Local Middleweight Tops Amateur Card--Carr,
 TOmassetti Matched

Meriden, April 23-(SpeciaD- Three headline battles are already carded by Promoter Charlie Pill kington for his fifth amateur box ing show of the season at the city hall auditorium on Tuesday night. Benny Carr, brother of Steve Carr, will test out Patsy Tomassetti of New York, who broke in sensa- tionally on the last card, in the star bout. In two other features, Ken Perry. betting beauty from Waterbury who boasts a string of k. o. wins takes on Charley Rogers, rugged Wallingford boy now tread ing Comeback Trail; and Pete Mi- local veteran, tackles clever Joey Rosia, two-fold conqueror of Larry Teene of Southington, in the hope that he will win and thereby gain desired shot at Teene.
 Looks Good
 Promoter Pilkington has prac- tically clinched another natural that will send Harry Gentile, classy Hartford boy, against Mike Murphy East Hampton southpaw. Murphy winner by close margin in theird only meeting, is one of the very few to hold a triumph over the Capitol City ace. Paul Ritz of Wethersfield against Joe Burch of Torrington is another promising affair "in the works" for the Pil- kington show. A heavy advance sale of tickets indicates crowd may be on hand that will exceed the 1,10O that set seasons rec ord at the last card.

Also 1t produced new record for baseball crowds at Boston; Lou Warneke's second-one hit game of the year; an unexpectedly large turnout at Philadelphia to usher Sunday championship play into Pennsylvania, and 1S more four- baggers to boost the "live" ball home run list.
 Close Contest
 Bill McKechnie's Braves shaded the Giants to B. snapping their winning string at five straight. The first New York defeat dropped the champions behind the Cuba. oniy unbeaten club in the majors.
 Valley Berger led the Braves l2-hit attack with a homer and a, single. Fitzsimmons, Salveson and Bowman pitched for the Giants. Meanwhile the Giants nicked Brandt and Frankhouse for il safeties.
 Lon Warneke, who opened the season last Tuesday with a one-hit performance, duplicated the feat as the Cubs smothered the Card inais, 15 to 2, for their first con- secutive triumph. Dizzy Dean, Haul Dean, Finford and Heise allowed 22 hits, including llomers by Klein and Hartnett. The Cards made two runs in the fifth. Davis walked and Collins doubled. Davis scored on a. pass ball, Collins going to third. He came home on Moore's fly.
 Going Great
 (nlnhro ffyn1r the Dodgers made 1t four wins iri nve starts by beating the Phillies. in the eighth. Tony Cucclneiio made 8 Brooklyn homer. Ethan Allen did likewise for the Phiis. The Pirates edged Cincinnati. 5 to 4. They got off to a four-ruH lead In the first and obtained the win ming tally in the ninth when q sin- gle by Lavagetto and Thevenow's fly scored Suhr.
 Before the largest crowd ever to see an American League game in Boston, nearly 46,0OO, the Yankees walloped the Red Sox, 8 to 1, Ben Chapman led the Yankee attack with four hits in five tries, incIud- ing a homer. He accounted for i've runs. Another unexpectedly large crowd of 20,306 at Philadelphia saw the Senators nose out the Ath- letics, to 3. It was the first Sum- day championship ball game ever played in Pennsylvania. Washing ton won in the ninth on singles by Manush and Cronin and Schuisfe's long fly, accounting for the tffarg- inal tally. Frank Higgins of the As made four hits in four tries, and his mate, Frank Hayes, con- tributed a homer and two singles.
 Excellent relief pitching by Buck Newsom combined with timely hit- ting by George Puccinelli and Sam my West gave the Browns a 6-5 win over the White Sox. Newsorn replaced Weaver and allowed only two hits in the remaining six and two-thifds innings.
 Detroit at Cleveland was washed out.

LYMAN HALL TO
 PLAY NAUCATUCK
Borough Boys Need Pol- ishing After 6.5 Win
 Over Shelton

Naugatuck, April 23-The Nau- gatuck high school baseball team today prepared for it's game tomor- row with Lyman Hall, which will be played tomorrow afternoon at o'clock at Wallingford. There are many rough spots in the team which need adjusting pudging from the game Saturday with Shelton, whic hthe locals won by 5-4 score.
 The Garnet looked far from im- pressife in it's game Saturday. Frank Edmonds, star twirler of the iocalsj, did not appear as good as when he showed against the Shel- tonu team last year. The four runs the visitors scored Saturday were caused by wild iptches on the part of the negro hurler.
 The locals hitting was only fair with Nebby Balinsky, veteran plpayer and captain, scoring the first run himself after a triple and bringing Edmonds home in the third inning with a timely single.
 shelton Shower
 Waite had doubled and Edmonds brought him home with a single. In the fifth inning three Shelton men got on partly through an er- TOT on the part of Balinsky. Ed monds then struck out the next batter, heavsd wild pitch that allowed a runner to score and be- fore the inning was over three other Shelton runners crossed the plate because of wild heaves by the Heal pitcher.
 Naugatuck tied it up in its half of the fourth and won the game Tn the seventh inning. Jim De Carlo showed good possibilities as a catcher, seeming surer than George Allen, freshman, who caught most of the game. Dick Tuckey did not play because he has not shown up for practice.

&ttu Wiil xcSt TUT 6UiIiS tlIiiS.
 During the last ten years the Tommies have made futile at- fempts to wrest the Walker cup from Uncle Sam. If the present team does not make a better showing than the British have in recent years, chances are this in- ternational match will be aban- doned.
 There was some question as to whether the matches were to be played in 1882. British writers se- vereiy criticized the team that year. saying it was farce to con- tinue the challenge.
 Take It Easy
 Why can't British Walker cup amateurs make as good a showing as their professional brothers do in Ryder cup play? And why are American amateurs so superior? {? The answer is, practice and train ing.
 In reply. to criticism in which he scolded the team for not train ing. an English writer was told that Walker cup matches were friendly and that they were ama- teuP matches and not a contest for trained gladiators. In England apparently. 1t is undignified to work at . game.
 This year the rounds will be played at the Vatican of golf the Royal and Ancient Golf club at St Andrews, the most famous public links in the world. Here, in 1923 and 1926, the Britons came closest to possessing the cup, losing by a single point. Both years the score was 6h to 5h.
 Weather will be big factor in deciding the issue. If it is blowing that mist in from the sea, the Americans will be bothered with their second shots. Unlike Amer fcan courses, St Andrews does not have greens that afford a good target. Only a flag fiutters on the green, and some greens serve for two holes.
 So large are they that often the player home in two is left with an 80-6eot putt.
 Criticism
 The British team was chosen with St Andrews in mind. The se- lection committee was criticized for naming Roger Wethered. It was stated he was unreliable with the woods. But they forget that Et Andrews Is two fairways wide with no rough between them. With luck one can be a bit cratic off the tee. If Roger is on his game, there is no one who can beat him over these links.
 Ars a British amateur champion, was Wethered, To1ley and Terrence he will represent theold guard.
 Like our own team, the English squad is well balanced with ex- perience and youth. The first three mentioned were good enough to win the British amateur, while Torrance has competed three times in Walker cup play.
 Fiddian. who is the only other veteran, played on the 1889 squad. Three will be under international fire for the first time, Bently. Me- iKnley and Mclean, with another member still to be named.
 On paper the Yankee team looks much stronger. having on its roster five former and present national champions. These are Ouimet, Egan and Marston, who held the amateur title. and Good man and Dunlap, who are national open and U. 5. amateur cham pions. respectively. Only Ouimet, the captain. and two others of the 1882 squad are back-Dunlap and Westland. Three, Goodman, More- land and Fischer. are new to Walker cup competition.

Crosby Prepares

Pleased over their victory against Torrington Saturday, the Crosby baseball squad prepared for an important tilt this week. end, a visit to Naugatuck being scheduled for Saturday afternoon. WinSers of both games played to date, the Crosby team is right in stride, especially in the hitting de- partment, which will allow Coach J. o. P.

The follow through is not, as many believe, the finish of the swing. 1t is that short distance the clubhead travels, low and close to the ground, until it begins to rise again after the ball is hit.
 Why, then, will many ask, is it necessary to concentrate on a part of the swing that takes place after the ball it hit, since nothing can be done to alter the balls course once it is on its way?
 If~a player concentrates on at tempting to make the clubhead follow the ball on line to the hole 1t will have lot to do with what he does before the ball is hit. The longer the follow-through the bet ter will be the direction of the shot.
