CROSBY COURT !
 COMBINE 3-1 ,
 CHOICE TONIGHT: F. z:
Rivals Meet in Final Bas= ketbaII Game at WiIby
 Gymnasium q.

Unforgetful of a similar situation 7, last season, in which it went into a 70 basketball game with Leavenworth only to be salted down neatly by the <, Tech combine, a speedy Crosby :. court combine, bouncing back from 1. a hiding in Torrington last Satur- day night, expects to play 32 minL utes of hard basketball tonight at Wilby gym, run up score, and keep s' on edge for its invasion of Norwich-.~ later in the week.
 On the basis of records this Seasl<s son, Crosby is about 3 to favorEt- ite to defeat Leavenworth, though a that was the story last season when Tech surprised the state with a win over Crosby, which it followed up \ in the football season with an 8-6 victory. <
 No Title Winner
 However, win for Tech tonight would be the biggest kind of an up- set as Crosby showed real class in defeating Wilby, which has already taken Tech twice and by winning tonight will tie the mythical high championship" of the city into sailors knot. Leavenworth has plen- ty of spirit and can move around and if it's tries for the hoop are dropping" there's no telling what the result may be. ...s
 Wilby is marking time for it's game with St. Thomas Seminary at Bloomfield Saturday, with both4 Crosby and Wilby figuring to be z. right" when tournament time rolls T around next week at New Haven. = the playdowns to start Monday !

High School Hoop Honors Seen As StandoA
CARROLL, R DOILAIN' ! MEET TOMORROW I
 AT BUCKINGHAM.
Canadian Figures to Ex. tend Local WeIter Star;
 Saggs ys. DOty.s

Given fair weather, another near capacity crowd of boxing fans will tur snout tomorrow night to get a peek at Eddie Carroll. of Ottawa, Canada, in his first Waterbury ap- pearance, for Edward has boxed a number of good welterweigllts in- cluding Sammy LuftSpring, Phil Fur, Sonny Jones, Frankie Geno- vese and Eddie McKeyer, so is fig ured to give Irish, Eddie Dolan of our town the hardest kind of fight.
 He is reported trained to the min ute for he has had the advantage of training with Lew Jenkins, light wdeight king, who will accompany him here tomorrow and work in his corner. Dolan can be depended upon to hold his own, Jenkins or Jenkins and if Carroll can beat him he will be doing something that some of the best welters in the country could not do while the others want no part of the clever. and now hard hitting Dolan, who has developed punch that has caused plenty of damage in his last few lights. tB ~t Business Is Good
 Tickets for the show are going rapidly and on the basis of the last two performances the customers should have plenty to cheer about before the evening is done. In Red Doty of Hartford and Eddie Suggs of New Bedford there is six-round semi-final that is sure to be "hell for leather" as each boy is a good hitter and very fast on his feet. Dula Kovach of Naugatuck and Tony GilIo of New Haven are also sure to provide some slugging de luxe, while Joe Firpo of Meriden will cause Billy Brown of this city no little trouble despite the local lads ring class.
 If Carroll is as classy as those other Canadian clouterS, Doug Marsh and Norman W. Hurdman, he will make a fine showing in his local debut as Doug and Norman have been voted very much 70. K. in this city since their first show ings @ year or more ago.

Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent

his stride shortens and he just shows the wearies all over.
 That was a queer sort of workout ChaIledon had. It was undoubtedly the most elaborate practice ever ar- ranged for a thoroughbred. Four other steeds went to the post under silks, with their regular riders up. They were saddled in the paddock, walked around the ring and paraded to the post just as if they were go- ing out for a regular race. The only difference was that the pari- mutuel machines weren't working.
 Challeion was paced for a while by Pictor and then picked up the cheap cheap Wisbech after mile. The Maryland pride made a game effort to beat Wisbech to the wire but couldn't quite make it. Yu may be interested to know that Owner Brann, Trainer L. I. Whitehill and Jockey Georgie Woolf were pleased with the horses trial spin. Brann and Whitehill were downright en- thusiastic, but Woolf admitted that while Challedon worked better than he did in a previous practice, he was blowing a bit at the finish.
 There's nothing wrong with Challedon that time wouldn't fix. But he hasn't much time. His work outs have been rare due to such things as rain, change in trainers, and leg injury. Give him another month and he undoubtedly wound round into shape and go to the post in the hundred grander a logical, even money favorite.
 Can't oSe?
 Charley Towards Midland is now the winter book favorite. His posi- tion as favorite is due partly to his soundness and Challedon's unsound- ness, and partly to the general belief that Howard. is in one of his lucky winning streaks and can't lose. The real and final test of Challedon will come on Saturday when he will go in the $10,000, mile and one-six- teenth San Antonio handicap. The San Antonio furnishes a good line on the big race that follows it by week. Seabiscuit and Kayak ran one-two in the San Antonio last year and then went on to finish in that order i'll the richest race of them all.
 If Challedon doesn't go in the hundred grander his absence will increase the size of the field. With Challedon out Midland would be the only standout thoroughbred in the race and owners would gamble on something happening to him and send in their cheaper horses.

Los Angeles, February 19. = CUP) - The chances are you could turn over every rock, shake every bush, and ransack every house in the United States without finding any, one whose lack of knowledge of the thoroughbred race horse is more impressive than mine.
 Confirmation, blood lines, and the like bewilder me as thoroughly as would a lecture on the fourth di- mension delivered in Esperanto by a tongue-tied mathematician. Still, l am willing to state, and flatly, too, that Maryland's No. steed, that prize beastie of the Free State, Challedon, will have to accom- plish a horse miracle if he is to become factor in the running of the $100O00 Santa Anita handicap a week from Saturday.
 Tired Horse
 I watched the brawn beauty in a workout at Santa Anita yesterday = watched him carefully through a pair of powerful binoculars. But even if I had been watching him through a bit of smoked window pane left oyer from the last eclipse I could have seen that he was a long way from being the challedon. that licked Kayak II in the Pimblico special or ran wild in the PreakneSs. You don't have to be expert, for. one thing, to tell when horse is tired. A tired horse reacts the same as tired man. He puffs and blows and wavers a bit,

Gomez Gets One More
 Chance As Yankee Pitcher

Gomez. He came to me a while ago and said his arm felt fine"
 Gomez had been going badly all year. He was having a tough time finishing a ball game. His fast ball seemed to have lost its bite. The other guys were laying for it and Slamming it up against the fences, the same guys he used to strike out and laugh at. Mccarthy was about convinced Gomez was through. He had come to him once before and asked him for an as signment and hadn't survived the first inning. T gotta give him an- other chance if he wants it." ex- plained Mccarthy that afternoon, almost apologetically.
 When we left the dugout to go up to the press box we passed Co., meg in the slladowy runway that leads from the dressing, room to the field. He was leaning against concrete pillar nervously smoking a cigaret. It wasn't the gay, ebul- ient, boyish fellow we had always known, the happy youngster we had met a dozen years ago in the St. Petersburg camp.
 Worried
 No, this wasn't the same Gomez. As he leaned against the concrete pillar, worry was written all over his drawn features. The game was about to begin. In a sense, the most important game he had ever started. To an extent his career, at least as Yankee, depended on how he worked. Nobody knew bet ter than he that Mccarthy was do- ing him a favor. He wouldn't be in there today if he hadn't gone to the manager and practically begged for the chance. He was going in there on friendship, not on what he had shown in the box. This was one time he had to come through
 We imagined we knew how he felt and what he was thinking as we climbed the steps to the press box, and suddenly we found our- selves feeling low and miserable about his predicament, and hoping that by some magic he would have his fast ball and turn in one of his old-time sparklers.
 Gomez got through the first inn ing, largely through luck and was back in the showers before the sec- ond was over, and that was the start of speculation as to where he would pitch next season.
 But the story didn't end like that: at least it hasn't yet. Bluff. gruff Ed Barrow has a scattering of soft spots in his rough, wrinkled hide. One of them is for Gomez. That's why the old lefthander is back in camp for one more chance.

BY JOE WILLIAMS

Sebring, Fla, Feb. 19 -(UP)- This is the tell year for Vernon Co., meg, the Yankee lefthander who cheerfully responds to the unflat- tering salutation of Fl Goof. It is the year that comes to all ball play CTS in due time-the year which de- termineS whether they are through or not.
 Matty, Johnson A1exa,n der Walsh, Plank-all the great pitch CTS of baseball have knowl the ag- onizing experience of heading for the training camp wondering whether the old salary whip will stand up for one more year.
 And while on the way reading and hearing about the youngsters the manager is bringing up from the brambles to look over, big, strong fellows in their early tWen- ties, flushed with ambition, eager and raring to go; clodhoppers who don't know whether to pitch high or low to Greerlberg or Mize wouldn't even know Di Maggie if they saw him, but whose arms glow with power and might.
 Nobody ever knows what must pass through the veterans mind as he comes into camp prepared to make another fight for his job. He knows all the hitters, all the an- Swers, he's plenty smart. If he could only borrow an arm from one of those young punks. that kid over there who struck out 246 in the Tall Clover league last year, boy, wouldn't that be something.
 Brain Plus Brawn
 with that arm and what I know about the racket I'd win 40 games. 7 Maybe that's what the veteran thinks. But the chances are he just waits moodily and somewhat fearfully for the day when the manager, by now an old pal, will come up to him and say, Feel like going today, Butch?" And hen nod his head, pick up his glove, spit in it and walk slowly toward the rubber.
 He's been around long enough to be philosophical in his own way. After all, he was a young punk himself, and in his time he's seen plenty old-timers go. That the hell, I'll just throw it in there and see if I've got anything left" he'll say. But all the while he'll be whisper ing little prayer that he's still got 1t and worrying feverishly that maybe he hasn't.
 This might be picture of Go- meg. It might even be & picture of the Gomez we saw one after noon at the stadium late last sea- son. We don't recall who the Yam kees were playing. The Indians or the Tigers. It doesn't matter much. We came out early and sat in the dugout talking with Joe Mccarthy. the manager. By way of making conversation we asked who was go- ing to pitch.

 So far this season the Bears have the upper hand in three meetings to date with New Haven, having won twice and lost once. The Her shey sextet is at present in second place in the western sector. the only club with chance to overhaul Cleveland.

 POSITION
Wealthy Fugitive 10 Re- sian as Director 10 Save
 Radio Licenses

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Erling D. Naess said today he will comply with the Federal Communications Commissions order and resign as director of the Pacific American Fisheries.
 The announcement followed the registering of warning to the PAF' yesterday from the Commission, that unless Naess, wealthy fugitive from Nazi occupied Norway, resigned the corporations radio licenses for sta- tions in Alaska would be revoked. Under the regulations, no company with an alien as an officer on it's board may receive or hold any au- thorization for operation of radio stations.
 The Pacific American Fisheries operates in remote parts of Alaska and uses the radio as a. sole means of communication between the can- neries, the fishing fleets, supply ships and also with Bellingham, Wash, the headquarters of the cor poration.
 Naess said he had lived in England for 20 years and was on 8 trip to Norway when the Germans invaded that country. He escaped to the Unit ed States.
 If I had known about the regula- tions, would not have accepted the Directorate" Naess said.
