EAGLES, ARROWS
AT ARENA SUNDAY

New Haven, Feb 24.-For the
last time this season the Philadel-
phia Arrows will do battle on the
ice at New Haven, meeting the
Eagles here tomorrow night. The
Arrows, with plenty of strength in
the lineup due to the presence of
that able veteran Deacon Waite,
who knows more tricks of the Ca
madam sport than any other man
in the Canaan league, and Connie
King, a youthful star, split even
with the New Haven club in the
game last Sunday.
The Eagles went out to hang up
two goals and they held the lead
until the last five minutes of the
game and then the Arrows sudden
ly put on a fierce offensive, with
King scoring twice in rapid success
sion. On both TALES Waite had a
hand in the scoring, once passing
directly to King for the score and
on the other occasion leading the
play into the scoring zone and act
ing as a decoy.
Other outstanding performers
to be seen in the visiting lineup
are Peters and Desmarais, on the
defense, and trio of former New
Haveners in Dodger Ceilings, Err
nest McGoldrick and Eddie Jere-
miah.
The game gets under way at $3.50
to be followed by skating session
open to the spectators.

Meriden Amateur
Boxing March 6

Meriden, Feb 23-(SpeciaD-
While amateur boxing seems to
have died a dismal death all over
the state, Meriden offers the
strange spectacle of playing host to
a highly successful revival Of the
sport.
Two predecessors within recent
months had to give up the ghost
because of poor financial returns,
but Charlie Pillkington, former
featherweight "fiash" and in more
recent years a referee and instruc-
tor, tried his hand at bringing the
sport back on February 18th and
met with marked success. Over
1000 fans filled the city hall audi
forum for Charles inaugural Of
fering, a splendid program of
Sports touched off by the appear
ance of AL Gamer in an exhibition.
Pilkington's next presentation
will take place on Tuesday night,
March 9Th. The best simon-pure
talent in the state will be lined up
on the card. with boxers coming
from Middletown, New Haven,
Hartford, New Britain, Waterbury
and the Silver City. AS an added
attraction, Jimmy Leto, high rank
ing professional and leading con-
tender for the lightweight crown,
will show his wares in an exhibit
ton bout.

There was one game played in

won this nip and tuck battle, 1915.
"Red" Lyons tossed in the win

points Quite a combination.
Gle O'Donnell of the Hi-Y strut
ted his wares before the crowd and
he had plenty on the old apple. He
almost won the game for his team

Ed Curley who leads the Hill

his team has a good chance to take
the second round. Go to it, Ed.
Frank Graph has been playing

The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-02-24

One Of the common finger-spins
Is the agate shot-made in the
same manner as shooting marbles.
The ball is shot from its rest on
the forefinger by the thumb. An
other effective spin serve is the
flick shot, where the ball is flicked
from its rest on the thumb by the
first two fingers of the hand.
Controlling these serves Is diff.
ficult. Seldom is there q motion
Of the paddle to direct the ball
across the net. In most cases the
paddle is held stationary, and tilt
ed so as to direct the ball over the
net. II the player hasn't enough
snap in his fingers to drive the ball
over the net, an arm motion is
used in conjunction with the finger
flick.
If the player has enough
strength in the fingers Of his left
hand to get a speedy snap on the
ball, he can serve in the regula-
ton manner, with the right hand.
However, many players must serve
with the paddle in the left hand,
necessitating a quick change to the
right after the serve Is made.
SO deceiving are the antics Of
this serve, however, that only an
expert can return the ball sue
cessfully.

(Untted Press Stan correspondent
New York, Feb 24.--UP)-Mr
Casey Stengels first official act
after agreeing to ride herd on the
Mavericks that are the Brooklyn
Dodgers was to toss off d couple
of Martini cocktails. His second
was to make a. bet with this de-
partment, payable in October.
The bet involves Mr. Stengers
weight on that date. Today he
weighs IT'S, and If he is within
fourteen pounds of that In October,
we get five dollars. According to
Mr. Stengel there isn't any more
, chance of my getting paid than
there is of Bill Terry and his Giants
failing to learn that the Brook
1yns are still very much in the Ma
tional league.
You see," he said, 'ff the bod
gers get hot and finish up there in
the first division. I'll easily weigh
in the 1908 and If they go into
reverse and land down there
among the sweet peas and Cincin-
natl, I'll be fyweight. You won't
have to look at the standings of
J the clubs during the season to find
out how the Dodgers are faring.
AL yod IL ibNo ~ w IL ldht Il
look at me. I'm the human
barometer. L lose a pound when
my shortstop muffs one or one of
my men strikes out. And 1 gain

Dagger.
That's what Max Carey was
talking about when he told report
ers down in Miami that he didn't
believe my strength would hold out
as manager. He knows that I suf-
fer the agony of the damned when
my club takes licking. When
the Giants lick us / go through
the fortunes of the double
damned"
What did Mr. Stengel think of
Bill Terry going around asking if
! the Dodgers were still in the
league?
I've got two answers for that
one Is that, If Bill thinks so poor
ly or us, why does he always man
age to have Hubbell ready to pitch
against us? If we're such a bunch
OF tramps why does he waste his
Sunday pitcher? My second an
swer Is that any time Bill feels
ike the Giants need n little bat
ting practice he's welcome to bring
'em around and I'll let Van Mungo
throw 'em up"
For your information, and in Or
der that Mr. Stengers fine sarcasm
won't be wasted, Van Mungo licked
the Giants five times last season.
They couldn't get Il foul off him.
Mr. Stengel feels he's going to
help the Dodgers. Ask him for "A
reason for this belief and he'll tell
you that he always has improved
the teams he's managed. There
was Worcester in the Eastern
league for example. They were in
sixth place when he moved in. and
two months later he had 'em in
the first division. They handed
him an eighth place Toledo club,
and the next year he won the pen-
nant. He doesn't promise any pen
nant for Brooklyn next year. but
he's going to have fighting, hust.
ling club.
II can't help but have that sort
of club" he says. IF the bows
won't work, and work hard. they'll
travel from dear old Flatbush in
large numbers. and travel fast"
