This Sporting 
Bridsees Fix Autos But Ride Horses
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Waterbury riders have done right well Curing a successful season Of exhibitions sponsored by the Con- necticut Stock Horse Association, with a good chance that the next president of the group will be that well-known and able motor man, George o .Bridgee, Sr.; whose busi- ness is automobiles, but whose plea sure is horses. After tinkering with fuel pumps, gas-lineS, radiators, condensers, brakes, wheels, acceler- ators, distributors and such for six days of each week, master mechanic Bridgee likes nothing better than to get on the back of good horse on Sunday afternoons and II he comes to work limping from a fall off the steed, and unable to sit down for more than a minute, it's OK un- til the next Sunday when he can Tom Mix it again to his hearts content. His young lad, tall, wtry anc with the same love for horses that is inborn with his dad, George Jr.; has become outstanding as a rider in the junior horsemanship class events; cfter breaking" and 1 training his equine star, BUFFALO, who has developed so fast that the five year old stallion is now what the horsey set calls HIGH SCHOOL horse-who can tell oats from rice by the COLOR, without a single sniff. Louie Voeglia of this city has won consistently with George Towards horse, ROPER champion stock horse of Connectl- cut; while Mrs. Dot Migone has been one of the best of the girl riders; Donald <Iabrinelli, 12 years old' showing up well in the pony class;
 while in the junior horsemanship events, George Bridgee, Jr.; has been in a class by himself. Harry McLay of East Haven is expected to be elected vice-president in the next election of officers for the 1945 CSHA.

BASEBALL BOSS
 OF DODGERS HAS
 PLANS FOR 1S46
By GLEN PERKINS Limited Press Stan Correspondent

Limited Press Stan COrrespondent) . New York, Jan. 3 - U.P0 - President Branch Hickey of the Brooklyn Dodgers brought his post war professional football plans more or less out into the open today and with a minimum of his usual verbal fencing indicated that he would have a team ready for one of the new leagues by l946.
 The boss of the Dodgers thus be- came the first baseball executive to indicate definitely that he would resolve the "feud" with pro football magnateS with conference.-the by starting team himself.
 Hickey said that he would pro- vide Captain Dan Topping, owner of the Brooklyn Tigers of the National League, with one year contract to operate at EbbetS Field through next season, but emphasized that he would mot commit the use of the ] field beyond that"
 He said he doubted whether any of the new professional circuits would be able to put through their contemplated plans for operation next year because of the acute short age of athletic manpower which makes even the operation of the es- tablished national circuit problem atical.
 The Dodger boss would not reveal which of the new three pro loops he was considering, although it has been reported that he has been ap- preached by promoters of each of them. He said he would stand by and await developments"
 Asked whether he felt that his action in refusing the Tiger grid outfit more than one years rental of the field constitute 8 freeze out" he replied:
 Well that is a permissible man. euver isn't tt?"
 Another "Green Light?"
 Discussing the baseball situation he said that he was confident the major leagues would have enough players for full scale operations in 1945, but that he hoped before the season began the sport would re- ceive another green light" from President Roosevelt.
 However, he said that three more of his own players, Pitcher Frank (Rube) Melton, Shortstop Eddie Miksis, and First Baseman Jacb Boiling, had been inducted recently and that there were prospects thai others might go soon. He also re. vealed that there was little chance of persuading Inflelder Arkl Vaughn to leave his Potter Valley Cal, ranch next summer to play with the club, Vaughn remained ou of baseball in 1944 to operate hi holdings and has indicated he vii do the same this year, Hickey said
 Rickey left after the press con- ference for Chicago where he vii meet with the Major League com. . mittee formulating 8 new agree ment under which the successor tt baseball's high commissioner. thu late Judge Kenesaw M. Landis, vii be chosen. lie said he was in favol ; of the immediate appointment of new commissioner so that public confidence in the sport will not b' : undermined.

Many patrons use their automobiles to get to the track as there is no great difficulty in obtaining gasoline. A track off, cial estimated that about 300 cars on racing days discharge passengers at the clubhouse entrance. Most socialites own clubhouse boxes and there are bars and tables for drink ing, both in the grandstand and clubhouse.
 Many Cubans who own horses are prominent industrial and business men like Ramon Crusselli, president of the CrussellaRs Compania, Cuba's biggest toilet article house.
 Purses during the week average from $250 to $500, about 20 per cent less than the pre-war purses. Some purses range up to $500 on handicap races. If the boom which the track operators expect mate rializes. the value of the purses will increase.
 Although only 3eO horses are housed here, the park has stables for 700. The track employees. jockeys. trainers and others total about 1900.

With many industrials touching

The list closed on a relatively
strong note Friday and the over
all average for the month accom-
plished its best recovery since April.
Particularly favored throughout the
f1ve-oay stretch were steels, motors,
rubbers, merchandising, aircrafts,
assorted rails and specialties that
stand to benefit if the long-awaited
consumer spending boom eventuates.
Expectations of tax cuts revived
with the disclosure of the sharp
reduction In the Federal budget re-
sulting from a shortened war.
The Associated Press 60-stock
average was up IL points at 67.6

equalled the peak of September l.,

There was little selling in the

six successive rising sessions the
market suffered slight general set

sion over labor disputes and price

was considerable irregularity Thurs

in control
Commodities bulged and stumbled
