 Az for the local city court, 1t is not known which judge will go out and the same goes for the prose- cutors. Judge John F. McGrath is the present senior judge, however, and Prosecutor Emil Hummel is the senior prosecutor. What the democrats will insist on in connec- ton with the third prosecutor Is yet to be learned.
 Attorneys James. M. Lynch and Patrick Healey are mentioned al the present time for the city court judgeship.
 In the common pleas court the term of Judge Miles McNiff expires next April. At present the other member of the bench of the local common pleas court is . democrat, Judge Edward J. Finn. Ills term runs to 1895. What the democrats will do in the case of Judge Me- Mfr is matter of doubt but 1t ia likely that he will be renamed with an effort made, though, to have q change made in the prosecutorship and one of the c1erkships.
 The term of Dr Joseph Borchardt of this city as e member of tho state dental commission expires during the coming administration Sc does the term of State Athletic Commissioner Thomas Donahue His deputy, appointed by MT Dona. hue, is Senator Joseph H.

prevented from passing for a con- siderable length of time. Busses going to Winsted and Thomaston were forced to use side streets to get by the flood in order to keep up their schedules.
 The Connecticut Light & Power company escaped with little or no damage. Only one Interruption in service in the Waterbury di- vision resulted from the storm and that occurred in Naugatuck last night at -9:19 o'clock. The ser- vice was off only minute, being restored at 9:20 o'clock.
 The Southern New England Telephone company reported only IS or 20 lines out of order in Waterbury. This was due to the fact. 1t was believed. that the un- derground cable system hid the lines of the company away from the force of the wind.
 The street department received calls from various sections of the city concerning washouts and paved streets covered with mud and rocks from neighboring hilly thoroughfares. In the Bunker Hill section the greatest damage was done around Delaware ave- nue. There a place is set aside on the l.. R. Carter property for flooding during the winter months so that tho residents may enjoy skating. This area became filled last night and went over the wate- way. Cellars in the vicinity were flooded, causing much damage to private property.
 The Chestnut Hill reservoir over- flowed at the height of the storm, covering the roadway. The Nau- gatuck and Mad rivers, as we'll as steele's brook. were also up very high.
 This morning the Naugatuck river was running very high and was only q few feet below the top of the arches of the Freight street bridge. Towards noon, however, the river begans.to show Q great drop. The Mad river was also quite high at tho East Main street

 brook was up quite high.. On Watertown avenue near Con-
 igton avenue, sewer excavation caved in for few feet. A Wor- den's truck dropped into the open ing during the early morning hours and was held there for q few hours. Nobody was hurt, however. At Lakewood park considerable overflowing from surface water was apparent, causing hard travelling. Private property suffered con siderably as a result of the wind. Limbs of trees were blown down in all sections of the city. blinds were broken, shingles were blown off many houses and hanging signs were subjected to a severe strain. The Naugatuck river was filled with debris of all kinds. mostly trees and tree limbs. which float cd along with the swift current,

Three Connecticut company busses in other sections of the city were also disabled during the morn ing as a result of the rain seeping into the ignition systems on the vehicles. Delays here were short but held up many travellers.
 Thomaston avenue was flooded for a distance of 500 feet or more in the vicinity of Homer street and 'Thomaston avenue by rain which backed up from the storm water sewers. The sewers were inade- quate. Efforts have been going on for quite a while to have the city increase the size. or the storm wa ter drainage system at this point. Cellars of homes and stores along this stretch were flooded. The wa ter came up over the floor of the Blue Bird Grill on Thomaston ave- nue and chairs and other articles of furniture were floating around.

 Stopped in the corridor by John Farley, brother of James Farley, she chided him when he kissed her hand by saying, You must have just come over from the other side.

 trict showed Gormley as running approximately 26O behind Cover nor Cross, while in the other two districts of the first ward the Nau- gatuck man was close up behind the governor.
 For instance, in the first district he ran only behind Governor Cross and in the second he was only 38 behind the governor. In the sixth district. which is usually considered a republican district and, therefore, taken as logical district for comparison, Gormiey's vote was 26 ahead of that of Gov ernor Cross. In the other districts of the city the Gormley vote was near that of Governor Cross. therefore. the question arose as to how Gormley ran so far behind in just one district out of the 20.
 Registrars O'COnnor and Dtllane, however, opened the machines in the third and reported back that the totals originally reported were correct. This leaves the mystery to be solved by the political lead ers--why did 0ormley receive such q terrific slashing in the third?
 The corrected figures on Gormley and Goss for. Waterbury show Gormley as redeiying 1926 votes here as compared with 18.277, the original newspaper report. Goss figure is 13.3s5. This makes GormIey's majority in Waterbury 4,861, which Is ten. less than the total originally announced in the newspaper reports.
 Judge Gormley stated at New Haven to-day that he would moi decide for a day or two whether or not to ask for q recount of the fifth congressional district vote He said that he is sitting tight for . day or two and will have nc statement to make until he has had Q chance to study the situation. Attorney Vincent Sculiy and Judge Gormiey were busy through. out the district to-day investigat. ing doubtful returns but up unti early this afternoon no change came that would indicate Q vic. tory for Judge Gormley.

TANKS "SETn ON MOUND

If the acquisition of the best rightLhander on the Red Sox staff, Danny MacFayden, doesn't keep the Yankees on top of the Ameri- can League, they can't blame the depression or any lack of coop eration by the Boston Club.
 In exchange for MaeI'ayden the Yankees no doubt parted with at least $25.000 in cash, besides two partially damaged pieces of pitch ing ivory They now possess, in MacFayden, Ruffling, Pipgras, Pen mock, Allen and Lefty Gomez, the best pitching staff the club has had in ten years.
 Pennock, still crafty and capable, is the only survivor of the first Yankee championship staff that included Bob Shawkey, Carl Mays, Sam Jones and Waite Hoyt.

 BILLED TONIGHT
Decisive Game of First Half Washed Out Last
 Night by Rain

In the vital game of the first half of the City League season, the one which will make or wreck the hopes of the American Legion for the first half championship, that club will play the Elks at City Park tonight-always provid- ed that weather permits.
 This is the third time this par ticular game has been billed. It was scheduled originally for June 3, just three weeks ago Rain wash ed it out, and last night, the se- cond time it was scheduled, rain again caused postponement.
 Neither team took any chances last night of default. Although it had been raining almost steadily since mid-afternoon, both teams turned out in force. Fans were not so concerned and none of them turned out. Umpire in Chief Nos trand called off the game with out starting play.
 Jimmy Manning will start for the Elks on the mound He has had a long rest and ought to be in first class shape. Ben Wilson and Pete Schmttz are slated to divide the pitching burden for the Vets, and Bob Keaton will be held in re- serve in case of need.
 The ex-soldiers must win in order to cop the bunting. If the Elks win, the three clubs will be tied and some kind of playoff will be necessary to determine the win ner of the first half.

 ASSERTS HAYWORTH

DETROIT, Mich, June 24.-Why are most catchers bald? A barber queried about it, said backstops frequently were bald because they jerked off their masks and caps so often and pulled out large locks of hair with the tugs.
 Ray Hayworth, the Detroit back stop, who goes hatless eight months Of the year, asserts the mask and cap stop circulation of the blood and that catchers should not wear cap or hat off the field if they want to preserve their hair.

The odds should be at least to l against any of the topflight contenders in the national open golf championship to be played out on Lond Island, including such stalwarts of Sarazen, Armour, Far rcll, Burke, Von Elm and Mac Smith.
 Offhand we wouiG say the win ner should be found late in June among these half dozen stars, with Sarazen, Von Elm the prime choic- es of them all.
 Sarazen is a first class maker to win because he was the pro for years at Fresh Meadow, scene of the tournament, and Fresh Mea- dow happens to pay off on the kind of a long, smashing game that Gene possesses. Von Elm and Armour also will find this tough loyout well suited to their slashing styles, Von Elm has been close to winning the open several times, lost only after 72 hole playoff with Bill Burke last year, and may fight his way to the top this time.
 The chances of the golfers in ''the field" the 116 who qualified sectionally, can be written off at long odds. We should say the prospects of most were just about 1l6 to against, although we would not care to risk anything like that against the prospects of so good a golfer as Fred Morrison, winner of the rich Agua Calente open last winter and Los Angeles district qualifier.
