TWO STAR BOUTS
TOP LOCAL CARD
Hatcher To Meet Stack In
Eight ROunder-MOnta=
mari VS.. Robinson

Waterbury A. c. club officials are
confident that they have lined ur
two of the best bouts of the season
to date, and both of them to head
line the weekly ring show Thursday
at Randolph Cloves stadium. Fran
cesco Montanari of Italy and Ernie
"Cat" Robinson of New York will
tangle in one eight round bout.
Jimmy Hatcher, the South Carolina
socker and joey Stack of Philadel-
phia are to be seen in the rival
Suggest on the five bout program.
Tried and True
Montanari, Robinson and Hatcher
are tried and true, Stack is making
his first local showing. On the
strength OF his knockout of How
ard Wright, two weeks ago, Mon
tanari is welcome back to Water
bury. Robinson gave Eddie Dolan
plenty of trouble, then defeated the
able Carl Dell of New York twice in
Hartford. Hatcher has yet to lose
a Connecticut fight, and he has
had no "pushovers" for his very
first battle with Shocks lacey of
New Haven who had won more than
20 fights in a row. Stack, the new
conner defeated Pete De Grasse, on
of the nations top-ranking feath-
erweights two years ago and has
beaten Morris Parker, said to have
defeated Bobby Ruffin and Allie
Stoltz, the former Able Rosen of
New Haven. Therefore, the double
feature windup Thursday ought to
be lone for the book" for there are
two welterwelghts and two feather
weights all OF whom are rated
knockout punchers and there Is no
question about three of them.
SOckerOo
Tony Gillo, the unorthodox New
Haven boy who swing from the
floor" and frankie Albino of New
York are rated for a six round
'Donneybrook" that ought to tickle
the ringworms to slight shade OF
lavender. It's an all-brawn no brains
bout that will produce potential
haymaker per minute.
Tommy Carlo of this city and
Alex Doyle of Garfield, N. j., are
listed for six rounds at 1873 pounds.

Hershey, Pa, August %. = (UP)-
-Sixty-four men settled down and
began playing for keeps in the PGA
tournament on the rain-swept Her
shey Country Club course.
The boys who ripped par to pieces
during the qualifying rounds on
Monday and Tuesday were in the
same boat as those who barely man
aged to get around the course.
Today is the one when the dough
goes on the line = when, each vic
tory means a couple hundred dol
lars more in prize money and all that
happened before is forgotten.
BY Shutdown, only 16 men will be
left in the battle and you can bet
your last dollar that lot of great
names in American golf are going
to be rubbed from the scoreboard.
All big Shots" In
The lucky "a were the survivors
of an original field of 100, and for
one of the few times in history, there
wosn't a single major player who
failed to get into the match play
rounds. Because of that, you could
stick a pin into the draw sheet to-
day and have good chance OF hit
ting the winner.
Listen to these names and then
tell us who'll be the big winner Sun
day night pick one from list
that includes Sam Snead, defending
champion. Henry Picard, Gene Sara
zen, Ed Dudley, Paul Runyan, Wal
ter Hagen, Harold (Jug) Nc Spa
den, Dick Metz, Byron Nelson,
Jimmy Demaret, Johnny Revolta,
Horton Smith, Ben Hogan, Ralph
Gulrahl and Craig Wood.
All of them and few guys
you never heard of - play two IL
hole rounds of match play today.
And around this part of the country
they were laying 2 to l against pick
ing a list of only eight men who'll
be in there at shutdown.

KearnS Beats Jacobs
To Baer Comisky

New York, Aug. 28-(UP)-Jack
Kearns, former manager of Heavy
weight Champion Jack Dempsey, to-
day signed the most important prize
fight saged by an independent pro-
moter since Mike Jacobs began his
flstic monopoly almost six years ago
with match between Make Baer
of Livermore, Calf, and Pat Comis-
key of Paterson, N. j.
Kearns who has been negotiatin
for the bout for more than a week,
said that Ancil Hoffman, Baer's
manager, had agreed to guarantee
of $4,000 with the privilege of TAX
ing 80 per cent of the net gate
should that figure exceed the guar
antee sum. The bout will be held in
the Jersey City. N. j., ballpark dur
ing the week of September %.
Kearns and his three New Jersey
hackers expect the match to draw
more than 100000.
The bout is a fistic plum for
Kearns as every other promoter in
the country was after Madcap Make,
whose prestige has been on the rise
since his win over Tony Galento.
Mike Jacobs has been dickering with
Hoffman and Baer for a title brawl
with Louis but Hoffman demanded
a $4,000 guarantee.

BISHOP BEST In
BOSTON GOLF TEST

Boston, Aug. 28.-(UP)-A strong
contingent of IA top-hight players
stood ready today to represent New
England in the national amateur
golf championship at Mamaroneck,
N. Y, Sept. 9-14.
Seven of them qualified at the
Brookline Country club, and five
earned berths at New Haven, Conn.,,
in 36-hole sectional tests yesterday.
Francis Ouimet of Brookline and
Jesse Guilford of Newton qualified
automatically as former champions.
Ted Bishop Of Auburndale, Massa-
chusetts titlist, topped the field Of
SO at the country club with 142
total for the two rounds. The 27-
year-old ice cream salesman shot a
three-under-par closing round of
68 to lead his nearest rival by three
strokes.
Leo Martin of Watertown, New
England champion, shot a first
round So but carded wobbly II
second round to finish second at
las.
The pair of 68s were only one
stroke over the record for the
rugged course set by Johnny Fisch-
er of Cincinnati in a 1896 qualifying
round and were the only par
rounds of the day.
Johnny Burke of Newport, r. l.,
metropolitan titlist, was third with
rounds of 70 and rs. The others

Shute Never Paid
By U S G A Moguls;
Has Appendix Attack

Hershey, Pa, Aug. 28.-(UP)-The
condition of professional golfer
Denny Shute, twice P. G. A. cham
pion and winner of only $155 in five
tournaments twice year, was de-
scribed by Dr. David A. Johnston as
"only fair" today following an emer-
gency operation for acute appendi-
citis.
DR.. Johnston, summoned from
Harrisburg, Pa, performed the OPP
Grafton at o'clock last night, only
few hours after Shute had quail
fled for today's match play in the
P. G. A. tournament with a rs.
Shute, who won the title in 1886
ard 1887, complained of pains in his
stomach after finishing his play and
was rushed to the hospital.
Shute was the center of con-
troversy that split the P. G. A. exc
cutive ranks during last years tour
ney at Flushing, N. Y. He failed to
pay his dues on time because he
had sent them to the wrong address.
The other pros refused to start
qualifying play unless Shute be al
lowed to play.
Never Paid
Shute qualified but Secretary Tom
Walsh and other mmbeers of the
executive committee refused him
permission to start match play.
George Jacobus, then president and
succeeded by Walsh, overruled the
committee and Shute was defeated
in the second round.
Today Shute was the center of
another growing argument. When
Shute returned to the clubhouse
yesterday, Mrs. Shute revealed that
Denny never had been paid the $3.50
due him for going to the second
round last year Shute confirmed
the report today while he lay in the
hospital and fellow golfers vocally
protested Denny's brushoff.
When queried by the United
Press, President Walsh at first said
that such stuff was past history
and why reopen lod wounds" Later
on, he refused to confirm or deny
whether or not Shute received his
money. THE P. G. A. is ready to
help Shute in every way possible"
he said.

YATES FAILS TO
QUALIFY FOR
AMATEUR PLAY
British Champ Of 1888 Out
of 1910 U. S. Meet With

BY LESLIE AVERY
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

(Un1ted Press STAN correspondent
New York, Aug. 50. (UP)-
Charley Yates, a good enough
golfer to win the British amateur
title two years ago, may well wall
about the injustice Of it all today
because he failed to qualify for next
months national amateur cham
pionship with score better than
those posted by exactly "a success

While nothing better than the
district qualifying system has
turned up yet, it certainly failed to
work out equitably yesterday for
young Yates, who without doubt
is one of the best simon-pure club
swingers in the land. With success
full qualifying scores soaring as high
as 1872, Yates 149 for So holes was
not good enough simply because he
was playing in his home district at
Atlanta where only four places were
available.
Too Bad
Charley, who at 26 Is reputedly
the nations youngest vice-president
of a bank, would have qualified in
Is of the % districts with his IT.
72-149, and he would have had
chance to playoff for the last place
in three others. Yates, however, will
have plenty of prominent company
on the sidelineS when the field Of
$50 tees off for the amateur crown
at Winged Foot Club, Mamaroneck,
N. Y, Sept. 8.
With rain and chilly weather
marring play in many sections, 141
constituted the best scoring in the
nation.
After Yates, the most prominent
failures included Ellsworth Vines,
professional tennis star who quail
fed last year; Dan Topping. profess
sional football magnate; and P. Hal
Sims, bridge expert. OF all the Gel
ebrities, crooner Bing Crosby, did
the best. He carded a 152 at Los
Angeles to qualify as the first alter

players fails to make the trip east.

This Weeks Sedrah

And Moses said: ''This is the
thing that God commanded that
We should do. =. :" Neviticus ell;
P'Shemini-Parah)
Moses brings us the glory of
God. The great man, even more
than nature, is persuasive of the
presence of God. The greater a
mans knowledge or spiritual ac-
quirements, the stricter the stan
dard by which he is to be Judged.
God is exacting of the righteous
even to a hairbreadth. And Moses
stands out among the great men
OF the human race, as one whose
life was a constant benedictiOn
and blessing to people, as one of
the most gifted in teaching the
difference between the pure and
the impure, between the clean and
the unclean i'm life.
Moses remains one of the most
original geniuses of the human
race. The impact of his life upon
us is so great that biographers
and story-tellers have been unable
to compress the material and the
impression. Moses arts the
mountain, and makes the noun
tain seem small as he stands on
it. He relinquished the favored
position that was his to throw in
his lot with a people who would
have remained unimportant ex-
cept for his influence and guild
ance. Compromises were against
his nature; yet he had to bend
to the needs and powers of the
people and permit some compro-
misses until the people should
grasp for themselves the full i'm
plications of his genius.
A recent novel, on ''MOses, Man
of the Mountain" shows his indebt-
edness to JethrO for inspiration,
and his diSpleasure with Aaron.
That is the stOry-teIler's license,
who sought dramatic moments for
his tale. Even there, much of the
real Moses eludes him. For ex-
ample, he cuts his story short on
the mountain where Moses spent
forty days alone in meditation.
There Moses learned to under
stand God, and the concept of
God that Moses had should be
ours. God, all-pOwerfuI, who's e
power shows in the vast stretches
of truth and loving kindness, of
mercy unto the thousands, of the
spiritual nature of Gods qualities.
Continued Next Week.
