By Waterbury People in

New Haven, Sept. "a - Scores Of
summer homes and cottages owned
by Waterburians along Connect
cuts east and west shores remained
only in the form Of splintered wood
as a result Of Wednesdays hurri-
cane and tidal wave. Many others
have been badly damaged, with
roofs and sidewalks having been rip
ped of, with furniture ruined by
flood waters and with foundations
undermined.
The total loss for Waterbury
owned property at Connecticut
beaches will mount to many thou
sands Of dollars. An estimate Of
the total damage Is impossible, so
great was the havoc wrought by the
worst storm in the states history.
Milford Devastated
At Milford, where many Water
bury residents have summer places
at the many beaches, the wind and
tide struck with devastating fury.
The same was true Of the east shore
where palatial homes at Madison,
Branford, Guilford and other towns
were struck by the storm.
Reports yesterday that looting
had begun brought prompt action
by authorities at points all along
the coast, Motorists were halted and
made to identify themselves. No one
was allowed to proceed to the
beaches unless he could identify
himself satisfactorily and show that
he had necessary business.
Bay View Ripped Up
At Bay View, Milford, perhaps the
most popular shore resort for Wa
terburians, O dozen cottages were
smashed into kindling wood and
many others seriously damaged.
Waterbury people who were at the
beach during the hurricane, de-

program of preliminary bouts,
starring such ruffians as Jack

Gives Up
TWisted Knee Bans
SQbin'S Net PLau

NEW YORK, July 13 G.N.sO.
The most talked about young
Davis Cup prospect Of 1887, %,
year-old Wayne Sabin, sixth ma.
tional star from Portland, Ore, to-
day announced himself out of the
tennis picture for the rest Of the
year.
"A twisted knee suffered in
the semifinals of the national
indoor championships against
Frank Bowden last March has
practically Shelved me for the
season." said Sabin, who shot'up
suddenly as a doubles star last
year.
Although ranked only seven.
teenth nationally at that time, he
showed so much class that Walter
L. Pate took him along to Europe
as an alternate on the 1887 Davis
Cup squad. He went as insurance
against Gene Mako going off form
in the doubles.
The Washington times., 1938-07-13

For the first time in three
years, Ruffing got off to a
running start last spring. He
was a holdout in 1886 and
not report until May. Even
so he turned in his 20 wins
and for that he was paid a
full seasons salary, although
again last year when he did
he had been docked about
$1,000 for checking in late.
Last spring Ruffing again
baked at terms. He &C
cepted the clubs last offer
in time to train at St. Peters
burg. His 20 game season
won him a contract for
$4,000. Now Charley is de-
termined to make himself
worth $25,000 to Col. Jake
Rupert next year.
