THREE OF FOUR
 EAGLE
 PRELIMS SET

At least four of the five profess sional boxing bouts to comprise a card at Municipal Stadium next Monday night have been complet- ed; including, of course, the head liner featuring Tami Mauriello of New York and Waterbury's Hard Rock, Charley Eagles, whose record of 200 bouts is remarkable in that he has never been knocked out.
 A weeks postponement of the show from this evening, as orig inally scheduled, to next Monday, July 18th, has aided both boxers and the ticket sale, Promoter George Mulligan reveals. The fight is shaping up as a real draw" in- asmuch as Mauriello is considered by many the outstanding challenger for Joe Louis heavyweight title; es- pecially since stopping Lou Nova in one round at Boston; while Eagle has never been stopped, so the New Yorker will receive real test of his hitting ability; and if he gets care- less, Eagle is just the hitter wha could put him lon the deck" as the Waterbury boy is in grand shape" as usual, having trained steadily at the Boys club with Dula Kovach of Naugatuck, who also has six round spot on the card.
 PrelimS
 Kovach is paired with. Sal Bran dino of N. Y, spar mate of Maur- iello, while two other bouts signed include middleweights and wei.er- weights as follows: Johnny Wal ker vs. Johnny Rice, six rounds at 160 pounds, Johnny Del Grado and Bobby San Souci, four rounds at 140 pounds, and all-Waterbury bat ties, as Delgrado halls from the Brooklyn section, while San Souci is from the north end and a gen. uine, "A karat "comer" according to Mickey Dance, who knows a promising youngster as soon as he sees one put up his dukes"

Somers and ScoviII Softly Tilt oniqht

Both divisions of the mems league swing back into action in the second round of the schedule tonight and Tuesday night, at all local dia- monds. It may seem unusual to be starting the second round while the winners of the first round in both leagues are still in doubt, but as we have very long schedule, if we postpone our schedule to play of the remaining games of the first round, we would be probably be play ing until the snow falls at Thanks giving.
 In the American League, Water bury Tool has tie game to play of with U. s. Rubber which will be played this week. If Waterbury Tool wins the above game, the names of Scovill, Somers, and Tool will be put in 8 hat and one name will be drawn out - that team to receive a bye while the other two teams play one game, with the winner to play the team who drew the bye one game, to decide the winner of the first round of the American League. Somers Brass could have done Superior Tim Nolan a favor by win ming over U. s. Time and the above play of would not be necessary.
 In the National League, Bristol has three games to play in the first round. and by winning all three games can tie with Benrus which will necessitate play of of one game to decide that standing. Bris- tol will play one first round post poned game with Eyelet Speciality Monday night and another with American Brass later in the week.
 Important
 Tonight the big game will bring to. gether the two teams with identical won and lost records of the first round when Somers and Scovill meet on Diamond No. at Hamilton Park. Waterbury Manufacturing is determined to make a better show. ing in the record round so their game with Waterbury Companies should be well worth while watch ing.
 Benrus and Connecticut Light and Power will provide the fire works on Tuesday night at Hamil- ton Diamond No. l, while Lux and Bristol on Hamilton Diamond No. ? will be meeting for the first time this year as their first game was postponed because of bad weather.
 In the game played on Friday June 29. Lux vs Farrel at Hopeville Lux beat Farrel but they are credit ed with loss because of the use of an ineligible player.

Hub Fans Await
 Ferriss vs. Holmes

Boston, July 9.-UP)-The long, awaited pitching duel between Bos- tons ace hurlers-Dave (Boo) Fer riss of the Red Sox and Mort Cooper of the Braves-will not be staged because of the latter's ail- ing arm.
 Scheduled to face each other for three innings tomorrow when the teams play charity game for the United War Fund, the plan was abandoned when Cooper left for St. Louis to consult Dr. Robert Hyland, the specialist who operated on his salary wing in 1941.
 Cooper complains that his right elbow hurts each time he tries to throw a curve. With eight wins and one loss this year, Cooper has served as a relief hurler four times in four days. He plans to rejoin the Braves on their coming west ern tour
 With the Ferriss-Cooper duel out, interest now will center on how the Red Sox rookie makes out against the big bat of the Braves sensa- tlonal hitting outf1elder, Tommy Holmes.
 To date, Holmes has batted safe- ly in 37 consecutive games to wipe out the 23-year-old National league record set by Rogers Hornsby. He now is aiming for the 44-game mark set by Wee Willie Keeler in 1897 and the 56-game stretch by Joe Di- Maggie of the American league that was the all-time record.
 Since tomorrow's game is an ex- hloition encounter it will have no effect on Holmes record. However. fans are wondering how he will make out against the offerings of the remarkable Ferriss who in his f1rSt year in the majors has won 14 games and lost only two.
 Boston, June 9.-UP)-Two of the hottest players in the maior leagues, Tommy Holmes of the Braves and Dave Ferriss of the Red Sox, continued to burn up their respective circuits during the week end while their teams were split ting even in doubleheaders.
 Holmes extended his hitting streak to 37 consecutive games, just seven shy of Wee Willie" Keeler's an- cient National league mark and 1s behind Joe Di Maggie, who set the all-time record when he was swinging in the cleanup spot for the New York Yankees in 1941. Ferriss chalked up his 14th mound victory of the season and his fifth shut out bysetting down the Cleveland Indians so on seven hits.
 Besides connecting safely in both ends of twin bill, Holmes batted in three runs to maintain his league leadership with 69, and rifled his 14th home rhn of the year out of the park to put himself right be- hind Ernie Lonibardi of the Giants and his teammate Chuck Workman in that department.

Hines Dark Horse Of P.G.A. Meet

Dayton, O.. July 9-(UP)-Forgot- g. ten Jimmy Hines. playing some of the greatest golf of his career, was rated a dangerous dark horse today as qualifying play began in the 27th National Tournament of the profess sional golfers association.
 About 150 of Americas top pros, the largest field in the history of this celebrated golfing classic, open the 3-hole, qualifying scramble with IS holes today over the rolling Mo- raine Country Club course.
 And, while Byron Nelson is rated the man to beat, Hines is consider ed one of his most dangerous chal- lengers because in golf. champions do come back.
 Hines shot seven- -under-par over the 6.625-yard course to take first prize in the $1,000 pre-tournament warmup. His previous two rounds both have been 66's.

Runner-Up Wins
 Praise Of French

Paris, July - CU.P) - Marcel Boussac's Carecilla was the latest winner of the famed Longchamps Grand Prix, but today, more than 24 hours after the race, the mixed crowd of Parisians and American and British servicemen still re- served their top praise for runner up Chanteur.
 Carecilla was the favorite at 6 to 10 among the crowd of 60,0OO which packed the fashionable turf plant. But he barely saved the victory from the stout-hearted Chanteur, who started out the wrong way in a nixe-up at the barrier. Despite the bad beginning. Chanteur legged it over the brass track and passed all of the horses in the field except Carecilla in great but futile bid to win.

Here We Go Aqoin!
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

For more years than I should like to remember, there have been occa- Sional but steady reports about the natural wonders of Connecticut's Litchfield county hills and dales, towns and villages not far from the shadow of the Berkshires. Yet, this chronicler of sporting news and views never had the good fortune to come in contact with such great outdoors until the week just passed. While sitting within a niblick shot of the swiftly-moving Housatonic river, July 4th morning; under the shade of some trees on the bank of the river; and with big cold glass of s and S in one hand; a book of Damon Runyon stories in the other hand; and a big, black cigar be- tween my uppers. and lowers; I look ed up at the bright blue and white sky, through the sun-drenched trees and suddenly got to thinking about the thousands of men and women who, in few hours, would be knocking each other down at Acque- duct and Suffolk Downs to get to the two, five, ten, combination and maybe $50 windows then rush back to get peek at the corner of the track as the horses flash by, provid- ing someone's back is strong enough to stand a little climbing. Sure enough, the July papers reported tremendous crowds at both places and among them were thousands lon vacation"
 On another day saw Cathedral Pines, some of them POO feet high;
 on another day, my astonished
 eyes beheld l3 COWS of various colors on a sharply inclined hill
 side just off well-traveled road
 between Canaan and Falls Vil-
 lage. Every day there was the cool
 waters of the Housatonic to ban
 ish the heat of the day (and there
 was very little) while at night, the
 rolling of Old Man River would
 bring baby's sleep to an in-
 somnia sufferer overnight.

 Peace-it's wonderful-fa, from the maddening crowd; in Con- necticuts country around Sharon Cornwall. Canaan, Falls Village, Lakeville, etc. What a pleasant shock to a guy who thought he had been around pit!
