MOST OF MAJOR
 CLUBS FAILED. TO STRENGTHEN
Chicago Cubs DisappOint-
 ed = Lopez. Simmons, FOxx, Marcum Move
By WINTHROP LYMAN United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Stan COrrespondent)
 Chicago. Dec. 13-CUP)-Baseb executives continued their frantic search for advantageous player deals today although the annual major league meeting had adjourned.
 Only two teams, the Detroit Tig- CTS and Boston Red Sox, emerged from the three day session with im- proved clubs.
 The Red Sox became 8 serious contender for the American league flag in 19A36 by acquiring Jimmy FoxX, slugging first baseman, and Johnny Marcum, promising young pitcher, from the Philadelphia Ath- leticS.
 The worlds champion Detroit Tig- CTS put out $75,00 for Al Simmons, White Sox outfielder.
 They were the only major deals.
 No Business
 The most disappointed team was the Chicago Cubs. Manager Charley Grimm had hoped to trade Chuck Klein and one of his relief pitchers to the Phillies for Curt Davis, 8 swell pitcher. But the Philly man. agement insisted on cash to boot.
 Grimm still wants another start ing pitcher and has a feeler out for Fred Farmhouse of the Braves, but so has Branch Hickey, vice president of the St. Louis Cardinals. Hickey tried to make deal with Boston yesterday which would have involved Farmhouse but hitch de- veloped at the last minute.
 Casey Stengel of the Brooklyn Dodgers got several of the club own- CTS excited when he said he would trade Van Lingle Mungo, brilliant young Dodger pitcher.
 "But I'd have to have flock of regular players in exchange" he said.
 Stengel said he would deal with the Cubs but that they would have to offer him something better than Klein and Tuck Stainback, utility outfielder.
 Backstop Business
 oAOOh4yn dk1O S1CtC1dA1O NULL dI IC expected to make deals soon for startnig catchers. The Dodgers left their home plate unguarded yester- day by trading Al Lopez to the Braves. Stengel may get together with the Cardinals on a trade be- cause the Red Birds now have two good catchers, Brusie Ogradowski, rookie purchased from Columbus yesterday, and Bill Delancey.
 Joe Mccarthy, manager of the New York Yankees, still is trying to strengthen his club with a trade or two. He may be able to lead Frank Higgins, Athletics infielder, but not without laying out some cash. Clark Griffith of Washington wanted to make some exchanges but his prices were too high. He wants to peddle Henie Manush, outf1elder.

Blessed Sacraments
 Cop First Game

Parishioners of Blessed Sacrament church as well as the clergy and other fans who attended the first game of the new basketball squad mast night were well pleased with the 28-15 victory turned in by the Blessed Sacrament squad in it's first game of any season. The contest played at Bunker Hill school gym showed Medford in a leading scor- ing role, with 10 points though Casey and Overton netted Il points between them. Cohen, Krisinsi and Majewski were the Trojans best bets.
 A game or two with Naugatuck teams is desired by the Blessed Sacraments, so that Rev. Edward Morrison can show his former par ishioners just how well his newly formed squad can play the hoop game. Summary:

But what does Pauline lack? He has the best chin defense I've ever seen. Joe Beckett and Phil Scott are generally recognized as the men who brought blocking with their chins to perfection, gut Pauline be- gins where they left of. And the way he counters with his ears and skull is sheer genius, and don't give me the line about every genius be- ing a little crazy.
 As said before, Pauline has age on his side. Some critics say he has too much age, but they're silly. Paulino's only 40 or whereabouts, and when you stop and consider the men who did all right when much older than that, Pauline seems just child. Woodrow Will son was president when he was 60; Hindenburg when 25 years older than Pauline, was in command of all the German armies; and Pad erewsky, while in his eighties, could still play you the hottest "melan- choly baby" you ever turned an ear to. And don't try to tell me Rocke- feller's credit isn't just as good to- day as it was when he was 25. As a matter of fact, I sort of wish Pauline was about 30 years older than he is. Then Youis couldn't hit him, out of respect.
 My man has other virtues too, For one thing, his wind isn't any too good and he tires easily. This will encourage him to make short work of Louis. For another, Pauline is a pretty sorry boxer and hitter Louis knows this, and it may work to my mans advantage in that Louis is likely to become careless And getting careless with Pauline is 8 dangerous thing, for he's likely to stay the full IS rounds and only lose the decision.
 The thing I like best about Paul lino, however, is that he is not in love. Love is a beautiful thing, yes, and I wouldn't have it abolished for anything. But I get awfully sick of athletes in love. It seems that every athlete I have dealt with in the past year or two was as full of cupid's darts as Sitting Bulls bonnet was of feathers.
 There isn't a single dart in Paul limos tough hide. His training camp was refreshing in that it failed to produce a single rumor that he was engaged to Park avenue deb- bic, had fallen for a night club swisher, or had proposed to a simple country maiden he had met while doing his roadwork. The old geezer came over here and lodged himself in Gus Wilson's ramshackled goofy- crest where the most feminine item of furnishing is a cuspidor. From start to finish the place smelled of horse liniment and not chanel or mutt de novel.
 So, I'll take Pauline.

 This will be the second year that Waterbury has entered a team in the circuit, and from the advance pre-league games already played it looks as though they should make 8 better showing than that of last year when they placed fourth in the standing.

 The team is bemg coached by 'Pal" De Lucia, Boys Club Cadet Varsity forward, who has worked hard in rounding into shape the following aggregation: Alphonse Janusis, Joe Stevenson, Robert Humphrey, Phillip Lucia, Henry Fisher, Albert Damelio, Harry Doo- Ian, Frank Luke and James Brun- nelli. Their schedule follows:

(By 'REQUEST")


 After an absence of bowling news for three weeks, the members of the bowling league conspired to tar and feather yours truly if nothing ap- peared in the sports column of the Waterbury Democrat this Friday evening; so I am appealing to the generosity and good nature of MT. John Cluney to see that all possible is done to prevent the proposed and above mentioned lynching.
 To date the "Bratels" have been able to hold their position at the top of the league, but only after some very hectic contests which were featured by rather good bow ling ii, the pinches of Al Carpenter, Geo. Mendillo and Henry Minicucci. Ex-Pres. Vincent Martinelli must also be praised as he bowled above his average on several occasions to cause no little consternation and ire among his opponents, particular ly Mardy Summa and Jos. Mazzie. To the captain of the Bratels, Joe Summa little can be said as he bowled three games under 85 which is not so hot for an anchorman. Unless he improves his anchor position is endangered.
 Last week 8 new high three was registered when Joe Mazzie, one of the famour 4 Mazzie's, fioored the pins for the rather enviable total of 376 and he has already been chal- lenged by Billy Giordano, who claims to better that mark tonight.
 We wonder what seems to be ail- ing our chairman, Pat Ciasullo, as his average to date far below his last years mark and the same must be said about the little Indian chief, Cab. Sciarra. It has been confid- entially rumored that these two boys are to gain whatever glory there may be in outwitting or out- bowling Vinny Martinelli and Nardy Summa.
 The race for individual bowling honors is getting to be quite close as the MazzieS are coming into their own. At the present time, we be- lieve Jake Buonocore leads with the following boys on his heels: Joe Mazzie, Rudy Mazzie, Spiggy Mag de, The Cappos and Al Carpentieri.
 Every bowling league has it's fun- makers and our happy league is no exception. To the writers way of thinking all honors for good humor must go to Frankie Manfredi whose continual bits of wit and humorous sarcasm hit the high spots every Friday evening. Following closely to Frankie is that frail person who answers to the Christian name of Beorge Mendillo and plenty of other sorts of names from opponents.
 Quite the opposite to fun-makers are Doc. Rettino and Sam Bandoin, who are conspicuous by their silence. Other boys who refrain from bois- terous outbursts are Jerry Cappo. Carmine Cappo. Billy Tedor and Billy Divito.
 Secrets that are being whispered here and there: Dom Telesco is aim ing for high single without Q mark. Dom Rosa is looking forward to plenty of beer at the banquet. Louis Martino and Jo-Jo Summa are con- k-.-.,.rn &s.ns. a &afaofa f0Y. fha near, future, on parliamentary procedure. The Mazzie Bros. are going on Q vaudeville tour. Danny Summa is trying to beat Minicuccii in bowling. Daddano trying to prove his worth the Capt. Cappo.
 Red Mucci is going to win back that money from Jo-Jo. Blais VIII help him. George Martino VIII never

 That's my prediction.
 If it fails may be sent up the river for good under the provisions of the "balny law"
 The ''balmy law" as you perhaus know, is the sports writing equiv alent of the Baumes law, which automatically gives fourth offend- CTS life sentences in Sing Sing. The ''balmy law" which accepts only sports writers, is even more severe. Its victims are incarcerated in a place where the only sports to cov- CT are six-day bicycle racing, wrestling, college baseball, and .wo- mems field hockey.
 If Pauline loses, up the river I go, for I'm already a three offense man, having picked Levinsky, Car nera, and Baer to whip Louis. But I'm not worrying, and why should I? Pauline has got everything, in- cluding old age. Some of the boys say Pauline hasn't got everything that he'll get some things tonight he never had before.

|SPEEDBOYS MEET |B. X. 6. TONIGHT
 ION LOCAL COURT
Stellar Hoop Game at HOpevIiIe Gym PreIinl
 and Dancing Carded

The Hopeville Community club Speedboys winners of their first game on their 19S5 home schedule last week turn to stiffer opposition this week when they take the Brooklyn A. c. on as the feature game of a double-header at the Hopeville school gymnasium. The Brooklyn A. 0. through their genial manager, "Butch" Devito, were booked late yesterday following the announcement by Harry Lynch that his team, the American Legion Five of Thomaston, would be unable to put 8 strong lineup on the floor due to several injuries his players received in Wednesday evenings game against the Torrington Maple Hills. The Speedboys will be re- suming relations with one of it's most friendly rivals of several years ago. The championship SpeedboyS of 1926 through to 1930 met the B. A. C's in several championship encounters with the Speedboys com ing out on top in the majority of the series. Many of the players of that regime will be missing from the lineup of both these clubs but the fans of yesterday are expected to witness the keen spirit and team play which made these rivals the top-notcherS few years ago. The Speedboys, coached by the same Ray French will start the game with four six footers intheir lineup, namely, Capt. Dave Bartolini, Frank ODonnell, Hennie Koch and Harry Dubuque. This lineup accounted for the high score of last week and has high hopes of taking the Brooklynites in their stride. The Brooklyn A. c. outfi coached by "tToos" McNamara is expected to show such city stars as Boley, Creighton, Baron, Swasey, Spadola, Huey and Yannol Carol. The pre- liminary game starting at 7:30 O. clock will bring together the Hope vile Juniors and the North End Trojans. Dancing will follow the main game.

They boast of having shot down an Ital- ian observation plane near Gerlo- gubi, with terrifying consequences for the crew. There was no official confirmation of the achievement.
 When the long and eagerly await ed call to battle finally came to the defenders of Ogaden the chief tains, the military commanders and their Khaki-clad or white lad warriors, following an age-old tra- dition, sat upon the ground and maintained a 5-minute Silence-an impressive manifestation of their gratitude that the edict to fight had come. Then they began inton- ing "Inhunc! Inhune! Inhune!" lSo let it beD. Not far from the squat ting soldiers workers were tacking big Red Cross flags on the roof of the hospital established by the Duke of Harar, oblivious of the ter- rife heat of the midday sun beat ing down on corrugated iron roofs.

CONSERVATIVES
 OFLABOR FORCE .
 TO WIN DISPUTE
Radical Element at Ses- sion of Federation Seem
 to Be in Minority

Atlantic City, Oct. e-(UP)-The conservative leadership of the American Federation of Labor fought with apparent success today to suppress insurgent moves on a half dozen fronts. The weight of control built up through the years was thrown against Q series of in- cipient revolts which threatened the harmony of the federAtion's 65th annual convention. The convention, which began yesterday, will provide the greatest test thus far for the conservative clements which have kept the federation away from many of the radical gestures advo- cated by some of its members.
 Insurgents To Lose
 A careful survey of some of the most controversial issues indicated that the insurgents, while rallying more strength than in previous years, would fall short of 8 majority vote.
 One faction, heading up through the Ladies' Garment Workers union and its president, David Dbinsky, began drive last night to have the federation sponsor changes in the federal constitution to permit regu- lation of interstate commerce for some new MIRA set-up.
 This proposal, voted down in Aug ust by the executive council despite it's support at that time by Presi- dent William Green, will be rejected by this convention unless an entirely unexpected switch in sentiment oc- CUTS. Green no longer is backing the idea.
 No Labor Party
 The movement for establishment of a labor party also appears headed for defeat although it is commanding more support than in previous years. Green coupled the labor party idea with communistic influences in his keynote speech at the opening of the convention, thus effectively shutting of any debate on the issues as purely American proposition. The industrial unions, advocating reshaping of federation policies to permit mass industrial organization instead of the more select craft unionization, seemed unable to rally enough votes to put over their program. The row in the building trades, which has settled down to a contest between two men schooled in the technique of bitter labor fights, remained unsettled de- spite 8 lengthy conference on 1t last night.

LOST BATTALION COL. DIVORCED

Newport, R. l., Oct. 8-(UP)-Col- onel 5nowden A. Fahenstock, New York, Washington and Newport so- cialite and second in command to the Lost Battalion" during the World war, has divorced the former Helen Moran of Newport. He charged desertion. The proceedings yesterday before Superior Judge AL beric A. Archambault lasted only a few minute. Neither of the princi- pals was in court and their deposit tions were read and immediately sealed. Mrs. F'ahenstock is the great granddaughter of Matthew Moran, first U. S. minister to Russia and founder of the banking house of Matthew Moran & Sons.
 The couple were married in 1925 and have two daughters. In joint statement attorneys said the divorce included no provisions for a finan- cial settlement or custody of the children, both matters having been disposed of "by prior agreements with the courts approval" The couple have been separated a year. Mrs. Fahenstock originally filed di- vorce proceedings and her husband then filed a cross complaint.
