Glorltyimg Yourself
By ALICIA HART

It's no fun to have the job almost completed then to have to ring for 8 nurse and get her to locate your purse nd tumble around in 1t until she finds your hpstick.
 Your gift of new lipstick in 8 gay case will do more than you per- haps realize to lift the patients spirits out of post-operation dol- drums. And if she's well enough to begin to fus sabout estraggling ends, some kind of curler will please. Look for one with which ringlets can be made so easily that the nurse will be quite pleasant about lending a hand.
 If you are in a particularly gen. erous mood, you can engage good hairdresser who knows how to give a dry shampoo to go to the hospital or her home and do the convales- cents hair. Or you might send a manicurist-a manicuriSt who be- lieves in and does give the gentlest possible type of manicure. A week later, follow this up with a bottle of nail polish in the shade the in- valid chose from the manicurist's impressive array of lacquers.

 bury Saturday

Naugatuck, May 23.--Hopes of fol- lowers of the Naugatuck high school baseball nine for victory in it's game Saturday with Ansonia hgh were low going into the last half of the ninth inning for the visitors led 6-5 But suddenly they scared when Gene Czaplicki rapped out homer to tie the score. Efforts to tally again failed, and the high hopes were dashed in the next inning when three Ansonia hits mixed with an error by Czaplicki,, resulted in two runs for the visitors and ultimate victory, 8-6.
 It was the Garnet's first loss in the Naugatuck Valley league. Ansonia tailed in the second when Butcher dropped Napiers fly and Napier scored. The visitors added three more in the third and drove Mari anO to the showers. Spec Shea halted them however until the sixth when Ansonla tailed twice again. The Garnet chaiked up two in the fourth, and Czaplicki banged out q homer with a man on in the sixth to add two more for Nauga- tuck. Shea socked one for homer in the seventh put after the score was tied in the ninth, he weakened just enough to permit two runs to score. It was a thriller and had the fans on the edge of their seats throughout.

SHOFFNER GOES GREAT AS BEES
 SEASONS FIND
32.Year-Old Texan Beats Chicago Cubs in II In-
 nings Sunday
BY ROBERT WEBB
United Press Staff Corresponder

'OhIted Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Boston, May 23.-(UP)-Add Mil burn Gefty) Shoffner to the list oi veteran minor league pitchers who have made good with the Boston Bees.
 A year ago bustling Bob Quinn reached into the bush for Lou Fette and Jim Turner who both won ar even 20 games in their first season under the big tent. This year the Bees president has secured another ace in Shoffner, whose complete game record is the best of any pitcher in either league.
 The 32-year old Texan, who won IT games for Scranton before he came to Boston late in the 1937 season, has pitcher six complete games in as many starts. Only II runs have been scored against him in 55 innings which gives him a re- markedly low earned run average Turner led the league with an earned run average of 2.38 last year
 Shoffner has broken even in six starts but 1t has taken the best pitchers in the league to beat him He lost 3-2 to Carl Hubbell in the Polo grounds; Az to Hal Schu- macher at National lague field; and 40 to Paul Derrlnger in Cincin- natl. He beat St. Louis 5-2 on the road; Pittsburgh 10 in Boston last Tuesday; and Chicago 2-1 in II innings here yesterday.
 Manager Casey Stengel is high on the veteran rookie who also saved a game for Hutchinson at Pittsburgh when he struck out the final Pir- ate with the bases full and two down.
 This big feller Shoffner will be all right" said Stengel," as long as we give him plenty of work. He wouldn't have lost to Schumacher here 4-2 except that he didn't have his stuff in the opening inning when Leiber got that home run with two on."
 Shoffner is one of the Bees few good starting pitchers who can pitch one day and finish up the next. Turner. Fette and MacFayden other members of the Bees big four--can't warm up to relief chores but Shoffner is big and string and liges the job.
 All the Boston pitchers have 10 be good hitters although Shoffner ranks tops among the staff. In a recent game at Cincinnati. Derringer shut the Bees out with four singles double and triple. Shoffner made the double and the triple, half of the eXtra-base hits in the game.
 In batting practice, Shoffncr can hit the ball farther than any man on the team except Slapsie- -Maxie West, the west coast strong boy. With men on first and second in the last half of the 1lth, Milt won his own game yesterday with a single to right that brought the win ming run across the rubber.
 Casey Stengel recalls that in the first game Shoffner ever played In Toledo, he hit two home runs.
 Say, Casey" said Bob Quinn af- ter Sundays game, there were a lot of people out there who were afraid you might send in pinch hitter up there for Shoffner in the l1th."
 Put in a pinch hitter for Shoff- ner," snorted Stcngel Boy, I ought to have him hitting fourth on this club"

 Barney was bred in district where the cops traycled in pairs, for protection. He spent his boyhood In Chicagos ghetto, n neighborhood that spawned trigger-men, hop heads, hoodlumS, yeggS, con men. l didn't spend it with him. But I'm not guessing how he spent it. for sat with Barney yesterday afternoon and he told me the things tell you now.
 Listen, I don't think I'm fighting a mu8g," he said. 'I don't think oughta be two to one. Armstrong can hit. Armstrong can box, or he wouldn't be fighting me for my ti- tlc. But listen, he's only one guy with gloves on. WaA raised in the cheapest, dirticat district Of ChIca- go.

HOW ABOUT IT?

Sports Editor: The local amateur boxing promoters decision to stage last weeks postponed show this com ing Thursday has me wondering. As you know, the much publlcized Ross Armstrong championship go is scheduled for this date. and 1t is highly improbable that local ions will want to miss the radio broad cast. Although I am an ardent and regular Istomcr at local amateur boxing shows, hardly think that l shall want to pass up the returns of the Ross Armstrong go on the radio, however: if the local promoters have arranged to have their customers listen in on the big fight, then every thing is all right. Yours in boxing, "FITE FAN".
