ICIESLEWSKl MAKES
 RAPID PROGRESS
 IN BOROUGH MEET
Day Loses in Straight Sets-ROmney Sur-
 priSeS GrebauskaS

Naugatuck, Aug 31 Henry Ciewslewski, town champion and one of the favorites to win the Recreation field tennis tourna- ment, breezed into the second round last night by trimming Bob Day, rangy U. s. Rubber basket ball player, in straight sets by scores of GO, 6-3.
 Although Cieslewski was never in the slightest danger of losing, he was not particularly impressive. However, whenever he wanted to win he applied pressure that Day could not cope with. Occasionally the champion experimented with several shots with varying degrees of success.
 Accurate
 Frequently his accurately aimed shots licked the corner lines of the court and caught his opponent way out of position. Day won his games partly on the errors of Cieslewski. Cieslewski will meet Frank Jones, tourney committee chairman, in the second round and is expected to win although Jones will probably give the champion much more opposition than did Day.
 Cieslewski plays better under stiffer going, however. Players are urged to complete second round matches as soon as possible.
 Surprise!
 Ted Romney upset the dope yes terday morning by trimming John ny Grebauskas, Princeton basket ball court flash and captain of the Princeton town tennis team in straight sets 6-1. 7-5. This match, which incidentally was played on the Golden Hill tennis courts, was a good one, the second set being close throughout. There were many deuce games in this and the ultimate winner was not decided until the final game.
 These matches complete the first round. Earrings for the sec- ond round are: Cieslewski-J Jones; Harris Whittemore-Ted Romney; Casinir Skoronsky-Bill Baxter; Phil Clark Francis Kosowicz; Clay ton Dethlefsen-Hans Naurath: Al Cave against Joe Worrell; T. J. Hawley vs Harry Bassford, and Les Bushnell vs Ew Kosowicz.

Chicago's big lake front stadium will be taxed to it's capacity, with thousands likely to be turned away. Choice reserved seats were selling today at four times face value.
 Pros We'll Organized
 The Bears, starting practically the same lineup which triumphsd over the New York Giants. 23-21, in the championship game last De- cember, ruled 3-1 favorites, not so much because the All-Americans haven't a chance but because the betting gentry knows what the boys who play for cash can do.
 Noble Kizer, Purdue, headcoach of the Collegians. doesn't know what to expect from his charges under fire.
 Test for Pros
 George Halas, owned and coach of the Bears, regards the game as not just test for his team, but for all of professional football.
 The big threats of the profession als are Bronko Nagurskf bone crushing plunging, a deceptive pass attack to Bill Hewitt, Red Grange and Bill Karr or Luke Johnson, and the running of Grange and Gene Ronzani. The eBars' big forwards George MussQ, and Link Lyman, 240, are going to make every effort to shake Gra nge into the clear because this game may be Reds swan song before a huge crowd.

In fact, one of my earliest reco1lec- tions is of the family out in our rowboat, papa up front fishing, mama rowing.
 So, in order to help the 1ayman interpret the Americas cup races, I have compiled a glossary of the sea. In it you will find most of the terms that will be used in the dis patches from Newport in Septem- Der.
