ARMADILLOS IN
 FREAK-SCORINC
 BOWLING MATCH
Fred Henning Once Again Overshadows Field
 at Elks' Alleys

Fred Henning opened the Ringer rolling at the Elks last night by hanging up the mark that the lads were to shoot at all evening, a 588 total. Henning did especially well in his first game, when he rolled 213, a game score that was beaten by the 233 rolled by fellow-Tree- toad, Jack Elliott With the high scorers of the night on their side, the Treetoads had not too much trouble in taking two games from the Dinosaurs.
 But, it was during the seconu match that the excitement of the night really arose. When the Arma- dillos lined up against the zebras for their big encounter, it must have been too much for Lady Chance, for she surely dealt from sweetly stacked deck. The Armadillos copped the first and third games and ran up the high team total of an even 1,700 pins, and those first and third games, were identical in every detail of the score. In the middle game, the two trios tied, and tied at the highest team game score of the night, 596. Meanwhile, two Ar madillo rollers were setting up some marks for themselves, Bob Kauf- mann compiling total only three pins less than Fred Henning, and w. s. Pullen finishing third in both single game and set scoring with marks of PIP and SIP.
 The last match of the night, be- tween two brands of horses, the Mustangs and unicorns, went to the legendary spiked steeds, two games of three.
 Elks' bowlers will enjoy a rest to- night, as the alleys remain clear during the meeting. Scores made last night by the Ringers were:

(Continueo rom Page One)

Seven members of the Judiciary Committee are against the bill and four are in favor.
 Question, Reply
 Senator O'Mahoney asked the At torney General If the High Court was increased by fifteen, would it not still be in danger of an 8 to ' decision?
 Tt might happen but would not expect any such result" replied the Attorney General amid laugh ter.
 Tit for Tat
 Senator Austin contended the Constitutional m n d m nts are quickly adopted If the people fa- vor them"
 Cummings replied: If they touch property rights or doctrines of great party. they cannot be ratified in any reasonable time"
 Cummings asked Senator Aus tin how ''One minority Senator could sit there and say there was no reasonable doubt of the consti- nationality of a law when several Court Justices said there was."
 T can be one of a very small minority standing by convictions, replied Austin, wno is a Repub- lican from Vermont
 "Yes, the last election showed that" replied Cummings.

Torchy Peden, the flaming red head, is well-known to the bike world. He boasts the greatest record of any rider in North America. He has won 28 races. Only one rider, Pete Van Kempen of Holland, now retired, has won more-29. Torchy finished second 15 times, third five times and fourth 10.
 The big Canadian is confident that with brother Doug he will tic Van Kempen's mark-and beat it
 Torchy tutored his brother sev- eral years. Doug is not small-21O pounds and he stands 6-1. But 230- pound Torchy dwarfs him. In time, Doug is likely to catch up. He's only a growing boy.
 Just For Boat Ride
 Doug followed his brothers foot steps. Like Torchy, he competed for Canada in the Berlin Olympic Games. After the Games, Doug turred professional and in Sep tember rode in London. He did not ride with his brother, and the best he could do was eighth. Doug also competed in 6-day races in Chicago and Milwaukee. but it re- mained for him to chalk up his first victory when paired with his brother in Buffalo.
 Torchy had his fling at 'amateui racing before turning pro. He went out for the '28 Canadian Olympic team for the boat ride but became so successful he decided to make a career of bike racing. Now he's tops in his profession.

COPS AND SCRIBES
 TO CLASH AGAIN?
BY H. PoINDExTER McGRATH

BY H. POlNDEXTER McGRATH
 Proving that they can take 1t, the Waterbury police baseball team (so- called) has challenged the Report CTS to another game, which if ar. ranged by managers Cal Marsella and H. P. McGrath, will be played on the Washington park diamond soon, too soon in fact, for the blue- coats. Local fans memory Is re- freshed to the drubbing handed the Roachmen three weeks ago when the adding machine broke dwon" leaving the final total open to ques- tion. However at the time the Scribes were so far in advance that Sergeant Jack Hayes, rnoundsman for the police, remarked that he was never so glad to see darkness blanket the field.
 Popped Up
 In issuing the second challenge Manager Mafsella was heard to say something to the effect that the shieldmen are now in better condi- ton than ever, having been receiv- ing instructions from Sergeant Charlie Nolan. Efforts to have the second contest umpired by Deputy Superintendent Dan Carson were met with opposition by the newsmen today. since the selection of the fourth estaters seems to be Judges John P. McGrath and Edward Mas colo. The inquest will be conducted by Deputy Coroner Walter Smyth, who will be called upon to learn just why the cops believe they can beat the reportorial workers in a base. ball game, by anything else.

Today's Sport
 Parade
By HENRY McLEMoRE
United Press Stan Correspondent,

New York, July 29-CUP)-What- ever 1t is that beats eternal in the human breast-hope, optimism, or foolishnes ess-H Herr Maxmillian Schmeling of Berlin, Germany, nas plenty of it.
 No one can seriously doubt this after learning that Schmeling is busy selecting a new wardrobe for another trip to America and an- other challenge for the heavyweight boxing championship of the world. I heard the news today and was so surprised that my brand spanking new yachting outfit that have purchased for Newport wear lacked epaulettes, brass buttons, and an extra pocket for mothersills.
 Maybe the man has greyhound of-the-seaitis," that being a malady a man catclAes after his 200th At lantic crossing. Once with 1t, noth- ing satisfies the victim but to be ever on the rolling deep. Certainly Schmeling has crossed from Ham, burg to New York and vice versa, as we rfer to the New York to Ham, burg trip, often enough to feel out of place anywhere but on the top of a wave It would have been an economy move on his part to buy an ocean liner for his private use. As it is, he has crossed so often that ship captains stand on him instead of the bridge, and take his word on navigation in preference to mathe- matics and the sextant.
 Round Around a Rosy
 If he isn't suffering from grey hound of -the-seaitis" then he must have developed such fondness for the old boxing game of run around" that he just must come over and play it with Madison Square Garden and Mike Jacobs.
 You would think wouldn't you, that Schmeling would be tired of always being "it?" That he would demand that someone else be given the "run-around" once in a while. Certainly the magnificent double cross that was handed him by Brad dock should have taught him that nothing is so worthless as boxing promise-unless it be written box ing contract. But he's hard one to convince, and is coming over, this time with the high hope of meeting the winner of the Louis- Farr fight.
 Schmeling wants to meet the vic- tor of this monumental encounter in Philadelphia. If Farr happened to be the winner, Philadelphia would be grand place to hold 1t. In the first place, Philadelphia Is the city of brotherly love, and Schmeling- Farr fight probably would drip brotherly love. In the second, Phil adelphia is a peaceful, quiet city, where the burghers love nothing so much as goo dsleep. A battle be- tween MaXie and Tommy would of- fer every incentive to a restful snooze. There would be nothing but the ring bell to keep them awake.
 Braddock vs Baer
 Even if he doesn't get a shot at Louis-his real objective-Schmel-
