TRIbUNES AND
 THOMAS CLUB
 TEAMS ON EDGE
City League Rivals Have 16 Pitchers Listed;
 Drills Tonight

For the next two days and right up to game time Sunday, there will be considerable doubt as to which pitcher will take the mound for which team, irlasmuch as no less than IS curve-ballers have been made available for the payoff game, Il by the Tribunes and by the North End Thomas club. The im- portance of getting off to good start via the pitching department, is fully realized by the rival boards of strategy, the opposing team handlers, Harry Melvin of the Trib- unes and Johnny DeVito of the Tommies, which is why there are more huddles in the north end and on lower Baldwin street than one could look at in season of foot ball play.
 Pitchers Galore
 Reports are flying thick and fast. One minute you hear Irving Segal, classy Hartford right-hander will oppose the Tommies standout Joe Strokalaitis, who seems to be very effective when "the chips are down" Next news has 1t that Art Haas, q New Britain southpaW of promin- ence will first show on the hill for the Tommies against Gerry Smith, q Hardware City Teachers College star who looked particularly good during the first three weeks of league play. Then there is the long Ia nI TnhnVu I.h- lonoWski for the Tribunes, not to mention Andrews of the Thomas club, who pitched hitless ball for six innings last Sunday in behalf of the Thomas club and Beans" Mu- lesky who gave the Hills five hits in winning for the Tribunes.
 Like "Str0ke"
 North End grapevine and con- Sensus is said to favor starting Stro- kalaitis, though Joe has been got- ten to occasionally in rather handy fashion though Berg may get the call at the proverbial eleventh hour" but Melvin's selection seems to lie between Segal and Smith at this writing.
 Ready to Go
 Preparations for the biggest crowd of the season have been made with announcement that only one gate will be opened and donation of 25 cents & head expected from the fans who surround the No. dia- mond prior to the start of the game scheduled for 3:30 p. m. Wally Berg and "Yama' Bradshaw may see action as Thomas club battery before the game is over while very few changes are expected in other positions on either team. Considerable money is expected to be wagered on the result with the Tribunes ruling slight favorite because of their ef- fort in winning 10 of Il games to date.
 Both Tommies and Tribunes will keep themselves on edge tonight with workouts carded for the same field at the same time, 5:30 D. m, at Hamilton park. A win for the Tribunes Sunday means the clubs first city championship. A win for the Thomas club means a playoff game for the title, with the north enders won last season under the guidance of the gent who is doing the master -minding for the Tri- bunes, Hairbredth Harry Melvin. The game takes it's place as among the most colorful of sports rivalries during recent years.

Starting Pitchers Cause Baseball WrangIes
Today's Sport Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent

Flower swirls about his head instead of the strong liniment he loves 50 well.
 Strange Eutn
 But the pay-oh would come, I be- lieve, when he took a look at the goings-on. For man who went for the Berlenbachs and the SharkeyS, the Firpos and the Dempseys blast ing one another to bits with iron fists; for man whose ears knew no sweeter music than the call of the fistic wild-"kill 'em, kid, kill i'm, kidi"-girls' softball is scarcely adequate.
 Not that girls softball isn't pretty rough, mind you. Why only the other night, when the Roverettes were playing a very important CD series, Roverette batter had her marcel brutally bashed by a fast ball, and when the umpire called a third strike on another Roverette she gave him a glance that said better than words: "One more deci- sion like that and I'll slap your wrists into a pulp" And in another game one of the girls was suspended fifteen minutes and forbidden to use her mirror lipstick for going into third base with her crimson finger nails high.
 Girls softball has its own Geh- rigs and Greenbergs and Hubbels. The star of the Roverette team, which is sponsored by the garden, Is Mary Ontek. Softball critics say Mary, an outfielder, hasn't a weak ness. At the plate there is no fool ing her. She can hit anything. Throw her 6 soft one, and she'll cut 1t on the bias and knock the hem stitches of the ball. Throw her 8 fast one, girdle high, and she'll do to 1t what Maggie does to J1ggs with her rolling pin. Mary Is hit ting .686 and has scored more than there are stockings in gross. StandOut
 The Montreal Maroons. cham pions of Quebec. are here for a series with the Roverettes, and their star is Dolly Moore, catcher. One softball veteran, who has seen girl softball stars come and go for nigh on to four years, says Dolly Is the greatest backstop the game has pro- duced.
 Better than Gabby Hartnctt ever was, and heluva sight pretticr," is the way he puts 1t. You might as well try and pick J. Edgar Hoovcr's pocket as to try and steal on Dolly"
 The opening of a girls softball game at the Garden is very remind- full of refined burlesque strip tease act. The girls come in wearing blaz- CTS and long, loose pants. Then, with the lights properly adjusted, they peel these off and-presto-there they stand, lovely in shimmering satin shorts and shirts. It offers 6 much more inspiring sight than do the Yankees or Giants when they dash from the dugouts onto the field. To me, anyway. Of course. l may be prejudiced.

Marathon Golfer
 Plays for $2,5OO And Plantation

Chicago, Aug. - UP) - A young business executive rubbed the sleep out of his eyes early today and started a golf marathon of IA holes for a side bet of $2,500 and share in an old Virginia plantation valued at $30,000.
 J. Smith Ferrebe, 3l, who already owns half the plantation and wants the rest, began his strange game over the number four course al Olympia Fields Country Club and planned to play all four courses twice before dark.
 He bet his partner in the planta- ton. Fred Tuerk, th@t he could play IA holes, each round under 95. It's their way of dLssolving partnership they couldn't dissolve any other way.
 AS he teed off, Ferrebe worried more about the "95 clause" than his ability to go the distance.
 Confident?
 There's no telling what will hap pen to my score once get tired" he said But agreed to do 1t and l sure will"
 Fcrrebe said he never had played more than 90 holes in one day, but he wasn't worried about IA.
 He took with him physician, scorer and three caddies. The cad dies will work in sits each 36 holes. He didn't know what to do about re- lief for the physician and scorer.
 The plantation, located at Prin ccss Anne, Va, was purchased by the two four years ago. They want to end their partnership but could n't agree on which one should sell to the other.

RECORD CROWD
 SEES TURCOTTE STOP ABLE FOE
Chris Halted-CiarlO and Casey Injured = Hayes
 Fails to Show

With Irish Johnny Hayes report cd i'll, Waterbury's state lightweight champion, Tommy Ciarlo got a double dose of hard luck as close to 5000 fight fans looked on last night, comprising the largest local crowd that has attended a fight card for years. Because of Hayes absence, Ciarlo lost a chance to get himself even with the Bridgeport lightweight star, but more import ant, suffered a slashed eyelid which will lay him up for at least ten days. His opponent Pat Casey of Hartford also suffered the same fate when the boys bumped heads, the bout rating mo contest" verdict by Referee Joe Currie of New Ha- ven.
 Dick Turcotte,. the fighting Frcnchman was handed Ttartar in black Johnny Chris of Brooklyn, N. Y, who can switch from right to left handed leads at a moments time, but the local lad came through with flying colors, stopped Chris with three solid body smashes in the second round. Short as 1t was, Turcotte was given strong opposi- ton for while, which will keep him on edge for his return go wit Danny Houlian next week. First five rows ringside are reported al- ready sold. Last nights show set up a new financial record locally when 2,693 paid their way in. Even more seats will be available next week.
 Pazden Stopped
 Jackie Pazden's comeback efforts were halted abruptly when he was caught by Red Moffetts payof punch in the third round after hav- ing the devastating Devon redhead on the floor earlier in the bout. Irish Billy Taylor got the nod over Nick Tarello of Hartford which WAS disliked by some of the patrons in three rounds of slam-banging, while Johnny Devore won te decision over Joey Marcus in another leather leather thriller.
 Fast Finish
 Billy Perron, 147, Bristol, fought sensational last round, and his effort caught the attention of Ref cree Currie who gave him a draw in is meeting with clever Eddie Sampson, 147, Brooklyn, N. Y. but Perron was pretty fortunate. Sampson was ahead going into the last round, easily taking the first two rounds.
 Joe Polowitzer, 130, Windsor Locks, and game Jackie Williams. 132, Brooklyn. N. Y, fought another torrid scrap. Williams surviving two knockdowns with the aid of the bill in the first round to swap plenty of leather the rest of the way. Polowitzcr earned the de- cision but Joe took considerable punishment particularly when Jack connected with his wild right.
 Bobby Thomas, 148, Shelton, survived a couple of nine-count knockdowns in the first and sec- ond rounds, and then dropped Jack Johnson, 152, Windsor Locks, in the second round of their up and down battle, Johnson went down twice before the final toll.
 Jackie Pcrron, l30, Bristol, and Ken Kelly, l32. Bridgeport, fought a draw. The action was fast all the way, and both continued firing leather when the last bell sound- cd.
 In the opener. Billy Higgins, l30, Shelton. defeated Han Wag- ner, 129, Waterbury, in novice bout.
 It was truly a great show, a great crowd and great night for action. And, best of all, there's an- other fine shok on tap next week.

ARMSTRONG IN MOONLIGHT BOUT
New After Dark Training Improves FOOtwOrk of
 Double Champ

Pompton Lakes, N. J., August S. (UP) - Henry Armstrong, who knocked out 36 of his last 38 oppo- nents en route to the world feather and welter weight boxing titles, was training today for 15-round decis- ion victory in his fight with light weight champion Lou Ambers next Wednesday night.
 I've been worried sick about this fight" said Armstrong's manager, Eddie Mead. "Ambers is without a doubt the toughest and fastest boy Henry has had to tanglc with yet, and he couldn't seem to do anything right in his early training sessions. It looks like everything Is going to be all right now. He is not train ing for quick knockout, because he knows that nobody is bclting out the rugged Ambers in a hurry"
 To improve his footwork for this lightweight title scrap at the Polo Grounds, Armstrong has been em- ploying the unorthodox method of pantomine boxing in the moonlight against speedy Lou Fcldman, of New York. Mead says this is the first time any modern challenger ever trained after dark-at boxing.
 He's been doing 1t for more than week now" Mead said. We had to do something because his foot work was so sluggish. Feldman, who Jumps around a lot like Ambers was making Henry miss a mile in the daylight rounds. Sometimes my boy almost plunged through the ropes Although no blows are struck, these three rounds every evening have im- proved Henry's footwork more than a hundred per cent. He has learned to pursue Lew on a zig-zag course, crowding and riding him all over the ring"
