Sitter Demands Than
Those Given Romonia Loom

None of these conditions was ap-
piled TO Romania.
The main provisions of the
Romanian armistice:
100000, 900 worth of repara-
tons in oil, timber, machinery,
and the like to be turned over
to Russia over a six-year period.
Agreement that Russia will
keep Bessarabia and Northern
Bucovina which she obtained by
a 1910 frontier settlement.
That Romania will return all
United Nations property she has
taken.
That she will rid herself COM
pletely of Fascism and Fascist
type organizations.
On the other side of the ledger
Romania regains Pennsylvania,
which Hitler assigned to Hun
gary in 1910. This is subject to
confirmation in the postwar
peace settlement. Also Roman
ia escapes military government
and military occupation, al
though she agrees to make avail
able to Russian troops such ia
cilities and supplies as may be
necessary for prosecution of the
war on Germany.
AS in the case of Italy, whose
armistice agreement had not yet
been made public, an Allied con-
troll commission (Russian, Brit
ish, American) is created for
Romania with the specific duty
of seeing that the armistice
terms are lived up to.
Lucretiu Patrascanu, chief
Romanian representative in
signing the armistice, was quot
ed at Moscow as saying that I'VE
don't have a right to be dissatis-
fled with the terms"
On behalf of Britain, Russia
and the United States the ar1l-
istice was signed by Soviet
Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovsky.
The signing was completed al
most three weeks after Roman
ian troops had joined the Rus
slams in fighting the Germans
and Hungarians so that its mill
tary provisions were already in
effect.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-(R
-Armistice terms for Bulgaria
are now being put into final
shape by the lo-American-
Soviet European Advisory Com
mission, it was reported today.
They are expected to be tougher
than the terms imposed on Ro-
mania, because Bulgaria was
slower to turn against Germany.
The 20-point Romanian docu-
ment, signed in Moscow and
made public by the three Allied
governments, is considered here
to be relatively lenient. The len
iency is attributed to the fact
that when Romania broke her
alliance with Germany Aug. "a
her troops Immediately lined up
with thee Russian forces fight
ing Germany.
This is regarded as being In
line with Allied promises to
Nazi satellites that their postwar
existence would be made easier
to the extent that they aided the
Allied cause. Specifically it is
expected 10 have some effect
on Austria, which has become
the target of Allied appeals to
revolt.
Although the Romanian terms
offer general clues to the fate
Of the Nazi satellites, it can be
stated on high authority that
they bear little resemblance to
Allied plans drawn up for the
Reich itself. Germany will be
under rigid military government
and will be fully occupied by
United Nations armies. She will
have to pay stiff reparations.

Grandpa George Wins Regularly In The Interstate League At 57; Lefty Fools Elm After 40 Years
By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Shorts Editor

Thomas Edward George is win ming regularly for York of the Class B Interstate League at the age of 57 and after pitching for 40 years
 If you don't consider that re- rnarkable just take 8 look at some blokes in the mid-thirties trying to hustle up a flight of stairs.
 Lefty George, out of Pitts brlrgh's Lawrenceville district, in 1904 blanked college teams in the south for Washington and Lee, where he took the straight pitch ing course.
 He broke into organized base ball in 'O6, crashed the majors for the first time with the Boston Nationals in '09. He did couple of hitches with the Braves, Cleve- land Maps and Columbus. put in time with the St. Louis Browns, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Toledo, Kansas City, New Orleans and Minneapolis.
 Georges greatest thrill was beating the immortal Christy Mathewson and the Giants, 40, while with the Reds in '15.
 Georges fast ball disappeared lsng ago, of course, but he throws . tantalizing variety of soft stuff wide, sweeping curves come from several different deliveries. Old ball players contend he still has the best screwball in the business. His knuckler seems to flap wings as it comes floating up to the dish.
 OLD INSTITUTION IN YORK
 The fact that George, the father of five children and grandfather. is still pitching-and winning may seem phenomenal to out siders, but to York fans it's just the natural thing to have Lefty out there year after year.
 George was with York of the Tri-State league in 10, re- turned there to play with an in- dustrial team in '22, joined the York club of the New York Pennsylvania league in '2S, and has been in the neighborhood since. He won 19 games for York in '2S, 25 in "A, 27 in '25, 20 in '29. He led the league in '24-25. established the loops strikeout record with 161 in "A. had a streak of 46 scoreless. innings in '25.
 There are million stories about George. Williamsport news papers used to say that the base- ball season was officially open when Lefty reached around with his left hand to scratch his right ear. That was enough to get him in shape.
 George has been 8 practical joker since he was old enough to think them up. He is an expert marksman with B-B shot and quill toothpick, anuses himself f' shooting the little pellets from sstweerl his teeth at any ap- propriate target.
 Fans like to see Lefty walk a man once in a while just to see
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-02-10

once more his famous move to first base. His windup with a man on first is so bewildering that frequently the runner dives fran- tically back to the bag only to find that Lefty has thrown a strike across the plate.
 George stood six { feet but weighed no more than 145 pounds when he first exhibited his rub Der arm for the Pittsburgh Col- legians, an independent club, in '04 and 505. He wore several pairs of stockings to make his skinny legs appear thicker. He now weighs 165.
 STOCKINGS PADDED LEGS
 George was in no sense a 'screwbox, but enjoyed his laugh.
 One afternoon in Il, while Lefty was with the Browns and being hit hard in St. Louis, Rhody Wal lace, the manager, went out to the mound, asked for the ball pending the arrival of another pitcher from the bullpen. Lefty got the ball back and began to tap Rhody on the head with it.
 George can hit and run. Tn a recent game he went to bat with the bases loaded and two out and York three rups behind. Hitting from the left side of the plate he drove the liner back of third base and scored from second on .

 New York, February 10-(UP)- A whirl on the sports-go-round:
 Now that relaxed dimout re- strictions will permit outdoor night sports in the New York area, Pro- moter Mike Jacobs is planning an early summer boxing show at Yan- kee Stadium "that will knock your eye out. Jacob says, "YouTl be surprised when I announce the principals.
 Baseballs postwar planning committees, which concluded a two- day session in New York Sunday, are expected to be called by Com missioner Landis for another big meeting in May to consider the games current problems. Consider ation of the farm problem again will be omitted.
 The North American Yacht Rac- ing Union, ruling body of sailing in the United States and Canada, has grown so that its membership now includes 14 yacht-racing asso- citations, with a representation of 29O yacht clubs and 79 individual clubs. The unions seamanship training corps still has more than 10000 school youths enrolled.
 Competition for the $25 ,O00 lWidener Handicap at Miamis Hia- leah, March 4, perked up with an- nouncement that first fiddle and shot put will be shipped from New Orleans. It's still uncertain, how ever, if Prince -Quillo and Asab will start. Bolingbroke is consid- cred sure starter.
 Because of recent criticism against decisions, the New York Boxing Commission instituted a new system of announcing at last nights Larkin Costantino fight which puts the ring officials on the spot. Instead of merely announc- ing the winner, as in the past, the individual round totals of the ref cree and two judges are announced before the winner. This gives the fans 8 chance to boo the scoring of an erring official, on the spot.
 At the opening of the baseball season. the Southern Association will give its fans a change of pace in a hurry. All opening series will be two-game affairs, instead of the customary five-game clusters of the past. Each team opening the sea- son away from home will play two games and then move to its home park for a five-game series to com |pensate for being away on opening day.
 Bill Dickey, veteran catcher of the New York Yankees, heads for his Little Rock home today, after signing for his 17th season with the Tanks. Although it was announced that his salary is the same as in 1943, we learn that he was given boost of 5000, bringing his pay to $25, 1000.
 Fresco Thompson, who managed the Montreal ball club last season and will pilot the New Orleans club this year, is working as a ship filter in the Blair shipyards in Yonkers, N. Y, six days 8 week, and 12 hours day. Mike Belloise, former featherweight champ, has been signed for three bouts in Pan- anna. He leaves New York for Pan- anna, February 20.

 MEN ROUT CHASE |BY 12 POINTS

Rapidly creating the impression that 1t has the team to reckon with in the second round Industrial Rec- reation Association League of bas- ketbal play, U. $. Rubber of Naug- atuck proved six hoops better than the Ilndefeated first round champs from Chase Brass and Copper Com pany last night at the YMCA. The final score 70 to 28 is hardly indica- tive of the mastery that the Rub- bermen showed with Chase provid- ing keen competition only in the first period, and also indicating the importance of Dave Karpovich's play, which is not now available as Dave is a Navy man, and while a Chase player, his team did not lose a game.
 We'll Done
 Waterbury Button, coached by George McNamara, was a decisive winner over Benrus in the first of two games played last night, Shiel and Buckingham scoring 16 points for the winners; Coelho and Be- rardi going well with Connolly and Bowler playing good floor game for the losers, coached by Fred Weidorn.
 Loss of Henry Koch, able Chase center in the third period hurt the chances of Alden Whites team which sa now lost two in a row, as U. s. Rubber shares the top spot of second round play with Amer ican Brass and Ingersoll. Rhodes Farrar and Wojack were outstand- ing for the borough outfit, coached by Frank Balinsky and Bernie Gar rick; while Jackie Travers' all- around play for Chase was all by itself. Score:

JERSEY RIVALS SET MARCH 1Ot LULU LOSES

OHACeU EreSS Sta1k OOEHe1poMUGU4
 New York, Feb. lO-(UP) Tippy Larkin, veteran New Jersey light weight, gave the most impressive performance oi his career at Madi- son Square Garden last night as he meted out thorough 10-round drubbing to Young Lulu Costantino. who a month ago and held chann- pion Beau Jack to split decision.
 Larkin, who paid $1,00O for 2 3-4 pounds of flesh to insure peak strength for the bout, gave the eIu- sive young New York such a box ing lesson that none of the threg ring officials, in arriving at theiI unanimous decision, voted nor, than two rounds to Costantino.
 The United Press gave Lulu onl one round, the fourth.
 Tall, rangy Larkin. Enjoying ad- vantages of height. weight. reach, punch and experience--was SO g1- perio- to his 23-year-old opponent that the bout, though fast, was un- interesting to the 11,535 fans who had contributed a gate of $31 ,9l4. Larkin lost a S1 900 forfeit when he scaled l39 3-4 pounds at yester- days weigh-in, instead of the 137 which he had guaranteed in a pri- vate agreement. Apparently Tippy and his shrewd manager, Angelo Pucci. had decided to "blow the grand" when they signed for the bout, in order to entice Costantino into the ring with the 13T-pound agreement. They knew that pairing down to 137 migfht weaken the sharpshooter from Garfield, N. J.
 The thousand was well spent. After this poundage price was de- ducted from his purse, Tippy stile wound up iwth about $6,800 for his public workout. He also clinched a good money" Garden bout with Allie Stolz, another New Jersey lightweight, on March 10.
 Costantino, four pounds lighter at 135 3-4, resembled a bewildered 1 jumping jack in most sessions, as 26- year-old Larkin speared him with left jabs and rocked him with sharp rights at long range. Only at close quarters did Lulu have a chance, as he proved in the fourth round.
 Although Tippy staggered Lulu several times, there were no knock downs and no bloodshed. Costantino kept his record intact-of never hav- ing been kayoed in 99 professional | bouts.
