The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-01-19
By JOSEPH (CHICK) KRAMER Hello everyone!


 It seems that all good things must come to an end, and that's just what happened as far as the Junior Knights are concerned. Yes, we were having a great time every Mon day on the Slocum gym when all of & sudden out of nowhere some one in the club thought it was waste of time, and that member happened to be powerful one, so what hap pens? There are no more gym pe- riods on Monday nights for the Junior Knights, thus depriving the Knights of one of their greatest forms of enjoyment. The challenge was to appear in this column to some team to game cannot be stated due to the fact that we have no gym now. We are extremely sorry, but 1t can't be done.
 10 may be a little too early 10 dis cuS3 baseball, but nevertheless walt to take this opportunity of reminding the Junior Knights of something. It was understood that the main reason why We organized the club was that we could get enough funds during the winter months so that when 1t comes time to hear the old familiar cry Play Ball' again we would enter the Recreation league. After all, we that is the original members who have played ball in the Fulton Park league for abou. three years. are tired of 1t and we wart to enter a bigger field. New compliment, and many other things of necessity are needed before we can make a good showing. Therefore, to Vice-Presi- dent Ritucci make this appeal. At the next meeting, let's straighten this problem out once and for all Let's have opinions expressed, let's have more cooperation and I'm sure that we will enter the Recreation league success.
 Newsy bits about Junior Knights, and why they are newsy.
 Before going any further I want to welcome into the Junior Knight ranks two fine fellows, two fellows whom I'm sure will be two great members. I give you fellow Junior Knights Roger Carol, really swell kid, and Jimmy zuella, an asset to any club. Jimmy, by the way, is a brother of the irresistible Johnny, so that makes everything swell, eh, what!
 Mike Ritucci, I hear, after a few strings of bowling the other night convinced himself that bowling does not pay especially if you have to pay all the time. Come, come, Mike, you know what I mean. Aside to the Tommies of the North End Y: Thanks a lot for your kind invitation, but the boys at a meet ing recently turned 1t down. Sorry Suggestion to all the boys in the club: If you want to enjoy bowling, keep away from Richie Nave, and Henry Guerrera, they're too good, that's all. A few weeks back l stated that Eddie Errichetti was the best pin toppler in the club. I am now forced to change my opinion, not that Eddie has slipped any, but the fact remains that Richie Nave is a better bowler. Bill Ross came in the other night with the following remark: What's the mat ter. fellows, no gym?", which in my opinion, is adding insult to injury. Will Kramer is terribly irritated over from everyone since it was found out that he hit the grand total of the ribbing he has been taking fifty bowling.
 Monopoly has been quite the ia. vorite of the fellows down at the club. thanks to Henry Gurrera'S kindness in bringing it down. What a game!
