HIJBBELL'S REMARKABLE STRIKEOUT SEQUENCE

Carl Hubbell flaming Babe Ruth. Gehrig, Foxx, Al Simmons and Joe Cronin in succession at the Polo Grounds in '34. Bill Dickey broke the sequence with single and then Hub whiffed Lefty Gomez, the bat ting star of the previous All-Star Game, to make 1t six strikeouts in two innings. Mel Harder's invinci- ble pitching for the winning Amer jeans.
 The old masters-Connie Mack and the late John McGraw-run- ming the works in the first All-Star Game at Comiskey Park, Chicago, in '33. Babe Ruth hit a home run, of course, and Slugger Gomez sim gled to drive in the winning run for the Americans.
 Gomez hasn't made a hit since.
 Memories and, it seems, the All- Star Game are certain to finger on.

Churchill's fan mail is pouring in

pressed the hope that every message
will be answered In time. Mr..
Churchill, he said, was very touched
with 1t ALL" and many Of the poems
and communications are being
bound into a volume to be presented
to him later.

CHANCE OF NAME
 APPROVED TODAY
John Dapkus Becomes Le- galIy John DObkins !: Title
 Clearance Sought

v John zenon A. Dapkus, 34, of Waterbury, was granted permission to change his name to John A. Dob- kins, at a hearing before Judge Ed ward J. Daly in superior court this morning. The petitioner claimed that he has used the name Dob kins" since he was in grammar school and did not know until re- gently that 1t was not his legal name. He said he used that name when he married in June, 1883, and has been known by it generally.
 Judge Edward J. Daly ruled at a short calendar hearing in superior court this morning that appoint ment of an attorney and posting of bond was not necessary in the title clearance action brought by Sadye Hodos of Ansonia against Samuel Holmes and Mary Goodale Holmes of parts unknown. The petitioner, who wishes to clear title to property on West Main street, Waterbury, sought the courts advice as to whether protection would be re- quired for the incorporating de- fendants.
 A motion for more specific state ment in the divorce action brought by Alberta Agnello of Waterbury against Joseph Agnello, also of this city, was granted in superior court. The couple married August. 1921, and the petitioner charges her hus- band with cruelty since January l, 1922.
