PEP MEETINGS
During the past week the Cheering
Squad met in the auditorium and fill
ed the building with rousing cheers
and songs in preparation for the Cham
pionship games. The pupils have not
only memorized and practiced over
twenty-five cheers but have also learn
ed five high school victory songs. We
think our high school has one of the
best cheer squads on the Shore. Dur
ing Mondays tri-county games the
cheer squad lined up on one side of
the armory and encouraged the POGO
moke teams during the entire length
of the games. This is another exam
pie of the splendid school spirit that
is being shown this year.

CROSBY 'B00TS'
 VALLEY LEAD
Errors Give AnsOnia Easy lO-l Win Locals
 Held to 4 Hits

Just when they were beginning to show championship possibilities, Crosby's Blue and White baseball squad turned in @ game worthy of a field full of Joe Walls, booted the ball around as though 1t were a soc- cer oval, and dropped 10-1 decision to Ansonia, thereby sliding from first to third place in the N. V. L. standing. All the damage was done in the last half of the game, Arlsonia scoring five runs in the sixth while Crosby was held to four hits.
 It was nip and tuck ball game for five innings with the Daly -Shee- an-McKenna combine knocking in another double play to choke off a rally. Another attempted double out in the sixth when Sheehan dropped the ball for a forceout, started the bad news and later on Ansonia scored two runs in the eighth and again in the ninth on a pair of hits and pebble in each inning. Score:

two strikes on him. I signal for a fast one. Carl shakes me off. call for it again. He shakes me off. I'm in hurry to get out of the ball park, so I walk out to him and tell him that 1t doesn't matter, and to throw it in there. You know what he tells me? He says, no, he won't throw the fast one because two years ago Camilli hit one like that for two bases. He hasn't for gotten, and even with the pennant won, and the game sewed up, he won't throw one that Camilli likes. |"
 Hubbell's concentration Is tre- mendous.
 I've walked out and talked to him in many game" Gus told me, "and have him not even hear me. Too busy thinking about what he was going to throw next. Nobody ever wanted to win more than Carl does, but never saw fellow who could take his bumps with the same grace. One in 6 million, I tell you"
 stopped Hubbell and spoke to him just few minutes before he went out to the mound, and asked him how he felt.
 "Never better" he said.
 That wasn't true. He still was weak from grippe which week or so ago forced him to miss his regu- lar pitching turn for the first time in ten years.
 But the man doesn't know the meaning of the word excuse. When he pitches he wins or loses, and that ends 1t.

ACAWAM SETF0R| 1 GRAND OPENING
 SHOW NEXT WEEK l
Public Invited to lnspec- ton Sunday-Jump
 Course Set

Springfield, May 19.-With the 1888 renewal of the inaugural Aga wam Handicap little more than a week away, horsemen are setting their handicap eligibles down to serious business and stop watches at the local race course are smoking merrily. Guy Fawkes and High Hedge are expected to hook up at the head of the stretch in duel which may smash the track record, although word has been relayed from New York that T. H. Healey also has aspirations to the purse with the consistent Black Look.
 Managing Director Eddie Bren- nan, after serving in an official capacity at Pimlico, has rolled up his sleeves and gone to work vigor- ously at Agawam park. Brennan re- ported that approximately 150 jump CTS will be sheltered under the local stable roofs by post time on May 28 in anticipation of the jumping events to be staged twice weekly. Construction of the brush and tim Der hurdles is rushing along, and one or more of the jumps may be in place by Sunday morning when the final open house of the season will be held.
 Inspection Day
 On Sunday all racing fans and horse lovers have been invited to visit Agawam park as guests of the management, browsing through the grandstand, the clubhouse, the in- field and the stables. Early corners will be privileged to watch the hors- es going through their morning workouts, one of the most thrilling of all racing activities. They can even follow the steaming thorough breds to the barns to watch them cooled out and stabled, although there will be much for late arrivals to observe, as well. Jimmy Jones' electric camera is nearing installa- tion, the totalizator board will be humming, the loudspeaker will be squalling, officials will be hustling and the ponies will be looking 1t all over from the 1920 stalls on the back stretch.
 Both the racing strip and the Jumping course are in superb con- dition. At least two of the jumps will be erected early next week, SO that the jumpers can start schooling in preparation for the Brookside, which will be held here June 3d. It will be the first steeple-chase race in the history of pari-mutuel tracks in Massachusetts, and has attract ed wide attention throughout the country.

WARNEKE LOST TO CARDINALS
 FOR TEN DAYS
Bruised Leg Will Lay Up St. Louis Star-Dean
 Says Arm 0. K.

New York, May 19.-(UP)-The St. Louis Cardinals, their pitching staff already weakened by the sale of Dizzy Dean, lost another ace to- day when Lon Warneke left for St. Louis with an ailing leg.
 Warneke was struck on the right shin by line drive of the bat of Brooklyn's Babe Phelps on May in St. Louis. He finished the game for his third victory of the season. A week later, while working against Cincinnati, he retired after four in- nings, complaining of his leg.
 Yesterday Warneke hobbled around at Ebbets field. Manager Frank Frisch ordered his leg examined and the fibula bone was found severely bruised three inches above the ankle. He was sent home for treatment by Dr. Robert Hyland, club physician.
 He wanted to stay with the team," Frisch said, "but it's best that he go home. Maybe it's serious, maybe it's not"
 TIC Sdlu WdTuGkc WOulU Uc OUI lOT more than a week-and perhaps longer.
 As the Cards pitching woes in- creased, the Cubs seemed to be im- proving. Dizzy Dean gave his $25,- 900 arm a brief workout yesterday at the Polo Grounds and afterwards expressed confidence that 1t would be sound soon.
 After two weeks of absolute rest, Dean pitched for 10 minutes before the Cardinal Giants game.
 'Tt felt f1ne," Dig said.
 Dizzy was nice and loose," said Manager Charlie Grimm. T have every reason to believe he'll come back"
 Present plans call for Dean to work out each day, bearing down a little more each time. In about a week he'll pitch batting practice, and then if the improvement con- tinues, he will start game @ week or ten days later.
 '"The big trouble have with him now," said Grimm, "is to keep him from bearing down too quick. He keeps wanting to cut loose"

Matchmaker Mickey Dance has seen to 1t that Waterbury's top- notchers, including state lightweight champion Tommy Ciarlo. the ex- king of the 135 pounders Dick Tur- cotte, from whom Turcotte won the title, and Frankie Buff, strong 16O pounder who has been title- bound for two years will receive ths keenest of opposition from Dick Walsh, Joe Johnson and, Eddie Rahm, three New Workers whose Golden Glove and Hearts trophy tests in Gotham have stamped them as well able to give the local trio all the fight it is looking for in one evening. Turcotte and Johnson is marked for the main go, though the Ciarlo-Walsh number may well stead the thunder of the main event.
 Promising
 Aside from the Waterburv-N New York tangles, the writer wishes to point out the Irish Jc.lnny Hayes and Billy Nuncio number. Hayes, from Bridgeport has beaten Ciarlo while Nuncio has a win over Bobby Ivy of Hartford, state featherweight champ a year ago. 'Nuf said.
 Brooklyn's Willie White is down for a heavyweight duel with Eddie Budynkiewicz of Thompsonville in what should be a slam-bang affair, as will be Johnny Moraz's effort against Ken Reinhardt. Lou Mur- ray of Torrington and Johnny Par- ker of Thompsonvilel also meet in a heavy bout that may end in an early knockout, as both are very hard hitters.
 Announcer J. Gratland Freney will sound off the introductions after 8 little bell by Johnny (Split-second) Brickel. It looks like large evenA ing for fight fans.

BY ROBERT |. PALMER

All eight clubs staged a losing battle last Sunday against the oldest pitcher in the game, Jupe Pluvius, the weather man. Old Jupe was in rare form and washed out the Valley League slate as well as most of the other sandlot schedules hereabouts. AS a result these postponements will be pushed ahead and the teams will go on as if everything was in perfect harmony with the weather last week. This weeks slate.
 Bristol at Winsted (Saturday)
 Torrington at Oakville
 Waterbury at Litchfield
 Watertowp at Thomaston
 The first Valley League game in three seasons will finally get under way at the new Hemingway Fled in Watertown when the New City Boys Club will cross bats with the Oak vile team. Johnnie Jay of Chips Kemis will face the home club who will have Ray Dunn or Dennis ready for action. Torrington holds 8 5-3 win over Watertown while the Oak vile boys will be striving for their first win and should give Torrington 0 battle of 1t.
 The Bristol and Winsted en-
 counter which takes place Satur-
 day in the latter city should be
 the main go of the week. Both
 clubs went down to hair raising
 defeats in the opening games
 and should provide each other
 with an acid test. Winsted has
 signed a new pitcher to replace
 Dutchy Dayton, who's chucking
 lem over up in Salisbury while
 Charlie Wagner has Pottinger
 and Ferrera for mound duty.
 Watertown invades Thomaston to face Harry Lynch's hard hitting crew winners over Oakville two

Giants.
 The season ends and the next day he Is on his way to his country home. The season opens and he Is the first to report, in better shape than any rookie.
 For 10 years, come August 10th, Carl Hubbell has weaved the pat tern of his life from the strands of efficiency, accomplishment, and hu- mility.
 Tn that time he has won 196 major league baseball games for the Giants. He was first spotted in Houston by Giant scout, Dick Kin sella, who was there, not to spot talent, but to vote for Al Smith in the Democratic convention of 1928.
 Other pitchers have outdone Carl in the way of ballyhoo. but try and think of @ contemporary who can match records with him.
 am writing this story about Carl Hubbell because happened to stop and talk with Gus Mancuso, a catcher, before the Giants came with the Cubs yesterday. Hubbell was warming up and Mancuso. pointing to the lean and lanky Oklahoman, said:
 There's the damndest man in baseball. There never was one like him."
 Then Gus told me a few things about Hubbell.
 "Infielders have lost games for him by making the lousiest sort of I errors," Gus said, "but back in the clubhouse he never had a word to say. I have seen him pitch three and four hit games and lost them because we couldn't get him any runs. But he never showed any temper. Win or lose he always walks in, sits quietly in front of his locker, quietly dresses, and quietly goes home. And did you ever see him get sore at an umpire? No, you never did, and yet they have called thousand wrong on him. He just goes his own way, winning those 20 or more games each year. The greatest pitcher that ever lived, that's what Carl is."
 Of all the pitchers in the Ma tional league, Gus said, Hubbell has the profoundest knowledge of what rival hitters like and don't like. He never made note on this: carries 1t all in his head.
 "When they hit him, they really deserve those hits," Mancuso said, because he doesn't make a mistake on a pitch but once. Lemme ex- plain: Two years ago we are play ing the Phillies near the end of the season. We've got the pennant won. and Carl is working just to keep limbered up for the World Series. He has 'em shut out, and two are out in the ninth. This big Cr milli is up, think, and Carl has

New York, May l9.-(UP)-He wears, as Bugs Bear once said, the longest pair of short pants in the world.
 His left arm is abnornally twist ed from throwing that rare pitch, screwball.
 He never alibis. He never squawks. He never complains. He gets in no controversies. He never boasts.
 He's never i'll, never holdouts, never makes the headlines but for one reason-ball games won.

weeks ago in a one-sided battle. If Lefty Johnson is right, Freddy Fral- zer's club, not too strong in the hit ting department will find 1t mighty hard to dent home plate. Water. town has fine pitcher in George Grinvalsky, who turned in such a fine performance against Torrington. The rival catchers will be Zedgryn for Watertown and Taylor for the home team.
 Litchfield should have little trouble with St. Ann's of Waterbury, although the Frenchies have a repu- tation for knocking over the big fel- lows. However. their pitching will have to be better in order to stop Guy Zinser and his mates. Lee Porter and Fournier will be the op- posing pitchers.
 DOTS AND DASHES
 Harry Lynch has a nice looking first baseman In Georgie Kloss, former Thomaston High first sacker. Kloss played only three innings against Oakville, but gathered a double in his only appearance at the plate. .. There's enough room in the new Heminway field between the first base line and the fence which borders the road to lay out a football field. .. No fans are allowed on the field, foul or fair territory. There's a fence which separates the bleachers from the playing field. . The Oakville team is made up of a lot of relatives. There's father and son. three pairs of brothers, pair of cousins, and an uncle and nephew and all play but father who is coach of the club. Butchy Bourniyal, leading hitter of the St. Ann's club in the Parks league last season. will be on the shelf for . few weeks yet. The chubby batsmen was injured in the final hockey game of the season.
