OLD TIMERS AND. CHOPPERS CLASH.
Important Interclub Game at Boys Club Tonight;
 Two Officials Work

To-nights games are the final games of the first round, and 1t is still an even toss-up as to the out- come of the big battle.
 Starters
 Joe Mobile has announced his lineup for the Old Timers, and it will find Donate ct center, Mobile and Peceintino at forward, while in the rear court Menturek and Minor will take care of the score. For the Crofters, John Griffin will do the center tapping, Howic Loughlin and Mickey Champagne at forward, and in the rear Dick Midway and Joe Tavano.

 Miami, Fla, Jan. l0-(UP)-He actually works little more than a second a day and he has two men to help him.
 Thousands damn him every day and thousands sing his praises.
 Each of his decisions, and he makes half Q dozen or more Q day, make thousands of dollars for some, and takes thousands of dollars from others.
 He is a race horse judge.
 when the thoroughbreds pound over the finish line, muzzle to muzzle, neck to neck, and thousands wonder who won, he must knowg, for he puts the numbers up, and they pay of on the numbers.
 We watched him work yesterday in his little pagoda sort of house. pitched hard on the finish line at Tropical park. Rather we watched them work, for calling the shots in q horse race is task where three sets of eyes are better than one.
 The Tropical park judges-Shea, O'Brien and Galliger-work from what is really little front porch on the judges house. At the front of the porch are three small steps, and when the horses went to the post (we watched the fourth race) the three lined up on the steps like -Galliger on the bottom, O'Brien behind him, and Shea on the to pstep. Splitting the porch ver- tically, and in perfect line with the black stripe on the finish pole across the track, was a steel rod.
 Line these markers up-the rod and the stripe-and you have the imaginary finish line. We tried it as the horses pranced at the starting gate.
 Don't shuut one eye" cautioned Galliger as we sighted as though looking down a gun barrel. That's fatal Us a twO-eye job. If you'll try one eye, then the other. you'll And that you don't get the same re- eult."

rod, and the left eye moved 1t a foot to the left.
 "And that difference would be a length in 0 race" Galliger said. T remember the classic example of a judge sighting with one eye. The judge was Tony Wallace, and the race the match one at Louisville be- tween Zev and In Memoriam. was a hell of 8 finish and Tony voted for Zev. There was Q devil of ruckus over the decision and when they asked Tony about 1t he said he couldn't be wrong for he had drawn perfect bead with one eye. I re- member the Louisville writers made a lot of Tony's remark, and pointed out that as the track was paying for two-eyed judges, Tony should get but half pay"
 The field had hit the head of the stretch now, and the judges forgot us in their work. No Broadway col- umnist ever peeped more intently through @ keyhole than they did across the finish line. Fifty yards from home and three horses were running SO close together topcoat would have covered them. We tried to pick out the flying silks. the hy- ing numbers-anything to identify them. But in the second we tried to think, they were down smack in front of us, crossing the payoff line.
 We still were trying to figure out the winner when Galliger, Shea and O'Brien turned around and, compar- ing the three numbers they had scrubbed across the top of their pro- grams, found their results the same:
 Laughing Sun. first; Great Haste, second; and Bellum, third.
 It was a nose to nose finish but the three wise men with the camera eyes had caught 1t as quickly and apparently as easily as though lengths separated the laundering thoroughbreds.
 GalIiger greeted our marveling with laugh.
 Huh, that was an easy one. Stick around and we'll show you some really close ones"

QUINN PAINTS
 ROSY PICTURE FOR NEW YEAR
Lopez, CucineIlO Will Be Great Aid to Boston
 Braves
BY FRANK MURPHY United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

NOmbtCW EEGoD OsNsA OVAbUDPVhAAsSAAO
 Boston, January 10 = (UP) = President Bob Quinn is confident that the reorganized Boston Braves are off to a good start in their at- tempts to climb out of the National League cellar.
 Acquisition of Catcher Al Lopez from the Brooklyn Dodgers was ten strike in the Braves rebuilding campaign, in Quinn's opinion. He feels that the Boston clubs pitching, which until last season kept it up around fourth or fifth place, will show marked improvement with the talented Cuban behind the plate.
 Everyone seems to feel that pitch- CTS are the most important assets to club but to my mind @ smart catcher is the big man in any out fit," Quinn said. "CatcherS like Lopez are standouts. Cosey Stengel had Al as captain of the Dodgers for two seasons, and Casey is no- body's fool. I think Lopez can do wonders for developing our medio- ere pitching staff"
 Worth While
 The Braves had to give tip South paw Ed Brandt in the deal that brought Lopez to Boston, but in re- turn the Braves acquired the vet eran, Ray Benge, to help out Fred Frankhouse and Ben Cantwell, two firstclass hurlers, Bob Smith, Huck Belts, Danny MacFayden and Bobby Refs, Q converted infielder also ob- tained from the Brooklyn Club.
 Quinn was almost as enthusiastic over the acquisition of the veteran inflelder, Tony Cuccinello, who also comes to the Braves as result of the swap with Brooklyn. i've seen Cuccinello drive balls over that left field wall at Braves field plenty of times," interrupted Johnny O'Leary, one of the Braves secretaries.
 Promising
 Cuccinello should add batting punch and defensive strength to an infield roster hat includes Buck Jordan, Bill Urbanski, Pinkey Whit ney and the rockies, Elzbie Fletcher Joe Coscarart and Bill McCee. Tn the outfleld the Braves have Waffle Berger, who led the league in home runs and runs batted in a year ago Hal Lee, Tommy Thompson, Joe Mowry and Ralph Tyler. Several clubs have bid for Berger and Pit cher Farmhouse, but Quinn has in- dicated that 1t would take an offer of three good players for either star to even interest him.
 Fans participating in the quest for new nickname to supplant the jinxed Braves" have sent three bar rels of letters to date and they're still arriving in heaps. The christ ening will occur February l.

|LEAVENWORTH TO MEET GILBERT
 SQUAD TONIGHT
Game Tonight at Wilby Gym Will Be Big Test
 For Teachers

Coach Jack Rieger's Leavenworth lads swing into action tonight at 8:30 o'clock when they collide with the strong Gilbert crew at the Grove street gymnasium. The tus- sle will mark the first of Q home to home series between Leaven- worth and the Winsted quintet. The Teachers are out to hold their winning spree, which began last week, when they were matched with Watertown, and continued last Tuesday night when the local crew registered a major upset in downing West Haven by Q S4-29 score. However, Coach Atwood's Winsted high warriors are reported having last seasons veterans in their lineup, a fact which will cause a great deal of watching by last seasons western c9nnecticut champions.
 Coach Rieger's crew are expect ed to use the following lineup: Evans and Turcutte at forwards; McNamara and Lubinskas at guards and Vaitkevick or Wood at center. Such players at Rukowski, Siemiatkoski, Tunnel, and Bannon will be in reserve.
 A preliminary game between the Junior Varsity teams of the two schools will be played at 7:30 o'clock.
 Last year the Leavenworth and Gilbert teams split their home and home series. Tonight's probable starters:
