Today's Sport
 Parade

tack on Senor Gomezs alleged de- liveries? None other than AloySius Szymanski, a gentleman who, iIn- mediately on learning that his par ents had christened him that, has, tened to the courts of the land ana had it changed to Al Simmons. Clark Griffith, Washington owner, bought Simmons from the Detroits for $l5,0OO, and he's the biggest bargain since Alaska. Al, his foot still in the bucket, punched out home run and two singles in five times up.
 Waching' Simmons get his three for-five, brought back the memory of hot September day in Chicago, two years ago. Al was getting the second highest salary in baseball from the White Sox then, and still wore a dazzling purchase price. But he was miserable gent. His batting average was down in the .250 neighborhood, and along with everybody else he knew he was the biggest flop of the 1885 season.
 He could talk of nothing but his batting slump.
 "It's nightmare" he said. I've had advice from every player on the team. I've consulted every catcher in the league. They all cf- fered different suggestions, and as a result I'm jumping around that plate like jackrabbit. I've even watched movies of myself batting in 1927, when I hit 1892 for the Ath- letics. But nothing seems to help. I'm telling you that unless I hit 1925 next year I'm going to quit baseball"
 The Sox sold him to Detroit for $75,000-and Al, in 143 games batted .327. For some reason the report is that club dissention was behind 1t all-the Tigers let him go to Washington for song
 and not very elegant song, at that. And now he's happy. In addition to his hitting, he's field ing just as brilliantly as he did when he was with the Athletics and was the best outfielder in either league. He still does that silly little jig while waiting for Q ball to drop into his arms. Twice yesterday he came tearing in to handle balls that seemed sure hits.
 Simmons had able support from his mates yesterday, especially Thin Man" Shanty Hogan. Down to a stream lined 230, Hogan seems ready for great year. He made, q bare-handed catch of foul off the netting yesterday that was a beauty. And he handled Monte Weaver per- fectly. After all, you don't catch five years for McGraw without learning something.
 I'm telling you, boys, those men from Washington are a clnch.

GROUP OF 2O TO
 BACK } YEAR FINANCIAL PLAN
Bid of $2I,SOO to Be Given in Superior Court Fri-
 day; Repairs Set
BY JOHN A CLUNEY

Despite the toughest fight for its existence that any organization ever had to face, the Mattatuck Golf Club will, in all probability operate this season as it has for the past several years, making :. last and fi- nal bid to stay on its financial feet for the next three years, satisfy its creditors and continue club that began its existence more than ten years ago.
 To Bid $2l,5OO
 Latest developments in the situa- tion involving the club came about at a meeting of directors and stock holders last night, corporarS guard of which was present despite urgent notices sent to nearly 300 individuals. Specifically, those pres ent voted to empower the officers of the club, through counsel, Attor- ney Herman J. Weisman, to present a bid of $21, 500 to Judge Patrick B. O'Sullivan in Superior Court Fri day morning with the approval C. the State Banking Commission, re ceiver for the defunct Merchants Trust Company already in hand. It is generally believed that the court will approve the financial bid of the club to secure its own property and continue operating, which plan calls for a down payment of $6,500 cash, 8 $7,0O0 mortgage and regular payments during the next three years calculated to wipe out the en- tire indebtedness of the club amounting to some $30,000.
 Investors
 The bid of $21, 500 will be backed by 28 individuals who have or will agree to invest $500 each in the MattatNck Golf club thereby assur- ing its operation, each person to put up $250 cash and dues at the rate of $83 year for three years. This fund would allow certain im- provements to be made, including renovation of the locker room and shower baths at the club, some needed work on the course, though little or no attention will be given the clubhouse which is about be- yond repair, anyway.
 Pending approval of the court on Friday, the club will begin operation immediately under proper supervi- sion, and repair work to be started at the same time, with dues of about $50 year to be charged and the club put in as attractive shape as possible under those conditions. Complete confidence that the club will be able to get "out of the woods" was voiced by the officers. with the feeling also expressed that the current season will be one ot the biggest and best in many years for all golfing organizations.
 The handful of men who have tried to keep the club above water for two years are shooting the works" for the last time. If they miss inside of three years, what was once 8 fine golf course, will be re- duced or elevated to 8 flock of building lots.

New York, April 21s-CUP)-Boy, you better get on those Washing tom Senators of mine while the gctting's good, because it looks like a breeze for 'em from her on in.
 I don't see how they can miss. With only l52 more games to go it's c cinch. They knocked off the Yankees yesterday and would be leading tho league today if they hadn't made a gesture toward old man AGack,s age and semi-pros in the opener, and dropped a courtesy one to the Athletics.
 If the Tanks are world cham pions-and they had 8 mail order pennant saying they were floating from the centerfield mast-then tho Washingtons have a right to sue them for taking glory under false pretenses.

Werber WObbly
 In First Shot
 Against Ex-Mates|

 Boston, April 21-(UP)-Letting the sports chips fall where they may:
 On the basis of opening-day re- turns, it appears that the Red Sox got the better of the mid-winter deal that sent pugnacious Willie Werber to the Philadelphia Ath- letics in exchange for the mild hammered Pinky Higgins.
 One game doesn't make 8 season, but Werber, who had been quoted as saying he would get back at the Sox for shipping him down the river, wasn't SO hot against his for mer mates yesterday. He got only one single in five trips to the plate and booted 8 couple in the field. :. Higgins, on the other hand, cracked out a double and pair of singles that drove in three runs and committed one error afleld.
 Before he was cut loose by the Sc1, Werber got himself the repu- tation of being a trouble-maker on thS club. Two years ago, he hauled off and socked First Base man Babe Dahlgren, now property of the New York Yankees, at Fen wNy park. And it's just been disclosed that year ago at Phila- dclphia, Wild Willie and Pitcher Yves Terrell had a fiStic flareup on the Sox bench. All of which would seem to indicate 1t is best for all concerned that Werber is no longer in the Sox fold.
 When Vince DiMaggio failed to connect in five trips to the plate in the exhibition game against Holy Cross yesterday, it was the first time the Bees rookie outfielder had gone hitless in 16 games. The veteran Buck Jordan, who is play ing second fiddle to the Bees fresh man first sacker, Elbie Fletcher, is still pretty popular with the fans even though he doesn't rate so well with his bosses
 Marathon post-mortem: Was 1t chicken sandwich or too much fam fly interference that licked the fa- vorite Johnny Kelley in the Patriots day classic?
 Race officials and newsmen who followed Johnny along the 26-mile- 385-yard route from Hopkinton to Boston claim that energy producing pills fed Kelley by his brothers brought on the nausea that caused the favorite's downfall in the home stretch. Johnny himself insists it was 8 chicken sandwich he had Q half hour before the race that caused all the trouble. Maybe 1t was simply that Walter Young, the winner, was the better man that day. You never can tell.

 Naugatuck, April q. - The Nau- gatuck Golf Club is in for its big gest season this summer, according to present indications. The club has increased its membership, Ed die Burke, pro at the local club, is planning profeSSional-amateur tourney here during the summer in additional to the regular tourna- ments held each year, and there are a number of improvements in the course with more to come, it was learned today.
 Two new greens have been built, replacing old ones. These are on the third and sixth holes. The fairways are in the best condition they ever have been, work on them having been done under the super vision of Frank L. Bradbury, who returned several weeks ago from California to oversee this work.
 In Fine Shape
 A mild winter resulted in less damage by Mother Nature to the course than usual, and the entire course now seems to be in prac- tically perfect shape. The season will officially open Saturday.
 About 25 new members have been added and interest in the sport is continuing to grow here. The greens are expected to be completed by June 21. Work on the new club house for the course will start soon, and this is expected to be completed by the fourth of July. The course itself will be altered when the club house is erected, with the No. hole being located nearer to the new clubhouse.
 New Tennis Courts
 Three new tennis courts will be added to the tennis members of the club. The foundation for them has been ready some time. They will be near the new structure.
 MT. Burke said that he hopes to get some of the best golfers in the state to participate in the pro- amateur tourney he is planning.
 Many employees of the U. s. Rub- Der Products, Inc, plant here are golf enthusiasts, MT. Burke, who gives daily lessons to members who wish to improve their game, said. Permission has been given members of the Naugatuck High school golf team to practice probably once a week on the local links, and 1t is expected their home matches will be played on the Golf club links, as they were last year.
 Membership High
 The membership of the local club is very high as compared to the population of the town. Many are attracted to 1t by the comparatively low yearly fees. Mir. Burke said. There are about 2J Waterburians who are members of the club.
 The annual cost for membership to the Golf Club is $24 plus a $5 initiation fee for new local members.

and $24 annually, plus a $24 initia- ton fee, for new members who do not reside here. Tennis club mem bership is $7.50 a year. Henry Cie- slewski, former town tennis cham pion, this year heads the tennis committee of the club and a boom in tennis activities there is ex- pected.
 Non-members can play golf for $l per day on weekdays, but on Sat- urdays, Sundays and holidays, the fee is $15O. The ennis fee for non- members is 50 per day.
 Saturday is probably the most popular day in the week, MT. Burke said, more than 100 waiting after lunch to tee off. So many like to play on Saturday, it may be nee. essary to arrange starting times, he added.
 When the new clubhouse is com pleted, 1t is expected the local course will rank as one of the best nine- hole courses in the state.
 NAVhV ONhNVA1O A AeShAANN
 Plans for next year call for in- stallation of more greens until all the greens have been replaced by new ones. This procedure will take quite a long time, of course, as the work is. quite costly.
 If you want to determine whether that indoor practice you had during the winter helped correct any of your errors, you should get there early Saturday, for many are ex- pected to turn out for the opening.
 The Naugatuck High school base ball nine started its season auspic- iously by trouncing the Seymour high team at Recreation field here yesterday, 1O-3. The Garnet got off to an early lead, pushing two runs across the plate in the first inning, and scored two more in each of the second, third and fourth in- nings. They addsd two more in the sixth.
 Seymour tailed twice in the sec ond and once n the seventh. Coach Peter J. Foley tried out three local pitchers, Mariana, Shea and Began, all of whom did well. GarbowsN was the best pitcher for Seymour, allow ing only two hits and flaming seven.
 Tuohy and Farrer rapped out triples for Naugatuck and Tuohy, Butler and Anderson connected for doubles for the Garnet. The locals got 12 hits to three for Seymour.

Reunited Veterans
Separated by Death

Raleigh, May l9.-(UP)-A
friendship that began at Old
Trinity College, survived the War
between The States and lasted
through the Old Soldiers Home
here was completely dissolved this
week.
Roscoe w. wilkins, 81. Confed-
crate veteran, died at the home,
leaving only seven old warriors
out of more than 200 there in
previous years.
wilkins, who entered the home
in April, 1915, went to Trinity,
now Duke University, met Thomas
Powell there. The two became
firm friends, enlisted in Company
! of Southerland's Battery, Serv-
ed side by side through The war.
After the conflict ended, they
became separated.
But in 1920 a veteran came to
the home and was introduced to
Wilkins as his roommate.
It was Thomas Powell.
They had not seen each other
since the war ended. Powell has
been dead several years.
