Evils Declared Old

"AlsO, it is easy enough to in
Weigh against our system if you add
up only its evils and ignore the
facts that these evils are not new,
being traceable throughout the his
tory of man, and that our system is
the producer of benefits for all in
dividuals that far outweigh the sum
total of its occasional evils.
The Roosevelt Administration is
eXerting an influence against the
best interests of the country, not
only in this leading away from
American principles, but also be-
cause these same actions delay real
recovery. Were it not for this atti-
tude of the Administration, 1 would
have every confidence in the imme-
date future"
The only way to get sound gov
ernment, the speaker continued, is
to elect sound men to Office. Busi-
ness men must do their share in this
respect, he said, by bringing all
their influence TO bear upon the po-
litical parties and letting them know
that they will stand only for men
capable of bringing to governmental
office the ability to govern, and the
will to govern justly"

Mr.. Weir, it Will be recalled.
fought the constitutionality of NRA
for almost two years. Early in the
year he came out victorious in this
campaign when the United States
District Court at Wilmington ruled
that Sec. IA of the act. dealing
with collective bargaining, was un-
constitutional and void when ap-
piled to Mr.. Weir's company and
others not engaged in interstate
commerce.
Held Against Welfare
Mr.. Weir said that in making
statements of this kind he realized
he was subject to attack as the
head Of a large business organiza-
ton who was selfshly attempting
to preserve the existing order, but
emphasized his belief that a de-
parture from the American "tradi-
ton" would be against the general
welfare of the country.
The movement of the administra-
ton toward collectiviSm, the steel
executive said, is indicated by the
character of the Presidents closest
advisers, by the attitude they have
disclosed in statements and actions,
and by the legislation which has
been proposed or enacted, all of
which has two major characteris-
tics; 1T first, offers some great new
boon to some particular group and
therefore is calculated to win the
allegiance of that group, and then,
it gathers some new and great
power into the hands of the Fed
eral government"
In order to give the Roosevelt
Administration any just basis for
its actions, it is necessary to con-
cede that our present system has
failed" Mr.. Weir said. L for one,
do not cOnCede this. 1t is easy
enough to give our system a bad
name if you view it, without per-
Spective, in the light of admittedly
adverse present conditions, or if you
compare it with a Utopian planned
economy that is the product Of
wishful thinking and has never
been realized anywhere in the
world.

SIX TEAM LOOP
 VOTED BY CITY LEAGUE MANAGERS

Most of the managers represent ing teams affiliated with the City Amateur Baseball League decided by vote that six teams was all that they wanted in the circuit this sea- son. As result of meeting last night, the North Squares formerly with a Public Parks League mem- Der was denied admission to the city circuit despite the presence of a large delegation of members and a spokesman prepared to point out the advantages of allowing the Squares to enter the senior loop competition this season.
 Jimmy Lee and Cliff McHale, swaped offices of secretary and vice-president while the baseball contract was split between the Templeton and Biener stores. Plans for opening day, Sunday, May 18th were discussed though the matter of umpires is not settled, due to lack of applications for the work which is admittedly plenty tough, for the compensation involved.

NAUCATUCK HIGH
 OPENS BASEBALL YEAR SATURDAY
TOrrington Opposes Foley Combine on Borough
 Field

Naugatuck, April 23-The Naug- atuck High school baseball team will play its first game of the sea- son next Saturday afternoon when 1t will meet the Torring High nine at the local Recreation field. Just
 what sort of teach Coach Peter J
 Foley and his son Ray, local phy.
 sical education mentors, have de. veloped is expected to be revealed then.
 There are some veterans left from last year, but there were many that were lost. Among those who will be missed is Frank Ed monds, whose dipping fast ball was past the batter before the latter saw 1t. The only trouble with Franks delivery was that 1t was difficult finding high school catcher capable of handling 1t. Maybe
 It is possible Schiaroli who twirled some last year may get the call. The nine has been practicing SOIIlc WAcu WclucE pcIulItSu OAl there have been many days on which practice was scheduled. that no practice session was held be- cause of bad weather conditions. Little is known of the Torrington nine but good game is expected. Ready Now The Grammar School Baseball League games are expected to be played tomorrow. They were scheduled for last Wednesday but bad weather caused their post ponement. Hop Brook will meet Salem on Diamond No l at the playground; Central avenue will face Prospect street on Diamond No 2 at the Recreation field play ground and St Hedwig's will meet St Francis at the Shade Roller dia- mond.
 Keen rivalry prevails each year in this league.

Because the Detroit Tigers weren't any too considerate with spikes in their opening series, the Chicago White Sox anticipate m early war of reprisal. The American League champions evil dently got that way playing the St Louis Cardinals. Bill Wer- Der, of the Red Sox, didn't wait for the season to start to sever diplomatic relations with Jo-Jo White, who drop-k:cks his wcy around the bases. With Catchers Ray Hayworth and Frank Reiber; Infielders Flea Clifton, Heinie Schuble, and Francis Par ker, the latter subject to recall from Toledo on 24 hours notice; and Outfielders Pete Fox and Chct Morgan, Mickey Cochrane testifies that the Tigers have better re- placements than any rival.

IBRADDOCK TO REST IUP BEFORE GRIND
 FOR BAER BATTLE.
Off to CatskiIls to Get in Shape for Training
 Tasks
(spociaI to the Democrat. }

April 23.-James J. Braddock leaves to-day for the Catskill Mountains to begin light training in preparation for the heavyweight titular shot, against Max Baer, which takes place at the Madison Square Garden bowl, out Long Island City way, Thursday evening, June 13.
 Ever since the night he turned back Art LsRsky in fifteen sensa- tional rounds earning him the post of No. challenger at the hands of the boxing commission, Brad dock has been riding on thin air, literally speaking; what with ban- quets, radio talks and hitting here and there making speeches to the youth of the land. You'd imagine he had just won the highest pugi- listic hon0rs.
 Little did the little village of Woodcliffe in New Jersey, situated near the Palisades, dream of the sudden popularity that followed the Lasky victory. Braddock lives there with his wife May and thrce beautiful children, two girls and a boy. For the past two weeks pho tographers and reporters have be- sieged the Braddock domicile for pictures and stories. It is a replica of the hub-bub that followed Gene Tunney's masterful performance dethroning Jack Dempsey in the rain soaked Sesqui- Philadelphia ring.
 II think need a rest" de- clared Braddock yesterday after marching in the Woodcliffe Easter parade. ''No more dinners, no more running around; I'm getting down to real work"
 In the mountains the challenger will chop trees and concentrate on road work. He will also play a little golf. He will be away two weeks by which time manager Joe Gould hopes to contact a good training camp. On May or . Braddock will be rendered a test;- monial dinner by his Jersey friends in either Jersey City or Newark. Gould expects 2,00O friends and boxing enthusiasts will break bread with the greatest and most colorful challenger for the worlds heavyweight championship to ever come out of the state across tiie Hudson.
 The other day Braddock jumped on the scales and tipped the beam at the 1854 notch. For the Lasl.Y debacle he scaled 182s. He. will weigh between 1S0 and 191 for Baer.
 Gould revealed yesterday that although the fight Is two months away he has received upward of 500 requests for ringside tickets. An oil Hoffman, Baer's manager, expects to dispose of thrice th.s number.

CROSBY AND WILEY
 BASEBALL DRILLS

Coach Manherz of the Crosby nine had the team at Fulton park this morning for one of the most strenuous drills to date. The East Main street institution representa- tives were defeated by Gilbert High of Winsted at Hamilton Park on last Saturday and the game was not quite promising enough at such a time. The pitchers were taken through a workout as we'll as the infielders. After regular practice a fve-inning game was played.
 Jimmy Lee of the Wilby Wild- cats called a practice session for this afternoon at Brassco Park and requested that all players report at z:3O o'clock. The Wildcats will oIen their season next week.

Real Star Bout
By JOHN q. 0LUNEx

Announcement was made last night in New Haven of the sign- ing of Jimmy Leto of Hartford and Cocoa Kid of New Haven for a ten-rounder to top off the Arena boxing program on Friday night of this week. Barring accident. flood, and training difficulties, the bout will go on as scheduled and If 1t does, one of the finest fights of the indoor season should take place. Though have imagined Co., coa too heavy for Leto it seems that the boys are somewhere equal poundage or the Hartford boys manager would hardly sign for the battle with as classy a number as the young negro is known to be. It's 3 great bout on paper, and let's hope 1t reaches the stage of reality where both boys will climb into the ring on Friday.

COLUMBIAN SQUIRES

Baseball Is fast becoming a most important factor in conversation among the boys.
 The first practice was held last Thursday and Pat Wallace, acting coach, has great many expert prospects on. hand.
 equally divided between Greg Gilmartin and Johnny Lynch, both boys possessing real baseball abil- ity.
 John Slavin, the East Ender, would do well to aim at second base instead o6 shortstop.
 Shorty Cornell would be this writer's choice for shortstop.
 owen Wyle shows fine form at third, having had previous train- ing at St Peter and Paul's school (his old Alma Mater).
 "Ed" Fitzgerald and "Doc" Car ey' are slated to have a real battle for catching honors. There are many prospects in line for the pitching position and to the writers they all look plenty good. The outfeld positions arc yet undecided.
 The Ping Pong tournament Is steadily progressing with "Tom" Bowling, the Nkeable Sacred Heart byo being the favrite to win. Other activities which the Squires have suggested are: track, swimming, tennis and golf. Horseback riding is fast becom- ing a popular sport under the ef. fective guidance of George Corcor- an. head of the outdoor club. Tennis should be one of the strongest sports this season, with Bud Kelly, last years junior tennis champ of this city, also Jack Kelly, John Conlan and owen Kyle, all of whom furnish plenty of material for a great team.
 'Fran" Fitzmaurice challenges any Squire in the city to a game of checkers.
 "Jim" tuddy's ambition is to start a golf tournament among the Squires.
 Beginning next week we shall endeavor to give our readers a short biography of each aspiring baseball player.

All of which in- dicates that Commissioner Joe Lawlor's insistence upon close physical checkups of visiting wrestlers Is not just a gesture, but has real facts, and sense behind 1t, based on the accepted axion that "an ounce of prevention it worth a pound of cure" Trachoma In its advanced stages, Is Just about incurable, and nearly al- ways results in slow blindness.
