The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-09

Two games are scheduled for Full ton Park and one game for Hamil- ton Park in the weekly Italian American league baseball games.
 At 1:30 up at Fulton Park the Pontes and Fratellanza cross bats in the opening contest of the after noon. The Pontes have won two games to date and lost one while on the other hand the Fratellanza have dropped two straight loop tilts. The Pontes are favoriteS in this game and should come through with their third victory. The Frats may show some new faces tomorrow in their lineup and If they do they should not be overlooked. Bill Bel lotti will pitch for the Pontes with either Joe (Tony) Renaldi or Henry Santopietro doing the catching. For the Frats Lefty" Latino will be Johnny DiLeo's choice with "Gabby" Gambino behind the bat.
 In the o'clock game scheduled for Fulton Park the Aviglianese, de- lending champs, meet the Knights of Sicily. The Knights of Sicily, new team in the circuit, are not very strong but seen to have a trou- blesome ball team. The Aviglianese should win this game because they have been together for four years and really have a top-notch ball team. Danny Briotti, playing coach for the Knights of Sicily, stated that his team will be out there tomor- row with one thing in mind and that is to beat the Aviglianese. Ci- priano will pitch and Coviello will catch for the Aviglianese. For the Knights of Sicily Malano will pitch with Babe" Heeney doing the catching.
 George Greece will umpire the two games at Fulton Park and Pete Polletto will score.
 The feature game of the afternoon is scheduled for Hamilton Park at 4 o'clock on diamond number 2. The two teams that will engage in this game are the league leading Civilta Progresso and the second place Lourdes. For weeks Johnny ASsetta and Jimmy Biano have been argu- ing over which has the better team. Tomorrow should decide which team is the better. Reports have it that Bianco is trying to get hold of pretty good pitcher for this all im- portant game. The Civilta are un- defeated to date and are expected to receive their real test tomorrow. Jimmy Longo or Al Scacco will pitch for the Civilta Progresso with Tony De Santis behind the bat It is not known at this writing who will pitch for the Lourdes. Jimmy Matrillo will catch for the Lourdes. Charles Gerace will umpire and Tony Dileo will be the scorer. Probable lineups of the Civilta and Lourdes game: Civilta Progresso: D. Maronelli 2b, Pruscino 3b, Palo ss, Guliano 1b, Festa If, Bernacci of, De Santis c, Feola If, Longo, Scacco p.
 Lourdes: A. Jacovino 3b, D. Lom- bardi If, J. Lombardi 2b, Martrello c, H. Jacovino of. Porta 1b, Fisher ss, B. Lombardi If, Sandrea p.

Of Action Sunday
 For Local BaseballerS

The Public Park League will pick an all-star team and try to book a game with the Litchfield Cowboys in order to increase the funds of the league.
 Liberty Stars have proven the team to be beaten in the Public Park League by winning its third straight game Sunday over the Aviglianese. Manager Ercoli has strengthened his club by adding Mobile and Ella as they will at tempt to beat the Blessed Sacra- ments, last years champions this Sunday at Fulton Park.
 Joe Cavanaugh's Blessed Sacra- ments which have won two out of three games to date has added much strength to his club and you can be sure that the Liberty Stars and Blessed Sacraments will be an interesting game to watch.
 Fred Jacovino who has taken over Smokey Joe Palladinos job, has strengthened his club considerably by adding Rinaldi, H. Jacovino, and Sodana to his roster.
 Manager Cleary seems to have trouble getting the Sts. Peter and Paul club organized. Poor baseball has caused them many defeats in which they should be victories, but as the league progresses you will find them playing much better brand of baseball because Cleary will certainly put his foot down and see that they do.
 Erratic fielding has caused the Aviglianese to be in second division. They get splendid pitching but the team behind them boots the ball in opportune moments and if they should continue this, the manager will make some drastic changes be- cause he wants to show the public that he has a ball club.
 Waterville has had an unfortun- ate beginning, but manager Ryan has added a few players in order to shake of the slump as you know. He wants to show the Waterville rooters better team.

Today's Sport
 Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE Limited Press Staff Correspondent

Philadelphia June eEquippeo with a matching set of IA note books and pencil with a backspin eraser, Jimmy Thomson made his debut as a newspaper man here in the first round of the national open golf championship
 When Thomson, one of the games greatest players, unfortunately faii- ed to qualify for the open, the Philadelphia Inquirer gave him a long term contract of three days as reporter, and assigned him to cover the tournament. Thomson leaped to his task with the enthus- iasm of mouse attacking a cat, and until he became hopelessly entang- led in hanging clause in his story late in the afternoon, shamed veter- an sports writers by his vigor and nose for news.
 He was the first reporter in the press headquarters, showing up shortly before breakfast time. With his desk as practice tee and his typewriter substituting for his set of clubs, he sat down and began pracsicing. For 30 minutes he bang ed out long descriptive sentences, crisp particle chips, hooked a few adverb approaches, and finished with beautiful series of personal pronoun puts. He kept his head on the difficult capital letters. His only real sign of weakness was an inabir- ity to keep his left arm straight when reaching for the margin re- lease and backspacer.
 But Thompson couldn't hol d to his fine practice form when the tourna- ment started and he began writing in earnest. He scored a par on his first paragraph but ran into trouble on his second and found himself buried in a patch of typewriter rough that looked like this:
 Vetaoin $$$$$ shrdlu 85SsII ???? $$$$$$" w
 It looked like a pickup and qualification for Thomson of the Inquirer at this point, but using a wedge eraser, and taking a divot of paper the size of a postcard, he banked his way out. He followed this with an inflnitive that split the pin, and turned the first sheet only two over par. He again ran into diff ficulty shortly after this when one of his sentences fell into an un- playable lie in parenthesis, but he recovered with a beautifully written purple patch.
 Thomson was very popular with his fellow reporters until he violated one of the unwritten codes of the golf writing business. With the noon day sun at the hottest, Thompson set out to follow some of the nat cheS.
 When word reached the press tent that Jimmy was not only following a match, but was seen taking notes as he truged uphil on a long, par five hole, 1t was suggested that he be barred from the tent. Only his ignorance of the code which frowns on reporters following match in the sun, prevented his complete ostracism.
 To show that he was sorry, and eager to get back in the good graces of the other reporters. Thomson wore his hat at rakish angie for the rest of the day.
 Tonight Jimmy, speaking from the corner of his mouth, said he planned to atten one or two good i've alarm fires, look in on the morgue. call the White House to see if any news was breaking, and finally, bite a dog at Broad and Market streets.

Naugatuck, June 9-The All-Nau- gatuck baseball team will start its season tonight, meeting the strong Overlook A. c. of Waterbury, con- tender for the Waterbury Amateur league crown. The game will be played at Recreation field and a large attendance is expected.
 Johnny White, manager of the locals, has augmented the strength of his team by addition of players from the state professional league. Last season the locals had fine record, seven victories and one de- feat and it seems as If they may duplicate that mark this year.

 The game tonight will start at 6:15 sharp and players are asked to be on hand at 5:30 for battery and fielding practice.

Experts have found the best stance for the long iron is slight ly open one. The left foot is drawn back from the line of play. @
 The long iron is full swing and like other strokes the left hand and arm dominate the backswing and the downswing.
 The right hand comes into the shot about 8 foot behind the ball and hits against the left hand.
 Right wrist under the club on the follow-through gives more loft and less run on the ball, for a quick stop on the green.

 Women Win, Lose,

Mrs. R. s. Patton, Jr., of Hart. ford, medalist of the 22nd annual tournament of the Connecticut Wo- mems Coli Association, and a pub- lie choice to contest for the cham pionship with Mrs. Hazel Martelle of Hartford, was eliminated on the 18th green yesterday by Mrs. M. L. Hit of Shenecossett in which the major surprise of the meet was re- corded and preventing an all-Hart- ford finale. Mrs. Martelle, defend- ing champion, was a winner again defeating Mrs. w. M. Kellogg of Avon 4 and 2.
 Mrs. Hit and Mrs. Martelle were to play 36 holes today to decide the championship for 1889, with the Hartford woman a slight favorite to retain her title, due to years of tournament experience, while Mrs. Hit is playing her first major tour- nament. Yesterday, Mrs. Martelle had 39 out and was going for a 75 when the match ended on the 16th green. She needed but two more pars for a 75, considered re- markable golf on the Country club of Waterbury course by any wo- man.
 Close Matches In the lower brackets, Waterbury women fared well enough, three of them winning extra hole matches and two being eliminated on the 18th and 18th holes. Mrs. F. N. Bouley won from Mrs. William Mrs. M. French Brewster, New Haven, 19 holes; Mrs. c. M. French, Waterbury, de- feated Mrs. s. N. Koval, 19 holes; Mrs. J. E. Slavin defeated Mrs. G. L.
