one operated by Davis E Hamilton

from the curb.
The Bomber was expected to turn

Jack Blackburn, his canny trainer,
but have not been so impressive to

He has been popped frequently with

 TO MEET AGAIN

Master Lad and Bubble some Race as Rivals for
 Third Time Tomorrow

Springfield, June II - The most discussed battle of horse-fiesh in the history of Agawam Park will take place Saturday afternoon when w. Elder JohnsonS Master Lad and Steve PanarellaS Bubblesomc meet in the Wayside, mile and seventy yard race which will feature the program.
 They have fought it out twice since the meeting opened. On open ing day, Bublesome won the Aga wam Handicap, six furlongs event and beat Master Lad by length and a half. They did 1t all over again in a mile event on Memorial Day, and then Master Lad turned the tables and won by length after one of the most uproarious stretch duels ever seen in those parts.
 And now they arc to hook up for the third time, this time over the mile and seventy yard route. Once again Master Lad will carry top weight of l17 pounds, while Bubble some has been assigned Ill by rac- ing Secretary M. c. "Ty" Shea.
 The race will bring together once again Bert Winner on Bubblesome and Charlie Rosengarten on Master Lad. Winner is cool, capable vet eran,. while Rosengarten is one oi the flashiest riders in the game. He won the Belmont Handicap a few weeks ago on Aneroid and yesterday he rode two winners and second on three mounts.
 In The Picture
 Horace Wade,s Up and Up, too has come galloping up to make fuss about the distribution of the purse. Racing Secretary Shea likes his chances so well that he has been assigned ll3 pounds, four less than Master Lad and two more than Bubblesome.
 There are seven nominations fo1 the event, and every one of them is expected to parade to the post. The list of entrants, with their weights follow:
 Master Lad IT; Up and Up, ll3; Bubblesome, III; CaScapedla, llOi Prince Fox, 104; Strategist II, 100; and Unheralded, 100.
 It looks like a great party, fol thoroughbreds like Prince Fox anC Cascppedia have more than a for lorn hope. and the lightwcights oi the group-strategist II and Un. heralded-figure to offer stout con. tention.
 It is expected that record crowc will be in attendance. judging b. the sale of box seats and reserved seats,

That Crosby will have no picnic trying to even the count is foregone conclusion for the Wilby outfit is not only hitting well but is getting better than fair pitching from Shaw and Fahy, the former having beaten Crosby al- ready and probably getting another chance tomorrow from Coach Jimmy Lee.
 The game set for Hamilton park at 2:30 o'clock, figures to attract an exceptionally large crowd, weath- CT permitting. The game will wind up the season for both teams.
 Nice Work
 Starting fast and scoring often, Wilby high schools baseball squad got in neat workout for the big game with Crosby on Saturday by trimming Hamden high 5 to yes- terday in a five-inning game that was cut short by heavy rain. Five runs in five innings was the Wilby tally, all of the damage being done in the first two innings, Hamden scoring one run right off the bat, but Wilby came back with two and then three more in the next inning. Devino and Ray, with McGrath hitting triple were the heavy hit ters while Francis Fahy pitched well, giving six hits but flaming eight Hamden batters. Summary:
