 Boxing Bits. Two well trained boys who make living en- gazing in the art of fisticuffs put on one of the best performances seen in many years in the Capital City Monday night. Jimmy Leto who halls from Florida, but resides in Hartford emerged that night the winner in a most courageous per- sistent battle these orbs have ever witnessed, even while he was em- ployed in a Moo Yawk newspaper, and being able to take in many Of the big time fights. Seriously though, we could go on raving about those youngsters, Leto and Battalino of the most marvellous toe-to-toe exchanges spectators ever witnessed. .. The thrill of the night was the friendliness of the crowd although their favor was in Battalino, they largely applaud ed the decision.
 Basketball Jingles With the football scores off our minds our thoughts of flashing into the future of the many teams rapidly getting into shape to perform in the Cly Amateur League, semi-pro even down to the grammar school league. Proving that the game IS rapidly becoming, a national pas time with the public. My good pal fTnTlo inc hals cony) Bill Derwin, who is president of the City Amateur League has in- serted a new rule in the league rules which should meet favorably with the basketball public--that unsportsmanlike players be dis missed from further participation | in the contests. In the past few years many players have received several injuries, some which result ed seriously, others, probably being | handicapped throughout nfe... | Please don't misunderstood ana think the writer is referring to the | Waterbury players alone in using rough tactics-but others througn- out the country. Scanning the l clippings from last years Democrat we found that more than 60 play CTS were injured in the simple game of tossing ball through the 1 leather. So, when the game gets underway lets enjoy a nice clean brand of basketball on the part oi players on each team.
 Flash. Flash. Jimmy Red
 Gladney, printers devil, dropped
 into this reporters cubicle to in
 form him that his Raymond Hillles
 will represent Waterbury this veal in the State Junior Basketball league, winners of last years cit. junior championship. The Hilllei
 will officially open their season bI
 making their initial appearance II New Britain, December 12th at. tired in brand new uniforms anc jackets, meeting the newly organ ized St Mary team of the Hardware City, which should give the boys 8
 real workout. Incidentally, the
 Hillies will also defend their title in the Brooklyn "" Intercluh league. (Note to .Red'-Yours truly will be on hand in New Britain to see that new place you raved about so much, also to wish youse guys the best of luck in bringing back the bacon to good ole Waterbury, | Bowling Notes. It seems that the Brass City is going big in whatever form of sport promoters can offer to them. Day after day, night after night, both the mascu- l line and feminine sex are taking advantage of the new winter sport | the many bowling palaces here have to offer. Not only is it a form | of recreation but it also develops those Atlas builds you have been | wailing for the longest time. Your correspondent will probably
 hurl a challenge at Hank Kelly Tn the near future. The other night he bowled 97 and he cant stop talking about it, and it's a wonder his brother, Mickey, doesn't hit him over the head with a club
 some night. It's getting so bad he
 even talks about it in his sleep.
 Told Va So Dept Begging the humble pardon of my partner in crime-Ray Fitzpatrick-for the
 heading of the paragraph, as he is now in a heated argument with the Tall Tower man in regards to steal ing headings. Oh! the heck with it and let us proceed with what we had in mind. The annual turkey
 day classic between both high
 schools provided plenty of thrills for followers of the high school
 elevens. .. Well, as l told va in
 last weeks pillar, that Crosby
 would emerge the victors, provided this humble being, with enun greenbacks to take a journey tc Moo Yawk-and enjoy seeing Sally Rand perform in her favorite bub-
 ble dance, thanx to Joe Russell The topic seems to be strayine | grrksnat of GnnPfC-Gn Va' II get right back to it. Dolan per- formed beautifully, carrying the
 ball over the line in that ghostlike
 way of Albie Burke. What ere ated a laugh among the grand Islanders was when Coach Schof1elc
 sent in his second team against the
 regulars of Wilby, and even ther the Wildcats were unable to score against a much smaller team. ...
 Comments throughout the tewr
 are still raving about Crosby'i
 cheering section, which certainly
 supported their team grand. or

 word must be put in for the Wiibl
 cheer leaders who strived strenu
 ously to get the Wilby section II

 seemed they suddenly lost thell

 trous they could be....
 It was one of the best game ever played and seen in thes' parts. One thing which has thu writer puzzled is why Wilby's men tor didn't start Sullivan earlier ii
