The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-07-21


 It will be Jack Dalys Middlebury "Sod-Busters" against Pat Cutters league leading Washington Hills in the main bout" next Sunday.
 You can hear a pin drop in the U. s. Post Office any Monday morning after Middlebury gets beat, but when they win, Jack Daly is in his glory. T told you so-ing" the office jockeys.
 Daly was on the verge of col lapse" last Sunday when shortly be- fore noon he received wire from Pete Naktenis to the effect that the big left handler had suffered an attack of oak poisoning and couldn't come down to pitch in the crucial game against the Avigs, It was quite a jolt to Jack after passing along the word for the Middies followers to bat their shirts on the Pomper- aug champs.
 Pat Slattery and co-Worker Jimmy Crichton are all for staging an 'Um- pires Day wherein all the proceeds would be turned over to the indi- cator handlers who are unfortunate enough to draw those overtime ball games of which there have been many this season.
 Greatest two-bits worth of enter tainment in the state is the way Johnny Carroll puts it when talk of the City league crops up. Johnny hasn't missed league Sunday at Hamilton park in years, and can't understand why the Tribunes didn't field a team when he sees the man. ner in which "Packy" Shea has re- vived the Scovill club.
 Manager Milt Weissman of Naug- atuck could have ben floored by the kick of butterfly Sunday when he walked tardily into the park and saw big John White pitching for the Highlanders and the score-board reading, Scovill 3, Naugy, 0.
 The youthful borough baseball magnate deserves a lot better CO., operation from the squad than he has been getting. Certainly the fans can't say that he didn't and isn't trying to give the Rubber-toWn winner. Even though first place IS rather a bit out of reach for the Naugatuck outfit, that second place money is worthwhile fighting for
 Maybe Weissman can get some consolation from the predictions of Hollywood H. Harmony, H. H. h. figures that both the Middlebury and Scovill teams will knock off the ills on the two coming Sundays, and that the NaugatuCk club will nave chance to tie up on the last Sunday of the season which is Alex Relic Day"
 Don't be surprised if next season finds covered stands on the 1lrst diamond at amilton Park. Tt would be a great thing for baseball at the park says Charley Allen of the Idylwood club.
 Johnny DeVito of the Scovill nine and Bobby Creatorex Of the Hllls hit 14-karat homers last Sunday that brought back memories ol ether years when both were mem bers of the championship Thomas club.
 Probably no other fan Of the thousands who have witnessed the games at the park this season gets any greater kick out of the contests than ex-president Harry X. Cashln. Which isn't unusual for Harry De- cause he is and always was boost CT of amateur sports.
 Quite verbal meles broke out Ill the press boa last Sunday when the subject of the best athlete ever to come out of Waterbury came up. Jim Barnes, Barnard school Janltor: Mike Conlon, superintendent of the Wilby high school building. and

~ way TO know that AS far as
South was concerned, the three
heart bid simply showed a bid
dable heart suit. But then when
South bid three no trump, and
North bid four spades, South re-
allied that the three heart bid
had been a cue-bid and a slam
try.
Here is how South knew:
North must have very powerful
spade support, TO take a chance
on a game contract in suit
South had never rebid Now,
with such strong spades, why
did North 20 through the stages
of bidding two diamonds and
three hearts, instead of jumping
10 three spades Immediately?
The only explanation is that
North had a slam in mind. and
was trying 10 give information
about his high cards in other
suits. AT least. South knew that
North must have hearts con-
trolled.
South bid five diamonds 10
show that he could control that
suit. And since any bid but a
pass by South al this point
would have 10 be slam try,
North went Immediately to six
