5 CLIPS HILLIES
 BY ONE POINT
Free Throw Decides Hoop Thriller 25.24-Teamls
 Meet Again

Trailing by eight ponts with four minutes remaining to play the Raymond HiIlies made a great comeback last night but the game ended before they could tie the score and as result the Ccmmul1- ity club team won the first game of the playoff series by score of 25 to 24 in the most exciting game ever played on the hill court. A foul shot by Red Vallone proved to be the winning margin for the defending champs as both teams scored nine field goals and the win- ners registered seven free throws against six for the Doughboys.
 Hillies Score First
 The Hillies started off strong but some spectacular long shooting ny John Kelly kept the winners in the game at all times and at half time the losers were out in front by three points the scoreboard reading Hillies 13, Community club 10. In. the third period the win ners checked the Hillies and at the conclusion of the third period moved out in front by a point. Just after the last period got underway the Kellymen scored seven points while holding their opponents scoreless and with four minutes left to play the Hillies called time out. When play was resumed they put on the greatest comeback ever made on the hill floor to register four baskets in two and 8 half minutes of action but in the final minute to play missed plenty of

MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE OF 1S
 HOLES TO OPEN
Meeting of Club Associa- ton Tonight; Fair=
 ways Improved

President Bob Welch of the East Mountain Golf Association will pre- side at the regular meeting of that organization which will be held at the Chase Park House tonight. This body is planning for the biggest sea- son ever at the Municipal course and the past several weeks has found many new members joining the association.
 With 18 holes completed and ready for play, there is good reason to understand the sudden trend to join the Municipal Club. Superin- tendent of Parks James J. Curtin has been rushing activity at the course and promises that every thing will be in tip-top shape for play just as soon as the weather permits.
 Pathways o. K.
 The holes of the first nine have been renumbered in order to fit in with the new layout. Much of the rock has been eliminated, so that now the fairways are the finest in New England. As for the greens, the Municipal greens are second to none in these parts.
 The East Mountain Golf Asso- ciation is planning several special events which will be limited to It's members. Golfers desiring to join the association should get in touch with President Bob Welch, Joe Dunne, Johnny Rogers or some of the other ofIlcials or members of the club.

CHASE, BRASS BOWLING TEAMS
 IN PIN FINALE
LOuallo Holds High Aver- age to Date-NOera ys.
 IngersOll

The nnal games or the 1936- lV31 Industrial Bowling League will be rolled tonight, at the Mattatuck Alleys with the Champions Chase pinsters bowling the American Brass a match which has an important bearing on the leagues second place team, The Brass at this writing are tied with the Noera team for sec ond place and will try to beat the Chase team in order to get second place. While the Chase team have no place to go 1t is most possible that they will try to set back the Brass in order to help their CO., workers the Noera gain No. 2 place. While on the other hand the Noera team VII have to be at their best against the Ingersoll who have a very god array of alley performers, and 8 clean a sweep for the Watch makers will give them fourth place. The Waterbury Manufacturing teams will close its season with the Scovill team being their opposition, while the boys from out east will also try to gain that much sought fourth place.
 While on the subject of the Chase team winning the championship it might be of interest to many duck pin followers that the Chase bowl CTS won the championship of the last Industrial League back in 1929- 1880.
 In the Class B League the Farrel Foundry leaders wil ltake on the French team in game which should have its thrills as the Frenchs are but one game back of the Farrels as the standing shows, a two game victory tonight gives Far Tel first place proving that the Naugatuck Chemical doesn't win all three from the Plume and Atwood in that event tie will exist be- tween the Chemical and Farrels.
 The other game in Class B will show the Box team bowling the WordenS.
 Lovallo Leads
 Another point of much interest will be centered upon the individual bowling of three of the leagues Top notch performers namely Joe Loval- 10, Bill Tato of the Chase team and Schoolboy Sammy ZaZa of the Brass as all three are fighting it out for that coveted honor High Average Man. At this writing they stand as follows in the average race:
 Lovallo has an average of 122.55 for 9573 pinfall for 78 games, just 18 pins in back of Lovallo is Bill Tato with a pinfall of 9l87 for 75 games for an average of 122.37. Zaza in third place has bowled over some 6619 pins in 54 games for an average of 12231.
 A race which shows that the Dusty League featured teams roll ing up, great scores such as that 1920 high three which the Noera clan rolled against the Chase pin- sters. Then that 603 high single which the Chase team rolled Big Jack Raynor of the Chase team hold 175 high single while Dick Richmond boss of the Noera team holding high three with 449, all nice scores.
 Another point of interest is that only five weeks in the % weeks of play that high three went under the 400 mark and on many weeks more than one individual bowlers went over the 400 mark 8 score all bowlers like to hit. The leagues banquet will officially close the sea- son in the near future.

In the other fray of the evening the Brooklyn Duces stopped on early lead of the Big Five and were out in front for the greater part of the game only to falter in the closing seconds of the tilt 2l-20.
 COmites Come Through
 Ed LaCroix's "" ComiteS gave all teams and fans alike notice that their team will be the one to beat as they stopped the ambitious rush of the Meteors. Jimmy Harrison former Crosby captain and St. Thomas Seminary star and Johnny Casey lanky West Side Speedboy standout were the main cogs in the attack of the "Y" boys, but 1t took substitute Eddie Fox to pull the Comites out of certain defeat into a well-earned victory.

That regular features should
be considered unattractive is a
new one to me. 1t makes me think
of the man who went to the
Louvre in Paris and saw the
statue of The Venus de Milo.
He wrote to his wife that she
was better-looking; that the Venus
of the statue didn't have enough

I really wonder you haven't
spoken to this boy long ago. To
attend the same school and only
a grade apart constitutes an &C
quaintance.
Next time you see him you
might ask him if he's enjoying
his vacation. No such thing as set
introductions is required among
school friends.
