ball games for this week.
II one can take q chance on the
dope, the arrows point to Eastern

and chiefly because Of the pitch
ing strength Of the Parkers and

Eastern will, no doubt, shove
Lefty Stockwell into action against

It will not be long now before
Stockwell and Bortz face each
other . then it will settle in
many series followers min ds
which is the better hurler.
And while we're on that subject.
two Of Western Highs hurlers
must be figured. Toby Bright,
left-hander, looked especially good
in downing Central during t h e
first week Of the series. while
Bob Rafferty,, handsome righ t.
handler, pitched quite steadily
against Roosevelt last week. ).
either or both of these boys will
be facing Stockwell and Bortz
soon. and then again will come
the chance for comparisons.
There are several good catchers
in the series. incidentally. :.
at Western, Johnny AlfoginiS

and q steady receiver.
Barbee at Wilson

Buck Barbee, probably the smooth.

are Bernie Askin, at Central;
Jimmy Wise, at Tech: Wesley Tay-
lor, at Eastern, and Bud Maxwell,
at Roosevelt. Wise won all-high
honors last year.
And getting to the inner and
outer gardens. two western
High players come UP again for
attention. .one is Jim Middleton,
center fielder, one of the s,lrest
outfielders of the series in regard

the other Is Addie Lawyer,

Beauty Spots! Waterbury Gard c n Club Urges Cooper ation in Beautifying Homes, Community.

Members and friends Of the Waterbury Garden club have re- ceived a rather unique letter set- ting forth the aims of the organ- ization and soliciting their COG operation to make homes and yards beauty spots-and Water" bury e better place in which to live. The appeal reads as follows
 Man is light. A famous scien' tist compares man to an electric light. The mysterious life force IS an electric current which flows through man and Eliminates him. This brings to mind the fact that our real disposition and char acter shines out in the work that we do.
 If on individual likes pretty things, he works along those lines and If he doesn't he digs into the garbage can as referred to by Dr. Walker in his Sunday sermon
 Let us get together and try to build up our community. We live in the finest country and l believe we have the best state In the Union. Waterbury is one of the finest cities. Let us help beautify 1t by showing our desires for bet" ter things. This can be done by joining tho Waterbury Garden Club. Their aims are to help make Waterbury q better place to live in. They also make efforts to clean up our highways and ugly spots in the community.
 "Join the Garden Club and make your yard and home q beauty spot, Make 1t a place where you like to go and other people ike to come. This thing is really con: tagious. Did you ever think and notice that when some neighbor begins to clean up his front lawn, how quickly the rest Of them gct busy and try to keep up the ap- pearance of their reighbor.
 Tt is & good way to spread happiness and kindliness and aft- CT nil, in this life the only things that we get real pleasure out or is in our efforts to better condi. tons and make somebody else happy.
 "This light that I speak of radi- atcs happiness, courage. faith, hope, love and service that cre- atcs c broad brilliant pathway in which we may triumphantly peiie. trate the darkness that surrounds.
 "The Waterbury Garden Club is doing a great work. Let us all join in and give them some help. Their dues are only Si.00 per year. Every home owner in Waterbury should belong. It makes you @ bet- ter neighbor and after all, 1t is our neighbors that make Us a suc- cess or a failure.
 "Our next meeting will be held at the Bunker Hill church Mon- day. January 10, at 8 p. m. Come, and bring any friends who are interested"
