GENLOT ALLEYS
 OFFICIALLY OPEN
 NEXT SATURDAY
Frank Hayes, Mayor and Lieut. Governor, to At-
 tend Ceremony

The Genlot Recreation bowling alleys announce the official open ing of their eighth season for next Saturday, a two day bowling car nival to make the affair an auspi- cious one.
 On Saturday afternoon at 3:0O p. m. Lieutenant Governor Frank Hayes will be on hand to conduct the opening ceremonies and to welcome the bowlers in the mixed doubles competition which will be followed by a special match game between Bill Cunningham's Grade A bowlers from the R. F. Worden plant and the Hotel Palace team led by Bill Tato, Waterbury's rep resentative of the Connecticut Blue Ribbons.
 The mixed doubles event which is open to all corners should be well patronized, for this particular form of competition Is becoming more popular each season and will in all probability from now on be part of the regular event in both the National and State champion ships.
 Five games will be rolled, total pin fall to count and the bowlers are being asked to contribute 75 | cents per person. In view of the fact, the sponsors are guaranteeing the substantial prize list, there should be little difficulty in report ing a record entry.
 Under the supervision of Bob White, the Genlot Recreation Is making bid for recognition and | popularity such as was accorded them in their opening years. They were pioneers of the north and south series and operating with the Blue Ribbons brought the first | Washington, and Baltimore teams to Connecticut. The Eastern Sweep stakes, ranking next to the United States sweepstakes in importance, was also conceived by Bob White and Frank Barber, the first big in dividual event to take place within the state, and the entry of GA bowlers from all parts of the coun- try is still record that has never been matched.
 At that time it was the show .place of the state, with its 19 alleys and all that went with it, and had to take second place only with the construction of the Morgan Recre- ation in Hartford. To-day the alleys look as good as ever, for Bob White has had the entire building reno vated and the alleys put in first class shape, making 1t as attractive as one could desire.
 The opening date, set for Sep tember 7th, is following the usual custom of declaring the alleys off, cially open Labor Day, and the bowlers of both sexes are already limbering up.
 On Sunday there will be series of individual matches both after noon and evening in which Jack White, Bill Tato, Bob White. Bozo Dente, Tony Iannarone, Wally Pipp and Mike Begino will take part.
 Bob White has long been con- nected with the game but has kept somewhat in the background. His name, however, can be coupled with that of Frank Barber of the Blue Ribbons as being responsible for the rapid growth of the duck pin game throughout Connecticut and helping to make it the most popular of all indoor winter sports

CAMPBELL 'LOAFS ALON C" AT 24O BEFORE BIG TEST
Salt Flats of Utah Seem Ideal Place to Set New
 Auto Speed Mark

Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, Sept. 3-(UP)-Determined to set a new worlds record for land speed, Sir Malcolm Campbell wheeled his Bluebird racer out at dawn today for another run on the hard packed salt flats.
 Campbell and his mechanics tinkered with the giant speedster behind locked doors last night, making a flew minor adjustments thought necessary after the trial test yesterday, when he "loafed along" at 24o miles per hour.
 Between and 6 a. m. (PST) e and 10 .. h. EDT) Campbell was expected to point the long nose of his car down the 13 mile straights away.
 All Alone
 Sir Malcolm already is the only living persons to exceed goo miles per hour on land and set the worlds record at 276.816 miles per hour, at Daytona Beach on Febru- ary.
 Always before, an inferior track slowed him down or failed to give him enough running room. His worries are over as far as . track is concerned, he declared.
 "Never have I seen such . per- feet course," he said. "The old lady moved 50 effortlessly I forgot I was going to hold down to 180 miles and spurted up to 24o. 1t was the smoothest and most enjoy- able ride ever had at that speed"

 Cleveland, Sept. 3.-Six hun dred skeeters, not the pestiferous type that slay you in Jersey, but those of the growing army who have turned to a new game to brush up their shooting eyes, will invade suburban Cleveland, Aug. 25-31, for the first national sKeet tournament.
 ~he sport was originated seven years ago by little group of Massachusetts upland hunters who banded together to form new contest designed to keep their shot, guns busy during closed season.
 How the sport has grown! To- day there are nearly 1000 skeet clubs in the United States, with following of more than 100000 enthusiasts. Purely an American game, the sport has migrated into South America, Spain, Eweden, England, and Hawaii. Delegations from Sweden and the American territory wil ltake part in the com ing tournament.
 From all corners of the country the nations crack shots will come, shooting for the national crowns in many divisions.
 Mrs. Sidney R. Small of Detroit, considered the outstanding woman shot in the country, will compete.
 I. O. Bates of Dallas, left-hand- cd expert and winner of the South western championship will be here, as vii; Dr. R. G. Vance, great eastern smallbore champion from Waban, Mass.; Ollie Mitcshell of Natick, Mass, captain of the 1884 All-American team; l.. $. Pratt, long run champion from Indian. apolis: Jack w. Reavis of Cleve- land. middle western title holder; Winifred Hanley, brilliant Con. necticut woman shooter; Russell G. Merriman of Vermont, runner up in the recent Lordship shoot; and tho five members of the na- tional championship team from California.
 Stimulates Actual Hunting
 The reason for the popularity of skeet is easily explained. It pro- vides for that great army of out doorsmen who are wingshots chance to enjoy a sport that Iur- nishes almost exact duplicate situ- ations found in duck, grouse, quail, snipe or pheasant hunting.
 It is a year-round sport, being inst as practical with three feet of snow on the ground as 1t is in summer. There Is nothing about the setup that makes construction prohibitive for gun clubs of mod. crate circumstances, and is so adaptable that many golf courses throughout the country have adopted it as a means of revenue auring the off season.
 The skeet field measures about lsO by 500 yards. The shooting Aeld itself occupies only a small plot of ground, semi-circular in shape, with diameter of 70 yards. Around the edge of the serai-cir-
