RIVALRY KEEN ON DANBURY'S TRACK

Danbury, Conn.,, Sept. 10-Witfl Ted Tappett, flying little English from Manhassett, L. I. Broncho Bill Schindler, one-legged driving fool of Freeport, L. l., and game Ernie Ge- sell of Inwood, L. l., waging a bit- ter battle for the championship of the Danbury Speedways, midget auto race fans of Southwestern Connecti- cut are sure to be in for a real treat Friday evening in the Danbury Fair Grounds.
 Tappett is now leading the one- legged marvel, Schindler by four points while Gesell is like number of points behind Schindler as the season swings into the homestretch.
 At every other track where Schindler rides he is the leading pilot and he's the type of athlete who does not want to be out of the spotlight one minute so the fanE can look for some real roug hriding by him Friday night.
 So close is Gesell to the two leaders that win will put him in first place and this would be pleas- ing to many midget race fans as Ernie is very popular with every body.
 In all there will be about two dozen reckless chauffeurs in the seven races of III laps of which the feature will be 30 laps.
 Another crowd of 5000 or more persons is expected to be seated in the $l00,00o grandstand to watch the speed demons roar by on the fifth of 8 mile racing strip.

TOPS LARGE FIELD BY
 A SINGLE STROKE
Shoots Back 9 at Winged Foot in 33-Ward 72;
 Bing Crosby Out
BY HARRY FERGUSON

Mamaroneck, N. Y, Sept. 10.-- (UP)-The axe falls at sundown today and then only GA will be left of the 146 who are daring the ter- TOTS of Winged Foot's traps in quest of the national amateur golf cham pionship.
 Every putt that rims the cup, every bad lie in deep fairway clover will be heartbreak for the boys who have travelled thousands of miles for do-or-d1e shot at golfing glory. Tonight the committee adds up the scores for yesterdays and today's 18-hole rounds and tells the low GA men to stay. The rest can go home any time and start matching plans for next year.
 The best GA men start match play tomorrow and out of them will come the 1940 amateur champion.
 Today the pressure is hardest on the men who scared up toward 30 yesterday. It appeared that a two- day total of 154 would be needed to get in the magic GA and that left the following well known golf CTS on the ragged edge of danger:
 Johnny Goodman of Omaha, 1887 champion, who needed 78 strokes yesterday; Francis Ouimet, the grand old veteran who took the title in 1914 and 1881, but who shot 8 bad 82 in his first round here; and Chick Evans, famous golf1ng name before some of the present contest ants were born, who had a mediocre 79 yesterday.
 Only a miracle can save Bing Crosby, the Hollywood crooner, who strolled the course in blue trousers and yellow sweater, biting hard on the stem of a pipe and trying to dig himself out of Winged Foot's cruel traps. Bing fired an 83 yesterday and will have to break par 72 to- day to remain in the tournament.
 The field starts out today irnlpur- suit of a calm, stocky gent from Cincinnati named Maurice Mo- Carthy. He came up the 18th fair way with chance to seize the lead by one stroke. McCarthy's nerves have been tempered in the fires of too many tournaments to blow a chance like that, so he got 8 putt down on the last green for a bril- liant B, three under par, on the back nine. With his 37 going out. He came in with 8 TO for the best score of the day.
 Three men posted 71s. They were Dick Chapman, Winged Foot boy who knows every blade of grass and grain of sand on the course; Johnny Cree of Hamburg, N. Y, making his first bid for the amateur title; and Tom Whiteway, Wickcliff, O., who has played in only one amateur tournament before.
 Marvin Ward of Spokane, Wash, defending champion and the hot fa- vorite this year, led those who got a par 72.
 Standing at 72 with Ward were six others.

 day at 3 p. m.
Special to the Democrat)

Birmingham, Alabama, Sept. i0.-- Faced with the frank fact that they may have to quit the national anna teur baseball tournament because of lack of funds, though they were one of only three undefeated teams in the tourney Tuesday morning, North End Thomas Club players from Connecticut had 8 large cloud of gloom cast over their splendid showing in action to date. On Sat- urday, they eliminated the strong Sycamore, Illinois club, champions of the Chicago district drew . bye on Sunday and then hung sur- prising 6 to 4 defeat over the favor ed Washington, D. c. Heinrich Brewers on Monday.
 Joseph Brophy, president of the Waterbury league, had little to say except that he was hoping for the best" About $500 was needed to get the team on 8 financially secure basis 50 that they can continue play in the tournament. Otherwise, they may have to pack up ana come home, particularly if they are vic- torious against the Barberton, Ohio club today, which has won two and lost one game to date.
 A special appeal for additional funds was wired to the Thomas Club packers and baseball fans of Waterbury, by President Brophy.
 Washington Topped
 Waterbury contiued it's victorious march here yesterday in the Na- tional Amateur Baseball Fedora tion tournament with 8 6-4 win over Washington, D. c.
 Lefty Roy Johnson was the win- ing hurler for the Tommies, pitch ing hitless ball for six frames but had to retire with one out in the seventh after putting two men on via walks, and two hits and an error by Johny DeVito in center field re- suited in three runs.
 Bob Mariana came in at this point and blanked the Washington Brew CTS for the balance of the game in a brilliant relief job.
 Waterbury got IS hits of a trio of Washington hurlers, Longo hit ting for the circuit in the second. YoE'ka, with four hits, and DeVito and Longo with three each featured the attack.
 The Tommies pushed over three in the first and three in the sec- ond for all their scoring. Johnson walked 10, but got out of trouble except in the seventh.

After taking a columnist's vaca- tion of three weeks the St. Thomas Holy Names Club once again breaks into the news with a complete re- sume of the weekly happenings that take place at the Beacon street club rooms.
 Several members of the club have been on diet over the weekend, but we have been informed that there is no cause for alarm as the boys are only getting in shape for the dinner that Father Donnelly is giving this evening for the ladies and gentlemen that put forth their time and efforts so that the recent festi- val could be the huge success it was. Father Donnelly, sports enthusi- ast, certainly deserves loads of credit end praise for the excellent work 60 did on putting on the festival which turned out to be one of the best the St. Thomas parish has ever had in its history.

Dolan Skill Fitted Against
 MOntanari Punch Thursday

Welterweights, sealing between 142 and 147 pounds will provide the fistic action in three of five professional bouts on Thursdays Waterbury A. c. program at Ram dolph- Cloves Stadium. The main bout principals, Irish Eddie Dolan of Waterbury and Francesca Mon- tanari of ItaIy will come in at about 146 pounds for their eight round battle and from all indica- tions it will be a real ring test for both young men and a treat for the fans as the match pits Mon- tanari's knockout punch against Dolan's amazing skill.
 Monty Can Hit
 Montanari, a fair skinned Italian, over from Genoa about two years, opened the collective eyes of every one looking on when he stiffened the clever and hard-hitting Howard Wright of New York a few weeks ago. Then, when he held Ernie "Cat" Robinson to an eight round draw in a sensational fight, Mon- tanari was made" insofar as local fandom was concerned, which Is why capacity crowd is almost sure to be on hand to see if he can "tag" the shifty and tireless Dolan. It's a fight where Montanari must win by a knockout if he is going to get the nod as Dolan is much too clever for him as boxer, yet the Italian will be mighty danger. ous every second he is in the ring, as he showed against Robinson who had him going" several times only to be stopped in his tracks by solid wallop to the jaw, head or body. In short, Monty can stop anyone he can hit with any regu- larity and Dolan cannot stop all the punches that will be thrown at him.
 Promising
 Red Doty of Hartford and Alex Doyle of Garfield, N. J, the lad who held Tommy Ciarlo to a draw are paired in a six rounder that ought to be really interesting as both lads are the same type of fighters.
 Billy Duffy of Hartford, the Vil- lanova grad who has improved as a professional ringster after four years of college boxing is paired in a six rounder with Al Castanguay of Holyoke. This bout is liable to be the best on the. card from a standpoint of sustained action.
 Maxie Katz, fresh from his New York win last week at the Queens boro is to swap leather with Tommy Mcclure a middleweight member of the Dolan stable. On "paper"' this one looks like a free-swinging
