 't doesn't make any difference what position you play just you play" is the philosophy of Bucky Yauila whose greatest love is baseball The Diesel shortstop fig you get little practice at position you'll do all right If the desire to play is strong enough.
 In high school at Chapman Tech, he second baseman but later when Wlimantic of the Conn. Pro League needed shorstop he played short "Bucky didn't go much for basketball in high school cOninng his sporting activities to baseball and football While senior at Tech he played with the first Electric Boat baseball team, having worked here during the summer vacation. In his junior year he member of the Fort Trumbul Stars in the New London City League. Most of the young ball players to have gotten their start with the Stars.
 al Yauilla has spent nine years employee of the Boat Co., two of the years Outside Machnst and the remaining in Dept 303 of the Main Yard He quiet efficient worker and not at all the sWaggering ath ee type He nevertheless oozes confluence when on tne ball field Bucky forte is hitting behind the and adepness in the hit and play finds him in the second spot of the batting order.
 Danny Czekala regular Diesel centerfelder, is "country-outfelder," which he really go and get 'em Danny isn't the fastest the squad but his knack of judging balls right off the bat enables him to territory than most "speed merchants. Dan is distance hitter, packing lot of power in his ''rOIy poly frame. He hits many batting practice pitches the right field fence, Manager Frank Mur phy hates to him to the plate, with the city of basebas ct al. Incidentally, he is always the first to hit in the pre-game warm
 Danny also comedian of sorts, doing entertain ing mpersonatons Was at his best the Kansas trip When most of the boys sitting around the hotel drug store and feeling little homesick "Zeke would ''roIl in and change the atmosphere immediately His real hobby clothes and is quite the dresser Dan pitcher at Bukeey stopped Norwich Free Acadey long winning streak. Works Chipper in the w" Yard
 And yet another versatile member of the squad is Bill Cluzeski. Bill fills in capaby Outfeder when not on the He is different" ball players not only in disposition but also in his batting stance and pitching delivery retiring chap given to moOds yet a very good cOnversatiOnaist and having many friends. At bat he stands with his foot out of the batting box and swings his foot and body in toward the plate to meet the pitch. It must be all right cause 1t brings those base hits. His delivery is deceptive and when lets go of the ball it's journey toward the plate it seems to be coming out of closed fist. Pos sesses excellent control.
 Bills only sport at Stonngton High was baseball Has been employed Electrician at the B. B. for the past eight years Incidentally though the Deses went down to defeat their first game Bills big bat did it's bit by blast ing the centered fence with man on base
 AFTERTHOUGHTS
 So the first A. c. dance flop. Couldn't expect an overflow of customers when of the club officials them selves didn't attend. Blame it the weather. Base ball Manager Murphy busy radio personality the week preceding the opening game. My guest on the SUB pro gram Wednesday night and interviewed by Joe Raf ferty Saturday. Heard from that great sportstoOW er Frank Finnery of the Pcatinny Arsenal Dover N J . That ordinary yba that Jim McKenna is supposed to have misudged during the OxfordDophin game, banged against the fence on the second hop-s that ordinary? Nobody thought to give Jim credit for his triple to deep rght-center "Mac" is really smacking that pill, getting three for four against Merden homer. A horse kicked Lii Hansen hence the injured leg. Fight fandom thinks Doc Sat stopping those fights without sufficient cause.
