By WIN MALONEY

With the permission of Mother Nature /" Sacred Heart High will usher in its scholastic baseball sea- son, by playing host to Wilcox Tech of Meriden at the Municipal Sta- dium, this afternoon at 3:30. Bob McAree Is Coach Roy "Duster" Mllrphy's choice to start on the mound, today, while Robert filling Skelley will work behind the plate. The remainder of the Heart line- up will remain intact as 1t was an- nounced for their first contest with Thomaston last week, which was rained out. Coach Murphy has Cap" Cappeletta and Bobby Mar kovic in reserve, just in case his mound stalwart, McAree, should falter. This being the first contest for the Catholic High School combine. their strength is yet u1tested, but from all indications they will field fairly powerful combine. Fran Fahy, Bill Walsh, and Bill Heidi camp are known to wield a powerful club and will add power to the Red and Yellow lineup.
 TorringtOn Here
 Jack Manherz's Crosby High School baseball mine" will collide with Torr1ngton High at the Muni- cipal Stadium tomorrow afternoon at 3 p. m. This should be a nip | and tuck" contest as the Donahue autflts tied with Wilby for the Val- | ley League top berth and Crosby, | from all indications, is just the team with enough power, to knock | the aspiring champs of their pedes- tai. It is this writer's guess that | Coach Manherz will either start Margolis or Hansen against the up- state combine. Should the Blue and White stop Torringtony. Wilby will fall into undisputed command of the Naugatuck Valley League stand ings.

The Vatican newspaper said Bishop

necessary in dealing with ecclesias-
tical affairs, or in promoting religious
interests" the account said.
The newspaper said Francis Car
dinal Spellman of New York, and not
the Vatican, had appointed Bishon
Muench vicar of Catholic American
troops.
The article said the Vatican was
no more interested in whether Myron

had relations with the Morgan in
terests than it was in the profession
or business in their own countries
