 McWeeney's charges had to con- tent themselves with serving the

 The exhibition marked the re-

 the establishment of relationship

TORRINGTON TRIMMED

Torrington, Sept. 30-The light but strong Zylonite A. c. of North Adams, Mass, put damper on Frank Alicky's All Torrington football team's hope of an unde- feated season here yesterday by taking them over 70 in the first game of the season.
 Beloskis passes to Sarog and Gagenebin accounted for most of 'TorrinEton's gains but the locals lacked sufficient punch near the goal line to score.
 In the second quarter Adams got possession of the ball after Alex ander's tumble near the locals goal line. On the next play Boletti took 1t over on a short line plunge. A crowd of over 1000 witnessed the engagement.

So we left with one small mouth and avowed vengeance on his fam fly. But on the bright side of the ledger was a goodly catch of great northern pike, and a respectful at- titude toward this fish which some choose to call "snake," and others belittle and deride as not worthy of the classification as game fish.

HARRY CRIMSON

Roger Hornsby, best qualified active baseball man to prognosti- cate, unhesitatingly picks the De- troit Tigers to claw the Chicago Cuos in the world series opening at Navin field, on Oct. 2.
 I hardly is necessar for Trader Hornsby to explain that his Amer ican League affiliation as manager of tie St. Louis Browns is not in- fluencing his choice. Nor would the Rajah's 19 summers in the Ma tional loop tend to color his re- marks. Even his hatred for Char ley Grimm and Gabby Hartnett has no bearing on the subject when the Trader talks.
 Hornsby never was the least bit backward in speaking his mind, no matter how painful to all con- cerned.
 Hornsby performed with the Cubs throughout four campaigns, directing the Wrigley outfit from Sept. 23, 1880, until summarily dismissed on Aug. 2, 1882. Rogers built the last pennant-gathering Bruin arfay, which came down in ront aff dac-nmfwypncmfwypnpn front after he had been succeeded by the present foreman, Charley Grimm, in 1892.
 -ornsby says that Grim and Hal tnett were not exactly on his side in his jam with the late Will liam L. Veeck, then president Of the Chicago club.
 Lonnie Warneke, Charley Root, Hartnett, Billy Herman, B l urges, Stanley Hack, and Frank Demaree, of the current rampaging c bs, served under Hornsby in Chicago. As a former National League, the Trader is intimately acquainted with Larry French, Tex Carleton, Freddie Lindstrom, and Chuck Klein.

Hornsby Calls Hartnctt County Fair Catcher

Any club closing with the sus- tained rush put on by the Cubs must be exceptional, but after op- posin gthe Tigers in eight series this season, I fail to find any req son why they shouldn't bring the American League it's first world championship in three Octobers, declares Hornsby.
 "The law of averages show the Cubs due for a letdown, and this might come in the world series, True, the Boston Braves of 1914, and the St. Louis Cardinals oi 1894 and another season or two kept right on going, but the per centage is against it.
 "A large majority of the Cubs are youngsters who are likely to crack wide open in playing for the long end of the purse in their first world series, which is what the Tigers did a year ago.
 "Ons the other hand, the Tigers, cliLching their flag in plenty of time, have an opportunity to ad- just themselves for a fresh spurt
 Nervousness on the part of Hank Greenberg and other com- paratively green Tigers had as much as anything else to do with the Cardinals prevailing last fall. These players additional year of experience makes the Detroit club superior to what 1t was in 1934."
 The veteran Hartnett, waiting 361 has enioyed his finest season. yet Hornsby insists that Mickey 'Cochrane's greater all-round abil- ity and superior judgment is the biggest single factor in favor of Frank Navin's men in knickers.
 "Hartnett hits the ball for mag nificent distances, but he's a me- chan!cal, county fair catcher-for- ever playing to the stands" as- serts the Trader. "Hartnett can't beg.l to direct the defense or ham dle pitchers with the deftness of Cochrane.
