WOOSTER BOWLERS TO ROLL MERIDEN
 MONDAY NIGHT

GIeridcn. Sept S-Manager Frank Gri-co of the Casino bowling alleys on State street, has brought a stel- lar attraction here for exhibition purposes on the occasion of the alleys formal opening on next Monday night in the shape of the Waterbury Woosters.
 The Woosters will hook up against the strong Casino All-Stars of Meriden in what should prove a close and exciting match. and bring out plenty of good timber topping as both teams boast real stars of thealeys Some idea of the type of competition which may be expect ed when the two clash may be gathered from the fact that the Meriden team triumphed last year by the very narrow margin of fve pins. ..s t ,s
 The Meriden lineup for the con- test will include such acknowledged aces as Herb Racker, Chet Santora, Gus Vollschlager, Leo Borkowski. Eddie Bcrnski and Frank Vance. Against these stars Waterbury will use Sena, Thompson, Dante, Zaza and Tato.
 The two arrays will meet in a return engagement at the Wooster alleys, Waterbury, next Wednesday night, September 14.
 The Casino All-Stars.. onie of the outstanding quintets in the state last year will be the center of at- tcntion of bowling fans when they appear ance week at the Casino alleys in matches against the states best until the many leagues which use the Casino alleys begin to operate and claim some of the spotlight. They will also play weekly matches on the road. Manager Grieco has renovated his establishment extensively duf- ing the summer, all, alleys having been refinishe .dand equipped with new pins. The place. will be. open for public inspection on Monday night. an 9.@ r., ,

In 1929 he was optioned to St Paul fin the American associa- ton, where he. played 168 games at third base, again batted .336 and pilfered 26 sacks.

 ball, he helped the Cleveland In- dians beat Brooklyn for the cham pionship. Now, 12 years later. his sun sinking rapidly. Joe is in there to battle for the Yankee cause. It may be his last world series. Great little ballplayer. this Joe Sewell! The only one cast from an unusual mold! He's just about the loudest guy that ever spit into a ffelder's glove. but off the diamond he's quiet; almost timid.
 A combination of three things made him famous. One was a trag- edy. Ray Chapman, Clcveland's spectacular shortstop, was killed by pitched ball few days before the 1920 world series. A hurried call was made for Joe at New Or leans, where he had been playing since his graduation from Univer- sity of Alabama. He was asked to fill the gaping hole in the Tribe infield. He did-for eight years.
 His keen eyes gave him another distinction, that of being the hard est fellow to get out at the plate the game has known. In 10 years with Cleveland, he struck out only 99 times. Four of these years he tanned four times, or less. a season. He was, and still Is. a 300 hitter, consistent and dependable in the pinches.
 Joe's iron physique gave him his other record. He played 1102 con- secutive ball games for Cleveland. which stood good as world record for consecutive games with one club until broken this year by Lou GehriG.
 Nine o'clock is Joe's bedtime every right. He gets new suit only when the old one is worn out. He smokes cigars, but nobody ever saw him buy one. He may no thave the first nickel he ever earned but there won't ever be need for benefit baseball games to help little Joe Sewcl1,
