MUST HAVE 5IYlE FOR
 SWING BAND
Broadway Is Tough Place for Crooaers, Just
 Getting On
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Impossible events sometimes come to pass along Broadway Every girl who thinks she can dance or sing or act often dreams of walking cold into the of flee of a producer or band leader and boldly asking for asjob-and getting it. 3a
 Four years ago girl who thought she could sing walked into room where Louis Prirna was rehearsing swing band, and asked for chance to show him how well she would fit into his organization. Fri ma asked her to sing several num- bers. You have a nice voice, he told her. 9but you lack style" fs
 Without charging her anything Louis began teaching her. After awhile she would drop into his place in Sand street and sing number or two each evening, with the band. She got the feel" of swing band grooming. This was lot of fun, and it was good practice. One night while she was "practicing" film scout calledther over and offered her tiny part in one of Bing Crosbys picture. She came out of this bit" with a name of her own, and you'll recognize it as Martha Rave.

 A few nights ago quite pretty, demure little girl whose age is IT and whose name is Patricia Miller, left, her mushroom sandwich half eaten and advanced to the band stand. This was Hickory House, and Louis Prima Che does get around) was again on hand. She wondered, please, if MT. Prima would let her sing song, just one, just one little song Most band leaders are pestered unmercifully with people in public places. and ordinarily Prima would have said he was sorry but not now. In this instance he surprised him. self by saying, okay.
 Do not leap to conclusions. She is not a strange glamorous un- known who leaped from obscurity to big time. She hasn't done any, thing yet. But she sang that night. "It,s like this" Prima mumbled, "You have nice voice, but you lack style"
 So he is teaching her style. U. But not in public places, where film scouts can drift by and take his discoveries away to Hollywood. If this girl is another Martha Rave, Prima wants to make the discovery himself = and not by going to the movies.
 Tn Chambers street is window with most peculiar sign: "The Rest Social Club" But in this window is machine-gm, trench helmet, hand grenade, and bay onet. I can't figure it out.

STATE RECORD
 IN M HE R ACE
 EXPECTED HERE
McCluskey Anxious to Beat Rice Thursday in
 Police Meet

Continuous activity from 2 D. m. until midnight will be the sched- ule for the State Police Associations Field Day at the new municipal Stadium, Watertown avenue, Aug ust 3rd.
 The track and field events will bring to Waterbury many of New England's stellar performers in- cluding Joe McCluskey ex-Fordham luminary and present national steeplechase title holder.
 The Mile of the Century" will be run when McCluskey and Char ley Rice of the New Haven Harriers meet. Two weeks ago thees men met at Washington park and Rice defeated McCluskey in the time of 4:32 and 2-5 seconds. McCluskey Is aiming to avenge his defeat and will be in top form for this race. A new state record for the mile may be created at this meeting.
 The softball game between Harry Melvin's Waterbury Aces and the Waterbury Clock Shop Girls will bring together two of the leading soft-ball combines in Connecticut. The Aces have lost but one game this season to the Terryvllle Ter riers and reversed the decision at Waterville recently when the Ter riers forfeited. The Clock Shop team is leading the Industrial league and is undefeated to date. A dis pute has risen between these teams over the arbitrator and it looks as thought Sergeant Joe Petit and his Field Day committee will have to make the ruling about the umpire. Both teams are out to capture the city title so that action will be guaranteed from start to finish.
 Acrobatic drilling by Fritz Wei dorns Turn Verein will also hold the spotlight at the Field Day. This group is rated as one of the best acrobatic teams in the coun- try placing high in national com petition at Providence recently.
 Ten acts of high-class vaudeville and ten boxing bouts will conclude this all day sports festival.

WOMEN MAKE TWO NEW WATER MARKS

Des Moines, Iowa, July. 29. - (UP) - Contestants in the Wo- mems National A. A. U. swimming meet put two new records in the book today and eyed the 100-meter backstroke record of Virginia Hop- kins of Los Angeles.
 Eastern and western coast stars shared the glory of setting new marks for the 400-meter relay and individual medley in Birdland Pool last night. Six swimmers, survivors of field of 13 in qualifying trials, open tonight's program with an as- sault on Miss Hopkins record. She will not defend it.
 Last night her team, the Los Angeles Atheletic Club, anchored by Esther Williams, set a new na- tional 400-meter relay record in clipping :08.8 seconds off a record made by members of the same club in 1888. Miss Hopkins gave her teammates an advantage they never lost. Her twin sister, Marion, Flea nor Chamberlain and Miss Williams did the rest.
 Doris Brennan, Providence, R. l., covered the 300-meter distance of the individual medley relay race in 4:32.3 to lower the 4:33.1 record set by Mrs. Katherine Rawls Thompson, Fort Lauderdale. Fla, last year. Mrs. Thompson did not defend because of illness.
 Miss Brennan was pushed to her record in the 300-meter individual medley by Helen Rains. New York. Miss Rains was tied with the cham pion through the breastroke and backstroke laps. Then Miss Bren- nan shot ahead in the final 100- 1 meter free-style. She finished five yards ahead of Claudia Eckert, Wilmette, Illinois. Miss Rains was third; Ann Hardin. fourth: Dorothy Leonard, Worcester, fifth; and Ruth Howarth, Hopedale, Mass. sixth.

BRICK-BATS TO BE BARRED FOR
 EAST END FUED
"Electric Eye" to Be Used By Hard1y=Ables at Park
 Next Friday

The age-old feud Tone year of age to be exact) between the Hard ly-Ables and the Annapolis Motor- men will be resumed on the evening of August 4; the battle grounds will be Hamilton park.
 Quarters will be asked, and quar- ters will be given the number de- pending on the odds the night of the great battle. Mutual friends of the warriors have asked that an electric eye" be installed at the gate, feeling that the feudists had best do without all excess equip ment, such as lead pipes, "brick- bats" etc.
 The Motormen, led by Mister 0. P. Tocchio Esq, feel confident of resuming the style of play they in- corporated last year when they de- feated the Hardly -Ables, or TIA" as they don't wish to be called.
 However, the HAS" have been sharpening their implements of play under the supervision of "Pinky" Sheehan. Such things as Hiding, watch-hooking, and when not to slug the umpire have been drilled upon, and Professor Sheehan, IL. D., A. B., and c. D., is satisfied with his class.
 How well he has taught his pupils will be shown on the final exam Friday night.

DougwillO Defeats D0nahue;
 Craig, Met Carthy Draw Again

ach of his taller ring foe from Marl- boro, Mass. However, 1t was case of "one punch and grab" with Don- ahue, while his opponent never stopped trying to outpoint the Stam- ford Harp and, in the las two rounds had no trouble doing 1t, as Donahue turned in a putrid performance for a boy of his ability who has beaten better opposition than Dougwillo more than once.
 Morris Set Back
 George Fuller, the liver-lipped Norwalk negro, who is a "dead ringer" for the movie comedian Stepin Fetchit, had no great trou- ble winning from Lou Browns heavyweight Frankie Morris, whose inexperience defeated him, as he hits harder than Fuller, the state anna teur heavyweight champion. Morris scaled 180, Fuller, 175.
 Slugging Sammy Craig of the north end and Tommy Mccarthy of Schenectady, N. r., put on another three-round sizzler that wound up even Stephen and was easily the best bout on the card. The boys, 147 pounders. slugged 1t out for three rounds and when Referee Bill Con- way gave the draw decision there were dozen arguments at the ring side, some saying Craig won, others taking McCarthy's part, proving that the draw was 8 perfect deci- sion and natural"
 Other Results
 George Harmon, 142, Waterbury, met buzz-saw in Dick Fuller, IA, Stamford, but finished strongly to gain a draw in one of the two best bouts of the night.
 Frankie Cassin, 157, Schenectady, anod Emil Bad Boy" Etters, 155, Waterbury, failed to live up to ex- pectations and after three rounds of comical action finished all even.
 Other results: Bobby Ellis, 140, New Britain, scored technical knockout victory over Al Fusco, 137, Schenectady, after 1:30 of the third round.
 Guy Gardello, 168, Schenectady, decisioned Buddy Jones, I'll, Nor walk, in a leather tossing session.
