Shut Out Doubtful
 Starter In Travers
By UNITED PRESS

| GreenCree stables StCut-hearted Shut Out heads a small field of four named for the 73rd running of the $25, ,000 Travers stakes at Saratoga today.
 The liver-coated son Of Equipoise will start on fast track only and will have to carry top-weight of 130 pounds over mile andone quarter strip. A crowd of about 15,0OO is ex- pected to send Shut Out and a stablemate Buckskin to the post as one-to- three favorites.
 In the event of Footing prevails Shut Out will be scratched and the Travers-the oldest stake of the American turf-will become wide open affair with Buckskin being op- posed by Belair studs Trierarch and Foxcatcher Farms Star Beacon. Buckskin will carry 115 and the other two 112 each.
 Dark Horse In
 Shut Out five time stake winner this year and undisputed three year-o!d King, Is at his best and should have little trouble if he starts. His stablemate won the Ken ner stakes last Tuesday in an open gallop defeating Trierarch without any trouble. Star Beacon Is the dark horse of the field, having closed in Whirlaway fashion in his last start the mile Saranac Handicap.
 Eddie Arcaro is slated to ride Shut Out while Wayne D. Wright will pilot Buckskin. Jimmy Stout will handle Triesarch and Johnny Gill; bert will be on Star Beacon.
 Greentree will be shooting for its second Travers victory, having won back in 1891 with the immortal Twenty Grand.
 Fitz Has Three
 The other feature on the spa card Is the $10000 Spinaway Stakes, a six furlong whir{ for two-year-old Allies. Thirteen have been named, with Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons send- ing out the probable betting choice in his three-ply entry of Flight. Adventurous and Navigating. Hal Price Headley's Askmenow. fleet daughter of Menow, and Woodvale farms stretch running "Our Page" are also expected to be well played.
 The $70000 Washington Park Fu- turity holds the Chicago racing spotlight. Occupation, the top two- year-old developed in the middle west this season, will probably go to the post at even money. A field of 10 other juveniles will face Oc- cupation, property of John Marsch a Chicago contractor. He will carry 122 pounds Second choice will probably be John Hertz Count Fleet.
 Founders Best?
 At Narragansett the 5000 King Phillip handicap will be contested over mile and one-sixteenth route. Founders, recently conqueror of Whirlaway is the top-weight horse at 116. He will meet Hysterical, l14: Red Moon, 107: The Finest, 114; Ksar of Audley, 11o; Love Day, 1l0; valdina Valet, 100; Tragic Ending.

 Sunday

With the last weeks schedule be- ing held over until this week due to the washout a week ago, the City Amateur league is able to offer again four top notch contests at the Hamilton Park field.

 The two curtain raiserS on the days card brings together the Over looks and the Avigliar1es on dia- mond No. 2 while Mill Plain and the North End Thomas club clash in the first diamond tilt.
 With but two weeks left in the season after tomorrow, the Brooks can practically clinch at least a tie for second round honors by defeat ing the Hills. However, the Hills plan to send Handsome Patty Quil- ter to the hill against the boys from across the bridge, and Patty is one boy who can give Mgr. Danny Grump's charges plenty of trouble Pat is a great spot pitcher; there when the chips are down, and today will be one day when he will be in a spot made toorder for him. Pop Doyle will do thecatching for the Hills. Ted Grabeck, New Haven star, will be on the hill for the Brooks with Mike Haiday behind the bat.
 In the other feature game, the "new" Tribunes, showing a host oi new faces, will meet the Sacred Hearts on diamond No. 2. The Tribes will probably have Dom Gurrera on the hill with Joe Rim aldi catching. Lefty Wise is slated for the Heart assignment with the versatile Bill Adams behind the plate.
 In the openers of the afternoons program, the hard-hitting Overlooks are slated for action against the Aviglianese on the No. 2 diamond an dit is one contest that the Looks must win in order to stay in the running for second round hono,s Bob Malone will go for the Looks while Angel Basile or Frankie Place will work for the North Finders.

INDIAN GOMEZ
 OF CUBA EDGES
 JERRY FIORELLO
Roach Defeats DOugherty Without Trouble; May
 Sign Negro and Ivy

A last minute substitute, 135- pound Indian Gomez, a fresh im- portation from Cuba, and Jerry F'iorello, tough, hard-hitting Brook lyn, N. Y, welterweight, put on 8 slugeroo last night at Randolph Cloves Stadium that. made the Kelly Walker, Turcotte- -Holihan and World War fights pale into in- significance by comparison. Despite the fact that threatened rain caused the Waterbury A. c. promoters to call off the show and then put 1t "or" again, nearly HOO fans "took chance" the rain held off until midnight, and, as result, one of the greatest shows of the outdoor season came to successful con- clusion. A last round drive got the verdict for Gomez.
 WhistliEg Willie Roach of Wil- mington, Delaware slugged Matt Dougherty of Milwaukee into sub- mission in the companion eight rounder, being 50 far ahead going into the final round that the Negro boy "carried" his rival, who had one eye completely closed and did not have chance to win, except by a knockout which he did not have the strength to produce. It was one of the incest bits of ring sportsman ship turned in for some time, rem- iniscent to many of the time Jimmy McLarnin allowed Benny Leonard to "stay" for six rounds, rather than knock out the formerly great light weight champion, who decided to try one of those "comebackS" after he had passed his prime.
 Ivy to Show
 As a result of Roach's great show irg last night Dougherty having outpointed him last week, Bobby Ivy of Hartford may be induced to meet Roach in Waterbury next week or the week after. An Irish Eddie Dolan-Leo Kodak match is also Ion the fire"
 One of the best things that ever happened was the absence of Larney Moore, scheduled to meet Fiorello, for Gomez provided a brand of bat ting, nearly matched by Fiorello that is seen about once in 20 fights AlClC1 ulCAC VI @iAy WAIOAC' 14OW oO much action could be packed into eight rounds, 90 percent of 1t old- fashioned toe to toe slugging is something you would have to see to try to figure out.
 PreIimS
 Al Renick of Hartford, 152 and Wifle Shanks, 154 of Long Island went four heats to Mexican stand- off and that bout got the fans in good humor. Spec Wiley of Union City at 181 got disputed nod over Tony Cole, 183, of L. l., and Don Mclean, substituting for Ham Will loughby of New York who was grabbed in Fairfield for speeding to- ward Waterbury to make the show. stopped 18-year-old Ranus Rogers of West Palm Beach, Florida, a 124-pounder. Willoughby arrived in time to be introduced just before Mclean and Rogers answered the bell for round one.

Hartenberg Named To Start Against
 Colored Giants

Johnny Hardenberg, only pitcher in the state to turn back the fa- nous Black Yankees, will be on the mound for Fred Davis Waterbury Brasscos tonight when the locals engage the crack Brooklyn Royal Colored Giants in their fifth arch- light game at the Municipal Stad- ium starting at 8:45. Hardepberg, a right handler by trade, much sought after by the Hartford Gems and West Haven Sailors, has cast his lot with the Brasscos and will make his debut with them tonight.
 Manager Davi also announced this morning that he was trying to obtain the services of Carl Verder- anne, former Boardman Trade school and Bi-State pro loop in Virginia star, and that the addition of the left-hander would give the Brasscos well rounded pitching staff of five starters including Ucich, Harden berg, Mariana, Smullen and Verder- anne.
 The Brooklyn Royals have yet to lose game to Connecticut semi pro club and already list the Hart ford Savitts, West Haven Sailors, Bridgeport Colored Stars, and Stam- ford Pioneers as their victims as well as the City Amateur league All Stars of this city.
 The negro club is under the cap- able direction of player-manager Johnny Beckwith, the Babe Ruth of Colored Baseball. Beck" takes his old spot at first base now and then but is not playing as often as he has in the past because of the sensational playing of young Doc Garrsion.
 The starting lineups of the two teams tonight will be as follows: RrOnkIvn Royals RraSScNS
