Redwood Chotter

There was some good bowling and 8 lot of excitement last week but after 1t was all over nothing much had happened. The Naples snapped back into form and the CedarS kept up there usual efforts each team winning two games and maintaining their place in the standing.
 Louie, Fucito puts on 8 whale of a finish in the first game to put 1t on ice for the Naples and Rocky did the same thing in the last game to salvage one game for the Wal nuts. In the first game after a tough start Louie finished up with two spares and a strike filler In his last two boxes. A nice 96 game by Betty Monico and some consistent bowling by Lucy Miele helrsd the Cedars cash in. That Flori:S trip seems to have done Betty lot of good.
 A correction on last weeks write up-It seems that Fuss Sullivan is the Coast Guard Pin Up Girl and Peg Carey a certain Production Pro ducer's Private Pin-Up Property. As a certain coluranist once said quote You can sue me if I'm wrong".
 John Cianciulli says that if he can get rid of that one bad game every week the Birches will be cinch for first place. You've got something there John and there are lot of others that would like to do the same thing.

Philadelphia, Feb. IA. = (UP) - Connie Mack, 81-year-old manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, oper- ating on the theory that they don't come back" said today that there's no place in his ball park for the "oldsters."
 We don't need them or want them," he said, "and I doubt if any of them want to come back. I'd rath- CT work with 14 or 15-year old boys" <"
 Mack argued that once a man gets by 35 or 40, he can't come back, es- pecially if he has been out of the game for g few years. There may be exceptions. he said-but not enough to do baseball any good.
 Don't worry about the game this year." he said, land don't worry about the brand of ball. The teams will be as good as they were last year and the competition will be pretty even"

CROSBY, NAUGY LEAvENWORTH
 FINISH SOON

Crosby high schools basketball squad of the current season winds up it's hoop play for the year with games on the Wilby gym surface on Wednesday and Saturday of this week. Naugatuck, 8 6S-26 winner over Wilby last Saturday, also fln- tshes its season with the Crosby game this mid-week, while the Leavenworth Tech Tigers, already a winner over Crosby meets the Leemen for the second and final time on Saturday night.
 Either or both games are very difficult to predict as to @ winner, as one or two breaks" could very well decide them. Ordinarily, Crosby would be a strong favorite to take Leavenworth, but such is not the case this season as the Tech team, while not of championship calibre, was good enough to defeat both Crosby and Wilby, within a weeks time.

 Last Saturday night, the unde- feated Torrington team, valley league champions won about as 1t pleased over Crosby, leading IS to 1 after one quarter of action; holding 8 31 to 16 edge at half time and a 20 point lead before the final period, 43-23, the final score show ing 55-32.
