According to responsible opinion, the Municipal Stadium matter in which the Waterbury Board of Park Commissioners BRUSHED OPP the City Amateur Baseball League and the Industrial Recreation Associa- tion, like so much DANDRUFF, is not quite concluded; despite the fact that Secretary Tom Moore and Supt. of Parks Jim Curtin have been "or- dered" to do business for the Sta- dium on Sunday afternoons with Fred Davi of Naugatuck, and King Ston, NY. Both GAL and IRA intend to ask for hearing at the next Park Board meeting, by sending delegations and spokesmen to the meeting; and, though they MAY NOT GET TO FIRST BASE, at least they intend to GO TO BAT. Their miscue on this weeks meeting was in ASKING rather than IN- SISTING that they be heard by per- sonal representation.

 Asked how he happened to put a run" of 12 cushion bill iard shots together for what is believed to be new local record, George F. M Gearing, accentuated the positive in the Post Office oratorical Derby with the follow ing statement: well, boys, it's like this. I pick up the paper and read where Willie Hoppe runs 20 against Welker Cochrane, SO I get sore, sse? After all, I've been around al- most as long as Willie, SO takes my trusty cue in hand and knock ed in a dozen billiards so quick that it made Ed Farley SPEECH LESS, and brother when Ed can't talk, THAT'S NEWS, as they said
 when the man bit the blood hound

 When Joe Talbot, United States Congressman from the Fifth district in Connecticut accepted a beautiful set of matched golf irons, at a Litchfield county testimonial in his honor last Tuesday night; he pub licly expressed doubt that the new clubs would help his golf game un- less continually advised before each shot by Judge Tom Neary and Post master Frank Green of Naugatrok. Frank, by the way is Torrington boy, and one of the better amateur golfers throughout the Naugatuck valley. CongreS sman Talbot'S story of sending and receiving cable grams to and from General Mark Clark, commander of the Fifth American Army in Germany to get a Connecticut boy home before death of the soldiers mother; was one of the most Interestingly human announcements since Pearl Harbor General Clark sent the boy home through Talbot's request; by the fastest possible plane connections that could be made. The boys mother hasn't a chance to live cancer!
