 That was too much for Mrs. Arr caro. She turned, glared at the critic of her husbands skill, and said:
 He's the best rider in the coun- try. If you can't afford to lose, then don't bet"
 Back at the table, she explained that she knew she shouldn't have said anything to the man, that Ed die has told her just to ignore such remarks, but that she couldn't do it.
 T know how hard he's trying and I know the chances he'll take to get home first" Mrs. Arcaro said. Riding is dangerous. Johnny Barba died of fall here only recently. It burns me up to hear anyone ques- tion Eddie'S nerve. I've seen him risk his life for a better position"

NEW CLUB SET TO ORGANIZE
 THIS EVENING
Meeting at Ewen Home; LusO-Americans Also
 Represent City

With preliminary plans reading for voting action, . second and new soccer club to represent Waterbury in state league competition this sea- son will be formed tonight at 6 meeting in the home of Daniel Bah- ram Eurell at PA Highland avenue. The talking is scheduled to officially get under way at 8 o'clock, or there aboutS, with every evidence point ing to another strong soccer team such as the old Americans, who were good enough to go to the fifth round of National Soccer Cup play before losing out.
 Two Teams Now.
 In state league play to date, the city has been represented by the Luso-Americans, handled by Jimmy Fernandez, while the Waterbury Uniteds of last season did not or- ganize as the management was gus- pended but, as the suspension does not cover players, they will be or- ganized by MT. Eurell tonight into a team to be known as the Waterbury Soccer club and will include such booterS as the three Kiernan laddy- bucks, Scotty, John and Pat, Bob BwoeS, Joe Mclaughlin, Tommy Thompson, Al VerneS, Reed Cullen, Jack Morrison, Tom Glynn, Ace Gibbs and Frank Davison.
 Confident.
 Enthusiastic to a fault, Danny Eurell is convinced that he can round up one of the best soccer clubs in New England right here in Waterbury which is why he has called tonights session at his home where the aforementioned are ex- pected as well as Arthur Scriven, Curtis Lancaster and Charley Mur- tagh, with every indication point ing to revival of soccer football interest locally for with two strong clubs in the state league, Waterbury can be figured on to take down it's share of the honors, for it is a we'll known fact that some of the finest soccer plays in this country can be recruited in and around Waterbury.

Hearts and Flowers For Long Gyland

New York, Oct. 16.-(UP)-Soft music and poetry will serve to quell prc-game jitters for the Long Isl- and University football team, Dr.. Richard H. Paynter, head of the university's psychology department, said today.
 Soft music and poetry set up the right trains of association" Dr. Paynter said. '"rhe boys will do far better the next day on the gridiron by reading poetry out loud to each other on the eve of impending games rather than listening to the deafening din known as swing"
 Dr. Paynter's theory will be tested at Loretto, Pa, this Sunday where L. I. U. plays St. Francis College.

Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, Oct. 16.-CUP)-Love is 8 beautiful thing, but they don't pay of on it at the race track.
 They still go by the numbers that flash on the board.
 If love conquered all, as the poets would have us believe, Ruth Arcaro would be 50 rich that her husband Eddie, never would have to slip into silks again, never would have to lift his whip to a thoroughbred in drive for the wire.
 Ruth has bet on Eddie when ever he goes to the post, and that's quite often since he is one of the country's great jockeys It doesn't matter what he's riding-a claim ing platter or stake champion -- she digs into her purse and plays her man to win.
 sat with Mrs. Arcaro at Jamaica yesterday-and it's a pleasure to sit with her, too, because she's as pretty as 10 to shot pulling away in the stretch-and talked to her about the life of jockey wife.
 "I'm slowly going broke" she said "Even if Eddie were riding a goat and the other boys were riding Challedon, Midland and Whirlaway I'd have to bet on him. Even when he tells me that his horses don't stand much of chance I go to the window just the same and get g ticket. Only twice since we have been married have I failed to bacl him. And was sorry. The first time was 8 year after we were married when he rode Lawrin to win tht Kentucky Derby"
 Retort Supreme
 The loudspeaker called that the horses were at the post and Mrs Arcaro scurried out to the club house porch. I stood beside her as Eddie rode the favorite, Wise AL ley. From the start to the finish all she said was "come on honey, come on honey, come on honey" But "honey" couldn't get Wise Alley tc win and as the field came back tc

COOPER CO=OPERATES IN COMISKEY COMEBACK


 New York. Oct. 16.-(UP)-Pat Comiskey. Paterson, N. J., heavy weight, took the first step along the comeback trail last night, by pounding cut an easy, 10-round de- cision over Henry Cooper of New York in the feature bout at the Bronx Coliseum.
 Comiskey, kayoed in one round by Maxie Baer several weeks ago, won every round. A crowd of B. 900 persons watched Comiskey, al- though failing to floor Cooper, pun ish the Negro boxer severely. Coop CT was bleeding from the nose, mouth and left eye at the finish.
 Comiskey weighed 203 IA, Cooper 194 3-4.

meantime, and if they enroll in a university.
 The, mixup comes up before a conference meeting for the first time in December, when the boys hope for fairer deal.
 They'll make fine soldierS-these three boys, but the fact remains that their education has been in- terrupted by high-pressure alumni rushing and promises.
 College men often do and col leges frequently stand for things of which they should be ashamed.
 But, meanwhile, it's national de- fense instead of a 6-2-2-1 for John ny Petrovich, Tharen Hodges and Chuck Petre.
 And if the 16Oth Infantry wants to play 8 little football, it has a pretty good nucleus.

this report was due to last-minute
coalition of waterway interests which
had opposed the bill all along, of
some agricultural organizations, and
of a portion of the railroad labor or
CARNATIONS, who switched their posi-
ton few days before the conference
report came to vote in the House.
The remainder of the railroad labor
organizations, however, representing
the men not engaged in train service,
stood firm in their original position.
Long Delay Probable.
In sending the bill back to con-
ference, the House instructed its con-
ferees to attempt to secure Senate
agreement to include three amend
ments which had been originally in
serted by the House, and had been
deleted by the conference committee.
The effect of these amendments is,
first, to forbid the Interstate Com
merce Commission to approve any
consolidation or coordination by rail-
roads, or any abandonment of serv-
ice by railroads, that might adversely
affect the employment of labor; sec
ond, to require railroads to match
any reductions made on manufac-
tured products for export with like
reductions on farm products; and,
third, to permit carriers to reduce
rates only when they can show to the
Interstate Commerce Commission that
the proposed reduced rate is fully
compensatory, covering not only OPP
Grating costs but also general over
head costs. The effect of the last
amendment, if not its purpose, would
be to prevent railroads from reduc-
ing rates to meet the competition of
subsidized water carriers, whose gen.
eral overhead costs are paid by the
taxpayers.
What the fate of the bill will be
remains to be seen. The railroad
labor organization which supported
the movement to recommit took the
position that they wanted the bill
quickly reconsidered and brought
back to the House for passage at this
session. The difficulties of doing so,
anu VI SCSI ing tllC ISCSSSdIy dSIec-
ment with the Senate, are so great,
however, that Majority Leader Ray
burn was probably right when he said,
during the debate, that to recommit
the bill meant to kill it so far as this
Congress is concerned.
If that is correct, it means another
delay of year or two years in get
ting this nation started toward a ma
tional policy of treating all forms of
transportation alike. Until we do that,
we shall continue to have trouble
some transportation problems
the chief sufferers will be those who
use transportation, and those who pay
taxes. All but three of Minnesota's
Representatives voted to recommit.
If no legislation is had at this session,
1 am afraid some will be left out
on limb.
