American League
Nav Use New Ball

CHICAGO, Oct. 20|P- When
the 1892 major league season rolls
around, the American league may
be using the style OF baseball
adopted by the National league last
season.
President william Harridge Is
collecting opinions and comment
and at the annual meeting Of the
league next month may recon-
mend a change TO the sphere with
the embossed seams and thicker
hide. The junior circuit last year
changed from the old rabbit ball
to one with raised seams, but with
the same cover.

Likewise, Coach Red" Irvine was
putting the finishing touches TO his

they won by handy scores This
meek Coach Irvine has been busy
irbning out the defects he discover

For the first time in history. the
Scorpions have ample reserve
strength. Their first string OF last
year has been strengthened in spots
and in addition they have a second
eleven which is practically on a a
with the first string lineup. This
will enable the Scorps TO keep a
fresh crew on the firing line
throughout any contest.

George, as If 1t were a last ges-

that white streak toward the plate,
George for an instant reclaimed
his lost greatness.

WOMEN'S CLUB FOR l
 LITTLE THEATRE.
Plays to Be Presented There, the First the l2
 and 18th of Nov
CREWS ARE BUSY

The Waterbury Women's club will be the setting for the several public plays presented this season by the Little Theater of Water bury, according to announcement of Miss Helen Schoeni, director. Also, the dates for the first per formance of "The Devil in the Cheese" will be the second week of November. possibly the 18th and 18th. There is a discussion of a matinee, but this has not been def initely decided.
 The construction work for the plays will be in the garage of the Buick company on Willow street. This crew is already at work on the sets for the fantastic comedy soon to be presented. The unusual nature of this play not only calls for a variety of scenery but for an extensive line of costumes to in clude shepherds, monks. aviators' clothes. as we'll as evening and ordinary summer costumes, and last but not least gorilla outfit.
 It is expected that the auditor ium at the Women's club will he admirable for the Little Theater plays. sufficiently large to suit the association's requirements. Mem berships that will entitle one to see all the plays may be had by applying at headuarters at A Cen tral avenue, pqhone 4-1006.
 The costume crew who have a considerable job ahead of them is headed by Miss Ethel Reichenbach. She has as her assistants. the Misses Sally Soule, Eleanor Holmes, Laura Brown, Verna Bauck and Mrs Carl Olsen and Mrs Robert Hyland.

HIGH SCHOOLS TO PLAY FOR MILK FUND
Thanksgiving Day
 Game Profits Go \ To Worthy Cause
Officials Vote Charity Proceeds at Meeting Yesterday
 Only Actual Expenses Will Be Deducted From
 Gate Tremendous Response Anticipated 2

At a meeting held yesterday in the office of Superintendent of Schools Michael c. Donovan, the principals and athletic directors of Crosby, Wilby and Leavenworth high schools reached an agreement whereby. the largest possible share of the gate receipts of the annual Thanksgiving football game be- tween Crosby and Wilby will be donated to the milk fund. The meeting was addressed by Presi- dent John J. Walsh of the board of education, who pictured the great need of funds for the coming winter to supply nourishment for many of the youngsters of our city who are not receiving all they need, and all that their parents would like to give. He explained that those in charge of the milk fund last year raised $7,000 which was expended for this purpose, and he showed that although the need this year is again going to be great the difficulty of raising the fund will beeven greater. He therefore appealed to the principals and athletic directors for assistance in this worthy cause.
 After some discussion, it was the consensus of opinion that the best way in which all could help would be to set aside the Crosby Wilby Thanksgiving day game, as the one on which to concentrate all ef- forts to make the school depart ment's contribution a substantial one. Of course this annual contest is and always has been the game on which both Crosby and Wilby have depended for revenue to car- ry on their own athletic activities. The gate receipts on most other games. with the exception of the osby-Naugatuck game which is played here only once every two years, are negligible. Although both the Crosby and Wilby athletic associations are now absolutely without funds, their officials nev- ertheless readily agreed to take from thins game only an amount sufficient to tide them over this season. and the entire surplus to be donated to the milk fund.

The Crosby Wilby football game on Thanksgiving morning has al- ways been the finest high school football spectacle in Connecticut. With both schools massed in the bIeachers along the sidelines, with each school represented by it's band, with both cheering sections singing and cheeringfi the way no other schools in the state can, this annual game has become famous for it's display of the right kind of school spirit and school rivalry. and hundreds of people have turned out each year to witness it. There should be an added motive this year, and one which should pack every inch of space at Hamii- ton park when these two high school teams face each other next Thanksgiving morning. With the exception of the amount of money which Crosby and Vyilby must h; =, to pay their debts, every dol lar will go to the purchase of milk for youngsters who cannot pay for it themselves. There may be more worthy motives, but they do not come readily to mind.
 Those present at the meeting besides Superintendent Donovan and Commissioners Wal l, were Principals Harrison S. AlleL of Leavenworth,. Joseph P. Kennedy of Wilby, Louis J. Thibodeau of Crosby, Louis Laun, James Lee, J. O. P. Manherz and J. Francis Roland. A meeting of the same group will be held within a few days, when more detailed plans will be made to enlist the aid of all in this effort to aid the young sters of this community who may be in need.
 It should not be forgotten that this whole movement for the sup plying of milk to the undernour- ished in all the grade schools (both public and parochiaD came from Dr Godfrey, health officer. and that it had from the beginning the enthusiastic approval of President Walsh and several other members of the board of education as we'll as the superintendent of schools and all the principals and teachers of the public schools. This year again Dr Godfrey was the first to begin to create enthusiasm for the work, and this year too, President Walsh of the board immediately became interested. It was he who brought the message to the com- mittee yesterday ani made the suggestion for the plan here out lined.
