Classy End Squad For College Al-Star
 Squad Selected

The end squad of the 1oz1 East ern College All-Star football team was completed today (yesterday) when Jim Crowley, of Fordharn, An-star coach, announced the ad- dition of three proven workmen to his entourage. Bob Krieger, of Dartmouth, the boy who place kicked the points which won the celebrated fifth down" game with Cornell on a recount; Dolly King, of Long Island University, the great Negro basektball player and ale around athlete; and John Shonk, 'the best end West Virginia has had since Tod Goodwin" have ac- cepted invitations to join the squad, Crowley announced.
 They will report with the rest of the All-Stars at New York Military Academy, Cornwall on Hudson, August 12 for the beginning of prac- tice and thenceforth will be on their own to combat for starting positions in the sixth annual Tri- bune Fresh Air Fund All-Star game in the Polo Grounds the night of Wednesday, September 3.
 Krieger entered Dartmouth as a halfback. He played in the backfield one year then was moved to end where his tremendous speed made him a valuable man as a forward pass receiver and end-around rum ner. Krieger Is not small, standing 6 feet ? and weighing nearly 200 pounds, but he essentially is a nifty end rather than a crasher
 Speed To Spare
 It is doubtful if he has any more speed than King who is better known to New York sports follow CTS as basketball player. He, how ever, was nominated by the New York football writers as teh best end in the metropolitan district last year. eH weighs 2i5 pounds and can run like a eder. He is the third Negro player who has won a place on the Eastern All-Star team and the second Negro end.
 Shonk was recommended to Crowley by Bill Kern, coach of West Virginia, who wrote about him as follows:
 This boy outplayed every end he met this year. Naturally he received very little credit, playing with . losing team. I am sure you will not be disappointed in selecting Shonk. He Is an exceptional blocker offen- sively and g very tough defensive man."
 This end squad will average better than l90 pounds per man and will have more speed over all than any yet assembled. Shonk perhaps rep- resentS the average of build. He stands 6 feet and weighs lo5.

The greatest sporting attraction that Waterbury has ever had come it's way for many years will be in the offing Friday evening at ahe Municipal Stadium on Watertown avenue when the City Amateur League All-StarS, composed of the pick of the local Sunday circuit, take on the famous New York Black Yankees, the current cham pions of the National Colored league, and the champion colored baseball team of the world, in a baseball game to be played under the lights. In the twilight preliin- mary, the Waterbury Tool Com pany Softball team, league leaders in the focal Industrial league, face the famed Westport Chevies, one of the five best teams in the East. This battle will be treat in :t- self for two of the best softball pitchers around these parts will taagle in what is expected to be a great ball game. The local team will feature the best softball twirl- CT in this city, Hardy Brownell, who occasionally goes over to New York State to play with Lowell Thomas famed Nine Old Men. The downstate team will also display @ fine hurler, one of the best in the East, Cannonball Baker, who can throw all sorts of hooks, sink CTS, etc., and this tilt alone will be worth the 50 cent admission charge. The big attraction of the evening, the Black Yankee-All-Star game, will get under way promptly at S:30 and will be the first local night game of the year.
 Many Stars
 The Tanks have a great many established stars in the lineup, play CTS that are of major league cali- Der but are barred from the big time because of their racial differ ence. On the initial sack, they have perhaps the greatest colored first sacker in the game today, one Jimmy Starks. Many critics down New York way are compar- ing Starks with the immortal Hal Chase, the late Lou Gehrig. Jim- mic FoxX, Stuffy McGinnis and other stars who earned their live ing at first base. The Yankees play most of their home games in the huge Yankee Stadium, home of the Bronx BomberS of the Amer lean league, and have their sched- ule SO arranged that they are on the road when the McCarthymei, are home and vice versa and they pack the Stadium to capacity when they play important tits, though they charge major league prices for all of their games. Getting back to Starks again: he led the American Colored League in bat ting last year with a mark of .39l while stealing 48 bases and hit ting 38 circuit wallops. Pretty big

TOUGH TORIELLO
 RATED ABLE TO K. Q. LOCAL STAR
Reilly Meets MOffett in Sth , Round Bout; Bell vs
 Lewis in Sixer
BY HUGO HooKJAB

Though the well-known boxina ability of Irish Eddie Dolan is exs pected to carry him through to ans other victory, this time over Saverio Turiello of Italy, when the pair swap leather tonight at the Ran. dolph-C Gloves Stadium, there are quite a few experts" who believe that the Italians record as q puncher is good enough to give him 8 chance to stop the able Dola1, who has suffered that kind of 8 setback no more than once or twice In l2 years. However, the fact re. mains that Ttlriellio has beaten Cocoa Kid and Milt Aaron twice each, and neither of those boys are cream puff" punchers, and both are better than average boxers. All of which adds up to the assurnp- ton that Tlriellio must "have some thing on the ball." Be that as .t may, Dolan will De a 6 or 2 to s choice to win tonight, though he has not had q fight for several months, due to an attack of poison ivy and one thing and another.
 May Be SlugfeSt
 If Bobby Reilly of Jersey City lives up to Manager Jack Moore's estimate of his ability. the compsn- ion eight rounder featuring Reilly and Johnny Red Moffett of Devon may be "just what the doctor or dered" as Moffett like Dolan, has not had c hard battle in months due to an eye injury, and may be "stale". However, if Moffett has one of his good nights, despite the lay- off, he will be 8 tough customer to handle as he is shifty, natural puncher, hits hard, boxes well and is dead game"
 Waterbury A. c. officials an- nounced the completion of the un. der-card late last night, with Jim. my Bell of New Haven and Freddie Lewis of Wilkes.Barre as a six round bout that, ought to be very interesting. as both boys have fought here in the past, Lewis hav- ing given New Haven Eddie Suggs @ great fight to draw decision while Bells battles with all sorts of opponents have always been ex- cellent.
 pr2lims
 A couple of Johnnies, Devore from Bridgeport and Dundee from Hartford, "the J. D. boys" are pair ed in one of two four roundeTs that may develop plenty of slug ging and possibly produce knock out.

Electrical Anesthesia
Succeeds With Animals
Rv the Assnriafnd Pres!

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO.-Many years ago a
French scientist found that a low
electric current would put an ami
NAL into the same sleep as drug
aneStheSia.
He was invited to demonstrate,
but became i'll the day of the show.
His sister substituted for him, for
got to throw in the rheostat to cut
the current down, consequently
electrocuted all the animals.
That accident gave electrical an
eSthesia a bad name, and scientists
dropped it. 1t now has been re-
vived successfully. and the vertical
Uion reported to the American Ply
siological Society by M. L. Silver and
R. w. Gerard of the University of
Chicago.
The electric current has put dogs,
frogs and rats to sleep and kept
them there with no harm for as
much as eight hours. The current
is small, three milliamperes for frogs,
IS for dogs.
The animals are wakened by grad
ually decreasing the current, or even
by reversing the direction of flow.
Frogs revive in l minute, rats in 10
minutes and dogs in an hour and
40 minutes.
Blood pressure and heart rate
were little changed by this elec-
trical anesthesia. On the basis Of
the experiments to date it might be
used for surgery

Navy Officials Hope
Talks Today Will End
.5hipyard Stoppage
Offers to Settle Steel
And Chemical Strikes
Rejected by Unions
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Navy officials in the San Fran
cisco Bay area hoped conferences
today would pave the way for set
tlement of an 11-shipyard strike of
c. I. o. and A. F. l.. machinists
which has hampered production on
$500 ,000, 900 of defense work.
Expressing confidence that the
Government would not have to use
force to break the deadlock, Admiral
j. w. Greenslade said yesterday he
hoped the meeting would produce a
decision on what course and &C
ton is to be followed"
"All parties concerned" would
take part in the discussion, the ad-
miral said, so that each side may
know precisely where the other side
stands"
The strike, now in its seventh
week, was called by the machinists
to support demands for $115 an
hour and double overtime pay They
rejected an offer of SLIP an hour
and pay-and-a-h half for overtime,
which compared with their previous
contract of 81 and double time.
Chemical Strike Truce Rejected.
C. I. o. unionists voted 260 to 174
yesterday against accepting a COM
pany proposal for ending strike at
the American Potash & Chemical
Co., Trona, Calf. They walked out
March IA, demanding that the wage
scale of 67I2 cents to $1.05 an hour
be raised to 81 to $50, with a closed
shop and improved housing con-
ditions. The company offered a new
scale ranging from 78 cents to sl2O
and agreed to meet some of the
housing demands, but rejected the
closed shop. The strike made 1900
workers idle.
A two-week strike at the Douglas
& Lomason Co, which makes auto
mobile parts in Detroit, was ended
when a C. I. o. union accepted an
offer under which the National Labor
Relations Board will conduct a bar
gaining election Wednesday to set

Steel Offer Rejected.
Members of C. I. O's Steel Work

The Rumanian Legation issued
the following statement:
"One year ago Communist Russia
presented to a peaceful Rumania
an ultimatum for the unconditional
surrender of the whole of Bessarabia
and of Northern Bucovina. Pressed
on the West by hostile neighbor
and lacking the material means of
defending simultaneously two very
extensive frontiers, the Rumanian
government saw no way of opposing
single-handed the Communist ag-
greSsion.
But the Rumanian government
and the Rumanian people never
acquieSced in the loss of these an
cient Rumanian lands inhabited by
over two million land owning Ru-
manianS, or in the subsection by
ruthless force of these Rumanians
to an alien rule synonymous
throughout the world with the most
brutal oppression. Therefore the
Rumanian Army is acting today to
liberate and recover Rumanian ma
tional patrimony overrun without
justification by the unprovoked ag-
gression of Communist Russia"
