 THOMAS PITCH
 FOR BRASSC0S
CCACH LARRY MULLEN


 Watertown's Al Jarlett, whose last local appearance was winning one for the City League All-Stars against the Martin Bombers at Hamilton Park two years ago, will pitch for the Brasscos tomorrow in one of the two games against the New York Bremen at the Municipal Stadium. The first game of seven innings will start at 2, the second to be regulation nine-inning con- test.
 Junior" Thomas, who hurled three innings last week, will be available for the other pitching as- signment.
 The Bremen come here with their usual strong team headed by a pitching staff which includes Ken Auer and Jim Connaughton, both of whom have had professional expI- fence. The Smoke-eaters brought hard-hitting clubs to Waterbury in previous exhibitions and this one should compare with the others.
 Player-Coach Larry Mullen will see action in the second contest, Manager Davi planning to use the versatile Pete Piestrak, Bradley Field sergeant as relief pitcher in the nightcap. Teddy Grabeck, who pitched the opening victory last Sunday, will also be available. Catcher Andy Santillo, Grabeck s mattery-mate, will work in one game and Tony Selmo the other.

The champs will be without the services of Teddy Grabeck and Catcher Santillo, but are reported to have a couple of surprise replace ments.
 Jack Miller, the South Pacific vet, who turned in great mound exhibition in turning back the Eagles on opening day, will be Coach Robertson's choice for duty with Bill Holling, Bridgeport's fa- nous speedballer on the firing line for the Avigs.

CHRISTMAS PARTY

On December 23rd, Local No. IL will again
entertain the children and, of course some of
their parents at the Civic Auditorium at iN
Annual Childrens Christmas Party.
The party will be held in the afternoon and
will adjourn in sufficient time so that children
who are not escorted will be able to get home
before dark. A well-rounded program of en-
tertainment concluded with the distribution of
gifts will comprise the afternoon program.
Brothers Bill Healey from Buckeye Paint, Ed
Couturier from Bingham Stamping and Charles
Rodgers from Gordon Bumper are in charge of
the committee to obtain the best in entetain-
ment that we can furnish for the children.
Brother Howard Rediger, together with
Eddie Devlin and others of his committee, is
in charge of having the auditorium decorated
properly. All Flying Squadron Members of
Local No. IL are requested to be available at
the auditorium to help with maintaining order
and aid in the distribution of the gifts. Broth
ers James Crowley and Charles Ballard, to-
gether with other members of the committee,
are in charge of the gift selection. Brothers
Arnold Shenofsky and Chris Topel will have
their cameras available to take pictures of the
interesting events of the afternoon.
POSTWAR CELEBRATION
This is the first Childrens Christmas Party
to be celebrated in five years without the cloud
of war hanging over our heads. / would like
to urge all parents and members of Local NO.
IL to either bring their children to the audi
torium or to send them there for the program
which we have prepared.
In past years, we have always had ca
pacty crowd and are expecting this year to
again fill the auditorium Accordingly all of
our plans are being made on this basis. 1t is
not anticipated that gifts will be given away
after the party at Civic Auditorium and this
would only be done in the event few things
might be left over in which case they would
be brought back to Local No IL headquarters
and any children coming to the Local would
be eligible to obtain their gifts until such time
as they were completely distributed.
Again, let me urge that all Flying Squad
ron members of the various Units of the Local
be present on Sunday afternoon, December
23rd at the Civic Auditorium to help with our
