EXTRA! FIREMEN OVERCOME WHEN
 CAP KELLY MODS
Smokeaters Lose Comedy of Errors to Reporters, l2 to IT, as Manager Sleeps on Base

With base hits as thick as 3.2 taverns on Bank street, the demon pencil pushing Reporters overcame the aged Bremen aggregation in their annual Comedy of Errors last night at Washington Park, 12 to II, in a five inning fracas.
 Captain "Shootsey" Kelly was overcome for the first time in his life when he was nailed by "Er- TOTS" Howard on Sleeper" play off third base in the final inning So unexpected was the play that reserve smookeaters rushed on the field with the respirator.
 "Cap" Kelly and Lieutenant Hughey Cunningham had good nights at the bat. but each one of their hits were the result of their coaches taking the minds of either the third baseman or first sacker off the game. Billy Earth, who had plenty of smoke when he wore a Washington school uniform, was not himself last night, being pounded for 16 hard wallops. blamed on the fact that at 5:55 D. m. yesterday the alarm sounded. sending him to brush fire.
 All in all the fans got quite a kick out of the antics of both clubs. Thrills were offered by the sensational and unconscious catches of Jim Calvin and Billy Cavanaugh in the Scribes outer works. Frankie Moore failed to come out of his batting slump, as he has done all year, batting into two double plays, flaming once and grounded out to first.

WATERFOWL CIVIC
 UNION AIDS IN
 SUBURBAN WORK
Organization to Benefit By Horse Show and Gym Khana Sunday at Hunt Club

Entries are pouring in from all sections of the state for the horse show and gymkhana to be held Sunday afternoon at the Water town Hunt Club for the benefit of the Waterbury Life Adjustment Center and the Watertown Civic Union Tennis Court.
 The Watertown Civic Union came into existence shortly after the war. sponsored by the late Harley Roberts of the Taft school. From the start. it's work has been made possible through the volun- tary subscriptions of the public spirited citizens of Watertown.
 At the present time the work of the Civic Union consists of a num- Der of valuable projects which con- tribute directly to the welfare of a large number of the population of Watertown and Oakville.
 First among the activities stands Miss Mary Wheaton, Winter and summer she makes her rounds through the widely scattered dis tricts of Watertown, Oakville and Guernseytown, bringing relief and comfort to those in need, as only an experienced nurse can do. Par ticularly in these years of depres- sion has this service shown its great value.
 Next in line comes the play ground situated on the Civic Union grounds in Watertown, where, un- hn c,,nprvicinr of q frainoI ai. rector, Miss Edith DeBonis, the children of the neighborhood may enjoy healthful games and sports removed from the dangers of traf- fic. The playground is equipped with swings, wading pool sand boxes, baseball field, deck-tennis court, and sand slides. A start has been made on the tennis courts, which the Civic Union is most anx- ious to bring to completion.
 In addition to these activities, sewing and handicraft classes are held twice week, a feature day once a week, and Saturday hike to Lake Winnamaug for swimming and games.
 The winter activities of the Civic Union consist of two gymnasium classes for young men and one for the younger boys under the able direction of Albert Schwenterley
 Last year q cooking class for young women past schol age, was started and proved both successful and papular. The young women were trained to plan simple. well bal anced menus, do their own buying and keeping to a certain budget per meal. The course ran through the winter and afforded a practical series of lessons in home econom- ics. The direction of Mrs Mary Bartlett contributes in no small measure to the success of this class.
 In addition, to these projects, the Civic Union Building provides fla cilities for a movie theater. bowl ing alleys and rooms where social and fraternal affairs may be held.
 The officers of the Watertown Civic Union tre as follows: Harry Heminway, president; George Beach. vice-president; William Bartlett, secretary; Randolph Betts treasurer; board of directors. Dr M. Heminway Merriman, Merritt Heminway. Rodney. Chase. Wilfred Bryan. Mrs Andrew Mcintosh, Co., lin Barrett, John Cassidy.

Never before has this trotting classic. the eighth in the series, been clouded up so blackly with likely colts and fillies. In other years favorites were established weeks before, but this year the race named after immortal Hambleton- ian 10 is as much a dark mystery as if no dress rehearsals" for the big show had ever been held.
 Different This Year
 Usually the earlier stakes give horsemen and fans a fair ldea of what's what as far as the liam bletonin victor Is concerned. Ger tain advance races are considered fool-poor barometers. But not this year.
 King Ben, William H. Cranes likely colt, won the first heat or the Matron Stake at Cleveland Tn 2:O4 S-5 and was set up as favorite until he threw a shoe in the sec ond heat, fell sick, and dropped ont of the running. But he came hack in the American Stake No l at Salem, and his backing Is strong again.
 Spencer McElwyn, who won the Matron Stake at Cleveland after King Ben met with misfortune, was a 2-1 winter book favorite for the Hambletonian and, although not LID to standard after North Randall. he still has his following.
 Mary Reynolds with victories in the championship Stallion Stake at Cleveland. and the Penlsular Farms event at Toledo, was classed as the outstanding three year-old of the country and a sure fire winner at Goshen. But that was before Brown Derby waltzed away with honors in the American Stake at Rockingham.
 Brown Berry, owned by the Lytle Brothers of Plainville, N. J.' so casually triumphed over Mary Reynolds that the colt has stamped himself of championship caliber.
 Atlantic volo a Threat
 Walter Long Shot" Cox has a horse in the Hambletonian that carries a threat in each hoof. He ia Atlantic Volo, owned by l. Q. Blake of New York. Trained care fully all winter and spring, this horse, not considered to have Q chance early in the year, won the three-year old Casleton trot at Salem so handily that he forced himself into the limelight.
 Other colts and fillies which have been performing well to date and who should not be far behind the leader at Goshen, are: Hollywood Portia, ito be driven by his million aire owner, John L. Dodge of Lex ington, ky; Sir Raleigh, owned by Allan J. Wilson of Boston, and a winter book favorite at 2-1 with Spencer McElwyn; Calumet Don aid, owned and driven by Will F. Catin, the driver who piloted the Marchioness home victor in the Hambletonian last year, and Dick Reynolds.
 Altogether there are 40 fleet footed eligibles to the big trot. This represents six more than a year ago.
 With no dearth of favorites, IF to 15 starters are expected at Gosh en, the largest field ever to get the starting gun in the Hambletonian.

Since signifying his intentions of studying at the classical institution, the strapping son of Sergeant and Mrs Joseph Bagley, has been work ing out now and then at Hamilton Park with Schofield in the company of like" Kern. former Crosby plunging halfback, and candidate for a similar position at Colgate this year. z
 An Experienced Lad
 Bagley has had plenty of experi- ence on the gridiron, holding down an end berth with Wilby high and the pivot station with the Strat- ford Academians last season. He quit Wilby before graduating and then studied at Sam Johnson. His enrolling at Crosby should be good news to the blue and white follow CTS ~after the mediocre season of 1883 when tie game with Wilby was the years best effort.
 Good Hoop Player
 In addition to football, Schofield should have a possibility of an out standing basketball star, as Bagley performed with the Johnson uuin- tet and with the Wilby Reserves. in addition to playing with the Sigmas in the Y. M. c. A. Inter- club league. The East End lad stands six feet four inches in his stocking feet, which is nothing to be sneezed at. In fact he should prove the tallest center in state scholastic circles next year.
