YANKEES NEGOTIATING
FOR THE EASTON CLUB

A letter was received by the Mayor
of Easton from George M. Weiss, of
the New York Yankees, regarding the
baseball club for next season. In this
letter Mr.. Weiss asks whether Easton
would be willing to name a commit
tee to operate the club next season
like the plan suggested last year.
At the Council meeting on Monday
night of last week that body went on
record as opposing such a plan, in
structed the Mayor to write Mr.. Weiss
to this effect. The Yankees can fur
nish the ball players much better than
any local committee and they can oper
ate the park much more satisfactory
than local interests.
At any rate the Mayor and Coun-
Gil and the Yankees will meet in the
near future and determine one way or
another just what to expect for next
season.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
EASTERN SHORE WARDENS
MET IN EASTON, MD.

Last week the game wardens OF the
Eastern Shore counties met at Hote
Avon, Easton, Md, to receive instruc-
lions from Richard 7. Norris, CHIEF
the counties were represented with the
deputy game warden of the state. All
exception of Kent County, which at
the present time has no game warden
Mr.. Norris was asked the nature OF
the meeting, and he replied that a
great many of the wardens were new
in their office and he called them to-
gether to instruct them in their du-
ties. Ernest VaughA, regional de-
putty from Dorchester County, was al
so present.
Conservation was the keynote of the
gathering. While an increase is seen
in the upland game and the wild water
fowl, he stressed the fact that conser-
walton was still necessary to preserve
the game for the future.
Reports from the nesting areas and
other sources indicate an increase of
from 20 to 80 per cent in game this
season. The game wardens were in
structed to see that the laws were
enforced as a protection to the fast
increasing game in this section.
Mr.. Norris said he would remain in
Easton until Thursday. The wardens
lunched with the Rotary Club and
heard John B. Centrum speak.

Austraian Pair Figure To Surprise Scouts
|PEPE, CUMMINGS. PROVIDES REAL
 RING BATTLE
Meriden Boy Has Fine Ring RecOrd--Baginski
 Faces DeyOre

George Pope, one of the states outstanding ringmen of the past two years has been secured for his first professional showing in Water bury, when he stacks up against the able negro fighter, Bobby Cum mings of New York, who had little trouble defeating the clever Johnny Dougwillo of Marlboro, Mass, in a fight that should provide the most action of the season, and on paper, shapes up as the top of the out standing program yet arranged for outdoor showing by promoters of the Waterbury A. c.
 Classy Boy
 Pope, 8 Meriden boy whose anna teur ring record has been one of the best ever to be hung up by a Connecticut boxer, has been even more impressive as a professional and has been an outstanding gate" attraction in New Haven when ever he has shown there. In Cum mings, Pope will be facing a willy, experienced boxer who knows his way around but, in Pope, he will be facing boy who hits three times as hard as Dougwillo, whom Cum- mings defeated last week by dint of some hard punching in the final two rounds. ..e
 Other Battles
 The semi-pro undercard has five bouts, and two others which may rival the headliners. Topping the bill is Q meeting of Charley Ba- ginski, Springfield lightweight, and clever Johnny Devore of Bridgeport. Then there is return meeting of Tommy Ciarlo, chunky Waterbury Italian, and Bobby Will Hams, hard hitting Springfield Me- gro, who gave Ciarlo brief but interesting battle last winter at Buckingham hall. George Harmon, another Waterburian, gets a meet ing with shifty George Jordan, Springfield Greek, who is a big fav- orite here, and Lou Leonard, Bristol boy, faces hard hitting Jimmy Strong of Bridgeport.
 Two other bouts pair Jackie Moriarty, Waterbury, and Henry Armstrong, Bridgeport feather weight, and Aneglo Rubber Fears" Sinatere of .Naugatuck, and George Deyce of Bristol.

 Pastor

Philadelphia, Aug. 15 - (U.P) - Light Heavyweight Champion Billy Conn of Pittsburgh said today, Bring on Joe Louis", having launched his heavyweight campaign successfully with a technical knock out over Philadelphia's Gus Dorazio.
 Referee Leo Houck halted the scheduled 10-round bout at 1:52 of the eighth last night after the Pitts burgh Puma had gashed Dorazios' left brow 50 badly that both were smeared with blood.
 Dorado, who beat Challenger Bob Pastor last winter, used his 13- pound weight advantage to force the fighting and take the first two rounds. Conn weighed only 173, two under the light-heavy limit.
 But after that. Conn's darting left jab and fast footwork took com- mand.4 Dorado managed to fight on even terms in the fifth, but that was his last stand. His brow was gashed in the sixth and bleeding profusely in the eighth. Billy suffered a rip- ped left ear in the sixth. The bout drew nearly 12,000 fans to Shike Park, home of both Philadelphia major league clubs. The gate was reported slightly over $20,000.

Today's Sport Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE Limited Press Stan Correspondent)

Chestnut Hill, Mass, Aug. 15. (UP)-Mercer Beasley, the man who looks on tennis not as game but as science more exact than mathematics, rose from beneath his charts and formulae today to ex- press his views on the coming Davis Cup matches between the United States and Australia.
 As Coach of Frankie Parker, the man who plays like a robot, Beasley is closer to the cup situation than 8 farmer Is to the soil, and 1t should cheer those patriots who think the nation will totter if the cup is lost to learn that Beasley does not be- neve it will be.
 The matches in Philadelphia, !" Be,lsley said today, twill be matches between Australia's brawn and Americas brain. There is no deny- ing that insofar as muscular equip ment is concerned, Australia has the edge in Adrian Quist and Jack Brpmwich. They hit harder and are more powerful and aggressive than either Parker or Bobby Riggs. But they haven't the mental equipment of the Americans. Tennis brains, that is."
 Do you mean to tell me-" said, "that 8 man can overcome a can rlonball service or a forecourt smash by simply applying his gray mat ter? Are you saying that fellow can out-think a passing shot down the liner"
 Exactly" Beasley answered. That is just what mean. If the Americans do 1t this year 1t won't
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-08-15

be anything new. Do you remember the year of 1927? The year when France won the Davis Cup from us. Well, how do you think the French men won 1t? Simply by out think ing Americans. Rene LacoSte won both his matches that year, beating Tilden in one and Bill Johnston in the other. He beat them with his brains, not his racquet. He didn't have the shots at match the Amer jeans, and he knew 1t, SO he figured out how he could break down their games and reduce them to his level"
 Did Beasley believe Parker and Riggs had the cerebellum content of Lacoste?
 "Yes. Parker is a dead-ringer for Lacoste in style and tactics. Were Lacoste playing today his matches with Parker would be magnificent studies in court guile. and I hon. estly don't know which one would win.
 "As for Riggs, he is as smart as 8 - here Beasley paused and cast about for a worthy simile-"he IS as smart as a steel trap. Not in many years has this country had two singles players with as much knowledged of tennis and its finer points as Bobby and Frankie. They can study an opponet's style and then, by change of length, race, di- rection and temper, break it down completely. That is, any opponent save a great one, and the Austra- Hans are not great players. Frankie or Bobby could't break down Budge or Vines or Perry because those men were great players, and hit the ball so perfectly that there was no weakenss to play upon"
 If Americas Davis Cup fathers care to use 1t, Beasley has a book ful of statistics on the Australians, gathered during their play in the challenge round last year.
 He knows how many errors they made off their backhands, and all other hands; how they handled service to the forehand and back hand; how well they handled lobs and drop shots, and about every. thing else. A reading of these fig- ures reveals just what they like and don't like. 's's t',
 The American should utilize it If for nothing else but to offset the hundreds of hundreds of feet oi film the Australians have taken ol the Americans in play.
