Frank .Vigeont In
 Semi-FinoI

With fine fight weather in pros pect, the return battle that hun dreds of local fans have been wait ing for goes on tonight at Munich pal Stadium when Coolidge Miller of New York and Ernie Griffin of Tampa, Florida. pair of big, slug ging colored boys, who meet in the ten-round main bout of the Water bury A. c. show get their leather covered hands up for the second time.
 In the eight-round semi-final. a middleweight natural" involving two boys who will swap hooks and jabs for the first time Frankie Vigeant of ThomaSton and Bobby Hicks of this city; may rival the main go for action and fan satis- faction, as both Frank and Bobby are hard hitters who have knocked out plenty of opponents within the past six months. Vigeant has won q of 9 bouts: while Hicks has flattened his last six ring foes, in cluding Floyd (Bab Stroud of Tampa, on last weeks Eddie Compo- Joe Iannotti card at the stadium.
 If the Negro heavyweights, Mil Ter and Griffin. even remotely ap- proach their last glove duel, when they go again tonight: the patrons of the manly art will be more than satisfied. for most men who saw them go a few weeks ago, are unanimous that they sat in on "one of the best fights in years" Oddly enough. Miller, a New York boy. was a substitute that night, and he proved capable enough to fight a Slashing 8-round draw with Grif- fin, who first showed his ring tal- ent locally when he easily disposed of Dula Kovach on the card fea- turing George (KOl Clancy of Baltimore
 Fan interest is divided locally as to which will be the better battle Miller and Griffin or Vigeant and Hicks as both bouts are possible "hair-raisers." Miller and Vigeant will be probable favorites to win. but there is little to choose; for all four boys are terrific sluggers with knockout possibilities in any round.
 Two six-round bouts including Billy Brown of Manchester, a Wat erbury boy now living in the up- state silktown, against Ellis Mor- gan of Hartford; and Al Silver man of the Bronx. N. Y, against Charley Harris. also newcomer from N Y, may also develop some excellent action. Brown is well known to local ringworms; while Silverman seemed to know what it was all about in his short test with Bridgeport's Jimmy Rogers last week; the latter suffering a cut eyebrow at the very end of the first round which caused the bout to be stopped, as the cut was a severe one. Morgan is rated a good Hartford 'club" fighter and could very easily be the winner over Brown; whose action has been limited since discharge from the service of Uncle Sam.
 A four-round bout, featuring Springfleld's Johnny Lizak and Don Pearson of Middletown will start the flstic ball a-rolling, about 8.30 P M

 Waterburians March On New York!
 During he past few weeks we have read quite bit about the Jewish War Veterans and other associations marching on the White House in Washington, D. c. but now l would like to tell you about few Waterburians who plan to march on New York City this weekend, and the Yankee Stadium in particular. The big reason for this exodus being that the Red Sox will be in town to play the Yankees. And these days that's reason enough because sports fans all over the nation are either Boston fans or Yankee rooters.
 From the Brass City and vicinity Sergt. Joe Cavanaugh, Bill Rado of Naugatuck, Chris Strobel, John ny Kelley, Joe Cavanaugh and many others will travel to the Big City to see Ted Williams hit a home run for Boston or Buddy Suchock, the sensational young rookie, perform for the Yankees. Yes, the Brass City will be well represented in New York, this weekend. Even the writer may drop in to see Boston whip the Tanks. Oh! What am I saying?
 Cavanaugh to catch for Tribes
 Billy Cavanaugh will catch for Packy Shea's Tribune A. c. in the City Amateur league contests for the rest of the season, it was learn ed by this writer today. Billy has been doing the backstopping chores for the Esquires in the Public Parks league and as second string catcher for the Brasscos. This addition to the Tribe lineup will give them some much needed punch in the home stretch :-".+@-

 Large Turnout Expected at Fight
 Although there are no really name fighters on the Waterbury A. C.'s fight card at the Municipal Stadium tonight large turnout from Wa terbury as well as all parts of the state is expected, because the Vige- ant-Hicks tussle is turned ma tural" by men who have seen both fighters. Every one of the five bouts will provide the fans with some reel classy fighting which may turn in- to slugfest. AS one expert summed 1t up T would rather see one bout with plenty of thrills and spills than live name fighters who toe donce around the ring"
 Seat" Davis
 It ccurred to this writer to ask Johnny Davis where he got the peculiar nickname seat" Johnny says that was given to him about four or five years ago when he was playing basketball for Driggs in a championship game against Barn. nard. Johnny used to spurt around the court with such amazing speed and ability that he was tabbed scat" which has stuck ever since. And the man who gave him this name was none other than Bill Derwin, supervisor of recreation.

What was expected to be nip and tuck softball game between two evenly balanced teams playing for a chance to complete in the state tournament at Stratford August 18, turned into an almost unbelievable l1-run shutout as Waterbury Tool shut out U. s. Rubber last night on three-hit pitching by Hardy Brown ell, and some really fancy slugging by Herb French; who batted in six runs with a homer and triple and also had a single-by way of no harm.
 Tool started with run in the first inning as French and Moore singled and the Rubbermen com- mitted their lone error of the game Nothing much happened until the fourth, when Tool climbed on Bill Rado for runs; and did it again in the sixth inning during a 14-hit barrage. Pitcher Brownell, Billy Moore and Joe DeVito hit we'll Eddie Walker being a standout for the losers.
 A squabble over permission to use the diamond held up the start ot the game for some time, before police were called to settle the dis pute. Score:

says the Patriot To the businessman,
large and small, it means purchasing
