However, the cost of playing the game this year in the Brass City, like potatoes, tomatoes and celery .. will be cheaper. With the prospect of competition from the municipal links on East Mountain. lower rates have been arranged at the Mattatuck Country Club, and a special membership created at the Waterbury Country Club. The municipal links, which was fig ured to draw fifty cents per GUS. .toner for IS holes of play, will probably have to start off with a. 35 cent rate, with the half dollar chorge on Saturdays and Sundays
 Ready to Start
 Next Saturday the Mattatuck Club greens will be opened with new and lower greens fees in ef- feet. On weekdays, one may play the Mattatuck course for a dollar. with $1.50 the charge on Satur- days, Sundays and holidays. Then. as added inducement, a summer membership from July to Sep tember 1 can be had for $25, but with the one dollar rate, the vol tune of play this season is expect ed by club officials to be consid- erably increased.
 Election Necessary
 Officers of the Waterbury Coun- try Club have voted a $50 mem bership this season, allowing play from April IS to September Is in- elusive. However, persons taking advantage of this offer must be duly invited and elected to mem- bership in the Waterbury Country Club, exactly the same as full year membership in the Waterbury Country Club, exactly the same as full year membership owners. In other words, the course is not to be opened to anyone who wishes to pay $50 for the special rnem- bership. Greens fees will remain the same as last season.

FIVE BOUTS SET FOR WATERBURY
 A.C. MAT SHOW
Godfrey, Giant Negro Meets Chapman in Main Tilt to a Finish

Grapplers from many parts of the nation will make a showing at the Phoenix Avenue Arena tomor- row night under the auspices of the Waterbury A. c. Topping the bill is the gigantic 26o pound George Godfrey of Lieperville. Pa. who was forced to turn to wrest- ling when his age held him back from securing top-notch boxing attractions. His last fight of any importance was with a slightly larger man than he, Primo Car nera, whom he fouled in the fourth round at Philadelphia.
 In The Go.
 Since that time, Godfrey has managed to grab pork chop money on tour, boxing one night, wrest- ling the next and giving the cus- toners just what they want as long as they will pay a little for their entertainment.
 Tomorrow night, Godfrey shows in Waterbury for the first time. meeting Lord Chapman in finish match, one fall to decide the win ner. Tn his last start, two eve- nings ago, in New Britain, God frey finished his opponent in IT minutes, which means that he has picked up considerable knowledge of the game to use with his 260 pounds and hitting ability. God frey, an old man in the boxing game, is ripe for wrestling and has developed into good attraction, the proof of which is the fact that he is working steadily.
 Police Teacher.
 Professor Joe Ricci, who is credited with showing the Jersey City cops how. to handle the tough boys will do his stuff for half hour or less on the person of Jack Burns, New Yorker. Mike Polo, an Oklahoma redskin, will go to 1t with Julius Turner of Meriden in the semi-final match and Mike promises to Turner Julius easily. Ray Miller and Demond Gardini will wrestle for 30 minutes while Jack Olsen of Washington and Tony Spalla of Newark open the show in a time limit bout, at S:30 D. m.

 MEN WITH REDS

History repeats itself in Holy Cross baseball. For the second time in recent years, a trio of former Holy Cross baseball players is with a big league baseball team. Owen Carroll, Joe Morrissey and Jim Shevlin are with Cincinnati. The other time was in 1906 when 6ar- rigan, Hoey and Flynn were signed by the Red Sox.
 Morrissey is the only player of the group not trying for the posi- ton he played in college. He came bag was we'll guarded, but he to Holy Cross a first baseman. The could hit, and he was sent to right field. He made good and when he started professional baseball he went to the same pasture. How ever, year before last, Manager Coleman of Evansville decided he would have a 1ong-reaching, rangy second baseman instead of a small man.
 Morrissey played such a good game that St Paul bought him. But the Saints had capable second sacker and put Morrissey at short. Again he made good, the Reds buying him at the close of the sea- son,

Coming from behind a 2 to 0 lead in the second period, Al Schott and his Chase Company basketball team came through with a 27 to IS win over the Company G hoop array last night at the cen- traI Y. M. c. A. court. Proceeds of the game and dance that fol- lowed, went to the relief fund of Wheeler Young Post, Veterans ot Foreign Wars. About 300 people were in attendance.
 Sharpshooting by Sweeney Grady and O'Brien plus some strong floor work and passing by Schott brought the Chasers behind 8-7 count at half time, after which they went out and won with ease as the guardsmen's shooting was about as accurate as a rubber barreled rifle. The game was rough in spots, but entertaining to the fans throughout. The Har- nick boys and Herb Colby stood out for the losers.

trick J. Hurley, secretary Of war. told
the Republican state convention Mon
day President Hoover has pointed
the way to Sterilization" of worldwide
economic conditions.
The secretary, whose home town Is
Tulsa, Okla, was giving the keynote
address.
THE president has pointed the way
to Sterilization" said the World war
veteran. In Europe he led the way
for an international moratorium to
prevent the collapse Of one great ma
ton and to supply credit to others. In
the Orient, the parties Of the nine
power treaty and the pact Of Paris
and the League of Nations have fol-
lowed his policies and acknowledges
his leadership. At home, he submitted
a program for economic reconstruc-
ton that largely has been enacted in
to law by house Of representatives
controlled by his political opponents"
Hurley said he was disappointed
that Speaker John Garner, Demo-
crat, Texas, had attempted to make
q political issue" out Of the preSi-
dents suggestion that bureaus be con-
solidated and governmental expenses
curtailed.
Every item Of the presidents pro-
gram, declared Hurley, us aimed at
