SIX TEAMS IN
 ITALIAN LEAGUE

Indications that six teams to play baseball Saturday, May 9th, at Hamilton Park will comprise the membership of the Italian American Baseball League this season were strong as five team managers met last night with President Peter Di- Leo to map out a campaign for the circuit, which boasted only four clubs last season. The Aviglianese Society, and Naugatuck Italian American team is expected to com- plete the league, each team post ing a $25 entry fee, and the teams playing one round, or schedule of games, the winner to be named champion, rather than a split-sea- son of games as was played last season.
 John Santopietro was chosen an official scorer, with one more scorer to be named at the next meeting, Monday night as well as league umpires for the season Patsy Di- Fronzo, vice-president, Michael Gugliotti, treasurer and Anthony Caputo, secretary are the other league officers.
 The teams represented by their managers at the meeting last night were: North End Giants, defending champions, Buck Maisto; Fratellan- ga, Calisto Schiappa; Pontes, Rocco Palladino; Civilta, Progresse, Frank Maisto; Aviglianese, Leonard Laval l0

MATT DUNPHY ONLY CANDIDATE.
 CHOSEN AGAIN.
Deadlock Is UnbrOken on Vote for Vice.President;
 Next Meeting Monday

Rumors of Q "clean sweep" within the official ranks of the City Anna teur Baseball league was pretty well borne out last night at a meeting of six team managers, who were principally concerned with election of officers for the coming season, and, with one exception, none of last seasons officials were reelect- ed. Harry x. Cashin, chairman of the "On to Cleveland" financial campaign last season, which proved a marked success, president of the Industrial Twilight league and also the Waterbury Bowling association was chosen to succeed George w.. Casey, president of the circuit for the past two seasons. Matt Dunphy, treasurer of the league for several years was again chosen to handle the circuit coin, while Johnny Pilla, former Wilby and St. Bonaventure athlete proved the successful "dark horse" candidate of the election, being chosen to succeed Clifford McI1ale, as secretary, following the receipt of Mir. McHale's resignation, due to the pressure of business, which was read to the managers by President Casey. George Dillon and John Rock were other candidates nominated for the secretaryship.
 Following three ballots on the candidacy of Maurice Fitzgerald and Maurice Ryan for the office of vice-president to succeed James W. Lee, a deadlock remained which will be broken, if possible, at the next league meeting Monday night, when the new president, MT. Cashin will be in charge.
 Umps Named Later
 No other business was conducted, the appointment of umpires and collectors going over until the next meeting, at which time the official opening date for the six teams ine league play will probably be agreed upon. The Watertown Princetons. applicants for league franchise ealrier this month, were not rep- resented last night.
 At the meeting, the champion Sacred Hearts were represented by John Howard, Bill "Tipper" Conley for the Tribunes, Rudy Bercier for the Brooklyn A. C.. Tom Purcell for the Washington Hills, Freddy Jaca.. |yino for the North End Thomas club and Bob Kiersted for the Recrca- tons.

DOBIE SMILES AT END OF FIRST B. 6. GRID DRILL
Squad of I2O Gives Up Easter Vacation to Learn
 Game From Mentor
BY FRANK MURPHY UInited Press NtaR COrreSnOndent)

Boston, March 31-Gil Dobie's magic name today had attracted a record group of 12O candidates-- with more to come-to the opening of spring football practice at Boston college.
 The veteran former Cornell coach put his big squad through two hours conditioning work at University Heights yesterday and afterward, contrary to all Dobie legends, came up smiling.
 This is better material than l had at Cornell for some tirne," said Gil in his best drawl. T didn't have much in the way of material at Ithaca for the past three or four years. This squad is larger than I'd been getting at Cornell, and they seem to have considerable natural ability"
 Rules Of Conduct
 Although the 57-year-old Dobie's New England coaching debut was cut short by much picture-taking and an early windup, lest the boys get too stih and sore, the tall strategist established several set principles at his first workout.
 First was that every movement on the practice field will be a foot ball movement.
 Secondly, man plays are to be learned and much scrimmaging done in the spring sessions.
 Lastly, everybody starts from scratch, with 1885 records discard ed except for checking purposes.
 Calisthenics and track work have no place in Dobie's conditioning methods. The players get all their exercise in 100 per cent football movements, whether tossing or catcing passes, kicking or receiving kicks, blocking or tackling.
 No Time Wasted
 In the first of his drills, Gil had his candidates line up in single files and take turns racing out for sharply thrown passes. Next he had the 120 hopefuls square off in two- man tackling bees. Later he had them group around him to absorb his ideas about blocking of various types. Before he called 1t @ day Dobie had even given an eleven, picked at random, an offensive play which had all the marks of his fa- nous smash at the tackles.
 Dobie, with his assistants Harry Downes and Bill Ormsby, will con- tinue thes bring drills at Boston college until May 2, except for holy week. Captain Alec Pozenny told the new coach that the squad had vol unteered to give the second week of It's Easter vacation for practice
