The Waterbury Chess Club, with four wins and no losses in the Con- necticut Chess League Tournament, bids fair to bring the State Cham pionship to Waterbury. Responsi- bility for the splendid showing of the local team must go to the excel lent teamwork and play of the per- sonnel. Nick Bellome, who has pre- viously held city and state cham pionships, plays number one board. His play to date has been the spark which has meant the difference be- tween victory and defeat. Former States Atty. Lawrence L. Lewis, another former city title holder, plays board two. Barker, Stanwich, and Green are listed among the top notchers.

Mayor Profests
 Boards Lengthy Secret HuddIes

Mayor Vincent A. SculIy, ap- parentIy annoyed and angered by the continued delay which the board of education has been showing in its informal caucus meetings, finally laid down the law to the boys last night. Meetings are scheduled, by the new regulations, for 7:3O, but when the mayor saw that the board did not go into fS.mal caucus until 1O:30, he suggested to the members that perhaps they ought to get together on the public business for which the public had elected them, and in public. Former meetings were held at { p. m., but this was changed recently at 2 p. m. It probably will not be changed to 1O:15.
