Naugatuck June 16-In the first game of the second round Keds Making defeated the Office team, 3-2. Despite trick plays, the Office team lacked the punch to eke out a victory. One of the highlights of the game was Hennessey's peg which caught boss Donley in an attempt to slide in to second. The revamped Keds Making lineup had as pitcher Jimmy Lake whose hooks and slants completely baffled the Office slug gers.
 On the center diamond at recrea- ton, the Keds Cutting team pulled a last minute 3-2 victory over the Laboratory. In spite of Geise's spec tacular home run in the eighth in- ming. the Gas House gang finally solved the combination. hammering the Lab boys for several hits and the winning run in the last of the eighth.

 The hapless Central Offlce team took another severe drubbing. this time at the hands of Bob Gair's Waterproof team 27-8.
