OAKVILLE STARS
 NIP NAUCATUCK

Oakville and Naugatuck teams of the Pomperaug Valley baseball league, played the best game of the slate yesterday and in the borough of Naugatuck, too, where the All- Stars from Maraville pulled out with an 8 to 2 win over the Naugy Bluebirds, who Tit Desjardins 13 times, but could not win. Frank Edmonds got four hits, batted in three runs but Oakville won when a late Naugy rally just failed to cause a tie game. Orsini,s home run for Oakville in the fourth proved to be the margin of vic- tory. Oakville has lost but one game in 12 starts and has a two game league lead over Newtown.
