Former Braue Has Great Defensiue Record
EDDIE MILLER OF GIN CY REDS SHORTSTOP KING
By PAUL SCHEFFELS


 United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Aug. 11.-(UP)-The Cincinnati Reds and Brooklyn Dodgers collide today at Ebbets Field, but important as the series will be to both National league clubs, Eddie Miller-as an individ- ual-will command almost as much attention as the score.
 The Reds are trying to overtake the second place Pirates, and the Dodgers are strivig to keep out of the second division, but Miller is pointing for a hitherto unattain- able standard of fielding among shortstops.
 the Braves to the Red this spring took along major defensive mark of .983. This season even that standard is ready to fall before the king of the shortfielders.
 In 1942, Miller committed only 13 errors while tackling TAB chances in 142 games to better the mark of .978 hung up by Johnny Cooney in 1927 for the National league and the .976 chalked up by Deacon Scott for the American in 1918.
 High Average
 This year the 26-year-old native of Pittsburgh, has participated in 102 games and while handing out 353 assists and making PIT putouts, he has committed only six errors. He's fumbling only one grounder to compile an average of .990.
 Miller has participated in 78 dou- ble plays and in 36 of those he has been the pivot man. With just about tWo-thirdS of the season gone, Eddie can easily better the major league mark of 128 double plays participated in and in addition may lead his team to new two-ply club record.
 Cincinnati holds the major league mark for double plays, 194, and this season has registered 122 to come within firing distance of a new standard.
 Yanks Walloped
 There were no games scheduled in the National league yesterday and only two in the American the Browns belting the Yankees, 10-2 and the White Sox tripping the Red Sox, Az in night game.
 Denny Galehouse scattered II Yankee blows as George McQuinn and Chet Laabs set the St. Louis slugging pace. McQuinn slapped out his seventh homer of the year in the first inning and Laabs let loose with his 18th in the fourth. Bud Metheny homered for the Yankees.
 Ed Smith, making his first home appearance since he was suspended for being out of condition on July 8, stopped the Red Sox with six hits for his seventh success, tri- umph that put Chicago into undis- puted possession of third place.
 A three-run sixth inning in which rookie George Metkovichs wild throw let in the final run of the frame, put Chicago in front to stay
 YESTERDAYS STAR-Ed Smith who held Boston to six hits and pitched the White Sox to Az tri- umph.

St. Lucy's SoftbolI
Aces Win From BG'S 5-(

The Aces playing with consider ably weakened lineup, to the sur prise of all the spectators won easily over BG,s to the tune of to 0.
 The BG's sadly missed the Syn- kowicz brothers and their power full bats. They were also missing a good right arm in the pitching box. This was evident right from the start when in the Aces half of the first, Palladino and Ripaldi walked and then Joe Vertuli and Koslowski gained first on errors. Bob Jacovino came through with a dou- ble and as the dust settled it be- came evident that the strong BG's had their hands full, trailing all ready by four runs. Joe Vertuli crossed the plate again in the sixth with the final Ace tally.
 Jerry Faraci and Ted Bojarski dis tinguished themselves at bat for the BGS each of them collecting two out of four.
 In the BG's last half inning the stands weret thrilled to see both Vito Polletta and Jerry Faraci hit safely. They are two of the sma:- est BG players. All thought that now surely the rally would start which would clinch the game for the BG's. The Aces however held firm retiring Fritzski and Smokey Summa in short order.

K U Listening?
with CHARLES MANN,

Hollywood has been unsuccessful in its effort to invade the realm of radio for the purpose of exploiting the medium for greater advertising advantages. It has only accom- pliShed intellectual movie scenario productions which star glamor queens who are entirely unsuited to the medium.
 Too many movie producers, writers, editors, actors and actresses are also of the opinion that the medium of radio is to be used by them only as an avocational item, never suspecting for moment that their ignorance of this medium re- fleets upon their own accomplish mentS. It is time they realized that radio demands staff of people that has studied its sensitivities and can comply with its needs.
 Take any number of them. Cecil B. DeMille'S Lux Theater of the air, for example, does nothing more

 Pat Quilter started a real cripple" Sunday when he assigned "Buzzy" McGrath to center field. Mac" has had plenty of hard luck this season sustaining an injured ankle earlier in the year and only recently suf- fering an injured thumb on his defense job.
 President Bill Derwin today an- nounced the following umpiring as- signments for next Sunday: Hills vs. Aviglianese, Bill Stanton behind the plate and Fay Vincent on the bases; Scovills vs. Sacred Hearts, Pat Slat- tery behind the plate and Jimmy Crichton on the bases.
 The Bauby's Beach betting frater- nity are laying to 5 that the Washington Hills will win the City league championship, and seven bucks will get you ten If you think that the Aviglianese will win Sum- day. However, with North Finders snatching up every dollar of Hill money in sight, 1t is expected that the Hills will be only to 5, when the teams take the field for the all- important skirmish.
 All the sports writers will be in attendance Sunday for the presenta- tion of the Al Kellie Memorial trophy to Crosby High. The trophy idea was the suggestion of Henry Brophy, American sports writer. Among the members of the trophy committee who will attend are Hank O'Donnell, Chick Kelley, John A. Cluney, Doc" McInerney.

Reymond Bakers Annual Outinq

The Raymond Bakers held their annual outing Saturday at Paradise Grove on the Meriden road The Softball game between the married men ard single men was the main attraction of the day. The benedicts won by the score of 10 to 6. Carl Anderson and Charles Rotellas took the laurels on the field and at the bat.
 The Rodeo attraction was a WOW. Tony Napoi, Jim Smith, Ned Sea- tena, and Reed Smith showed their horses off to perfection. "Broncho Busting" Pete Guglielmo did some trick riding for the gathering and brought them to their feet with howls., Pete's feature was a flying leap from the heet-footed steed, and his only thought after his hair-raising feat was to get one of Chef dor "Yak" Charella's big juicy hamburg sandwiches, though "Yah" said he was in no con- dition to appreciate eating any, but Pete persisted all afternoon to appease his appetite.
 The committee deserve a lot of credit for putting on the events of the day and the boys were in an appreciative mood. The commit tee consisted of Ralph Solury, Frank Charella, Charles Rotella, Peter Guglielmo and Ernie Archambault.
 Yaki Charella was chief cook and Broncho Busting Gugie was chief bartender and they did a swell job.
 Andrew Grillo and Jack Hennes- sey were tied in the 100-yard dash.
 Ernest Conrad, Arthur Voghet, Ned Sparpert, Sam Mussiony, Tom Claffey. John Wiggins competed in 8 game of "Morla' but they forgot to keep score.
 Frank Rotella still thinks team from the SS. Peters League can wallop the Bakers.
 The line up of the softball teams follows:

GROWING BOOSTERS BANNED

Glendale, Cal. CUP)-It took the city council just one month of argument and legal research to draw up water-tight ordinance banning growing rosters from the city. The ordinance is so strict, it is believed not even growing hen can gets by its terms. It outlaws "any rooster, animal or fowl that makes any sound, crow or cry that disturbs the peace of any neighborhood." Penal ties are provided for persons in- volved in violation, but no provis- ion is made for the rooster.

There's one thing certain, and that is that Tony Romaniello and his crew are going to battle the Hills to the last ditch. Indication of this was given last Sunday when the game ended in wild confusion with Aviglianese followers sWarming on to the playing field. The team itself however cannot be held responsible for the antics of the fans.
 Nothing short of an earthquake will keep the fans away from the playoff tilt next Sunday which will also be "Al Kellie day"
 The late MT. Kellie, former City league umpire, was one Of the most capable arbiters the city ever pro- duced. His friends were legion and no doubt they will all be out for the testimonial day.
 After next Sundays games, four league contests remain to be play ed. The Hills have two to play be- sides the Avigs clash. They will be with Naugatuck and the Sacred Hearts. Scovills meets Middlebury q week from Sunday and Johnny Towards Sacred Hearts have dates with the Avigs and the Hills follow ing that postponed game with Scovills this coming weekend. President Bill Derwin announces that the schedule will be played played out regardless of the out come of Sundays all important Ayigs- Hills setto.
 That much talked about foot race between Razor" Doran, Bobby Pal mer, Hank Gagain and several others will be run off as a part Of Sundays festivities. Five dollars worth of War Saving Stamps will be awarded the winner.
 Gerry Floods four hit pitching against Naugatuck was a master piece. The Middlebury finger is easily one of the seasons outstand- ing moundsmen.
 Manager "Packy" Shea insists that his Scovill team will wind up in first division. and that If the Avigs collapse, he will drive his crew nome" in second position.
 Nate Fidler, Bank street tailor and -the-wool City league fan, predicts an Aviglianese victory over the Hills Sunday. Nate thinks that the strain is telling on Pat Quilter,s team and that they could use Larry Mullen nicely right now.
 Joe Samoska, former Thomas Club pilot. can't understand why the Middlebury team isn't better than the 500 ball club which the stand ing shows them to be. with that Naktenis on the mound asserts the popular North Main street fireman. those Middies should be in right now"
 Washington Hill followers can't understand why Bobby Banziger doesn't rate starting assignment with the Hills in such an important game as the one with the Avigs. Banziger is rated to be even better this season than he was last year
