WOLVES RALLY, SHADE RIVALS IN N. E. Y. GAME
Winners Come From Be. hind ll-2 Score to Win
 26-24-Cadets Cop

Tn a listless encounter before a fair sized crowd at the North End "" last night, the Wolves defeated the Washington Park Community club, 26-24. Featuring offensive bril- fancy of Mike Haiday and Ken Kelly, the Wolves overcame @ big lead piled up by the Hill combine at the start of the game and went on to win.
 Bob Leece, the crack center of the Creavenmen, returned to action, but the long layof, plus some effective guarding by the Abrigador quintet, batt', up the big center and limited him to two field goals and a foul. The Hill five stepped out to build up an 11-2 lead at the end of the first period, but the Wolves cut the lead with some effective shooting, the Kellymen leading at half, 14-1l. Just before the third quarter ended, Mike Haiday sank sensational shot give the Wolves their first advan- from past the center of the floor to tage, 17-l6. Moore put the visitors in front, but Herb Leece counted to put the North Enders in the van again. Vallone sank @ basket and foul, and Haiday counted from the foul line. Bob Leece threw in hook shot to tie hte score, and Ken Kelly sank Q basket to give the Wolves the lead. Haiday threw in another basket, and Kelly counted again from in close to put the game on ice. Moore and Quilter scored suc- cessive baskets ip the closing sec- onds for the Hill crew, but the final whistle cut short the rally. The score:

 Although these two teams form a ramily reunion when they come to- gether (much to the sorrow of Dan Summa), there seems to be an i'll feeling among them as to which is the better team. After being doped all through that first game setback, the Bratels finally came to- and dis played that never-say-di9 spirit, when they used methods (nothing new to mel to come over the top in the next two games.
 Keeping in condition by bowling, Danny Brottis scores of l3l, 90, 1l6, indicate that his arm is in perfect order, and his eye is focused on leading the batting averages in the iCty Amateur Baseball league Here's hoping that some day Dan will be listed among the holdouts nj the big leagues.
 Incidentally, Dan and Al Carpen- tier were the whole show in the battle mentioned above.
 Proving that his recent score of 145 was no fluke, Frank Mazzie again spilled the wood for neat 142 game last week, to help his team trim the Climbers and create second place tic.
 Not to be outdone by his big brother, little Joe Mazzie bounded right back with record-breaking league score of l68.
 Some fellows get all the luck, this being leap year has certainly helped Winnie Martinelli. His previous scores of 70 and 30 have leaped to 90 and sometimes 100 and his cellar standing in the average sheet has jumped up one. Winnie mistook Joe Mazzie's l68 for a three game score and proudly exclaimed that he topped that score one night with a total of 220.
 "Silent Lou" Rettin and Blast" Blase are convalescing after an ate tack of grippe. The league sends its regrets and looks forward for their appearance tomorrow night.
 
 By the way. let me answer a question put up to me last week. Yes. Henry Minicucci is still in the league. No. the ball and chain is not attached yet. Incidentally. our teams happen to be scheduled to- morrow and Henry threatens to knst me up with his scores.

CHUPHISTO AND BONICA IN MAIN
 BOUT TONIGHT
MezenOff and MOnaker in Special GrappIe-Gaf.
 fur Kahn to Show

Popped up for their first showing in Waterbury, four wrestlers asso- ciated with the independent group of matmen which has been provid- ing pleasant entertainment for lo- cal patrons, will take on worthy op- position this evening during a five bout program presented by Promo ter George Mulligan and Match maker Joe zonsin. One of the new faces, 0ts' Q dandy belong to the Great Chuphisto, champion of Aus tria, whose wrestling in middle western cities has been the subject of considerable comment of an ex- cellent nature by St. Louis and Min- neapolis writers. Chuphisto will meet Benito Bonica in a 90 minute time limit bout in which two falls will decide the winner.
 Promising
 For sustained action and top- notch wrestling, the special 45-min- ute bout featuring gentleman George" Mezenoff of Russia and Sammy Monaker, the Jewish sen- sation from New York city should be worthy of witnesses for the young men average 200 pounds in weight and are strong enough to put on a fine, first class performance. Mezenoff already has proven him- self popular and an able nathan, while Monaker's lone appearance in this city was well received.
 Eddie Dawson, Olympic wrestling title-holder in 1928 is also @ new- coner to Waterbury and will be taking on plenty of trouble in Sammy Cohen whose flying tackle miscued on his last visit to our fair city, almost putting him in the hospital. He will be much more careful tonight, for in Dawson, he meets man who knows all the tricks and the speed to put them over.
 Bull Fighter
 Mario Besto of Spain will show Waterburians how easy 1t is to throw Q bull without a red flag, the bull being human in this instance and impersonated by Gaffur Kahn of Afghanistan whose bout with Tragas the Greek, was a bowling success a month back. Bulls do not have moustaches as rule, but that will not stop Mario, if Qaffur's handlebar lip adornment gets with- in reach.
 Stasis Kalvaitis, of Philadelphia. who is a bearded House of David wrestler will open the show against Pete Sturgis of Albania, i75- pounder who really knows wrestling while Kalvaitis, young man has a few holds that will win the bout in short order, he claims, prior to his initial showing in this city. The boys will go 20 minutes or one fall.
