FIREMEN SCORE
 THANKS TO JUMPS

Naugatuck, July 28--Although there was no fire in town today, Naugatuck firemen were pretty hot under the collar this morning. The . reason for this is that Waterbury firemen claimed 5-3 victory in a morning paper, over the local smoke eaters, when in reality, acc cording to the local players, Nauga- tuck won 3-2.
 'Why we even gave them the privilege of using their own four iimpires," one member of the team said today, land beat them at that How do they get that way"
 There was one thing that both sides agreed on, that is that the game was exciting and close. It was played ct Linden park last night Mccoy pitched for the visitors and Murphy caught with Grimm, Joy Graham and Conlon playing the inc field and Baker, Maloney and Holmes spearing them in the out field.
 Luke Comiskey twirled for Naug- atuck and Bayliss caught. Others on the Naugatuck team were: Will cox, Scanlon, Donovan, Mulesky LsaWlor and Holland.

BOROUGH BOY
 LAUDED HIGHLY
 BY NAVY CLASS
Ray Dubois Expected to Be Regular Tackle on
 l036 Grid Machine

Annapolis, Md, July 23.--Wlth one of the worst years in It's ath- letic history just completed, the Navy looks to ie37.38 as marking the beginning of an era of the greatest possibilities In sports.
 The last two classes which have entered have been large and full of athletic material along nearly every line, though only the present second class has shown its mettlc in varsity competition. The class which is being formed this summer looks as if 1t would be of the same kind.
 By the fall of lO37. therefore, Navy varsity athletics will have tho services of tho members of three classes rcpiete with material along nearly every line, and the Navy, If ever, must reach higher standards all along tho line.
 To Start Drive Early
 By no means will those ip cnargp of Navy sports wait until the next year arrives in order to drive ahead, but the new influx of youths of athletic possibilities ct the academy will not come to 6 climax until next year, when the members of the last three classes to enter will be available for varsity teams.
 Many sports ct the Naval Acad- emy, including rowing, lacrosse, boxing, wrestling and others, have suffered of late years because of the scarcity of candidates of the right physical type. The situation will be much better next season, with the members of the two large classes which entered last year and the year before available.
 Members of the present second class, who entered during the sum. mer of 1884, are now at the acad- emy. They are active in such lines of sport as baseball, lacrosse, track, rowing, swimming, water polo, ten- his and gymnastics, and will take up some informal football e little later. They are likely to furnish the backbone of most of the teams next year.
 An eleven of considerable strength could be, picked from the members of this class alone. Tn 1t are such players as backs, Frank Case, Bob Antrim, Bill Ingram, Jack Dalton Cy Enrich, Alan Mcfarland, Bols ton Rankin, Maurice Rindskopt Charley Reimann and Charley Sooy; ends, Irwin Fife, Vincent Soballe. Heber Player, Dick Samp. son, Asbury Coward; tackles Frank Lynch, Dave Sloan; guardA Ray Du Bois, Dick Gunderson, Al. phonse Mienville: center, Jim An. drews.

NEW HAVEN BOY DODGERS
 UPSET PIRATES
Eddie Wilson Proves Spark Plug in OutfieId;
 Cost Few Hundred
BY RRANK MURPHY

United Press Stan COrrespondent)
 New York, Jpuly 20. (UP)-With no place to 60 and nothing to worry about but next years salaries, the Brooklyn Dodgers are raising cain in the National league cellar.
 The Dodgers' pitching stah, which at the start of the season looked as strong on paper as any in the cir- cult, seems finally to have hit it's stride. Coupled with timely hitting, it has given Brooklyn 10 victories in IS starts compared with Chicag0'g 11-4 record and New York 0.6 per- formance over the same stretch.
 The Brooklyn victories haven't been scored against soft teams, either. Five were registered over the Pittsburgh Pirates, two each over the Cubs and Cardinals, and one over the Cincinnati Reds.
 Brooklyn pitchers held opponents to an average of 7.6 hits per game in the IS contests, as Brooklyn bat- tefs touched rival pitchers for 0.7 safeties per contest to provide the winning edge.
 JelHcoat Comes Through
 Southpaw Watson Clark twirled three victories and Van Lingle Mungo and George Jencoat two apiece.
 Other bright spots in Brooklyn's improvement are the continued ale around effectiveness of first base. man Buddy HaSgett, Joe Stripp'S work at third base, and discovery of Q spark plug in rookie outflelder Eddie Wilson, c New Haven, Conn, boy plucked from the minors for a few hundred dollars.
 Third Brooklyn hiirler in row to go the full nine innings and win, Fred Frankhouse allowed only seven hits as the Dodgers defeated Pitts burgh, 6-3, yesterday.
 PhiIlies Rained Out
 It was the only game in the Na- tional league, New York; Cincinnati and Chicago. .Philadelphia being raitied out and BoSton.St. Louis having the day of.
 Detroit defeated the league-iead- ing New York Yankees, 0.1, in the American league as Schoolboy Rowe won his l1th game of the season. Rowe held the Yankees to i've hits and drove in four runs with home run and single. Philadelphia de- feated Chicago, 16-8, the defeat dropping the White Eox to sixth place, half Q game behind Washing ton whose game with Cleveland was rained out. St. Louis defeated Bos- k0n. 7s6.

Purcell stated the Hill diamond is idle every Sunday now. that the Public Parks league do not use 1t and figured that many fans from that section would rather walk to that diamond than to Hamilton Park to see "The Battle of the Hill" League officials, however, were afraid the income would not bene- fit their moving the game.
 Dlcker With Marines
 The circuit officials gre nego- tiating with the Quantico Marines of Virginia, rated one of the best teams in the country, for a Sunday game here in the near future. one of the features of the Marines is the fact they use airplanes on their road trips.
 Bob Kiersted, representing the Recreations, asked permission to use Patty Slattery, former Hopeville catcher, next Sunday informing President Harry Cashin that he thought he would be eligible as the third round has not started as they still have postponed game with the Hills to be played.
 However, the president informed KierSted that the third round has started, despite that postponed game, as officials of the league have the power to hold of 8 postponed game until they see it to play 1t. So, according to that, Slattery will be ineligible to play.
 Sundays Schedule
 The Brooklyns and Recreations will meet in the o'clock game at Hamilton Park next Sunday with Joe Strokalaitis opposing Frankie Edmonds. In the 2 o'clock games the Tribes will meet the Hills on diamond number one and the Tom mics will engage the Hearts on the second diamond.
