Yanks Play, Too

Whether or not the Tigers and
Browns will have the record by
Sunday night is doubtful. mas
much as the Yankees and Sena-
tors are expected TO pack more
than $4,000 persons into the huge
Yankee Stadium for an army and
navy relief double-header TO be
played at the same time as that
at the local park.
While there has been great
advance sale, tickets are still
available. Bleacher seats will go
on sale at 1870. Also there will
be some reserved seats and grand
stand tickets in the box offices
Sunday morning.
Up TO now. the National League
holds high honors with more than
$40. 900 raised by the Dodgers and
Giants at the Polo Grounds.

FALCO and MURRAY
TOP HARTFORD LIST

Hartford, March 81 - Central
Conn. fight fans have been treated
Of late to thrilling matches staged
by two unbeaten pro boxers, namely
Willie Pep Of Hartford and Tony
Falco of Middletown. Both have APP
peared on recent cards at Foot
Guard Hall and come through with
flying colors over varied opposition.
On Tuesday night Falco returns
TO battle 1t out over an eight-round
-2slte with o tough. hard hitting
youngster named Billy Murray, who
originally hailed from Bellaire,
Ohio but is now living here. The
20-year-old Ohioan has fought from
one end of the country to the other
IN the is months he has been scour-
ing the welterweight rangs for VIC
Tins of his polling right mitt. For he
has scored his share of knockouts
In his 40 ring duelS, losing but two
Of them.
Murray, a fighting Irishman who
has averaged close to one fight a
week during his career, has staged
extensive campaigns In California
and Florida before hitting for the
east. He also had a spot on the
Lesnevich- Pastor fight recently held
In Madison Square Garden.
This bout between Falco and
Murray tops a card that will in
clude four other fights. Falco goes
after his 10th victory, staging SEN
sational triumphs over Red" Doty
and AL Evans Of New Berford In re-
cent bouts here.
Last week Murray stopped vet
eran Freddie Foran in five heats,
pUmmelling Foran with pulverizing
rights in the fourth that brought
q declaration of armistice from the
East Hartford battler.
Like Falco, Murray also boosted
an undefeated record for some time
after launching his pro career late
in 1910. He strung out SO straight
victories before being beaten for the
first time, and after losing his sec
ond bout has run up another string
Of eight wins.

Naugatuck won It's way to the New

a scoring exhibition that eventually
eliminated Crosby AZ to A, but, In

In the process Of eliminating

Naugatuck had missed 10 Of itl

Earl was a winner only a short
TIME before he switched to Des
Moines Catholic College, now Dow
ling College. He recommended
Leahy to Michigan State and year
or two later when Leahy came east
with Crowley to Fordham the favor
was returned. Walsh got the Job
at Fordharn and he has been there
ever since. A few days ago, he was
raised to the post Of head coach.
It Is his big chance but 1t comes
at an Inflated time. Most Of the
boys who won the 1912 Sugar Bowl
game have been graduated or en-
listed In one Of the services. There
