MANAGERS MEET TONIGHT AT "'Y"; PALS TO PLAY?
Brophy to Serve Again; Games at Municipal Sta.
 dium Under Lights

Waterbury,S l04i baseball acton will, in all probability, take place at the Municipal Stadium on Wa tertown avenue insofar as the City Amateur League D concerned, Witn the same six team league operating as finished the 1e40. The single change expected may see the North End Pals in North End Thomas Club uniforms, as the prospect or hiring out of town diamond talent for the defending championsnap club has not struck too popular chord in the northern section Of the city. ..
 Possibility of an eight team league, and two rounds Of play rather than three and a longer seq son is considered remote ct tnH writing, just prior to the first sprine meeting of managers at the YMCA tonight, scheduled for starting at o'clock, with President Joe Bropny in charge, An election of officers may take place at this meeting or the next, in which case, Brophy D almost sure to be asked to serve as league president again, though there may be some contest for minor ot- fees, particularly that oi treasurer as Johnny Rock has decided 70 con fine his attention to the Hot Stove League and the Brooklyn Dodgers.
 To Open Territory? a.
 Therefore, the major discussion tonight Is expected to hinge on the question of opening up the territory from which league teams may seiect players, with most managers pe- iieved to be in favor of plucking some of the able college pasenan talent now working in shops not Tar from Waterbury such as BrStol' Meriden and Torrington.
 Last season the league started at Hamilton Park and switched to the Municipal Stadium on July 28, i940 when 842 paid admissions were marked down. The baseball dia.. mond Is located In one corner or the Watertown avenue plant nam- ing the use of the permanent stands undesirable for spectators who would be behind the outfielders ana would need field glasses to follow the infield play. Bleachers VIII pc set up -on two sides of the diamond to accommodate fans, though the prospect of more paid patrons at the Municipal stadium Is brighter than the Hamilton Park Setup which has been Q financial failure for many years.
 Most of the league managers be- lieve that proper organization and Q strong league, with every team hav- ing e chance to win the champion ship will attract enough fans to the stadium that will practically elim- mate the annual drive" for funds to send Waterbury team to the national amateur baseball tourna- ment which will be staged this year at Youngstown, Ohio.
 Though Eddie DiNapoli, last years Brooklyn A. o. fnanagre, expects to be on hand, the B. A. o. affairs m the legaue will be handled by the captain of sports, John "Whitey" Zubras, DiNapoli having recently been elected to the presidency of the athletic organization now more than 50 years of age, which has had c team in the league win or lose for as many years as anyone can re- member.
 The six team circuit of last sae- son which Is not expected to be add ed to this year includes: North End Thomas Club; Brooklyn A. C.: Tri- bune A. O., Washington Hill A. O.: Sacred Heart A. 0. and Overlook A.
