Werber and White, for exam
pie, led both big leagues in stolen
bases in 1884. They actually were
remindful at times of the Immortal
Tyrus Raymond Cobb. upsetting
rival infields with daring sprints
and slides. Whites aggressiveness

batting mark above .204.

Naugatuck, July 29-Naugatucls
should have a municipal swimming
pool and a fine location for such
would be the Recreation field,
Peter ]. Foley, who is coach of the
Naugatuck high school athletic
teams and playground instructor
at Recreation field, said today.
He believes it would be to the
advantage of the borough to have
such a thing, that is, cement
swimming pool erected there, as
an FERA, WPA or PWA tobj.
There is plenty of room available.
he points out and it is not too far
for residents of all sections of the
town.
Good For All
The pool could be used by all
local residents he said. He points
out there have been complaints
of muddy conditions at the New
Dam. Besides it is not centrally To-
Gated and seems to be mostly Sec
tionally popular. 1t is long way
for residents of Union City, High
street or New street to go for n
swim. r
There has been some talk for
some time of municipal pool. but
lack of funds has confined it to
merely talk. Mr.. Foley however,
feels that the government agen-
c:es provide the town with fine
chance to erect such place.
