Waterbury Youths In Battle Of Seicheprey
 Fought 20 Years Ago
tOric Engagement-Col. Hayes, Major Bannigan Principal Speakers at Banquet Here Tonight

Quiet sunlight in Waterbury to- day presents a contrast to many a World War veteran as the hours ride the peaceful stream of the day.
 Twenty years ago? That was something else again!
 Baptism of Fire
 It was at Seicheprey on April 16, 1918 that Waterbury boys under went their baptism of German att tack, an attack which was pro- longed through the days until the 20th when the Kaiser's picked Storm Troopers" in pitched bat tie found the Yankee Division lads from New England as craggy by nature as the coast of Maine is rocky; as unyieldng as Puritan's conscience; they could not pass.
 Memory of that fighting, of those who died, such as Corporal Frank Coyle, first Waterbury boy to die in France and for whom the local

Title Passes

Title to property on Meriden road, known as Lakeside Tavern, passed last week from the estate of Michael Ferrick to the Water bury Savings Bank. The site, which is on the shores of Lake Hitchcock, was at one time popu- lar as a dining and dancing re- sort. A short time ago it was gutted by fire.
 On November 19 of last year judgment of foreclosure was en- tered in Superior Court by Judge Edwin c. Dickenson in favor of the Waterbury Savings Bank against Helene Ferrick. The debt was $8,648.02. The last day for redemption of equity expired last week.

New Political Setups
 In Litchfield County
Crop of Favorite Sons Biggest in Years-Wall for Congress, Hogan for Lieut=Gov. Novey High Sheriff

true that Novey was defeated in 1 his attempt to be reelected as Tor rington's mayor by the present MT. Patton, Democrat, it is also true that Novey is still very popular person, wise in the way of politics.
 There will be many new faces in the 1889 session of the Connecticut general assembly. In Torrington neither Representatives James Hogan or Stammers will go back. Not because they can't get the nomina- ton but because they don't want to go back. This writer has been and still is of the opinion that Rep. Hogan was one of the most able leg isla tors in the 1935-37 session of the legislature. A fine spokesman, 8 keen legal mind and pleasing per- sonality were a few of Hogan's qualifications. Stammer's too, cre- ated an excellent legislative record in the legislature.
 New Setup
 In Thomaston Rep William John son. Republican, will not get the Re- publican renomination. Winsted, Harwinton, Terryville, Watertown, and New Milford will send new rep resentatives to Hartford. Many of the smaller towns in the county will do likewise.
 Old guard Republican leaders in this county are not enthusiastic about the aspirations of George Benedict of Winsted, recently elect cd to responsible position with the state Young Republicans. Ben- edict would organize Young Repub- lican clubs in thetowns of county A movement that would meet with considerable opposition from the old guard leaders.

Baseball League

Announcements are expected to be made shortly of import to the Washington Park baseball league, which will be a seasonal successor to the basketball circuit, which was so popular and closely watched. Teams which took part in the bas- ketball league are expected to be represented also in the baseball league.
 The Washington Park twilight baseball league was organized last year, and although the season was finished, there was lack of inter- est which kept it from being re- garded as highly successful. With the splendid record established by the basketball league, for attend- ance and fine play, there is the hope that some of these features will be carried over into the base- ball season.
 Although the Hill is represented in the City Amateur League by the Washington Hills, who this year will be stronger than ever, there is the necessity of providing the twi- light league, which will keep up the interest of the fans from one week to another.
 Special Meeting
 A special meeting of the cons mittee in charge of the Communion Breakfast of the Children of Mary of St. Francis church will be held on Monday evening at 7:3O o'clock at the Parish hall. The breakfast will be held on May 1st at the Cop- per Kettle following the 7:3O mass at St. Francis Xavier's church.

TOrrington's Entry

and most interesting political bat ties in it's history as leaders and Would-be leaders vie with one an- other to place the names of their favorites or town, state and county tickets.
 For Congress
 The great struggle will naturally center around the nomination for congressman on the Republican slate from this, the fifth congress sional district. It appears certain thatt he race for the Republican nomination for congress will develop into a three cornered battle with Thomas Wall of Torrington, for years city court prosecutor, as the favorite. The three cornered fight will involve Senator John F. Lynch of Winsted, Thomas Wall and J. Warren Upson of Waterbury.
 On the face of circumstances concerning each of these prospective nominees it would appear certain that MT. Wall, without question, looms as the most promising candi- date. MT. Wall during his years as a public official has made many friends. He is well known and well liked. Senator Lynch of Winsted on the other hand is comparative new conner with only one session of the state to his credit. J. Warren, Re- publican town chairman of Water bury, has little chance of again win- ming the nomination. The fact Upson failed to secure a favorable post with the Young Republicans at their convention last week will nat urally hurt his chances of giving Wall serious fight for the nomina- ton.
 Hogan Ambitions
 Litchfleld county may be repre- sented on the state Democratic ticket If the hopes of friends of Frances Hogan of Torrington mate rialize. Hogan served in the sen- ate during the 1885 session and he is greatly responsible for the city of Torrington going Democratic. Hogan is a recognized power not only in Torrington but in every corner of Litchfield county. Hogan would like to be lieutenant governor, provid- ing the state Democratic leaders should fail to renominate Lieutenant Governor Frank Hayes of Water bury. Many county leaders have pointed out to this writer that 1t is highly advisable for this county to be represented on the state ticket and this fact makes it more than probable that J. Francis will win the nomination. MT. Hogan is well liked, both in this county and throughout the state. In his position as deputy motor vehicle commis- sioner he is in constant touch with the people of the state of Connecti- cut.
 High Sheriff
 Thus far there are three people mentioned for the Republican nom- nation for high sheriff to oppose the present Democratic high sheriff Sutherland A. Beckwith. First &c., lectman E. R. Kaiser of Thomaston has announced his intentions of seeking the nomination. Former Mayor Ernest Novey of Torrington and Harry B. Morse of Litchfield have also been mentioned for the nomination. The odds at this writ ing are on Novey to capture the Republican nomination. While it is
