 the tidings that they intend to
 keep up the name of the base
 ball BOatmen, who are really
 as famous with this section as
 that beer that made Milwaukee
 famous. However, a real con-
 flict looms in the direction of
 the OckfOrdS. If the DieSelS
 decide to play ball on a Sum-
 day that the firemen also are
 scheduled on, and without
 some of those smoke eaters
 the Diesels couldn't get by,
 watch out. I more than be-
 lieve that things are going to
 pop along the diamond rialtO
 this coming summer.
 Re-Basketball: What more can be said then already has been said about the DieselS. Facts and figures found elsewhere on these sacred pages illustrate this point.
 Re-Boxing: If there is any
 patent medicine Sc1an Oculating
 these passages and thinks that
 Jim Mundell, Eastern COnnec-
 ticut's one and only fiStic pro-
 mOter, is foOling about the
 break he had with the Ocean
 Beach Park Board, he had bet
 ter wipe the drOOl away and
 come down to earth. Mundell
 will meet a person half way
 and expects you to come the
 other half. He never has pulled
 dishonest spade out of the
 deck but he will call that spade
 what he thinks, If he is right.
 Re-Golf: The pedagogues of the fairways can yell their silly fool heads off about any attempt to abrogate par, but it is this corners opinion that it would be the biggest thing that has hit the fair sport of pill and shaft, since Hoot Mon sunk his first birdie over in the land of the heather.
 The eradication of par would
 help the duffer who can't shoot
 44O yards on the par 4 fifth.
 Those shots belong to the Sam
 my Snead's, and Gene Sara
 zen's and Jimmy ThOmpsOn's.
 Golf, as it is played today is
 too damn intricate and above
 Pat and Mike from over on the
 other side of the tracks. Base
 ball uSed to be like that until
 they woke up and took 800
 ton sheet and ironed out the
 rough places. The game of golf
 isn't as popular as 1t should be.
 If par was thrown out the win-
 dow, the beginners would flock
 around so thick that one would
 think the seven year lOcuts
 have arrived over Aunt Ida's
 victory garden.

 Putting one little word after the other and what dramatic appeal the second bond drive has, to wit: They Give Their Lives; You Lend Your Money. Think 1t over broth CT and don't put off too long. . Jumbo, BPOE 36O's former ice queen and E B sports follower. is ticket collector at the new bridge. Wow, what . smile New Lon- don,s copper Lou Wheeler gave me the day after his beloved Braves had tipped Yale in a pot of kalso- mine. We wonder if Al Ponjetti a1d Dune Carson are still romano ing the Allston wigwam. Matt Turner, the Red Sox sage of New London's Main Street, thinks if there wasn't any war, the Gold Bricks would be a cinch. The old sage looks good but has one com plaint the busses run too regular past Hammy'S and too much on time. |. How come Andy Peters. one of the real towers of strength behind that Diesel line, and former worker here at the plant was left out of the awarding of the sweaters. and Charlie Pinch, who is almost baseball legend around the yard? Dan Shea wants to be rem embered to all his Yellow Dog friends and still is willing to bet he and Peg Elward could beat a Golart to Murphy heave. Good old Dan, the world grows older but he
