NEW 1OfIh, JUNE -. AOPJ -
wrapping up a few loose threads:
BASEBALL-The all-Stars squads
finally have been announced and
apparently the protests they have
evoked will linger long after the
games themselves have been played.
The sin of the managers who picked
these teams was one of Inconsistent
cy. Take the matter of first year
men. Ray Starr has won 10 games
but was passed over in favor of
Paul Derringer, who has won three.
Reason? Starr is a rookie. Yet,
Dixie Walker was also passed up
and who do you suppose won his
position? Why, Willard Marshall
rookie. Then Dolph Camilli was
ignored because he is in a slump.
But, Arkie Vaughan, who IS in the
worst slump of his career, was in
cluded as always. In the American
league, Hal NeWhouser of Detroit
won a pitching berth with two vic
tories and four losses. Phil March
ildOn of the Athletics, who has won
eight games and lost seven with the
worst team in the circuit was brush
ed off. Then there is the case of
Buddy Rosar, who isn't even a regu-
lar with his own club yet was
chosen as one of the catchers. It's
all as clear as a glass Of ink.
HOUSEKEEPING - Our frie d
Whirlaway runs again today in the
$4,000 Brooklyn handicap and if he
wins he will be the second horse in
history to push his earnings over
the 100000 mark. At present he
has collected $39O,836 and victory
in the Brooklyn would put him
within $4,000 of Seabiscuit' 'AS437 ,730
record. On the schedule drawn up
by Trainer Ben Jones, the hot-footed
Calumet colt will break the all-time
record in the $4,000 Massachusetts
handicap at Suffolk Downs on July
Is. Incidentally, WhirlaWay's nick
name of Little Long Tail is only
half correct. His tail is long enough
it measures ST inches-but he isn't
particularly small. At 1850 pounds,
ne is larger than Seabiscuit, 1,04O:
War Admiral, $50, and Alalb, $50.
His record at the moment is i'm
pressive. He hasn't finished out Of
the money in 80 races-since the
Belmont Futurity trial of 1910. Now
let some figure Filbert with a bun
die of sharp pencils determine how
much Whirly would have returned
on a show parlay.
BOXING-LeW Diamond, the ro-
tund manager known in pugilistic
social circles as the Honest Brake
man." believes the unexpected tri-
umph scored by Sergt. Joe Muscato
of Buffalo over Lem Franklin a few
days ago is merely the first of many
surprises which may come from
the army.

lHYDRANT REPORT

No Protest Of Investiga-
ptiOn Committees Data
.Materializes at Farley

~ Republican Aldermanic Leader
burton Walker failed to attack the
report Of the committee named to
investigate the inspection of by
drpntg by the street department at
last nights aldermanic meeting In
the city hall.
Advance runnors had It Walker,
who has criticized the way hydrants
have been inspected because Of two
aEecent disastrous fires where n.y.
Grants were defective, would raise
q protest at the parley, but the pro-
test failed to materialize.
Walker, on the other hand, urged
chat every effort be made to see
s9hat all hydrants are in working Or
der, but admitted that 1t is almost
physically impossible for the street
department to know when a by.
drant Is damaged because Of the
number OF automobiles which park
near the plugs. Damage to a plug
might even happen Immediately
aeter the inspection is made, he
sided.
@Doubie caution should be exer-
&ked by inspectors because OF the
list IRE, asserted Republican Al
dssnaan George Kingston. He
claimed inspection Of the faulty
Meriden road hydrant showed the
paving around the plug was not
satisfactory. =
Aldermanic Leader Patrick Shea,
Democrat, told the members the
committee had reported that the
hydrant inspections were enforced
zaccording to charter requirements,

twice monthly in the winter. More
frequent inspections could be or

Later, Alderman Kingston re-
minded the board that the same
committee appointed to consider
the investigation of fire MIGRANTS
had also been delegated to consider
the condition of the fire hose of
the fire department. When Alder
man Shea told him that the fire
board Is already considering this
question, he said that apparently
the fire board had taken the uues-
tion out Of the aldermen's hands,
The board granted the petition of
Mary Mulvey of 70 Plank road for

granted the petition of Ruth Beadle

'USO CAMPAIGN
OPENS TONIGHT
300 Volunteer Workers to
Gather at YMCA for Of
fetal Start

, Mayor vincent A. Scnlly, COM
menting on the USO campaign
which opens this evening with .
dinner meeting Of 800 volunteer
workers at the Y. M. @. A., today
issued the following statement:
We are raising an army Of four
and one-half million men to win
the war. Many Of these men are all
ready enrolled and are daily en-
gagged in training and fighting.
while training and fighting they
are under military orders whether
they be in the army, navy or
marine corps. When they are for
tunate enough to have a few hours
free time, they are on their own.
The folks at home are interested in
making that free time as pleasant
as possible.
A year ago the United Service
Organizations was established by
national service groups interested
in the welfare, morale and recrea-
ton of the men and women Of our
armed forces. These organizations
are the National Catholic Comnu-
nifty Service, the Young Mems
Christian Association, the Jewish
Welfare Board, the Travellers Aid
Association and the Salvation Army.
During the past year these
groups acting together as the
United Service Organizations (USO)
have supervised and provided recre-
alton for many thousands Of our
troops. BY March Of this year the
USO was operating CAT clubs and
units in A states and overseas.
With an expanding army, navy
and marine corps, the. activities Of
the USO will increase. Waterbury
raised Its quota last year and this
year we have to furnish $4,000 to
do our part. Our drive starts to-
day and will continue until June IL.
If we had the opportunity we
would be glad to entertain Our boys
here at home; under existing con-
ditions we are fortunate to be able
to rely on our own organizations to
provide q home atmosphere. We
have to supply the means to pro-
vide the necessary recreation and
I urge that everybody contribute as
generously as possible so that our
own boys will be as comfortable rs
war conditions will permit. USO Is
doing a grand Job and we must see
to 1t that the good work is con-
tinued. If you are not contacted,
