in.
Wednesdays disorders rose partly
from public indignation at the shoot
Eg of civilians Tuesday.
Since then, Communists and street
boodlums have taken the lead in vio-
tnce.
The riots which ragged last night
tnd early today extended over a far
wider area than either Tuesdays or
Wednesdays battles. The Commun-
lists took the streets not so much to
manifest. police charged, as to fight.
Running Battles Occur.
When police broke up their march
fpward the Place de la Republique,
where they had announced a demon
Etration, they broke into small sec
tons. Groups would flee into side
streets, only to reappear and attack
police anew. Running battles quickly
developed. The rioters fired freely
into the ranks of the police, who
fred mostly into the air.
Finally, the Communists built huge
street barricades Of newspaper kiosks
and benches. Torches we're applied
From behind these blazing barriers
they battled with gunfire and showers
Of paving stone.
Police were repulsed time and
Again, but finally closed In from the
Gear.

THREE PROMINENT
AMATEUR BOXERS
TO BECOME PROS
Mann, Hicks, and Barg=
nesi on UNDERGRAD of
BrOuillard=Olin Show

New Haven, March 27.-Match-
maker AL Caroly has arranged sew
eral good preliminary battles in
support of the Lou Brouillard-B Bob
Olin, ten-round star bout at the
Arena on Thursday night, April 5.
In six-rounder, Jack Renault,
New Haven slugger, will face
Harry Marcus of Newark, N. j., a
Jewish boxer, at 1872 pounds.
Nathan Mann of Hamden, and
Jimmy Hicks, New Haven boy, will
make their professional debut in a
four-round bout at ITO pounds. An
other four spot will put on display
Johnny Battick of New Haven, and
Ralph Bargnesi of Norwich. These
boys are heavyweights.
For his semi-final of eight
rounds Caroly intends to pit Steve
Carr, Meriden mauler, against the
best available opponent that he car
secure. The Mann-Hicks bout should
be a repetition of the stirring
struggle that they staged here last
winter, one which went to Mann
after each boy had scored knock
downs and had the fans in a state
of frenzy.
Bargnesi. a rough, tough fellow
will be the hardest hurdle that Bat
tick has yet been called upon to
hurdle. In his last local start, Bat
tick beat Tony Kayer of Hartford.
Marcus, according to the advance
dope, is a classy Hebrew fighter
who should give Renault very in
teresting evening of it. RenauIt is
coming along nicely under the
management of Anthony ParilIo
and expects to fight his way to a
semi-final rating against the
Newark battler.
Tickets for the Brouillard- Olin

SPORTAPAEADE.
k&ARmk4@
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press StaffCorrespOndenl

\OHltcu frcSS neutrality-suspicious.
Augusta, Ca, Mar. 27-UP)-
Mr.. Charley Hall, veteran Birming-
ham professional, one-time P.G.A.
president, one-time longest driver
in the game, and now on the direc-
torate of two banks, has little pa
ments.
In fact, Mr.. Hall is of the mind
that the money circuit, which
opens late in the fall and carries
right through March, is spelling
the game. Spelling it. as he ex-
planned over a cup Of tea at tho
Augusta National club, by making
form secondary to victory.
"This business of money tour
nament after money tournament"
Mr.. Hall said in voice loaded
with disgust, sis rapidly turning all
the professionals into a bunch of
| Dangers and nothing else. And if
you paid any attention to the form
of the players in the Masters In
vitation you know I'm telling the
truth. In all the field of 70 play
ers there were just three real
swingers-Bob Jones, Mac Smith
and Ed Dudley. The boys have be-
come so money mad and victory
mad, they don't care how they get
the ball down just so it goes down.
They'll kick it, shove it, jab lido
anything.
"Before it became the rage for
professionals to make living
or try to make a living - out of
prize money, and they stayed at
their home clubs and taught, it
was pleasure to watch the oc-
casional big tourname In field
of hundred, 80 of the players
would be stylish strokers, with real
rhythm in their shots. But now.
watching the big name pros is like
watching a troupe of second rate
acrobats.
l may be crazy, but to me the
fact that a man finishes ~ holes
in the fewest number of strokes
doesn't necessarily make him a
champion. Form is the soundest
measure of a champion. Not only
in golf, but on most of the other
sports. Pass me a slice of lemon,
please"
Mr.. Hall didn't ask me what I
thought of his line of reasoning,
but it seems to me that it's very
sound when applied to some sports
and very unsound when applied to
others. In connection with boxing.
it doesn't hold water. Take Demp-
sey and Loughran when they were
in their prime, for example. Lough-
ran was a master craftsman whose
every move was perfection. Demp-
sey was just the opposite, but who
would place Tommy above Jack as
a champion?
In tennis. Mr.. Halls reasoning Is
all right. Bryan Grant, to choose
a man whose style of play is about
as graceful as a terrier digging for
a bone, could beat Bill Tilden
every day in the week, but he'd
never be a champion, in the real
sense. He's too ungraceful.
| Take bowling-well, you go
ahead and take it, and while you're
at it, take javelin throwing, plung-
ing for distance and intercollegiate
wrestling. I'm not interested.

ST STAINS TEAM
TOCLOSE SEASON

The st STAINS teams both boys
and girls will officially bring the
season to close tomorrow night
when they invade Thompsonville
to meet the st CyriPs teams in a
regular state league game. The
teams are evenly matched and a
close set of tits is anticipated by
the Thompsonville fans. The boys
will be bidding adieu to disas-
trous season as far as victories are
oncerned-however things look
better for the future years and
the nucleus of a strong team. will
be retained for next season when
more victories and less defeats
will be the new order of things.
Menturwick, Suzteckie, Boroway,
Rembish, Kuska and Gmitzrak will
be retained and with this years ex-
perience under their belts should
have no trouble finishing if the first
division next year.
THE girls had more successful
season winning a few victories and
their latest feat Of holding the
Winsted "Y" girls to O. low score
has not hurt their morale. The
girls playing under the banner of
the O'Fes will invade Winsted on
April IL, to meet the Winsted
girls in return game-the last
for both teams. Captain Stef Sliz,
Sallie Sliz, Mae Ostrowski, Jennie
Balinsky, 10 Wyrebek, Wanda
China and Helen Carmen will be
back for another season next year
with hopes Of securing the state
title under the capable direction of
Coaches Kaminski and Suzteckie.

|FLASHY SCOVILL
CLUB and CHASE
TEAMS TO MEET
WOrdens and u. S. Rubber
in Second Game to
End FOur-Way Tie

A rousing finish in second round
basketball play of the Industrial
league is promised from this even
ing on, with the present situation
showing four teams tied for second
round honors in the race to meet
Chase for the championship. 1t SO
happens that Doc Kenneally's club,
winners of the state amateur
championship and Democrat-Y. M.
C. A. trophy, also took first round
honors in the Dusty league and
are tied with the Scovill, Worden
and u. S. Rubber teams at this
writing, in regard to second round
leadership.
In a Bunch
The big tie-up resulted last week,
when the Scovill clan unexpected
ly knocked over the ambitious
Worden Milkmen, who let Howard
Thorndyke Kraft get away with 26
points, and a new league scoring
record. The same Mr. Kraft and
the same Scovill team have the
Chase champions on thier hands
tonight, and a win there will in
delibly mark them as the worlds
greatest upsetters. The contest, one
of two scheduled, is set for 1880
p. m.
Last Chance
The Worden troupe. anxious to
recoup its loss Of last week, will
have to bowl over the aggressive
U. S. Rubber team of Naugatuck
in the $3.50 number tonight, If
they intend to have slight chance
to come through with second round
hOnOrs. Chase is the only team
that can afford to lose, but they
can also afford to win and COP
the title without a playoff by taxi
ing both rounds of play which
should be settled next week.
At any rate, two bang-up games
of basketball are on the books for
this evening, with George Dillon
to officiate the games and take part
in the dancing which will follow
the second contest.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-03-27

All that's changed now. With
the news that "Ekky" is to be
brought back to the wars in April,
the equine brothers are consider
ing a petition to congress, asking
from the tracks.
They point out that his return
will deprive them of a decent liv-
ing and, they assert, that is con-
trary to MIRA policy.
Well do they remember:
His three wins over Twenty
Grand. The humping around
he got the 1888 Hawthorne Gold
Cup race only to pass Gallant
Sir, the bumper, at the far turn
and come on down that stretch to
win a mighty victory And the
Arlington Handicap win over
Plucky Play and Gallant Sir with
1876 pounds aboard! The way
he ran away from Gusto and Mate
in the 1898 Arlington classic :.
The seven in a row he won that
year.
Some Speed
They look with awe upon
The world record of 1884 2-5
that "Ekky" set over mile at Ar
lington park and say it was
the most remarkable performance
in American turf history be-
cause he was carrying 1913 pounds
. which was IS pounds more
than Jack High toted when he set
the previous mark of 1875 flat.
They recall:
His comeback as a 4-year-old
after his crackup the previous
year How he amazed the
world by his 2-year old record {.
which made him Kentucky Derby
favorite . and caused $1,000,000
to be wagered on him in the win
ter books only to be lost when
"Ekky" broke down with a seri-
Gus illness and leg injuries :.
But Freddy Hopkins brought him
through this trying time to
be the best 4-year old in the field.
Money Winner
There is little wonder, then,
that this great horse, now years
old, is the prime favorite every
time he gallops on a track. His
record is compared to that of the
| immortal Man o. War. Already
"Ekky' has earned more money
than big Red" and has bested
the great warriors time in the
mile, although not equaling the
old-timer's marks in the mile and
an eighth or mile and a quarter
! distances.
c. v. Whitney's chief reason in
bringing Equipoise back to the
tracks is to beat the money-win-
ming record of Willis Sharpe Kill
mers' Sun Beau. To date "Ekky''
has drawn down purses totaling
$322,970, which is $53,774 short OF
the record of Sun Beau.
The Whitney horse might have
smashed this mark in 1898, but,
due to reduction in handicap
classic purses, his earnings were
cut considerably. This year, how
ever he has good chance to pass
the mark, since purses are picking
| up.
His first appearance is SEIZED
uled for the $500 Philadelphia
Handicap at Havre de Grace, April
81.
If he does break Sun Beaus' rec
| ord, his fitting reward should be
permanent retirement to field of
| luscious Kentucky blue grass,
where he can romp, roll and eat
to his hearts content.
