PASTOR SCORES.
 MASS. GOVERNOR
But Chief Executive of Bay State Was Not Very
 Much Excited

Boston. Nov. 12-UP)-Governor James M. Curley and former as- sistant to Dr. s. Parkes Cadman. noted Brooklyn, N. r., clergyman, were sharply at odds today over the governors Armistice Day proclama- tion.
 The second party to the contro- versy was the Rev. pr. Edward J. Chidley, 57, for 20 years pastor of the First Congregational church at Winchester, an exclusive suburb of Boston.
 Dr. Chidley, an independent who voted for Woodrow Wilson but not for President Roosevelt, charged that, deftly woven into the demo- cratic governors proclamation, was political propaganda favorable to the New Deal.
 Objectionable Paragraph
 Here is the paragraph to which Dr. -Chidley objected:
 Tn our present hour of national distress we give thanks for a lead- ership in the nation that is the em- bodiment of the faith of tile lead- CTS who have gone before. Under his inspiring leadership, animated by faith in God and our fellowman, we will brush aside the clouds that have too long hovered over our country, and overcome the obstacles that have so long harassed the peo- pie of the nation, moving forward to a bright, better, happier and more prosperous day than any that has fallen to the lot of preceding generations"
 Governor Curley, who calls him. self the original Roosevelt man in Massachusetts, was quick to defend his proclamation. He accused Dr. Chidley of ''knavish and subtle" tactics by passing his charge on an isolated passage.
 Governor Replies
 Surely" said the governor, there is no justification, under the pretext of politics and behind the cloak of a religious organization, to stigmatize as an enemy of his fel- low man the leader in movement for the fulfillment of the hopes, as- pirationS and ideals of the found- CTS of our government, namely equality of opportunity and liber- ty."
 To this statement pr. Chidley re- piled:
 Governor Curley's atetmpt to draw a red herring across the po- ntical propaganda in his Armistice Day proclamation by indulging in a panegyric on President Roosevelt will not deceive any one, nor IS abuse of the plaintiff an argument for the defense"

Only 95 Names Are
 Left On EZRA List
Transfer to WPA Due Late This Week-Only to Re-
 main on EZRA After November IA

WPA, expected later in the week, the old relief system will have been completely dissolved in Waterbury. Only three persons will be employed by the EZRA after November IA in this city, MT. Harris said.
 As to the $350,000 allotted to Con- necticut yesterday for the EZRA program, MT. Harris expressed the opinion that the allocation was p-i- marily for the use of several state projects now in operation and was not to be construed as un authoriz- ation to continue EZRA local pro- grams. He said he believed the re- maining EZRA workers would be transferred this week.
 The receipt of the fund, however, will enable the WPA to continue the education program in the state. This project includes the local Mat tatuck college, one of several such institutions, employing more than 500 persons throughout the state and carrying an expenditure of pAUyUVV WCCA1ys GuAAOo 4OA tAAC CAA- cational program had been exhaust ed and teachers in the classes here had volunteered to serve without pay, pending the approval of the new grant.
 It is expected that the WPA, with an allocation of $8,184,000 of the 30,000,000 program submitted to Washington, has enough money to operate until July.
 Arthur J. Collins, director of the local branch office of the state e.n- ployment service, said that transfers were being made daily, and in large numbers. All transfers must come through MT. Collins office, as pros- pective WPA employees must have been on relief rolls as of last May. He said he believed the WPA event. ually would have more jobs open thar applicants to accept them.
 According to the state office of the WPA, there are 40,968 families on direct relief in the state, with one or more members in each fam lily eligible for employment.

.NAUCY SOFTBALL
 SETTO DISPUTED
Firemen Deny Being Rep- resented in Tie Game;
 Another Tilt Tuesday
fspeciaI to The Democratl

Naugatuck, July 25-There is a bitter argument waging following the softball match Tuesday be- tween Dennis Carroll's tavern nine and a club which several firemen played on, but which firemen later denied representing the fire depart ment.
 The firemen said the score was tied at 12-all when the game was called in the ninth. Carroll said his team won 16-12 and stated when the firemmen beat his team before. there was no statement then that the nine didn't repre- sent the firemen.
 John Phillips, local fireman, ex- plained the game was called after Carrolls team had their bats in the ninth inning, but the firemen had not yet batted in that inning. The Carol nine scored four runs in the ninth but the score in such a case automatically reverts to the score before the inning started. which was 12-all, he stated.
 However the regular firemen's team with such veterans as Lyman Lamphere, Jim Grant and others playing will meet the Carroll tav- ern team next Tuesday night at Hopkins match and scores will be settled then.

MRS. MOODY NOT ] TO RETIRE FROM
 NET COMPETITION
Spikes RunlOr Upon Ar- rival To-day; Not to Play
 Against British

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, July 25.-Fresh from her magnificent victory over Helen Jacobs in the final of the All Eng land tournament, Mrs. Helen Wills Moody arrived in New York on the liner Washington today, and spiked reports that she planned to retire from competitive tennis.
 T have no intention of quitting tennis," she said. q love 1t too well. plan to return from Cali fornia' in time for the women's na- tionalS tennis championships in Septemebr, and hope I'm lucky enough to win. I will not, how ever, play in the Wightman Cup matches against the British. They come too early, and I will not have time to return from California"
 Mrs. Moody, stunningly dressed, entertained the score of reporters who besieged her the minute the Washington reached quarantine, in the cocktail lounge. And as the boat moved slowly up the bay, she answered a steady barrage of ques- tions.
 "Yes," she said, q have com pletely recovered from the back in- jury which forced me to default to Miss Jacobs in the American cham pionship final two years ago. I didn't feel a single pain abroad, and as far as can tell am play ing as well as ever. Of course, may be wrong, for it's extremely difficult for a player to judge just how well he's playing. My only real weakness now is slowness afoot. You know, I never was a very fast runner"
 In connection with her fieetness of foot it was learned that Mrs. Moody spent an hour or more each day running on the sports deck, and that she concentrated on quick starts and stops.
 Mrs. Moody was asked if the victory over Miss Jacobs at Vim bledon, which climaxed her great comeback, was the most satisfying victory of her career.
 "No, I can't say 1t was. My first American title will always remain as my biggest thrill. You know, as one grows older one gets more and more-uh-er.
 Mrs. Moody searched for the right word.
 "Blase?" suggested a woman re- porter.
 That's it," Mrs. Moody answered. "After one has won quite a few championships, the thrill isn't so great. Not that I wasn't pleased to win at Wimbledon. Miss Jacobs played beautifully-better than, I've ever seen her play-and I guess was lucky. You see, I didn't expect to get past the semi-finals. No, don't have any particular memories of that moment when Miss Jacobs had me 5-2 in the final set and stood at match point. was much too busy trying to get the ball back to think"

The last day of the "crucial' se- ries found the Giants and Yankees clinging to first place, but it was possible for last years world. series rivals, the Cards and Tigers, to gain the lead by nightfall.
 The Giants position was the more secure. They were a game and a half in front of the Cardin- als. After seeing their lead melt away as a result of a 6-game los ing streak, the Giants have turned on the Cardinals and knocked them back to second place with two smashing defeats. [,
 Doubleheader Today
 The Cardinals must sweep to- days double-header to gain the National League lead. An even break will send the Giants home a game and a half ahead. A clean sweep for the Giants will tenn porarily halt the Cardinals pen- nant rush.
 On the outcome of the single game between the Yankees and Tigers hangs the American league lead. The Yankees held .0004 of a percentage point lead over the Ti- gers as they began today's game.
 The Tigers drive, which started in the cellar, has seen them climb game by game, place by place, all the way up from the American League standing until today they were on the threshold of first place.
 Auker vs. Broaca
 Gambling with his pitchers as if they were chips in a poker game, Mickey Cochrane twice in success sion has come up with winning aces, Vic Sorrell and General AL win Crowder. Today he gambled again on Eldon Auker, the under hand pitcher who hasn't beaten the Yankees this year. Joe McCarthy's choice to retain frst place for the Tanks was Johnny Broaca, the bespectacled Yale graduate.
 . Behind the. heroic hurling of Crowder, the Tigers yesterday bat tied up to almost even terms with the Tanks by scoring a 40 tri- umph. Jo-Jo Whites homer on the fourth ball pitched-the first cir

TODANS SPORTAPARADE. :. bAA&Mh!{@9
BY HENRY NicELMORE


 New York, July 25-Even times since the four Musketeers of France lifted the trophy back in 1927 has the American Davis cup team knocked on the throne room. And seven times have the raps gone un- answered.
 Saturday, on Wimbledon's treas ured turf, the Americans will make their eighth challenge for the holy grail of tennis. As in 1894 S5 will be made against England and, again as in 1884, the chief prob lem will be Frederick J. Perry, No. 1 in the world and leader of the British defense forces.
 It takes no mathematical genius to grasp the fact that in series three of five matches, the side which starts two down is at a de- cided handicap. And that is just what any nation which challenges England for the Davis cup faces. Unless Captain Joseph Wear of the American team can figure out a ways and means of halting Perry before Saturday. our chances of winning are not only null and void, but nux vomica as well.
 Speaking of stopping Perry re- minds me of the scene in the Vim bledon dressing room just before the start of the challenge round last year. The English and Ameri- can players, all close friends, were dressing together. As they dressed. they discussed their chances.
 Suddenly George Lott, the Amer ican doubles ace, grabbed Perry about the waist and, lifting him high, plunked him down on the rubbing table.
 Come here, Les! We'll win the Davis cup for America right here. You hold Fred and I'll break his arm."
 You chaps had better break both my arms If you really want to win," Perry joked, because I'm fairly sure I could whip any one of you with one good arm"
 The English team isn't a one- man affair by any means. In Bunny Austin. Perry has the finest stylist in the world as a partner, and a man who saves his top game for the tim when they tell him the royal standard flies above Vim bledon, the king and queen are in the box, and the honor of the em- pire is at stake. Playing for him. self Austin is only a brilliant play CT; playing for England, Juhn Bull, and the dominions, he's an inspired one.
 Sidney Wood riddled him in the semi i-finals of the all-England tournament last year, only to have Austin riddle him right back in the cup play. Young Donald Budge trimmed Austin in the semi-finals of the same tournament this year, but that's no guarantee that he'll repeat the performance in the challenge round.
 The only challenge round match the Americans can feel fairly sure of is the doubles. England will use tine veteran Pat Hughes and the young army lieutenant. c. R. D. Tuckey. Hughes Is past his prime; Tuckey has yet to prove he has one. Hughes biggest weakness is an inability to handle lobs, and lobs are part and parcel of the doubles game. Tuckey, . strapplnn younRster, packs tremendous pow or but Is just as likely to hit tho umpire as the inside Of the court In faet. more likely.
