I cause, said to myself, there isn't any John Montague. That's just a name-the name of legendary fel- low who shot birdies with hoe han dies and baseball bats; who lifted sedans over his head, and who knocked of @ quart of whiSkey night without batting an eye.
 And then I'd listen some more to the folk about me and that would only confuse me the more. Because John Montague is very real person here. Girls spoke of his good looks, his tremendous build. Boys said, Hell, that Montague can't pick up @ car. I'm pretty strong and I can't even lift the back wheel of Ford"
 Others, probably golfers, specu- lated on how John Montague ever got out of sand trap with a hoe; how he ever putted with a baseball bat, and how he ever knocked 8 ball down the fairway with e rake.
 Not person came in the tavern but expressed the desire to take look at him. And they all hoped that Bing Crosby would be at the arraignment.
 And someone said they hoped to hell Bing would sing a song or two. Crosby's record on the phono- graph-"It Looks Like Rain in Cherry Blossom Lane"-got a ter ric play. Fast as one nickel lost its potency, another was showed in the slot.
 There was much speculation as to the outcome of Montague's trial. jotted down few opinions on a wine list," and give them to you as representing, fairly accurately, Elizabethtown's feeling toward the neighbor boy.
 "I'll lay 3 to he doesn't beat the rap. That Norton fellow the dis trict attorney brought in from Cleveland is a clincher on the case"
 Beat the Rap?
 He's a cinch to get out of it. It all happened seven years ago and who around here cares? Besides, he knows lot of important peo- pie. and that helps in a little town"
 "He made monkey out of him. self when, after they let him out on bail, he went to cocktail party with those actors, instead of going to see his mother like he said he was"
 "The other guys in the job paid, SO why shouldn't he? Knowing those fancy people don't mean any thing"
 He never should have come back"
 "It'll be a sin if he is sent to jail. He's thrown of all that crime, and made a man of himself"
 T hope they let him loose. He was just boy then"

DOnahue And PeaSe In
 Return Go Thursday

he will get shot at the winner of the PeaSe-D -Donahue battle.
 A heavyweight bout has also been billed by the Co-matchmakers Mickey Dance and Bobby Kelly. It will show Johnny Lesco, another member of the Willimantic team, and Vic Galiati, of New Britain. Both boys have plenty of power be- hind their respective punches and 1t would not be too much of a surprise to see the affair end in @ knockout. Galati has been seeking this bout for some time and is hoping that he will be able to live up to ex- pectations.
 Good Number
 New Haven's fighting representa- tive, Young Bumbo, the middle- weight flash, and Tony Andreas of New London, will also appear on the program. They are billed for an ap- pearance here early in the season, but an injured eye forced the Whaling City boy out of action.
 sammy Mammone, Stamford ban- tamweight, and Young Drisco of Willimantic will provide the, action in another of the advertised attrac- tions. Mammone has large follow ing here since his fine win over Sal (Midget' Renault of New Haven on the last show. It was the first set- back for. the New Havener, who is the states fiyweight title holder, in some time.
 Two Waterbury boys are to be seen on the undercard. Chris Grud- zinski, junior welterweight, meets Joe Brown of Willimantic; and Johnny O'Rourke, local Irishman, makes his initial start against Art Gagnon, Willimantic lightweight.
 The matchmakers will have plenty of talent available to make up the remaining card, promising the ban ner presentation af the season now drawing to a close.

SEEDED STARS
 SEEK PLACES IN. .QUARTER-FINALS
Won Cranln1 Had Another Tough MatCh-POIish
 Girl Favored to Win
BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor)

Forest Hills, N. Y., Sept. 7.--(UPJ Survivors of the early play in the national tennis championship will battle today for the remaining berths in the quarter final round.
 Of the nine matches scheduled seven involved players of different nationalities - four in the women's field and three on the mems side Three of the four women's match. es were British American affairs while the fourth was between Eng. land and Poland. Three male American players played competi- tors from France, Japan and Eng. land.
 Looks Good
 The most promising womeu's match was the one between Gracyr Wheeler of Santa Monica, Cal, and Kay Stanimers, southpaw English girl. Probably the easiest matcl, was between Jadwiga Jedrzejowska Polish champion, and Evelyn Deal man. Jadwiga is one of the tour neys favorites and a victory by Miss Dearman would be an upset. Helen Jacobs, of California and champion in 1885, was favored over Joan Ingram, and Mary Hardwwick was the choice in her match with Mrs. Dorothy Andrus of New York
 The three international tests on the mems side were Don Budee of California vs Won Petra of France Joe Hunt of California vs ,Jiro Va |. magishi of Japan and Merrirnon Cuningim of Nashville vs Charles Hare Of England. Budge, No. 1 player of the world, is an odds- or- favorite. Other matches which were toSSups, sent Frank aPrker of spring Lake, N. J., 1887 Davis cup- per, against Sidney Wood of New York, and John Van Ryn of Austin. Tex, against Charles Harris of West Palm Beach.
 Won Cramm Tested
 The other quarter-finalists were determined yesterday. victors in the mems division were Bobby Riggs of California, Bitsy Grant of AL lanta and Baron Gottfried Von Cramm of Germany.
 Won Cramm's match supplied the one bright spot of the Labor dey program. He beat Hal Surface of Kansas City, S-6, 7-5, 3-6, 7-5, but twice was within a single point of being forced into a fifth set. He had to win six games In succession to prevent 1t.
 Women's quarter -finalists dete-- mined yesterday were Alice Marble of San Francisco Dorothy Man Bundy of Santa Monica, Cal. Mrs John Van Ryn, and Anita Lizana of Chile.
 Miss Marble scored an easy 6-l, 7-5 win against Margot Lumb, an English left-hander. Mrs. Van Ryn was carried to extra games before beating Freda James, English mite. Miss LiSana loafed through an easy decision over Carolin Babcock of Los Angeles while Miss Bundy had to play a third set to turn back Marie Luise Horn of Germany.

Pease and Donahue clash for the second time in the main bout of the week. ly amateur boxing show Thursday night at the Randolph Gloves Sta deum.
 Donahue, the Stamford mixer, and Pease, Willimantic favorite, will Dc meeting for the second time, the first pairing ending a draw. That engagement was one of the high- lights of the second show of the current season here, and the fans are still talking about 1t. The boys whaled away at one another throughout the three rounds, neith- CT giving an inch and when the bell ended hostilities they found them selves all even. Some of those who saw the show insist, however, that Pease had the edge during the nine minutes of milling.
 Confident
 And, that is just what the Willi- mantle worthy is determined to prove this week. He too felt that he should have been given the verdict and insists that there will be no question about 1t this time. He is not too boastful as to how the bout will end, but he is certain that he will be able to give the Stamford youth a real boxing lesson.
 Donahue scored a fine win over Naugatucks Joe Triano in his last go at the local fight enclosure, gain ing the verdict by means of @ late rally. While he was hanging up his triumph, Pease was doing likewise in Hartford, punching his way to one-round knockout over Duke Nell son, Worcester, Mass, mixer.
 Another of the evenings top bouts will have as its principals the Nau- gatuck favorite Triano, and Charlie Hopkins, Willimantic welterweight, and hard hitter at that. Hopkins will be making his debute here and he should be able to give Triano a busy evening of 1t. Triano is espe- cially anxious to win for if he does,
