 Waterbury fans are a bit sorry that Bridgeport did not start it's sn1rt earlier. There would @ have its besp spur. fo4lcklng drive for second place nonors between the Derbs and the Brasscos. Such a thing would have oraWn more shekels to the clubs in aodiaon to furnishing some real thrills for the fans. Says the snorf- crat:
 Gene Mocann's Bridgeport Brown DerbleS nave been coming along with a rush in the past few weeks Had they made an earlier start they might nave gwen the Brasscos quite a battle for second place.
 d cal certainty that the Brasscos are n finish in the rupper-up position.
 Glloerts team has been playing a very poor brand of ball, having lost SIX out of the last eight games. They nave ten more games to play hefors the season finishes and four of these are double-headers. If they shouId continue their present sloppy work and drop the majority of these. the Derbies would have a good chance ro crawl up on them. On the other hans the Derbies would have to win all O. their games and that is hardly con. sidered likely,
 It would have been good thing for the Bridgeport and waterpurv box offices if there had been a real ngnt Tor second place. It might have added some interest to a one-sided race.

Cheer up! If we happened to get beat 1 to or to 1. Dan would say: We're licked. but we gave the other guys "a damn hard game!'"
