Old Fight Talk
 An old fighter named Jimmy Clabby died the other day in pov- erty. He was only 43, but men who lived and fought the way Jim- my Clabby lived and fought are inevitably senile at 40.
 Twenty years ago he was in his heyday. He fought Eddie Mo Goorty, battled for 20 slashins round with George Chip, Jeff Smith, Sailor Petroskey and Les Darcy. Great changes have come about in the ring and it's gypsy people in the 20 years since he met McGoorty.
 Dempsey on Freights
 Jack Johnson was the world champion. He had knocked out Jeff and fled to Paris. Twenty years ago he had just beaten Frank Moran in 20 rounds. He met a Russian wrestler, one A. Spoule, and a riot developed when Li'l Artha' knocked out his man. Johnson is in Paris now, a fat old
  ing in past glories.
 Jack Dempsey was riding freights in search of fights. New York had not heard of him. He was knocking out such people as Anamas Campbell, Two Round Gillian, Joe Bonds, Kid Hancock and Andy Malloy. Jack-Dempsey Just punk. But Jimmy Clabby There was a name that could be respectfully championed in any back room in the land!
 Smith "White Champ"
 Twenty years ago Fred Fulton was going about the business of losing on a foul to Carl Morris and the search for white hope seemed hopeless. Big Jess Will lard had lost a 20-round battle to Gunboat Smith in San Francisco and was trying to fight his way back by beating George Rodel, George Davis and Jack Reed. Gunboat Smith knocked out Art Pelkey for the white heavyweight championship of the world' a! San Francisco and went to Paris to lose it to Georges Carpenter on a foul.
 Twenty years ago Benny Leonard was trying to reestablish himself as fighting man after being knocked out in five rounds by Frankie Fleming. In some fis- tic salons he was regarded as a likely prospect, but his merit was a moot point. Hadn't he been knocked out also by Joe Shugrue
 
 Jimmy a Big Shot
 But Jimmy Clabby He was claimant of nothing less than the middleweight championship of the word! Billy Papke had outgrown the division and, of course, there were other claimants. Mike Gib- bons claimed it. So did Jeff Smith. For that matter Frank Klaus thought his right to it as legal as any mans. George Chip believed the crown belonged to none but George Chip, and when Al Mccoy knocked out Chip in a round. Mccoy claimed it, too.
 The claims of Jimmy Clabby and Jeff Smith were pretty gener- ally recognized They were great fighting men-2O years ago.

 turning out as good a team this year as last will be quite a hard
 one for not many students will be
 back. Among the promising play
 CTS around whom he will build his team are Frank Edmonds, one of the best all-round athletes turned
 out by Naugy high, and George Waite, who worked well at quart
 erback last year.
 There are several promising youngsters coming up however. So while the temperature mounts to 100 degrees in the shade the boys will be prepared strenuously for the sport which is usually played
 when the thermometer is about 65 degrees lower. MT. Foley's letter to the various
 candidates follows:
 Dear Sir:
 You have been selected as a
 candidate for the 1894 football
 squad of the Naugatuck High
 School. You are requested to come

 time and get some football prac-
 tice as often as possible this sum-
 mer and to attend football prac-
 tice when requested. Every posi- tion on the team is open. Please
 give us your best efforts which
 will be much appreciated by the
 Naugatuck High School Athletic Department.

PITCHING RECALLS FAMED
 w. AND l.. BATTERY Y

Lexington, Va. (UP).-A famous collegiate pitching battery has been reunited. But not on the diamond which brought them sports hon. ors. The battery is G. A. Sykes and William M. McEiwee, and it was many a year ago they starred on the athletic field for Washington and Lee University
 The reunion" took place re- gently when a picture of Sykes, painted by his niece, Dudley Fer guson Hewitt, was presented to the university. A picture of McElwee soon will take its place beside it Outside of college sentiment, the event was recalled by the older sport fans who remember that in 1877 George A. Sykes, then stu dent at w. x L. threw the first curved ball ever tossed over by a college pitcher. Sykes now lives in Marietta. Ga. and McElwee is pres ident of a local bank.

 day-Yanks Skid

New York, June - UP) - The bat boys had a day of it and probably a name for it in at least two games in the National League yesterday. The two exhibitions, one at Philadelphia and the other at St Louis, produced a grand total of seventy-two hits and sixty runs
 St Louis used up all but two of its entire playing list, including seven pitchers, in vain effort to beat Cincinnati. The Reds won, 1915. They got fifteen hits, the Cards sixteen.
 Jesse Haines started the pitch ing and quit in the first inning. He was touched for three hits. Jim Lindsey gave off three more and lasted until the third. By that time the score was nine to eight, the Cards having jumped Rudy Frey. Dazzy Vance, Dizzy Dean, Bill Walker, Jim Mooney, and Tex Carleton all tripped hopefully 10
 
 tripped back again.
 No Stretch
 In the ninth Carleton singled with Dourocher on base with the tying run, but Lippy Leo tried to stretch it too far and was snapped off at home, ending the game.
 Boston and Philadelphia put on the other half of the act. They crossed forty-one hits and twenty nine runs. The Braves won, 1G-13. The mortality rate on pitchers was not so heavy, each using only four. Hal Lee bounced three home runs and a single in five trips to the batting tee.
 The Chicago Cubs took over the Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-1. and gained a full game on the Giants, who lost to Brooklyn. Guy Bush put on a one-man show. holding the Blues to five hits and driving in three runs with a double in the sixth.
 The Giants were repelled in Brooklyn by Van Lingle Mungo, ace t-hander of Casey Stengeps crew, who chalked up his twelfth win, 11-2. flaming eight, walking two and allowing only six hits. Sam Leslie biffed a homer in the sixth with bases full. while Johnny Frederick got four in five.
 Slipped

 The Tigers took a rain-check de. cision over the St. Louis Browns winning 4-3 when the game was called in the fifth. Orvin Hadley held the winners to three hits dur ing the five innings of play.
 Chicago drove the Cleveland In- dians down into fifth place, 7-5. The Indians filled the bases in the ninth, scored once but having held them.

In watching the efforts of op-" posing batsmen of the two teams toward solving the deliveries of Earl Selenske and Joe Strokalaitis, who will take the mound for the Tribes and Hills, the customers should have treat, for the pair of pitchers rank with the best in the loop, even though neither of them are as effective as they were last season. Offensively, the Tribes have the edge on their rivals when it comes to work with the willow, sporting a team batting average of .290 against ,273 for the Hills, though that point may not prove of particular importance tomor- row. Rather, the pitcher to crack first will probably be charged with u defeat for both clubs show some able stickmen the Tribunes having Fay Vincent, Joe Fontana, Johnny Hoben and Johnny Egan with Larry Mullen, Happy Shea, George Mulligan, Mickey Bowen and "Tokes" Martino.
 Early Games
 The 2 o'clock engagements will show the Brooklyn A. c. pitted against the league-leading North End Thomas club in a game that, on paper must be marked down for the Tommies, due to the weak ness of the Brooklyn club, while the Sacred Hearts will have the Recreations to work on in another game of the day. With the Tri- bunes, Hearts and Tommies at the top of the league, the result of the major game of the day will be all important to the Baldwin street club, as the other leaders are ex- pected to win without too much trouble. Should the Hills knock the Tribes out of the top spot, tic balance of the season should de. velop more than it's share of red hot baseball with every game ird~ portant.

The buildings In this city were con-
structed at time in our history WI \
ST Croix had wealth on the one side and
slave labor on the other side. Today there
is neither wealth nor slaves. These large
buildings are heritage. The pre- sent
generation met them, and we occupy
them like those crabs that live In smells.
If through our shortsignfednes the
good buildings in King and Queen Streets
be destroyed some will remain lrrulns-
an awful monument TO careless people.
The buildings that may be constructed
would be ordinary. wooden houses that

wholesale destruction by fire. With the
possibility of obtaining more modern lire

The men who should be responsive to

insuring buildings here against fire is
however not the construction value.
There may be buildings insured for
