 Gagain got his high single, 1858, in his first effort for the Water williams; a single, which has been tied but not bettered this season; as Rotella of the Guy Pugra out fit has 153 game.

When Forrest Cady Chet Thomas catching and the Boston club need ed runs, he didn't hesitate to pick up his bat and say Nov I'll take over," and he usually did with dis astrous :-fects to the other side He believed in ht- ting the first good ball.
 Carrigan was a courageous athlete. He engaged sizabe George Moriarty in that rarity of the diamond "a real fist fight
 On squeeze play in Detroit, which Moriarty had beaten, Carrigan blocked the third baseman at the plate while waiting for the ballong enough to retire him.
 Fists flew for several minutes The players knew both men could take of themselves, let them go They wanted to see it. It super-duper heavy cops broke it up.

ASK USE OF PIN BOYS UNDER 1e
 YEARS CF AGE

Just how much activity local bowling alleys owners have exerted in behalf of the pinboy situation on all organized scale, could not be learned this morning, but many owners throughout the state, so hard up" for boys to set up pins so that their businesses can keep going, have secured the names of thousands of bowlers or a petition presented to Governor Raymond E. Baldwin yesterday; with the urgent appeal to use his wartime powers to allow use of pinbyos less than 16 years of age flor the duration"
 Opposition
 State Labor Commissioner Corne- Illus J. Danaher has strictly upheld the law and actively opposed hir. ing of boys under IS in bowling ale leys because of alleged physical and mental detriment as far as school work is concerned. On the other hand, the alleys are faced with clos. ing or law violation, which might involve legal action by the state, as wartime jobs have made 1t impos- sible to secure enough boys of 10 and older, who can make $30 Q week now against $10 or less before Pearl Harbor.
 A petition signed by thousands of Connecticut bowlerS, asking that Governor Baldwin use his war pow. CTS to suspend present state laws which forbid the employment of children under 16 years old as pir- boys, was presented Wednesday by representatives of a Connecticut as. sociation of bowling alley operators.
 Although many groups have urged such a move, the Governor has hesitated to suspend the age lim- itations taking the view that al. though the alleys do provide rec. creational facilities for war workers. the need for pinboys is not vital enough to the general war effort to warrant revision of the law. Bowling alley operators from all parts of the state are urging the reduction in the age limit, potest. ing that they are unable to get sufficient numbers of boys above the legal age limit to man the al- leys. They point out that most of the boys over IS have taken more remunerative jobs.
 Want Law Upheld
 Other groups, religious and social organizations have at the same time urged the Governor and officials of the State Labor Department not to suspend the age limitations to allow boys IA and IS years old to take bowling alley jobs. They point out that the nigh work and the type of work is not conductive to better ment of morals or temperament. They also point to the physical dangers to which the pinboyS are exposed.
 These groups, although they value of bowling alleys as recreational centers, advocate retention the present statutes. "If the present number of available pinboys Is in. sufficient" they say, 'let the bowl. CTS take turns in setting up their own pins."
 For several months, State Labor Commissioner Cornelius J. Danaher has been urged to do something to allow the alley operators to employ younger boys. The commissioner has opposed the proposal and has conducted an active campaign to make sure that the law was not be. ing violated.

Somewhere in the South Pacific battle area, possibly in the vicinity of the New Hebridies island where Connecticut boys could be located at this writing, five of them, in- cluding Rev. John F. Culliton of St. Thomas church, got together for a picture that was just great to cast eyes upon as it bloSsomed out this morning from the first sports page of the Hartford COUR- ANT. In addition to Rev. Culli- ton, known to 90 per cent of the sportSwriters of Connecticut, because of his attendance at their AL liance dinners, there is "Chuck" Nc Carthy of the Bristol PRESS: Bob zaiman of the Hartford COURANT.
 Dick Conway, former New Bri- tain HERALD reporter and Joe Riley, a Bristol high footballer, well known by mary Bell City opponents of Tommy Monahan teams. All five of them smile broadly from the pie ture, though Mccarthy and Zaiman look as though they could stand a little porterhouse steak once in a while.
