WEST ENDS HERE FOR RETURN 60
 TOMORROW EVE
Segal, Hartford Star, Ex. pected to Pitch Against
 Thomas Club

President Edward Clark Fitzpat- rick of the City Amateur League, q veteran circus man with c genuine understanding of what is and is not an attraction and can sense the feeling of the public about as quick as you can say ''paskudniak" hes c tripie.timed baseball set-up for this week that, on paper is just what the doctor ordered to pep up any tagging interest in the great nation al pastime by the local descendants of MT. Ferdinand Fan.
 Second Sett0
 First of ell, there's c bang-up re- turn game featuring the city chaIn- pion North End Thomas club and Bristol West Ends scheduled for toe morrow night at Hamilton Park. The Tommies, still smarting from the ' to 3 setback handed them by the Bell City batters week or so ago, will be out for Q thorough re- versal of that decision, for another loss to the Bristol bunch would take of much of the prestige that the Tommies have throughout the city.
 And here's another nifty angle. Irving eegai, the Hartford hurler who beat the House of David for the Tommies with Q four hit per. formance, may be seen on the mound for Bristol against the local club who had hopes of securing him for the national tournament ct Dayton,
 But, here's the antidote to the eegai angle. Should Irving trot out on the mound in behalf of Bristol. the Tommies will counter with one Mr. Parsons of the New Britain CreTnos. . gent who can pitch . pel- lett through the eye of . needle to hear some tell 1t. All of which, if true should indicate c pitching duel that will have the fans on their feet early and often.
 Sunday Special
 Next Sunday. the Hotel Roosevelt team will come to town again to play their washed-out game of last week against the Thomas club and preliminary to that, Proxy Fitzpat- rick has arranged for c girls sOFT- BALL game that will feature the state champion c. Fox company girls of Hartford and the Terryville Tartars, winners of all their games this season. Mickey Fill of the .Sa- cred Hearts has Q sister who Is one of the Terryville stars who will be seen in action against the cham pions.

JACOBS HAVING HIS JOKE AS
 MAxIE MADDENS
Next Year Talk of Louis.' Schmeling Go Believed
 'Build.up' for Farr Go
By HENRY NteLEMoRE

United Press stan C0ffespOnuentl New York, Aug. 24-tUP) Resi- dents of Cauiifiower Alley. that crooked and shady little lane that is paved with the very worst of in. tentions, lifted their scared eye- brows today at the ofiicial an. nouncement that Joe Louis and Max schmeling will not fight until next year.
 Which is to say the residents of Caulifiower Alley do not believe that Promoter Michael Jacobs was telling the truth, the whole truth, or anything like tho truth yester. day when he declared that Joe and his only conquerer were Q year or 90 away from Q return bout.
 The pronounoement was inter. preted as an attempt to quicken the tagging seat sale of the worlds heavyweight championship go bo. tween Louis and Thomas Martin. dale Farr of Wales, which k sohed- uled for Yankee stadium Thursday night.
 Not So Good
 There was no denying that pro- moter Jacobs and his associates were 0 bit alarmed by the manner in which the customers have avoid. cd the box offiee. And there is no denying that the possibility of an October match between the oham- pion and the German has been partly responsible for tho reluet. aneo of the boys and girls to part with their money.
 Those with money enough for only one fight have been hoarding 1t until the better match was made.
 And one can't blame them. for c Louis.Farr fight cannot compare in appeal with 90 between Joe and the fellow who fiattened him c year ago last June. Tn spiking TO. ports of such . match Jacobs said that Louis would fight Farr and then catch c boat for Europe, there to wander carelessly about, enjoying the museums, and brushing up on history, suppose.
 l, for one, believe that Louis and Max have been signed, and will have it out early in October.
 The fight Thursday night is not going to be Q financial flop. All Jacobs needs to break even is $780,. 900, for the entire matter has been very economically conducted. There has been none Of tho lavish splash that has marked ell of Jacobs earlier major ventures. Expenses have been held to c minimum, and the scrap is almost certain to gross better than e230,0o0. Counting the e2b,000 paid for the radio rights, and the 2b,o00 fee for the movies, Jacobs has nearly sieo,0oo in the strong box today.
 Maybe
 Jacobs believes the thing will gross somewhere between e300,000 and e3b0,0o0. Mike has not forgot. ten the LouIs.D DchmeIing fight. It was blasted by the critics, and rufr hasn't looked any worse iii training than did Dchmelifig. Moreover, 1t wasn't Q title fight, afd there was c very active boycott campaign by the Jewish customer. TO cap it aii, rain drenched the arena on tlie original date of the fight, ai1d it had to Do eot back.
 Yet nothing happened except that when the boys climbed iii the ring the stadium was very well filled, and D43O,OOO were iil tho registers. JacobD had the ulsasurs Of saying

 Himini, Aug. 24.-diant blue mar lin and big bluehn tuna are fast making this narrow British isle, 66 miles from Miami of the Florida coast, one of the big game fishing spots of North America.
 Fishing and pleasure craft now ply in and out of the blue-green harbor in quest of those and other gamseters which cavort between Bimini and the neighboring island of Cat Gay where the water is $500 feet deep.
