SAE1AAg professional at the Municipal course has a GOOD NEIGHBOR policy of his own, which will probably result in some added golf competition this season; despite lack of golf balls, caddies and transportation. Joe has already arranged for 20 man Mu- nicipal team from Waterbury, cap- tained by Jack Strew to go to New Haven for a joust with the 20 best players that the Elm City course can produce, with 8 return match to be played later. Bracken, who al- so works in war plant while at tending to the daily and weekend wants of scores of local players; is also hopeful that home and home match may be arranged with Hart ford, Meriden and New Britain mu- nicipal courses while the Fairchild Wheeler course of Bridgeport may also be interested. Because of his work. the local city golf pro will not be able to make the trip to play against the New Haven Municipal golf pro. Tom McDonough, and has assigned Jack Strew to handle the local team en route and on the course relative to pairings; handi- caps, etc.
 The idea may turn out to be an inter city golf competition good for many years and extending well into the postwar period.

 To anyone who saw Max Baer QUIT COLD to Joe Louis while the California boxer was counted out on one knee, and refused the referees suggestion to get up and continue the fight; his current explanation and braggadoccio from hospital in Texas is slight ly disgusting-to say the least. Max says he knew, and his friends knew, he never was a quitter, but he wouldn't get up and fight while he was able to. 50 what DOES that make him? Anyone who was within a mile of Baer's TRAINING CAMP for the Louis fight, knows that he could not sleep because of FRIGHT, a week before the battle with Louis, who now says "Baer gave me my toughest fight" Both of them ought to be elected life members of the ANANIAS Club, for state ments like those they have given out within the past week Terryville's Pete Jablonowski (Ap- pleton) now has a real good idea why Coach Jack Barry has sent more big league baseball talent "up there" than any college coach in the country. Barry's H-C lads knocked off Appleton, former Washington pitcher, 5-4 yester- day the former Terryville lad, now U. s. Navy lieutenant head ing the classy Quonset Point, R. I. team, one of the best baseball units in the armed services Genial Jack Barry,s daughter, Joan, is a Navy WAVE stationed at Quonset Point.

 Mayor John Monagan will warm up" with City Clerk Joe Shea, to- day and tomorrow, in preparation for the official opening of the new, TEN TEAM CYO baseball league Wednesday evening; when Hizzoner losses the first ball, at the invita- tion of Rev. Philip Hussey, director of Catholic Youth Organization sports activities in this city . Joey Nunzio, local battler, who works in a garage, survived near knockout from Armand Michaud, Maine stablemate of Lefty La- Chance, stopped last Tuesday in Hartford. Nunzio was having things his own way when he was clipped with left hook and uppercut that knocked him down. However, and unlike brave Maxie Baer, he got up, glassy -eyed, but the kid could not finish him off. Tn the next round, Joe had too much courage for the young Frenchman who retired" with an injured KNUCKLE (plus few stomach shots that scared hell out of hirn) so Nunzio, nearly kayoed himself gets credit for a TKO.
