Ioe Blum Wins Title

Uncle conquered Nephew when
 Joe Blum forced Nookie Stokes to
 dip his colors. Nookie started off
 in good shape by taking the first game but when the old timer warm-
 ed up to his task, he left Nookie in the rear holding the well known
 sack. Joe has another match on { this week with a sand relative for
 supremacy of the family and we think he is in for shellacking.
 With Win Reynolds, Jack Heffer-
 nan and Charlie Deegan getting a
 little help from Howard Humphries
 and Fred Drummond, Construction A whitewashed the District Engin-
 eerS.
 Jack Roberts bunch managed to take two points from Test to stay in tie for second play with Ben- jamin Arbutus Goldstein's Collec-
 tors.
 Jack Murphy's Servicemen had the Skids put under them for three i, points by the Accountants who l worked up to within striking dist ance of third place. Mediocre bowl | ing featured this match with all 1 rolling far below their average.
 Harry Huey featured with 79 in his
 last game.
 Meter A took three points from I Gene O'Neil's Meter Readers who apparently were resting in antici- patton of their match with the Col l lectors. Looking at their scores, they must to have rested well.
 Meter B handicapped by the en- forced absence of Charles Light! ming" Baxter fell before the Store l men for three points and when we
 say fell, we mean fell.
 The wind-up will without 8 doubt
 be a slambang affair for the ,sched- ule maker has seen fit to have the l teams pair up to settle questions of
 department superiority. For instance the two Construction teams meet l as will the two Sales, the two Meter teams, Dispatchers and Production, I Meter Readers and Coilectors-you l get the idea, the natural rivals will
 meet.
 On Saturday afternoon, March 11th, at 300 p. m sharp, the mem I bers of the league will hold their
 annual sweepstakes at Sena's alleys. A fine list of prizes will be awarded to the bowlers with the best scores
 with and without handicaps. En- tries have been coming in fast and c is hoped to have the 100 members

STATE ELECTIONS
 SPLIT DEMOCRATS
Evidence Is Noticeable at
 Meeting of Young Demo- ! crats in Bridgeport

Indications that the split in the Democratic party in the state that came to public attention in the uIl- successful fight made by Herman P Koppleman anl Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone for places on the Democratic ticket last fall is still an important issue, came to the fore at the annual convention of the Con- necticut Young Democrats held in Bridgeport, over the weekend.
 Thomas McDonough of New Brit ain, one of the defense attorneys in the Waterbury conspiracy trial and who made fighting speech against domination by the bosses on Koppleman's behalf at the state convention in Groto last fall told the young Democrats ito take over control of the Democratic party"
 His remarks were made in the presence of United States Senator Francis T. Maloney and State Chairman J. Francis Smith. The fact that Smith was present aroused considerable interest among the delegates who expected him to de- fend himself. McIoonough added a charge that the "New Deap' was re- pudiated in the last state conven- tion"
 Chairman Smith made no motion to take the floor, instead Senator Maloney replied to McDonoagh's charges by making a plea for party harmony to the young Democrats.
 The young Democrats who elect ed Robert Renton of Norwalk as state president, sidestepped direct endorsement of President Roosevelt for 6 third term but adopted a reso- lution indicating sympathy with the third term movement.
