He kept his pears for 10 years,
ran for the legislature again, and
made the grade. He was speaker
of the house in 1885, ran for
governor in Sc. and got the usual
Republican majority.
To top it all off, this neophyte
in politics tells you he's surprised
that his letter to the bigwigs
caught the attention of a national
audience.
He says he didn't expect the
lirnelight of a mass interview, the

TRIANGLES, BRISTOL
 GAME ON TONIGHT

The North End Triangles, win ners of five out of seven games, played to date will tackle the strong League of Nations basketball team of Bristol tonight at the North End Y at 7:30 o'clock.
 After defeating the Oakville Dukes last Friday the Triangles have high hopes of defeating Bristol tonight; as Alex Jacovino, the lad who scored 24 points against the Dukes will see action with his forward mate Joe Rossi, one of the best defensive players in the Y. With this forward combination and Joe Renaldi and Ray Mazzeferro guards, with George Mazzeferro at center; Coach Ouinet expects nothing but win for the Triangles.
 The Triangles, one of the favorites in the Y Senior league will not play this Wednesday as they have a bye. Their next league game will be Sum- day when they stack up against the Trojans. Thus being the case the Triangles would like to arrange a game with one of the leading teams in the city for Wednesday or Friday nights of this week. If this can be arranged please call 3-3518 between 5 and 6 and ask for Joe.

STAR SWIMMER
 DIES FROM FALL

New York, Dec. 5-(UP)-Ray Buddy, 26, former American Olym- pic swimmer, died last night of a brain concussion received in fall down a flight of stairs.
 He was member of the 1928 Olympic; the 193 2and 1886 teams, on which has was water polo player. During his career he set IS American records and one world record, the latter for 440-yards. His speciality was distance events and he won the national A. A. U. long dis tance titles in 1927, 1929 and 193O.
 While leaving the Forest Hills home of an aunt, Mrs. Walter Leary, Saturday, Buddy caught his foot in the carpet of stairway. He lost his balance and fell nearly the entire flight, striking his head against a radiator on the first floor.
 He was able to rise but did not go to the New York Athletic club, where he father is swimming coach, as he had planned. Instead, he went to bed and apparently fell asleep. In the morning, however, it was inn possible to arouse him. He was taken to a hospital where an exam nation revealed a fracture at the base of the skull. He died without regaining consciousness.
 Buddy is survived by his parents, two brothers and two sisters. His father is Joe Buddy, famed head of the Swimming Ruddys".

 New York, Dec. 5-The 1888 foot ball season is ended and, as so often happens, no one team has establish ed a legitimate claim to the myth ical national crown.
 Of the hundreds of elevens that started the campaign with high hopes. only four of major calibre swept through the season unbeaten and untied-Duke, Tennessee, Ok lahoma and Texas Christitn.
 These teams play in the various bowl games January 2, along with several others whose records show defeats, but who nevertheless may still have claims on the title that does not exist.
 One in this latter class is South ern California which, although beat en by Alabama and Washington, rose to the heights Saturday by humbling Notre Dame 13-0.
 Everyone, except the Trojans had said the Irish, whose previous vic- tins included Minnesota, Northwest ern, Carnegie Tech and Army, would nail down undisputed possession of the national title by walloping the Trojans. But Notre Dame made a couple of costly errors. Southern California capitalized on them and won the ball game.
 Out of the Orange bowl game at Miami may come one of the strong est of all claimants because that

 New York, Dec. 5-UP)-Come depression, recession or whatever you want to call it, the shower of gold at the race tracks grows heavier by the year.
 Betting at mutuel tracks for 1888 already is ahead of that for 1887, a survey by the United Press showed today. Reports from 16 out of the IS states where betting on the horses is legalized, show that $270, ,005, 1906 has been wagered this year as against $268, ,695 .255 in 1887.
 California, where the season is fast coming to a close, heads the list with upwards of $75,000,000 bet in 262 days of racing. This figure repre- sents an increase of approximately 55 per cent over 1897 when 7,s76.- 269 was reported for 196 days of racing. The longer season, to which the new Hollywood track contributed $15,858, 1898, accounted for the record figure.
 Massachusetts, with 90 days of rac- ing, the same as last year, was sec- ond on the list with close to 50 per cent increase for $48, ,991 ,865.
 Only three states - Maryland, Michigan and New Hampshire-re- ported an appreciable decline. The sudden curtailment of the Bowie meeting in Maryland and unusual bad weather at the fall meetings of the four major tracks was believed to have caused the drop of almost $4,000,000 in that state.

The North End "Y" Varsity opened their 1938-39 basketball cam- paign with a 42-36 victory over the strong Norwood A. c. at the North End "" yesterday afternoon. With the great playing of Lous Chestone and Herb Leece, the Varsity proved too strong for their opponents. An- gelo Jacovino, "Ricky" Riccuiti and Bob Leece carried the brunt of at tack throughout the closing minutes of the game to give the North End CTS a edge, which was ever over taken. The brilliant playing of Lou Chestone with 12 points proved to be the spark that touched the Var sity of to victory.

WASHINGTON PARK
 HOOP INAUGURAL
St. Anns and Hill Gents Paired TOnight-Hearts
 VS Robins

Making their debut in the Wash ington Park basketball league which officially opens tonight, the St. Ann'S A. A. will stack up against the Gents of the Hill in the league opener at 7:45 o'clock. The Sacred Hearts will meet the Robins in the second thriller.
 Supt of Parks James J. Curtin will toss up the first ball, keeping alive custom which has been tra- ditional to the league since its or ganization.
 Uncertain
 Strength or weakness of any team playing tonight is unknown, be- cause of the fact that no team line ups have been submitted to the league. St. Ann's are an absolute mystery, having never before played in the league. The Gents had a strong club last year, while the Robins and Sacred Hearts were not considered any great threat. It is understood, however, that the ta- bles have been turned this year.
 A bylaw which precludes par ticipation of out-of-town players will eliminate Russ Weaving, long range pivot man of the St. Ann's, as he is a Naugatuck resident. The same bylaw upset the plans of the Gents to recruit Babe Sweeney and Tommy Edmonds of the KedS, also Naugy boys.
 Johnny Mccormack and Jim Tracy will officiate, Matt Phelan will keep time and Jim Fitzpatrick will score. The nets have been re- moved from the immediate playing surface.

 Tennessee proved itself one of the greatest, by overwhelming a good Mississippi eleven 47-0, and Okla homa kept itself up front by licking Washington State 28-0.
 Southern California has a date in Rose bowl with unbeaten and un- scored-on Duke and a victory would give the Trojans stock huge boost.

 In other major games Saturday, Temple surprised Florida 20-12; Rice defeated Southern Methodist 25-14; and North Carolina State defeated the Citadel 14-6.
 The 1888 campaign produced new champions in all but two major conferences. The repeaterS were Minnesota in the big ten and Har- yard in the big three. California, Pacific coast winner last year, shared that crown this season with South ern California.

Surprisingly toppled from the ranks of the undefeated yesterday afternoon before 300 paying cus- toners at the Central Y by the vastly improved Ashley club, 38 to 30, the Bristol West Ends will now look forward to Wednesday nights game in Naugatuck against the KedS who have yet to break into the win column.

 The Ashleys will be idle this week as far as State league activity is con- cerned. However, next Sunday af- ternoon at the Y they will engage Alex Mazzarella's well-drilled West Side Speedboys, featuring Johnny Stollar, Frankie Darlington, Bill Kalosky, Freddy Sullivan, Stan Grey Tiny Switz and Ralph Bradley, the winner undoubtedly getting a shot at the Knights of Lithuania later in the year to settle the city champion ship.
 Bobby Ray, part-time star of the West Side Speedboys, was one of the big guns in the Ashley scoring ma chine yesterday scoring four field goals and a free try for nine points Wally Utke, former West Finder, also put in nine points for the locals while Charley Paddock of Meriden dropped in eight and held Eddie Do- bek, Bristol scoring ace, to three field goals.

 Program
BY VIM. DONAHUE

When the basketball wars take up this week where they left of last, we find that we have several very fine teams in the league. The difference between the winning and losing team being very slight, with all indications of some good bas- ketball for the rest of the season. The results of last week:
 St.. Lucy 26, Immaculate Concep- ton 25; St. Thomas 19, St. Mar garet's 18; Blessed Sacrament 25 Stanislaus IS; St. Francis 25, St Mary Magdelen IS; SS Peter and Paul 29, Sacred Heart 28; St. Joseph and Mount Carmel, postponed.
 St. Lucy possesses smooth-run- ming team with the ability to pull game out of the fire in the last second.
 Immaculate Conception boys had better practice shooting from the foul line. When you miss IS out of 26 that is something.
 St. Thomas may develop into a team that comes along and makes the preseason favorites look sick. Blessed Sacrament should be among that top four when the end of the season rolls along, if not for anything than to work as a unit.
 St. Stanislaus are a httle-known of team but do not sell them short by no means. They will be in there fighting all the time.
 St. Francis really won the first game. I wonder how they did it. Maybe we had better look into this.
 St. Mary Magdalen seems to be on the wrong end of the score. They are bound to give some one a run for their money yet. SS. Peter and Paul have one of those teams which will not be denied victory regardless of the opposi- tion. I look for them to come out on the top.
 Sacred Heart came through the wrong door last week. They will be out for revenge this, so beware, to those who play them after this writing.
