Seven years after it occurred in' Sails bury report of an accident has been reported to the State Motor Vehicle De partment. That's postponed justice for you with a vengeance. There must be some explanation for this, which in itself would make a story worth hearing and reading. Wonder what the legal angle on this late report would be?

Paul MeSsink and his Hecht

But they see trouble ahead
when the second half series gets
under way. They particularly
fear the youthful Kanns Sons

almost entirely of interhigh cham

victorious in a league game this

lost five consecutive contests. The

Johnny Wolfe or Paul Messink

to get the call for the opposition.

Ex-Big Leaguers Abound
On Local Sandlots

What becomes
baseball players?

They hook up with semipro and
sandlot mines. Right here in our
own city we have something like
so of these players performing
with various teams around town.
Among the more prominent are
Denny Sothern, Walter Beall,
Frank Watt, "Huck" Stahl and
Marcus Chaconas. These veterans
are all cavorting with the Pig n
Whistle aggregation of the Ma
tional City and Industrial circuits.
Played With PhilS
Sothern played with the Phila.
delphia Phillies of the National
League for four years, one season
with the Pittsburgh Pirates of the
same loop and one year with the
Baltimore Orioles of the Interna-
tional wheel.
Curiously enough, Sothern was
batting over 800 when he was
sold to the Orioles.
Walter Beall, who was up with
the Yankees and the Griffmen,
walked himself out of the league
with his wildnesS.
Babe Ruth once said that Beall
had the best curve in the big top.

EVENTS GIVE
EXPERIENCE
TO LADS
by DAN GILL

Being in charge of the annual
boys and Juniors tennis tourna-
ment, which starts tomorrow, at
Henry Park, Bill Shreve naturally
is anxious to see it 60 over in a
big way, with a large field entered.
But Bill has other ideas as to
why the entry list should be large.
Says he:
=, "a lot Of boys figure If they
haven't got a chance to win
there's no use entering a tOurna.
Inent. But they're wrong. This
will be a wonderful experience
for the participants regardless
of how they make out, and will
benefit them later, as they'll
find out when they enter other
tournaments.
Mitchell Won Junior
I ''Take DoOly Mitchell, for in
stance. He's a former junior
champion, and so is Frank
Shore, who won the title three
times. OF course, those boys
would have probably gone far
whether they played in our tour
ney or not, but they might have
taken a little longer to get
going"
At that, shreve expects at
least 30 in the junior class and
IS in the boys division. Gilbert
Hunt, former Eastern High boy,
who is back home for the sum-
r1er from M. I. T., which he rep
resented when he won the New
England intercollegiate Tennis
crown, will vie for the junior
title. Hunt, who is a sophomore
at M. I. T., has been elected
captain of next years team, a
rare honor for a sophomore.
Hunt A Fav0rite
He, of course, will be one of
the faVoriteS along with Nathan
Ritzenberg. Nate has been COM
ing along in fine style and worked
Bud Markey to the limit before
bowling in the recent City of
Washington event. Marley
reached the semifinals.
rOther strong contenders will
be Buddy Adair, Central High
School netman, who was last
years boys champ, and Billy
Burns, of Eastern High, one of
the smallest if not the smallest
entries. Billy, who is under five
feet, played No. 3 on the Lincoln
Parker's team and reached the
quarterfinals of last years play.
ground tourney.
Entry fee is one dollar. Entries
will be accepted today until 6

In spite of general conditions,

five hours of real sport. Their

pounds. Peelers were being used
for bait.
At Herring Bay on Sunday we

MARKED GAINS IN
 P. 0. BUSINESS
Receipts Larges L t In Several Years-MOney
 Order Dept. Busy

All indications at the Waterbury
 postoffice point to the greatest
 volume of Christmas business in
 several years, according to Post-
 master James T. Kelley. Receipts
 thus far have been considerably in
 excess of expectations, with the greatest part of the Christmas mail yet to come in.
 Postmaster Kelley learned today from Washington that checks for all substitute and temporary work CTS at the postoffice during the Christmas rush will be availa ble for distribution among the workers
 on or before Christmas eve, thus enabling them to nave the money in time for Christmas.
 This is the first time that such a procedure has been allowed from Washington and it should result in l the circulation of considera bly more money in this city during the l holiday season. The early paying should prove equally popular with both the Christmas workers and
 with merchants, both of whom
 will benefit.
 The international money order revenue, in particular, said Post
 master Kelley this afternoon, has
 been. much higher than was ex- pected. In this connection, Post | master Kelley stated that the
 money order total, which is now
 nearly all in, should prove to be the largest since 1929 or 1890. Persons having mail going to England and Ireland are warned that such mail should be at the focal postoffice by tomorrow if it
 is expected to be delivered abroad ! in time for the holiday.
