INDIES TO MAKE. 'DIG TIME DEBUT
 AT 8 TONIGHT
Bristol West Ends Have Classy Club; Game Under
 Lights; Good Weather

Waterbury's Corporal Coyle Post of the American Legion may make an annual hookup with sports from a local standpoint, if the night foot ball game sponsored by the war vet erans at Hamilton park tonight, turns out to be the success it shapes up to be, what with good weather ahead and 5000 tickets distributed in advance. One of the best pro- fessional clubs in the state, Bristol's West Ends comes to town for the first time, to play the Waterbury Indies, a team that has lost but one game in five starts and easily the best among local competitors this season.
 Locals Ready
 The Indies, primed and ready for their biggest test of this or any other season, are quietly confident that they will be able to furnish the professionals with much more than the workout" some say, for the local array has loaded" a bit to cope with the heavy line to con- front them in behalf of Bristol and has added speedy back or two cal- culated to keep them at least on even terms with the Bell City club which has not been too successful this season, having been beaten by Danbury twice. However, in Burke, Batten, Calvin, Pendergast and Kaufman the West Ends have a formidable set of backs while George Mulligan and Sugar Hugret on the ends are both fast and heavy which is why the Indies will need some real brawn and ability in the front line trenches to make this Armis- tice Night game pleasant mem- ory. A victory for the Indies will assure them of game in Danbury next week and a chance to defeat the acknowledged state champions from the Hat City. Albie Booth and F. T. Fay) Vincent will kick of before the game and between the halves while the game officials in- clude: Eddie Hart, referee; Dr. B. A. O'Hara, umpire, John Cluney, head linesman; and Chick Kelley, field judge.
 Extra Help
 With the addition of Mike Di- Napoli and Ohio Gianelli of the Derby Blackhirds; John Polman and Billy Kusaila of the Century Club and possibly Red Morelli of Fairfield Tigers, the Indies and their packers figure they are ready for anything the Bristol lads have to offer. Band music, including high school group and Corporal Coyle Drum and Bugle Corps will enliven the proceedings throughout the evening. A crowd of 1000 is expected to see the game.

tion against them now.
 The department of justice, the state attorney general, District Att torney Thomas E. Dewey, the securi- ties and exchange commission and the U. s. post office department were piling up evidence which indi- cates that McKeSson & Robbins, in the person of it's president, engaged in illicit activities ranging from bootlegging to gun-running.
 Investigators believed:
 1. Coster, George Dietrich and Vernard were together responsible for the $18,OO0,000 shortage in the 105-year-old drug firms listed as- sets. The sum represented $10,000,- 900 in drug stocks and $8,000,000 in accounts receivable fraudulently in the company's crude drug depart ment, found to be non-existent. 2. That Coster was the financial packer of the munitions ship Mar Cantabrico, captured about two years ago by the Spanish rebels when it attempted to run block ade to Loyalist Spain.
 3. That Coster several years ago went to Bolivia and attempted to obtain a quinine monopoly by offer ing the nation money, and probably guns, to aid in the prosecution of it's war with Paraguay over the Gran Chaco.
 4. That Coster may have been in- volved in the huge illicit alcohol business of prohibition days and that he may have been drawn by his money lust into the narcotics-smug- gling racket.

'There were no questions whatever, and you might say the resignation was voluntary" Coster had been listed as direc- tor of the Fairfield Trust Company, but that bank had merged with the Bridgeport City Trust Company several years ago and Coster, there fore, was a director of both.
