BATTING CAGE WANTED

One of the cty's municipal parks where baseball dia- monds used daily could stand batting asserted Bob Moran former secretary of the Waterbury Brasscos he watched the City Amateur League teams through their batting fielding drills before the start of last Sunday games In addition to saving basebals which are tipped off and then grabbed by youngsters and many times grown ups cage would enable managers to give more attention in developing batting stances of younger players in hitting straght-away balls, etc., fault decidedly evident
 with most local youngsters breaking into the league Bob further to state that local concern in advertising should purchase cage which would not exceed $9O and present it the park department for everyone knows advertising pays It sounds like good suggestion to and hope it materializes

SCRIBE ATTACKS LAWLOR

State Boxing Commissioner Joseph Lawlor has been put on the pan by Bert Keane sports editor of the Hartford Courant regarding his allowing several state amateur fighters to box more than once in week. Here's what Bert writes in his column captioned May be It's An Oversight: Unless Joe Lawlor Connecticut boxing boss has made unannounced changes in the state nfractons of the rule which specifically states that no amateur boxer shall box oftener than in seven days" It is possible that Mister Lawlor has changed change But the files of your envoy do not show that there has been such change in the amateur boxing code Last week the amateur boxing reports appearing in The Couran reveal that several amateur boxers not only participated in more than show in the spu lated day period but they allowed by Law ors deputies and inspectors to fight in different cities of this state on consecutive nights.

NO REASON GIVEN FOR HOLDING OFF
 DAVISCUP DRAWS
D DecisiOn on American Singles Players Cause
 of POstpOnement
BY HARRY P. PERCY

(United Press Stan COrfespOndent)
 Wimbledon, England, July 25.-- (UP)-Draw for the Davis cup challenge round, in which the United States will attempt to re- gain the historic international tens his trophy now held by England, was postponed to-day until toInor- row. No reason was given.
 It was believed officials of the Lawn Tennis association ordered the postponement in deference to Joseph w. Wear of Philadelphia, non-playing captain of the Ameri- can team. 1t wAs known Wear had not fully decided on his singles players. While he was certain to name Donald Budge of California, he had to choose between Wilmer Allison of Austin, Texas, and Sid- ney B. Wood, Jr., of New York for the second berth.
 While Allison contributed large- ly to the success of the American team in, then interzone final with Germany which ended yesterday he won one of his singles and was the principal factor in the dou- bles victory-he lost some ten pounds and was woefully tired when his stint was done.
 Wood on the other hand, is an in-and-outer.
 Thus the choice lay between two veterans, one a dependable court workman who might win one of his singles with England, and the other stylist who, inspired, con- ceivably could capture both.
 i Doubles Team Set
 There was no doubt as to the makeup of the American doubles team. It will be composed of All lison and Johnny Van Ryn of Philadelphia.
 The English team also was def mite. Fred Perry, No. l in world rankings, and Henry Wilfred (Bun- ney) Austin will play the singles, and the ew combiation of George Patrick Hughes ad Charles Ray mond Davys Tuckey will play dou- bles.
 No matter who is chosen for the American side, and no matter what the outcome of the draw Friday England will go into defense of the cup favorite at odds ranging from 3-to-2 to 2-to-1. England lifted the cup from France in 1883 and retained it last year.
 The English squad has had Q fortnight of scientific training and practice since it's various members quit play in the all-England tour- ney. America, however, is weary after its gruelling fight to hurdle Germany in the itnerzone.
 The first brace of singles will be played Saturday, the doubles on Monday, and the remaining two singles, on Tuesday.

In the first three innings Eddie and most of the Waterbury team seemed to be giving their interpre tation of that song hit of last year, T Flaw Down and Go Boom." Ed die tried to mount little Eddie Cantor, the smallest donkey in tho collection but the animal seemed to be going up every time Eddie was coming down.
 Eddie Gets On
 Tn the fourtn inning, however, Eddie fooled them. He first mounted on a bench and then leaped to a donkey's back. Several times the donkey threw the 360- pound Waterburian but each time Eddie got back and finally can- tered down to first base. He reached there before the ball but the donkey wouldn't stay put and Eddie was caught off first.
 The combination of Luke Comis- key and Ted Murphy was too much for the Waterbury nine. Luke hit a triple in the fourth and showed himself versatile rider by com ing home on Murphy's single. In the last inning, the sixth, Ernie Schiavone of Waterbury got to first safely when Duffy, Naugatuck first baseman, dropped Comiskey's threw. The rotund Waterburian reached second when Johnny Ba- linsky dropped the ball and took home when the throw to third went over Red Stapleton's head.
 Doran to Rescue
 Razor" Doran. Red" and Atty. Joe Navin and other members of the visiting team made sure that run would score by meeting the donkey on the third base line and dragging him home.
 This tied the score but in the last half of the sixth Comiskey singled and scored when Murphy rapped out a sizzling hit to right field. The feature of the game was the Naugatuck fielding, few Water burians reaching first and fewer still reaching second.
 Eddie Keenan was the main laugh -getter with Red" Stapleton, who threw himself on the donkey } as if he were making a tackle, being a close second. "Red" was thrown by the mule almost every time but kept on trying. Razor" Doran finally succeeded in mount ing his animal but was to late to reach first base.
 "Red" Garren Plays
 Keenan pitched and Shea caught for Waterbury. Others who played on xhe Brass City team were: Bill Clasby, 1b; Red" Navin, 2b; oeJ Navin, 3b; Joe Wall, ss: Paul Dor an, If; "Red" Garren, cf., and Err nie Schiavone, If. With Nauga- tuck Comiskey pitched and Duffy caught most of the game. Murphy was at first, Dutch" Holland 2b; Louis Triano, sb; Stapleton ss; J. Balinsky, If; Ed Hennessey, of, and Emmett Carroll, If. Nauges played the last few innings in the putfield.

 After the novice has mastered the art of breathing and the dead mans float, the third step in learning to swim is leg movement.
 Probably the most powerful leg movement in the crawl. or any other stroke, comes from the fiut- ter kick.
 To learn this, first do . dead mans float. The kick comes from the hips, with e slight bending at the knees. Care should bo taken % that the kick should be about an eight-inch splash. and per. formed with an easy movement designed to eliminate stiffness of the legs.

MICNAULT HEADS BEACH OFFERING
Brockton Slugger to Box Buck Tracey Saturday;
 Arcelli Meets Bashara
Special to The Democrat

Walnut Beach, July 25-A secon- dary feature which should more than fulfill Matchmaker A. Carolys earlier promises of plenty of action at Walnut Beach this summer, was announced today by Caroly to sup port the main go of eight rounds between Bud Mignault of Brock ton and Buck Tracey at the re- sort stadium Saturday night.
 The bout will involve Werther Arcelli of Boston, Italian junior welterweight champion, and Toot- sic Bashara of Norwal and Walnut Beach. The battle is slated for eight rounds, as the final, and should produce plenty of fireworks if both continue their slugging style. Arcelli is we'll known in these parts for his two sensational bat ties with Cocoa Kid for the New England welterweight title. He IS a two-fisted young man and is more than willing to stand toe to toe with his foes and fight it out for a knockout one way or an- other.
 Bashara in his debut, on the oth- CT mana, also SnoWeQ an dplituoe for slugging and sent Tony Cav eau of Springfield back to his home with a nine-round technical knockout against his record last i Saturday. Bashara was highly im- pressive and with both boys ready to punch, fans are due for quite a session when they take to the ring.
 In the six round special match, Frankie Smith of Norwalk and
 Stanley Morris of Brockton are down for a return engagement. Two fours will complete the card and will be announced today. Need Money? A Democrat Classified Ad will help you dispose I-A An..l-. lE... Gl
