Ry HENRY McLEMORE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. %. (UP)-
If the American League wants to
have the closest battle in its his
tory this year, all it has to do is
to arrange for Fred Haney to be
placed in charge of the draft.
Not the baseball draft, mind you,
but the selective service one.
The first thing Haney, who as
you know manages the st. Luois
Browns, would do would be to see
that Bob Feller, Hank Greenberg,
Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams and
Bobo Newsome got into the army,
and in hurry.
"Those are the fellows" Haney
told me, who make for the bal
ance of power in the American
League. Take them off their teams
and Cleveland, Detroit, New York
and Boston wouldn't have a great
deal on the rest of us. And, if
you distributed those players to
the weaker clubs, well, we'd be in
there knocking all the way"
On the off chance that he would
MT be placed in charge of the
draft, and that the stars named
would start the 1941 season at their
old stands, I asked Haney how he
thought the American League would
60 this year; asked him to guess
the October order of finish.
He game me this lineup: New
York, Cleveland, Boston, Detroit.
st. Louis, Chicago, Washington and
Philadelphia.
There is only one chance to
stop the Yankees" Haney said
And that's a pretty slim one. But
it's a chance just the same. We
must beat them to death in the
spring. Get on them and lick them
before they get a chance to settle
down. Joe Mccarthy is bringing
in a lot of new players. He must
experiment. If he happens to find
the club clicks during spring train
ing, or in April, there1 be no beat
ing him.
"The only team with real chance
TO lick the Yanks is Cleveland. The
Indians are a heluva ball team
Any team with Feller in there
throwing for it is a heluva team.
He is the No. l man in baseball.
Not only is he great pitcher, but
he is a nice, quiet, boy, who minds
his own business and doesn't car
ouse. But the Indians lack the
will to win"
Boston and Detroit Haney dis
misses as teams with enough to be
good, but not enought to be great.
AS a matter of fact, in listing them
above his own Browns he didn't
sound too sincere. When I was
in San Francisco, pretty fair
judge of baseball by the name of
Ty Cobb told me that the Browns
would be the surprise of the Ameri-
can League this year 1 told Haney
this and asked him what he thought.
well" he said, Il gave us fifth
place and that's pretty good. But
to be honest with you I feel we
have an outside chance to climb
even higher. For several reasons
one being that our players don't
have the defeatist complex any
more. There was a time when a
man landed on the Browns he fig
ured he was about washed up and
what was the use of trying. But
that spirit doesn't exist anymore
In the second place, we have the
best defensive infield in baseball
You can't name a better one than
McOuinn, Heaffner, Berandino, and
Cliff. Our pitchers figure to be
pretty good, too. Well start with
Johnny Allen, Galehouse, Ostermul-
ler, Caster. Kennedy, Auker, and
a couple of boys from San Antonio,

Need for better airport facilities in the Waterbury area is declared urgent by the Aeronautical Develop ment Commission in its first report since it's creation in August, 1939. The commissions report, given yes- terday to Governor Raymond E. Baldwin and today turned over to Governor Robert A. Hurley, points out that Waterbury and the Naug- atuck Valley industrial district are lacking in sufficient airports and hints that existing airportS should be expanded if possible.
 Though the number of airplanes and the number of licensed pilots have greatly increased in recent years, the commission says, the state still has only IS airports, the same number it had nine years ago.
 It is recommended that new air. ports be built and developed, that present facilities be expanded. The commission suggests that strip land- ing fields and seaplane bases be de- veloped as well as air terminals and regular landing fields.
 Also recommended by the com mission is a program for education and training in aeronautical sub- jects in the high schools, colleges and universities of the state.
 Following a recent survey of New England airport facilities, govern ment agency also recommended that an airport be established at Wa terbury. An early defense report recommended an airport for Water bury also, but later advices from

COMMUN|TY CLUB PLANS ELECTION
Many Changes Expected in New Staff of Officers; C.Y.O. Plans Sale
Washington Hill
 Correspondent: Mrs. Frank McGrath - Telephone 4-6590

The election of officers for the Washington Park Community Club is now scheduled for next Tiesday night, January 14th. The secretary is preparing to send out notifica- tions to all the members in good tand ing to be on hands fer-rtt standing to be on hand for the election. The names of the nomi- hating committee could not be ob- tained, but from the concensuS of opinion, there is to be great sur- prise in store for the members, as some of the candidates seeking of- flee are members who have never served as officers before. This of course is very wise move-new officials, sometimes create new in- terest. It can't of course be expect ed, that the older members can carry On forever, in a community l club or in any other organization. Washington Park Community | Club is now fourteen years old, hav- ing observed its anniversary in the spring of 1940 and can boast of :, having as it's officers in the past, members of some of the best known families of the Hill" l President James J. Gladney, who has presided for the past two years has announced that he will not be candidate for a third term, but some of the members have express ed the wish, that club would like to be in style and have third term president"
 At the committee meeting for the Jew Years Eve party held at the Community House, the final returns were made and showed that the party was real success, both fi- nancially and socially.
 Washington Hill has always play ed a prominent part in civic af- fairs for the city of Waterbury, and it is the hope of the members of the club to adopt as its slogan: we Lead Where Others Follow"
 At the meeting of the c. Y. o. held at St. Francis Xavier parish hall last evening, it was voted to have a cake sale, time and place to be announced by Saturday of | this week.
