Racing Notes

Organizations such as the ALL
Pacific Recreation Fund and others
which send sports equipment abroad
to fighting men, can hardly ship
horses around the world, but rae

not Stumped.

Bronx, New York, recently return

A group of air force men in desert

with judges stand; bought 10 horses
from the natives and held racing
thrice weekly.
One private volunteered to put up
a slate and make book but the

enterprise.

New York, June 6.-(UP)-storm
70 trnings futtered along Jacobs
Beach today as Katy jenkins, the
pistol-packin' mamma from Texas,
re-entered the fight game.
Katy-ex-wife of the ex-light-
weight champion Lew Jenkins-an-
nounced that she was returning to
pugilism as manager of a stable
of fighters and as the proprietoress
Of training camp, If she could buy
q suitable camp.
In the Money
Colorful Katy hinged her an
nouncement on the purchase of a
we'll known New York lightweight,
Carmine Fatta. Previously she had
obtained lightweight Harold Valan
but guys in the know said that Katy
had planked down "pah-lenty"-
particularly for 25-year-old Fatta,
who is riding string of 16 straight
victories. It seems that Katy is 'in
the dough-, having emerged from
her tiffs with ex-champion jenkins
and a whirl in Florida real estate
with a B.R. Of about fifty grand.
1t is rumored that she paid IS 600
cash to Manager Fred Amorosa for
Fatta's contract, merely because she
had seen Fatta floor ex-husband
Jenkins back when Fatta was spar
ring partner for Larruping Lew.
Had Katy been affluent in 1910
or even in al, she might have paid
Fatta ten grand for dumping Mr.
Jenkins-now in the Coast Guard If
England. The Mr.. and Mrs. jenkins
of those days gained almost as much
space in the New York press witt
their marital brawls, as did Johnny
Weissmuller and Lupe Valez in Hol-
lywood.
Anyway Katy got divorced from
Lew in July 1912. Clutching her
butter-knife firmly at yesterday
luncheon, she added: But we're still
friends"
Why does Katy-a good looking
gal in her middle 20s-return to
cauliflower canyon?-where only q
few women have ventured before
like Nav Stribling, 'Leaping Lena
Levinsky. Jimmy Hatcher's wife and
the late Madame Bey.
Katy explains, There's excite
ment and money in the fight game
I crave INDEPENDENTLY excite
ment."

Lack Of Derby And PreoIness Glamour
Made Bounding Home Belmont Long Shot
BY HARRY GRAYSON
(NEA Sports Editor

New York, June civilian Zieg-
Ter, Jr., got the racing urge upon
seeing romantic Black Gold win the
Kentucky Derby of 1924.
Fabulously wealthy Bill Ziegler
thought 1t would be nice to bag the
Run for the Roses, so he drafted
away from the field trial dogs to
breed his own horses.
A fourth place in four attempts
was all owner ziegler got in the
Derby, following which he decided
that the big number at Churchill
Downs came a bit too early for his
stock.
Anyway, Bounding Home, winner
of the 10th and richest Belmont
Stakes, wintered and trained at
Belmont Park, was not nominated
for either the Derby or The Freak
ness.
And It was the lack of Derby
and Preakness glamor that sent
the Acknowledged son of Espi-
no-Marching Home by John P. Grier
to the post in the Belmont at the
fictitious price of better than l6 to

OAKV|LLE GIRLS
SURPRISE OF
SOFTBALL LOOP

The I. r. A. Girls Softball League
came through its third week of play
with all the favorites posting wins
with the exception Of Waterbury
Tool. Cliff Slater's charges from
the Waterbury Tool Co. are getting
to be known as the hard luck team
Of the league. Two weeks ago they
went into the last inning Of the
game against Benrus, leading 2 to
!, only to lose the game 3 to 2 when
Teresa Ficeto homered with one on
base for Benrus. Last week they
again went into the last inning
leading Waterbury Mfg. to 4, only
to lose the game to 6 when Betty
Povilaitis homered with one on base
to tie the score and Sis Mastriane
followed with a two base hit drivs
ing in the winning run on base.
The Oakville Co., Division OF Sec
wills, continues to be the surpri
team of the league to date. They
remain undefeated in their first
three starts, and like their cousins
from the Scovill Main Plant, they
feature great strength at bat. Cecils
Desjardins, team captain, Nell Mo-
savich, and Virginia Kelly, are the
heavy hitters all future opponents
will have to watch out for. In adj
dition, Lena Padula is proving to be
a very capable pitcher for the first
year entry in the league. The pos
sibility looms at present that the
games played to determine the i.
r. A. softbal champion at the, end
of the season might well be an ere
tirely Scovill affair. The Scovill c }.
team is also undefeated in the.r
first three starts. A preview Of
such a set up will be had tomorrow
night when the two teams lcas u
at Waterville Park in the feature
game on the nights slate of reg
ular league play. Much friendly ri
valry has developed in anticipation
of the contest, both teams featuring
heavy hitters. At press time, TIE
Scovill Girls remain to favor
lite.
Attractive
Running a close second to the
feature game, is the contest between
Benrus Watch Co. and Waterbury
Mfg. Co. scheduled for Fulton Park.
Both of these teams are also unde-
feated although they cannot boast
about as impressive wins as the
Scovill teams. Benrus is paced by
such veteran all-around girl ath-
leteS as Mile Buglione, Theresa
Ficeto, and Rose DeLeon along with
new conner 10 Koslowsky. They are
equally at home either at bat or
afield. However, they might well
meet their match in Wat. Mfg. Co.,
who can also point to a veteran
roster. Lead by Captain Tessie Ja-
cobS, who has five years of league
play behind her. there is Betty Po-
vilaitis, wife of AL Povilaitis, star
swimmer, who plays fast game at
short stop as well as being a time
~ hitter. and Sis MaStriani, stellar
3rd baseman.
Ed McGrath, league director, an
nounced the complete schedule for
tomorroV nights games, starting
promptly at 6:l5 p. m. as follows:

In an article in the Records of the

Zevely sheds some light on the Municipal
Center houses, which stood on the south
side Of Indiana avenue, being numbered
80 to 318. and also makes reference to
members of the Blagden family. He says:
Next to this house lis a row of five

OF these houses, and they were known

Michigan was an occupant of one of the
houses.

here until his death, February 2, 1870"
Since the residence of Thomas Blag-
