TORR|NCT0N TO
 PLAY CHAMPS; PROTEST DENIED
Committee Hears Both Umpires-Mulville to
 Head Drive?
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Exhibition games, starting Sunday at Hamilton Park, and including one game under lights against the Torrington Pros, an outstanding state baseball competitor this sea- son, were taking up the time of President Ray Tram of the City Amateur league, following denial of the protest filed by the North End Thomas club relative to the 6-2 vic- tory in the championship game August 14 by the Tribune A. c. A protest committee consisting Of four league officers and Joseph F. Connor, well-known former profes- sional baseball player, and brother of the nationfally famous Roger Connor, went into an executive ses- sion of closed huddle' last evening at the Genlot Recreation rooms on East Main street, and came up with a decision in favor of the Tribune A. c. about an hour later.
 Umps Talked
 Umpire in Chief Bill Stanton and Field Umpire Ieno Costaldo were the only persons to testify before the committee, as far as could be learned. Costaldo insisted he should not have given Outfielder Tommy Sipples of the Tribunes two base: on fair hit into tree in right field, while Umpire Stanton would not change his opinion in the least, that the ball hit the tre, and under the official baseball rules, the batter is entitled to two bases on any dia- mond in the country, ground rules to the contrary notwithstanding for Rule 65 under the heading. "Ground Rules" states that special ground rules may be made, if necessary, PROVIDED THEY DO NOT CON- FLICT WITH THESE RULES, and are acceptable to the manager or captain of the visiting team" Mulville Asked
 Jubilation was rampant around Tribune A. c. headquarters last evening and this morning President James Sheehan and his aides were busy formulating an "On to Pitts burg" committee which will help raise the necessary money to send the Tribes to the national amateur tournament in the Smoky City on September 10. Joseph F. Mulville, former Catholic University baseball standout, well-known and popular business man was to be asked to- day if he would head the Pittsburg campaign committee.
 Moran Offers Aid
 Bob Moran, popular west ender and former baseball pitcher in the old Connecticut league has organ ized an All-Waterbury team which he offers for play at Hamilton Park against the Tribunes, receipts to go to the Pittsburg fund. Moran has lined up Johnny Driscoll, catcher Charley Keeley and Pinky Woods. pitchers; Ray O'Toole. first base Bobby CEeatorex, second base; Larry Mullen, shortstop (also Trib- une shortstop); Ray Ahearn, third base; Bossy Harnick, Herb Colby and Jimmy Freyer. outfielders.

Slattery, Proud But Broke, <" Is Looking For Work

Washington, Aug. B - U.P) - Three unshaven, unkempt men stood before the desk sergeant in a Washington police court.
 One kept his lips grimly shut.
 What's your name?" the desk sergeant asked.
 Jimmy Slattery."
 He and two other men, seen drink ing in a public park, had been brought to the court by Park Police man Albert Kreuger.
 His name rang familiar to the ser geant. A Jimmy Slattery, he re- called, once fought Light-heavy- weight Champion Tommy Loughran to standstill and lost two close decisions to MaXie RoSenbloom for the same title. But that fellow wore $185 suits with a bankroll of several thousand dollars stuffed in the pockets.
 Slatteery admitted his identity but declined an offer of money. He also refused to telephone Jack Dempsey, here on business, for help which the officers insisted the former heavy weight champion would tender,
 Jimmy chose instead to stand up in a long line of drunks and petty thieves.
 Five dollars or five days" said the judge.
 A girl reporter stepped forward: Well, Jimmy, this is on the press. " Jimmy mumbled his thanks.
 I'm here looking for a job," he said, and just had to have drink when the policeman spotted me. I'm only 34 and healthy. There ought to be some way can make living"
 Then he shuffled off-his head high, hands thrust deep in shabby pockets.

'TURC0TTE AND H0UL|HAN WILL
 SHOW THURSDAY
Frenchman to Fight Shea lanotti vs. Davis,
 State Champ

A carefully seleced card of amat- teur fighters which includes Dick Turcotte and Danny Houlihan of Newark, but against different op- ponents this week, features a ten bout program set for Thursday night at Randolph-Clowes stadium, and promoted by the Waterbury A. c. Turcotte is paired up with Ray Shea, New Yorw lightweight, while Hou- lihan tangles with the rough and ready Pat Casey of Hartford, whose recent technical k. o. over Irish Johnny Hayes of Bridgeport has put him into the main bout class around Connecticut rings.
 Shea's class is unknown but he will have to be good to cope with the left-handed Turcotte whose win and loss to Houlihan provided Wat erburians with two of the best fights on record locally. Casey, a "bar- room" fighter, is sure to give the hard-hitting Houlihan plenty of trouble, as both boys are the same type of sulggers and should provide bout that will have few dull mo- ments.
 StandOut
 Joe Ianotti of New Haven and state bantam champ, Henry Davis of New Britain, the able little col- ored boy, looks like the "standout" on the card, and rates main bout listing, while the local fans will get quite presentation of class when they get peek at Danbury's Babe face Morris, who is matched with the southpaw slugger, obbBy Ellis of New Britain. Dula Kovach of Naugatuck and Hartford. Al Stew ems will put on heavyweight bout worthy of notice, while Tommy Tucker of this city and Joe Fraz- zetto of New Britain may open the show

 IN SHORTS

Memphis, Tenn. Aug. 23-UP)- The talented left arm of King Carl Hubbell, New York Giant ace was in splints today and physicians held out but slight hope that it would swing again this season for the fading National league cham- pions.
 Dr. Spencer Speed who removed a piece of ragged bone from Carls elbow yesterday, said he was get ting along fine but that 1t was too early to forecast his future as a pitcher. Only time will tell, he said.
 The arm must remain in splints for at least two or three weeks. Then it will have to undergo a long pe- riod of careful massaging. Late next month fans probably will know whether one of the games greatest left arms is through.
 Hollywood, Aug. 23.-UP)-
 Mysterious" John Montague, so- called Paul Bunyan of golf, came
 home today from a four month
 exhibition tour which convinced
 him that freak shots please a gaI- lery more than good golf does.
 Montague's transforming tour was terminated temporarily when his partner, George Won Elm, be- came i'll. It will be resumed when he recovers.
 Maybe not all galleries are dis satisfied with mere birdies," said
 Montague. But mine came to see me execute all the trick shots they've ever heard or read about. They don't seem to want good golf so much as spectacular golf"
 New York, Aug. 23.-(UP)-The field for the national open polo championships which start Sept. 4 at Meadow Brook, N. Y, was com- plete today with the arrival of Hasketh Hughes, British player. He will team with two countrymen- Gerald Bidding and Eric Tyrrell- Martin-and Winston Guest, an American, on the Jaguars Four.
 St. Louis, Aug. 23.-(UP)- Johnny (No Hit) Wander Nicer may be lost to the Cincinnati Reds for several weeks. He wis., tied a physician yesterday to have his aching ear examined. The physician advised him to take it easy and indicated it might be a couple of weeks before he can re- turn to action.
 New York, Aug. 23.-(UP)-The New York Yankees open the first of five consecutive double headers to- day and because they lead the American league by 12 games, they will lose about $50,O00 at the gate. Upwards of 175 fans could have been with the league lead at stake, but the Tanks could lose all 10 games and still hold the lead. The five double headers probably will draw no more than 100000.

WHITE SOx HURT. CLEVELAND BID FOR A. |. GROWN
Triple By Krecvich Beats Teller and Indians;
 Yanks l2 Up
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

Chicago, Aug. 23-UP)-The New York Yankees recipe for winning pennants can't be topped. They put the fear of Jehovah into their near est rivals and then wait until they commit suicide.
 The Tanks had an off day yester- day and enjoyed themselves. Cleve- land, a brave contender 8 month ago for the American League flag, had a chance to gain half 8 game but continued to be frightened by the job of being a contender against the world champions. The Indians took another slash at their own throat.
 hven Oscar Vitt's new program for Bob Teller on How to Pitch and Win" failed as the Indians col- lapsed before the sixth-place Chica- go White Sox. Little Mike Kreevich belted triple with the bases loaded in the seventh inning which enabled the White Sox to triumph, Az and increased the Tanks lead to 12 games. Johnny Whitehead out pitched Teller in the pinches to give the White Sox the edge in the Ave- game series.
 Pirates Win
 Pittsburgh, after their double laceration Sunday by the Cubs, bounced back to championship form and defeated Chicago, Az. Jim To- bin held the Cubs to five hits to tri- umph over Clay Bryant. Singles by Gus Suhr and Pep Young with the bases loaded in the seventh drove in three important runs. The tri- umph enabled the Pirates to in- crease their National League lead over the Giants to five and one half games. .-.
 Cincinnati regained third place by defeating the St. Louis Cardinals, 11-4. The Reds slammed four Card pitchers for IS hits, with Frank Mo- Cormick leading the attack with five bingles in six trips. Ernie Lom- bardi chimed in with four hits in five times at bat, including three doubles. Paul Derringer, although rapped for 10 hits, scored his 17th triumph, more than any other Ma tional League pitcher.
 No other games were played.
