Broaca, ArmO.K. Wants to Pitch
 Against Tanks
Thinks New York Club Should Pay All Doctor
 Bills; Quit Team
BY ROBERT WEBB United Press Staff Correspondent

Lowell, Mass, Feb. 16,-tUP)- John Broaca, the bespectacled New York Yankees fast-ball pitcher who left the club in Cleveland last sum- mer and hasn't yet been back, said today that the power had returned to his pitching arm which gave him so much trouble last season.
 The 26-year old Yale graduate, a starting pitcher with the Yankees in 1884, 1885 and 1886, has been working out daily in & local gym- nasium for almost six weeks. Be- cause he has been punching the bag, rumors have arisen that he is contemplating future as pro- fessional boxer.
 Broaca has no idea of embarking on fistic career. He boxed only orce at Yale, winning the 165- pound class as a freshman in an .ntramural tournament.
 Quit the Tanks
 Broaca revealed today that he took aspirin tablets before he pitched for the Yankees last sum- mer in an effort to ease the pain in his sore pitching arm. Because his arzn felt heavy even after treat ments, he decided to "call it sea- son" in July and left the Yankees for his home in Lawrence.
 Apparently Broaca strained his arm last season and because he made an effort to change his pitch ing style, he was accused of loaf ing by New York writers. He said that Joe Mccarthy, Yankees man. ager, also was displeased early in the season and threatened to trade him if he did not strike out more men.
 Broaca won his only game of the season early in April when he beat Philadelphia 7-2. A few days later, his arm pained him but in subsequent games, he warmed his arm 15 minutes under lamp and took two aspirin tablets to relieve the pain.
 Finally Broaca was examined by a doctor who said that the pain was caused by justification of his shoulder muscles, although there was nothing structurally wrong with his arm. He talked with club of- ficials, including Mccarthy and E.. G. Barrow, general manager of the club, who suggested he be treated by doctor for four weeks.
 Broaca was convinced that his to finish up against the Detroit arm was improving and was sent in Tigers during July. Nevertheless, he decided to quit for the season short

Central Proves Valley Loop "Giant Killer;
 LeavenWOrth Loses
By HUGO HoOPLA

Anxious to gallop down the "home stretch" of their 1888 high school basketball schedule, Wilby high schools Wildcats, are still bristling a bit for more action since their win over Crosby and hope to add Jack Mead's Harding hoopsters from McLeveyville Bridgeport to yoW to their list of victims, and then knock off the current valley champions from Naugatuck Satur- day night in the borough, even as Central did in the Park City yes- terday.
 Tough Task
 That, however is a whale of a big order, as any waiter well knows, when Cousin Eddie Keenan plants his feet under table, but it con- stitutes the immediate objective of a team, that for half game Sat urday night, looked capable of beat ing Naugatuck, Yale or Stanford, to give the story coast to coast complex.
 You can be sure that Coach James William Lee will juggle his hoop talent judiciously when they set sail against Harding tonight, for the Wilby kids will have to figure on a third or fourth period drive to sew up the game against Harding, which specializes in a strong zone defense and is at home on a big floor of the Wilby gym type. It's up to Mussy McGrath to provide the sparkplug of scoring early and often, which means that he will be given plenty of help from the speedy Ray Bartkus and Har- nick, while Cheston's defensive play may come in very handy. The teams will get galloping about 8:30 p. m. with the reserve teams in the usual prelim.

Naugatuck, Feb. 16 = Disappoint- ed but not discouraged by it's 44-35 defeat by Central High in Bridge port yesterday, the Naugatuck High hoop team was determined today to re-enter the win column when it meets Wilby High of Waterbury at the local Y. M. c. A. Saturday night.
 In view of the defeat yesterday, it is expected the "" gym will be packed to see if the locals have lost the edge. Central High deserved it's triumph yesterday when it broke Naugatuck's 16-game winning streak The Bridgeporters showed class and speed and outplayed Naugatuck in the last half.
 Undoubtedly the loss of Captain Bill Cross early in the third period via the foul route hurt the locals chances but such 'breaks" have to be expected by any team.

Library Condemned
BY the end of 1894 the deprcs-
sion was pretty much forgotten
in Imperial Valley and again the
business of the library progressed
smoothly. Room for more books
of course was scarce, but that was
only minor problem.
Then in 1885 the library was
condemned January of that year
the librarians were forced to evac
uate the building. But the staff
was not to be beaten. Desks were
set up on the lawn of the library
and books were checked in and
out until the present building was
taken over in February.
Crowded conditions in the new
library forced more action by the
library board and again the city
council was forced into action. A
plan was presented to remodel the
old edifice and build a completely
new structure.
Work was started last week and
will be completed before the end
of three months. Then the city
fathers can rest again.
Removal of the library to the old
building, with increased floor space
will again give the people of the
city access to more than 10000
volumes.

on Main street between sixth and

situated. A hardware store and
the city post office shared its
quarters.
In 1909, when the streets of the
city were still unpaved and when
city trustees were forced to drive
to their meetings in horse and
wagons, the FL Centre city fathers
passed an ordinance to build a
new library.
The structure cost the city SILL

up $4,000 of the total. ct is ru-

First Librarian
Mrs. Allen Nuffer, then Merle
Whitestarver, was the first librar-
ian in the new building, which was
completed in 1910.
City trtNtees Ettled back in
their chairs and heaved a sigh
of self satisfaction when the Ii
brary opened its doors to the public.
1t was the finest library in the
southwest.
At the end of 1910 the library
had accumulated 703 volumes.
Things at the city library moved
along quite smoothly during the
next 25 years. OF course there were
such minor troubles as the earth
quake of 1915 and the tremors in
1927. but that only put a few
cracks in the brick building.
In 1929 depression peeped into
the valley. During the next four
years the library staff had to cut
expenses to meet their budget de-
crease, effected by the state But
the library, under the direction of
Mrs. Agnes Bigelow, who followed
in the footsteps of Mrs. Nuffer,
Mrs. Thomas Beeman, and Miss
Velma Kirkpatrick, sliced expenses
without cutting the book fund.

Clock Shop Girls Walloped Hard in Softball Tilt;

The Clock Shop Girls softbail team took the field against the Re- porters yesterday afternoon at Hamilton Park in shorts and took the short end of a 11-7 score after nine innings of play although Um- pires 'Scotty' Finlay and John 'Keg- line Brady gave the gals everything but Henry Brophy's seven errors.
 Betty Valaitis, Ingersoll hurler, found out after two innings why the fair damsels are termed the weaker sex. Even Lyall Hill and Fred Quig- ley socked her offerings for extra base hits. The payoff came when the Fourth Estaters ambidexterous manager, Chick Kelley, traded First Baseman Brophy for ripped softball.
 Mrs. 'Yonkers' Mrozinski, diminu- tive catcher of the Watchmakers, Betty Pooler, petite shortstop, and Miss Home Run Whisky excelled for the Ingersolls who were minus the services of two regulars, the Misses Pocius and Church.
 Jimmy Little, chief statistician of the Police Department, proved big help to the winners on third base, knocking down two of Il grounders Catcher Kelley on play at home plate was knocked off his pins by Home Run Whisky in the second inning and retired after downing d promo seltZer.
