RANCHO ALL BUT TEARS THE COVER OFF BALL

Only 5-feet, 5-inches tall but packing 140 solid pounds. his fore hand is the most violent in cap- tivity. He all but tears the cover of the ball.
 Pancho'S serve Is successful, be- cause 1t is made with the same preparatory motion as his drive, gives the opponent no warning. He smashes with a heavy spin, has magnificent passing shots &nd a tricky combination drop and lob.
 Segura adopted the two-fisted style of play Il years ago when he took up the game. Son of a Guayaquil tennis court manager and one of seven children, he hoped to improve his health by playing. Frail, almost an invalid because of a double hernia which necessitated two operations. he was too weak to hit the ball with one hand. He has used the base ball swat ever since.

MAKES UP FOR LOSS OF RIGGS, KOvACS

Crying towels were doing a land office business when Bobby Riggs and Franke Kovacs, Nos. l and 2, respectively, turned profes- sional. Don McNeill, No. 3, an ensign in the Naval Reserve, is attached to the U. s. Embassy in Buenos Aires. Frank Parker, No. 4, is busy in Hollywood.
 It was true tennis tradition that brought Seguar along at this pro- pitious time. The game is noted for it's continuity of stars. It weathered the passing of Tilden, Vines and Budge, and Segura' s debut sends 1t whizzing past the exodus of Riggs and Kovacs.
 Colorful cabballero is bounding Pancho. He has none of KovacS' clow1is.h' proclivities but fights fiercely and is all business on the court. He blows into ball with 8 two-handed swing reminiscent of John Bromwich, the Australian star of a few years back.

Southampton, N. Y, July 24.- Just when everyone was ready to sit down and have a good cry about the future of amateur tennis, in barges Francisco Segura, the larup- ping Latin from Guayaquil, Ecua- dorr, whose title-a-week routine has net devotees in a sight foam.
 Caramel-skinned Pancho &c., gura. who looks like an advertise ment for a month at the beach, is a 21-year-old Good Neighbor with coal black hair and eyes to match.
 He aims to be our next national singles champion.

CLOUDS OBSCURE
VIEW OF ECLIPSE
Local, New England, New
York Observers Miss Out
On Phenomenon

Scores who attempted to view the
Whipple comet during the lunar
eclipse here last night which began
at 5:27, reached its zenith at 1921,
and ended at Ills, received a dis
appointment as nature went into it
decline blanketed the moon with
clouds in and shrouded it from view.
Astronomers predicted the moon
would assume a much darker APP
pearance emanating a copper glow
which is reflected from the atmos-
phere of the earth. Areas in New
York City were also denied the dis
play of the phenomenon because of
atmospheric conditions which pre-
vailed as the eclipse was in pro-
gresS.
One of the spokesman for the
Hayden Planetarium who scanned
the skies from the vantage point of
the planetarium, stated the view was
obscured and that the attaches were
unable to see it. He said that they
looked for another eclipse in August
and hoped for favorable conditions.
In central part of the country, the
eclipse was seen by observers for
about an hour. Scanners said the
phenomenon resembled an immense
copper colored balloon with a flood
light cast on it.

VICTORY GARDENS
SUBJECT OF TALK
Junior League, Witty. Gar
den Club; Among Groups
Sponsoring

"Victory Gardens" or Food for
Freedom" is the slogan coined for
the use of home gardeners by the
Department of Agriculture in
Washington.
A great deal of emphasis is being
placed on the matter of gardening
without waste, for the United
States Is confronted with short
age of seeds and fertilizers, as well
as garden tools.
The Department Of Agriculture
urges that no individual be stam-
peded into blowing up lawns or
flower gardens; or that gardens be
made where the soil is not promis-
ing or where an excess Of fertilizer
must be used. Persons uninformed
about gardening methods should be
guided by instructors. 1t is not
only uIlwise but unpatriotic to grow
gardens where the cost of materials
exceeds the value of the vegetables
produced.
These important suggestions have
been submitted to all garden clubs
as a guide to making war gardens.
For this reason. the Waterbury
Garden club and the Junior League
Garden club and the Civilian De-
tense Voluntere Office are sponsor
ing lecture on Victory Gardens" to
be held Friday, March 6, at $3.50 p,
M, at the Waterbury Womens club
The speaker will be Carl F. We'd
ell, head of the School Of Horticul-
ture at the N. Y. State Institute OF
Agriculture, Farmingdale, L. I.
Mr.. Wedell is an authority on
this subject. He is a member of the
N. Y. State Victory Garden council;
a member of the executive board Of
the Nassau County Victory Garden
council and Is directing the con.
sultants and supervisors in the
program connected with Nassau
County Victory Gardens.
He started the first course given
on vegetable growing and now l.. I
is organized to put that info1na-
ton into actual practice.
We want everyone interested in
this work to come and to bring
their friends to hear Mr.. Wedell'S
lecture on what the Home Gar
dener Can Do to Cooperate With
the Government in Raising Food
for Freedom"

LOCAL BOYS to-

Return Home After SuC-
Cessful Treatment at
NewingtOn Home

When school bells ring again fol-
lowing spring vacation in Water
bury there will be two very happy
boys returning to work-and to play
with their classmates two boys who
know how good it really Is to be ac-
tive and we'll again, for they have
been tnvalidS since the early fall Of
1910, two boys who will be glad they
can resume work with their grade
group in spite of their long months
in bed.
Richard Rangoon, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hans Rangoon of 739 Frost
road, returned to his home on Sat-
urday February %, and Harry HUI
bert, ST of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry HUI
bert, 257 Wood street, went to his
home on Sunday, March LIST, both
boys having been patients at the
Newington Home for Crippled Chill
dren at Newington, Connecticut,
since the fall of 1910, few weeks
after they were stricken with infan-
tile paralysis.
Harry was admitted to the home
on September 1910, while Richard
was admitted in early November of
1910. Both boys had to face long
period of treatment and care. For
tunately, they were transferred to
the home as soon as it was safe for
them to leave the Isolation hospital,
as the chance for ultimate and COM
plete recovery are greatly increased
by prompt and continuous treatment
in the early stages of the disability.
Careful, massage, exercise, and
pool treatments were given to each
child as prescribed, with careful
Splinting and bracing as needed at
the different stages of their pro-
greSs. During all the months of their
treatment their education was not
neglected, bedside instruction being
given as part of the regular care
provided at the Newington Home.
Several other Waterbury children
are resident patients at the New
ington Home, one of them being like
Harry and Richard, a 1910 victim OF
inf a lie paralysis all of them need
ing longtime home, hospital, and
school care regularly provided at
the Newington Home for the Grip
pied children of Connecticut.

4,2O7 ALIENS
REGISTERED HERE
Those Failing to Comply
Face Arrest, Internment
During War

Postmaster Charles A. Babin an
nourced this morning that 4,207
nationals of enemy countries have
been registered at the Alien Regis
tration bureau at the post office,
The period of registration began
Feb. 8 and continued until Feb. %,
during which period all German,
italian and Japanese nationals over
IA years Of age were required to re-
port at the post Office in order to
be flngerprinted. Each alien had to
submit three photographs.
U. S. Attorney General Francis
Biddle issued a warning recently
that violation Of the regulation
where an alien fails to comply will
be liable to apprehension, deten-
ton and internment for the dura-
ton of the war.
Those who have registered will be
required to carry the Identification
cards issued by the registration Of
flee and they must have them on
their person wherever they go. Rec
ords of the local aliens of countries
at war with this country will be
kept by the Department Of Justice

491. 1t represents approximately so
per cent of the 1922 persons given
employment through the agency Of
the local service last month.
Significant, also, is the fact that
684 women as against only 1888 men
obtained employment in February.
This was taken as indicative of the
drift toward replacement of men by
women in jobs formerly the prov
ince of the male. Recruitment OF
women to operate light machines, it
has been pointed out, would liberate
men for more arduous production
tasks.
Unemployment compensa ton
claims, which earlier this winter
we're in the ascendant, last month
dropped by 80 per cent from the
figure recorded in January.
Other placements made in Feb
ruary were: 1856 commercial and
professional, 2l2 domestic service
and 43 construction and farm. New
registrations, totalling $50, de-
creased by 221 from January's mark.
