SHADED IN ROUGH GAME
Naugatuck Won 25=lS; May Play Alumni Next
 at YMCA Court

Naugatuck, Dec. 23-A possible game with the Alumni looms for the Naugatuck high school basketball team, which sports clean record thus far. The Garnet outfit won its second game Saturday night at the Y. M. 0. A. here, defeating Shelton high in a rough tussle, 25- 18.
 The locals jumped into an early lead and maintained it throughout the game. They led 8-4 at the end of the first period, 13-7 at half-time and 16-10 when the third quarter ended.
 Too Tough
 As can be seen it was a tight defensive game. Fouls were numer- ous and Sterniak, who scored five points for the locals and Korwotny of Naugatuck and Cadlin, Shelton center, were elected because of personal fouls. Naugatuck made seven of its foul tries and Shelton center, were etaoinshrdlucmfwyp-ai made 8. The Garnet play showed improvement but the fact the play CTS still commit many fouls will count against them in close bat tie if they continue the practice. Only a small crowd saw the contest.
 Myles Sweeney continued to lead the way, scoring eight points for George Allen found the hoop for six tallies. The Shelton reserves whipped the Naugy sec onds, 36-20.

 BEAT FINE FIELD IN NASSAU MEET
Leo Mallory Won $l,OOO and British Colonial Golf
 Crown By Single Stroke
By FRANK MATTHEW'S Limited Press Staff Correspondent


 Nassau, Bahams, Dec. 2S-(UP) Followers of the winter golf trail were enroute to Florida today with new champion in their midst 24-year-old Leo Mallory of Noroton, Conn, who displaced Bobby Cruick- shang as holder of the British Col onial open title.
 The battle for gold on the south- ern links will be resumed Jan. 3 when the field which concluded the fourth major winter tournament yesterday swings into action in the $2,50O Miami open, Florida's oldest tournament Fine Finish
 Mallory enriched himself by $1,- 900 yesterday when he clipped 8 stroke from par to beat Johnny Revolta of Milwaukee, this years P. G. A. champion, fo rfirst prize.
 Trailing Willie MacFarlane of Tuckahoe, N. Y, by a stroke at the start of the final IS of the 72-hole tournament, Mallory toured the course in 67 to post total of 271.
 Although he shattered par by two strokes, Revolta finished with 272 for second prize of $500.
 Hard Luck
 Curiosity proabbly cost MacFar- lane $6O0-the difference between third and first place money. Mac- Farlane, who scored a pair of CTS on Saturdays two 18-hole rounds, took 72 yesterday for 274. On the sixth tee, he noticed piece ot scrap iron lying on the ground. He picked it up, examined it and then threw it away. In throwing the scrap, MacFarlane suffered severe gash on his right hand and from that point played virtually one handed.
 A magic butter which enabled him to drop half 8 dozen 12-footers was what gave Mallory his victory. He went over par on four holes and scored birdies on five others. The young professional took five on the first hole with three butts. From then on his putting steadied. He went out in 35, one over par, and returned in g.

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Miami, Fla, Dec. 23.-(UP).-Fear that Cuban kidnapers would put the snatch" on Joe Louis is the real reason Promoter Mike Jacobs abandoned the scheduled fight be- tween the Brown Bomber" and Isadore Castanaga in Havana.
 Havana officials still are under the impression that the boys will fight on Feb. 2-the postponement date suggested by Jacobs-but Louis won5t be there on that date or any other.
 Rough Stuff
 I had dinner with Mike Jacobs here Friday night, shortly after he had returned from Havana, and teeth still were chattering. Between chatters he told story which in- volved machine guns, tough guys caps on, and very sinister rumors. His departure from Havana was made under the cloak of darkness, m a great hurry.
 From the moment he stepped of the plane in Havana and was sur- rounded by six gentlemen bearing guns, Jacobs knew he wanted no fight there. The fact that the artillerymen said they were there to protect him did not soothe Mrfi Jacobs.
 II don't like to be in Q place where I need that sort of protec- tion," he said. And I didn5t like the talk of Kidnapping I heard. A man who is in a position t oknow said there had been half a dozen 'snatches' in the past few months. Louis, and his wealthy managers. j .lian Black and John Peterborough, might have been too great tempta- tion. And they might have consider ed me good Kidnapping material"
 At the meeting between Jacobs. the boxing commission. and various cuban officials, Mike was told that the fight must go on. And there was an tor else" tone in their voices. The session-and 1t was a fairly stormy one-lasted until the last plane for the United States had leff Havana. Tipped that there was a boat leaving for Key West
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-12-23

at seven in the evening Jacobs. at 6 D. m., asked that. the meeting be adjourned until the following morn ing, This was agreed upon and Jacobs, grabbing his luggage on the run, made the boat.
 On the GallOp
 Jacobs said Joe Jacobs, Schmel- ing manager, who also made the trip, established a new all-time rec ord for boat-catching.
 q had four block start on him" !" Mike said, "but when I got there Joe was in the cabin with the door locked and a please don't disturb sign hanging on the knob"
 Jacobs asked that the story be held up 6 few days to allow Walter St. Denis, publicity man, and Lionel Levy, 20th Century club architect, . chance to get out of Havana.
 Promoter Jacobs sai dthe story he told Cuban ofilcials about Louis being in poor physical condition be- cause of overwork was absolutely untrue.
 "Joe never was better, but I had to tell those fellows something. One look at those machine guns. and I'd have told Sem anything. Joe's next fight will be with Charley Retzlan in Chicago next month"

IOrTlI1RCOl.
 Little is known of the Crosby team this season, beyond the fact that three of last years regulars have graduated. Joe Joyce, Henry Koch and Jimmie Gribbon all re- ceived their diplomas last June, and Coach Schofield is faced with the proposition of filling the shoes of three fine players. Only Jimmie Harrison and Eddie Murphy of last years starting regulaes are still in in school. Walter PrauskitiS and '.Mush" Carmen, both of whom saw some service with the first team, are battling for positions. During the past week, Crosby played 8 practice game with Alden Whites Roxburys team, which resulted in a 26-23 victory for Roxbury. Crosby made a pretty good impression, as- pecially in the second half, when flashes of real teamwork appeared. The team, however, is as yet un- tested.
 Techmen Have Start
 Tonight Coach Jake Reiger's Leavenworth team will be Crosby's opponent at Wilby gym. Leaven- worth has already played five games and is probably well ahead of Crosby in its development. Leavv- enworth dropped a game to Wilbv last week and Crosby will be i. Tn there tonight to duplicate Wilby's victory. Coach Schofield's club may win, but the victory will probably be by no means one-sided. Wilby with veteran club from lasts sea- son, is probably at this point at least, several strides in advance of Crosby, and for that reason Crosby will undoubtedly have a much tougher time in stopping Leaven- worth.
 Derwin Heads Grads
 Christmas night Crosby will play its annual game with its own Alum nj. This game has become fea- ture of the holiday season and al- ways draws out big crowd of students, alumni and others. Bill Derwin is collecting 8 group of Alumni stars, who are still active in the court game. Derwin an- nounces that he will show Ike Kern, Colgate all-around athlete; Abe Steinman of Penn, Eddie o. Donnell, Holy Cross; Elton Will mont, Washington college: Jimmie Gribbon, Colgate; Henry Koch and Joe Joyce. All these boys are play ing basketball now, and promise to take the high school team, just as the Alumni swimmers took the high school swimming team last Friday night.
 Torrington Coming
 Saturday night, Coach Schofield's club meets Torrington, in its first league game of the season. All games for Crosby this week are local, to be played at the Wilby gym. There will be a double header each night, with, the preliminary starting at 7:15.

STRONG POLO
 TEAM SELECTED
Westchester Series With England to Be Renewed
 in June

New York, Dec. 23.-CUP)-Five players, including Tommy Hitch- cock, ..ie worlds only 10-goaler, were named today to represent America next June in a London re- newal of the historic Westchester cup polo series against England.
 The team will consist of Hitch- cock. Elbridge T. Gerry, Winston F. c. Guest, Stewart B. Iglehart and Michael G. Phipps. A sixth player, Billy Post, was named but he de- clined an invitation because of bus- mess reasons.
 The U. s. Polo association an- nounced that no further selections will be made, so the team probably will carry only one spare player.
 The series, last contested in 1880 when America whipped England two matches to nothing, will be played in London, June 10, 13 and 20 on a two out of three games basis.
 The last series played in England was in 1921, when America won 20. This country also triumphed by the same score in the 1924 and 1927 series played here.

Contractors vs Schedulers


 Its seems that the Contractor can't seem to get started because this week they lost thre games to Tom Marshalrs Schedulers. Bob Heseltine tried to encourage his team by returning to anchor posi- ton but we think that the newness of the place threw him off of his game but we see the Contractors moving ahead when the year 1886 rolls around. It seemed that the Schedulers couldn't be stopped by anybody because every man was i. bowling even Fred Wooster. Mike Wall sure has stood under the big guns as anchor and we think he will be among the 100 bowlers be- fore long.

Recorders vs specialties

Joe Galasso's Recorders who have been trying to climb upward in the league standing suffered defeat this week at the hands of Jack Tang ley'S Specialties. The Specialties were without their wonderful an- chor man, Frank Johnson, but don't worry. Frank, the sub did very good.- We notice that since Sterry was conferred an honorary membership on the Scrub team he has bowled over the Scrub Team average. We wonder what would happen if a lot of others were given life member shipl The Specialties seemed to have silenced the noise of the Re- corders and perhaps if the Record- CTS had tried to drown out the cheers and jeers it might have been different story. George EricSon, the substitute, was high scorer for the Specialties with BPS and Ed Standard was high for the Record CTS with 307.

 OF BRASS CITY SWEEPSTAKES
Avon Duckpin Star Topped C Iassy Field GaCek
 End, White 3rd

Spilling the duckpins for an aver age of better than 13S over a ten- game stretch, Mike Bogino, the ''iron man" from Avon, knocked of top honors in the first annual Brass City sweepstakes Saturday at the Genlot alleys, with a total pinfall of 1885. His TIP for the first five games was very much the best of all competition which included 34 bowlers of local and statewide but the Blue Ribbon bowler put together strings of 16O and 157 in his second and third games to get away fast over the classy field which included Jack White of New Haven, United States singles champion in 1885, who finished third in the meet behind Joe Gacek of New Britain. Two games of 99 and 1l2 spoiled Whites chances to win while Gacek had a couple of fairly soft games, Ill and IA which he could not balance off with extra high scores.
