PAWTUCKET TEAM
MEETS LITHS AGAIN

Wilson Farley g. Co, also referred
to as the Pawtucket Townies, pay
their second visit Of the season to st
Joseph's hall Saturday night to swap
baskets with the K Of L. hoopmen
in the feature game Of a crack twin
bill, which gets underway with st.
Joseph's Holy Name taking on New
Haven at 1880 in G. L. G. league
setto. The main go is billed for 9
o'clock.
Mr.. Farley, handsome gent,
standing five -four and tipping the
scales at q smooth 100, dumped in q
points with his one-hand specialties
as the clubs stage bristling over
time heart-pmper two months ago
the Knights overcoming a 31-19
deficit at the half to pull out with
a 60-56 triumph.
Showing "a points for his effort in
five games o yer three years against
the Liths, Farley has proved to be
one Of the greatest players ever to
perform at the Brooklyn hall. He's
as cool as a cucumber and also fea-
lures clever dribbling game and
deadly speed.
He's ably assisted In the scoring by
Alex ?Plociak, who registered %
points in 70-61 victory over the
Bridgeport st. Cyril's. A return game
recently saw the Townies lay it on
more impressively, 85-67. All over
the state the story has been the same
with points flying thick an dfast, re-
regardless of the opposition.

Today's Sport Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

Los Angeles, Feb. 8-(UP)-In
this ever changing world, in which
all is topsy-turvy. it is gratifying
and heartening to discover that there
are tens Of thousands left whose
faith remains mistaken.
To anyone who doubts mans faith
in man I recommend a ride to the
Santa Anita race track on any af-
ternoon the horses are running. The
last mile of the way, which runs
through a fertile valley, with the
snow-capped Sierra Madres looking
down from the north, is lined with
touts of all descriptions.
Each has horse to sell. Almost as
close together as the pickets of
fence they stand and shout their
wares. Something hot in the first.
Something sure in the second. A
sleeper in the third. A good thing in
the fourth. A shoo-in in the fifth.
A steal in the sixth. A breeE in the
seventh and getaway money in the
eighth.
For prices ranging from 10 cents
to 81 the touts will part with their
get-rich-quick information. To add
stability and importance to their
choices in the days racing the Sc
lections are printed on paper. The
touts know that one of the earmarks
of an American is willingness to
swallow and believe anything that
is printed on paper.
The tip sheets sell faster than Sea-
biscuit can run. Green sheets, pink
sheets, red sheets, blue sheets, and
white sheets, they are bought and
digested as if their authors were
Margaret Mitchell, Arnold Bennett
and John Steinbeck. No one ever
seems to stop to think that man
who has winners to sell doesn't have
to sell winners on the sides Of a
street.
Poor Business
The very fact that man, down
at the heels, shabby of cuff and col
lar, has to peddle tip sheets is proof
that what is in them Is no good
on earth. If the information was
worth the ink required to print it
the sellers would be at the track bet
ting the information instead of SELL
ing it. Give any one of the sellers Of
the sheets real information for a
week and he could build more IL
braries than Carnegie, more medical
centers than Rockefeller, and OUT
Guggenheim Guggenheim.
1t is an amazing picture of Amer
lean thought and life to watch the
cars slow down and their owners
buy the phoney sheets. Bankers who
question the loan of 50 to some de-
serving soul with collateral, lean
bithely out Of the windows Of their
limousines and purchase the hot
things for the day. They never seem
to stop to consider that each Of the
tout sheets has as many solicitors as
there are horses in race, and that
each selector picks q different nag.
In this manner someone Is certain
to name a winner and make 1t pos
sible for the sheet to advertise the
following day that one of Its wise
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-02-08

and knowing men came through with
a winner.
Some of the more prosperous
sheet owners operate from offices
and advertise in the papers. Suckers
are told that for so much week
wire information will be sent them,
letters in a secret code will be deliv-
cred at their doors, and masked
delivery boys will sneak them tips
direct from the feed box. Many Of
the tip sheet tycoons own portable
printing presses and crowds leav-
ing track are sold sheets Dragging
of the days triumphs and ANNOUNCE
ing tomorrow's can't-miss selec-
tons.
No one knows the extent of the
tip sheet business. But 1t must be
tremendous. Santa Anita is not the
only one whose approaches are lined
with them. The same is true at
Hialeah. Belmont, Tropical, Fair,
grounds, Washington Park, Sara
toga, and all the others. My guess
is that 1t is a publishing business
that would make Simon and
Schuster, Alfred Knopf, and Dou-
bleday Doran look like job printers.

TENNIS MOGULS
SPIKE MATCHES
FOR finn FUND
"Open" Play Of Amateur
Against Professionals
Discouraged
BY PAUL sCHEFFELs

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Feb. 8.-(UP)-The
Finnish Relief Fund received its
first setback in sports today when
the United States Lawn Tennis as
ISOLATION, through its President Hoi-
combe Ward, opposed open tennis
matches for Finnish or any other
kind of relief.
Ward, in letters to Bryan (Bitsy)
Grant, former Davis Cup player now
in Florida, made known the atti-
tude of the association toward pro-
posed exhibition matches between
the highest ranging amateur and
professional players.
The association believed, Ward
said, that it would be unwise to
make a precedent. 1t thought 1t
would be impossible to favor one
charitable organization and deny
others.
Such a course, the officials fig
ured, would lead to so many calls
upon the time of players and ten
mis- officials that the association
would lose sight Of its primary pur-
pose, the promotion of amateur ten
mis-.
Retard Game?
Ward believed that amateur and
professional matches would retard
the development Of the amateur
tennis game because I think it will
result in few tournaments in which
the rank and file of amateurs can
meet in competition, our leading
amateurs and that the tendency
would be for clubs to give up am
ateur tournaments.
Suppose the matches were to be
permitted. believe that our club
and others would be inclined 10
hold a brief series of exhibitions be-
tween say the first four top-ranking
amateurs and four of the best pro-
fessionals.
"And then what of the other 80
ranking players VINO were left out
Of the tournament? They would
not get the competition against the
top-ranking amateurs which they
have been getting for years.
'The whole thing might lead to
involving the association in re-
ligious, political and other matters
outside its province, which is mainly
the strengthening of amateur ten
mis-"
The U. S. L. T. A. has been
adalmant for years against the Oft
proposed open" tennis tournament.

WAGNER, NONNENKAMP
SIGNED MY RED SOX

Boston, Feb. 8.-(UP)-The signed
1910 contracts Of pitcher Charles
Wagner and outfielder Leo Nonnen-
kamp were on file at the Boston
Red Sox office today.
Wagner, star hurler for Min
neapolis of the American Associa-
ton in 1887, will be making his
third trip to a Red Sox training
camp. He pitched several games
for Boston at the end Of the 1899
season after playing with their
Louisville farm club.
Nonnenkamp, utility outfielder
hand pinch hitter, played in So
games for the Red Sox and batted
less than $50 last season.

MUST ACT AS WELL AS
PAINTING PACHYDERMS

The better wrestling referees have
become such part Of the show that
they must act as well as the painting
pachydermS.
Bone benders object to old boxers
starting a count tvery time they go
down under rabbit punch.
Boxing and wrestling simply don't
mix.
Hans Steinke found that out one
night in Los Angeles when after due
preparation he launched what he be-
lieved would tie a sustained drive for
the heavyweight boxing champion
ship. For a starter, they tossed the
German in with a negro named Tim
Hawkins, and who could box like
blazes.
Huge Hans lunged at Long Tom
for round and a fraction while
getting his nose peppered with left
jabs good and plenty.
Steinke grew tired of this before
the second heat was half over E.
decided to return to what he knew
best pronto.
Gloves and all, he fastened a ham,
merlock on Hawkins.
The booing could be heard in San
Francisco as Steinke glued the
startled Hawkins shoulder blades to
the canvas, but that was all right
with Hans. He took his customary
bows from the four sides Of the
ring.
Hans Steinke had won his way
and in his own mind, and was glad
to get out of there.

WILLIAMS, ABLE
new HAVEN BOY
ON LOCAL CARD
Stellar Welter to F a c e
Cartegena = Thompson,
Craven In Main Go

Color and class in admirable
abundance is the order Of the eve
ming tomorrow, now that Micky
Williams of New Haven has been
signed to meet Benny Cartegena Of
New York. That six rounder alone
should rival the top bout for action,
In which Baby Jack Thompson and
Irish Jack Craven of Philadelphia
are paired for eight rounds. Then
there's Danny williams of Schnec-
tady who has won II bouts without
defeat, according to Robert Kieck-
hefer Kelly of the Waterbury A. C.
who has seen williams in action,
and swears on a stack of Waldorf
wheats that Villains will be more
Of sensation than Thompson, the
colored boy who beat Dick Turcotte
at Holyoke two weeks back.
Four Stars
In Mickey williams and Eddie
Elm, Thompson and Danny Will
lams, who is a colored boy, there is
a club-fighting black and white
foursome that should delight every
fan on hand when the first bell
rings. Elm is paired with Irish Billy
Kelly Of New York, while Danny
Williams meets Nat Kolin, Jewish
battler able to hold his own with
high class competition.
Cartegena very nearly stopped
Tommy Carlo in the first round
here two weeks ago, but Tom got
off the floor and stopped Benny
cold. They were to have met again
tomorrow, but Carlo is i'll, Armand
Renault Of Holyoke was signed in
his place but is too heavy and then
the pleasant surprise of signing Will
liams, the New Haven welterweight
who coul ddraw 5000 worth of Gus
toners in an outdoor bout at New
Haven were he matched with Dick
Turcotte. That's how good he Is.
