Bristol Hoopers Valley Champs

Bristol teams made a clean sweep by capturing both the Senior and Intermediate Naugatuck Valley titles at the Boys Club last night. The Bristol Tramps downed the Chasers 43 to 28 while the Bristol Local 802 A. c. was hanging up an impressive 45 to 26 victory over the Naugatuck Daley News in the preliminary at. traction.
 Chasers made ball game of 1t for the first half with Damelio, Koch and Sweeney matching baskets with the Bristol sharp-shooters. In the third period however the Bell City Tramps put the game on ice with rapid and fancy shooting by Dobrut- sky, Lynch and Lasko and then in the final period they played with the ChaSers like cat with a mouse Dobrutsky put on an exhibition of ball handling and hiding and after taking the ball from the Waterbury boys would roll 1t around on the floor, in back of his neck, shoulders arms and back and then after teas ing his opponents sometimes put in on the floor and let them see how the ball felt to touch. Dobrutsky was high man for the Tramps with 13 points all of which were sunk amidst the cheers and amazement of the fans. Lynch with Lasko had l2 and 10 points and also gained the re- Spect of the crowd. The ChaserS put up a gallant fight with Damelio, Koch and Sweeney leading the scoring but the TrampS won tho respect of the fans and their vic- tory was a popular one which left no doubt in the minds of players and spectators.
 Surprising
 The Naugatuck News which look ed SO good in other tourney games proved to be no match for the Bris- tol 802 outfit who held back the Naugatuck and Torrington high like the Healey twins, Good, Stinson and Monanari. The News was unable to get through the Bris- tol Zone and as result were unable to score enough to stay in the ball game. Bristol after stealing the ball from Naugy would break fast and go for score most of the time. Chapman, Vineino and Dunning scored 3l points for the c. I, O. team while for the News Stinson was high with ' counters.

Congress Oils Up
Its Machinery

WASHINGTON. Aug. 14-(PD
Congress, faced with helping
shift the nations gears from war
to peace, is plagued itself with
engine trouble.
That is the opinion OF the joint
committee for the reorganization
of Congress, which plans to lay
blueprints for new streamlin-
ing machinery before both
houses 5 h ort y after the law
makers reassemble from their
now-curtailed vacation.
More than a year earlier than
it expected, the committee head
ed by Senator La Toilette (Prog-
Wis.,, has finished its hearings.
In the light of agreement the
witnesses, the committee prob
ably will fashion its recommen-
dations along these lines:
:. Drastic overhauling of the
present committee structure TO
avoid overlapping jurisdictions.
The number of committees to
be recommended probably will
be less than a score in each
chamber. The House now has
48 the Senate 33.
2. Higher salaries for mem
bers. Increases ranging from ST.
500 to $4,000 were suggested.
The present salary is $4,000 al
though House members recently
voted themselves a $2,50O-a-
year expense allowance.
3. More adequate stating for
members and com m tees
through techically-trained per-
sonnet.
4. Closer son between
Congress and the executive
branch. 1t was proposed that
each department head appoint
an assistant to work with Con-
gress.
Also widely favored was a
proposal by Representative Ke-
fauver (D-Tenn) for a question
\ iod" during which officials
from the executive branch could
be queried periodically on the
floor of each House.
5. More frequent and regular
recesses to permit members to
maintain a closer touch with
home. Senator Willis (R-Ind),
for instance, would designate
April, July and August as recess
months.
6. Control over lobbyists
such as requiring them to regis
ter sponsors and sources of in
come.
7. Some substitute for the SEN
iority rule. One suggestion heard
was for a six-year time limit
f.: committee chairmen.

much OF that OF the District.
Though the first record dates
April II, 1874, as the official start
of the parish, the origins may be
traced back to 1889. In that year
an Irish priest, Father Anthony
Catfrey, came to Washington to
minister to fellow countrymen of
his faith. A short time after he
came the group opened small
church on the corner of Tenth and
E streets NV.
In 1876, two years after the pur-
chase of property forming part of
the present-day site was recorded,
the congregation moved into the
first small frame structure erected
on the north side of F between
Ninth and Tenth streets NV. A
small parochial residence was joined
to the church.
Father Caffrey returned to Ire
land in 1904. He was succeeded by
Father William Matthews, whose SO
years as pastor were eventful ones
in the history of the parish. 1t was
under Father Matthews, known af-
fectionately in later life as ''The
Patriarch of Washington" that the
second church was built. This
structure was of brick on the same
site as the first church and was in
use until 1870 when it was torn
down to make way for the present
building.

1910 and was instrumental in be-
ginning what is now Gonzaga Col
lege and was then known as Wash
ington Seminary. With funds in
herited from his father, he pur-
chased the block bounded by Ninth
and Tenth and G and F streets. He
was also a prime mover in estab-
fishing st. Vincent's Orphan Asy-
lum, which occupied the Woodward
& Lothrop store site in 1923.
The six-year pastorate of Father
Timothy O'Toole Was marked by the
start of parochial school on F
street. He was followed by Father
Jacob Walters, who guided the des-
TIMES of the church to 1894. His
pastorate was marked by the build
ing of Carroll Hall in 1865 on G.
street between Ninth and Tenth
streets and by the construction of
the present church. The old church
was demolished in 1872, but it WASH t
until 1884 that the new building
was ready for worship. In the 12-
year interim period the congrega-
ton worshiped at Carroll Hall.
Father Walters is also remem-
bered for his belief in the innocence
of Mrs. Mary Surratt, who was con-
victed and condemned to die for
completely in the assassination of
President Lincoln. He ministered
to Mrs. Surratt on the day of her
hanging.
Father John Gloyd served from
1894 to 1901 and was succeeded by
DR.. Denis j. Stafford, Shakespear-
can scholar and orator. The pres
ent rectory and school were built
during his service of seven years.
The church destinies were in the
hands of Father william T. Russell
from 1908 to 1917, when he became
Bishop of Charleston. Msgr. Cor.

to 1941.
The Right Rev. Msgr. Lawrence
j. Shehan, present pastor, was born
in Baltimore and is graduate of
st. Charles College, Catonsville,
Md. He studied at st. Mary's Sem
mary, Baltimore, and completed his
course at the North American Col
lege in Rome, where he received the
degree of Doctor of Theology in 1928.
He was assigned as Junior curate to
St. Patrick's on his return to the
United States in 1923 and became
