WakefieId
Turns Trick
(By Associated Press)


Can Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio.
Bobby Feller, Johnny Vandermeer
and scores OF other big leaguers in
service pick up where they left off
when they come marching home
from war?
The question that has puzzled
club owners and fans alike was
partially answered yesterday when
Dick Wakefield. recently de
tached'. from the Nays Iowa pre-
flight school, stepped into a De-
troit uniform and banged out two
hits In the Tigers 81 slaughter OF
Chicago.
Wakefield has not seen active
service, and soon may be called
away from the Tigers by the Army,
but a parallel can be drawn between
him and others who have been
much more distantly removed from
big league pitching. Judging from
first day impressions. it may not
be so tough for the stars to resume
their careers.
The $4,000 dandy is out OF the
Navy because the need for filters
apparently has decreased. He has
been away from the big show for
only half a year after hitting .3l6
and leading the league in total hits
and doubles as a rookie. Others
making a more violent change may
find the REIMBURSEMENT more diff
cult.
Wakefield's two hits helped the
Tigers rout Orval Grove with an
eight.run squirt in the second as
Paul Dizzy" Trout coasted TO his
18th win.
St. Louis held its 21a game mar
gin in the American flag race by
scoring three times in the tenth for
a Al victory in the second game
after bowing to Cleveland, 6-5 in
the opener OF a two-night double
header. Chief Reynolds won and Al
Smith lost for Cleveland, with Nels
Potter getting the st. Louis victory
and Sig Jakucki the defeat.
Boston and the New York Yam
KEGS divided two games as they
opened a vital siX-game series. The
Yanks took the first, AZ, as Ernie
Bonham outpitched Rookie Red Bar
rett with the help OF Bud Metheny's
two.run homer. Yank Terry scat
tered six New York blows in the
finale after the Sox hoped on
Alley Donald for four unearneu
runs in an S-i triumph.

Naugatuck, June 13. - The lead CTS of Naugatuck industry in 1844 will live again in the episode en- titled, "A Knife Button and a Shoe" which is part of the pageant being presented next Saturday com- memorating the Tooth anniversary of the establishment of the Borough of Naugatuck.
 Directed by Frank Jones, "A Knife, a Button, and a Shoe will reenact one of the most Important scenes in industrial history-the making of the frs txulcanized over shoe.
 The foresight of William DeFor- est, Milo Lewis and Samuel Lewis together with William H. Elliott of NewHaven brought to Naugatuck the honor of being the first town where vulcanized rubber products were made.
 This new industry was destined to sweep the world and have a pro- found effect on the lives of all its peoples. From the very beginning rubber was source of comfort and protection of health and today 1t is eraching new pinnacles of service.
 Another important business was flourishing in Naugatuck in l844. Eban Futile was operating his Hoe Shop and the quality of his imple- ments was known throughout the country.
 The banks of Pulling Mill Brook, now known as Prospect Brook were lined with small shops making a va- riety of buttons, buckles and similar items.
 From it's very beginning Nauga- tuck has been a center of industrial activity and its citizens can be proud of their contribution to the Ameri- can way of life.
 Those taking part in this pre- sentation are Harold Stinson as Will liam DeForest. Montgomery Wool son as Milo Lewis, M. A. Phelan, Jr., as Samuel J. Lewis, Francis Clard as William H. Elliott of New Haven, Miss Doris Magnuson as Ellen Goodyear and Edward Hahn as her father, Charles Goodyear.
 Naugatuck merchants are assist ing in reminding residents that the borough is observing its tooth anni- versary this week by displaying in their store windows 8 variety of articles used commonly when Nau- gatuck was known as Salem Bridge and was part of Waterbury.

The present lease, which began Feb. 1, 1941 was for a three-year period and carried with it an op- ton for renewal for three more years under the same terms, with no increase in rental.
 Such option was on the condi- ton that Ralph Pasho give the board 30-day notice before the expiration date which was last Jan. 3l. A letter dated Jan. 1 noti- flying the board of his intention to exercise the three-year option was read at last nights meeting. But, according to Warden Leo J. Bro- phy, 1t was not received until April.
 It was pointed out by John Finsel that MT. Pasho did not give the board the necessary 30-day notice on renewal of the option before the lease expired and therefore he contended, the board is not bound to grant him the renewal.
 Louis De Carlo challenged MT. Finsel to prove the town is losing money by the rental and added if it can be shown the town is not making expenses the board could raise the rental price,
 According to the lease the town is required to supply heat and wa ter and MT. Pasho pays for elec- tricity in the theater. Richard Parkinson, who urged 1t be referred to the town committee, and MT. Pasho reminded that the borough is likely to get only 30 per cent of the coal 1t had last year and said 1t might come to a situation where 1t would be necessary to decide which to close for several weeks because of lack of heat, the theater or the town hall.
 Richard Parkinson pointed out the lease does not specify the amount of heat, the town has to furnish the theater and said if necessary the town could give 30 or or 40 degrees of heat and still com ply with the lease. Richard Durkin felt MT. Pasho should address the board at its next session.
 Warden Brophy announc: at the meeting that the lavatories in the town hall will be painted soon. Board members deplored the disfig- uration of the lavatories by chil- dren.
