Down through the ages only the flaming courage. the deep, fmmov- able faith and the unswerving loy- alty to people and things they hold dear has kept the Irish from be- ing smothered by the waves of prosecutions and assaults that have sought to engulf them. But today, despite the attacks to which she has been subjected and despite those years of distress and dis couragement, the Irish nation it. self is one respected by all the countries of the world, and except for a technical bond she is as free as any country on the globe. And today, as for, literally, centuries past, Irishmen and the sons of Ir.shmen are distinguishing them- selves in nations in very continent. The glory of Innisfail is known and respected by all, thanks to these unofficial ambassadors, whose char acter and achievements are their only credentials.
 "Irish City"
 Waterbury is often called by people elsewhere in the state and by people outside the state Con necticut's Irish City," Waterbury should glory in that designation, for the Brass City need look back only at its own history to how much of the city's progress from a country village to a bustling in- dug:rial city has been due to those 1rishmen and Irishwomen and their children who made this city their home, after adopting Amer ica as their new Motherland. From the middle of the last century down to the present day, the his- tory Of Waterbury and the history of its Irish and their descendants has been almost the same chron- icle.
 The tremendous strides made by Irishmen in Waterbury, the hugely important part that the sons of Erin play in present day life these are all the more remarkable when one realizes that it is little more than 100 years since the first I.ishman settled in Waterbury, and 1t iS a great deal less time than that that the Irish were here in any numbers. Still another fact that makes the advance of the Irish, in numbers and in influence, the more striking is that the early Irish settlers had ot bat tie against hostility from many sides, enmity and prejudice that was hidden, sometimes acknowledged, but there just the same. But, as they did in every country and city to which they went, the Irish tri- unphantly broke down the bar

some of the greatest dramas that
 have ever been written. In a per-
 iod of change, Ireland, according to
 many critics, is the only nation in
 the world, where the high ideals of
 literature are still followed. Irish
 realism. at its most realistic, is
 romantic.
 They can see that Ireland herself
 is. in a healthy condition. She is a
 nation on equal footing with her |'neighbors; she stands proud of the
 past. and confident of the future. After centuries of persecution, she lis nearer now than ever before to her age-old goal.
 With all this in their minds, Irish Americans of Waterbury be- gan their plans for an Irish House at Settlers Village. And, on Au- gust 11tl, 1t was dedicated at col- orful impressive ceremonies. The program included addresses by prominent personages, Irish songs and dances, and the blessings of
 the cottage by Rev. Francis M. O'Shea, administrator of tn e cnurcH oL tHe A1iini"CuiaIo SoAcep- tion.
 When the dedication proved such a success, the committee in charge decided to hold an Irish Day at Settlers Village. That day will
 come Sunday, the 29th, when
 Postmaster General James A. Far ley will deliver the principal ad- dress. There will also be another typically varied Irish program. The following program was pre- sented On dedication day, August 10th:

 The Irish in Waterbury have supported a number of strong orr ganizations. The Ancient Order or Hibernians and it's auxiliary have long been active in Waterbury fraternal groups. There have been many Irish literary, debating ana social clubs. The Patrick Sarsfieid club and other similar organiza~ tions have yielded a wide infiu- ence.
 Irish Americans
 Elt perhaps the strongest Irish organization that Waterbury has ever boasted is one formed only two years ago-the Irish-Amert- can club. In its membership ranks are several thousand women and men. The club has successfully sponsored events of many kinds Its outstanding offering was the mammoth St. Patrick's day parade here last March, when thousands of Irish, wearing the symbolic green of the Emerald Isle. march, ed proudly through the streets in one of the greatest demonstrations that Waterbury has ever seen.
 The Irish-American club, with g. large membership and able leadership, seems destined for even greater achievements in the future. As has every individual Irishman, the club has for its goal the perpetuation of the glory that is Ireland's and that of her loyal sons and daughters.

that would keep them from full equality with their fellow-citizens.
 First Settler
 The first Irish settler in Water bury is generally acknowledged to be Cornelius Donnelly, who estab- lis1ed his home on West Main street in 1882. The marriage of = nothy Corcoran, "of Ireland, !" was recorded here in 1881, but most local historians have agreed that Donnelly was the first Irish man to settle here permanently. Donnelly Is credited also with be- ing the first member of the Cath ollie faith to make his home in the then drowsy village of Waterbury.
 Cy the year 1S40, there were ap- proximately dozen Irish Catholic families which settled here. One of the first Catholic priests to visit here, perhaps the very first, was Rev. James Fitton of Boston, later Bishop Fitton, who was to have so rn1ch to do with the advancement of Holy Cross college, at Worces- ter, Mass. Until 1S44, Waterbury was in the Boston diocese, the

I dows on the rivers ripples made
irridescent by the oil and exhaust
fumes of the quaint tugs and
barges which ply it. Here and there
are gurgling rapids, formed as the
water tumbles happily over Model
T Ford frames, bed springs, gaso-
line drums, and battered crates. In
little eddies, grapefruit rinds spin
and dance.
Into the River Bronx, into this
clear, cool mountain stream, the
game commission placed 100 brown
trout, and told New York City's
seven million citizens to get out
their rods, slip on their hip boots,
and fish to their hearts content.
The day following the creation
of the fisherman's paradise. a
hundred thousand metropolitan
Izaak Waltons came down to cast.
By 10 in the morning the fisher
men were banked 10 deep up and
down the river. Their equipment
was fantastic. Some used broom
handles for rods; others employed
curtain rods, coat hangers, and
sticks picked up enroute. Bait
ranged from string beans to gin
bottle corks. Those who came with
regulation rods and reels might
just as well have tried to cast in
phone booth, SO great was the jam.
Honors for the biggest individual
catch of the day went to a re-
tired brick salesman from the up
per Bronx. who, late in the after
noon, hooked the captain of a
passing ferry boat in the leg. Until
this strike the leader was a milk
man who got the jump on the
field When the main body of fish
ermen arrived this chap already
had on his string two innertubes,
a corset. a roll of chickenwire. and
an oil heater. He used a royal
coachman No. on clothesline.
One of the fishermen brought a
homemade harpoon. All he got
was a flesh wound.
How long the fish are going to
stand for the Bronx river is not
known. The commission had a ter
rible time getting them in there.
The trout fought until overpow-
cred. IF there is a society that
watches out for the interest of
trout. now is the time for it to be-.
stir itself.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
BY UNITED PRESS

The fuss of opening day games
ended after four days of trying to
get them over with, Pacific Coast
league teams settled down today to
the more familiar business of try
ing to catch up with Los Angeles,
already the pace-Setters.
The last opener was presented
yesterday when Oakland, after
three disappointments, began its
regular season by defeating the
San Francisco Seals, 6-3. Jimmy
Tobin, an Oakland boy sent home
for further seasoning by the New
York Yankees, gave Frank O'Doul's
men eight scattered hits to begin
his league career auspiciouSly. An
ton, Oaks first sacker, hit q homer
his first time up.
Los Angeles won its second game
by taking a 10-inning decision
from Sacramento, 8-5. The Angels
collected Is hits but at the end of
the regular playing time they
found themselves tied at five-all
with the Senators who had eight
safeties. A three-run splurge at
Salvo's expense in the tenth set
tied the issue.
The Mission Reds kept pace with
the Angels by defeating Seattle,

BY LAwToN CARVER

NEW YORK, April 10.-The Max
Baer-Max Schmeling heavyweight
championship fight. announced or
iginally by Promoter Walter Roth
enburg for his native Germany as
part of the Nazi sports bulidup. to-
day became a Fascist backed pro-
ject headed for Rome.
Charlie Harvey, just back from
Europe with Steve Hamas, an
nounced that the bout would be
held in Italy August II.
"Mr. MusSolini," Uncle Charlie
said, speaking as Rothenburg's rep
resentative, personally will subsi-
die the bout to guarantee Baer
100000, under either of two terms
provided for in these contracts
with which am loaded down.
Under one contract Rothenburg
will place S150,000 in bank of
the champions choice one month
before the fight and the rest would
be put up 10 days before the fight.
Or the champ can accept $15,-
600 before sailing for Europe and
$4,000 upon his arrival and wait
until after the match to collect the
balance"
In either case Baer would be
forced to appear in Europe
month before the bout, and, if he
should accept the first plan, the
Sl50,000 would not be posted until
he arrived.
Harvey awaited long distance
call today to put the plans before
Baer and his manager, Ancil Hoff-
man, who are at Grand Rapids,
Mich, on a transforming hop.
Harvey said it was a plain case
of some fancy peddling by Rothen-
burg, who lined up the match for
Germany but ran into the obstacle
of Baer's Jewish extraction, then
shifted to London as part of King
Georges anniversary celebration
this summer, only to move from
there because of the heavy British
tax.
ut positively is in the sack if
Baer will sign Harvey said.
Harveys place in the negotia-
tions is explained by his assertion
that Rothenburg selected him to
handle the American end of the
deal without remuneration.
He has not overlooked the fact
that James j. Braddock might beat
Baer in June-in the match ex-
pected to be announced in the next
few days-but he is not authorized
to dicker with anybody but Baer.

NEW YORK, April 10.-f there
is a Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Fish, its members should
launch, and without delay, an at
tack on the New York state con-
servation commission which in a
burst of enthusiasm decided to
make the Bronx river a fisher
mans paradise.
The Bronx river flows by and
around New York City, and those
of you who haven't seen it would
perhaps appreciate a bit of des-
cription. Starting as a brackiSh
rivulet from a WestcheSter coun-
ty drain pipe, it quickly swells into
a mighty stream, and when 1t
passes McPherson's coal yard to
bend majestically around Long Is
land dump, it is 100 feet wide.
Bordering it are picturesque junk
yards, lumber mills. gasoline re-
fineries. and mattress factories.
Like great trees. smokestacks rear
their tall heads to cast long sha-
