fine target for young "Chippy" Trask of Naugatuck, as the blonde hurler couldn't miss Gregs apert mouth and noted tongue.
 Ianglois Has on Night.
 Xrask worked on the hillock for five frames giving up but four hits, but his successors George Langlois and Stanley Brady were hammered unmercifuliy to all corners of the field. Frank Mahoney and Charley Sticklus, rival outfielders, both col lapsed after chasing countless balls which were batted past them and finally ceased rolling at( Brassco park.
 George Langlois had poor night with the winners whiting on his beloved high balls four different times, knocking into two double plays and finally garnering an An nie Oakley for batting average for the nights entertainment of zero minus. Mahoney's stellar sticking stood out the veteran fly-chaser touching Trask and Langlois for five safeties in as many trips to the plate.
 Chin Music.
 Manager Paulie Dente and Ken Strout of the married men or boys, gave little or rather good deal of chin music after the game blam- ing the loss on the previous night when they were forced to rock the cradle and walk the floor till 3 o'clock in the morning. The agony by innings:

LEW MASSEY FIRST STEP IN SINGERS
 NEW TITLE DRIVE

New York, June 1S-CUP)- Al Singers chances of shattering box ings precedent against champions regainng lost iaureis will be tested tonight when the 21-year-old for mer worlds lightweight titleholder meets Lew Massey of Philadelphia in a 10-round bout at Madison Square Garden.
 The bout will be Singers first ring appearance since he lost his title to Tony Canzoneri on H5 second knockout, Nov 14, 1880, and Al Hopes it will be stepping stone to his goal of resaining the cham pionship he won from Sammy Man dell in the first round of Q scheduled 10-round contest at Yankees Stad- ium last July
 Hard to Repeat.
 If Singer repeats as q champion he will be the first man to do so in the lightweight class. Jackie Thomp- son, current welterweight champion is in possession or the 147-pound title for the second time but no other world champion ever has re- gained a championship after being dethroned.
 Massey, although a capable feath- erweight, is not expected to provide serious obstacle to Singers como back effort. The Philadelphian has outpointed such good boys at Bat Battalino and Eddie Shea but is not dangerous puncher. All is at his best when he knows there is no danger of being knocked out and should gallop his way to a decision

 Expect Large Classes
 This is the second year the classes have been sponsored. Last summer there were over 900 girls enrolled which forced the directors to divide the number into classes of sixty swimmers. Many of these were non- swimmers, but after d series of con secutive lessons graduated from that class to that of swimmers. No girl is obliged to sign up for the classes. but just present herself at the "Y" pool on Tuesdays and Thursdays and enjoy the lessons under the super vision of the Misses Cronin and Me- Kenna and Assistant Physical di- rector, Bud Davis.

On account of the St Mary's boys preparing for graduation tonight, the Senior Parochial league game scheduled for o'clock this after noon with Sacred Heart was post poned until tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. Harry Melvin's outfit clinched the pennant by defeating Sts Peter and Paul Monday after noon, but inasmuch as the outcome of the contest with the Hearts will have an important bearing on the final standing of the latter, it was deemed advisable to play it off.

St Margaret and St Thomas will have their bat tie for the cellar at Fulton Park this afternoon o'clock.

Lee WyckOff Tossed
 By Henri Deglane

Hartford, June 1S-Henri Deg lane, squat Canadian grap- pier who wears the ermine cham pionship robe of the Bowser fac tion, spent little time at the Hurley stadium last night demonstrating that, whoever is the logical aspirant to the heavyweight throne, it is cer- tainly not Lee Wyckoff, former University of St Louis athlete.
 The burly wrestler slammed Wyckoff to the mat with a flying tackle for the first fall of their fea ture bout and climbed through the ropes a short time later, still wear ing the heavyweight "grunting and grooming 'diadem after easily flat tening the college star with double barlock for the second fall in seven minutes and n seconds.

LAKEWOOD BOUTS START AT 9P. M.
 NEXT SATURDAY
Promoter Makes New Ace cOmmOdatiOn for WOrk- ing Fans = Card Looks Good

In order to accommodate boxing fans who are required to work until 3 o'clock Saturday evening, Promo ter George Mulligan of the Water bury A. C. has decided to start the first bout on this weeks fight pro gram at Lakewood as near to 9 D. m. as possible. The half hour difference in starting time, is ex- pected to be an added convenience for many fans, due to. the use of day light saving time, and the move was made after a number of requests by men who would like to see as much of the card as possible.
 Return Bout
 This week, there is some great .ac- tion in line for the faithful. From top to bottom the card IS full of hard-hitting pugilists, with two bouts on the program that will be nothing short of modified murder. Customers who sat in on the Marty Sampson Battling Archie numbe: last week will surely be back to see them perform again, this time in the eight round semi-final. And it will be a wow! As for the winner, you can toss coin. Sampson won last week, but the fight was as close as Indian summer.
 Zawackie Able
 Leo Larrivee. who has proven a strong local attraction despite many appearances will show in the main bout of ten rounds against Johnny Zawackie of Paterson, N. J. These middleweights are said to be a real test for one another, and were orig inally matched for Madison Square Garden several weeks ago, but the bout fell through. Mike Toronto and Jerry McLarn, two of the hard est hitters in Connecticut ringdom. meet in six round sally that will he worth the price of admission, as the bout is sure to turn into an old fashioned slam bang number from start to finish. Andry Strong, the Washington carpenter meets Joe Ar mold of Town Plot in a four round go, with Kid Hershey and Freddy Freeman in a four round special, First bout 9 p. m.

CLUB LEADERS LEARN.
JUDGING STANDARDS
State College Clothing Special
ist Lectures at Meetings
Held Here

Time spent on the fundamentals
Of clothing judging is essential in or
der that clothing club girls may learn
how to select garments and fabrics
which will give them the best returns
in wearing qualities and appearance.
according to Miss Edna Sommerfield
extension clothing specialist of the
State Agricultural college, who spoke
to club leaders and delegates from
All clubs at meetings held here Fri
day and Saturday.
Miss Sommerfield stated that work
in clothing judging is a part Of the
regular club program and helps to
establish standards in selection and
construction toward which All
Clothing club girls are working. Not
only does this system call attention
to the points which indicate gar
ment's quality. she said. but the habit
OF careful observation thus gained
makes It possible for the girls to de-
tect errors In their own work.
Judging may be done In two ways
First, garments may be judged off
the individual and secondly, the
judging may be done while the girl
is wearing the complete costume.
Miss Sommerfield discussed and ex-
planned both types of judging stating
that the same score cards were used
in judging the county and state fair
