In the hoops 20 year history is dus

Hamilton Park when Pat QuilterY
undefeated Washington Hills clash
with the highly touted and once
beaten Naugatuck Highlanders. It's
been a long time since the "hill''
VS. aroused to such fever heat over
oe of it's ball clubs, but this years
edition under the able tutelage of
Pat Quilter, really has the fans in
the upper Baldwin street section
talking day and night.
There are no out-of- town ball
players on the Quilter club and no
sensational pitchers like Hal Smul-
len and Pete Naktenis. The Hills
are just bunch of youngsters with
the same fire and dash that char
acterized the pennant romp of the

not have the services of Hal Smul-
len this weekend but they will be

of the Kansas City Blues or Joe
Kwasniewski of Fort Devens, either
of whom would be to 5 bets to
pin a first defeat on the Hills. A
setback for the Quiltermen will
again put the min a tie with the
crack Naugy outfit and will also
make 1t possible for either Middle
bury or Scovills to get into the thick
