VVVVVVVVVV Spinning The Wheel

There are at least two pairs of brothers playing with different Waterbury teams as of last Sum- day. Joe and Johnny Alfone, thu New Haven "fire-eaters" who were with the Aviglianese 40 last year in the City Amateur league race, are now with Fred Davis Brass COS, playing night baseball at mu- nicipal stadium. Joe and Johnny Crisco of the Hamden Townies have been regular GAL perform CTS this season One of the mysteries of the year, to this writ CT, at least is how Dr. Joe May found time to coach the Mary Abbott school boys to their first baseball championship, in addi- tion to his professional duties and other activities as president of the Polish- American Club of Water bury. That he has done 8 grand job with the boys in the north end; some of whom were headed for serious trouble because of in- adequate SPORTS FACILITIES in their section of the city to occupy their minds when not in school; is readily admitted by everyone who knows anything at all about the situation. Mary Abbott Con- munity Club is lending great big hand by trying to get city author ities to lay out PLAYGROUND up Hill Street way :. Big John ny Rainnone and little Leo Buon- ocore, first and second basemen Of the MA champs. make quite . picture when walking together.

Encouraged by the splendid sup- port given him in last Sundays voting in the City Amateur Leagues teen-age player roll, followers of Joe Aufiero, Mary Abbott school pitcher are speeding up their campaign to put on a whirlwind finish Sunday when, the final day of voting at Hamilton Park arrives. Equally as determined that nothing shall hap pen to the 1000 lead which their favorite now sports, supporters of Jack Reardon, Brooklyn A. c. first sacker. are doing plenty of canvass ing this week and intend to have an extra force of workers on hand Sunday to put their man" across.

|FREEPORT CLUB HAS STREAK OF |TEN VICTORIES

Overton Tremper, who will play center field and bat in the cleanup spot for Freeport, L. l., tonight against the Brasscos, is one of the best performers in the independent ranks. A former Brooklyn Dodger, Tremper also starred at the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania. Since his re- tirement from organized baseball, he has been performing with the Bushwicks, Springfield Greys and other strong clubs.
 Two other players who will bear watching tonight are shortstop Hal Contini, formerly of the Jersey City and Bushwick clubs, and Abe Bar ows, first baseman, who started the present season with the Toronto In- ternational League Club.
 Won Ten
 Freeport brings 10-game win ming streak to Municipal Stadium, and the Brasscos will be bidding for their second straight in new string after having their 11-game streak stopped by the Chance vought Pliers a week ago.

Jer- sey City Anchor Club will play a return game here next Saturday night.

Oregon Girl
 Scores 73 In Chicago Meet
BY WALTER BYERS United Press Staff Correspon

Chicago, July 25 5-(UP)-C Carol (Babe) Freese, little, pug-nosed kid from Portland, Ore, was hailed as the coming woman golf cham pion of America today-the kind of player who some day may dom- mate the distaff side of the game as Byron Nelson now rules the male competition.
 Miss Freese is just feet, 2 inches tall and weighs little over 100 pounds, but she has a big heart and whopping power in her drives as she proved yesterday by shoot ing 3-under-par 73 to take med- alist honors in qualifying for the All-American Woman,s Open. There were 24 qualifiers. Although this is only her third major tourna- ment, It. Ben Hogan and Nelson hailed Miss Freese as "the greatest woman player to come along since Babe Didrikson," currently the queen of feminine golf.
 Despite Miss Presses great per- formance, she was just one stroke better than Peggy Kirk of Findlay, Ohio, who finished with a "A over the tough Tam O'Shanter course. Mrs. Albert Becker, Paterson, N. J., qualified with an 82 and Mrs. Ann L. Bruno, White Plains, N. r., with an 89.
 The final qualifying round in the $6O 900 All-American championship, George s. Mays annual three-in- one golfing extravaganza, ends to- day with about 50 professionals playing IS holes for 40 places in the mems open.
 GOLD RUSH
 Tomorrow the big gold rush starts. The women's open, the amateur and the mems open begin concurrently with IS holes daily through Sunday. At the end of 72 holes medal play the richest prizes in golf history will come out of Mays pocketbook.
 All of the nations top pros, such as Nelson-winner of the Open three times in its four-year exist ence - Slammin' Sammy Snead Jimmy Demaret, Gene sarazen, and Sammy Byrd are exempt from qualifying. \
 Among the better known pros who must play for a spot are Mike Turnesa of White Plains, N. Y. and Clarence Doser of Hartsdale N. Y., semi-finalist in the 1945 P. G. A. which was won by Nell son. Sgt. Joe Louis, worlds heavy weight boxing champion, was giv- en a special exemption and will compete as an amateur in the Open.

This Sporting World
WAC Spurns
 400 Bot Mark
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Until another one comes along, the following, out of Biloxi, Missis- sippi will do as the best softball story of the summer:
 There are not many hitters who would scorn an old batting mark of 400. But Keesler Fields record books were swelling recently when a smiling young Wac was in the midst of a batting spret in the AAF Training Command stations irtra- post softball race.
 Pfc. Lsona Wishman, Keesler Wac from Chico, Cal, in the first four games, knocked out Il hits in 12 trips to the plate, scoring 10 runs. Up to date, she has an average of 300. In commenting on her record that jumped up following a furlough, Whisman remarked that her visit home must have done wonders, for she was batting "only" 400 when she left

Words of Worninq

The American serviceman is ir- herently a souvenir collector. This tendency, however, is very apt to prove a disastrous boomerang In many cases if returning soldiers and sailors follow through on what is only a natural inclination and have their captured Japanese and Ger man military rifles converted into sporting firearms chambered for American made ammunition, ac- cording to a Remington Arms Co.,. Inc, spokesman.
 'sThis is particularly true," he said, fin reference to the Japanese Arisaka rifle. This is a good military rifle for the cartridge for which 1t was designed, but converting it for the use of American sporting loads is a book of different binding.
 '"This gun can be shaped up into a lovely looking little sporter weigh ing about T pounds and giving the appearance of being an ideal deer rifle. It may prove, however, to be a long distance booby-trap and con- tinue to kill Americans long afte the war with Japan is ended, for the sportsman who shoots sporting load in an Arisaka is knocking on the door of his accident insurance adjuster or flirting with 8 nice quiet spot in a cemetery.
 Japanese arms are not made un- der the careful manufacturing con- trols which govern American, Brit ish and German manufacture. Some of them might stand conversion to sporting loads, but they are few and far between among the vast num- bers of Arisakas of wartime manu- facture, which are made of poor metal with inferior workmanship and sloppy fitting"

ScoviII-Benrus Girls Feature Game Thursday

Action in the second round of play in the I. R@: A. Girls Softball League is running much the same as it did in the first round with the Benrus Lassies gaining early pos- session of the lead, but only by vir- tue of the fact that the defending champs from Waterbury Mfg. have played fewer games.
 AS was expected, last weeks game between Benrus and the U. s. Time combine was a close one. Benrus fi- nally eked out 2 to 0 victory which was one run better than in their first meeting. Millie Buglione pitch ed a no-hit game in shutting out her opponents which made her sec ond such game in a row and her third of the season. Quilter's charges are really moving along now and are pointing to their next meeting with Roger Connor's undefeated Manufacturing Club. It has all the signs of being the climax game of the season.
 The U. s. Rubber-Waterbury Mfg. game, scheduled for Recrea- tion Field in Naugatuck last week, was called off due to wet grounds, making the third week of enforced inactivity for the Rubber girls. League Supervisor, Ed McGrath. hopes to reschedule the game in the near future.
 Scovill vs. Benrus The feature game on tomorrow nights slate will be the tussle be- tween Ray Ouimet's Scovill E. R. A. 'ers and the Benrus Lassies sched- uled for Waterville Park. The team filded by the Mile Long Plant this year has been a disappointing one failing to come up to early season expectations. Unless they can take the measure of the Benrus Club in Thursday nights game they will be practically eliminated as serious contentor for the crown in the cur rent race.
 Brownie" Karaban, captain of the U. s. Rubber mems team, was recently apointed to take over the coaching duties with the girls team. It Is reported that Brownie" will add new strength to the Kedettc team and should have little difficult ty in preventing the Scovill Water will E. R. A. from registering their first victory.
 Bashful Bill Brennan's Chase Brass & Coper Girls clash with the U. s. Time BombardearS at Water vile Park in what should be an- other interesting contest on to- morrow nights schedule. The Chase crew scored an upset victory over Time in their first meeting. The lat ter are determined to ayenge the de- feat and at the same time stay in the running for the league title.
 The complete schedule for tomor- row nights games:
 Waterville Park No. 1: Chase Brass & Copper vs. U. S. Time, Jones.
