ACAWAM JUMPING
 RACES TOMORROW

Springfield, June 2-The jumps are up and the jumpers are ready for the first steeple-chase event in the history of legal horse-racing in Massachusetts.
 Tomorrow afternoon, come 2:15, they will come up to a walking start and head for the brush jumps, the thrilling water jump, the dangerous Liverpool, and the most constructive step yet made by major track in New England will have been taken. The race has been christened The Brookside, to do honor to Phil Sch- wartz of Suffield, a friend of the track whose estate is known by that name, and will be a two-mile route.
 There will be 13 jumps, and it is expected that no less than eight tho- roughbreds will celebrate the im- portant event by taking part. Yes terday and this morning, they schooled over the tricky, treacherous jumps, and each and every trainer and jockey expressed complete sat- isfaction with both the course and tne oufOnt jumps.
 Jumps First
 The steeple-chase will be held as the first race on an eight-race pro- gram, and the daily double will be on the second and third races, un- less track officials make a late the most distinguished weekday switch in their plans. It will draw crowd in the history of any New England track, and the social lead CTS of this part of the world will turn out in full force for the event.
 The running of The Brookside will start a busy weekend for the picture postcard track. On Saturday, the Waterbury Handicap will be staged at a mile and seventy yards for a purse of 5000, with a second- ary feature at six furlongs which will bring out the best three year olds now in training. Brookmeade Stable and Col Phil T Chinn have some swelegant three year olds on the premises, and the race promises to be keenly contested.

AMATEUR FIGHTS CARDED TONIGHT AT LOCAL FIELD
New Workers Here For Third Time -TurcOtte,
 CiarlO, and Buff Go
(By Hugo Hookjab)

A sunny though cool day promises weather permissible enough this evening to finally allow the Water bury A. c. to stage its first outdoor boxing show of the season at the Randolph Cloves stadium at Bank and Meadow streets. From 8:30 p. m. on, ten amateur bouts will be pre- sented, the feature of the pairings being three New York vs Waterbury slambangoes in which some Golden Glove talent from the fringes of the Great White Way will tangle with our state champion, Tommy Ciarlo. our ex-state champion Dick Turcotte and our middleweight contender, Frankie Buff Turcotte will meet one Joe Johnson, a New Yorker in the main" bout, though the Ciarlo test against Dick Walsh of Manhattan and Bluffs battle with Eddie Rahm should rival the top bout every min- ute of the action.
 Promising
 In addition, some slick inner-city encounters have been lined up by Michael Angelo Dance including Ken Reinhart of Middlebury and John Moraz of Wolcott, which looks like knockdown- drag out affair from the first bell. Then Dula Ko- vach of Naugatuck and Kid Henry of Willimantic have a leather-push- ing party that should please one and all while Firpo Mccall of Bantam and New York's dusky Joe Palooka are down for three round tangle that ought to "be scandal to the jaybirds" as Snuffy Smith would say. Eddie Mays and excitable Emil Et- ters will also show their wares against opponents to be selected later in the day.
 All in all it's a swell boxing card "on paper" with nothing left undone and given good weather and 8 big crowd, a good time will be had by all, including the promoters who have been trying for three weeks to get under way, for the outdoor sea- son.

By ART KRENZ NEA Service Golf Writer

A faulty grip, stance or swing, is the direct cause of slicing. If the left hand is too far under the leather when it rights itself in the swing, 1t drags the clubhead across the ball, producing slice.
 An open stance tends to make one cut across the ball because it is only natural to swing parallel to the feet. Guard against the right elbow leaving the body. This is often the cause of the right hand taking control of the swing and cutting across the ball.
 Silcing too is caused by pressing or over er-anxiety to hit. This causes golfer to get the body into the shot before the clubhead has reached the ball. The hands are ex- tended and are late in whipping the clubhead through, causing one to hit the ball with the clubhead at a distinct angle. A slice can be the only result.

B HENRY McLEMORE
 United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, June 2-There's an un- written law in boxing that guaran- tees champion the right to keep fighting as long as his legs will hold him upright.
 It is now time for that unwritten bit of the pugilistic code to be voided by written one that will protect champion from his own courage, his own pride, and, if you will, his own vanity.
 Such law was badly needed in Madison Square garden bowl night before last when Barney Ross took savage, brutal-and unnecessary thrashing from Henry Armstrong for 15 rounds. Because Ross was de- lending his championship, and be- cause he had exacted promise from his handlers to let him see it through, no matter how rough the going, the fight wasn't stopped.
 After the seventh round it wasn' t fight, any more than a man back ing a boy into corner and beating him senseless, would be a fight Ross could see nothing from his right eye, and his left was partially closed. He had to grope for his tormentor, and when he found him he could only slap feebly at him. His legs were leaden, paralyzed by weari- ness, and during the rest between rounds he could not speak, so bruised and swollen were his lips.
 Yet round after round his hand lers-obeying the unwritten code hoisted him like dead thing off his stool and sent him out to face the barrage of fists laid down by the unfiagging challenger.
 The crowd yelled for Referee Arthur Donovan to stop it.
 Donovan, knowing that a man in Barney's condition might be serious ly injured, if not killed, by a punch, appealed to Ross handlers. They wanted to call it quits but remem- bered their promise. Donovan then spoke to General Phelan and Dr. William Walker of the boxing con- mission, but they stuck by the un- written code and said the champion could have the final word.
 So Barney hung on. He had sworn he would never be knocked out, never lose his title on the floor, and he kept his promise to himself.
 But he should not have beeen al- lowed to keep that trust. Certainly not after it became apparent that he did not have the slim chance of bringing up a knockout punch from the depths of his despair. Heads unclouded by thousand punches should have hurt the champions pride to protect something more important-his health.
 If the men who control boxing don't think enough of the boys who fight to pass law protecting them from unmerciful beatings, then they should pass it for their own selfish interests. Because a few fatal in- Juries to fighters while in the condi- ton Ross was in would threaten the life of the game.
 It is my opinion that Ross would have finished the fight in even worse condition that he did had not Arm strong, a thorough little sportsman, eased up in the final rounds. Even Henry, with the welterweight title in his grasp, did not relish bela- boring the pitiful target that Ross offered toward tbe close.

 CONSIDERED DIRT TRACK HECK FIRST TIME OUT
 He built his own car, and in 1884 was runner-up to Rex Mays for the West Coast championship.
 Roberts was considered a dirt track nick when he first came to Indianapolis in 1885, but with only IS laps of practice he averaged 117:683 for 25 miles in qualifying, and sat in the front row in the big race in which he finished fourth.
 Roberts never was worse than seventh in 1886, and was in third place when forced out of the 500 by lack of gas. The boys were limited to 37 1-2 gallos that trip.
 It was after that race that Louis Myer, the only three-time winner of the event, remarked: Well, gen. tlemen, I've won one race and an economy run. I'd like to come back and Wone one more race"
 Roberts, who is 38, averaged TYPO miles an hour in winning a new rec ord drove a plain job which he says he could have stepped up to 123 miles an houh had he needed to.
 The dirt track product virtually coasted to his glorious triumph over $50000 and $75,OO0 racing jobs.
 He'll be back next year with the same amount and new engine.

Floyd Marion Roberts, winner oi the Indianapolis 500-mile race, may rot be the greatest automobile rac- ing driver who ever climber into a tin lizzie, but nobody ever will out game the one time North Dakota farmer.
 It was only two years ago come July that a couple of cars ran con- pletely over the one in which Rob- erts was riding through a thick cloud of dust on a dirt track in Reading, Pa.
 They gave Roberts up for dead.
 The wreck cracked a vetebra in his back, broke leg and six ribs, among other things. Certainly, the round and ruddy-taced chap would never drive again.
 But Roberts walked out of the hos pital on crutches within two weeks and Schemed about greater things on the roaring road during the eight months which he convalesced.

 Roberts split $4O,OOO with Lou Moore, for whom he drove, in con- ing down in front on the Hoosier bricks. He hopes omake $1O0,0O0 one way or another before he is finished. There are endorsements, re- tainers from accessory companies, and such.
 But to get back to Roberts cour- age on the racing strips. Just pre- vious to the crack-up in Reading, rock broke his goggles and lodged glass in one eye early in a race at Roby Speedway. Chicago. It was under such a handicap that Rob- erts pushed Rex Mays to such an extent that the Indianapolis driver Tapped the field twice in 5O-mile race. They staged a blanket finish.

 While born and raised on farm, Roberts came into racing naturally. His father was a steam and gas en- gineer and inventor, and Floyd learned about engines as child.
 Floyd raced neighboring kids on bicycles as kid, and started to race motorcycles at North Dakota coun- try fairs at the age of 16.

 Notes
By ART BABE" BROOKS

By ARI "BABE BROOhS
 The results of Sundays games were as follows:
 Waterville 8, Bunker Hill 0. Sacraments 6, West Sides 2.
 Pond Aces 9, Fairmounts 0-for- felt.
 Waterville has the honor of SCOT ing the first shutout. Although it is rather early to tell anything, if the averages stay up where they are there will be plenty of 300 hitters. There are 20 of them at present: Bunker Hill has 2, West Sides 5, Sacraments and Waterville 6.
 Team leaders are: Waterville, Stevens and Bernacci, 500; Bunker Hills, Colitti 500; West Sides, Lackey 1000; Sacraments, Dutil 800.
 Earrings for Sundays games:
 Waterville vs. West Sides-Wash- ington park, o'clock. Umpire, Lat tanzio; scorer, Rourke.
 Pond Aces vs. Sacraments-W Wash ington park, o'clock. Umpire, Hughes; scorer, Poudson.
 Bunker Hill-bye.
 Bob Foster is having plenty of hard luck. He pitched good ball last Sunday, but his teammates were not set at the plate and as result they did not hit Mclean, Sacrament hurler.
 Umpire Lattanzio had busy day Sunday. At o'clock he umpired the Waterville-Bunker Hill game, then went out to Hamilton park for the Pond s-Fairmount tussle.
 Fairmounts have been dropped from the league.
 Waterville, Pond Aces and Sac raments are in first place, Bunker Hill is in second and the West Sides occupy the cellar.
 Some team could do well in pick ing up Jim Jannettys brother. I understand he is quite hitter.
 More notes next Thursday. See you at the Recreation league games.
