JACK DEMPSEY IN HARTFORD MONDAY

Hartford, August i2. - The 10. round joust between Litghtweish Champion Lou Ambers and Cowboy Howard Scott of Washington, D. O., at South Park next Monday night, already laden with oil the aspects Of . great natural" takes on added giamor with the news that Jock Dempsey, boxing immortal, will be the third man in the ring.
 Ainbers' Connecticut record, which includes . draw with Jimmy Leto in pre.chanpionship days and an easy victory over Phil Baker since he took on the titular toga, will be in grave danger of being besmirched when he tangles with the towering Texan.
 Third ranking lightweight six months ago and today one of the nations most-feared i3S.pounders. That's the story in Q nutshell of Scott. A clean-cut and impressive win over Frankie Klick, former junior lightweight king; along with victories over Bat Battalinc, ex- worlds featherweight ruler, and the classy Norment Quarles were large- iy instrumental In lifting the Cow boy from relative obscurity to the present high estate he now enjoys.
 Against Klick, Scott opened the eyes of the boxing sharps with his sharp punching and all-around class.
 Soft-spoken and mild-manfiered, Scott is, nevertheless. completely confident he will defeat Ambers and in so doing qualify for Q return shot at the title. "This is the op. portunity I've asked for, the Cow boy asserts. "and now that they've finally got Ambers signed for me. you can bet I'll make a fight ot it." scotts punching prowess and general class caused many of the top- fighters to give him the run- around, among them Tony Canzo- neri.
 Scott will give fans hereabouts an advance showing of his sctock in trade when he trains at the Char ter Oak gym in Hartford on Thurs. day and Friday afternoons of this week, starting at 1 o'clock. He's due in this city Thursday. accom- panied by Manager Gahe Menen- dez, 2e.year-old veteran of the flstlc game. Ambers Is expected in Hartford on Saturday.

THOMAS CLUB FACE BRISTOL
 THIS EVENING
City League Champions Invade Bell City to Meet
 West Ends

Harry Melvin, guiding genius of the fommies, city champions to- night takes his warriors to Bristol where they will participate in a twi. light game with the West Ends, champions of Bristol, The willy manager of the Temmies Is doing this in eFdeF that his charges may be In top shaps for the game at Hamilton park this Sunday, when they meet the fast stepping Zulu Cannibais in the second game of Q double header, In the first at- traction Ray Frani's All Star group of players from tho City league will oppose the Ethiopian Clowns.
 The Clowns come to Waterbury with the impressive record of 35 straight wins, They have met and defeated some of the leading semi. pro teams of the country and fans are assured of real ball from these fellows. In 6 night game ct Dan- bury last week they played the Danbury drays, and when tho smoke of the battle he'd cleared the score was i6 to 0 in favor of the Clowns, having collected 5 home runs and the pitcher striking out ie of the Gray battefs, This game will get under way at ii30 and prior to the game the Ethiepiahs, garbed in red wigs, clown outfits and war painted faces will entertain with their faa nous "Shadew Ball Entertainment.
 Melvin will have as opposition for the Tenlniies, the worlds champion eelered team, the Bernee Zuiu Can. hibals. They are the stfangest as. sertment of players ever shown in town. They do not wear the shirts ef their baseball suits, for pants they wear grass skirts and on ae. count Of the very bushy hair they possess they are unable to get hats to fit them 50 they wear none, Shoes hurt their feet and they dis. card them also,
 No matter how they may be rigged out for the encounter though they sure can play ball as their last year and this years record will show, IL is an impressive one of lie wins in i34 starts and there is no major league club that can equal that record,
 There Is 6 great expense incurred In bringing this attraction to town so that officers of the City Ana. teur league will have to charge the very nominal price Of 2b cents for these two games, which k the low est price ever asked for any games that either Of these teams have ap. peared in.

HORSEBACK CLASS
 TO START MONDAY
Maiden Apprentices to Re- turn to Narragensett
 School Next Week

Maiden apprentices will return to school at Narragansett park when Waiter E. o'Hara's "horsebacking college resumes itS sessions at the summer season which gets underway next Monday afternoon. More than 90 youngsters registered for the sensationaliy successful spring classes and several, notably Freddy gchieh, Andy Clutter and Douglas West, graduated with highest hon- oFs. gchieh now ranks aS one Of the best young riders in the New Eng. land sector, Clutter was z BeflBa. tion at Agawafn, while Vests work has etched him to duty at Saratoga whore he b riding for his contract employer. George Phillips.
 The rules Of the "college" have been revised to increase interest among both horsemen and riders, During the spring two sets of races were regularly scheduled for mem. bers of the jockey school, one for maiden jockeys and the other for iaon.winnefs of five races.
 This summer there will again be two sets Of races, with conditions slightly different. Jockeys who have not ridden three winners will Dc given an opportunity over 6 sprint route while the second division, over . distance of ground, B restricted to boys who have not ridden ten winners.
 The change in conditions is cx. pected to materially increase the size of the classes. Yuong riders will enroll on Monday, with the first class to be conducted that same evening under the supervision Of Steward Tom Thorp, Starter Bob Tfend, Racing Secretary Pat Hor- gan, Jockey Room Custodian Bill owen and some Of the most suc- cessfui veterans Of the riding coiony.
 Students of the "horse backing college" will get their first test un. der fire next Wednesday, on which dAy the condition book calls for c six fiiglong race for three year olds and upward "to be ridden by ape pFenticeg who have not ridden three winners" It may, perhaps, launch another sande into the rae. ing picture.

BIG BAY COLT GIVEN DAY OF
 REST BY RAIN
InCIement Weather Today May Pare Down Crowd to
 Far Less Than 10000

 Goshen, N. Y, Aug. ia.-(UP)-- Threat of another postponement hovsred over wiil Canes good time mile track today assi2 of the na. tlon's fastest three-year olds await ed for clear weather and the eao,- 900 Hambletonian trotting classic.
 The weather forecast was possible showers of the same variety that washed out the l2th running of the Hambletonian and It's three sup. porting races yesterday.
 The dark clay track was c strip of mud. The rules of the Hamble- tonian society, sponsors of the stake, provide that the classic can be run off only on agood track and in dc. cent weather.
 Meanwhile that big bay colt, Dc. sota--owned by Boston's wrestling impresarlo, Paul Bowser--probahly will be an odds-on favorite ct post time, 8 p. ya., (EST). Yesterday he was Q 6-b favorite, but because of the additional day of rest his price was expected to be hammered down to about 4-6 in today's late pools.
 De eota was the natural favorite, having beaten most of the three other colts and eight fillies in his last races And luck of the draw gave him the favored pole position In the first heat in race compris- Ing the best two of three heats. Bookies and veteran sulkymen be- lieve the day Of leisure will enhance hA chancs more than the others because h 10 said to respond better to reasonable rest. Dc eota's last competition was on August when he won the American stake at Agawan, Mass.
 Race officials feared that uneer. tain weather may pare down today's crowd to far less than the record 40,000 expected. When the postpone Enent was announced yesterday nearly 10000 were in the rambling green stands or sheltered In the various refreshTnnt and wagring tents that give the classic c county fair appearance.
 Most Of the visitors who came for the Hambletonian remained in Goshen for the night. Hotels and private dwellings were pammed and rooms were At . premium.
 A. N. Reynolds schnapps and William strang's Twilight Song were rivals for second choice in the overnight betting, both being quoted at s.i. Likewise two representatives of the Hanover Shoe farm came next at 0.i, Alice Hanover and Shirley Hanover. The other prices were:
