BRIDGEPORT BOY
 |ROUTS |. POLICE BY 25O TO 187
Boucher Takes Final Block lS5 to Dunlap ys.
 St. Pierre Tonight

Outscoring his opponent better than three balls to one, Steve Bou- cher of Bridgeport, Q young. blond- haired sharpshooter, won the sec ond block of his match with Louis Police of this city, 185 to 60 and with 1t the state pocket billiard championship. His victory consti- tuted one of the most remarkable come-backs in the history of local competition, as he started the final block at the Wooster parlors, 62 balls behind Police, in the 250 point match, needing 185, while Police had to get 123 to clinch the title. The final score was 250 to 187.
 Young But Able
 Boucher is known among the pool" fans, as the "boy wonder of Bridgeport" and, from his feat of last evening, such tag is weli- earned, especially against the type of game that Police can play, and which beat Boucher 127 to 65 Sum day evening. His particular brand of billiards last night, would do credit to Greenleaf in his prime. thovse who watched Boucher click off runs of B, 30, 26 and A balls were quick to admit as they looked on with wide-eyed astonishment.
 Faced with task that looked im- possible from every angle, in view of his play Sunday night, Boucher started early playing his best game and fighting to come up even, ser- ies of bad rolls and the fact that Boucher picked out shots and made them after apparent "safe" play, made possible his win, one of the greatest of local record, old-timers believe.
 Great Finish
 At the end of the seventh inning, Boucher began his high runs and when he caught up with Police, went ahead and never to be stopped until the match had finished. His table generalship and control of the cue ball was somewhat remarkable. most of those who saw him play last night said showing 8 complete reversal of form from the night be- fore when he was unable to run more than 13 balls through the first block. Boucher, at 19 or 20 years of age, is the youngest lad ever to hold the state championship.
 Tonight, Charles St. Pierre of Hartford and Vincent Dunlap of this city play off for fifth place in the tournament, starting at 7:30 o'clock, a block of 125 points to be played.

PRO FOOTBALL
 PASSED THRU GREATEST YEAR
Attendance Is Up 2O%; Close Competition in
 Two Divisions

The National Football League en- joyed the greatest season in its his- tory during 1936 with the Green Bay Packers taking the champion ship and possession of the Ed Thorp Memorial Trophy, suplanting the Detroit Lions as titleholders.
 The Packers, after a lapse of four seasons, regained the top rank in pro football by defeating the Boston Redskins, Eastern winners, in the playoff for the Ed Thorp Memorial contested in New York. The victory of Boston in the Eastern race mark ed the end of New York's three year reign as king in that section.
 President Joe F. Carr reports that attendance throughout the season showed the largest increase of any year in the fourteen of the pro grid circuits existence. There was a twenty per cent increase according to the league president.
 No Changes
 There were no important changes in the pro playing code and the major differences between the Na- tional League rules and those of intercollegiate fotball were contin- ued. These major differences pro- vide for forward passing from any point behind the line of scrimmage, put the goal posts on the goal line, permit running with a recovered tumble by the defensive team and also provides that out of bounds balls be returned IS yards from the sidelines.
 The title races in both divisions were tight affairs right down to the last week with the Eastern crown not being decided until the final day when Boston beat New York. Green Bay clinched it's crown with a vic- tory over Detroit, defending cham pions, only week before the season ended. The Lions and Giants after winning sectional honors in 1885 were both third in their divisions in 1886. Pittsburgh after leading the Eastern parade for good part of the campaign was runnerup to BoS- ton while the Chicago Bears, who kept pace with Green Bay most of the grind, faltered in the closing weeks. Injuries early in the season robbed the preseason favorites, Chicago Cardinals, of any title hopes.
 Individual performances also sohwed a marked improvement over the previous season. Tuffy Leo- mans of New York too ground gain- ing honors with 830 yards, 300 bet ter than the 1885 mark. Arnold Her Der of Green Bay set a new record completing 77 passes for 1239 yards, and Don Hutson of Green Bay caught 36 losses for a new mark Dutch Clark of Detroit surpassed his own 1885 scoring total by 1s points with a total of 73 points.

30 per cent of its relief from the Fed

"But I can understand and agree

He said The Federal Government
must and shall quit this business OF
relief This was in January when he
asked and received the sum Of $4,000,
100000 which was to last until the
middle of 1887. It did not last. -
when the Republican party takes
ofiice it is going to solve this relief
