 MT. and Mrs. Frs Morton, West Hillside avenue, have received word that their son It. Frank Morton, U. s. Artillery has arrived in France.
 Word has been received here that Sgt. "Bill' Scully, Hartford boy and former star pitcher at Trinity col lege is now pitching hand grenades at the Nazis in Germany. "Blll" who was the star pitcher for the local Legion ball club for two seasons saw much active service in Holland with an American Army unit att tached to the Canadiens. From the Holland area he has been trans ferred to the Siegfried line and has been through some tough spots since his assignment to that area. Bill was the best pitcher which the local ball club ever had he had a good | level head on his shoulders, keen mind and clean and wholesome | personality which made him very popular with the local fans. The | last year he was with the local team he was stationed in Boston and used | to travel by plane from Boston to Hartford on a Sunday in order to be here on time to pitch for the | Legion.
 He won many games here single handed by his maSterful pitching | and timely hitting. Two games which stand out in the memory of local fans was his To win in 12- innings over the strong Seymour town team which was played here and his feat of pitching l9 innings to win over the same club in Sey- mour the following Sunday. Scully woud have moved up to faster con- pany If the war hadn't broke after his graduation from Trinity. "Bill' will always be remembered here by local fans because he was always in there giving his best no matter how the score stood and all are hop ing for his safe return and perhaps if his good left arm hasn't been thrown out in tossing hand grenades at the Nazis he may once again team up with the O'Briens. Sciarrl Fournier, Bensen and the great It. tie Stogie De Pecol, who are al bud dies of Bills" in the service of their country.
