Hughes, prominently identified with activities of the former Wilby Alumni Association for many years after his graduation from the commercial high school in 1920. died this morning at his home, A Branch street; after a brief ill., ness.

For many years, following graduation, Mir Hughes was employed at the American Ring Company, then went to American Metal Hose: Chase Companies: Wa- terbury Tool and about q year ago to U. 6. Time.

After the initial damage was done, Wells gave MP but four hits during the game; but they scored runs in the fifth and sixth innings. In the six-single att tack, Pronovost, Lockhart, Kraft, Weyman, Crandall and Niedman hit safely, one after the other. Doty hit triple for BH off Blewitt's T hit pitching.
 Near Perfect
 First Lutheran defeated Second Congos Az on two-hit pitching by Hettlinger, who had the enemy blanked until the final inning, and with a no-hit game in sight; two hits spoiled the picture. as two runs scored, one on Whittaker's three-bagger, he scoring on single.

Hanks Comeback Homer Was Thriller
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

When New York's Detroit Tiger Hank Greenberg came to Waterbury last Spring for a quick tour of the USTime plants in this city and Mid dlebury, little did anyone who spoke with him that day believe that the big guy who gave up g 5000 base- ball job tc enlist; was discharged and enlisted again, would be helping the Tigers toward the American League pennant this season. Yet that is the case, and heres his reac- tlon, which includes the story of his greatest home run, as told to an NEA interviewer who spoke with him not long after his first homer in his 1945 comeback" was a mat ter of record:
 "Belting home runs has always been hitter's delight, but no homer pleased me more than one I slam med off Pitcher Gassaway the day l returned to the Tigers lineup after being discharged from the Army.

 JOHNSON'S BAT
 AIDS RED S0x
By JOSEPH NOLAN

Limited Press Staff Correspondent)
 Boston, July 2b - (UP) = Slug ging Bob Johnson whose bat has meant almost as much to the Bos- ton Red Sox this season as Dave Ferriss' arm, was separated today by only four hits from baseball's ex- elusive 2,000-hit club.
 The numbering left1elder, cur- rently topping the American League in the all-important runs-batted-in column, has been sidelined with 8 slight stomach disorder since Satur- day but hopes to get back in the lineup tomorrow when the Sox open 8 three-game series with the up- and-coming Washington Senators at Fenway Park. He'd like nothing better than to get his four hits in one game, but he's willing to settle on two if necessary.
 The only other 2,000-class hitters now active in the major leagues are Manager Mel Ott of the Giants, Joe Medwick of the Braves, Jimmy Foxx of the Phillies, Lloyd Waner of the Pirates and Roger Cramer of the Tigers.
 Playing his 18th season under the big tent, Johnson has demonstrated conclusively that he can still wield mighty mace despite his 38 years. In addition to his runS-batted in, she Cheroke Chieftain is up among the leaders in home runs with II, and sports a batting mark of .295, just .003 below his lifetime average. His best year was 1889 when he clouted 338 for Connie Mack's Ath- letics, while last season he paced the Bosox with a fancy .324.
 Rescued
 Manager Joe Cronin rescued the hefty outf1elder from Washington after the 1943 season to compensate for the batting punch which draft of1cials had taken into the service. As far as Johnson himself was con- cerned, the move was happy one because he never knew from one day to the next in the capital city whether he'd be on first base, third, or in the outfield.
 Stationed permanently in Ted Williams old left field spot, the In- dian from Yelm, Wash, soon was pulling balls of the fence with his glove and pushing them over 1t with his bat. When Ferriss was breaking in, Johnson frequently aided his cause with timely extra-base blows. Besides doing his own hitting, Johnson has taken to coaching Ed- die Lake at the plate during the past few weeks, and the Sox short- stop gives him full credit for boost- ing him from a 200 to a .312 bats- man. At Johnson's suggestion he moved back in the batter's box to give himself more chance to use his powerful wrist motion, and as a re- suit opposing outflelders are mov- ing back closer to the fences. AL ready Lake has collected eight hom- CTS. half of which, he says belong to Johnson altogether. and the other half we share"

After three days of qualifying play, they get oil to rousing start today with simultaneous 18-hole medal play in the mems open, the amateur tour nament and the women's open.

 Nelson has won eight straight in- diyidual tournaments, climaxing his record streak two weeks ago by taking the coveted P. c. A. title. Then he was acclaimed the great est of all time, but now he must prove 1t against two men who were not in the PGA-Lieutenant Ben Hogan, the little Texas sharpsheoter and Slammin' Sammy Snead, power swinging West Virginian.

(Dutch) Harrison, Har- old (Jug) McSpaden, the games No ? money winner behind Nelson; Sammy Byrd, PGA runner up: Johnny Revolta - in short all of golf's great moderns with the ex- ception of one or two, such as Law son Little.
 They were all exempt from quail flying play which ended yesterday when 90 pros qualified for the mems open, led by George Payton, 22- year-old assistant pro at a Hamp- ton, Va, club who shot a brilliant four under par 68. The only stars who failed to make it were Newton Bassler of Carmel, Calif., and Leon- ard Dodson of Kansas City, Mo, CO., holder of the course record here.
 Also starting of on the 72-hole grind today is 32-woman field of top skill and a 27 man amateur field.
 Leading golf gal is defending Champion Betty Hicks, faced with stiff competition from Lieutenant Patty Berg of the Marines, Dorothy Germain, two-time women's west ern amateur champion and little Carol (Babe) Freese of Portland, Ore, who grabbed medalist honors when she qualified Tuesday with three under par 73.
 Ed Furgol of Detroit, 1944 win- ner of the amateur, since has turn ed pro and will be competing in the open. thereby leaving his title va- cant.
 Among the 40 low scorers who qualified yesterday for the all- American open were:
 Harry Nettelbladt, Avon, Conn, 37-36-73 and Morrie Gravatt, Hart ford, Conn, 35-38-73.
