CAN SAVE
ON MOTOR
REPAIRS
Civilian Facilities fer Such
Work Is Subject Of
Inquiry.

A movement TO do away with the
motor repair activities of the army
and abandon the great repair depot
at Camp Normoyle. is reported TO
be under way in the War Department,
according to information that has
reached local army circles.
Recently Major William F. Rob
inson Jr., Of the War Department
general staff, supply division, returned
to Washington after a tour Of motor
transport overhaul shops, including
those at Normoyle.
During the tour, he is said to havs
made a study of the economy Of the
army repairing its own vehicles and
to have interviewed civilian firms in
San Antonio and throughout the
country on their facilities for doing
repair work and on their prices for
various kinds of repair jobs. II
MAY JUNK DEPOfS.
The result Of Major Robinson's in,
vestigations has not yet been an
nounced, but his recommendations ars
expected to have great weight with
the War Department in making its
final decision.
If the motor repair activities Of the
Quartermaster Corps are done away
with, the repair depots at Normoyle. .
Holabird and other places will be
junked and the men on duty at the
depots probably will be organized into
field units.
OPPOSITION DEVELOPS.
Strong opposition to the proposed
plan has developed among expert
enced motor transport officers, who
criticise the change as being unecono-
mical, impractical and wholly against
the interests of the army from both
training and supply standpoints.
Suggestion has been made BY Of
ficers connected with motor repair
activities that repair work for other
departments of the government be
made by the army repair depots in
case the volume of work on army
vehicles is not sufficient to justify
the maintenance of shops for use of
the army alone.

 Waterbury Tonight

The New Britain Boys club fresh from it's 55-17 victory over the Gel tics in Springfield Saturday night, will seek to make 1t twelve wins in a row tonight when it takes on the Waterbury Boys club. A great battle is in prospect. for the Brass City team has lost only five games in three years and has the captain and one other player from the regu- lar Crosby high school team which broke even with the local high five. There is also a chance that Caring ton, who was here with the Hopeville Speed Boys last week and who is a brother of the Darlington who all most broke up the Nats-West Ends game Saturday night, will be back Iagain tonight with the visitors.
 The locals will use the same lineup as in the past, although Arburr may be forced to remain idle. "Flunko'' injured his leg in the factory league game last Tuesday and aggravated this Saturdy night, but it is hoped that he will be able to get under way tonight.

WILSON A STAR
 CATCHER QUICKLY Phillies Now Have Two Good
 Men Behind the Bat

New York, March 2.-Jimmy Wil- son, youthful catcher of the Phila- delphia Nationals. is tugging at the portals of big league fame, clamor- ing for recognition among the leading mask and mitt performers in the big wheel.
 Any major league manager will substantiate the statement that a "club is as good as its weakest catcher" and without capable backstop team cannot hope to at tain championship heights,
 In Philadelphia, Manager Arthur Fletcher has had plenty of trouble with his infed and outfeld, but he has two good maskmen in Walter Henline and Wilson. Henline, a capable, hard Uniting, colorful re- ceiver. has often been named in the headlines during the past two years, yet Wilson displayed class enough to break into no less than 6S games during 1924.
 In 1923 Wilson was used in an emergency capacity by Fletcher Last season he hit .273 and was re- garded as a dangerous batsman at all times.
 Wilson won his spurs when he caught doubleheader against the Giants at the Polo Grounds last sum- mer. Fletcher had not then gotten lis team into its stride, the pitchers were off form and both games went badly against them. In the face of this disaster, Wilson radiated eff cicncy and determination which made the Phils look good even in defeat
 Wilson came to the Philies from Boston in 1921. The gave up Baum gartner, a pitcher, and cash for him and then farmed him out to New Haven for more seasoning. He wa' recalled in 1922 but served only as 2 subordinate to Henline. Wher
