Two threats to their lofty perch
are in evidence. One is the near
ness of Victory Post, which has
won its only game, while the Stars
have a record of two wins and no
losses, and the other obstacle is
a protest by Sogimas, last years
champion, which bowed to the
leaders, ga. Sogimas claim they
were forced to play against two
ineligible men. A meeting to iron
out this difficulty will be held
shortly.
Games tomorrow will bring Scgi-
mas against Victory Post at 7:15
o'clock and Community All-Stars
against Y. M. C. A. at $50. The
latter team is the only one which
has yet to see action.
LIVED UP TO AME
In scaling the heights the Com
munity All-Stars have lived ur to
their name in so far as pitching
and slugging is concerned. In Ed
Todryk they feature one Of the
most improved hurlers in town,
one who is brilliantly consistent.
He let Treasury down with four
hits, striking out seven, and came
back against SogimaS with a seven
hit game.
In their first game, the All-stars
collected 80 hits, led by Bud 81
monds, Obie O'Brien and big
Bill" Edwards each Of whom
smacked out six hits while Todryk
collected five. Simonds repeated
in the other game with four fo1
four.
Victory Post, which has played
only one game, displayed a steady
veteran team which has the oldest
infieId in the league In Baron
Baronowski, Morris Bealle
Dutch" Axt and "Tots" Long
whose average age is AZ. Young
Harold Steffes gives them great
strength in the box.
Bureau of Standards gave Vic
The Washington times., 1937-11-01

tory Post good fight before bow
ing, 6-3. Voigt, their pitcher, gave
the better known SteffeS a real
battle in that game, allowing the
Legionnaires only six hits. His next
effort was not quite so good but
since his mates pounded across %
runs against Treasury, the seven
he allowed did no damage. Others
who look good are Benzing, Diller,
Eiseman, johnson, Somers and
Gibson.
CLASSIEST INFIELD
Sogimas, the youngest team,
possesses what looks like the classi-
est infield in George Lassise,
Mario Greggorio, Pap" Panago
and Buddy Nau. Aquilino, their
catcher, is another smooth worker.
Treasury, which took an awful
beating in it's two starts, is a team
which figures to improve as the
season wears on. Indoor ball is
new to the "money-men" and they
showed it when they bowed to
Community Stars, 30-1. Against
Standards, however, they suddenly
braced and despite the score,
23-7, they really made a battle
of it until the last inning then
they blew up with a bang as II
runs scored.
Treasury has been handicapped
somewhat by the soft pitching of
10 Greenberg. which was ineffec-
tive indoors because the flies he
was making the batters hit floated
into the short leftfield stands in
stead of in the hands Of the field
ers, who might have had them
could they have gone back just a
few more steps. The addition of
Orv Shanks has been Of no help
yet, his offerings being slammed
back faster than they came up,
but such pitching ability as he is
known to possess is bound to pay
dividends before long. King,
Perry, Byrne and Christopherson
are the present standouts.

soccer games resulted much as
anticipated, Sun Radio defeating
Italian-Americans at Rosedale

scraping through against Young
Democrats at Shady Oak, 80, to
retain their lead, and Marlboro ac-
counting for Maryland Park Mar
ket 81, in an abbreviated set-to.
AS in their game with Heurich'S,
the Italians took an early lead.
Sperti sending an easy shot into
Dore which the goalkeeper allowed
to go through his legs. and the
visitors led by that margin at the
interval.
Soon after resumption, the
league champions equalized in
much the same manner, G. Vec-
chietti misjudging a shot from
Hook.
PUTS TEAM AHEAD
From a scrimmage in front OF
goal. Boggs put his team ahead.
and thereafter the italians were
seldom over the center-field line.
One breakaway by Mike Avon and
a nice pass to Bruzzese put the
latter in scoring position. but off
side nullified the advantage. In
clearing from Bolts, the Italian
goelkeeper stopped the ball but, in
attempting to clear, he stepped
back over the goal-line, giving Sun
Radio a two-goal lead, and this
was increased in the closing min
ntes by E. Guntow. who slipped
through the backs and scored
from close in.
McBAIN SAVES DAY
Heurich's were hard-pressed for
a time by the Democrats, but
spectacular shooting by Roy NC
Balm saved the day-and the
points. The winners appear to
have much good material at their
command. and Will undoubtedly be
stronger when the players are
more familiar with each others
style of play. The Democrats are
fast welding together a strong
fast team which may upset the
dore in future games.

In Training? WPA Sends Men to Athletic Project to Train" for
 Steady Work.

Three former members of the Waterbury Traffic Survey project who might well be alluded to as the last of the Mohicans, have been assigned to the athletic field project, it was learned by The Democrat oday.
 In the meantime new project for these men is supposed to be "in the works" and awaiting ap- proval. The funds for the traf- fife survey setup were exhausted about two weeks ago and since that time two O fthe women were assigned to the local WPA sew ing project. One man, it is un- derstood, found private employ ment, and the others have just been notified of temporary as- signment to the athletic field job where the men are busy erecting the new wire fence and installing the new sprinkling system.
 The new project which has been written up calls for the establish ment of new sct-up of files at the local detective bureau. At the present time there doesn't seem to be anyone in Waterbury who vii state just how long it vii take for this project to be approved. If it is ever approved!
