BOY MON0POLIzES BOWLING LAURELS
Mature Participants in Na- ti0nal Lawn Play Up-
 set Yesterday

Boston, August 17 - (UP) - A 1e-year-old boy will rule over a sport heretofore monopolized almost exclusively by more mature participants as result of the final match victory of Fred Chaplin, Jr. of Brooklyn, N. r., in the National Lawn Bowling championship at Franklin Field yesterday.
 Besides winning the United States singles championship, young Chaplin won the Robert D. Kay trophy, cup that goes with the title.
 After playing spectacularly in the early rounds of the tournament, the new champion vanquished Bobby Savage of Chicago, 15-12, for the title.
 The doubles title was won by the Chicago pair of Robert Dunlop and Stewart Tulloch, who defeated Bob Stanley and J. (Pop) Williams of Montclair, N. J., 19-S.

SPEEDWAY RACES
 AGAIN ON SUNDAY
New Track Record May Be Established at Hunting-
 ton Events

Auto racing fans in this vicinity are looking forward to good weather for the weekly show at the Huntington Speedway Sunday afternoon. With practically every driver who appeared last week ready for action again, close fol- lowers of the races here believe there is a fine chance for someone to set new track record.
 The crack field of a week ago was hampered by 8 downpour of rain which soaked the track after the time trials and prevented any exceptional fast racing A dry, safe track might be inviting to the many daring drivers entered and Bill Troutwine's track record is apt to receive its first setback of the year.
 The Gloversville, N. Y. ace is out to lower his own mark. No one, not even Bill himself. has been able to touch his record of 30 seconds fiat for the half mile track. He has often come close as did Pete Can- field, Bridgeport driver. several weeks ago.
 Troutwine won the feature race last week and has proven he is at his best when the going is fast and danergous. Bill will have much competition, especially from Fred Carlson of Ossining, N. Y. Carlson turned the track in 32 seconds de- spite the weather week ago and he is anxious to use his car over a dry track.

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, August IT = (UP)- Cornbread, Hogjowl, Turnip Greens and Edna Skinner.
 That's the recipe for a perfect pitcher.
 Analysts, psychoanalysts, physio- analysts, and plain baseball writ CTS have no such simple formula. To them pitching Is one of the fine arts, the result of a happy mar riage of mind, matter and muscle, and process which calls for per- feet coordination between such things as cells, cerebellums, nerv- ous ganglae, and the odd-numbered veterbrae.
 But all of that becomes just a lot of highfalutin' nonsense when you drag Schoolboy Rowe out the Detroit dugout and ask him how he managed those thirteen straight wins for the Tigers. Schoolboy wouldn't knod verterbrae from q canvasback duck and cerebellum to him is just word that means af- ter the war.
 But he knows what makes him the standout pitcher of the year.
 "Taint nothing mysterious about it," drawled the Schoolboy. "Not a bit. I just get we'll filled up with a lot of substantial vittles like cornbread and turnip greens, climb out there on the mound, wrap my fingers around the ball, and say: Edna, honey, they ain't gonna see it. Then I lets 1t loose."
 Edna" it might be explained, is Miss Edna Skinner. a pretty 21- year-old girl of Eldorado, Ark. Schoolboy's home town.
 i've been Edna's steady for six years" Schoolboy said. we aim to get married. Nav, don't know just when yet, but sorta calculate it'll be right after the World Ser ies. You see, we can use that ex- tra money. It'll come in right handy"
 "so you're pretty sure of getting in the series," we said.
 What's gonna keep us out?' he replied.
 The way he said it, you knew that the Yankees might just as well be playing in another league insofar as stopping the Tigers was con cerned.
 We asked the Schoolboy if there were any other contributing fac- tors to his success besides food that stuck to his ribs and Edna who stuck to his heart.
 "Yeah, there's couple more. One is a doctor down in Atlanta named Ferguson. You know that sore arm that ruined me last year? We'll, it Is still a-aching me when we reached Atlanta on our trip north this spring. But Doctor Fer. guson worked on the fragments or 1t and it's been okay ever since. The other is that I finally got the notion I'd rather be a fielder than a pitcher out my head. You know, I can bust a ball right snort. Hit the longest homer ever seen in the Texas League. But I reckon l can do better as a pitcher, and once my mind was made up started im- proving. But boy, still think the most fun in baseball is putting the old wood to one."

Coach Foley announced last night that if 20 or more persons enter, the tournament will be held. A cup will be donated by the Re- creation Field department to the winner.
 A committee consisting of Frank Jones, chairman, Henry Cieslew- ski, Joseph Worrell, William J. Baxter and Kenneth Rapief of Naugatuck and Raymond Doiron of Beacon Falls, was named. Entries Welcome
 Persons wishing to enter are asked to leave word at the home of MT Jones who lives on Ceme- tery street and whose phone num- Der is 975 or call the Naugatuck News office, phone 1000 and leave word there. Entries must be in by Saturday August 25th. There will be no entry fee charge, the only cost being that of the courts when in use. There are five courts at the field.
 The annual tournament spon- sored by the M. c. A. will not be
 held here, the "Y" giving as it's reason that there is not enough in- terest. Many local persons feel that such tournaments help to stimu- late interest in the sport in town and as result Mir Foley has agreed to sponsor this tourney. If less than 20 entries are re- ceived, no tourney will be held.
 Quota Expected It is expected more than 20 will express their wish to play. One unusual thing about this tourney in comparison with pre- vious local tournaments is that not only Naugatuck residents and Union City youths may enter but also residents of Beacon Falls are invited to take part and match their skill with that of the Nausy products.
 The committee plans to run the tourney off quickly after entries are in. A meeting of the commit tee will be held Sunday, August 20 at the local fire house.

RICE AND JEPS0N
 TO RACE SUNDAY
Rivals to Meet in Feature at Sage Park Speedway
 in Windsor

After much dickering between rival promoters, the match race between George Rice and Al Jep- son was finally clinched by Pro- moter Dick Dunn for Sage Park Speedway, Windsor, Conn, Sunday, August 18th. There has been bit- ter rivalry between these two boys ever since Rice defeated Jepson after the latter had won seventeen out of IS starts. The boys will race at two, three and five laps total points to count.
 There has been realms of pub 1icity and many an argument on street corners and over tables as to who is the best driver, Jepson or Rice. Jepson's followers from Bridgeport and other towns where Jepson has raced look for him to defeat Rice as they feel that he is the star of the half mile dirt tracks.
 They know that Jepson has the car and the ability. Jepson has a score to settle with Rice due to Rice's insistance that Jepson was afraid to meet him in a return race. Jepson explained to Pro- moter Dick Dunn that the reason that he did not agree to race Rice on August 18th was due to the fact that he had already entered at Langhorne Speedway, Philadel- phia and could not get back to Windsor on time to meet Rice. Jep- son feels that he must win over Rice to keep the interest of his followers and for that reason he was willing to agree to any con- dftions laid down by Rice. The men will race. winner take all, and from the way Rice won his first race at Sage Park last Sunday. Jepson will be in for hectic day Sunday. Regardless of the win ner. this race will be worth going miles to see as the men are even. 1y matched as to ability and stam- ina.
 Three other races will complete the card. Two races at ten laps each and the feature race at 40 laps making a total of seventy lam 0f racing.
