BRICKLAYER IS
 HELD ON CHARGE

Bridgeport, Conn. Oct. S1.-(UP) Benjamin Cerretta, 2S, jobless bricklayer, was held today on tecnical breach of peace charge as an investigation was renewed into the bandit killing of Deputy Sheriff Peter J. Kaminski, Jr., while he was sitting in a parked automobile at Gulf Beach, Milford.
 His detention was ordered by New Haven County Coroner James J. Corrigan late yesterday until he was thoroughly investigated.
 His apprehension came after a jail inmate, Thomas Voccola, said Cerretta told him he had been in the same automobile with the killer until after the officer was slain, and he then made his way to Voccola's home at Stratford. Under question ing by the coroner, Voccola ad- mitted the story false.
 Kaininski, sitting in his car with a New Haven divorcee and another couple, was killed by a bandit who robbed two of the occupants and lied in . waiting car.

Dressed as pirouettes, Barbara Garms and Donald Graves were awarded first prize at the Wash ington Park Community Club an- nual masquerade, for the most pie turesque costumed couple in the contest. The dance and masquer- ade was held in the Community house with music by Bob Tyrell's orchestra.
 Other prizes awarded were to William Kelly, Mrs. Katherine Fitz- patrick, and Mrs. Ted Donahue. Judges were William J. De1win, Pierre Pronovost and Raymond French. A very small percentage of the attendance was costumed. Favors, noisemakers and festoons and the serving of pumpkin pie and cider added to the Halloween spirit of the affair. The grand march, in which the contestants vied for prizes, was the highlight of the evening.
 The three leading teams of the Ear benders' tournament continued in that status last night, though it required hard play. Due to tie games, playoffs were necessary in two of the matches.

for the past two seasons has been such that even the most conserva- tive judges of baseball material cannot see how he can possibly fail to make the big league grade. AL lowing even for considerable defla- ton, his record indicates that he has enough to earn a regular place in the Yankees outer garden
 Young Joe hit .3y9 for the San Francisco Seals last season, hitting 46 doubles, IT three e-baggers, and 34 home runs. He batted in 151 runs with his 269 hits and scored I'll runs himself. He is right-handed hitter, but that really doesn't mat ter much, for he is definitely a line hitter. Of course, the short right field fence in the Yankee Stadium is inviting to a man bat ting from the other side of the plate but Manager Joe Mccarthy is likely to be satisfied if Joe comes through with his share of line drives which land safely in the vast left field area.
 Hoag a Problem
 In the past the Yankees have had fair luck with their coast league purchases. Bob Meusel, Mark Koe- mig, Lefty Gomez, Frank Crossetti and Tony Lazzeri learned their baseball lessons in California before starring in the New York livery. Colonel Ruppert has had his dis appointing experiences, too-plenty of them. Right now, one of the problems facing Manager Joe Mc- Carthy is just what to do with Myril Hoag, another coast leaguer who came to the Yankees with a s60,000 price tag. Hoag came up as an outfielder, tried for a spell at third base and now is being groom ed to take his turn on the mound. Hoag has a marvellous throwing arm and looked good on those in- frequent occasions last season when he was sent out to pitch in batting practice.
 It is interesting to note that the Yankees have been unusually lucky with Italians from the coast. Laz- zeri and Crosetti of the present day squad stand out, while a few years ago the colorful Ping Bodie delighted Yankee rooters with his hard hitting and amusing antics.

The advance notices on Joe Dl- Maggie, the coast youngster whc makes his big league bow with the New York Yankees this spring have placed him on the well known spot" but at the same time, nc rookie ever found such a ready made spot awaiting him if he has the goods to deliver.
 The Yankees are badly in need of hard-hitting outfielder Their efforts to land one by trading with other American League clubs failed to produce the right man, so their thoughts and hopes have turned to the young Italian from San Fran cisco.
 Joe Picks Elm Off
 The experts on the coast are of the unanimous opinion tn at Di- Maggie is great ball player in the making. They report him to be a devastating hitter, fast as they come and blessed with a throwing arm that has struck terror into the hearts of ambitious Pacific Coast League base runners last season. His record of 90 assists indicates that he has been very much on the job in tossing to the right bases.
 DiMaggio, through his own mag nificent performances on the dia- mond, is entirely responsible for the ballyhoo that precedes him and builds up so much hope in the hearts of the Yankees. His work
