Our own Harry Conway took the spotlight this week by rolling Al for high single and 269 for high three. That moves Harry into the first position.
 That unassuming young chap who calls himself sMike'' Higgiston surprised the whole crowd by roll- ing 127 for high single and 337 for high three averaging 112 for the three games. I think we will hear more from "Milze" in the future.. That Devito team, composed of the Bowling league committeeman, rolled very badly this week. Per- haps due to the absence of their
 captain, Johnny Devito. Acting Captain, Chatter Morrissey has before they bowl, to report at the down and an inspirational talk by none other than our old friend Solomon Friendman, who will take as his subject: Spinach Three Times a Day will Increase Your Vitolity."
 Our newest of bridegrooms Ray McGrath, had a disastrous evening on the alleys, rolling a mere 260 for three games. Ray, you should improve as time goes on.
 'T Won't Bowr' Kopiczh, the man who would put the South Da- kota Hog callers to shame in mat ters of lung power, had a hard evening this past Monday as his team lost 2 games by a margin of only 9 pints each. Johnny was all wound up, but his teammates fell down on him once again.
 Did our Edward Devine take the gas when COnway's team took 5 games away from him and his Gas Exhalers, and in one of the games only by 1 pin.. Ask Edward when you see him about tho robbery.
 Soloman Friendman, our worthy trustee, has been commissioned by the Bowling league committee to purchase a quantity of ros1n and to assist a certain few bowlers in applying the same rosin onto their hands. This safeguard is being made so that these bowlers will be able to keep the balls out of the gutters. Solomon has the com plete list of the bowlers who will
 require this service, but he his un-

ROCHESTER HANDS
 SISLER RELEASE
Veteran First Baseman Refuses to Di scus s Plans About His Future

Rochester, N. Y, oct 15-George Sisler, at one time during his long career in the majors rated one of the greatest first basemen that ever lived, yesterday was handed his unconditional release by the Rochester club of the International League. Refusing to discuss plans for the future, the veteran left im- mediately after receiving notifica- ton for his home in St Louis, the scene of his greatest diamond achievements
 Sisler engaged in more than f60 games during the 1881 season and batted 1901. He was injured in the recent ''little world series" which Rochester won from St Paul.
 A graduate of the University of Michigan, Sisler was an outstand- ing figure for 16 years, beginning with the St Louis Browns as a pitcher. He was quickly converted into a first baseman, however. Branch Hickey, then manager of the Browns being quick to recog- nize the left handlers ability at the plate. He set many records, winding up his big league career with the Boston Braves and ac- counting for an al1-time batting record of .344 in the majors. Bill McKechnie, of the Hub outfit, shunted him to the minors when he brought up Earl Sheely to play first. base.
 Sisler started on the down grade in 1922 when he was stricken with sinus trouble. However, he fin- ished that season with a batting mark of APO and managed to hang on until last year when the St Louis Cardinal directorate decided he would be just the man to help their Grade A farm to a pennant.

EIGHT COLLEGE TEAMS TO BATTLE
 FOR US. RELIEF
Four Games Set for Yale Bowl and Polo Grounds December 5 and 9

New York, Oct 15. (UP)-Eight majcr eastern college football teams will play in post-season foot ball tournaments in New York and in New Haven, Conn, for the bene- fit of unemployment relief, E. K. Hall, of Dartmouth, chairman of the football rules committee, an- nounced last night.
 Yale, Brown, Holy Cross. and Dartmouth will play 20-minute games with one another, under a round-robin plan, in Yale Bowl December 5.
 Columbia, Princeton. Cornell and University of Pennsylvania will play under similar plan at one of the baseball parks in New York city on December 9.
 Short Periods
 A playoff game of twenty min- utes between the winners or the elimination games is scheduled, thus providing for four major col lege teams playing three games within a one-hour period.
 Proceeds of the two tourna- ments, less actual expenses, will be divided and distributed among the various colleges represented. The president of each college will be given the power to allocate his col lege's share for unemployment re- lief as he sees fit.
 These tournaments were ar- ranged after plans had been made for army and navy to play a bene- fit game at Yankee stadium De- cember 12 for unemployment re- lief, and resulted from an appeal of Owen D. Young, chairman of President Hoover's committee on the mobilization of relief resources to college to play at least one bene- fit game.
 More Coming?
 It was believed here that the prompt response of the eight east ern colleges to Young's appeal will result in other post-season games in other sections of the country.
 The Western Conference already has approved post-season unem- ployment benefit games, and big ten officials have extended the sea- son to November 2S to allow for such games.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-15

Fully cognizant of the appeal of Owen D. Young. presidential aide, heading the national unem- ployment relief committee. in which all American school and colleges have been asked to do their bit toward relief of the job less, MT Walsh reminded the writ ter of the prior request of Dr Edward J. Godfrey, local health officer. who needs plenty of money if the splendid system of supply ing Waterbury children with need ed milk, is to be continued.
 Ten Thousand Needed.
 Therefore, Mir Walsh. stated that whatever arrangements are made in the near future with which the board of education is connected, will have as an objective, the raising of badly needed funds to buy milk for school children of this city. About $10,000 is need ed and school commissioners who have discussed the matter have hopes of forming some sort of plan that will bring about the de- sired result-which is, primarily to continue to supply milk to the children.
 Plenty of Work.
 Independent football teams have offered to play for local charity, and the matter of high school ri- vals, such as Crosby and Wilby will also be considered not only dur ing the football season but the following basketball months as well. The question of insurance against injuries will be taken up by a school board committee which is expected to discuss the matter at the next meeting of the board of education, October 26. Local high school principals and coach- es will be interviewed on the matter, particularly with regard to an independent and high school team meeting at Hamilton park for the benefit of the Milk Fund.

FAMOUS RUSSIAN
REVUE WILL BE
SHOWN TONIGHT

Contrary to the impression that
seems to prevail among some. THE
Blue Bird" which will be presented
tonight at Fox Imperial theatre. is
not motion picture but stage
revue.
The curtain will be raised on the
first scene promptly at 7:30, as was
announced earlier in the week. SO
that the production may be con-
cluded to permit those attending To
take part in other attractions which
are planned for this evening.
Likewise, the management of the
theatre and of the revue announce
that the entire production will be
given here, none of the scenes or
personnel being cut.
The Blue Bird is a fascinating
assembly of Russian songs, dances
and tableaux, featuring the famous
CoSsack chorus, which will be heard
in a group of songs of old Russia.
Clever paradoies and burlesques
make up portion of the program.
some of these being sharp satires
on American life and customs as
seen from the Russian viewpoint
Yascha Yushny, director of the
revue, who acts in the same capac-
ity as American masters of cere-
mony, is reputed to be an entire
show in himself, his odd slaughter
ing of the kings English being par
ticularly amusing.
The Blue Bird" has received the
acclaim of the press wherever it
has been staged and presents en-
tertainment of an exceptionally
high order. 1t has been seen in all
the capital cities of Europe and in
the larger eastern cities of the
United States. Its date here was
made possible by breaking the jump
from Phoenix, where it played last
night. to San Diego, where it will
open tomorrow.
Fom San Diego the production
will go to Los Angeles for an ex-
tended stay.
