THREE-WAY TIE
 LOOMS ON HILL
ReymOnds Beaten By Baldwin Preps; Tribes
 Scare COmmunitys

Necessity of at least g two-cor- nered playoff for title to the second round of the Washington Park Community House Basketball league was created last night when the Community club defeated the Trib- unes 35-30 and the Baldwin Props knocked off the Reymond Hillies, 37-31.
 Triple Tie?
 Both winning teams completed their regular seasons last night They stand now with six victories and one defeat each in the second round. That the playoff will as- sume a three-cornered complex is almost certain, for the Welles will finish up their season Friday night against the Robins. The Welles now have a record of five victories and one defeat.
 The Community club was sur prised in that it had to extend it. self to the limit to knock off the TribuneS. The score was 25-25 at the beginning of the last stanza, but yeoman work by Damelio and Phe- Ian put the game on ice.
 The Props had little difficulty in squelching the first round cham pions, the Hillies, in spite of a last minute rally put on by the latter. The Hillies, although winning the first round, have failed to show any semblance of class in the second round conquest. The scores:

W ood War For Third Place In Dusty Loop Tonight

With the Industrial League bowl ing championship again "sewed up" by Chase Metal, tonight's games will develop a battle for second and third places in the league standing which will eliminate with the an nual banquet at Chase Country club on Saturday night, March 26th, at which time prizes, both verbal and material will be awarded the teams and certain players in the league.
 Tonight, the rolling for third place features three game test be- tween Waterbury Manufacturing and Ingersoll, the latter now third but apt to be knocked out should Mfg. sweep 'em three straight. Far rel Foundry has fond hopes of up- setting American Brass, holders of the runner-up spot while Chase with nothing to worry about may drop a game or two to the Scovill rollers. Jack Raynor, Willie Tato and mates are six games up on the nearest competitor which is enough to settle the crown in their favor once again. French Manufacturing vs. Blake and Johnson should be another good match while the Naugatuck Chem ical and Waterbury Clock may also bring about a surprise or two.

PETER AND PAUL
 LEAD PAROCHIAL

St. Francis Xavier's basketball squad from Washington Hill seems to be slated for the dubious honor of creating a tie for the leadership of the Parochial league, though the combine that was tops" in the league during the days of Father Butler has not been much of a threat in recent seasons. Yesterday, the St. Peter and Paul outfit from the far east end, coached by Ray Wrenn took the league lead at the expense of St. Francis by 14-1O margin in a fairly close game and the Sacred Hearts may go into a tie by taking St. Francis tomorrow in a postponed game, unless the x boys can spring the surprise of the sea- son. However, everything points to a playof for the Catholic cham pionship by the two east end teams. Larkin and Carroll were the high pointers yesterday for the opposing teams. Summary:

 Sarashota, Fla, March 15.-(UP) eff you don't believe that time is khe great healer and general all- around wonder worker, then you should come to this little city horse- Ghoed around one of the worlds aoveliest bays, and take a look at Robert Moses Grove.
 Robert Moses used to be the fire baller of the Philadelphia Athletics .-in more ways than one. That was back in the days when his hair was raven black and he had a temper to match. That was back in the days when the only thing sharp CT than his curve was his tongue. He was heller, for fair, was the old Robert Moses.
 He lived alone and he liked 1t. He wanted no mans conversation, no mans counsel, and no mans company. Reporters shied away from him as if he were 8 typhoid Tommy, and his fellow players did likewise, especially when he had Rost game. He really was a bad 'un in that dressing room when he had lost game that few more hits would have won. It was not uncommon for him to tear off his uniform, handful at a time, and scatter the flannel confetti about the room. His abuse started with the bat boy and ended with the club owners.
 But those days are gone. The years have melloWed Robert Moses Grove. As his fast ball slowed down, so did his temper. He takes his de- feats philosophically now, and is the most patient and understanding of all the Boston Red Sox pitchers when weak support loses ball games.
 He isn't Toner" anymore. He seeks company. He talks. He plays at games, and even the freshest rookie finds in Grove an under standing helper. He lends his car, his fishing tackle.
 sat around the lobby of the Sarasota Terrace hotel last night and watched the Rex Sox after a day of practice. I scarcely could believe my eyes as watched Grove, once the doureSt of men, mix and mingle with his fellow players, tell stories, and take the lead in the horseplay that is so much part of baseball camps.
 I asked Joe Cronin, Sox manager, how he accounted for the change. T can't explain it, but he's a swell one to have on team" Joe answered.
 I asked Bill Cunningham, Boston newspaperman, if he had an ex- plapation.
 Nope" Bill said, T haven't. And I have given it much thought.
 "He just seemed to get gray hair and gumption all at once. For which we can all be thankful"
 Grove has been around the mai ora quite a spell, now, but today he
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-03-15

looks like a 20-game pitcher He's faster, keener, and in better shape than he has been in four years.
 He says he owes it all to his legs. A mistinguette of the maj ors, so to speak.
 Grove believes a pitcher is as good as his legs. When he comes to training camp he doesn't throw bali for two weeks. Just spends his time in far corner of the out field, practicing sprint starts. The first time saw him I thought Glenn Cunningham had been signed by the Sox. Down sprint. Run one hundred yards. Down sprint. Run one hundred yards. Over and over he followed this routine.
 He works harder than the rockies. Come to think of it, that may ex- plain why he pitches better than the rookies-even after all these years of yanking back that left arm, coiling it, and letting it fly.

Stubbs May Get

Boston, March 15-UP)- William J. Bingham, Harvard athletic director, refused to comment today on a report that Joseph Stubbs, varsity hockey coach, would be asked to re- sign his position unless he withdiaws voluntarily.
 Criticism of the former Harvard player, who graduated in 1920 and became head coach seven years later, came to a head yesterday when the Har- yard Crimson, undergraduate daily, charged that Coach Stubbs failed to control some of the members of his team" and that "the team trained at the Ritz and the COpley," Bos- ton hotels.

BELLUS AND KLICK
 CLASH THURSDAY

New Haven, March 15 - Frankie Klick, the California clouter who lifted the junior lightweight crown from Kid Chocolate, whipped Tony Canzoneri and drew with Barney Ross, may receive the surprise of his life when he climbs into the Arena ring Thursday night to fight John- ny Bellus in ten round bout.
 Bellus, New Haven boy, has been undefeated in the lightweight ranks since the early days of his professional career. Campaigning in New York during the past two years, New Haven's Johnny has met and defeated the topnotchers in the business and now ranks fifth among the worlds lightweights. Bellus is gunning for win over Klick so he can challenge Lou Ambers for the title.
 Looks Good Thursday nights undercard promises action galore. Johnny Mack, undefeated New Britain light weight, will meet Sedgewick Harvey, the undefeated New York light weight, in the top six. Julie Kogan, local Hill Hebrew who is undefeat- ed in pro ranks, fights a sizzling re- turn bout with Joe DeJessas, clever Porta Rican.
 Frankie Young, idol of downtown, takes on Francis Carter, clever Wor- cester walter, in the third six of the evening.
 Cullen "Spotty" Spottsworth, Yale Divinity Schools fighting parson will clash with Red Kelly, of Willi- mantle, in the opening four. Spotty won his first professional bout downing Joe Washnic of Windsor with ease. A former Miss. State box ing captain, Spottsworth has won 20 straight bouts.

NORTH BINDERS WIN

The North End Tigers easily de- feated the Tech Big Five at the Y hut Saturday night by a 32-19 score. The game was close for three quarters when Coach Ralph Gulia- nos cohorts scored 10 points in the last period to 1 for the Big Five. Tom Santalucia featured for the North End aggregation with points while Bannon was high man for the Big Five. This game marked the end of the Tiger slump and primed the ME-. boys for the St Joe's game. Pete Toilette handled the game well.

Blessed Sacraments came up all even in their basketball series with the Columbian Squires when they won a 34-25 decision last night at Kingsburg school at the end of four sizzling periods of play in which Kalosky and Foster stood out for the winners and Layons for the Squires, coached by Ned Farley. The teams will probably meet again in a third and final game before the sea- son closes. Summary:

Smoke Rings from the Fish and Game Smoker-There'S always one nice feature about these affairs, it brings out the real sportsmen of the town-the old timers who gather in perspective corners to ex- change yarns of the days gone by Ex-Governor Charles Temple ton and Joe Sugrue, Waterbury $ famous lightweight, and only boxer ever to defeat Benny Leonard took home the yarn Wrangling honors. :. Of the six or seven bouts only one was worthy of mention. The semi final between Pat Palomba and Al Daddona. The boys are the best of friends but you would never know it the minute they entered that ring. Both of them took plenty of hard high ones.
 Benny Marcoux was probably the busiest man in the hall wait ing on the hot dog and hamburg customers and Rocca Mara and Ted Harty were kept on run con- tinually =.

 The Oakville Dukes, only loca entry in Georgie Dillon's State wide basketball tourney will meet the Bloomfield Speedboys this Satur- day in a first round pairing. The Dukes put two more victories ovel on the right side of the ledger last week by virtue of wins over the Bunker Hill Big Five and the Wes Side A. c. The triumph over tht Big Five was rout the scoring being 36-14 but Lou Pierce's charg' es were somewhat pressed to whil the West Siders 26-19.
