turer, tell them at the opening ses-
sion Of the Waterbury Community
forum at the Waterbury Women's
club last night, that England ex-
poets the United States to get into
the war, II 1t lasts long enough. The
lecturer said that, for that matter.
his trips around the States have
shown him that most Americans
share the same conviction.
More than TOO persons attended.
Cars lined Central avenue and
Grove street as far as Prospect

The speaker said, however, that
the people Of the United States are
farther from war today than they

were In 1917" he observed. "They
want to know what the peace terms
will be II we do participate and they
are demanding that II America
joins In the war 1t must be to the
finish and that America will stay
In 1t, not run out on the Job as she
did In 1918"
DR.. Cotton, who returned from
Europe last fall after his 2lst visit,
spoke ON the subject, what Hitler
Plans Next"
He said his subject was an inane
one, as no one knows what Hitler
plans next.
He is guided by the trend Of
events and the situation at the mo-
ment he makes his utterance," DR..
Cotton said.
He added, however, that II Ger.
many wins the war, the world may
fully expect that the Fuehrer will
demand acceptance Of his acts In
Poland, Czecho- Slovakia, and else
where, and the return Of all the coll
onies taken from Germany In 1918.
The speaker also compared racial
characteristics Of Germans, French.

the Russo Finnish War. al
"Russia's threats have been dis
counted considerably since the war
started In Finland" he said, by way
OF summing UP the set backs that
the Russians have been getting re.
peatedly.

Big League Only 4 Years Away
For Steiner, Central Highs
Diamond Ace, Coach Holds

gelo Shorty Chumbris, who cap
tanned the 1885 Central nine and
later spent four years at Maryland,
was discovered in high school by
Ray, and the coach still thinks he
will make the grade. After leaving
Maryland, Chumbris signed a De-
troit contract and currently is being
seasoned at the Goldsboro IN. c.
farm in the Coastal Plains League.
Another former Central boy who
has big league prospects is Arnold
Heft, a left-handed pitcher with
Central in '35 and SO. Right now
Heft is one of the towns better
sandlot pitchers. working with
Treasury. Pittsburgh is interested
in him. but his main fault is lack
of weight. He has only 162 pounds
now, but when he gets ITO the
Pirates will call again.
Heft had the misfortune. If it can
be called that, to graduate from
high school when he was only 16 and
weighed only 1873 pounds. He still
is a good prospect and young
enough, needing only enough weight
to carry him through hot after
Moons work
Steiner right now weighs 1853
pounds and still is growing. A
teammate of his, Harry Martin, Is
another good professional baseball
prospect, but still has another year
of high school. Harry is a catcher
when not ineligible because OF
scholastic difficulties, and also plays
an excellent brand of football and
basket ball. In fact he promises to
be one of the outstanding athletes
in the high schools next year.

Benny Steiner, Central Highs out
standing athlete for the past two
years. tucks his diploma under his
arm tomorrow and heads for a pro-
fessional baseball career.
In between will be several years
of college. but eventually young
Steiner plans and hopes to make
good in the fast company of the
big baseball leagues. His high school
baseball coach. Jack Ray, calls
Steiner the best prospect he has un-
covered in nine years Of teaching
schoolboy athletes and this senti-
ment is echoed by several big league
scouts who have seen fit to stop off
and watch the youngsters Short
stopping and hitting prowess which
helped the Vikings to two successive
baseball crowns.
Steiner's first fame was won on the
football field. but Coach Ray has
advised him to forget the gridiron
and make baseball his sports inter-
est. Rays plan, which may be fol-
lowed by Steiner, is for him to spend
two years in college, getting one
year of freshman and one year of
varsity ball. After that he will turn
to the professional game, and If all
goes we'll he will spend one year in
Glass A ball and another year in
a double-A league, being ready for
the ma ajors when he is just 20 years
old. His college career could be
finished with four more half years
from September to February, get
ting a diploma in six instead Of the
usual four years.
Coach Rays advice to forget foot
ball comes because he believes, like
so many other athletic trainers, that
it doesn't help a baseball player. A
backfield man, such as Steiner, gets
bunchy shoulder muscles and
lineman gets muscle-bound in the
legs. Neither condition is good for
a baseball player, who must be loose
rather than tense.
Steiner isn't the first big-league
prospect that Ray has uncovered,
but he appears to be the best. An
