All four of the teams are outfitted with uniforms featur. ing the school coiors. Although there are only 21 boys in the freshman class at Sacred Heart high school, Rev.

 Parochial League
 The Parochial league race thus far has been featured by the form of the St. Thomas school team coached by Joe Butler and Rev. Joseph Donnel. ly For the past several years, St. Thomas has been more or less of c "cellar" club. But this year the But. lermen have really come into their own and are the standout team of the circuit. Rev. Peter Daly's St. Margaret quintet is also showing great promise after seevral "lean" years, popping Up this past week with an upset win over the strong St. Joseph team.
 Minor League Leaders
 In the public school division, Ma loney schools defending grammar school champions, are setting the same dizzy pace whichc carried them to the top last season. Thus far, Prin. Miss Reilly's pupils are uiide- feated in four games. Miss Loretta Titzpatrick's Wodorow Wilson team is also undefeated in three games and are scheduled to meet the Ma loney outfit this week in c "croociap' game at slocufn gym.
 slocum, coached by Frank Mari- nara, has gained plenty of prestige for Miss Ann Fagan's school by win- ming their first three games. At the present time 1t appears that Princi- pal John 0ilmartin's Duggan school five will be the team to beat fl slocurn is to win e title.

 CLOSE VICTORY
AnsOnia Blue Devils Drop
 Hard Game 46-4l to Local Club

The West Side Speedboys de- feated the Ansonia Blue Devils 46- Al for their 18th win in 13 games. The game was roughly played be- cause of the small court and despite the terrific advantage of height the Blue Devils had under the baskets. The Speedboys managed to pull the game out of the fire but had Q tough time doing that.
 The Speedboys started fast with Kalosky getting two quick hoops and the Slders lead l1-7 at the first period. In the second period with the Siders enjoyingar 8 point lead, Stollar was forced from the game because of his back injury which caused the Speedboys to fall apart and the Blue Devils with Fair and Mikolesko leading the attack with 6 and 4 points helped their team grab the lead and hold it at the half l7. 16. In. the third period Casey and Stollar were put in the game and then the Speedboys clicked to go ahead of the Blue Devils 35-34 at the third period and went on to in- crease their lead to win despite the efforts of the opponents to try and stop the Speedboys.
 Grey, Casey and Bradley played a great floor game in the second half. Both teams scored 19 field goals but the Speedboys sunk 8 out of 10 fouls while the Blue Devils sunk only 3 out of Il fowls.
 The Speedboys will journey tu New Britain tonight to play the Boys Club and the tea inwill leave the corner at 6:30 p. m. On Wed- nesday they will play the Westert, Jacksons who recently played the Speedboys to a tie in 3 overtime periods. The game will be played at Russell School and 6 large crowd is expected to see the game, starting time p. m.

 IN(EN5ED OVER
 WEATHER BUREAU
Open Letter 10 Editor Con- plains of Fake Pro-
 phet" Story
Dear Editor, The Empire:

Boy! Am I getting warm under the collar-or did you read that crack in the paper (yours, dern yuh) last night with the Weather Bureau telling you all about Groundhog Day
 Listen! I've had your paper de- livered at my burroW door for a good many years, but I never had anything like that happen to me -Joe Groundhog- official student of the time elements involved in the arrival of spring.
 The Weather Bureau called me a fake. Well, it so happens that my official job is to get up on the morning of February second and take a squint at the weather. If my shadow is obvious, winter hangs on and I turn in again for more shut-eye, but if I don't see my shadow you can expect early arrivsl of. spring.
 I was wounded deeply by these Weather Bureau cracks last night, but my father and his father be- fore him has been helping out John Public every year by crawl ing out of warm bed on the sec- ond of February to do this wealth CT studying job for you folks-so I just had to do it this morning and if it'll help you any, I didn't see my shadow.
 ID fact 1t was so foggy I almost didn't know when I got out of my hole up here on the side of Mt. Juneau and I durn near walked off the edge of the cliff--all on account of what I owe you folks, And you print story like that from the Weather Bureau! They called me, not only false prophet, but a pest as well. Okay I'm not going to take it to court-all the lawyers are in politics now, any, way, and the Weather Bureau has so many votes couldn't get a square deal-but just remember, igroundhogs were coming out of their holes on February second 'or whereabouts, long before there was any such stuff as Weather Bureaus!
 Respectfully,
 Joe Groundhog.

Method of handling hook and ladder need ing further demonstration, and lastly, the advisability of less haste md greater care in handling of equipment for greater effectiveness and safeguard against accident. These matters were gone into at the opening of the business session and remedies provided for.
