 Boston, June 10-(UP)-All was quiet in St. Elizabeth's hospital in suburban Brighton when suddenly Casey Stengel roared, "I'll murder those umpires now; at last I've got the weapons"
 Stengel is like a compressed bum dle of TINT. He is ready to ex- plode June IS when he resumes ac- tive Ship of the Braves. That will be nearly two months after he had his right shinbone shattered in an automobile acci- dent.
 Casey, leaning back on his cot with his leg in cast, said: T have just had myself measured for crutches. They will help me bear up under tlris cast until the Braves get home again. Then I'll really move in-kicking the umpires with my cast and batting them with my crutches."
 Umps Good Luck
 He added: "It's lucky thing for those umpires that I was tied to this cot during the close games of the Braves recent western tour. They won only three and lost nine on that trip but most of their de- feats were of short order or over the Xtra-session route"
 The Braves, once In second place, now are in fifth.
 q guess the boys played over their heads early in the season just to give me something to sing about about on my hospital cot" Stengel said. But you could forget about me and the inspiration, because they had two grand guys directing them in my place-Coaches George Kelley and Bob Coleman"
 Stengel expected much of the 1943 squad. And the men upon whom he depended to lift the Braves into first division in the National league came through.
 Stengel mentioned better pitch ing and tighter fielding play due to the efforts of Pitchers Red Barrett and Nate Andrews and Outfelder Charlie Workman and Infielders Johnny Mccarthy and Bill Wietel- mann.
 We got a better club this sea- son." he added. "Whether 1t would be more effective if I were out of the hospital or on the bench don t know. But, if we have those close and extra-inning games when the team comes home, you'll see me in there swinging at the umpires with my crutches and my right-let cast

CROSBY, WILEY MEET SATURDAY IN TITLE CAME
LeavenwOrth 8=l3 Loser to local Rivals in Three
 Way PIayOff

Crosby and Wilby baseball squads will have it out on the Municipal Stadium diamond for the third time this season, 8 most unusual pro- cedure; brought about by a triple tie and subsequent playoff agreed upon by three coaches. Yesterday the two teams had two runs apiece going into the fourth inning, when things were as even as two and two; but Crosby broke loose with run making exhibition that gained seven runs in the next two innings and an eventual 13 to 8 victory over Leav- enWorth. Each team scored four runs in the ninth.
 As a result, Crosby now has Wilby to beat Saturday for the city high school championship, the game to begin at 2:30 p. m. or there abouts, as Wilby had drawn a bye, for position to meet the winner of yesterdays game for the title.
 Too Many Walks
 Plenty of hits and runs was the order of the day in the Crosby-Tech game. Nine bases on balls, issued by the usually reliable Bob Henne of Tech, hurt the chances of the Leavenworth lads coached by Bill Tracy. Tedy Kobrin, Crosby cap tain and Win Petteway kept up their steady hitting of the past two weeks; with each getting three of the 12 hits off Henne's delivery; while Techs Bender and Freddie Thornley duplicated for Tech with three hits each. Tech finished well, with six runs in the last three in nings but Crosby had too much of a lead, when Henne went bad in the fifth and sixth innings, plus the fact that Crosby got four more runs at the top of the ninth Summary:

 Bristol, June 10-What may prove to be Bristols banner sports enter tainment in years will be offered tomorrow afternoon at MuzZy field when the sparkling Philadelphia Phillies of the National league ap- pear in a twilight exhibition game against the Meriden Contelcos at 5:30 D. m. for Servicemen'S benefit. Prospects today were an even larger crowd than the 3,000-odd who saw the Boston Braves in a previous eX- hibition here this year, would flock through the turnstiles in spite of the sharp curtailment on pleasure driving. The game has really taken hold in Bristol and the fans here can't wait for the arrival of Bucky Harris and the players who burned up the National circuit, set Phil adelphia league attendance record, and made thousands of new ad- mirers during the fuor weeks of the pennant chase.
 Gifts for Servicemen
 The contest, sponsored by the recreation committee of the city's Community Chest and United War fund, will have a worthy cause be- hind it. The recreation committee will turn its proceeds over to the fund for the purchase of service mems gifts. Plenty of military &C., tivities have been arranged in connection with the evenings pro- gram.

With the impressive victory yesterday at Hamilton park, went the Major Division championship of the league, the minor division win ner yet to be decided.

Ordinary Bout May Draw $50,OOO in Pittsburgh
 Tonight
By LEONARD APFELBAUM United Press Staff Correspondent


 Pittsburgh, June 10.-UP)-Frit- zie Zivic, former WelterWeight cham pion puts his chances of continued activity in the ring on the line to- night against rugged Jake Lamotta and pre-fight odds have installed the New Yorker as ' to 5 favorite to halt the career of the last of the fighting Zivics.
 A crowd of close to 10000 is ex- pected to pay about $50,000 at Forbes Field for the contest sched- uled for 10 rounds.
 The only advantage the Pitts burgher will have over Lamotta is experience. The New York boxing stylist will have an edge In age, weight, speed and possibly endur- ance.
 Six Pound Edge
 Both fighters wound up tapering off drills yesterday at about the same weight they registered on May 24, the original date of the bout. Weather conditions caused a post ponement. Zivic scaled 151 1-2 then and the 20-year-old Lamotta, 157 1-2.
 T know FritEie fights a cute counter-fig Lamotta said, but I'm going to try and change that. I'll try and make him change his tactics and see if can make a fight of it.

CITY AMATEUR LEAGUE
 FACTS AND FIGURES

That red face which Manager Johnny Howard of the last place Sacred Hearts is sporting is not the result of the failure of his team to win a game in the first round. Johnny exposed himself to the sun too long last Sunday.
 Hal Smullen, Notre Dame pitching star, will be back on the mound for Naugatuck Sunday when Milt Weissman's charges meet Scovills for the second time.
 The double umpire system will be in effect every Sunday henceforth. Joe OConnor, former Inter State arbiter, joined the staff last Sunday and worked the bases on the ScovilI- Middlebury tilt.
 Strike-out honors last Sunday went to Lefty" Verderame of Nau- gatuck who moved down IA of the Washington Hills on strikes. Pete Naktenis of Middlebury had II against Scovills.
 Roy Talcott, eastern intercollegiate batting champion for l943, may be with the Scoyill club Sunday for the clash with Naugatuck. Talcott, who gained fame as a hurler at Princeton last season, has been con- fining his activities to outfeld pa trol duty with the Tigers this sea- son because Of his double value both as a f1y-haWk and sticker. However. it is reported that he will take the mound for the Scovill club against the borough outfit.
 Joe Brophy, former league presi- dent, was on hand Sunday in his "civvieS". Joe has received his dis charge from the Army and has again resumed his duties at the post office. He was quite pleased to see the way the league is progressing and especially so because Pat Quill ter has the Hills on top.
 The Middlebury club act like a different ball club since the acquisi- tion of Pete Naktenis. The boys are hustling and deserved the break which they got last Sunday when they pushed across the deciding run against Scovills through the medium of Thompson's balk.
 Pat Pattonelli. Tony Romaniello's new pitching find" did a great job on the mound for the Avigs in holding Johnny Towards gang to two hits Sunday. The victory was just what the Italian club needed to pep them up for the second round drive.
 The managers and officials were quite happy on hearing the reading of Treasurer Johnny Rocks ami versary report at the league meet ing Tuesday night. The league wishes to extend its sincerest thanks to Waterbury Tool, Scovills. Ameri- can Brass, Farrel Foundry, c. A.
