TRAVEL

TRAVEL
Americans like to go places and
see things. That's the reason they
like news reels, books on adventure
and why they flock to hear Byrd and
Halliburton. We can we'll adhere
the famous slogan "See America
First"-for there is plenty to sec
and we can go that slogan one bet
ter: "See the Peninsula First" For
here one can readily find dash Of
old England, a wealth OF colonial
architecture and atmosphere and an
abundance of interesting places to
go. There are historic shrines, un-
usual industries, beautiful offscapes,
water sports of every description in
Guiding swimming, boating, regattas
and don't forget the Fishing Fair
September II.
In some places people live in yes
teryear, in others you'll find things
newer than tomorrow. Probably the
greatest of all shifts of population
travelling we call it-came as the re-
suit of tiny speck of hot fruit from
a small oriental tree. When the
Turks captured Constantinople, the
caravans moving in from the East
were halted and with them the sup
ply of pepper was cut off. Some
other way had to be found to get to
India and Cathay to secure pepper
and spices so necessary to the plepa-
ration of often tainted foods. Co.
lumbus, inspired by the Portuguese
navigators, had an idea that the East
could be reached by sailing west
His travels brought him to America,
home of the worlds leading travel
lers.
More people are becoming travel
conscious everyday because travel is
being made easier, simpler and more
pleasant. Many people move in and
out of the Peninsula by airplane.
Others come and go by water and
quite few enthusiasts on the East
ern Shore have taken to the auto
trails. Mr.. E. T. Moore of Preston
often hooks his specially appointed
trailer to his sedan and sets out on
journey of a week or more. Every
convenience is offered to the travel
Ter of moderate means in the city
parks and community camp grounds.
Planned trips to any place on the
North American Continent are gladly
worked out by the Conoco Travel
Bureau of Denver at no cost to you
incidentally, every community on
the Peninsula should catalog it's at
fractions and make some provision
for attractively accommodating tour
lists passing this way.
One of the most travelled persons
on the Eastern Shore is Mrs. Glen
Stewart of Cape Centaur on the Miles
River near Eason. Her jaunts about
the world have brought to her beau
tiful home many unusual momentos.
There is man down at Salisbury
who goes over to London every year
to sell sweet potatoes and there is
travelling association composed of
some five hundred statesmen who call
on the Peninsula business men and
if all of the VS. miles driven by your
scribe during the past year were
placed end to end they would go
around the world one and one-half
times.
Where have you been, what did
you see, where do you want to go?
Why? No matter where you go,
you'll want to hurry back to the East
ern Shore. Take a trip this summer
you'll like the Peninsula better
for it.

POMPOON TO RUN AT NARAGANSET
Loucheim Two-Year-OId Has Chance to Earn
 Over $IOO,OOO

Pawtucket, R. T., Oct. 9-Jerome H. Louchheim's bay colt, Pompoon, outstanding two-year-old of 1886 and winner of the rich Belmont fu- turity in record time last Saturday, will now be pointed directly for New England's richest and most impor- tant stake, the New England futur- ity, scheduled to be run at Narra- ganSett park on Wednesday, October 28. Such is the definite statement made by owner Youchheiin and Trainer Dan Clarke to President Walter E. O'Hara this morning.
 Pompoon, distinguished son of a distinguished sire, Pompey-itself the winner of the Belmont futurity in 1925-has proved 8 rare bar gain for Jerry Louchheirn. Pur- chased as yearling from William R. Coe for the insignificant sum of $2,000, but victorious in six of its seven starts todate, the big slashing bay colt has already netted for its owner the neat sum of $78,4 to head the list as the leading money winning ju2enile of the season.
 A victory in the New England fu- turity, which in this it's inaugural year will gross in excess of $55,000 will zoom Pompoon's earnings way over the $100,000 mark and will place him within striking distance of the immortal Top Flight, High Strung, and old Pompey itself, for an all-time record of two-year-old earnings. The cold, well hammered and easy to train, will be shipped

YALE STRESSES . AERIAL PLAYS FOR PENN. II.
 -- Scott to Start at Tackle Post Wright Moved
 10 Guard

New Haven, Conn, October 9 - (UP) = Yale's football squad held its final practice today in the bowl to bolster the betting edge 1t holds over Pennsylvania in tomorrows game, the 18th since relations first were started in 1879 at Hoboken.
 The starting lineup will be shift ed little over that of last week against Cornell. Captain Larry Kelley and Bob Carey will take the wing positions; Bill John and Merri Scott, if the latter recovers from a head cold, will be at tackles; Jack Wright and Bill Dickens, guards; Bob Beckwith, center; Al Wilson, quarterback; Clint Frank and Bud Miles, halfbacks, and Dave Colwell at fullback.
 Scott was scheduled to start his first game since he played with the famous iron men" two years ago.
 The coaches bore down this week on perfecting the aerial offensive which proved so effective against Cornell and which paved the way for Yale's three touchdowns. . The Pennsylvania squad was due here late this afternoon for a brief workout before dusk.

drome club is true, then it, and not the fight, will be the show piece of tonight's festivities. Reports are current that Promoter Jacobs has dressed the place, which not so long ago was the home of Billy Roses extravaganza, Jumbo" until it re- sembles a cross between cocktail bar, a chorus girls boudoir, and the royal box at Ascot. Every seat in the place is an over-stuffed red velvet number, and the carpeting gives the effect of walking over a field of Persian cats.
 Promoter Jacobs, they say, has even gone SO far as to turn an artist loose in the place with in structions to knock of all the murals he could find walls for. The artist, I hear, ran out of walls after a week of work, but undaunted did a pair of giant screens which will for mthe backstop for the ring. The screens (and this is still hear say) depict the decline of Rome and Dempsey knocking Firpo down for the seventh time.

New York, Oct. 9-Joe Louis fights a Gaucho from the Pampas named Jorge Brescia in Mike Ja- cobs' very plush hippodrome club tonight, and the analythical minds among the boxing gentry think Joe very foolish to have signed for the bout.
 Their line of reasoning is that because of the limited capacity of the Hippdrome Git seats fewer than 7O00), Joe's 30 percent of the gate can't possibly exceed $l5,O00, and that he is foolish to risk his mil- lion-dollar reputation, and possibly his chance for title fight, for such a paltry sum. To back up their argument, the critics point out that Brescia is tough as the steers which range in his native Argen- tina, and has a right hand capable of doing every bit as much dam- age to Joe,s chin as did Schmel- ing's, which heaven knows was plenty.
 I don't agree with the critics. It's hardly to be expected that l would for, as I said, they are ana lythical, which makes me as differ ent from them as water is to wine. I couldn't analyze one-way street on a bet. But that's not here nor there. The point is I think they're wrong. In the first place, $15,00O isn't a paltry sum. It's not haircut money in my language, specially for fewer than thirty minutes work.
 Not Much Trouble
 In the second, Brescia does not constitute a genuine menace. He's big, yes, and has a long reach, but so did Camera, and if Bootsie was a menace then Webster's definition of the word is wrong as broken watch. Much has been said of his deadly right-hand punching, but don't believe it. He's a fair hitter, and that's all. A reading of his record doesn't leave you with a picture of the trigger man on the loose. Moreover, Brescia is no ga- zelle on those feet of his. His foot work is bit on the laborous side, as is his thinking. When things get a bit tough for him and he is forced to throw his mental machin- cry into operation, the creaking reminiscent of a haunted house.
 My guess is that he won't be around for the fifth round. If he is he'll probably be one of the most surprised person on the premises.

TORR|NCTON ii MEETS CROSBY
 FOES SATURDAY
Visitors Have Not Beaten ScOfield Lads Since '29;
 Locals Shaken Up

Crosby highs football team meets Torrington high at Hamilton park tomorrow afternoon at 2:30. Crosby will be shooting for its first victory of the season and Torrington will be coming down to avenge 28-0 licking received last season at the hands of Crosby.
 In fact, Torrington has several blots on its football escutcheon to wipe out. The Big Red team has beaten Crosby only once since 1929, the year that Torrington captured the state title. That season, Tor rington defeated Crosby by the rather narrow margin of GO, and since that year a Torrington eleven has taken but one game.
 In 1892 Torrington took Crosby 60, but all the others were chalked up as Crosby victories. Schofleld'S eleven triurnphed in 1880 by 25-6 count, in 1881 the score was 19-0; in 1883, 13-0; in 1884, 400; and last year 28-0. This year is another year, however, and scores made in other seasons will have little bear ing on the outcome of tomorrow's battle.
 So far this season Torrington has won one and lost one. Lewis high of Southington was beanten and last Saturday, Ansonia, rated as one of the outstanding teams of the state, defeated Connie Dona- hue's eleven, 15-0. Crosby, with a tie and a defeat are on edge to score a victory and figure that to- morrow is the time to begin.
 Crosby Shaken Up
 Coach Schofield has shaken up the eleven a bit in preparation for to- morrow's game. He will probably start Fritz Borzilauskas and Mo- Nellis at the ends. McNellis has been battling Wally Pranskaitis for the job and tomorrow will probably draw the starting assignment. He is not so big as Pranskaitis but his clean, hard tackling has impressed Coaches Schof1eld and Murphy. Capt. Eddie Borzilauskas and Joe Romanauskas, Crosby's 240-fb giant, will start at the tackles. Borzilaus- kas is a great lineman at any posi- tion and RomanauskaS with his size will render that particular spot im- pregnable.
 At the guards, Mazzarella and Partin will start. Weighing 165, and built close to the ground, this pair is strong defenSively. They have shown more speed coming out of the line this week and should strengthen the running attack which has been a bit slow to date.
 Pete McSherry or Miller will start at center. For the first few weeks Miller looked to have the job cinched, but McSherry right now rates on at least even terms with Miller. It will not be surprising to find McSherry in theli neup at the opening whistle.
 Murphy At Quarter
 In the backfleld Murphy will call signals instead of Vailone. The lat ter, potentially great ball carrier, has been calling the signals, but al- lowed his mates to do the major share. With Murphy, right half, calling the plays, the modest Red" will have 8 chance to show his speed tomorrow. If he can hang onto the ball he should go places.
 Tony Urcinas, who ripped holes in the Torrington line last year, will be at the left half-back posi- tion. Tony looks even better this year than last and should give the visitors plenty of trouble tomorrow.
 Jack Johnson will play full back and do the kicking.
