Strong Amateur
 Card at Meriden

Meriden, July 23-(Special)- Promoter Charlie Pilkington. with pardonable enthusiasm, Expects his next offering of amateur boxing, set for next Tuesday night at the new Silver City Stadium on Colony street, to be the best of the weekly presentations this season. He bases his anticipation on the fact that he will have an overabundance of ex- pert fistic talent from which to choose.
 Three matches are already in the works, each of them a highly promising affair. Win Belpedlo, Bridgeport, will tackle Tommy Lynn, Worcester, in one of them. In the other two, Spiro Morris, Bridgeport, will face Paul Jones, Worcester, and Mickey Letta, Mcri- den vet now on Comeback Trail, will engage Joe Brisson, Danielson. The rest of the card will be made up from a classy list of candidates including Larry Teene of Southing- ton, Mike Murphy of East Hamp- ton, Eddie McGraw of New Britain, Joe Levine and Young Kirk of Wa terbury, Bud German of Williman- tic and Harry Gentle of Hartford

BLOOMFIELD BOYS
 IN BENEFIT WITH CITY LEACUERS
Hamilton Park Playground to Be Aided Wednesday;
 COllegians Play

Wednesday night at Hamilton park will witness the return en- gagement of the Bloomfield Colle- gians, composed of athletes from St Thomas seminary, who will stack up against the City league All-Stars in a benefit contest, the proceeds to be used for the kiddies of the Hamilton park playground. The Collegians performed here las tsummer and were nosed out in aclose battle by the Tribunes, Buck" Hennessey, who is expect ed to twirl part of the game for the All-Stars, was formerly a mem- Der of the St Thomas mound staff few years back. Rev Michael Guerin, athletic instructor at the Hartford institution and the de- veloper of several outstanding col lege performers, is expected to handle the Collegians on Wednes- day. Father Guerin is generally credited with the development of Al Niemic, former Holy Cross star, and also of Rubber" Kelly, sen sational slugging outfielder of Jack Barry's 1894 Holy Cross varsity nine who will appear in the Col legians lineup.
 The City league All-Stars will comprise the leading hitters of the City Amateur league and the ros- ter includes Fay Vincent, Johnny Hoben, Everett Murphy, Larry Mullen, Bob Greatorex, Ray Ahearn, Jimmy Crichton, Happy Shea, Paul Razor" Doran, "TuIk" Flaherty, Johnny Eagan, George Mulligan, Herb Colby and Dan Briotti who are expected to fur nish the fireworks for the evening. The mound duties will be taken care of by Hennessey, Pat Quilter and Charley Keeley. The Coile- gians lineup will include three To- cal boys, Lefty" O'Dea, portside flingfer of the Oakville Davies, Moe" Sullivan and young Joe Bowey, Hopeville twirler, in addi. tion to George and John Filip, Don Driscoll, Pug" Dooley, Jim O'Brien, Frank Kelly, Joe and Jack Sullivan.

The chance admittedly is not great. The Reds have a chance to win the pennant this year, but few will be willing to wager money. Nevertheless as the American doubles pair-George Lott and Les- ter Stoefen-face Australia's tan- dem, Jack Crawford and Adrian Quist, they will have the conscious ness that America has a fighting chance.
 The chance although slim is not as remote as might be supposed. If Lott and Stoefen win today, Sidney Wood will meet Crawford tomor- row in one singles, and Frank Shields will clash with Vivian Me- Grath in the other. All three matches must be won by America to advance into the challenge round with England.
 The key match is of course Woods game with Crawford. The great Autralian literally drove Frank Shields off the court Satur- day, but Shields is not Wood. The slender New Yorker is one of the craftiest tennis players in the world, and when his game is hot, he has a chance to beat any anna teur-including Crawford.
 NOnchalant
 Woods great trouble is seem- ing indifference. His match Satur- day with McGrath was lost through a combination of that, and the fact that McGrath played one of the greatest matches of his career.
 If Wood can rise to his best game Tuesday as McGrath did Sat- urday; he has a good chance to win. Crawford has been beaten this year on several occasions, and while his game is sounder than that of any of the American players, it is not invulnerable. Give Wood a good day and he is quite likely to puncture 1t.

AUTO RAGING TO REPLACE BROTHERS
 AT SAGE PARK

Dick Dunn, former general man. ager of the Boston Garden, wno was schooled in his chosen pro- fession by the master snowman, the late Tex Rickard, has forged another link in his chain of auto- racing speedways having qjust con- cluded arrangements with Allan Wilson, the famous trotting horse promoter to conduct meets this August and September at the his toric Sage park trotting track in Windsor, Conn. Dunn was in Win dsor yesterday supervising plans for the opening here.
 Just before Rickard passed away in January. 1929. he and Dunn were talking over plans to establish a chain of auto race tracks all over the country. Tex foresaw boxing slipping into it's present slump and after attending several meets with Dunn he re- marked that Auto racing is the most exciting sport I ever seed.' for Rickard always retained his Klondike styleof language. Dunn is now carrying out the plans he and Tex formulated.
 Best Drivers
 The first auto meet will be held at Sake Park Speedway in early August. Dunn is now negotiating with some of the best known &u- tomobile drivers in the country ard hopes to secure the entries of some of the best known drivers now competing on dirjt tracks.
 Auto racing has taken such a hold,' declared Dunn. that it is drawing banner crowds every where. I think Sage Park will prove most successful"
 Allan Wilson realized Dunn is the most capable and squarest promoter and he never let him rest until he agreed to assume promo tion at Sage Park. Sage Park will be a half mile dirt track treated with a special oil which has proven successful at Lang horne, Readville. Ascot Speedway in Los Angeles and several other great tracks. Dunn has learned from experience that this method is superior to either calcium or asphaltic oilways.
 Accommodations will be avail able at Sage Park for 25,000 peo- pie. The meets run by Dunn at Rockingham Park, N. H., drew as high as 56.000 people and at Langhorne, Philadelphia, as many as 35,O00 people attended Dunn $ races.

TODANS SPORTAPARADE. k8A&%h{bWAl
By HENRY MIG LEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent

Wimbledon. Eng, July 23-(UP) An Electric rabbit, so lifelike it deceives the most intelligent grey hounds, has been installed at the Westham stadium, one of London's biggest tracks.
 This new mechanical wonder not only Zig-Zags from one side of the course to another, it hops exactly like live rabbit in flight, but at the end of the race politely sheds it's skin for the winning dog to bounce upon.
 It has proved immensely popular with the bookmakers. Before it's installation, when the dogs chased a rabbit with one-track mind, is was possible for man, by intensive research among the past perform ances, to average a winner every ten races or so. But not any more. A winner a week is now considered red hot at West Ham, and a bettor who does this we'll is sure to find himself followed by an army of in- formation seekers.
 Plain Enough
 The reason for this is obvious. With the installation of the zigzag- ging rabbit all past performance charts, which is all the bettor has to go on, became useless for just because a dog had run we'll chasing direct rabbit was no sign he would run we'll against a zig-zag- ging one.
 It is actually pathetic to watch bettors try to pick out a Zig-Zag- ger. They have nothing but ap- pearance to go by and just as soon as the dogs for the next race are placed in the paddock, the bettors fight for rail position.
 A dozen different methods of picking already have sprung up. Probably the most popular school is the one that gives the preference to a cross-eyed dog. Cross-eyed dogs are very risky. however. for their success depends largely on which rabbit they happen to start chasing when they spring from the trap-the actual mechanical one. or the one that they, in their cross- eyedness, think they see.
 Lucky Pick
 If luck is against them and they choose the latter they're whipped, for throughout the race they will be rigging when they ought to be Zagging, and Zagging when they ought to be digging. Only the other night a big black greyhound. who, because his eyes were magnifi- gently Ben Turpin, was heavily backed. chased the wrong rabbit and finished a sound last.
 Another school favors the slow est dog on the grounds that being slow, the dog will be behind the others and have his view of the rabbit cut off. Not being able to see the rabbit zig-zag he will run in straight line and eventually win.
 Others lean toward long-tailed dogs on the theory that the tails serve as rudders and enable the owners to negotiate quick darts and turns more easily.

ANNUAL ALL-STAR GAME HEADACHE
 TO CLUB OWNERS
BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor)

New York - (UP) - If some bright young man could devise 8 plan whereby the annual major league all star baseball contest could be eliminated without irking the fans, he could sell the idea to the magnates for a tidy bundle of dollars and softly voiced but fervent vote of thanks.
 They won't go on record in the matter but it's scarcely secret that club heads and managers don't like the game. Neither do the players. The players take the point of view that if there's going to be game they want to be chosen for it, but they'd prefer that it just wouldn't be held at all.
 Disliked by Magnates
 The magnates cordially dislike the whole idea. Lots of reasons. A principal one Is the matter of risk involved. Another is that two con- secutive open dates have to be dropped into the schedule. lIiCl ' tllE pOSSlOlAlly VI upsetting a clubs pitching routine, schedule might have called for We'll, he pitched in the all-star sequence would have to be re- jiggered.
 Another objection deals with the ho ndliro nf n hn n Bill Terry. manager of the Giants, was manager of the National League All-Star team. He might have kept Hubbell in the game longer and thus (so the argument runs) have won it.
 Took Hubbcll Out
 But he eased Hubbell from the pitchers box as soon as the screw ball ace had performed for the least possible period. On the other side, Joe Cronin, manager of the Washington Senators and of the American League All-Saars was forced to use both Lefty Gomez and Red Ruffing, two New York Yankee pitching aces, on the same day. This couldn't be regarded as helping the Yankee pennant cause.
 It does seem, however, that the magnates may be overlooking all important point: The all-star game churns up an enormous amount of interest in the game just when q mid-season lull might be setting | in.
 | "Must" Item
 | If the fans alone were to be con- sidered the all-star game would be a must" item of each campaign. Some 15,000 were turned away from this years game at the Polo Grounds, and countless thousands of others didn't try to buy tickets when informed that all reserved seats had been sold.
 As for excitement, both the 1883 game in Chicago and the recent game here overshadowed anything the last few World Series contests have offered. The ovation given to Hubbell for his feat of six strike outs in two innings, a performance which numbered such aces as Babe | Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Jimmy FoXS among the victims, dWarfted the most violent outbursts of cheering the last three series have con- tained.

HEARTS HUMBLED BY BROOKLYNS
 IN LEAGUE GAME
Errors and Dozen Hits Aid in DOwnfaIl--Tribes,
 Hills Win

Five runs in the last two innings of a short game plus some pretty pitching by Frank Berardi pushed the Sacred Hearts off half the perch atop the City Amateur league. allowed the Tribune A. C.. to take the place all by themselves and marked the Brooklyn A. 0. as the club most to be feared by the
 Good Start
 With a two run margin in their favor after four innings of play, the Hearts semed well on their way to an expected victory, but Brooklyn batters got to Conway in no uncertain fashion after nicking him for three runs in the fourth which Heart errors helped to make possible. But the Hearts came back with four markers in their half of the inning which was plenty good enough until the sixth, when Conway was hit so heartily he had to retire in favor of Patrick Gull ter, who also was touched for a run and by that time the clock struck four with Brooklyn in the van, g to 2, and that's the way it ended. A peek at the box score will reveal eight miscues, which tells the story, after an even dozen hits by Brooklyn. Berardi did more than his share in the victory, for two hits out of three tries were credited to him, and though hit II times, a collection of four runs in the fourth was the greatest amount of damage.
 If Conway could have matched his pitching with his hitting, the result might have been different, for he, Vic Radezvich and Ray Ahearn got two hits each, Conway's being doubles while Yoksza hit a homer for Brooklyn, Moore got a double, with Datelle, Pesaitis and Zedgryn also hitting hard.

One frequently hears that wo- men golfers make the mistake of overswinging. I said mention many leading feminine golfers who take full, free swings with great suc- cess.
 The source of the trouble does not result from overswinging itself, but from the fact that many wo- men golfers lack strength in their wrists to control the swing.
 This means that strong wrists are an aid to god golf, and the player who has weak wrists should cut down the backswing. Don't try to take the club back to point beyond which the wrists Will lose control.
