AMERICA AT WAR DAY-bY-DA1
20 Years Ago Today-The Kaiser
was at the eastern front, to watch the
rout of the Russian, and he saw his
troops capture Stanislau and Mad
vorno.
Any hope of short war for the U.
S. was dismissed in Washington as
the extent of the Russian debacle be-
came plain. The word from France
was that the Allies would need g.
100000 men from the U. S. immedi-
, ately
That day more American troops
! landed overseas, in England. In
France, instruction of U. S. combat
forces in digging trenches and laying
! barbed wire entanglements began en-
masse.

MAPLE LEAFS TO
 PLAY POND ACES

The St. Ann's Maple Leafs will meet the Pond Aces Saturday after noon at Washington park to decide the junior championship of the south end. AS both teams have clubs neighboring one another there is the greatest rivalry between them. The Leafs are in the Rec reation league where they are tied for third place, while the Aces have been playing independent ball.
 Arrangements were made last night between the two managers that a two out of three series will be played with tn winner being the sole holder of the south end base ball championship.
 At this time Joe Garvey of the Leafs claims that the Aces are go- ing out of the district to obtain ployers. The agreement being players, the agreemeet being that all players must reside in the south end.
 Red" Quilter, Washington Hill athlete, has been chosen to umpire the game, which will get under way at 2 o'clock. Supporters of both teams have been asking for this game for weeks, while the Aces are out looking for ringers" with whom they expect to defeat the Frenchies, Manager Garvey insists.

Budge Future Plans Worry Tennis World
TurcOtte AndP POlOWitzer
 To Clash Tomorrow
Tickets Selling Fast for Amateur Boxing Show at
 Local Field-Tucker vs. Harris

Waterbury holds top honors in the feature bout of the evening, Tommy Ciarlo, and Joe Greiner hav- ing been booked for the headline attraction. Ciarlo has moved through his last ten fights without loss and is highly confident that he will be able to continue the string. On the other hand, however, Greiner is equally confident of vic- tory and goes bit further that he has his guns pointed for @ knock out.
 Greiner has reach and height on the Italian glover, but the latter makes up for his few shortcomings with tremendous punching power. His ability as a sock artist was clearly demonstrated in his appear ance at Savin Rock last week when he hung a sleeper on Joe Rossi, of Naugatuck.
 Second to the Greiner- Ciarlo hookup will be the one between Irish Mickey Donahue, sensational Stamford mixer, and Frankie Buff, another of Waterbury's contribu- tions to the squared circle.
 This lineup Is somewhat of sur- prise to the state amateur boxing fans, for, they expected to see the two boys clash in the near future on one of Dick Gray's programs at Saving Rock. However, sensing a natural, Dance and Kelley stepped in ahead of the New Haven pro- moter and signed the boys. The bout should produce more fistic fire- works than have been seen here in some time.
 Buff is in top form for the bout and is certain that he will be able to show to an advantage over the Stamford worthy. He, however, will not have everything to his own liking for Donahue, too, has been making plans for the bout and has his own ideas on the outcome. In any event, the fans are in for a real treat.
 Another good bout in prospect will have as its principals, Dick Tur- cotte, another of the local favorites, and Joe Polowitzer. It will mark Turcotte's first engagement here and fans are looking forward to wit messing the Frenchman in action who has been rated as one of the best in his class in Connecticut. Polowitzer, @ Windsor Locks res- ident, Is also one of the states lead- ing mitt singers and should be able to test to Waterbury boy in his ef- fort here.
 The state flyweight hcampion, Sal (Midge) Renault, of New Haven, will also have place on the card. He will go against Baby Dixon, Wa terbury Negro. Renault holds a couple of wins over Jimmy McBur- nie, of Torrington, state bantam weight titleholder. Dixon only re- gently returned to this city after having made his home in New York for some time.
 Tommy Tucker, Waterbury feath- erweight, meets Chick Harris, New Britain; and Sammy Mammone, Italian favorite from Stamford, meets stiff opposition against Joey Marcus, Windsor Locks tobacco picker.
 A checkup by the officials of the Waterbury Athletic Club last night showed that over 800 ringside tick cts have beer sold in advance for the show which indications point toward large crowd being on hand to witness the initial presentation.
 Fans can secured choice ringside tickets at Mulligan's Restaurant, Phoenix Avenue, in advance.
