 Dickey's Brother Rises
 Catcher George Willard Dickey, brother of the Yankees Bill, will be given a tryout by the Boston Red Sox this year. George batted only .251 with Portland last year but has excellent catching qualifications-a switch hitter, standing feet :.
 About the toughest job in base ball right now appears to be to snare a job in the Boston Red Sox's out- field The Sox have eight fiy-chasers on the roster, five of whom are of the stuff that stars are made of. The quintet conceded the best chance of sticking are the veteran Roger Cramer; Chet Morgan, ob- tained from Detroit; Leo Nonnen- kamp, a bench-warmer last year but an excellent prospect; Joe Vosmik, who batted .324 as Sox regular last season and Ted Williams, who batted .366 with Monneapolis last year and is an established favorite for the third spot. The others are Fabian Gaffke from Minneapolis, Alex Petrushkin from Rocky Mount and Stan Spence from Minneapolis.

BOROUGH NETMEN CALLED IRON MEN
Only Six Members Eligible, Yet Team Is Near
 League Top

Naugatuck, March 3.-The Nau- gatuck "Y" volley ball team is pull ing an "iron man" stunt this year It has only six top rank members available for play most of the time and yet it is near the top of the New England Volley Ball league.
 Last year with a larger squad, the team won the championship of this league. This year because some of its stars were unable to play in the early league games, it got off to a bad start but with a team composed of Fred Ashmore, Fred Baker, George Halloway, Carl Has. sell, Joe Smith and Joe Valinches, it has been winning steadily.
 It will play host to three teams, Bristol, Torrington and Pawtucket, in tourney to be played tomorrow afternoon at the local "Y". The pub- lie is invited.
 Recently the team won three matches in league games against Somerville and other high-ranking combines in the league and last week it won an exhibition round- rabin tourney in Bristol, with Bris- tol, Naugatuck, Manchester and Pitstfield, Mass, competing. The To- calls were awarded a plaque.
 Because Naugatuck started its winning streak late, it does not ap- pear as though it can finish at the top of the league this year, even if it wins all of its remaining games But this year there will be play off of leading teams to determine who will be the champion and it seems likely Naugatuck will bet into this, and thus stands good chance of winning again if its team can hold up under the strain of playing without reserves.
 Most of the other teams have four or five capable reserves but Nauga- tuck has to get along with only its six men this year. For this req son, it has not played many non- league games.

BOYD, COMISKEY DRAW ATTENTION
 AT MISC TONIGHT
Jersey Irishman vs Gene BOnin; Nathan Mann
 Meets Buddy Knox
BY LESLIE AVERY Limited Press Staff Correspondent

NOuhtcu NEcSS Otdn OOFrcSpOnuent)
 New York, March 3-(UP)-There will be quantity and perhaps some unexpected quality when an assort- ment of heavyweights pair of for 40 scheduled rounds of boxing in Madison Square Garden tonight.
 There are three 10-rounders, one six, and four on the card. Strange ly, two of the supporting bouts in- volving young Irishmen who threaten to overshadow the main event.
 Jack Dempsey's white hope" pro- tege, Wild Bill Boyd, will make his New York debut in the 10-round semi-final against lanky Jim Rob- inson of Philadelphia. Patrick Ed ward Comiskey, 1-year-old knockout sensation from Paterson, N. J., is booked for his first six-round start against Gene Bonin of New Haven Conn.
 Important
 The fates of Boyd and Comiskey seem more important than anything that might occur in the 10-round main event sending Buddy Knox oi Dayton, O., against Nathan Mann of New Haven. Knox is a good boy but he failed to display the punch ing power necessary to get anywhere in this game when he beat big Chuck Crowell of Los Angeles in his first New York appearance several weeks ago. Mann is staging a come. back, but he hasn't done anything to earn challenger's rating since he was knocked out by champion Joe Louis and Tony Galento.
 Dempsey will be Boyd's second and will try to coach him to his 18th knockout victory in 25 profess sional starts. Dempsey also has $1 ,000 riding against $500 that Wild Bill cops the duke against Robin son, who has looked good in spots but seems uncertain of himself. The Philadelphian was stopped by Crow ell in his last New York fight, but he still has the punch to give Boyd a going over.
 Young Comiskey has taken the eye of all the eastern fight writers. He packs what many believe to be the hardest right hand wallop in the business. He has had only II profess sional fights, all four-rounders, and 10 of them ended in knockouts. He won the decision in the other. His opponent. Bonin, is rugged battler

Borough Five Invades Wallingford to Face

Naugatuck, March 3.-The Sons of American Legion basketball team of this borough will invade Wal lingford tonight in an attempt to upset the leaders of the Sons of Legion Basketball league in the sec- ond Legion district.
 The locals, participating in the league for the first time, took un- disputed possession of second place Wednesday night when they trimmed the Yankee Division team of New Haven 46-38 at Polish Mili- tary hal There. They had been tied with this combine for second place. Connolly wiht 16 points and Kiely with 4points starred for the lo- calls.
 Wallingford is as yet undefeated Naugatuck hopes to break their record tonight. The local team has won six and lost two of its league games and the local Legion post is proud of the showing of the boys here.

 New York, March 3-CUP)-All the news from the Cincinnati Reds camp seems to be good. Twelve of the IA pitchers on the roster are feet in height or taller.
 Lonnie Frey, although only %, is preparing for his seventh major league season. Pitcher Bucky Wal ters, one of the Reds main hopes for 1889, batted .376 as a third base man in the Pacific Coast league in 1883, driving in 92 runs in 91 games. Dick West, one of the better rockies, hit 9 homers in 43 games for Dover in the Eastern Shore league last year and compiled a batting average of ABA.
 When Outfielder George Selkirk digs in his cleats for an attempted comeback with the New York Yam kees and shot at his old post in left field, he'll have at least one ar- dent rooter-an Indian named George Selkirk on the Chippewa reservation at Cass Lake, Minn.
 Pitcher P0led Long One
 Bob Gardner, rookie pitcher who won 10 games with Salisbury of the Eastern Shore league last year, col lected only seven hits but one was the longest four-bagger ever hit in the circuit.
 Rookie Pitcher Kirby Higbe, listed as a coming star by the Chicago Cubs, led the Southern Association in strikeouts last season with 157 and in 1887 topped 3-1 league pitch CTS in that department with 257. :.
 Outfielder Jimmy Gleason, sold to the Chicago Cubs by the Newark Bears, helps his family operate a largs inn just outside of Kansas City during the off season while his teammate, Shortstop Dick Bartell, recently of the Giants, spends his spare time building and improving radio equipment-he's a licensed amateur radio operator

On the other side of the picture
there is sure to be a decided and

tax collections.
In round figures, here's how the
matter of collections for general fund
accounts showed as of May "a.
Inheritance. taxes to that date
amounted to $226,OOO, nearly, as
compared with only slightly more
than $4,000 in May of last year.
Pr ivilege taxes maintained a

ping only $4,000 from the approx
mately $167 900 collected during the

Franchise taxes jumped up about
$4,000 with $157,OOO as compared
with $126,000 last May.
An 100000 increase in sales tax
collections for the month is indicated
by $920,00O as of the Oath against
$4,000 last year. Beverage taxes,
principally because of the new crown
tax method of payment (Which
means payment in advance of dis
tribution) went up $121, 900 from
$146,OOO to $267,OOO. Income taxes
dropped sharply from $368,OOO to

The Fundamental Issue.
Basically that doesn't settle the

How did F. D. know that big bust

Well, it doesn't matter how he

Evidently he did know it.
It's immaterial which is right and
which is wrong. He had 'em assessed
respectively correctly.
There's a lot of big business talk
to the effect that his reasoning be-

Scarcely kindly word for the
chief executive was heard at the
Commerce Chambers affair. Scarcely
an unlxindly one was heard for him
at the Retail federation's. Politicians,
who notice such things, are some
what puzzled to account for the con-
traSt.
The Chamber and the Federation
both consist of businessmen. To be
sure, the Chambers members, on an
average, are bigger businessmen
than the Federation's. A few mer-
chant princes do, indeed, belong to
the federation, but the rank and file
comparatively are smalliSh. The
Chamber is made up largely of mo-
guls-bankers, manufacturers and
Jobbers. Nevertheless, they're all
businessmen. Has the New Deal been
a good thing for relatively little busi-
ness, but bad thing for big busi-
ness? That's what analysts would
ike to determine, but they haven't
succeeded in doing it yet

For one thing, the President didn't
aItend the Chambers blowout. The
CnamDer wanted him to do so and
TO furnish it with some oratory, but
ne excused himself rather curtly.
Inc Chamber took this as a snub,
whlch probably it was intended to
oe. Maybe it was natural in the
Chamber to be resentful. If that was
II, II was good and plenty resentfuI.
On the opposite hand, when the
Federation sent an invitation to F
d., he accepted it cordially. It was
equally natural, on the Federation's
part, to be appreciative.
All the same, that's on1v 2 s,,ner-
ficial explanation.
