TED BISHOP NEW N. E. GOLF CHAMP
Favored Mandy } and 2 Loser at New Haven;
 Winner From Behind

New Haven, Conn, Aug. 4-(UP) Ted Bishop, an ice cream sales man from Auburndale, Mass, is the New England amateur golf champion, and he won the title the hard way.
 Bishop, who has been trying to win this tournament for six years finally came through Sunday, de- feating Holly Mandy, Jr., Weth- ers-field, 3 and 2, in 36-hole final round match over the New Haven Country club course.
 Mandy entered the fray the favorite because he already had won the New England title twice, and was shooting to become the first player to win it three times. But Bishop, former Massachusetts state champion, didn't let the cali- Der of his competition sway him.
 He came from behind on the first IS to become all even at the end of the first round, and then gradually swept s1iead until the match ended on the 34th hole. Bishop started in ragged fashion, but recovered spectacularly.
 He was three down starting on the 18th hole of the first round, but then won three holes in row to pull even. He never was threat ened after that.
 Bishop takes over the crown held last year by Leo Martin, Weston, Mass, who was knocked out in the first round.

 GARD THURSDAY
Angieri, -Montabana in Companion 8 ROnnder;
 Bell ys PrOzereIli

Feeling that they have. a fistic double-h eader that should bring out the ringwor1ns in an even greater number than the 1,7OO who saw the program last week, Water bury A. c. officials have lined up three of five buots for this week Thursday at Randolph Gloves Stadium. Three of tn e six princi- pals, Carl Dell of Oneanta, N. r., Mike Angieri of Inwood, Long Is- land and Jimmy Bell of New Haven need no local introductions, as the trio have been tried and tested and found not wanting, for Dellis de- feat of Ernie Cat Robinson: Angi- eri's job on Mel Miller last winter at Buckingham Hall and Jimmy Bells all-around ring work in Con- necticut will easily be remembered, and it is believed, the fans will act accordingly, by attendingin large numbers.
 Both Beat Robinson
 Dell, who has been taking things "easy" because of an eye injury is is shap once again, and, in Manuel Villa of Mexico City who like Dell hasdefeated Cat Robinton, is ex- pected to get the toughest sort of opposition. Both baout the same size in weight and height, Dell and Villa should put on a slugeroo that will leave nothing to be desired. A win for Dell, if decisive at all, will assure him of a match with Irish Eddie Dolan, whichhas been his ob. jective for more than year.
 Angier1, who madea whale of showing in hisone local appearance when he punched holesin Neil Mill. CT, the shifty Pennsylvania pugilist, Is expected to get the toughest kind ofa fight from Ben Montabana, ot Birmingham, Alabama. Training ir NewYork Monty has made quite ar impression, and, if he can take the measure of Angieri, on the strength of the latter's local showing last winter, ,Montabana will be in line for plenty of work.
 Jimmy Bell of New Haven, signed for last weeks card, but removed when the opposition wouldn't take him, has been definitely signed and sealed for this weeks embroglios. a six rounder with Jimmy Prazeralli of Wilkes Bare.
 Other bouts will the announced tonight or tomorrow.

Yankees Crowd Big Show Out of Stadium, Chicago Lands NOva-LOuis Battle, Sept. 25, and Jacobs
 Gets $50, 1000 Evtra for Himself

MonopoliSt Jacobs answers that one quickly. He has 25,OO0 more good seats at Yankee tSadium.
 But the real reason Jacobs leans to Chicago is that he pays the New York baseball people 10 per cent of the net receipts.
 He can have Comiskey Park for $20,000 flat, and no questions asked.
 If Nova and Conn gross $750, 900, which they are quite likely to do, that would mean net saving to Jacobs of something more than $50,000, share of the swag that would have to be cut up with nobody but the old Broadway ticket scalper himself.
 Jacobs tried out this plan with gratifying results in connection with the Bra6dock-LouiS engagement, which grossed $750O0O at Comiskey Park, June 9. 1897.
 Uncle Mike was then peddling an old champion who hadn't fought in two years and who was not given much of a chance to successfully defend the title.
 He now has champion who is still In full bloom tackling the strongest contender he has met to date.
 Nova is an cid story in New York, and was not too impressive time or two.
 Jacobs stresses the point that the Negro population of the south side Is vastly more Louis and fight con- SciouS at the bucks office than are the people of Harlem.
 Not having had a major produc- tion since Louis bumped of Jim Braddcok more than four years ago, Chicago is ripe and hungry for an- other.
 Jacobs is assured of an enthusias- tic press.
 The many railroads running in and out of Chicago promise full cooperation. Jacobs contends that many of New York's ringsiders would welcome an excuse to get away from home. There would be special trains from big cities within easy access of Chicago, such as De- troit and Cleveland, and from as far away as California.
 Sheldon Clark's first gesture to- ward landing the scrap for Chicago was to order $50,000 worth of ducats. Clark is the oil tycoon who is chair man of the Illinois Boxing Commis- sion.
 Dempsey and Tunney drew 102,450 paid admissions and the largest gate in ring history-$2, ,65S, ,660-in Chicago, Sept. 3, 1927.
 Mike Jacobs feels that it is time to tap this rich territory again. since he has more than $50, 900 extra riding for himself.

New York, Aug Unless Mike Jacobs changes his mind, or is talked out of it, Lou Nova will fight Joe Louis at Comiskey Park, Chi- cago, Sept. 25.
 The Yankees are home practically the entire month of September, in- cluding the 18th and 18th, the pre- ferred dates.
 Taking his cue from the late Tex Rickard, Promoter Jacobs tries to stage outadoor productions on Thursday nights. That gives him Friday in case of rain.
 Sept. 25 is the ideal date because 1t follows Jewish New Years, Sept. 21-22-23, among other things.

BOROUGH GIANTS
 CONQUER BRAVES
Pete Brennan Hurls Sixth Straight Victory; Mini-
 cuCci Hits Hard

Naugatuck, Aug. 4.-The Ward Street Giants made it two straight over Bill Baukat's Braves Friday night at Ward field, pounding out a 10 to 2 victory.
 Invincible Pete Brennan made it six straight in his victory column and he was never in trouble after the early lead given him by his teammates. Albie Raytkwich start ed on the mound for the Braves, giving way to Ray Currier in the fourth inning. Neither pitcher could check the onslaught of the Giants hitters. D. Minicucci connected for two long four baggers and Ron Schopp became the first player to drive ball over the left field in a regulation contest. Dick Tuckey, of football game, achieved that fete during batting practice last season. but no other player before Schopp has cleared the barried in regu- lar game.
 The Giants edge might have been larger but for the sensational defensive work of the Braves out fielders. Jack Hackett made sen sational running catch of a line drive over second and Frank Klon- oski went back against the center field fence to make a spectacular juggling catch of Minicuci's long fly.
 J. Minicucci turned in his second unassisted double play in as many games, while Arnold and Schopp also starred defensivelg. Bill Bau- kat regained some of his old time form at third base for the Braves and with Raytkwich at shortstop, provided a strong left side of the infield.
 The high point of the game oc- cured in the last inning when Pete Brennan famed a heavy hitting Louis Freyermuth for the final out.
 The Giants meet the Beacon Falls TopnotcherS in a return match at Beacon Falls tonight.
