Torrington Pros And Litchfield
 Playoff Sunday
BY ROBERT L. PALMER

Torrington's baseball-minded will be in for another special treat this Sunday afternoon when the home town Pros and the invading Litch- field Cowboys clash for the second successive Sabbath in the Naugatuck Valley League playoff series.
 Litchf1eld and Torrington have al- ways been sort of looked on as the two hottest baseball towns in west ern Connecticut and the Parlortown. fans proved their worth last Sunday. Now it is up to the New City base ball bugs to support their team.
 The Cowboys jumped on Joey Jay last week for an early lead which was never relinquished and woud up with 6-2 win behind Hartford's Pete Kapura's who held the Torring- ton batters to six scattered blows.
 Repors say that Gus Broberg, Ray Holden, Billy Hoysdrat and Andy Pavilovic and company have sharp ened their batting eyes for the con- ing clash and Litchfield pitchers better beware. But only time will tell and Litchfield has three pretty good pitchers in Kapura, Ralph Gatti and Tello Comprini with Gatti as the likely starter.
 A win for the visitors will give them the league crown while on the other hand a victory for Torrington will force the series into a third and deciding contest and give the New Cityites another chance to cop their second successive valley loop title.

Chicago Bears
 Top Collegians As White Stars

Providence, R. l., Sept. 2-(UP) The best the college boys can do this season is finish all even with the professional brand of football.
 The professionals have won two of the 1888 "All-Star" games and the Collegians one. The last game is next week in New York between the New York Giants and the East ern All Stars.
 The Chicago Bears, winners Of the National League title three times, sent their type of game out in front with a 26-14 victory over the Eastern All Stars last night before a crowd of 10000 in Brown Stadium.
 The Pros had forged ahead on Aug. "A when the Philadelphia Ea- gles defeated the Pennsylvania All- Stars l4-7. The college boys evened it up Wednesday in Chicago with a 28-l6 victory over the Washington Redskins, league champions.
 The Bears rolled up 26 points in the first half last night and then their attack stalled as Byron (Whizzer) White led the All-Stars to pair fo last period touchdowns.
 White, who played with the Col legians in Chicago and didn't do so good, flew into Providence yester- day and put on a sparkling show last night.
 Nice Work
 The Bears power was too much for the Collegians in the first half as Bert Johnson scored from the four yard line and Bill Karr took 40-ypard pass from Bernie Mas terson and ran 20 yards to score in the first period.
 In the second period, Reino Nori scored on 8 quarterback sneak from the 12-yard line and Ray Buivid, former Marquette star, heaved 45-yard pass to Charles Apolski who caught the ball in the end zone. Jack Manders and George Corbett each kicked an ex- tra point and it looked like cur ldllio 1OA bAlC SOl1CSldllos
 White entered the game late ip the second quarter and by the third quarter he was rolling on high. Starting on their own ten. the Collegians smashed down to the Bears three as the quarter ended. Then White scored on the first play of the next period.
 A few minutes later, the AL Stars, with White passing and run ming, capitalized on an exchange of kicks and moved up to the Chica- go l2. There, Bill Anderson of h. diana pitched a pass to Ed Ber- linski of North Carolina State who caught the ball in the end zone. Ray Sonnenberg of Marquette and Charles O'Reilly of Notre Dame ac- counted fo rthe extra point.
 In the two periods he played. White gained 60 yards in II tries and completed three of six passss for 32 yards.

Sarazen Suggests Hagen
 As Gear" Of GOlfdOm

officials respect and whose fairness, Judgment and honesty would be above question. Supch a man as Walter Hagen would be superb for the job"
 Gene, who won the national open twice, the P. G. A. title three times and the British open once, said the only two men who ever made real money out of professional golf were Bobby Jones and Hagen.
 Bobby made at least a half-mil- lion and steady income of $40,00O year out of the by-products ot golf: writing, radio, moving pictures and promotion" Sarazen wrote. Hagen made a million but today is cheerfully broke. No one else ever made more than fair living at golf"
 Chicks Feed
 He pointed out that total prize money of the nations three blue ribbon events-national metropoli- tan and western opens-was only $11,50O and that a golfer winning all three would win the magnificent sum of $2,400" which would net him about $1,000 after paying all ex- penses of travelling to and playing in the tournaments Triumphing in these three is feat comparable to a pitching hurling three successive nc-hit games" he said.
 Prize money in all important tournaments should be made to con- form with the importance of the event. Our national open is actually the worlds championship of golf. Why isn't first prize $20,0O0 instead of $1,000; why isn't there a sub- stantial prize offered for the vest ern open, the Metropolitan open, the P. G. A.? It takes great cham pion to win any of these. Where would the money come from?
 Sarazen admitted that it could net come from gate receipts because no course is big enough to accommo- date more htan the crowds who now flock to see the important tourna- ments, but he suggested that the golfers of America would be glad to subscribe to a prize money fund.
 Suppose each of the 100000 golfers in this country were to be taxed 10 cents a year and that money put into fund for tourna- ment purses" he said. That would amount to $4O0o00 year. That fund could be earmarked, put in charge of a golfing czar and his committee and used as prize money Event the caddies would be glad to give dime year."
 Sarazen charged that today pro fessional golfer is allowed to ex- press his individuality only in drives and puts. Otherwise he must meekly take orders and we're all about fed up with it."

Trojans Take
 Grid Dodgers \ By 13-O Count
Especial to The Democrat)

Danbury, Sept. 2-Beattie Feath- CTS and the Brooklyn Dodgers were like feathers in a breeze last eve- ming at Lee Field where Jack Thompson's Trojans opened their 1888 campaign with a 13-0 victory over the major leaguers in a list less tilt which disappointed a crowd far below the expected attendance.
 The Trojans failed to make a first down in the first half which ended in a scoreless tie and made but one in the third period which also ended in a scoreless deadlock Then with five minutes of play re- maining the Trojans scored when Fritz Patela plunged over from the half-yard mark after the locals brought the ball from midfield to within the six point stripe on a srs- tained drive intermingled by plung- es and spot passes.
 Wild Scramble
 Red Negris conversion was wide Ol the goal posts. The lroJanS ap- peared in hot water in the next three minutes when the Dodgers, with Joe Maniaci doing most of the plunging, brought the ball to the Trojans l5-yard mark with two minutes to play and first down ahead. A pass from center on the first play found no receiver and in wild scramble for the free ball. Bob Tarrant, elongated end, picked up the pigskin and raced 60 yards for touchdown. Negri converted

HubbeH Through!!

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. o. (UP)-Fans along Main street and down Beale, where he is as much a hero as is Cab Callo- way, said today that Memphis Bill Terry had a good reason to concede the National League pennant to the Pirates-'Mis- cries" in the great left arm of Carl Hubbell, the Giants meal ticket" moundsman.
 Down from the hospital where Carl sits discos0lately with his money" arm in splints, came word that he would not pitch again this season. Dr. Spencer Speed, who removed 8 clipped bone from his elbow 10 days ago, said that in all probability he would be an effective hurler next season, not before.
 Speed said his patient might leave the hospital in a week or ten days but that his arm would have to be expertly treated for many weeks before he could again cut loose with his famed screw ball.

BOROUGH GEMS
 BOOK DANbURY,
 BRISTOL TEAMS
State Goes Only for Strong Borough Combine; Sea-
 son Opens Sept. Is

The Naugatuck Gems after sev- eral weeks of practice, are slowly rounding into shape for the tough schedule that will confront them during the fall campaign. Present plans call for the opening game to take place on the 18th of Septem- Der against a strong state foe.
 The management in its efforts to book only state clubs has already closed with the managers of Bris- tol, Danbury, Stratford, Walling- ford and New London for home and home games. The first Bristol en- counter is tentatively booked for October 16 in Bristol, with the Bell City outfit playing here early in November.
 Jackie Thompson, manager and coach of the Danbury Trojans is anxious to show his team in the borough as 1t will be his clubs first visit here. Although Oanbury is a member of the American Associa- tion, Thompson feels that his draw ing games will be those against Naugatuck and Bristol. The Strat- ford club has been booked for a pair of contests, with the dates set for the 9th and the 23rd of October. The downstaters are going in for big-time competition this season and they open their home season against the Bristol club the latter part of this month.
 Naugatuck fans will welcome the news of this state schedule as last year, the Gems played only the Bristol club and had to be satisfied with only one game with them. This year, with a strictly state cam paign, the Gems should be strong contenders for the championship.

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Sept. 9. (UP)-Gene Sarazen, who has begun to find farming more profitable than golf ing, today called for "czar" to en- able professional golfers to make a decent living.
 Walter Hagen is Sarazen's choice for the job.
 Sarazen decried the small purses that are making more and more professionals stay at home and go about their business of teaching in- stead of competing in the more prominent tournaments. His yelp against the system that makes a professional golfers mere puppet" was printed in this weeks issue of Golfers.
 We should have golfing czar just as baseball does," Sarazen said. If ballplayer has been pushed around he can always get an audi ence with Judge Landis. We should have some man in supreme charge of golf whom both players and club
