top fraternity club, which is ex-
pected to shoot "Highpockets'

campaign, are expecting to slow
down a bit when Curveballer Lappy
Williams takes the mound against
them this afternoon. However, the
Wolves not only boast of the most
ferocious batting attack in the loop
to date, but also they have n of
the most effective defenses yet eX-
h bited. With Baby Ray" Brew do
ing the chunking, only two earned
runs have been chalked against
them in the first two engagements.

NEW YORK, April 81 Up Ar
mold Hangers Dit, a fr%ont-running
rascal with a lot of wind, estab-
lished himself more than ever to-
day as the casts chief Kentucky
derby hope by whipping a big but
otherwise not-so-hot field in the
Wood memorial.
By coming home three lengths in
front and nothing even close, the
son of Transmute won for himself
the rather doubtful honor of going
to Louisville to challenge Bimelech
in the derby a week from today.
He was by all odds the class Of the
field, and a record crowd of 27,613
fans, who made him the S5%.S0-for-$2
favorite in the field of 10 knew it.
He broke on top, made every pole
a winning n and made the finish
look like a parade, as Jockey Buddy
Haas, part of the 120 pounds he car
ried, just held on and let 'er rip.

Recent announcement by the State Highway Department that 1t would complete resurfacing of Route 63, better Known locally as the Straits Turnpike, from the end ot Park road in the town of Middle bury to Adt's Switch on the Water town -Oakville road recalls the inter- esting histoty that this old thor oughfare has had.
 It is one of the oldest of turn pike or toll roads in this section Of the state. Neglected for good many years it has gradually been restored for 8 considerable portion of its dis tance from Litchfeld to New Ha- ven. It has been the object of much attention of recent years from both the state and individuals in- terested in making it pasSable for motor vehicles.
 The name comes from 8 section of country the road traversed down in what is now Woodbridge. It was known as the Straits and even to this day old-timerS down towards Bethany the Straitsville region is so designated.
 The original Straits Turnpike Company was established in 1797 to provide a stage-coach road between Litchfeld courthouse and New Ha- ven courthouse. Waterbury, then a small and relatively unimportant community was kept of the route, Dr. Anderson claimed in his history of Waterbury, at the insistence of Aaron Benedict who wanted the new road to pass in front of his house.
 As the road was finally built and as we can trace it today approach to Litchfield was through the town of Morris and up what is now South street. Portions of the road are un- travelled in this region and further south in the vicinity of Bethlehem and north of Watertown. But from Watertown south through Nauga- tuck, Bethany, and Woodbridge the the way is Route 63.
 From the Waterbury Middlebury road the Straits Turnpike follows what is known as the Brad1eyville road and then the Whittemore road right into Naugatuck. Leaving the borough it follows the familiar Beth any Hill route right through the Straits. North of the airport the Straits or Litchfield Turnpike, as it is called at this point, leaves the main road and crosses country un- til 1t joins the more familiar route into New Haven from Prospect.
 Through the Hillcrest section of Middlebury, which lies just across the Waterbury town line, the Straits
