Two of the oldest names for eligible equine entries for the Ken lucky Derby may be among the field of dozen or so to run for $75,000 on June 9th at Churchill Downs. The hay-chewers are named BYMEABOND (buy me bond) and 1CANGETIT q can get iO the first of which may be "in there" for a while on the basis of recent works but the word from HARDBOOT country (Kentucky) is that Old Man Bradley has the horse to beat" in BURNING DREAM. Of course, Hoop, Jr., and Jeep will have to be figured on strongly on the basis of their wins in last Saturdays Wood Memorial at Jamaica in which the TIME of the race gave both real chance in the Derby, which is one mile and a quarter, for 3 year oldS, each colt to carry 126 pounds.

 First protest of the City Anna
 teur League season has been filed
 by Branford, claiming misinter-
 pretation of rules by Umpire Leno Costaldo in allowing
 Tribune A. c. player to twice
 step across the plate in an at-
 tempt to bunt. Tribes won 5-1
 last Sunday in Branford. The latter club is not attracting
 too many fans in it's own town,
 but expects to pick up some back
 ing, if it can win a couple of
 games. Close observers of
 league play feel that the Avig-
 ianese are going to put up
 rousing defense of their title; and
 if any team takes it, the Tribes,
 with Harry Melvin as coach may
 do it; provided, of course pitcher
 Johnny Pezzulo is on hand every
 time Packy Shea's boys take the field. Kenny James, the local
 colored clouter who was having fine win streak for himself until
 the other night, including a vic-
 tory over one James Kenny (his name in reverse) is little doubt full now about the virtue of CHARITY, because that was the surname of the Youngstown, Ono,
 boxer who recently knocked him out in the sixth at Holyoke. "Ah
 thought Charity is supposed to begin at home said Kenny to Manager Tony PaoI, adding then why didn't he wait until ah boxed him in Youngstown?"

 A long cheer for the USRubber'S editor of "Nauganotes," it's monthly newspaper, for it's printed recogni- tion of tough job very well done by Harry Ingram, who left the borough today for better job with the USR Gilmer plant in Philadel- phia. Here what the paper printed about the popular redhead, man. ager of his company's basketball entry in the I. R. A. league for the past two years: Publicity Director, Harry Ingram, is leaving us on June first to assume the position of h. dustrial Relations Manager of our company's L. H. Gilmer plant in Philadelphia. For the past three years Harry has organized a recre- ation program that has put our plant out in front in the sports world. His spirit and enthusiasm both in the plant and in the borough have identified him in every activity from family outings to Red Cross rallies, from basketball to bowling banquets. Employment Manager, Publicity Director, Master of Cere- monies-Harry has taken them all in his stride. We predict for the Gilmer Company a colossal family outing this summer like it's never seen before-and a softball team that will be giving the Phlllies a run for their money. The best wishes of the gang in Naugatuck go with the Red Head" in his new assignment. (Ed Note: Me too!
