St. Pierre -Freda Semi Final Go Moy Be Wor'

Two outstanding New England lightWeights support the Johnny Greco-Benny Singleton main event next Monday night, June Is, at the Waterbury Municipal Stadium when Oscar St. Pierre, Fall River meets Al Freda, Worcester, in the eight-round semi-fnal.
 Both Freda and St. Pierre enjoy stellar reputations around the New England circuit and both have ap- peared frequently at the Boston Garden where each have a large following of fight fans.
 St. Pierre is rated one of the hardest punchers in the light weight class as his record bears out which shows string of knock outs amounting to 26 kayoes in 32 starts.
 Among the victims of the Spindle City slugger are listed Jerry zullo, Chelsea, who bit the resin in three heats while in a return match St. Pierre won over the Chelsea fighter in 10 rounds to decision. Rocco Progano, Stamford, lasted but one round with St. Pierre, while Tommy Moore, Montreal, Can, withstood the battering of Oscar for three rounds.
 Lost to Nell
 In his last start at the Garden, St. Pierre lost a split verdict to Gus "Pell' Nell, Montreal, who is looked upon as the most promising fighter in the lightweight division and the one most likely to grab the worlds title.
 Al Freda, Worcester boxer also holds an enviable record and among his victims are Ralph Walton who boxed Willie Pep 10 hard rounds last summer in the Nutmeg State; Norman See, another Canadian Steve Bellus, Rochester, N. Y. ano in his last fight lost a close 1( rounder to Benny Singleton, who is one of the featured fighters in the star bout; this bout took place or the evening of the Bristol Arena fire at New Bedford, Mass.

ANSONIA WINS 'THR|LLER';
 SHARES TITLE

In all probability, the Naugatuck Valley league high school baseball championship will remain in the status of what is known in some. sections of the sporting world as a Mexican standoff". Reason there for is that Ansonia High defeated Torrington high 4-3 yesterday after taking Naugatuck two straight, so that the kids on the teams from the Copper City and Donahueville have now won Il games, lost 3.
 However, final examinations prior to graduation may prevent any fur ther baseball play between the two teams to settle the title, which means they will have to share the honor.
 Ansonia certainly won its share of the championship the hard" way. A 1-1 tie game with Torring- ton was protested by Coach Dona- hue of Torrington when an Ansonia runner went of the baseline to avoid being tagged" but was ruled "safe" by both umpires. A protest committee ruled play the game over, if necessary" Two games with Naugatuck remained for Ansonia and they had to Uin both, to qualify for the "if necessary" part of the protest committees action. They did just that, going 12 innings be- fore victory came in the second game at Naugatuck last Saturday.
 Birthday Present
 Then came yesterdays playoff Tcrrington led 80 going into the last inning, but Ansonia scored 4 runs to win the game for the incest birthday present that Coach Boots" Jarvis has received in many a year. It was Frank Mer- iwell' finish, if ever there was one. Torrington looked like a sure thing" as the ninth inning got un- der way: even when it could not add to it's 30 lead. Ansonia got two runners on base, when Lefty Casagrande, who had pitched three-hit ball, whacked tremen- dous triple, scoring two runs to tie the game, as Ansonia got run on a long fly by Wheeler after Barnico, Bryce and Parker had walked.
 At that point, with Torrington leading 3-1; Coach Donahue re- moved little Franke Samele who had pitched a three-hit game, in favor of Ferguson who had ball, 1 strike count on Casagrande; when the latter hit the cripple" for a triple which tied up the ball game; and that allowed Harry Banno, An sonia outfielder in the hero's role which he well-filled with a single that scored Casagrande and won the game and half of the NVL championship. Score:

Close Race In Girls SoftboII

As the halfway mark in the first round is reached, action is picking up in the l. R. A. Girls Softball League. The favorites came through with wins in last weeks games. Benrus retains the lead by slim half game margin over Waterbury Mfg, defending champions. The s. E. R. A. combine, champs two years back, finally posted their first win of the season at the expense Of the U. s. Rubber Kedettes.
 Top billing on tomorrow nights program goes to the long awaited clash between Benrus and Water bury Mfg. The outcome of the game between these two undefeated teams will go a long way towards deciding the winner of the first round. Play CT for player, both teams are very evenly matched. Star hurler for the Benrus Lassies is veteran Mlllle Buglione who has pitched one hit ball in each of her last two games. Marge Connors has been equally ef- fective on the mound for the Mfg. girlies and in addition has also been hitting the ball at a lively clip. There just aren't any better players at the third base spot, than Sis Mastrianna for Mfg and Mary Andrews for BenrlE. Jo Koslowsky of Benrus is one of the heaviest hitters in the league and her specially is long dis tance circuit clouts, while Mfg. has Rose Vendrella who hit 3 for 3 in 1st weeks game For all around con- sistently good play the Watchmak- CTS have Captain Teresa Flceto while Betty Pavilaitis falls into the same classified ton on the Mfg team. And so it goes right on down through the roster of both teams Plenty of action lies in store when the two meet tomorrow night at 6:l5 D. m. on the Fulton Park diamond. Both coaches, Pat Quilter of Benrus and Roger Connors of Mfg, are pre- dieting victory.
 The U. S. Time Bompardeers get back into action after weeks lay off. They journey to Naugatuck where they will meet the U. $. Rub- Der combine in another game on to- morrow nights slate. Both teams will be endeavoring to get back into the win column since each shows a loss in their last game.
 The complete schedule for tomor- row night is as follows:
 Benrus vs. Waterbury Mfg. Fultor No. l, Kenny.
 U. s. Rubber vs. U. s. Time, Rec reation Field, Naug., Stance.
 Chase Brass & Copper vs. Scovill Waterville No. Jones.

ARCARO NOT UP
 ON HOOP, JR.. FOR PREAKNESS
By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Staff Correspondent)

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Baltimore, June 13 = (U.Po - The winning combination of Hoop Jr., and Jockey Eddie Arcaro which scored such a thunderous triumph in the Kentucky Derby has been broken up for the Saturday run ming of the Preakness, because Ar caro has previous engagement to ride another horse.
 Eddie won't even be on hand for the 55th running of the Maryland classic at historic old Pimlico, be- cause he is under contract to ride Greentree Devil Diver in the sub urban handicap at Belmont Park the same day.
 Just how much Arcaro meant to Hoop Jr. in the bay colts six-length triumph over a 15-horse field at Churchill Downs may be proved in the Preakness. His absence is cer- tain to affect the odds. Owner Fred w. Hooper, Florida contractor, indi- cated he might try to get Nick Je- mas to ride Hoop Jr. unless William Helis decides to start one of his six dark-horse nominees. Jemas Is un- der contract to Helis.
 The Greentree owners gave Ar caro special permission to ride at Louisville because he had chance to tie the record of three Derby victories held by Isaac Murphy, Negro jockey, and Earl Sande.
 Field Of Eight?
 Elsewhere on the Preakness front, it became apparent that the field would be down considerably from the number that went in the Derby with probably no more than eight starters. From the Derby field in ad- dition to the Hoop" were Mrs. w. G. Lewis mudder. Darby Dieppe, which finished third at Louisville; Mrs. c. S. Towards Sea Swallow, seventh in the Derby, Colonel E. R. Bradley's Burning Dream, ninth, and Christiana Stables Alexis, which was 10th.
 Other almost certain starters were Walter M. Jefford's Pavot, the 1914 unbeaten two-year-ol cham pion likely to rank next to Hoop Jr., in the betting, Mrs. P. A. B. Widen CTS Polynesian, which beat Pavot in the Withers mile at Melmont last week, and Bradleys Bail Bond.
 Three eligibles, Jeep, the Colonel c. V. Whitney colt which finished fifth in the Derby, and Dockstader and Coincidence were doubtful starters. Jeep did not ship we'll and the others were suffering from coughing spells
 Boston, June 13-UP)-Racing Secretary Charles J. McLennan an- nounced today that nominations close Friday midnight for the six principal stake races to be run this year at Suffolk Downs for purses totaling $130,000.
 Toping the list will be the $50, ,00O- added Massachusetts handicap to be run the closing day of the 54-day meeting Aug. l. Second in interest will be the two s25 ,0O0 events, the Yankee handicap on July and the Mayflower stakes Aug. 8.
 The S10,0OO-purse trio of races to be run during the meeting are the Betsy Ross stakes July 21, the Myles Standish stakes July 28 and the Hannah Dustin handicap Aug
