(BY LEFTY) Observations

Back from her vacation on Dude ranch, June Warner found the seats at Mattatuck alleys somewhat un- comfortable. What with all the new income tax laws, Doris Braun in going to have plenty of trouble around March IS, figuring how much of the swag which she won betting with less skiIlful male bowl CTS, rightly belongs to the U. S. Treasury. Evelyn Blankfield was bowling under mental strain. Ter rible Ted By and Maraudering Mary Noonan form 8 combination that is very disconcerting to oppo- nents. When Mary got her fourth mark in row she gave out with a variety of yells that would have put . Fiji Island cannibal to shame.
 Coming Events
 Operative X64 informs me that already Vice-Prexy filling G. West has started the ball rolling for the annual Halloween party. Members will be asked for their preferences as to place, date. menu and other pertinent matters before any of1cial decision is arrived at. Every former party has been so successful that nothing will be left undone to bring this years frolic up to previous af- fairs. Lefty hints that there may be something unusual in the way of en- tertainment.
 On The Ball

 It's Sheer Glander
 We have positive proof that there is no truth whatsoever in the report that Esther Mccarthy pratices bowling every morning from seven- thirty until five minutes of eight in the Freight street Service Building yard.

(Reg. U. s. Pat. of1.)
By JACK CUDDY


 United Press Staff COrreSpOndent) New York, Oct. 2-(UP)-They're trying to get young Ray Robinson licked tonight. They believe that a beating will be the best thing that ever happened to Robinson of Harlem, the streamlined young Ne gro who has registered 35 straight professional victories.
 So they've tossed him into the ring with a middleweight, Jack LaMotta of the Bronx, who will out weigh Robinson about 158 pounds to 144-or IA pounds.
 Robinson accepted this match be- cause he figures there's no more worthwhile competition in the 147- pound division because CD Cham pion Freddie Cochrnae. now in the Navy, has been ordered to Pearl Harbor, CD FTitzie Zivic is cam- paigning in the west. and (3) Jackie Wilson of Los Angeles is in the Army and may not be permitted to fight.
 Gives Weight
 Hence it is that young Robinson, Harlem's dancing dynamiter, moves out of his class for an opponent. He is willing to pack the saddle-load of about IA pounds to square of against the human tank" LaMotta, who has suffered but four defeats in his 39 bouts. And LaMotta at q, is the same age as Robinson, and guy who's been fighting mid dleweightS.
 They're fighting only ten rounds at Madison Squrae Garden but that distance is quite enough to deter mine whether slender Robinson shall continue in his role of one of the greatest fighters that ever lived or whether he must bow to 6 grand "club fighter" in the division above him.
 Personally we believe that Robin- son will overcome the weight handi- cap and knock out the bigger man. We expect Ray to belt out his big ger adversary within six rounds.
 Robinson, the greatest ail-round fighter we ever have seen, enters the ring a 2-i favorite. despite the difference in poundage. And we say the odds are right because we be- ileve that no human being within 30 pounds of RobnsoTl's weight has any chance against him. Hes that fast-that clever-and that explo- slve with either hand. Moreover Robinson hos the Sootwork. He car knock you dead with either hand while he's sliding away.
 But it may De that LaMotta will give him plenty of trouble. LA. Motta is . guy who keeps pressing lorwaFd-alWay in close, where Robinson doesn't like Co fight. Ane T.AMotla la q tough kid who nevel has been knocked eut-and whi has beaten such promising middle weights e Jimmy Reeves ane 3lm'

LEAvENWORTH
 IMPRESSIVE IN
 OPENING GAME
Tracy's Tech Team Takes 6-2 Night Game in Final
 Period

Commercial High schools foot ball forces from New Haven, it's coach Ralph Miller, and the Elm City prognosticators who believed Leavenworth High of Waterbury to be "warm-up" opponent for the past two seasons, now have good reason to take another large THINK-from the other direction. About a year ago. Coach Bill Tra- cey's Tech travelling troupe trek ked to New Haven in the role of "pushovers" according to advance dope, but neither team was able to score. Tech won one of those moral" victories, and this year did it up brown by defeating Commer- cial under the lights last night at Municipal Stadium before 1,500 fans.
 The score was 6 to 2, Leaven- worth scoring in the last period on a 45 yeard aerial Genovese to Carey which put the ball on the Commer- cial II, and in three plays, one an offside which made it first down and five yards to go, culnlin- ated in a touchdown when Valunas crashed from the Commercial three to the pay-dirt section, for the score that won the ball game. A running play for the point after touchdayn fizzled.
 Not So Bad
 Considerable fumbling was on tap, a natural thing for high school boys in their first game, and at night. Galante, dropping the kickoff to the Leavenworth 30, the Commercial quarterback recovering. In no time, Commercial had the ball on the Tech g, but the local line got tough, held for downs, got the ball, then was the victim of bad pass from center which wound up in the end zone as Leavenworth's Valunas fell on it behind his own line, giving Commercial two points for & safety.
 As expected Commercial passed plenty in the last few minutes, but Tech was there on aerial defense, and the game was won with first downs for Tech to 4 for the visitors.
