Naugatuck Valley Notes

of one or two It was a tough one for the Gas House Gang to lose but with two good hurlers they'll be bouncing into the thick of the pennant race off and on.
 The less said about the Oakville- Thomaston affair the better Harry Lynchs boys turning the affair into a rout. Oakville seemed to be Suf- fering from stage fright but the boys from the Vile are bound to get going and won't be doormat for the loop by any means. They are confident of evening things up this week with a win over Watertown, a club that nearly handed the Tor rington Boys Club surprise defeat. Ray Dunn will get the mound as- signment for Oakville and if the big right handler is right, WatertoWn will have a tough afternoon of it, but on the other hand if Chris Grinvalsky duplicates his pitching performance of last week it will be a tight afternoon with run making pretty stingy product.
 The main attraction Of the week should be the Thomaston-Torring- ton game which will be played at the Clocktown's Bandbox Park, "The Batsman's Paradise" Lefty Johnson and Johnnie Jay will prob ably be the opposing pitchers and both will be lucky to be on the mound at the finish, not taking any credit away from their pitching powers, but you know the case ot the Phillies and Baker Bowl.
 Litchfield goes to Winsted on Saturday, the latter club has no field for Sunday ball and Litchfield should take this one. Comprin1 may get the call for Litchfield -. Brls- tol entertainS St. Ann's of Water bury in the remaining game at Washington Park.
 Leading Swatsmen
 Tony DeSantis, of the Thomas tons was the only batsman to have a perfect day at the platter with three for three, while Cliff Bram- mer of the same club had four for five and McHugh of Litchfield had the same . Alexander of BriS- tol and Kemis of the New City Boys Clubs had home runs .. /. Longo of St. Ann's was the most potential with his willow driving in four runs against Winsted .. TWen- ty doubles were hit in four con- tests, eighteen coming in two games at Waterbury and Thomaston .. . Thomaston garnered the most hits while Bristol was less fortunate than the rest of the league with only four bingles Litchfield left fourteen runners stranded v. Only two double plays were turned in by the entire circut ... Georgie Fenn of the Oakville club was the fielding star of the day handling ten chances at shortstop without an error Freddie Pollack turned in a beautiful play in the same po- sition making bare handed stop of line smash.
 Next Weeks Schedule
 Torrington at ThomaSton this coming Sabbath looms as the main contest of the afternoon and the rival pitchers will be in for tough afternoon on the small field which is listed as a batter's paradise" Oakville and WatertoWn resume an old rivalry at Hemingway Field in a game which should be a thriller. Ray Dunn will be making his first start for the Viners opposing George Grinvalsky. Bristol travels to Waterbury and Litchfield meets WinSted
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-05-12

Waterbury's St. Ann's turned in the leagues first big upset beating the Winsted Boys Club 9-7. The Trenches were blanked for five in- nings before they started tc peck away at Ryan, the Winsted hurlers. Three runs in the sixth, two in the seventh and four in the eighth net ted the home club the ball game. Fournier who has expected to be mostly a relief pitcher got away with the ball game hurling seven hit ball while flaming six .. Win Sted lost its star tWirler, Dutchy Dayton just before Sundays game, the veteran having received bet ter offer from a team down the valley.
 The Litchfield- Bristol headliner was a corker and although the Wagners didn't live up to advanced game, Bristolites were satisfied with the great hurling duel between Lee Porter and Bud Pottinger ano Lefty Ferrarra. Pottinger hurled the first eight innings for Bristol and Ferrara the last four being nicked for the fatal tally in the first half of the twelfth inning ;. Porter was even more brilliant allowing but four hits and walking nary a batsman while striking out nine |. |.

Chi White Sox Need Ambulance
 For Their Squad
By ROBERT WEBB United Press Staff Correspondent

Boston, May 12-CUP)-Letting the sports chips fall where they may:
 It's surprising the Chicago White SoX don't travel in an ambulance when they're away from home. Jimmy Dykes has more injured play CTS on his hands than any manager in the business. His shortstop, sec- ond baSeman, first baseman and three pitchers are hors de combat at the moment and some won't be back for couple of months.
 Luke Appling, the 1886 batting champion who broke his leg in spring training, won't be available for another six weeks land even then" says Dykes, The may not be able to help us much" First Baseman Joe Kuhel, who came to the club in the swap that sent big zeke Bonura to Washington sprained his foot sliding into second in the Yankee Stadium and isn't even travelling with the club.
 Kuhel hasn't been hitting as well as Dykes hoped. During the Is games before his injury, he had driv- en only two runs across the plate although his fielding has been con- slstently good. .. In place of Second Baseman Jack Hayes who also has an injured foot, Dykes yesterday used Jesse Landrum, a F,rench-In- dian from Texas A. and M.
 filling pitchers are Clint Brown who appeared in 53 games last year; John Whitehead, who is sim ply sick, and Monte Stratton, whose arm IS very sore. Brown under went an operation few days ago fol the removal of clipped bone ir ms arm. He probably won't throw ball again all season.
 Things have been so tough that Dykes, a 41-year-old infielder witt 70 years major league experience has been forced to step into the oreech to play five games. His hit. tlng was okay during that periot but he made five errors. :. His leg, give him bit of trouble so hel probably stay out of the lineup un. less the infield situation is acute
 Dykes is still pretty cheerful abou tne seasons outlook. t. He realize. the trade that sent zeke Bonura one or Chlcago's most popular play. CTS away, wasn't appreciated in tn, Windy City. The fans, though haven't done any open beefing bu perhaps they will when the tean goes back to Chicago with Rip Rad cilife, an outfelder, playing the ini tial sack.
 wen be up there in the first diyi slon all right" says Dykes, optimis tlaclly, unless we fall too far be- hlnd while our men are injured. =. The White Sox had fair luck i, New York because two of their thre games with the Tanks were raine, out: Dykes and his men will b. better equipped to tangle with th worlds champions on the next east ern swing. '' Perhaps the only pleasant spot O, the Chicago horizon has been tn arrival Of Frank Gabler, the fornfe Bee who was waived out of the Ma tional League. Gabe won, his frs start against the Athletics and woul, have given Lefty Grove quite al argument yesterday if the Chicag infieid wasn't packed with juvenile AS it was, the Sox made fewe hits off Gabler than did the Whit Sox off old Nose.

New York, May 12-UP)-The Walker cup team has put to sea, bound for old St. Andrews.
 On the pier, with farewells over and the busy little tugs swinging the Bremen out into the channel, I remembered 1894 and the last Walker cup trip. I wondered, as the Bremen was cut free and started moving down the harbor, if the boys would gather as many memories as we did four years ago.
 We weren't on any super liner. The U. s. G. A. made it real Scotch trip, so we sailed on the Cal edonia, a ship that's closed to the sea and manned by men whose burr would bit into any wind; a ship that takes her time reaching the gentle waters of the Clyde; ship of haggis and bagpipes and scones and drambuie-a swell ship.
 Only three who sailed on the Bremen were with us then .. Fran cis Ouimet, Johnny Goodman and
