Political Gossip

That the fight for the U. S. senatorial nomination at the democratic state convention will be fought out between Congressman Francis T. Ma loney of NIeridcn and Profes- sor Harry Morgan Ayres of Westport, with Labor Com missioner Joseph M. Tone talk ing no part in the contest, ap. pears to be certainty now, judging reports from through out the state. The fact that Dr E. G. Dolan of Manchester last night formally declared that he will not seek the sena- torial nomination does not al- ter the situation any, in the opinion of the party leaders, because it was not expected from the start that he would throw his hat into the ring.
 Surprise, however, was ex- pressed on all sides when 1t was also stated by Dr Dolan that he will not attend the state convention and will not seek reelection to the state central committee. His virtual withdrawal from actual par ticipation in politics caused much surprise here and else- where. His decision not to seek rejection to the central com mittee, however, eliminates the battle that was pending for the place for he was to be op- posed. That Dr Dolan will eventually return to the post of state revenue chief, is the belief and hope of his many followers in Connecticut
 Danbury, like Waterbury, is presenting a harmonious front in the democratic ranks this year. The new and old guard leaders there have announced that they are determined not to engage in combat over the the delegates to the various conventions. On the other hand the republicans there are facing trouble.
 In one instance, State Sena- tor H. Sanford Osborne of Bedding has announced that he will not run for reelection in the 24th district, of which Danbury is part. Three prom inent republicans are after the nomination. They are Repre- sentative Nathan Spiro, John c. Serrc and Frank w. Han- son, all of Danbury. The name of Prosecuting Attorney Isidorc Feinson is being most prominently mentioned for the democratic nomination in the 24th district. The name of George Gildea is also mention ed for the place on the dem- Ocratic ticket.

It's About Over

Well, we've got 'em dashing
for the final hurdle-the race
lis about over. If their wind and
vocabularies hold out, they'll
all be through before another
issue of Saturday Press is off
the press. And what a relief!
For the public as well as the
chaps who'll be returned to
their various stalls to be rubbed
down by their creditors and
twitted by their friends.
There s as much pathos in an
election as there is politics, as
many heartaches as there are
hurrahs and as many tears as
there are cheers. It's a savage
battle that too often leaves
scars that never heal, that en-
bitters men and sets friend
against friend. If we would
only understand that politics is
nothing but game-a dirty
game = but we play it that
way! We shouldn We
cut and slash and bruise- un-
thinking, uncaring: And when
it's all over and we return to
something resembling sanity,
we wonder why some former
friend or acquaintance fails to
speak or some chap we never
met ignores our proffered hand
when introduced.
Sounds reasonable, doesn'
it? But every blessed one Of us
has a club in pickle for series
of candidates and how we love
to bounce it off their political
skulls. And wen take a long
chance on that former friends
failure to speak or the out
stretched hand being ignored.
Sure we will. Let the fight 60
on! Crack down on the chap
you don't like, politically or
otherwise! Bowl 'em over! But
don't be slime-howitzer for
any party. And don't twit the
loser. He did the best he could.

When the Yale tournament Jas the Connecticut Interscholastic officials dislike to have it called, gets under way to-mor- row afternoon, New Britain should win over Stratford, a team that in with a not too impos- ing record, due to that famous per- centage system that seems to take no notice of the class of opposi- ton a team plays as long as it's percentage figures within the eight highest throughout class A-B schedules in this state. Which looks o. K. for Chick Shea's Hard ware City boys who should be worked out nicely by the time they are booked to play Central which should beat the Spencer School (CommerciaD of New Haven in the other afternoon contest Thursday.
 Probabilities
 Tommy Monahan's club figures to take Danbury high in the first evening game, while Meriden and Windham battle it out for the priv ilege of meeting Bristol Friday night. Windham, winners of IF in a row, and the only major high school team in Conencticut to win all games this season, has a good chance of taking the title, accord ing to close observers of high school basketball form, while Central, Bristol, Meriden and New Britain all liable to come through. Dan bury and Stratford are the two weak sisters, of the tournament, while Commercial is not much higher in class these three teams playing for the exercise.
 Attractions
 The Windham- Meridian game is the best bet tomorrow meeting at 8:45 D. m., while that winner against Bristol is the Friday mag net. The runners-up in both brackets will play consolation game after the tournament finals Saturday afternoon, with two tro- phys, gold and silver basketballs to be awarded as prizes to first and second finishers.

Perrazella Cops High Average

St Lucy, leaders in the Holy Name pin loop took two games from their South Main street rivals namely the Lourdes, in one ofIthe contests staged in that circuit at St Joseph's alleys last night.
 St Francis set back their opposi- ton, St Patrick's, in another inter- esting match. Both clubs that found Leo Conway swinging the apple freely. Pete Stokes featured for the Brooklyn outfit.
 Nothing spectacular as was ex- match. Mike Guisti, young and bashful pinman, hit 34S for the north end champions. Jimmy Per- razella, league high average toter, scored 361 which practically as- sures the former state title holder of that prize. Johnny Mango, vet eran bowler, pinned 348.
 While the crowd cheered the ri- vals in both aforementioned games the Immaculate Conception pulled new league record total score amounting to 1774 naples.
 As many believe that St Lucy has the second round in the bag we quote the contrary. Both St Patrick's and St Francis are still with them. They will continue to remain so until the final contests to be presented next week. Both Irish teams must win three games.
 St Lucy faces the Imaculate Con- ception rollers while St Pats meet St Hedwig of Union City. These rivals should offer something worth while taking in.
 SS Peter and Paul, the other team that was in until last night, just couldn't get going until St Hedwig had a comfortable margin. then the east end rally came in too late.
 St Joseph were given the benefit of doubt and awarded three games over Mt Carmel who incl dentally to push the league rules little should be considered out. With a week to go perhaps no ac- tion will be taken.

The Central "Y" Aces have been setting a fast pace in the Gra-Y league. These newcomers are good and how they know it.
 Benson of Webster helped his team to win over Barnard. His points made the difference be- tween a win and loss. Evans co-starred with his team mate Girley to win in their game. Evans still plays a rough game. He has more fouls against him than any other player in the league.
 Lurtz of Russell is high scorer this week with eight points. Keep up the good work, Tony.
 The Barnard team had better snap out of 1t. They played 8 very poor floor game Tuesday.
 Jay and StelIey combined to beat Croft. Both these boys are play ing a smart game for SlOcum.
