Naugy Beats Bristol West Ends, 5l-47, as Sweeney,
 EdmOnds Star

Naugatuck, Dec. 8.-ThG Bristol West Ends learned last night at the Y that big things come in small packages, for Myles Babe" Sweeney and Tommy Edmonds; youngest and smallest members of the Keds proved thorns in their sides as the boroughites unsuccessful attempts.
 Official Commended
 The final score was 51 to Al and the capacity crowd undoubtedly saw the most exciting game in the new ly-organized league. The score see- sawed back and forth from the opening whistle until the final two and half minutes to play. Penalties were free throughout and Referee Gus Lonergan of Waterbury ban- ished several players from the game His able handling of the game pleased followers of both teams.
 Sweeney was the big gun for Coach Hymie Rabinovich's boys who were minus the services of their star center, Peanuts" Korowotny, out of the game with sprained wrist SuSbd11Cu III L11C kAA1OOk11d COkIOCSG two weeks ago. The Meadow street youngster was all over the floor and two of his six field goals came dur ing the last four minutes of play when Bristol held a five point lead. Edmonds then came through with pair of set shots and Henry Lo- man sunk a foul ending hte scor- ing for the night.
 Good Foul Shooting
 ''Whitey" Obuchowski, blonde Manchester importation, was the West End threat. The husky guard chalked up 12 points, of which were complimentary awards. The losers kept themselves in the ball game throughout with some fine foul shooting, the best exhibition given here this year.
 Devils Beat EndeeS
 The West Haven Red Devils came from behind with two minutes of play remaining to whip the Mer- iden Endees, 40 to 37, last night in West Haven. Fred Ferrie and Frank Iwanski each scored 12 points for the winners while Benny Zajac an- nexed II for the visitors.

Longden Looms As Prize Jockey
 For 1938 Season
BY THOMAS H. NOONE limited Press Racing Edit0rl

New York, Dec. 8-(UP)-Johnn Longden, a 28-year-old rider from Calgary, Canada, looks like the champion jockey of 1888.
 With only nine days left to ride at Tanforan, Calif., Longden today was 19 winners ahead of his near est rival, Johnny Adams, who top- ped the field last year. Longden has had 218 winners in 1,062 races; Adams, 199 in 1,048.
 Longden, who finished 18th last year, and Adams have been staging a nip and tuck duel on the west coast track for the past two weeks.
 The race might have been even closer if Adams hadn't suffered a fractured leg during the summer when he was on top. Since re- turning to the tracks, the 23-year- old lola, Kansas, rider has tried hard to overhaul Longden but his chances now are very slim, unless Longden should be forced out dur ing the next few days.
 Longden first started riding for A. G. Tarn, Canadian sportsman, and is now under contract to Don Cameron, trainer of the stables of Mrs. John Hertz, Mrs. Vera s. Bragg and J. Shirley.
 Regardless which one finishes on top, he will be the second full- fledged jockey to lead since Ivan Parke won in 1924. Last year Adams headed the list but he did not have the apprentice allowance held by leaders from 1925 through 1886.
 Besides Adams, only two former champions Gilbert, 1892, and Basil James, 1936-are among the first 12 this season. Gilbert, now under suspension by the Ma ryland commission, was ninth when the eastern season ended last month. James was eighth.
 From percentage standpoint James is the seasons leader with victories in slightly more than g out of each 100 races he has rid den.
 The best apprentice in the cur rent ranking is Sammy Williams third with 187 winners. He is now riding at New Orleans,

Southern Cal Heauy Choice To Win From Duke
HaSsett, Bonura Sought By Terry
 For N. Y. Giants
BY TED MAIOY

N DA 4EO NAkAAOA l United Prescs Staff COrrespOndent)
 New Orleans, Dec. 8Bill Terry, manager of the New York Giants, was reported today to have closed g deal with the Washington Senators for First Baseman Zeke Bonura as major league ivory hunters again stole the spotlight from the 37th an- nual minor league baseball conven- tion.
 Six American league clubs, it was said, have turned down the $750O0 waiver price on the 30-year-old Sen- ator star, with Detroit holding up the deal which would send Zeke to New York. Terry, it was understood. opened negotiations with Washing ton when Brooklyn refused to give First Baseman Buddy Hassett for Catcher Ken ODea, whom he se- cured in the six-played swap with Chicago on Tuesday.
 It was believed Terry would wait until the major league meeting in New York next week before calling for a showdown on Bonura.
 If this deal goes through, it was believed that the Dodgers, who have Dolph Camilli as 8 grst-stringer, would send Hassett to another club. The Boston Bees were seen as the best customers if they took Hassett they'd probably send Ebert Fletcher to Pittsburg.
 Grapevine Stuff Among the rumors today were that
 l. The Chicago White Sox have offered Outfielder Ripper Radclif to the Yankees for George Selkirk; 2. The Detroit Tigers don't expect to make any deals until the major league meeting opens in New York, but they would like to send Out fielder Chet Laabs to the Chicago White Sox for Outfielder Larry Rosenthal; 3. That Russ Van Alta, former Yankee pitcher, may leave the St. Louis Browns for the White Sox in return for Infielder Boze Berger.
 Trades made in the last A hours: The Giants released utility h. fielder Mickey Haslin to San Diego in exchange for Pitcher Manuel Salvo; the Philadelphia Phillies sold First Baseman Phil Weintraub to Minneapolis; Boston's Bees sold utility ployer Bobby Refs to St. Paul; Chattanooga purchased First Baseman Roy Mort and Pitcher Stewart Bolen from Hollywood and Outfelder Alb Wright from Montre- al ;the Chicago White Sox sent on option to Shreveport, players Jesse Landrum, John Gerlach and Gene Ford; Homer Peel, former Toledo outf1elder, signed as player manager with Shreveport; Greenville, s. C., signed Alex McColl as manager; Chattanoga purchased Catcher Jim Calvin from Minneapolis, obtained Infielders Edwin Taylor and Edwin Vandergrift from the Boston Bees. Chattanooga also bought Catcher Henry Camilli from Minneapolis.
 Major league delegates were to continue their discussions today on 35 constitutional amendments, chief of which will affect the major -mi- nor laws concerning young players.

conducted at the Pioneer alleys in Derby at 8 date to be selected later. The time and place for ne finals will likewise be chosen later.
 The winners of the finals will re- ceive prizes and in addition the as- sociation is donating a trophy to the winner, who will face the cream of the duckpin world in the national head -to-head eliminations in Wash ington in March. The Connecticut winner will be match game cham pion in every sense of the world if he can get by the tough field ready to start in Middletown and then master such ars as Astor Clarke, Percy Wolfe or Hokie Smith who will probably represent southern as- sociation.
 All bowlers interested in rolling in these eliminations should notify Ed. Feustel, 269 Dwight street, New Haven, immediately.

TOLES, BARLUND
 TANCLE TONIGHT

New York, Dec. 8.-(UP)-Roscoe Toles, hard-hitting Detroit negro heavyweight, was a 6-5 favorite to- day to defeat Gunnar Barlund of Finland in their 10-round "redemp- tion fight" tomorrow night at the Hippodrome.
 A few months ago, this bout would have drawn big gate at Madison Square Garden because both were considered such tough customers that none of the top-flight heavy weights would meet them.
 But they're fighting 10 rounds at the Hip" instead of IS at the Gar den because each lost to easy oppon- entS in their last trips through the ropes. Barlund was upset by Young Lou Nova of Alameda, Calif., and Toles was surprised by Willie Red- dish, Philadelphia negro.
 Thus tomorrow's brawl will be a redemption" affair, for both are trying to get back into the big-time picture. Toles is favored because of his punching ability and because of Barlund's tendency to cut easily.

CALENTO FOULS:
 WINS KNOCKOUT

St. Louis, Mo, Dec. 8.-(UP)- Tony Galento, Orange, N. J., heavy weight and chief challenger of champion Joe Louis. downed a glass of his favorite brew today and said his knockout victory last night over Otis Thomas. Chicago negro, was proof enough of his right to meet Louis in title match.
 Galento stopped Thomas with a left hook to the solar plexus in one minute and 35 seconds of the 9th round of scheduled 12-round bout.
 He scored a knockdown in the third round, then nearly lost the match in the eighth because of low blows. Referee Walter Heisner stopped the bout and threatened to give the decision to Thomas. He permitted it to be resumed, however. when Thomas said he had not been injured and would prefer to con- tinue.
 Until the knockout the fight was fairly even. Galento weighed 227, Thomas, POS.

Italian American Recreation Bowling Notes

According to some of the scores last week, the holiday did have some affect on boys bowling and much to my regret must say for the worst. The only team to date that rates tops is Brown which has been bowling at a steady gait, never too high or low, but just steady enough to beat the opposition which has been cratic to date.
 Brown defeated California to o for the major upset of the eve- ming. Although Brown is leading the league California was favored to beat them.
 (Mari Mountain) Piazza claims from now on it will be a cinch for Brown (Relief) Sparano said if l find job you will have to look for me in class B. (Aid) Tolette stopped running bank nights and improved in his bowling (Panthy) Pannone doesn't want anyone to cheer against his team (Snazzy) MazI wants his name spelled right SO when his name gets in the paper he will be known.
 California here come has come and went, yes gone with the wind. Believe me it must have been the North wind. (CloSe Shave) Cara fola could not win come close with 287 (Baldy) Ciminera ran Cara fola 8 close first with 284 (North Wind) Denti wasn't even a slight breeze at the end of the three games. Paul bowled hurricane 315 (Blaster) Napps must be get ting old he bowled 302. They tell me he has gone in for volley ball.
 Navy which is going places de- feated Dartmouth 2 to to go into tie for second place with said team. (Stoker) Palladino bowled true to form with 297 (Sausage) B. Cont said the strain is beginning to tell on me. (Dazzler) E. Cont done the brother act with 31l (Cur- ley) Capobianco thinks the salt air gets in his hair. (First Mate) Per- razelle said women first and went overheard with a 324.
 Dartmouth according to Navy played and acted like a bunch o1 landlubbers losing 3 out 3.
 (Lobber) Lombardi bowled good enough to win any game. (Smiler) Brunette must be in love Frank bowled 298. (Benito) Scarpati was best man on his team, (for the op- posing team (GooSey) Rivero was scared but managed a 346.

Loves basket was the deciding factor. Santora again led the Aviglianere attack with 15 points. The score:
