The W. P. A. Educational Recrea- tional Program will soon fill the demand in Waterbury for a "hik- ing' club free to all that want to participate in the most healthful of all outdoor sports. Walking is the greatest health builder in which everyone can take part and enjoy the beauties of nature.
 To those who seek adventure and travel to new unexplored places, writers have regarded New England as the trampers choice. No where else in the courTtSy can there be found SO many miles of attractive trails for hiking leading through varied landscapes than within 8 short radius of Waterbury. Few know of the interesting places near home.
 Billy" Queal, who has started a ,numbef of hiking clubs IS interested in starting one in Waterbury that will develop as others have, into a permanent social and recreational club of women and men having ac- tivities in hiking. picnics, tours, dancing etc. In the near future a good speaker of experience in hik- ing will give an interesting talk with moving pictures of hikers on the trail: All interested may send their names to w.

TIMELY TENNIS TOPICS
By the
United State Lawn Tennis Association

Bill Tilden in his Match Play and the Spin of the Ball' says:-
 Good footwotk is the secret of success in boxing, baseball, tennis, football, dancing and many other sports, for by this medium the punch of the boxer, the carrying power of the batter, the pace of the tenns player, the distance of the punter, or the balance of the dancer are determined The weight should always be thrown forward with the punch"
 At the beginning of your forward swing, both forehand and back hand, your weight should rest on your back foot. At the end of your forward swing, your weight should rest on your front foot. During your forward swing, your weight is transferred gradually from back foot to front foot. Perfect timing / is required to transfer your weight at just the right moment to get full power in your drive.
 As your forward swing begins. your body also moves forward in the same direction as your racket. The waist and shoulders pivot for ward. At the exact moment when your racket strikes the ball, your weight should be slightly forwaid q of your center of gravity.
 By throwing the weight of your body forward in the direction of your swing, you add length and power to your swing. By rotating yours body from hips you add ad- ditional momentum to your swing.
 After striking the ball., your body continues to move forward with the racket and your body continues to pivot, until, at the end of the fol- low through. your weight is entirely on your front foot and your body is facing towards the net.

report from Ray Tram, active chair man of the "On to Youngstown" fi- nancial campaign has the fund breathing on the $l,700 mark with the Brooklyn section yet to be heard from.
 Sundays exhibition baseball game at the Municipal Stadium was a sloppy affair from all angles. The weather spoiled attendance, the Fort Devens team played hstless ball af- ter then third inning when pitcher Joe KwaSneiwslxi was taken out, no less than eight DevenS errors were made in six innings, new B. A. c. players made their appearance and the local entry won g te 2. Several of the local odds-players, having the "Winside track" on the Devens, array before the ball game, were taken for quite little coin of the realm, and, on the basis of the man. ner in which the game was played, they put up quite 8 squawk when they he'd to pay off, and on short game at that.
 Early Lead
 Devens started fast, got two runs in the first and second innings, but when the fourth inning arrived for the Brooklyns and with Kwasniew- ski on the sidelines, after pitching etaoinexcellent ball, no less than eight runs crossed the plate. For team which won g of 26 games played to date including 17 to 2 nod over the Camp Edwards team, which features pitcher Hugh Mulcahy of the Phillies, the Devens outfit was very smelly indeed, seenn- ing intent on picking. up $75 and getting back to camp as soon as possible. Of course, under the conditions, observers found 1t ina- possible to get real line on the Brooklyn team which showed Roger Capanna of Wingdale and Mike Kissko of Torrington on the mound. Silano of the Tomn1Ies at first base; Scagliareni and Torella of West Haven, and Tyler.
 Coach Di Napoli is reported nnak- ing 8 strong effort ot secure the release of his pitcher Steve Wood, brother of Bobby Wood and pitch- CT ole Kwasniewski of New Milford, from Camp Devens where they work and play for Uncle Sam.
 The Brooklyn A. o. squad, City Amateur league officials and news papermen, will leave the local rail- road station at 4:40 p. m. daylight time Thursday afternoon, arriving at Youngstown, scene of the tour nament Friday morning.

GRANT NOT YET
 ALSO RAN AMONG; STAR NETMEN
Finishes Strong in Five Set Match 10 Win; Kov-
 acs Wins, Wife Defaults
BY WILLIAM TUCKER

Limited Press Staff Correspondent)
 Forest Hills, N. Y., Sept. 2.-(uP) --Bitsy Grant has his bantam blood up and it bodes trouble today for Gardnar Mulloy, the five-foot Att lantan's first seeded opponent in the national singles tennis cham- pionships.
 A few days ago Grant declared he was no longer a serious tourna- nent threat. And if you had seen him sprawling exhausted on the turf at the West Side Tennis club yesterday when the energetic Ecua- dorean, Francisco Segura, squared their match at two sets each you would have agreed with him.
 A 1nurmur of sympathy went through the stadium crowd at the spectacle of the apparently beaten veteran who could barely rise and grip his racket for the decisive set. One 1on-sympathizer was top- seeded Bobby Riggs, watching the match from the stands, who told a companion not to feel sorry yet for Bitsy.
 Riggs, who based his observation on personal experience with Grant, proved a good adviser. BitsS pulled his tiny bag of bones together and decisively outplayed Segura in the fifth set to win, 6-4, S-6, 4-6, 5-7, 6-2. When 1t was over 5itSy walked from the stadium as Spry as 8 cat.
 Mulloy, of Coral Gables, Fla, seeded eighth, moved to the fourth round by defeating Gerald Crow~ ther, Hermosa Beach,, Calif., 4-0, 6-3, 6-3, 6-1.
 Easy Sailing
 Defending champion Don McNeill, seeded third, and Riggs have not yet had strenuous tests although McNeill dropped a set in winning his third round match from Sey- mour Greenberg, Chicago, 6-4. 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. Riggs breezed through the second round 6-1, 6.3, 6-2, over Frank Bowden, New York, and catches up with the field today against Charles Olewine, Santa Monica, Calf.
 ASSNVAAA- $ A&A&A 4&Qv1SCp ASsAAA Francisco, also entered the fourth round, defeating Victor seixas of Philadelphia, 6-2. 6-4, 7-6, and plays Jack Kramer, Los Angeles, ranked seventh, in his next match. Kramer advanced over Gene Mako Los Angeles 6-l, 6-4, 6-l.
 Except for the first round de. fault of Mrs. Virginia Woifenden Kovacs, the women's field also re. mained true to the seedlings but tor rated Pauline Betz, Los Angeles had trouble. After barely getting past Doris Hart in the opening round. she dropped the first set yesterday to Pearl Harland, Santa Monica, Calif.. before finding that her stocky opponent couldn't cope with drops just over the net. Miss Betz won, 5.7, 6-4, 6-2.
 Second seeded Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Cooke, who drew a first round bye, defeated Louise Brough, national girls champion, 4-6, 6-1, 6-l.

 Schaeffer has been burning up all the tracks of the ARDC except the Danbury Speedways but anoth. CT engagement has kept him away from the local saucer until this week.

It will be 8 40-lapper with a twenty lap event in the usual fash- ion followed by another 20 laps in Q reverse start and with the eight leading drivers being forced to keep their motors from stalling or stopping the cars between the sin- ish of the first half of the race and the start of the last half.

 The doors to the $l00,0O0 grand- stand will be opened at 2 o'clock with the first race at S:30 o'clock.
