The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-08-07


 During an all-day conference yesterday between Marshall and Charles Francis Adams and asso- ciates, present owners, an agree ment was reached for an intricate financial set-up under which the Marshall group would constitute a Braves Management Operation Corporation" while ownership con- tinued to rest with Adams and the present minority stockholders.
 The First National banks inter- est in the deal arises from the fact that the Braves borrowed several large sums of money under the regime of E-President. Emil Fuchs. Their approval or objection is ex- pected to be made within a few days.
 Under the tentative plan the Marshall group would manage the Braves, putting in as much rebuild ing capital as they cared.
 Shares Guaranteed / Meantime, Adams and associates would be guaranteed the present agreed value of their 14,300 shares of stock, no more no less.
 Marshall could buy them out at that agre ed valuation. under an op- ton which would probably run for i've years.
 Or, on expiration of the option the present owners might pool their holdings into new corpora ton with the Harshall group.
 President Ford Prick of the Na- tiohal League was understood to have okayed the plan by telephone.
 While running the club the Mar shall interests would pocket per- centage of the profits, using the re- mainder to pay off current liabili- ties. The Adams group would not cut in on the profits, being satisfied to see club debts cleared up.
 Agreeable
 Adams, conservative by nature, seemed enthusiastic over the plan and praised the hustle" and abil- ity of Marshall. Adams, unwilling to assume active direction of the Braves because of his hockey, racing and chain store interests. announced his readiness to Ego along with the proposed new op- orators.
 Marshall, the probable new d. rector of Braves destinies, is a na- tive of Mason City, West Virginia, and was educated in Grafton, w.. Va, and Washington. He has been actor, stock company manager, sol- dier, and laundry executive. He has been owner of the Boston Red- skins of the National Professional Football League for the past four seasons.

FARLEY WINS OWN GAME FOR CHASE
 AGAINST BRASS
Pitchers Hit Wins Tight l.O Contest in Feature
 Dusty League Tilt

Paced by Ned Farley as mounds man and batter the Chase company baseball team of the Indusetrial league defeated the American Brass, To, last night at Hamilton park. The contest was witnessed by the largest crowd of the season and by virtue of the victory, Chase is practically assured of the second series title and the opportunity to meet the Brassmen for the season flag. In the remaining Dusty league tilts played, the Waterbury Button company beat the Clock nine 9-S, and the Naugatuck Chem ical topped Scovills S-3, while play ing before borough spectators.
 Five Hits Apiece
 The Chase combine practically broke up a pitchers duel in the third between Farley and Joe Strokalaitis. During the entire route 10 hites were evenly divided. Both teams lost out several times on poor base running when in SCOT ing positions. Chase garnered their lone score in the third when Bowen juggled drive off the bat of Bobby Greatorex and Strokalaitis allowed Steve Boroway four balls. Speed" Conway was safe on an infield hit which filled the bagss Farley then hoisted long fly to Selenske in right field, Greatorex scoring on DOT relay throw in. Strokalaitis attempted to do something about the situation in the fifth when he poled along hit to deep left field which rolled to the fence. Greatorex and Conway were alert on arelay and the big hurler was nipped at the plate.
 The game was delayed for some time in the first inning when Sem- etas of the Brass and Briotti of Chase took time to adjust their difficulties. The summary:

Ump Drinks as

Urgent need of a drink of water caused Umpire Garren to stroll away from the playing field up at the Hopeville stadium last night during the Hearts-Diamonds con- test, and the result was that both teams ended up in lively dispute due to a protested two-base hit, which was rapped out while Car ron was stopped over the nearby bubbler remedying the parched condition of his throat. The argu- ment lasted until darkness fell and prevented the continuance of the game. The Hearts were leading S-5 at the time of the protested double. The protest board will hear the case tonight.

(UmteU FreSS 6taM OOrreDpOnuent)
 Chicago, Aug. 7.-(UP)-Having consulted the best boxing brains of the country and found them to be of the unanimous opinion that Joe Louis will put the ol' chillereo on Kingfish Levinsky at Comiskey park tonight, I unhesitantly pick Kingfish Levinsky to confound the B.B.B.O.T.C. and put the or chil- leroo on Joe Louis.
 The or chilleroo, as you of course know, is boxing's jargon for what is technically known as ''laying. one on the or potato for keeps." It is synonymous with chilling" "icing'' "stiffening." and 'laying him out among the sweet peas."
 In challenging the best boxing brains and picking Levinsky- and tell you this quite frankly--I am making a supreme effort to salvage my shattered reputation as a fight picker. My reputation Is so com pletely shot to pieces, that only a volcanic upset, with me as the only right guesser, will do it any good. If I picked Louis, say, and he won, 1t would help me a little, but not much.
 On the other hand, if Levinsky lands his graveyard speciaP and proves the Dark Bomber" to be ju=t a dud, will be as much of a household name as ammonia. As the only man who picked Levinsky people will turn to look at me on the street, sandwiches will be named after me, and might even get a bid to the White House. And wouldn't just love to see Sistie and Buzzie first hand! The repub- licans, for want of better man, might even run me for president, and could be both president and right.
 But enough of this day-dream- ing! Actually, what are my chances of redeeming my past failures as q picker and becoming famous as the nian-who- ho-picked-the-King :? To tell you the truth, can't see any. The best you can say for the Levinsky of today is that he's big, willing, has a heart large as a watermelon, and is as honest as day is long. There'n be no hand cuffs on Levinsky, which in the argot of the ring means hell be giving all he has, all the time. His only hope, and even he ad- mits it, is to land one of those wild, cobblestone rights which he dispenses with such utter abandon, on Louis jaw. am hoping that the King will come out swinging with the bell and keep on swinging until something drops, be it he or Louis. oh, the horror of it if the King tries to think and box scien- tiflcaliy! The King just can't think and box at the same time. He gets so begged down in his thoughts that he can't move an arm or a leg, and is easy prey.
 Levinsky's style Is made to order for Louis. The King is a wild. open rusher who keeps piling in, and Louis is q cild-blooded. smooth, smart sharpshooter whose punches pack the authority of a .45.
 But can he take it? How will he respond if the King happens Co blast him a few in the belly and on the j0w in the early rounds? will he shake them of and keep coaling. or will he--and once again I'll have to lapse into the patois of the pugs-will he start tincanning it?
 I'll give you an aswsr to those

GRIMES CARRIES
 OLD FIRE BRAND
 IN &. EYE CIRCUIT.

Springfield, III. (UP)-Burleigh Grimes. former firebrand and hur- ling ace of the National league, is just as tough on umpires in Three Eye league, where he manages the Bloomington (Ill.) club, as he was in his major league heyday.
 Burleigh pitches occasionally. and while on the mound he usu- ally is constantly pickering with the umpires over the calling of strikes and balls. When he's on the coaching lines Burieigh keeps the argument going.
 He's been elected from the play ing field on at least haf a dozen occasions this season, and recently had to ze escored from the Deca- tur field when fans charged that he deliberately attempted to "bean" one of the Decatur players.

Mattatuck will be the scene of hotly contested inter-district Connecticut Light & Power Co.,, twilight tournament tomorrow, when two sixteen-man teams rep resenting the Waterbury and Mer- iden districts will hurry to the Wolcott links as soon as the busi- ness cares of the day are laid away.
