The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-03-02

There is daylight ahead. We are slowly building from the ground up, so If we can show a certain degree of improvement over the past season we will be more than pleased. I am positive we will do this.
 The last season saw us higher in the race than at any time since 1925 when the club took fifth. For the next three summers we wound up in seventh each fall, dropping to eighth in 1929
 A couple of young outfelders we have picked up since last season are going to be of great assistance in patching up that part of our team. l expect great things of Wesley Schulmerick and Bob Worthington, both of whom are young and fast and can hit--something we have needed badly. Schulmerick comes fro mthe Los Angeles Pacific Coast League club. where he rated among the best of the always vigorous crop of corners. We bought Worthington from Rochester. He's might handy at the plate, they tell me.
 If these two boys can come through. 1t will take q great load off my shoulders.

BECNAL BOYS RONIP. OFF AS BROOKLYN :
 MIDGET CHAMPS

The scrappy Begnal Grammar school basketball quintet won the championship of the Brooklyn "Y" Midget basketball tournament, by defeating the small Duggan school array. 23 to IT, in Q hard fought tusscl. Saturday afternoon at the Brooklyn "Y" court. Every mem- Der of the winning team figured in his teams scoring, with Bellucci, Di. Chihara and Cicero tossing in the deciding points to clinch the title for Willie Carrolls charges.
 Coach Willie Carroll is to be highly complimented for his fine work in directing his Begnal school. boys to their first title as the mid- get basketball champions of Brook lyn, winning victories over the Town Plot Acmes, St Joseph's Par- ochial School team, Barnard and Duggan Schools, in the elimination tournament.
 Extends His Thanks

Melville Kelley, who was the chairman of the tourney. wishes to extend a vote of thanks onl behalf of the tourney commit- tee, to the newspapers and officials who aided him. in making the secs ond annual midget basketball tour. nament a fine success.

COMPETITION

Third base Is a problem right now. So far as I can see, it is an open fight between Chatham, whom we had last year as a regular; Wilson, a boy from Rochester; Walters, whom we have had on the squad two years, and Dreesen, from the Eastern League. Dreesen is a sec ond baseman. but he has played at third. He may be the answer to our problem.
 The rest of the infield Is pretty well set. At shortstop we'll have old Rab Maranville; Mcguire is back for second base and both Sheely and Johnny Neun will get chance at first.
 There was some talk that I would shift Maranville to second this year, but now feel sure he will be at his old position. The Rabbit is getting old,b ut he can still show most of the boys how to handle the short field job. He is one of the wonders of baseball, and I am not at all con- cerned about how he will fill his po- sition.
 Al Bool will give us a punch be- hind the bat we have needed badly. am counting on him to become q fine running mate for Cronin.

LOVE STUFF NOT
 FOR JONES AS HE MAKES GOLF MOVIES
By RONALD w. WAGONER United Press Stan Correspondent.

Hollywood. Cal, March 2.-UP)- Robert Tyre Jones, the worlds pre- mier golfer, was in Hollywood to- day ready to do what he can through the movies to keep his countrymen out of the bunkers and sand traps next summer.
 Jones arrived yesterday to make 12 short pictures on the subject How I Play Golf"
 The studio plans to complete the series within six weeks and the golf CTS and would-be golfers of the country can have the Jones instruc- ton for the price of theater tick ct just about the time the golf season of 1031 starts.
 No MusIl For Him
 Jones was sure of one thing, that there will be no romantic element in his pictures.
 He shifted nervously when a re- porter asked him if he desired his leading lady to come from the blonde, brunette or red-headed groups of film beauties.
 "rhey couldn't get me to play In one of those love pictures," he said. I'm going to stick to something know little about"
 ''The first picture will be about putting" Jones explained. They will be designed as instructive. yet they won't so 50 complicated that 6 non-golfer cannot understand them. The first one will open with q fel- low on the green, when he misses a putt I will kid him about it and tell him he needs more practice. Then I'll give him little instruction"

HILLS NOSE OUT HOPEVILLE WITH
 l7PENALTY POINTS
Sizzling City League Game Ends 25 to "A - Emer- aids OutshOOt Tiremen in Opener, 4O-20

Eleven field goals was the total amount of scoring by the Washing ton Hills and Hopeville Speedboys yesterday afternoon in the rough- est game of the season played at Eagles hall. The Hills finished in front 25 to 24, mainly because of IT points on free throws which they made good against ten free markers credited to the fashy array from South Waterbury, which also scored seven times from the floor.
 EXIT FOR FOUR
 Four players, two on each team lost their playing privileges on per- sonal fouls in the contest which got fast and furious before the. initial period was two minutes old. It was a hard, close game from the first whistle, the Hopeville club starting fast and bombarding the hoop often enough to lead 8 to 5 at the quar- ter. Missing very few of their pen- atty throws, the Hills came back in the second period, two field goals by Connor and another by Hal Ma loney to lead 15 to 12 at the half. Close guarding featured the third period Maloney's field goal and four penalty points keeping the Hills in front by fair margin until Green sunk two foul tries and a field goal and Grady found the hoop to bring the count 21 to 20 with the Hills still in front.
 WILD FINISH
 The last ten minutes or play found every one of the players in action from start to finish. Wild scram bles for the ball were punctuated by con- tinual fouling as the score see- sawed back and forth, the Hills hold- ing point-point lead until the finish. The score:

HEXIMER OUT FOR :.
 IN TRACK MEETING NEW GOAL RECORD
molly saw America's last big fight

New Haven. Conn, Mar. 2.-(UP) Obs Heximer, leading scorer of the Canadian-American Hockey league, boosted his point total last night to 55-due chiefly to the assistance of his teammate, Deacon Waite, whose all-time league record of 57 points he probably will break before the end of the season.
 Heximer scored four goals and one assist while the Springfield Indians trounced the New Haven Eagles. tail-enders, 9 to 3 at the arena.
 Waite, at center, deliberately sac- rificed personal scoring attempts to feed the puck to Heximer, on left win. Waite's record was established last year when he was member of the Boston Tigers, now the Bruin Cubs.

BATTLE RACES FOR PLAYOFF BIRTHS

IMPROVED TWIRLERS

The pitching will be better. I be- llcve. Seibold. Farmhouse, Zachary, Cunningham, Brandt, Haid and Sher- del form the nucleaus of staff that ought to give us fairly sturdy de- fense on the mound. Young Mo- Afee Is a conner, and we are not overlooking any chances to try out new material as 1t is offered to us.
 The most encouraging thing about our club, however, is the indication that 1t will get better hitting. That was where we were weak last sea- son. We finished sixth, but at the plate we were q bad seventh with team average of .281-just one point better than the Cincinnati Reds. This shows that our pitch ing, general defense and base run ming must have been q little better than average. With more punch there is no reason why we can't climb higher.

NAUCATUCK BEATS
 WILEY TO CLINCH VALLEY LOOP TITLE
Important Contests Ends 26 to "A and Featured By Wilby Comeback Local Reserves Lose

Wilby Highs foul shooting very nearly bet Naugatuck to the inter- scholastic basketball championsl1iD of Connecticut Saturday night for it was only in that department Pete Foley's lads were second. In offense defense, strategy, and all the minor that go to make up good basket ball game. the Naugatuck entry proved it's right to first place in the Naugatuck Valley league and sub sequent choice as Yale tournament winner. The Wilby-Naugy game ended 26 to 24 in Naugatuck's favor and 1t was a well deserved win.
 Lost His Head.
 Had not Jimmy Tracy talked himself out of the game late in the final period, Wilby might just pos- sibly have won or at least gone into an overtime period. Warned to stop talking in an offensive manner, Tracy insisted on coming to blows with Samborski of Naugatuck. but before anything happened, the Wilby center was banished from the game ODonnell being substituted for him.
 Strong Come Back.
 For the first two periods 1t was all Naugatuck. Led by Samborski, a strong, fast, thinking guard who missed few opportunities to pass with deadly accuracy. the Garnet and Gray clan slowly moved ahead of the apparent bewiIdered Lee combine to outscore them ? to 1 in the first half of the game, Naugy leading IS to at the half. Jimmy Crichton s shooting put Wilby into sensation al comeback in the third period. in which the small Wilby forward hooped three double deckers and a foul goal to bring the locals righ up close and with a good chance to win. In the final heat, Rossi's four foul throws kept the Green and White in the running. Samborksi's easy hoop and Scally's free throw gave Naugatuck the margin that it needed to win, as both missed chances to score during the closing minutes of the game. The score:
 Naugatuck.
