If Cormier had been successful it would have been the first time in 40 years a Massachusetts fighter had won the world's featherweight title. well, we'll keep trying. Ed Smith, the N. Y. U.

He has had only one pass intercepted this season. that should bring out some hectic football are on the cards for tomorrow afternoon at Fenway Park. Dorchester tangles with Trade, while Commerce takes on Mechanic Arts, the first game starting at 2:30 m.

Dorchester, looking very good against Mechanics in the first half of that game last week, a half in which the big red team pushed over a pair of touchdowns, will present the same starting lineup that went so well that day.

YOU CAN'T BUY AN OLDER.

MARYLAND RYE BLEND AT THIS PRICE IN BOSTON! Dorchester Ready Minor bumps and injuries are reported at the Dorchester camp, bruis-that slowed the boys up during the last few days of practice. The unseasonable weather has worked against Bill Pendergast's boys, too, but they will be ready tomorrow. That mean; that Johnny McHugh will rampage off the tackles. Bob Murray will throw passes as he throws third strikes at batters during the baseball season and that husky Dorchester line will give the customers lessons i.i blocking. Dorchester looked real good last week and should continue tomorrow.

Trade School, reported to be quite strong this year, strong enough for this column again to sound the note of "Watch Trade," will revamp its lineup a bit for this game. Barkus, a sub, goes in at tackle, in Larry Hanrom's place, as Hansom goes in at guard, Silverman vacating the starting lineup. Capt Barney Koretskr will again start at end and he is one of the best wings in the city. The backfield is intact, with George Sweetman, Fred Warnock, Phil Wili-choski and Al Pernavas, a formidable quartet. Both Sweetman and Warnock are good punters, the latter being the more experienced and there- Remember Jesse Spalding, captain and halfback of Yale's 1912 eleven? Well, Jesse Jr is playing right half for the Eli freshmen this Fall, and his brother John is right tackle on the Roxbury School eleven.

I In one way this game is a tossup. AT Charles (Gabby) Hartnett, veteran catcher of the pennant-winning Cubs, who was voted the most valuable player in the N. 1 for 1935, certainly deserves the honor. His leadership and playing in the Cubs' drive to the finish, during which they chalked up 21 straight victories, is something which will be called to your attention quite often. engineers.

By resisting heat generated inside the tire by high speeds, it keeps rubber from losing its grip on the tread it keeps heat blisters from forming inside the tire.

"It happened near Deal, N. J.

I had just passed another car when my tire blew out. I smacked a bank and the motor came back through the dash would have gotten me sure if I hadn't been thrown against the side of my car. But I don't worry about blow-outs now, for my car is equipped with Silvertowns." Most motorists would no more gamble on tires they knew to be unsafe, than a card gambler would "open blind" in a poker game. If you could only realize the damage to limb, life-arid car that one blow-out might cause, you'd start in tomorrow to ride on Goodrich Safety Silvertowns. Because Silvertowns have something that no other tire in the world hasthe Life-Saver Golden Ply.

The Golden Ply is not an ordinary ply with a fancy name but a scientific invention developed by Goodrich CORMIER EASY FOR FEATHER CHAMP Miller Outclassed Him Before Small House The teams, on paper, are quite even in player strength and in weight. But last week Dorchester was much the better organized, while Trade had the jitters from start to finish. Dorchester apparently is all set to continue its early pace, and the score depends largely on how much- confidence Trade will have in itself tomorrow. For the other tilt Coach Doc Fleming will tand pat on his line, a forward wall which did very well against Trade last week for an inexperienced line. But the backfield is giving Doc plenty of worry.

Capt Irwin "Ked" Grange and Frank Little are sure to start, but there the certainty ends. McTiernan. Buckley or Curtis are the nominations for the other two positions, with Curtis having practically clinched one job. That leaves it up to McTiernan and Buckley, with Coach Fleming making his decision just before game time tomorrow. "Red" Grange on Hand No matter who does fill in the backfield, "Red" Grange will be in there doing things in a big way.

Husky, this boy smacks a line like nobody's business. He can also toss passes with speed and accuracy and Our own Wally Berger, who was with the last-place Braves, made a very good showing when he received 20 votes to tie for sixth-place honors. He was the only other man besides Dean and Hartnett to receive a first-place vote. Worrying over the Brooklyn Dodgers must have taken its toll from Casey Stengel. He has gained nine pounds since the baseball season closed.

Miller was easily the master of a game, willing, determined, but outclassed, Cormier. He coasted in to victory and hardly drew an extra hungry hockey fans to learn that i play will be extended a week. We'll finishes that off by doing the kick breath during the entire fight.

NEW YORK, Oct 23 (A P) Jimmy Braddock's surprise victory over Max Baer started a regular epidemic of fistic comebacks. Among the ring veterans trying to regain the spotlight are Al -Singer, New York lightweight; Ray Miller, Chicago welterweight; Joe Seykra, Dayton heavyweight, and Billy Wallace Cleveland lightweight. The boys are not having Jimmy's luck, but they're all in there trying.

Now comes word that old Jack Sharkey may limp out of retirement for a crack at Joe Louis. If Eddie Ainsmith, the old catcher, joins the American League umpiring staff next season, whose job will he get? Three guesses. Charlie Paddock, former crack runner, is leading a movement to put the blast on Howard Jones, Southern Brother and Sister Play for Paul Revere Golf Title Saturday LEXINGTON, Oct 23 There is keen interest in the final match for the golf championship of the Paul Revere Golf Club, scheduled for Saturday.

The doctor is most modest in the placement of his ranking as a golfer but nevertheless his keen interest in the game prompted him to put his great technical knowledge to work in order that the playing of the game might be less a burden on the purse of the player. "Having made such outstanding contributions to the world as the inventions by which airplane wings are de-iced, an invention second in import to no other in the advancement of modern air transportation. Dr Geer is apt not to give his work on cover for golf balls the importance dhat millions of benefited golfers undoubtedly wilL "In answer to my request, Dr Geer described in simple terms just' what vulcanization is and what it accomplishes. His enlightening reply was that vulcanization is a chemical mixing of rubber or balata, certain portions of sulphur, that brings about a toughening of the material, resulting in greater, elasticity. Consequently, the material so treated is given a flexibility that makes possible the absorption of a blow by it without permanent distortion.

"A simple illustration is that a golf ball will dent less than a ball of steel or rock hit with the same type of blow. According to Dr Geer, there are several methods used in accomplishing vulcanization. This is fortunate as it will allow manufacturers a choice of several ways in which to haved poorly in the first half against Dorchester last week, but pulled together and did well in the second half. The Artisans have a swell pass combination in Bill Calabrese to Jim De Gregorio, which scored a touchdown in the last minute last week. This pair will score quite a few touchdowns this year.

Brune showed signs of being ready to step out as an off-tackle-cut-back artist, while Calabrese and Frank Calarese are learning how to lug a ball in the right direction. The Mechanic line should be better than last week and, with the Artisans doing less fumbling, Commerce will find itself stacked against quite a ball club. Whitman Record Fine Did we. hear from Whitman High, or did we not? I'll say we did. Whitman High, the folks down Whitman way, will tell you that they have an unbeaten club, with three games tucked away.

Weymouth by 7-0, and then Hanover and Walpole in that order, both by 33 to 0. Whitman meets Fairhaven next week, and something will explode there. Fairhaven, if case you don't realize it, is unbeaten-untied in five games, and has but one touchdown scored against it. Bristol. 47-0, Coyle Memorial, 14-0: Dartmouth, 21-0; Durfee, 7-6, and Bridgewater, 6-0, is the Fairhaven slate.

Carl Etelman, ex-Providence Steamroller backfield wizard, coaches the Whitman High bunch, and has been doing a bang-up job. Whitman was South Shore champion last year, losing but one game, to North Quincy. That tilt was the second game of the 1934 season, and since then. Whitman has gone unbeaten and untied. Capt Bob Jackson, one of the fastest schoolboy ball luggers around, is caurornia football coach.

Gus Bout Drew Only 4300 It wasn't the slashing or rip-tearing fcht that you sometimes see, but it was interesting to watch Miller make Cormier look like a crude novice. Vernon has actually not improved much over his showing in Boston rmss before he sailed for a worldwide tour in which he was supposed to have advanced a great deal. Per-rapg that explains why he didn't fome to Boston to train and remained in Worcester. The bout, which wasn't a natural one for Boston, attracted 4301 customers, who paid out $6638, with $4534 as the net. Although it was announced before the fight that Miller was receiving a $10,000 guarantee, he actually was paid 30 percent of the net, while Cormier, who wis said to have been fighting for Panuts, received 20 percent of the t.

The Miller purse was $1366.20, while Cormier drew down $910.80, which it more than Vernon has probably received for any fight.

looks upon this If By W. A. WHITCOMB Golfers throughout the world, especially in Scotland, will be interested in the announcement given out for publication todayxby the United States Golf Association to the end that a new process has been developed for treating the rubber covering of golf balls which, as predicted, will not only reduce the manufacturing cost appreciably, but lengthen the life of the ball. The announcement was made by Prescott Bush, president of the U. S.

G. who interviewed Pr William C. Geer, inventor of the new process, which is called vulcanizing. Lessens Cost of Play Pres Bush's announcement: "Naturally the United States Golf Association has an earnest interest in any development of equipment that may modify the playing of golf or benefit the player. Therefore, the decision of the major golf ball manufacturers to bring out a vulcanized cover for a ball has commanded the attention of this association.

"An interview with the inventor Dr William C. Geer, has brought to light interesting facts which place this development in a sequence of importance with the old feathery, the gutty, and the wound core ball. The principal achievement of the vulcanized cover is to affect favorably for golfers of the nation the economic phase of the game by giving more playability and longer life than the old type ball. "The new vulcanized cover stock Is, as Dr Geer explains, much more durable and less subject to cutting or furrowing. This should be advantage that will lessen the cost of play and promote a greater activity in the game in the future.

"This one factor brings a hearty endorsement from the U. S. G. A. and the fact that all major golf ball manufacturers have decided to bring this desirable advantage to the player certainly deserves encouraging commendation.

Coach Tommy Newell at Belmont was a proud man last Saturday night. A perusal of.

the college lineups showed him no less than 11 ex-Bel-morft boys starring in college games. Two were decidedly in the limelight, George Ford and Tony Di Natale, respectively, of Harvard and Boston College. These two were standout punters. Bob Jones, Harvard center, Is another ex-Belmont boy playing for the name of "Red" with confidence, for he showed the boys how to run with a ball last week when Commerce opened against Trade. He will be in action again tomorrow, playing against Mechanic Arts.

Grange can hit a line, forward pass, kick and turn in a lot of fine defensive work. He did all that well last week, and should be even 4 better tomorrow.
