LIGHTWEIGHT RIVALS RESUME
 RING WARFARE
Frenchman Favored to Re. peat Last Win; JanOtti,
 Ellis to Show
BY HUGO HOOKJAB

Like the Hatfields and the Coys those fightin' mountain boys, Wa terbury's Dick Turcotte and New ark's Danny Houlihan will resume their ring warfare, which in two battles to date has produced six knockdowns and a decision for each of them. Tonight is the night, the Randolph Cloves stadium is the place and 8:30 is the time that the first of ten amateur bouts of three rounds each, get under way under the lights, with a sellout crowd lock- ing on.
 Last Fight?
 Unless draw results, or there is some untoward question to be set- tied when the Fighting Frenchman and the, Hammering Harp wind up their argument, it is probably the last time Danny and Dick will square off against each other. That's why a full-house is assured, for the local fans want to be "in on the kill" especially in view of the two previous hair-raising performances provided by both boys. Turcotte is the writer's selection to win the nod, after the hardest kind of a fight, with possibility of knockout resulting from either boy.
 Houlihan, sensing the importance of the bout and in the best of shape, after his warm-up with Pat Casey last week, arrived ip Water bury yesterday to secure proper rest before he steps into the ring for his do or die" fight tonight. Danny was taken in tow by Match maker Bobby Kelly who quartered him at the Elton tucker him into bed at 9:30 last night, walked out with his fingers crossed and at ? a. m. was looking into the sky for signs of the weather, which was reported cludy today but very much O. K. for this evening. Kelly and the Weather Man are real good friends.
 Worth While
 To back up the main go and get the customers on edge, Joe Ianotti, the New Haven lad who easily best ed the state bantam champ, Henry Davis last week meets up with Jackie Crimmins; Mickey Williams of New Haven meets Joey Marcus of Windsor Locks, Tommy Tucker will tangle with Joe Frazzetit of New Britain, and Dulva Koavach of Naugatuck meets his heavyweight rival, Vic Galotti of New Britain for at least the third time. Joe Po- lowitzer of Windsor Locks is due to box Joe Rossi of Naugatuck while Bobby Ellis of New Britain who stopped Baby Face Morris of Danbury last week is scheduled to meet a stablemate of Houlihan's, who may give him quite an argu- ment.
 All in all, the card is a corker and should be free of duh moments from start to finish. On paper, it's the real McCoy-lock, stock and barrel.

BEARS CLAW AT
 WHITE TONIGHT

Providence, R, l., Sept. 1-(UP)-- Byron (Whizzer) White, Colorado's $ touted triple threat, faces his second professional football testing tonight in the Chicago-Bears-C College All Stars game Cor the Shriners' fund at Brown field.
 White was scheduled to arrive here by plane today with Boston Univer- sity's Gary Famiglietti after last nights All Stars Washington Red skins game at Chicago in which he appeared briefly twice.
 The Bears, three times winners of the National League championship, ruled slight favorite over LeRoy B. (Pat) Hanley's talented 45 man squad which is reported in top shape after two weeks of twice-daily con- ditioning
 Coach George Halas predicted that Ray Buivid, former Marquette speedster, would match White pass for pass, although he was somewhat worried over the outcome of to- nights game.
 We're in fine condition he said, but they tell me that the All-Stars have been working so enthusiastical- ly that we're a bit afraid they will spring few surprises on us.
 The educated toe of Chicagos s Jack (Automatic) Manders, one- time All-American fullback at Min nesota, may be the decisive factor In the event of close game.

ISBELL BETTER
 THAN BAUGH IN
 ALL-STAR TEST
Future Packer Leads His Mates to 28-l6 Win Over
 World Champs
By STEVE SNYDER United Press Staff Correspondent)

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Chicago, Sept. 1-(UP)-Slingin' Sammy Baugh will have a danger ols passing rival in the National Football league this fall-Cecil Is- bell of the Green Bay Packers, a product of the same all-Star game that thrust Baugh into the national spotlight just one year ago.
 Isbell, who expects to graduate from the All-Stars to the Packers, outpitched Baugh last night as the fiery collegiate squad picked in a poll of 8000,0400 fans humbled Washington's world champion Red- skins, 28 to 16.
 In his three years at Purdue, Is- bell was rated the best passer in the Big Ten. He proved it again before 74,250 in Soldier field, pass ing 40 yards to one touchdown, lead- ing a second scoring drive and again conducting a 67-yard march that ended just foot short of a touch- down.
 Not Too Bad
 But it wasn't all Isbell. Baugh had his streaks of greatness, twice leading scoring marches of 75 and 67 yards, despite an ankle injury and the stiffest forward pass defense he had ever faced.
 The difference in scoring was the result of alertness by the rest of the All-Stars who converted every Red- skin mistake into a touchdown. They blocked a punt for one, twice intercepted passes for scores and almost added another when Baugh, tackled for 8 loss, attempted to ground the ball and the Stars re- covered on Washington's 30-yard line.
 Trailing 10 to 3 on Max Krause's touchdown at the end of Baugh's 75-yard drive and Q 22-yard place kick by Riley Smith, the All-Stars opened up in the third period. Jim McDonald's field goal from the seven-yard line early in the first period had been their only scoring until Isbell, with a 10-yard run and 40-yard pass to John Kovatch of Northwestern, scored their first touchdown.
 Fast Scoring
 Within minute, Phil Dougherty of Santa Clara intercepted 8 pass by George Karamatic and ran A yards for another. Jim Benton of Arkansas then blocked Baugh's quick kick, recovering on Washing tons 15 and Isbell was of again He passed l3 yards to Frank Pat rick of Pittsburgh and Corhy Davis went the rest of the way.
 Baugh moved the Redskins with in i've points at 21 to l6 by heaving three passes good for 60 yards to the All-Star seven-yard line. A time out penalty made it first and two and Karamatic carried 1t over
 It was Baugh's last stand. He left the game soon after and his un- derstudy, Dick Tuckey, had one last desperate pass intercepted for a 47 yard touchdown run by Minnesota $ Andy Uram. Patrick kicked the ex- tra point.
 Isbell handled his assignment so well at left halfback that Bo Me- Millin of Indiana and his staff of four All-Star coaches used the touted Colorado whizzer, Byron White, only one period.

ITALY'S SPEEDBOAT
 STAR ARRIVES

New York, Sept. 1.-(UP)-Count Theo Rossi Di Montelera of Italy, speedboat driver and bob-sledder, flies to Detroit today to start tuning up his stream-lined speeder, Alagi, for Mondays classic Gold Cup race on the Detroit river.
 Rossi and two mechanics arrived yesterday aboard the Conte Di Sa- voia.

An all-star aggregation of Public Parks leaguers, or possibly the Ma son Supply team of that circuit may be the selection to replace the North End Thomas club against the city champion Tribune A. c. Sunday afternoon at Hamilton Park, for the benefit of the "On To Pittsburghv fund, which has passed the $7OO mark. Thomas Club offi- cials and players voted last night, for various reasons to disband for the season.
 However, President Ray Tram was in his usual optimistic mood this A. M. issuing a statement of thanks for himself and the league to the managers of the 1888 teams, who agreed to throw a $50 donation into the Pittsburgh fund, rather than split it six ways as had been voted on earlier in the season. Fuehrer Tram was also loud in his praise of George Mulligan, Bobby Kelly and Mickey Dance, for the permission given last week and to- night to solicit contributions for the Pittsburgh drive at the amateur bouts to be held in Randolph Cloves stadium. The three men mentioned also have made personal donations and will make another on behalf of the Waterbury A. c. which they, as partners, represent.

 The first to fall before the law if it were passed in the United States undoubtedly would be Joe (we wuz robbed) Jacobs.

And the Pennsylvania would have to run special trains to the various hoose- gows, and at excursion rates. won- der what Burleigh Grimes visiting day would be? Old Burleigh would be making big ones out of little ones the first time Constable Bill Klem called one he didn't like. And wouldn't that Klem like to flash that badge of his around! He'd have gold one with diamond points and the first player who questioned him would be pdeipurofkc him would be picked up for vag- rancy, resisting an officer, harbor- ing a fugitive, and drinking without license.
 To The Clink
 Bill Tilden would be put away for good as third offender inside of three months. Not even the threat of solitary confinement would stop Big Bill from telling a linesman what he thought of his officiating on close ones. And think of all the football coaches who would be be- hind the big doors, searching their mail and presents for files and jin- myS.
 The Sing Sing golf team would be a pretty fair one, too, what with Harry Cooper, Lawson Little, and Ralph Guldahl, to mention a few who like to throw things firing away in the "big house" invitation tour nament.

New York, Sept. Additional dormitories would have to be added to Alcatraz, Leavenworth, Sing Sing and other of our more fashionable prisons if the United States should decide to adopt sorts ruling passed in Italy yesterday.
 At a congress in Rome the Fascists issued 8 decree giving police powers to all sports officials. Henceforth arbiters of all games will carry the additional title of public officer" and have the authority to imme- diately arrest any player of specta- tor using improper language, mak- ing vulgar gestures, or throwing ob- jects."
