note that we said we are of the opinion that Beagle will never be a better man than BegIey. It is our honest opinion that if Beagle be- comes as good a first baseman as Begley, he will be the goods.
 Of recent years, there is only one man who, in our opinion outstrips Begley at covering the first sack in this city and that one was Joey Fitzpatrick. Hooks" is back at the old position with the Landers, Frary 6S Clark baseball team but not many years ago, he was all set to step out into league ball as first saclIer. He preferred to stay around these parts, doing odd pitching jobs until he passed his peak.
 There certainly are all the stars of the city in the Industrial league teams, On Landers, there is Eddie Goeb. one of the sweetest out fieliers this city ever saw and Joe Fitzpatrick Tt first. On the Corbin team is "Yiggs" Patrus who was veteran several years ago, "Micky' Huber who hit his first home run when he was eight years old; Scheidler is another veteran. Hinch- cliffe another and several others too numerous to mention.
 There may be good crop of young baseball players growing up now. but it doesn't seem to us as if there are as good players now as there used 10 be- Maybe were enter ing that has-been age that knows nothing better than the "outh it has once seen. Then again, maybe our bet is right,
 We expect that Walnut Hill will be crowded next Monday evening when the Connecticut Light & Power 70. and Spring &5 Buckley teams herin 10 mix it on the diamond, In connection with this it seems that tha 1.vi. h family has a monopoly on the managerial positions about town m the public service company base ball teams at least. Jim Lynch is manager of the Gascos and now George Lynch, his nephew handles rhe reins of the Light company's taam.
 Some one wanted to know how "Tedders" Kilduff rated place on the Light companJ's team, so we asked tho question of Vincent Kier- nan. publicity manager for the wire stringers. He told LIS that the com pany allows "Tedders" to sell a flat iron once a year thereby, making him clegiblo for the team.
 Nom Begley thinks that the guy who said that the Light Go. team was going 10 enjoy workout when the Spring & Buckley team plays that outfit Monday night is full of applesauce. Nom says to watch out for his gang when Charley and Bill Havden. Leslie Golf and few more of the heavy stickmen get going. Nom wants to bet his next weeks beard that his team will win.
 Larry Mangan has picked any thing but soft job when he es- saved to choose a nine to represent the Eddy-Glover post, AL -erican Le- zion. Larry had about 35 candidates out last Tuesday night at Walnut Uill park but he had almost double that many last night at Nliio" Brook park. Where he is going to nick the vest out of that crowd. is more than Larry can tell you right off the bat. Every one of the can didates is about as good as there is in tNe city and if the cream ot that crew is to be picked. there won't be team in the country that will be able to touch them.
 This brings us around to the fact that Larry. himself always one of the mainstays of "Nigger Hill" has family of baseball players.
 Did yo,. ever hear the one about Monsieur Fish and the iron ball out at Shuttle Meadow club: It seems that some one bet the club steward that he couldn't drive the hall A certain distance and Mir. Fish thought that a very easy way to make S1Q. The contest was on. Val Flood teed up the ball and Fish took his stand at the driving pin. What q form! With beautiful arc swing he came down on the ball and Wham!-The ball rolled about three feet. Fish couldn't dope out what was the matter until he picked up the ball and found that it was made of iron.
 Mir. Fish said that he knew there was something funny because he could feel it in his arms.
 The annual golf tournament of the Connecticut Women's Golf association comes to a close today at the Shuttle Meadow club with the final playoff for the state championship between Mrs. Austin and Mrs, Mar telle, both from Hartford and mem- bers of the Hartford Golf club.
 n two "OIleD alt LnSL anu Nci dear friends. So dep is the affect tion that one holds for the other that it is said that in the Hartford club championship this pair was matched and when the match was over. the victor wept, she felt so sorry for her friend.
 We hope no tears will be spilled today because one thing is certain, the best golfer will win. They are saying that Mrs, Austin has the num&cr of Mrs. Martelle, but that is doubtful because both are play ing wonderful golf.
 IL fIas been n very successful week Tor all concerned and the windup to lay should bring out large gallery.
