 BUCKINGHAM
Turcotte Wins Easily But Fans Complain; Small Crowd. Present

One of the hardest left hooks to the body that one could hope to see in a boxing ring. resulted in a tech- nical K. o. being scored by Nick Tarello of Hartford against the tough Young Bumbo of New Ha- ven last night at Buckingham hall. A crowd of less than 750 fans turn- ed out for the first indoor show of the Waterbury A. o. after six suc- cessful outdoors presentations, re- Sulting in 8 situation that may re- suit in the sudden folding up" of the sport in this city.
 Tarello, 8 telling puncher, start ed a strong body attack on Bumbo with the first bell, and never stopped until one of his punches produced Q result that halted the bout. Dr. Joseph Slavin's examination diS- closed a painful bone bruise but probably no fracture. Johnny Marco of Bridgeport looked like a certain winner over Joe Russo of Hartford but Russo got the nod amid a gen. eral ''sQuawk" by the customers.
 PoOr SpOrtsmanship
 Disliked by his home town fans, because he has not been beaten in this city, Dick Turcotte may have made his last local showing for the boy is justifiably disgusted with the shabby treatment he has been get ting in this city. Turcotte has never made a bad fight in two years, and after Shellacing Jimmy Strong of Bridgeport for two and Q half of the three rounds, there were many "boos" when Referee Jim Calvin gave Turcotte the decision which he earned ten times over. Strong was knocked down in the first round and completely outpointed in the second.

New York, Oct. 9.-(UP) To days essay Is nothing more than . ready guide to New YrolEf city.
 I prepared 1t last night when I happened to think of the thousands of out-of- town World Series fans who will be in New York Sunday with nothing to do. There won't be any game, you know, because the series is best four out of seven, and if the Yankees don't get the one game they need today every hen in America will complain of tooth- ache. 1N r.4.
 Grants Tomb: A,bad day to visit here. because the old general has been drafted for bullpen service by the Giants. He will follow Gumbert, Coffman, Smith, Brennan and Mel ton. The general will be the man in the blue uniform.
 Aquarium: Home of lucky fish who didn't make the Giants. You will miss the octipi, however, as Bill Terry rented them and, after fitting each and every tenacle with a glove, sent them into the out field, under the name of Andy Co., hen.
 But you will be able to see the snail that ran for Gus Mancuso in the second game and the only "fin" that the scalpers didn't get for at $1.l0 ticket
 Greenwich Village: Where men have hair as long as Giant rooters' faces. Where, in garrets, you can see the only New York cob-webs not on Giant bats.
 .Triboro Bridge: The quickest way to get out of town and forget the series, if you can resist the tenpta- ton to jump of at the 250 foot point. The man poised on the rail, without benefit of water wings or parachute, probably will be Terry.
 Radio City: Where you may see the only stars the Giants didn't see.
 Statue of Liberty: Get there be- tween the hours of l:30 and 4:30 in the afternoon and you can watch the lady give the Fascist salute to those sterling Yankee 1talians-Di- Maggie, Lazzeri, and Crosetti.
 Broadway: Where the trafflc is almost as heavy as 1t is on the base paths when the Tanks are at bat.

Gems and StratfOrd Holy Names in GridirOn Clash

Special to the DemOcrat)

N0RO-
 Naugatuck, Oct. 0.-The manage Hnent of the Naugatuck Gems" arl- ncunced that "Albie" Booth, former Yale star would act as referee Sum- day afternoon when the Stratford Holy Name Pros take the field against the borough team at the Recreation Field.
 This. will be the first appear ai1ce that "Albie" has made in town on the field of athletics since he became nationally known through his exploits at old Ell. He has made many friends throughout the state during the past few years giving lec- lures on football and no doubt many will attend to get 8 glimpse of him and renew acquaintances of the past.
 Assisting "Albie" as umpire will be the popular Ray" Foley, whose ath- letic accomplishments at Catholic University will never be forgotten, and Johnny" Cluney will known sports editor of the Waterbury Dem- ocHat, will handle the lines.
 The Gems" will work out for the last time tonight in preparation for the game on Sunday, under the lights at the recreation field. Wednesday evening they went through a lengthy dummy scrin- mage" with the Ramblers. The drill uncovered many faults which were readily corrected and 1t Is expected that the team as 1t takes the field Sunday dressed in It's new equip ment will be the smartest and most powerful team that was ever seen in the little Naugy Rubber Town.
 s Action Ahead
 The Bristol West Ends and the Danbury Trojans have been in tele- phonic conversation with the man. agement of the Naugatuck team during the past week in the attempt to arrange 8 game for this Sunday and also for the following Sunday, 1t is very evident as to why these teams are anxious to play Nauga- tuck at this early date. The ofn. ella of the Gems" realize that Uanblry and Bristol are ready for all types of opposition at this writ Ing and they are reluctant to send the Naugy boys against too stiff an opponent until they are sure the club Is in shape for such a contest Then on the other hand if they skolild be beaten by Danbury and Bristol early in the season Nauga- tuck would automatically be elim- mated from the championship. It is the policy of the officialS of the Maugatuck team to proceed cau- tIously for they promised the fans { Of Naugatuck 8 team of which all would be proud and which would bring back to Naugatuck the foot balI glory that has always been here.
 The management announced last evening that Stanley Balinskas, 22O nound tackle who played a few yeArs back with the strong Hoy Crnss team. has been signed and Mili start ct the left tackle berth sunday.
