HUBBARD TOURNEY PROGRAM DROPPED
Memorial Golf Competition Postponed to Conserve
 Tires and Gas

Because of recent critical war and rationing developments and the strong feeling by OPA officials and many industrialists that all unnec- essary travel is contrary to the spirit of sacrifice needed in these times, the General Tournament commit tee has cancelled the E. Kent Hub bard Memorial Golf tournament scheduled at the Norwich Golf club for Sunday, August 2nd. While the committee sincerely regrets the ne- cessity for this action, it bows to the inevitable need for no-time- lost on war production and the maximum saving of tires and gaso- line.
 However, in order to carry on the annual competition for the E. Kent Hubbard Memorial trophy, your committee has decided on a plan as follows:
 l. That each team of five Up tc 18 players now entered, or who may wish to enter the contest, may play off 18 holes on an accredited near by course during the week of Au- gust 8th to Rich F. Berry, treasurer of the Committee, in care of The Manufacturers Association of Con- necticut, 436 Capitol Avenue, Hart ford, to count for the trophy.
 2. The tournament will be fol the express purpose of competing for the E. Kent Hubbard Memoria bowl which will be retained for ont year by the winning team. All in. dividual prizes have been elimi. mated.
 3. That the winning team will bt notified and the trophy awarded ,tc 1t on Sunday, August 9th, or at any other mutually agreeable time, ir MT. Hubbard's former office at tht headquarters of The Manufacturer. Association, 436 Capitol Avenue Hartford.
 It Is hoped that all teams now en. tered (whose money for entries vii be returned next week. will par. ticipate in the contest as well a! many other industrial team! throughout the state. Notification of new entries must be in the hand! of Howard Humiston, Chairman O the Entries Committee, in care O Winchester Repeating Arms Com. pany, New Haven, or Richard Berry at the Association, on or before Au gust 1, 1942.

LARKS HOLD LEAD
 IN BOCCI LEAGUE

Naugatuck, July 27-The Molding Meadow Larks widened their lead to two games by defeating the Cut ting Canaries in the U. s. Rubber Go. Bocci league recently.
 The Making Marsh Swallows took two games from Pichulo's Parrots to move into a 2nd place tie with the Cutting Canaries.
 The upset of the evening was the defeat of the Planning Pelicans three games by Schlosser's Sea Gulls.
 Three more matches remain on the schedule.
 The individual stars of the eve ming were: Louis Russo of Making Marsh Swallows, Al Signotti o1 MolGing Meadow Larks, Tommy Palmieri and Ray Conoroli of the Boot Room Blackb;rds, Fed Yack- owski and Nick Mariana of Schlos- ser's Sea Gulls, and Frank Mon- tone and Doc Aquavia of Montone'S MagpieS.

self together if dumped this trip by the Harlem jitterbug who fights in flurries and whose style is so pleas ing to the trade.
 They met in Philadelphia just 8 year ago. In the second round, Robinson nailed Angott with a right to the chin which sent the Washington Pa, mauler sprawl ing to the canvas. It did not seem that Angott could pull himself back into one piece, but he man. aged to stagger to his pins and survive the pounding he took for the balance of the round.
 ANGOTT WAGES
 UPHILL BATTLE
 Starting with the third round, Angott began terrific uphill fight and by the time the tenth and final round arrived had almost brought the contest to even terms.
 Robinson got the decision, but veteran observers believed Angott most surely would have scored had the scrap been 12-rounder. The Negro youth was thoroughly spent at the finish.
 Angott's story is that he took Robinson for nobody then and will be on his toes this time.
 But he also will find that Rob- inson has come long way since their last outing.
 Robinson is the last fighter to win from Angott, who went on from there to win clear claim to the lightweight leadership in joust with Looney Lew Jenkins. Among less important starts, Angott twice repelled Bob Montgomery in non- title affairs and successfully de- ] tended his crown by grace of g highly debatable decision over Allie Stolz.
 Robinson, in the year since he fought Angott, moved out of the lightlight division into the welter. DICKINSON HAS WON 121 FIGHTS IN ROW
 He has the remarkable record of being unbeaten in 121 fights 89 as an amateur and 32 as pro- fessional. As a simon-pure he knocked out 63, as pro25. He repelled Soast Guardsman Marty Servo in his last start-a sizzler.
 Robinson will weigh around 142 Angott 138.
 Sammy Angott has way of mak- ing the other fellow look worse than he does, but it will take 8 lot of crowding, elbowing and heeling to make a show of showy Sugar Rob- inSon.

BLACK YANKEES PLAY BRASSCOS
 IN MITE SETTO
Negro Stars at Stadium Wednesday,; New York
 Cubans Here Saturday

There's one thing that they can't say about Fred Davi, the manager of Waterbury,s new seD1i-pro ball club, the Brasscos; they can't say that he is easily discouraged. Far from it. This morning Promoter Davi announced that he Is booking two night attractions for the Mu- n!cipal stadium this week., one for Wednesday night and the other for Saturday.
 'If there's any truth to this law of averages business" said Davi over the phone this morning, things got to turn my way sooner or later".~ Davi had just given mo- tice that he has received signed contracts from the New York Black Yankees for a return game here Wednesday night and also from the much talked about New York Cu- bans for an appearance here Sat- urday night.
 Two of three games that Davi has already attempted to stage have been postponed. First there was the one with the Black Yankees that had to be called off on ac- count of broken lighting equipment which couldn't be replaced because of government priority rules; the other, the New York Police game which was cancelled Saturday night because the Cops sent word that they couldn't get gas for their cars. However, when the Yankees did come here week ago Friday night, and the lights were installed, the response of the fans was so great that Davi decided to face all handi- caps as they came and continue his efforts to present the best exhibi- tions possible. "As long as the fans will support it," said Davi. "I1l give them the attractions. The Black Yankees and New York Cubans are only two of the many clubs which the Naugatuck chap will bring here this season.
 In the opening game with the Yankees, there were several gaping holes in the Brassco defent that were responsible for the defeat of the team. These will be strength ened this week. The pitching was okay, but even In this department too, Davi promises able relief hurl- CTS.
 The games Wednesday and Sat- urday night will start one-half hour earlier than before, which means 8:30.
 Negro League Notes | The Kansas City MonarchS. Win- ners of the Negro American league championship for the fifth straight ] year last season. will appear against the New York Cuban Stars at the Yankee stadium next Sunday as part of double header. The Balti- more Elite Giants and Philadelphia Stars will hook up in the other half. Satchel Paige will pitch for the Monarchs and, it is reported, will receive $2000 for his afternoons work. The Black Yankees de- feated the Hartford Savitt Gems in both ends of double header last Friday night, thereby making it four times in row this season that the Gems have taken 1t on the chin from the colored stars The night after the Brooklyn Royal Col ored Giants defeated the City League All-Stars here at Hamilton park last week, the Bridgeport Col ored Stars beat them. 2 to o, behind the four-hit pitching of Alex New kirk of New Haven. The most wanted team for transforming en- agreements, but the hardest to get right now, is the famous Bushwicks of New York.
