CITY S0FTBALL
FINALS TO OPEN
Spinners And Firemen Meet
At Robert Strange Play
ground In Title Series
BY S T

The finals for the city softball
championship and the Foy, Roe
trophy starts Monday night at 6
o'clock with Spofford playing the
Firemen for the best three out
of five at Robert Strange play
grounds.
Except for a series between the
All-Stars of the Commercial and
Independent leagues, it will be the
last week of softball for the year.
If Spofford can take the Fire
men it will be the first time a
commercial club has ever W.
city-wide softball honors. And il
those same Spinners turn on the
pressure the way they did against
the Wertheimer Bagmakers last
week, they can count the trophy
their own.
But Walter Bunn's Firemen,
champions of the Hanover loop
formed this year, believe they can
take Forest Cooks lads. During
the season they made the Spinners
stretch to nine full, thrill-packed
frames before the Spinners had a
3 to 2 decision.
Starting out against the Bagmen
completely whipped, losing tt {
first game IS to 2 and the SECOND
II to Q, the Spinners suddenly
snapped out of their lethargy. The
third game made a hero of BLOW
Cum Fowler, chunky Spinner
pitcher, who BANKED the great
run-minting Wertheimer machine
for nine innings.
The next two games pitted Will
mington's most dangerous mounds
men. Hugh Ballard for the Spin
ners, Cliff Phillips for the Werthei
mer boys. Both pitched their hear
out Thursday and Friday. But Bal
lard was fresh and Phillips stale
He had worked too often down the
pennant drive. And the Spinner's
inner defense was stronger. Errors
made the difference between a wiz
and defeat the last two games
Observers estimated there were
anywhre from 5000 to 5000 fans
at Robert Strange Friday for the
final game. With the Firemer
bringing in their large following,
softball crowds during the week
should be a sell-out.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-01-26

Brig. Gen. Reginald B. DeLacour made 1t very clear in Q talk before the Waterbury chapter Reserve Of. ficers' Association here last night that he is definitely opposed to training periods lasting longer than the customary IS days. He said that no order has been issued for a 27 day encampment for the Connecti- cut National Guard this year and he doubted evry much If one would be issued.
 Brig. Gen. DeLacour who, Is ad- iutant general of the state, discuss ing the Connecticut National Guard said his office was working on 8 proposal to change the 242nd coast artillery regiment into an anti-air- craft organization. He believes such an organization would be more val uable. .s.,
 Under the plan Connecticut would get 16 large guns, 48 one pounders. 24 fifty calibre machine guns and searchlights and listening batteries, all mobile and able to be quickly transported to a point of attack or suspected attack.
 Waterbury would get one of the listening batteries he said and others would be stationed in Bridgeport, Hartford, New London and else- where.
