EDWARD M'COUCH
 NAVY HONOR MAN
Watertown Youth Brought to Front of Newport,
 K. l., Company

Edward Marcus McGough, appren- tice seaman, U. s. Navy, has been designated as honor man for Com- pany Four, list battalion, 2nd Regi- ment, U. s. Naval Training sta- ton, Newport R. I.
 Born at Watertown, Conn.,, Decern- Der 90, 1917. McGough attended the public schools of Watertown uri- til during his second year in high school, he decided to follow the sea. He then went to the Merchant Ma rine school at New York where he completed the four months ground work" in preparation of becoming a cadet. After his preliminary train- ing he spent several months at sea as e deck cadet of the merchant marine service. During this time he investigated the navy as 6 career and finding the opportunity for ad- vancement to his satisfaction he ap- piled to the recruiting station at Brooklyn, N. r., and was accepted for enlistment, but his application ard papers were transferred to the Waterbury recruiting station, where he was placed on the waiting list for enlistment.
 July 27 this year he received his call and became 6 member of the service that he had made his choice. He was transferred immediately up- on enlistment to the U. S. Naval Training Station, Newport, R. l., where he commenced his training in naval education.
 During McGough's time spent at the Naval Training station, he has shown himself to be a good infiu- ence on his shipmates, neat, prompt and willing to obey orders, and ale though he had no previous military service or training. his previous training as cadet in the merchant marine service stood him in good stead in assiinilating the instruc- tons given him, and bringing him to the front of his company to such extent as to be seelected as honor man.
 His mother, Mrs. Mary Agnes Mo- Cough, resides at Watertown, and when he arrives home to spend his graduation leave with her will feel justly proud of this excellent start that her son has made as a nem- Der of the United States navy.
 His three brothers. Martin, Henry, and Richard McGough. were at one time In the naval service.

Dauber Seems Worthy
 Rival Of Stagehand
according to present plans.
 Reported as Non Starter


 An unofficial report says that Dauber may pass up the Derby III favor of the Belmont Stakes, a mile and one-half event to be run at Belmont Park in June.
 AS 2-year-old Dauber's most important of three victories in 15 starts was dash of furlongs at Belmont Park, when he came from behind to beat Bourbon King by half length in the fast time Of 1:10. In his next engagement, the Futurity, also at Belmont, the colt ran an even race to finish fifth. 6 lengths back of Menow as the lat ter set a new worlds record of 1:l5 1-5 for the 1-2 furlongs over the straightaway.
 Dauber completed his juvenile campaign by finishing third in the Pimlico Futurity, beaten 5 lengths by Nedayr and Jacola. Then came the sale to duPont, who outbid the Millsdale Stables in a spirited auc- ton.
 The colts breeding for distance running is quite apparent, as Pen- nant has sired such capable reuters as Equipose, Bunting and Rolled Stockings. His dam, in addition to being a daughter of Man O'War, is out of Waterblossom, which also produced Aquastella. Both Water terblossom and Aquastella won the Alabama Stakes, which, at mile and a quarter, is one of Americas S important tests for 3-year-old fillieS.

CITY S0FTBA ALL. TO BE. ORGANIZED SOON
Park Department Moves to Interest Unemployed of
 Waterbury

A city-wide twilight softball league for Senior teams will be or ganized this week according to the plans of Bill Derwin, assistant sup ervisor of recreation in the park department. Softball has taken such hold among the older fellows that MT. DerWin feels that the time is ripe for the organization of such circuit. It will be formed along the lines of the City Amateur, Public Parks, City Recreation, and other hardball leagues with officers, etc.
 Baseball Out?
 With the prospects none too bright at present for an Industrial Base ball League due to the unemploy- ment situation, MT. DerWin plans to use all five of the city park fields one evening 8 week for the softbail leaguers. We are taking steps to- wards the organization of SoftbalF' said the park recreation official to- day, "in an effort to give the hun- dreds of older fellows now unem- ployed, something to do in their leisure time." He added After get ting a line on the fellows who are crowding the parks every afternoon looking for little recreation along sport lines, I think that a softball circuit will absorb some of the hun dreds who cannot make the hard ball teams"
 Meeting Wednesday
 A meeting of all softball team managers interested in the forming of City Amateur Softball League to play twilight games will be held at the Chase Park House WedneS- day night at 7:30. Officers will be elected, schedule drawn up, and play begun as soon as daylight sav- ing goes into effect.
 The City League, Public Parks League, City Recreation and several other leagues were originally organ ized by the park department and then carried on by the teams them selves. The City-Wide Softball League will be organized with the same thought in mind.

 AGAINST YANKEES

Boston, April 18.-(UP)-Manager Joe Cronin of the Boston Red Sox today named his youngest rookie pitcher, Jim Bagby, Jr., to open the American league season against the worlds champion New York Yan- kees at Fenway park today.
 With this opening series with the Yankees going four games" said Cronin, we'll be in nice spot 10 deliver an early knockout in this opener. We'll then have our big three, Grove, Wilson and Marcum to toss against them in the three other games"
 The Boston Bees, who lost the final of the city series to the Sox 2-1 at National league field Sester- day, left for New York this after noon. Casey Stengel selected Dan MacFayden to pitch against the Na- tional league champions.

TODANS SPORT APARADE. Il AAARE'%&h9Al
BY HENRY McLEMORE

United Press Staff COrreSpondent)
 New York, April 18.-(UP)-The managers migraine, meaning Jer- ome Herman Dean, has been sold by the St. Louis Cardinals to the Chi cago Cubs. Officials of both clubs said in return for Dean, the Car dinals received pitchers Davis and Shoun, Outfielder Stainback, and an undisclosed sum of money.
 Now I happen to know that isn't all there was to the deal. Before Charley Grimm, manager of the Cubs, would agree to thetrade he
 had 1t clearly stipulated that Fran kie Frisch, Cards manager. would ship to him, by fast freight, all the paraphernalia a man who manages Dean gradually gathers about him.
 Ice Man FriSch
 Frisch has had charge of Dean ever since he came out of Texas some years ago. In that time Frank Frisch has spent hundreds of dollars on supplies to enable him to with sand the Dizzy ones antics. For ex- ample, Frisch has the largest single collection of headache ice packs in America. There was a time when Frisch had to keep so much ice on his head to keep himself cool that there was movement to hold the winter Olympics on top of his head. Another important item is a 1OO- gallon demijohn of second-gueSs an- titoxin, which, if properly admlnls- istered takes much of the sting out of having a pitcher tell you how to run your ball club. Then there is the carton of tablets which Frisch found invaluable when Dizzy would refuse to catch the bus for an exhibition game in which he was scheduled to pitch. Three of these and a man. ager just settles into q sort of coma and pitches a fellow named Willie or Bill or Gus.
 Other items in the Frisch supply ! includes capsules to be taken when Dean complains of sore arm at l2 noon on the day he has been adVer- tised to work, and a 12-pound ham mer for personal head knocking when Dean suddenly decides 1t would be fun, not only to pitch but to make all putouts at first base himself.
 For Grimm's sake it is to be hoped that nothing delays the package n transit. Grimm is known as the happiest and most carefree of all baseball managers. He loves to phlnk gay tunes on his banjo and sing lifting songs under the shower It would be a shame to see such a man lay aside his banjo, abandon his joyful songs, and lapse into melancholia.
 It will be interesting to watch Frisch's reactions to his release from managing the mercurial Dizzy. l was talking to an eminent psychologist today, and as he bandaged the foot of an injured collie Che does veter- mary work on the side) he said that he would not be surprised to hear that Frisch was unable to keep his balance for a week or two.
 Don't be shocked" the psycholo- gist said, brushing flea off hls wrist, 'if Frisch starts stopping bircs and sings to them, gambols through parks, barefooted, playing a lute, or writes bok of poetry, even."
 My own guess is that he will dc none of these things, but that te runs the grave risk of catching the bends" from having had the pres. sure removed from him too quickly. i Copyright, 1888, by United Press)

New York, April 18. - (UP) - Dauber, acquired for $29,00O in the O. V. Whitney dispersal sale last November, will be William du Pont, Jr's., candidate in the forthcoming Kentucky Derby, if the master of Foxcatcher Farms is represented III the 64th running of Americas pre- mier horse race.
 Dauber, chestnut colt by Pen nant-Ship of War, by Man O War, gave Earl Sande's Stagehand reason to respect his route-running ability in finishing second to the futures Derby favorite in the Santa Anita Derby last February.
 Off that race alone Dauber proved worthy of consideration as an opponent to any of the seasons Swear odds, Stagehand's phenom- enal success notwithstanding
 Made Grand Finish
 In the mile ana furlong West Coast Derby, Dauber received none the best of it at the start. He broke slowly and perforce was outrun for the first half mile. Closing with a burst of speed behind Stagehand's mighty rush in the homestretch, Dauber all but looked the Sickle colt in the eye at the finish. He was beaten only half length, but eagerly fought it out to the end.
 While the writer did not witness the running of the race, he was reliably informed that Jockey Maurice Peters rode the colt de- spite wrist injury suffered before the race.
 Dauber also finished behind Stagehand in a mile race at the California track. Both colts closed with determination on that occas- ion, finishing lengths apart.
 Dauber's last race was the Santa Anita Derby. He will make his next start in the Chesapeaxc Stakes, at Havre de Grace, Mi, on April "A,
