 Many of the odtmers tried it. but Baers performance

 Naugatuck, Dec 21-Frank Ed ey, brilliant football and basket ball player, are the men Nauga- tuck highs future opponents will have to check if thy hope to win. This was proved again last night when this pair piled up a total of 21 points between them as the To- calls took a speedy and close game from Pawtucket hig hof Rhode 1s- land, 39-31.
 It was the best game played on the Y court the the high school team this year. Naugatuck again demonstrated plenty of speed but thed needed it for the visitors were by no means slow on their feet. The Pawtucket team used long passes but weer very skillful around the basket, taking the ball off the backboards nicely.
 Visitors Lead
 The took a 5-1 lead in the first period but Edwonds and Big Dick" the nfound their eye and soon put the locals in the lead. Tho Garnet led at half time by 20-16 and were never readed during the rest of the game. Karty was out standing for the cisitors.
 Naugutuck's work showed im- provement but there still is room for more. If Geleski who has ben unable toplay because of a leg in- jury. can get back in the. game within couple of weeks. the Gra- net may present serious therat to most state teams.
 The locals will play return game with the Pawtucket team in Pawtucket later in the season. A game with the Collegians is booked for tomorrow night. The score:

EASY FOR HILIIES

In the preliminary Red Glad ney's Raymond Hillies swamped the Speedboy Reserves 39-11 to chalk up their eighth straight of the season. The Hillies put on 8 passing exhibition that baffled the losers and with Freddy Sullivan tossing in nine baskets and a foul for nineteen points the winners were never in danger.
 In the opening period the Hillies held the losers scoreless while they registered twelve points on baskets by Sullivan, Ramon and Cunha. In the second quarter a long shot by Beef Mazzerellla gave the losers their first points of the game and soon after Teddy Goumey made good one of two foul shots to make the third point for the Speedboys but they could do no more scoring in that period.
 In the third period the losers were able to score only one hoop that being long shot by Cliff Waugh. The Hillies used the re- Serves in the final period and Cap Cusick came through with two baskets in the final minutes of play to take scoring honors for the Eganmen with four points.
 The Hillles' next opponet will be the Bunker Hill Juniors and the game will be held New Years night at Bunker Hill. Last nights summary:

III the AInerlcau leARues
 Although his fire ball lost some of it's zip, Grove, turned in the best pitching job on the circuit last season.
 He hurled in 45 games-eight within II. days-"Lefty' won "A contests while dropping only eight.
 His percentage was .750 and placed him in a tie with Russell Van Alta of the Yankees. But Van Alta, like the three pitchers who ranked above him, didn'e even come close in the number of games played.
 Not So Bad
 Here's few of. the feats which the southpaw artist turned in:
 Pitched 275 innings, hurled three extraa inning games, scored two shut outs; topped the league by completing 21 games out of 2S starts. He also won 20 or more games, hurled 250 Or more innings and allowed less than 100 earned runs for his sixth successive year. It was the seventh straight year in which he has pitched 20 or more complete games. Grove also had the distinction of stopping the Yankees continuous scoring streak by shutting them out August 3, after they had scored in sos straight contests.
 General Alvin Crowder of Wash ington worked more games than any other hurler, 52, but his in- nings pitched, 299, was exceeded by Irving Hadley who threw 317 frames fir St Louis. Crowder won as many games as Grove but lost 15.
 Bravo For Bridges.
 While there were no hitless games, Tommy Bridges of Detroit turned in a pair of one-hit per- formances. Lefty" Gomez of the Yankees led in strikeouts with 163 while Hadley awarded the most walks, 141..

NezU Deal BoCling Bits

The second round of bowling is over and three teams are tied for first place-Saginarios, Cappano and Sullivan. Caps team sure lost heart breaker when "Sag's' team tied and then beat them on the roll off. Howard started with a strike and Sag" made it sure with another.
 Frank Holleran is now leading the league with high single of 136 and Happy" Howard is leading with high three of 344.
 Quinnie is now hitting on high. Carl Basile almost went through the floor when he missed @ couple of easy spares.
 Hiser got out of sick bed to lose two games. Sullivan gets the pins regardless of his hop-skip-and- jump ball. Fitz of Sag's team came through with the spare that tied Caps team.
 Poor Joe Naclerio seems to be in rut, but let's hope he will snap out of it.
 Mucinno with three men, was in hard luck, but little bird told me a good bowler will be on hand next Tuesday night, so look out.
 Andy Pace tried hard to help his team to win but he fell short of l pin. Better luck next time, Andy.
 Schuster on Caps team is com ing along great. His 116 looked good until Holleran and Cap beat him.
 See you next Tuesday on the old alleys.

SchOfieId Shooters Win 33-l5 Verdict as Defen-
 sive Play Stands Out

Indicating the makings of a workable defense against almost any style of basketball opposition, but needing a little polish in their work near the hoops, Crosby's 1933-34 hoop hopefuls started the season with a 33-15 win over Leavenworth high last night at Wilby gym before about 400 young fans. Only for the first period was the game interesting, the eight minute session ending 8-4 in Cros- by's favor, several long shots in behalf of Leavenworth bounding on. around and off the irons, but not through the nets.
 Big Boys
 Better than average height in the frames of five Crosby players will aid the teams attack and de- fense materially as the season have already developed consider able velocity and accurate passing up to the territory flanking the hoops. Leavenworth crowded their opponents for the first half, which ended 13-6 and with different com- binations tried, the second half total of 20 points showed improve ment in the attack and scoring. Joe Bagley, 76 inches tall, was played at left guard and did thor oughly good job on defense, block ing several Leavenworth passes into his half of the court as well as securing the ball off the boards and from a number of scrimmages. Bartolini at center worked well enough, but the forwards were not too impressive despite the fact that Wilbur Dunn pushed in 13 points. The Blue-Whites should shape up a little better against their Alumni Christmas night.
 For Leavenworth, Krasnosky and Troske at center were noticeable, scoring eleven points between them. The score:

A LEXANDER THE GREAT is
n one of those lads who stalk
through the pages of the ancient
history textbooks like heroes of old
mythologies.
They are there, and we've all read
about them, and they most I'M
deniably were big shots in their
days; but their day was over long
ago. and it's pretty hard to realize
that they ever really lived and got
hungry, or angry, or happy or tipsy
like ordinary folk.
Arthur Weigall, that tireless
chronicler of the distant past,
comes forward now with Alexander
the Great and tries to fit warm
flesh about the rafting bones of the
famous OLD conqueror.
He does a pretty good job, too,
and if you want to find out who
Alexander was and how he did it,
this book will tell you in a most
painless fashion.
Alexander, in Mr.. WeigallS pre-
sentation, was neither the great
strategist nor the great empire
builder that history ordinarily
makes him.
He was first. last and all the time
a herman tighter. He won his bat
ties by dashing into the hottest part
of the fighting, taking his gang in
with him and staying there until
the other fellow had dropped.
This book is longer, as the old
saying goes, than f1appers dream.
But it's exciting and, believe, suit
ably scholarly for the erudite. Pub
Ished by Putnam, it sells for $500.
