some of your shots before you
actually play in a match or set.
Warm Up Well
Take a good long warm.up on
the court before starting to play.
Try to hit most Of your shots be'
fore you begin to play.
If you find your shots going
well, practise a little longer than
usual before you start playing.
I have found that more benefit
will come to you if you practise
when your shots are coming off
correctly than If you practise
when your shots are bad and you
feel discouraged about not max
ing good.
Above all be serious about your
game and try to improve it. The

Personally, I've spent the last
five minutes, not wondering what
1 think, but do 1? The best I can
do in fact is still what the eyes
see, which is that Bulge, with an
improved forehand, is lis better"
than he was a year ago and would
have beaten Quist and McGrat1,
the ailing Australians, as easily
as he did Crawford and Brom-
Wich.
At that, he wasn't getting his
first ball in at all often. Had
he done so, he would not have
been the only American to lose a
set (Bromwich's 60, 6-3, 81,
cd; 1 doubt, in fact, whether
he would have lost many games.
The guy, on his performance here,
simply must be as good as any
amateur in the world.
Grant, naturally, isn't. After
giving him the back of its neck for
five years, the tennis association
finally gave him a chance-and
he paid off with straight-set WINS
over Bromwich and Crawford, tine
latter at 60, 60, IS.

made the more uncertain through
the loss of Teller and Cochrane.
Cochrane's loss is the more
serious, since he figured to catch
100 games or more this year. He
probably would have hit well up
in the higher brackets, and
driven in his full complement of
runs.
1t may be argued on behalf of
Teller that you can't laugh off,
nor discount, a 20-game pitcher,
and come to think of it, 'tWould

Simmons Hits
AL Simmons flourished in the

whaled the ball as he used to
whale it, making six hits in the
course of the afternoon. -Four of
the six were infield blows that tore
through the defense, but there was
not a gift hit in the sextet. A few
more days like yesterday and the
strutting Aloysius will be right

If you love a man who fights
fiercely in the face of odds, you
loved Shanty Hogan yesterday.

two doubles, no less, and he scored

fight for that catching job, and
more power to him; he'll be

lesser breeds have fled the scene.

Jack Blackburn
Bears Down
On Louis

KENOSHA, Wis, June with
creaking Joints, Joe Louis lounged
about his training quarters today,
lust about convinced that the most
horrible monster in Christendom
is a fiend in human form by the
name of Jack Blackburn.
Yesterday Louis reported for
work before q large holiday crowd
in the belief that he would breeze
through is usual six rounds against
a couple of listless Sparring part
ners.
But there was no mercy in the
heart of Trainer Blackburn, and
he applied the whip with the gusto
of a Cossack. While the persplra-
ton poured off Louis in rivulets,
here is what he was forced to do
under a Scorching sun:
1. Box IA full rounds in the
ring.
2. Shadow box one full round.
3. Go through seven full
rounds Of toll on the big bag,
small bag, rope skipping and In
floor caliSthenicS.
That makes % solid rounds,
and every one was the 3-minute
limit, a fact which might dispel
the notion that the black boy will
have trouble travelling is heats
with Jimmy Braddock in Chicago
on June %, if he has to.
Louis handlers figure such a
workout was just what Joe, who
has not been very impressive in
training, needed.

voluntary. Insofar as the consumer is concerned, competition among manufacturers of similar products will keep the resale prices of these products low. Insofar as the re- taller is concerned, this competition will keep margins fair, because the manufacturers will be competing for the retailers goodwill and coopera- tion, he states. The Tydings- Miller act eliminates the last doubt of the legality of resale price maintenance contracts between a manufacturer of one state and 8 retailer in an- other state.
 Two important fair trade points adopted recently by the National Association of Retail Druggists, which action Is binding upon Con- necticut druggists, provide that re- tailers should refrain from all CO., ercive measures and should not dic- tate or attempt to dictate resale prices.
 Weekly meetings of the Connec- ticue Fair Trade Committee will be held at the new headquarters, l30 Washington street, Hartford, where the executive secretary, William Meyer, will be on hand to answer all questions and cooperate with manufacturers, wholesalers, retail CTS and consumers, alike. Later the Connecticut Pharmacy Association will have its headquarters at this office.
 Increasing interest is being dis played in the fair trade act by con- sumers and many persons are ask ing their neighborhood druggists tc explain what 1t is and how 1t works, according to reports made by the various enforcement captains scattered about the state. In few weeks, now that the legality of the measure has been tested and the national association has adopted a strong policy, the state committed expects to pass on scores of con- tracts. And, MT. Dunphy states, in many instances, the consumer who has long since become accustomed to paying 39 cents for an article bearing the price 50 cents on it> label, will remain unaware that there has been any change, for the fair trade act will maintain steady prices and not increase them.

SPECULATION OVER
 NEW APPOINTMENT
Attorney General Daily Be- comes Superior Court
 Judge Sept. P

Possibility that a Waterbury man might be honored with the position of attorney general of the state of Connecticut vanished last month with the naming of Assistant Attor- ney General Frederick Dauch to the post of deputy tax commissioner
 Attorney General Edward H. Daly, present incumbent, will vacate his post on September 9 by advancing to the seat on the superior court left vacant by the advancement of Judge Newell Jennings from the su- perior to supreme court bench.
 From all indications, Assistant At torney General Charles McLaugh- lin will be the man named to take the place of Attorney General Daly. There was a possibility that MT. Dauch might have been so honored but his transfer to the tax depart ment now makes 1t practically im- possible.
 Attorney General Daly. who will officially become Judge Daly within few weeks, is a native of South IldVAi6 bCCA bO4A tAACA ' in 1892. Educated in the. Hart ford public schools primarily, he received his law degree from Cor nell university in 1914 and was ad- mitted to the Connecticut Bar in 1915.
 At that time he became engaged in the general practice of law, but during the war served as a lieuten- ant in the aviation section of the United States army signal corps Back from the war in 1919 he re-. stunned his law practice and for one year served as assistant United States attorney for the district of Connecticut. He was associated in the practice of law with John P Forward, under the firm name of Forward & Daly.
 He became attorney general ii, 1884 and has served in that capac- ity until the present time. The only assistant he had from Water bury at the time of his confirma- ton for the judgeship was MT Dauch.

JOHN ROOSEVELT
 GIVEN RAZZING

Hyde Park, N. Y, Sept. 10.-(UP) John Roosevelt and Anne Lindsay Clark, pretty blonde debutant, con- tinued their romance in Boston to- day, after a merry "razzing" from the president and other members of his family forced them to flee" the summer White House. Young Roosevelt and Miss Clark, who had come here to greet him on his re- turn from a European vacation, left by automobile. Boston is her home, and Roosevelt is preparing for his last year in Harvard university at Cambridge.
 Johns eldest brother, James, said the young couple said goodbye to Hyde Park ito get away from the razzing and so John could prepare his room for college" Meanwhile, the president and Mrs. Roosevelt eagerly awaited the visit of their third son, Franklin, Jr., and his bride, the former Ethel Du Pont. They come from New York city to- day where they will arrive from a European honeymoon tour. The president devoted much of his time to the radio speech which he will make to the country from Washing ton September IT to celebrate Con- Stitution day.

Connecticut will be well repre- sented by gas and gas and electric company executives at the 18th an- nual convention of the American Gas association to be held at Cleve- land, Ohio, during the final week of this month check-up among the Il public utilities which are member companies of the associa- tion revealed today.
 Connecticut will have still more prominence at this convention of the gas company executives from all parts of the country, since the gen. eral nominating committee of the association has presented the name of George s. Hawley, president of the Bridgeport Gas Light company, to serve again on the national board of association directors, consisting of nine prominent utility executives, for the coming two years.
 Convention
 Particular interest centers this year on the convention and an un- usually large attendance is expect ed, because this will be the first time that the annual meeting has been held in Cleveland, the home of the American Gas Association Testing Lboratories where gas appli- ances are submitted to the series of rigid tests to prove that they match in every detail the adopted stan- dards before they are accorded the

Hartford, Conn.,, Sept. 10.-Con- sumer interests will be fairly pro- tected and, generally, retail prices will not be disturbed under the fair trade act now in effect in this state, according to William J. Dunphy of Waterbury, president of the Con- necticut Fair Trade Committee, drug division. With the signing of the Tydings-Miller act by President Roosevelt, the National Association of Retail Druggists has adopted 12-point plan of operation for fair trade committees throughout the nation and shortly the Connecticut committee will swing into action.
 While the state druggists have been organized and ready to func- tion for some weeks, action was de- layed pending the fate of the Tyd- ings-Miller act, which, MT. Dunphy says, is not price fixing measure, in spite of the hue and cry raised by its opponents, but merely an enabling act permitting manufac- tlrers to contract with retailers in the different states where fair trade acts are in existence. When man. ufacturer avails himself of the op- portunity he has to maintain fair resale prices, his action is purely

laboratory'S seal of approval. This seal is now found on about 95 per cent of all the gas-burning appli- ances sold in the Matted States. Founded a dozen years ago, the lab- oratory has been the object of great interest not only by those in the gas industry but by the public in general since its seal of approval has become known and recognized throughout the country as the mark which shows the appliance bearing it to be capable of maximum ef- ficiency and safety in performance. The Cleveland laboratory represents dollars by the gas industry and in- cludes apparatus that is not lu- plicated anywhere in the United States, or, in fact, in the world.
 The laboratory has also been the base for the expensive program of research conducted by the gas in- dustry to produce better and more efficient household gas appliances and to develop new and improved methods for applying gas heat in industry, commercial cooking and the like.
 Clearing House
 The annual convention of the gas men will, as in the past, be the clearing house for exchange of thought on the industry's problems and services. The program will in- clude outstanding speakers selected from other industries as we'll as prominent executives in the gas field. The meeting is held each year to enable gas companies in all parts of the country to take advantage of improvements in services and opera tions which will be of benefit to the. customers of all companies.

POLICE CAUGHT IN NEW RACKET
Burlington, Vermont, Chief Stops Promoters Before
 Going Far

Burlington, Vt., Sept. 10-(U.PD- Police today investigated what they believed was a racket In which their own Benefit Association was used as a tool.
 The association contracted last week with an imported promotional group to raise funds for its silver anniversary ball October l3.
 Eight promoters arrived in a trail- CT and were installed In offices at police headquarters. On official po- lice stationery, hundreds of letters were mailed to prospective contribu- tors. Police Chief Victor Fisher said today he believed that his name, as it appeared on the letters, had been signed by promoter secretar- ies.
 What exasperated police even more, however, was inclusion in the letters of an "intimation" that large contributors would be treated kind- ly if and when they ran afoul the law hereabouts.
 Telephone Calls
 The groups high-pressure cam paign went even further. From six specially installed telephones, pro. motors made no fewer than I'll long distance calls costing $5O4.50 in three days.
 At the end of that time Police Commissioner John J. Burns sum. marily padlocked the groups suite. He estimated from $l,000 already collected that, if the campaign had continued until the night of the ball, at least $30,000 would have been Under the contract this would have been split 50-50 between association and promoters.
 As soon as the offices were closed Burns said, promoters and trailer vanished. Burns, also an alderman, reported the case to fellow board members, and last midnight the po- lice commission voted to have Ser geant H. E. Bousquet, association president, continue the inquiry.
