 Comparison
 One man said Fritz Kreisler at his best brought forth no sweeter violin sounds than did the Woodward colt as he rounded into the far turn. An- other swore he distinctly heard Johnstown play the overture to Wil- liam Tell as he galloped past the judges stand. A woman from Hat. tiesburg, Miss, with a strong love for the south, surprised those around her by waving a tattered confed- crate lag. She explained that Johns- town had played Dixie shortly after the start of the race.
 Owner Woodward and trainer Sunny Jim" Fitzsirnmons have been reluctant to discuss the matter. Either the other reports aren't true or Fitzsimmons is keeping Johns- towns talent secret until he com- pletes vaudeville arrangements for his charge.
 Johnstown's jockey for the Law renee Realization has not been an- nounced as yet, but there is a ru- mor going around that Arturo Tos- canini, famed Italian maestro, will have a leg up. Toscanini would be happy choice if all the stories of Johnstown's accomplishments are true. No better man could be chose, to conduct" Johnstown during the mile and five furlongs route. He is light (my guess is that he would weigh in at about 108); he has a great pair of hands, and can handle the baton like no one else. hope he Is chosen and that as he brings Johnstown down in front by two or three lengths he and the colt will favor us with some appropriate se- lection like, say, the Grand March from Aida.
 Johnstown's performance in the Realization will furnish a pretty true line on his condition and whether or not he will be ready to challenge Challedon in the Pimlico Special at Alfred vanderbilt's track in Balti- more Nov. l. With Eight Thirty def- lnitely out of the race, the special looks as if it will be another of those two-horse grudge affairs of a year year ago when Seabiscuit conquered War Admiral.
 Swing it, Johnstown!

 Yes, "hear" him. If all the reports concerning the Derby winner are true, his sound effects as he thun- ders along the backstretch and bangs down toward the wire must be won. derful to hear. The first hint of Johnstown's musical accomplish ments came back in July when a clocker, timing him in morning workout, said he had developed a delightful whistle, not unlike that of Bing Crosby or Morton Downey.
 Not long after, when the Wood- ward colt was working for the Ar- lington classic in Chicago, stable- hand revealed that Johnstown had added to his reper 5bire and sounded exactly like a saxaphone after run- ming three-quarters of a mile.
 "1t's the prettiest music I've heard since they broke up the Boswell sis- ters," the stablehand told friends.
 But the real flood of reports on Johnstown's ability to create music while he ran started after his per- formance in the classic, which saw

BULLDOG MANAGER
 DEFENDS PROTEST

Yesterday an article was written in the paper by Jimmy Damelic vice-president of the South End Softban League who bitterly at- tackled Mgr. Sammy Procopion of the South End Bulldogs. Jimmy who has a sense of doing things ii, his own way stated that the protest which was brought up by the Bull- dogs was given full consideration. I would consider Jimmy Damelio, rather cheap in saying this on ac- count of him not being present at this confab. Not knowing what oc- cured and what had happened he writes anything that pleases him well. Now If Jimmy took this mat ter more serious and showed a little more consideration or even if he inquired from the president of the league what had happened at the meeting he would not have written this. Moreover I think that Damelio misunderstood the protest which I had written. Damelio says:
 At the time this decision was made George Gagnon was standing to the left of second base, and Caul- field was behind first base. The Bulldogs were trailing 20, and had three men on base and two outs. when Reardon hit a pop fly behind second base.
 Serge Doucette who was playing short field came in fast and reach- ed down and in the opinion of the umpire-in-chief, Roland Boucher. and the umpire who was standing behind second base, the ball was caught and not just trapped as Mister Procopion led you to be- neve, but Johnny Caufield who had no authority over this play, came over and claiming the ball was trapped. overruling the decision made by the umpire chief"
 Procopion Says
 If Jimmy had read the descrip- ton of my incident a little more carefully he would see that Johnny Caulfield was closer to the play than the other umpire George Cog non. AS soon as Caulfield was try ing to correct Gagnon's mistake. Boucher who should have made the decision on this play did not at- tempt to cooperate. Roland, who made no attempt whether to can this man out or safe waited until last Friday to call this man out. The description above says that Bouch- CT did give his decision which is very false.
 P. s. Imagine an umpire taking a week to make a decision"

 Football in the so-called big three figures to hit the skids. Yale and Harvard are weak; Princeton, with an experiencer line, will be improv- ed. Cornell, championsc of the ivy league, lost virtually all of its team by graduation; Dartmouth will re- build this year: and Columbia will miss Sid Luckman in the backfield.
 Brown reports it might have a strong team while Colgate, which opens this Saturday against N. Y. U., expects improvement because at long last the Red Raiders have a stadium and can play most of their games at home.
 Pittsburgh figures to be good-but not as good as in former years. New Coach Charles Bowser has a large squad but ',e must find almost an entire new line and backfield. Only star from last years team who re- turns is Halfback Dick Cassiano. Pittsburgh opens this Saturday on the Pacific coast against Washing ton and t,,e nation should get line on the Panthers after that ones over.
 Army and Navy, as usual. will be tough but neither figures to be great. Army expects to have a hard-hit- ting line and already is lining it's sights on Notre Dame and Navy victories which mean the difference between a good or bad season.

 The East


 New York, Sept. 27.-(UP).- ThereIl probably be a scarcity oi good football teams in the east this season, but those who look like they have "the stuff" might turn out tc to be among the best in the land.
 Last year the big teams along the Atlantic seaboard were Carnegie Tech, Holy Cross, Fordham, Pitts burgh and Cornell. This season the advance dope indicates that the first three will be on top again along with a group of dark horses Pennsylvania, Syracuse and Boston College.
 May Be Tops"
 Out of it all, Fordham can emerge as the undisputed leader of the east and possibly the nation. The Rams are said to be looking for their best team in the seven years Jimmy Crowley has been coaching-and some of Crowley's past elevens have been better than average.
 Fordham has suicide" schedule. It opens this week against Little Waynesburg but after that come Alabama, Tulane, Pittsburgh, Rice, Indiana, St. Mary's and New York University. A clean sweep of that schedule would make Fordham the No. l team of the country.
 In the backfield, Crowley has Len sopf omore sensation of last year, llus Dom Principe, Steve kazlo, Bill Krywicki, and Jimmy Blumenstock. The line is big, strong and full of veterans. The reserves are more than adequate. The backfielo, Crowley hopes, will be 1889 version of the Notre Dame -Four Horsemen" of which Jim was member.
 Carnegie Teach and Holy Cross face each other during the season. Carnegie won every game put Notre Dame a rear ago; Holy Cross all but the Carnegie battle.
 Carnegie has seven regulars back. It has fast, hard hitting backfield, } sturdy line and a schedule that includes Temple, N. Y. U., Pitts ourgh and Duquesne.
 Holy Cross has most of last years 'tars back. Prominent absentee is Bullet Bill'' Osmanski, fullbcak. A yreat freshman team will provide adequate plugs for whatever gaps develop.

 The local team has had plenty of practice and undoubtedly will give good account of itself Friday but whether it's inexperience will be the margin that may swing the tide in favor of the visitors remains to be seen.
 Albie Booth, former Yale star, will be referee Friday, Art Forst, ex- Villanova back, will be umpire and Frank Barnikow, coach of Meriden high, will act as headlinesman. The Naugatuck high band will render se- lections during the halves.

 A loudspeaker system has been installed and broadcast of the play by play will be given to the fans so they might follow more closely the trend of the game.
 Officials for the game will be John Cluney, James Murphy and Bill Schofield.
 The Indies will probably oppose a strong Springfield, Mass, team here next Sunday if satisfactory turn out responds for the opening con- test at the Municipal stadium. A game is also pending with the Wal ingford WalcoS.

BOROUGH II READY

Naugatuck, Sept. 27-The Nauga- tuck high football eleven faces a real test in its opening game of the season Friday when it meets twice victorious Woodrow Wilson high of Middletown at Recreation field at 3 p. m.
 The Middletown team has defeat- ed Branford high. 1927 and East Hartford high, 33-6, and will be fa- vored to trim the Foleymen Friday. The Naugatuck team will have a majority of its players who have had little or no experience in ac- tual high school play and conse- quently its strength is an unknown factor.
 Uncertain
 Some of the candidates are big enough but some lack the experi- ence that only actual contest play can give. Gene Fratesi and Elmer Stauffer are regulars from last year, although Fratesi has been converted into back this year. He played in the line last year.

Two Draw Fines
For Violation OF

GARY, Ind.-(ANP)-Through
the efforts of Mrs. Cora E.
Franklin, for three years State
inspector for the Indiana Board
of Beauty Culture, two women
last week were convicted and
fined for violation of state beau
ty culture laws.
Frances Knox, 80, was fined
S25 and costs on each of two
charges and Mrs. Elizabeth Arm
strong, %, was given similar
fine on one charge, but 30-day
sentence imposed against her was
suspended.
Commenting on the convic-
tions Inspector Franklin said she
is out to fight war to the finish
on behalf of Indiana's licensed
beauticians. In Gary alone, there
are $50 licened operators and 81
licensed shops. These women de-
serve protection from "beauty
culture bootleggers" she says,
and after warning and coaxing
them for several months, she is
determined to prosecute every
violator she finds.
