Mechanically Gifted Lads From France Served
 SCOviII's for Years
BY THE OUT LASTED

BY THE OUT EASTER
 The Scovill Mfg. company must have been a small institution when the late Adrian Wolff en- tered it for the first time in 1865. MT. Wolff died last week, as you will remembe-. None of us can
 compare the plant today to what it was then, but there are some of US out here, who can look back many years and recall what it was
 in those days.
 Mir. Wolff's death made us think of this. While Out East hardly knew Adrian Wolff, there were few of us who didn't know his two fine brothers, Lucien, and AL fred J., the latter best known from the time he explained old company G of the former Second regifent. Lucien and the captain were among the first persons to build their homes in Laurel street. Adrian always lived in another part of the city. The three brothers came from France years ago. All were of a mechanical frame of mind, and eventually associated themselves with the Scovill company. The boy of 50 years ago out here really believed the Wolffs owned and operated the Scovill company. The Gosses, the Hydes, the Scovills, the Sper- rvs, and the DeMotts may have been the "big guns" of the good old factory, but those of us in our tender years had never heard of them. The name Wolff stood out more prominent among the people here than did any of those mentioned above. If a more loyal trio to their employers ever ex- isted, we have never heard of them. The old time family of the East End was made up of factory workers. We all had to go to work young, some before we had entered the 8th grade of the pulp lie schools. Scovills, to many of us, was our first place of employ ment. We ran errands there through the effort of the Wolff clan; we went from this job to the "tool crib," where for the first time we learned there was never such tool as "the left-handed monkey wrench" Our apprentice ship then started in the mechani- cal department, under the tutor age of the Wolff family. How kind and considerate they were to our feelings can best be judged by our sincere admiration and friendship for these men during those many years. Their disposi- tion was to help and guide us in the work which we eventually grasped, and have followed ever since. And they never forgot us; we'd meet them at the various family gatherings of the Scovill employees; there we would talk over happenings of younger days, and pleasant memories of time

More than 100 couples last night attended the annual reception held in honor of the prize winners of the "45" tournament which has been one of the most important activities of the society held during the past several months. The principal talks of the evening were delivered by Rev. John Conlali, pastor, Rev. J. Oliver Crenall, and Rev. Peter Daly, spirit Iial advisor. James J. Carr, chair man of the tournament officiated as toastrnaster, and during the sup- per, the daughters of several of the tourney contestants assisted as wait. reSEeS.
 The team explained by Henry Smithwick was awarded the cham pionship for the season, while other distributions were received by Ber- nard Erwin, who was judged the most valuable player; John O'Rourke, the most consistent in attendance; James Kilbride, the quietest player, while Luke Bowling and Timothy Quill shared honors as being the noisiest men who cora- peted. The grand march of the evening was lead by Mir. and Mrs. James J. Carr, and the presenta- tions were made by Father Daly.
 Included on the committee in charge were, Captains Henry Smith, wick, Richard Baldwin, Patrick Flaherty, Clifford Cotter, John Dee- ley and Fred McDermott.

that was most dear to all of us concerned.
 We were from Out East, and the Wolffs had seen us toddle along Wall street in our teens; and they never forgot us when the time arrived for giving us a lift. Hundreds of us out here were helped along this way, not that any favoritism was played,
 on the contrary, you had to know your stuff, and do the right thing to gain and hold the friend- ship of these exceptional gentle- men, and experienced and recog. nized mechanics.
 The passing of Adrian also rec wives in our mind the names of some of the Tod time foremer, such as Joe Munger, Ed Lines, Fred Stanley, Wm. Ashley the kindly Deacon Shipley, Frank Parsons, Geo. Tonkins, John Moran, Billy Watkins, Bob Bar- Der and Jimmy Quinn, boss of the soldering room. And who of us employed there years ago will ever forget the well groomed Jack Lines, superintendent of the fac- tory. We can almost see our- selves now presenting our num- Der to Will Strubel, for being late. Bill had worked in the plant from hoyhoed, and knew practically every employe of the place.
 To you, newcomers out here, let us inform you that years ago, the Scovill buildings stopped on Mill street at point opposite the southeast corner of St. Mary's school grounds. At this point, there was a passway, which led easterly to the south end of the then Hayden street. This was
 short cut to everybody who had business on Mill street, and who lived in the east end. Hayden street was then full of homes, on either side, the Washes, the Lawlors, the Gagains, the How ards, and others. The Lunnys owned two houses on the east side, and the one on the northwest

corner. From that point easterly to old Dublin street were the Dunworths, the Agnews, the Corrs, the Friends, the Cullanes, the Rushes, the O'Connells, and the Kelleys and CunninghaInS, with the Coughlins on Dublin street, just around from East Main street. Back from the sidewalk on Dub- lin street lived the Storys. The Scoville company didn't have a factory south of the Mad river or east of Dublin street in those days.
 But keen business men like the Gosses, and others of this famous and much beloved institution, made it what it is today, greatly to our joy and betterment, and the interests of Waterbury, and it's hundred years or more with the same success that has followed the reign of the far seeing Goss family.

Is
First Downs
Per Game
PASSING GOOD

The Washington Redskins, who
leave for a protracted tour of the
National Football League, rank
well among the leaders in all de.
partments of the game. They
lead the league in first downs,
and if the Warner proposal of
awarding one point for each first
down were adopted in the pro
game. the Redskins would be sit
ting on top of the world.
In five games thus far, the Red
skins have made IS first downs,
an average of 13 per game. The
Green Bay Packers with SO first
downs crowd the Redskins for
honors in this department, and
the Chicago Cardinals and the
Pittsburgh team are tied for third
honors with 81 first downs.
The Redskins are well up among
the leaders in forward passing,
which is not at all surprising in
view of the fact that Sam Baugh,
Riley Smith, Cliff Battles and
Dixie Howell are on the squad.
Out of 119 forward passes at
tempted, the Redskins completed
81, a percentage of Asa. Five of
the nine touchdownS made by the
Redskins this year we're made on
passes, and one was a result of an
interception, Riley Smith running
some So yards against the Giants.
The Chicago Cardinals are the
leading ground gamers of the
league. They have ground out
1902 yards by all methods. The
Green Bay Packers are second
with 1,463, and then we come to
the Pittsburgh team. The Red
skins, with 1900 yards gained,
rank fourth.
The defense of the Redskins is
not as potent as their attack. This
pertains especially to their de
fense against forward passes. The
opposing teams have attempted 81
aerial thrusts against the Red,
skins, and % of these were sue.
cessful. This is a percentage of
.459, as compared to the Redskins
own average of asa in completed
passes.
The local warriors surrendered
1907 yards of terrain in five
games, an average of more than
200 yards per game. They gained
SO yards more than they gave
over.
