S1O AND S12.5O TOO MUCH SAY GAL. GROUP
Rv IOHN rT.IINEY

Very definite reaction that the City Amateur baseball league of Waterbury will not pay any baseball umpire more than S per game came to the writer today, in the wake of the Connecticut Baseball Umpires Association vote last night to accept work in the local league at not less than $lO for one man; $12.50 for two uInps.
 Within the past week, Clifford McHale, president of the City AHna- teur League named Patrick Shea. manager of the defending champion Tribune A. O.; John Howard of the Sacred Heart A. c. and William ,. Derwin, publicity director for the league, to meet with an umpire'k association and try to come to some agreement on 1946 fee for the men in blue who may work the Sunday CAL games at Hamilton Park.
 At least two members of the coIr- mittee, Shea and Derwin, are op- posed to $l0 fee for a single una. pire; in fact, believe that the man. agers will vote for not more than So for plate umpire, $3 for base umpire when two men are used. The difference is $4.50 less for two men than the umpire's association asks on the basis of its vote last evening.
 Four Umps Apply
 It was also disclosed that the City Amateur League has applications from four umpireS at the $5-S3 rate. two of the umps from Waterbury and believed to be members of the CbUA; though their applications were filed with the CAL before the umpires voted on any particular fee for its members intending to work In the City Amateur League this season.
 The deadlock which has existed in the wage dispute has been further aggravated by stand pat" attitude Of the two parties. The CBUA voted. In closed session at the YMCA last night, not to accept anything under the $lO for single official, and $7.50 and $5 for two umpires, from the CAL.
 Opinions
 Pat Slattery, organizer of the CBUA, said that it was his opinion that the league and his organization may be able to do business at the latest price. But when William J. Oerwtn, CAL representative, was contacted he stated that the CAL. as far as he knew, YVES going 10 stand pat on their original price of 50 and 8. Before last nights con- Iao It was rumored that members of the CBUA were negotiating with the CAL on the first offer, and that it was acceptable, but Slattery said that the Association of officials was unanimous in their vote not to ac- cept anything less than their latest compromise. Should any member of the CBUA decide to accept CAT, games for less than the Associations latest figure, that member or mem- berS will be suspended indefinitely rom that group, Slattery commen- ted. The general consensus is that if the CAL decides to look for out of town officials 1t will cost them more in the end than it would to hire CBUA members. Althoueh some members of the CAL feel that the league may be willing to com promise with $6 and $4, the writer has been told by unimpeachable sources that both parties are going to remain firm on their original demands.

Club; the days of the late Judge Johnny McGrath, the late Arthur Lunny, the late Lawyer Ed Reilly, the late Judge Abner Hayes and many others. Golf has given Billy Burke a fine living; but he has earned it the hard way and there fore he is more entitled to it and it must be more enjoyable. At one time, Burke held FIVE golf jobs at the same time, and among the best is his Cleveland Country Club posi- ton as golf professional.
 Grantland Rice recently met Burke in Florida, played round of golf with him and then wrote a corking column titled; "the Saga of Billy Burke" in which Rice told of Burke's recalling his match with Henry Topping for the Con- necticut amateur championship; won by Topping, up after 36 holes of play. Topping, father of the current owner of New York Yam kee baseball stock and the pro football team in the new All America league, told Rice T was lucky to beat him. He plays every shot better than I can; and with more experience will, one day be U. s. Open champion" How true was Henry Toppings prophecy was recorded more than 10 years later, when Burke beat Won Elm; the pair having played l08 holes ALL EVEN with the temperature near the 100 mark; and at the end of IA holes of golf, Burke was the new USOpen golf champion by a single stroke. Truly, one of the greatest championship struggles in sports history.
 When June rolls around, Cleve- land will be the scene of the l946 U. s. Open; and, though he may not win it, Billy Burke will be among the most popular of all professionals present, He is now hitting tee shot 15 yards more than he did 15 years ago, when he was (and still is) one of the best chippers and putters among the men who Wake their living from the ancient and honorable game.

 TIGERS

Evansville, Ind, April 1O-Billy Hitchcock's chances of landing the third base job with the Detroit Tigers were brighter today because of evidence that he can come through with hit when 1t is vitally needed.
 It was Hitchcock's two run triple in the last of the ninth yesterday that gave the Tigers a 4 to 3 vic- tory over the Boston Braves. He spoiled the day for young Jim Wal lace, Boston southpaw, who was fashioning fine game in his home town of Evansville. Successive hits by Jimmy Outlaw, Rookie Catcher Joe Erautt, Hitchcock and Eddie Mayo defeated him. The game was the last between the teams, Detroit winning seven and losing only two.
 Manager Billy Southworth of the Braves reported that Outfielder Frank Lamanna had been sent back to Boston for treatment after re- currence of jungle rot which he had contracted while serving in the South Pacific.
 DODGERS
 Louisville, Ky, April 10-Pitcher Ralph Branca, who hadn't been figured on as a Dodger starter be- cause of lack of experience, was doing nicely today without it. The Brooklyn youngster blanked the hard hitting New York Yankees on five hits, winning ? to o yesterday and holding Joe DiMaggio hitless for the first time in 10 games. It also marked the first time in eight straight games that the Yankees hadn't hit homer.
 PHILS LOSE
 Charleston. s. C., April 10-The Phils made the hits but the Sena- tors got the runs and the victory yesterday in an exhibition game which they won 1 to on three hits. Washington made one of its runs on homer by Jack Sanford while Jim Tabor hit one for the PhilS to account for both of their runs.
 REDS
 Lexington, Ky, April 10-short- stop Eddie Miller'S three run homer highlighted the Cincinnati Reds 1 to ? victory over the Boston Red Sox in the final game between the teams. The Red Sox finished the series with 19 victories and seven defeats. Boston failed to score off Pitcher Nate Andrews until the ninth when both runs came on single by Sam Mele, 6 triple by George Metkovich and an jnfield out,

 Buffharn thinks his patented sym thetic green is just the thing to have around he house when a golfer can't get to the course and especially on cold winter nights, when the dyed-in the wool addict gets the itch to try butts.
 w. s. Buffharn has figured out that by simple manipulation of the gear, the apparatus is capable of producing more than 10000 different kinds of puts.
 That ought to be enough for the most rabid golfer.

Racine, Wis, April 10--(NEA)-- w. s. BuHham of Racine, is . golfer who couldn't putt and decided to do something about 1t.
 Dissatisfied with the parlor rug as surface for use because 1t failed to provide the curved and rolling surface of regular green, Buffham retired to his basement and came up with what he claims is the nearest thing to Q regular green short of being out on the golf course itself.
 Buffham's answer to the problem of what makes those butts hang on the lip of the cup is an apparatus composed of raised platform with gear arrangement underneath, making 1t possible to alter the con- tour of his simulated green 50 that you never get the same putt twice.
 Attached to the underside of the putting surface are clamps connec- ted by rods to two axles which in turn are connected with a ratchet gear. By the pull of 8 lever which operates the gear the axles are

Mrs. Davies Tells Of Siamese
Loyalty to AlHes IN War
By Gretchen Smith
Wnrnen,S club Edifor

Loyalty of the Siamese to the
Allies during the japanese occupa-
ton of Siam, was demonstrated in
many ways through the work of the
Siemese underground, former
resident of Bangkok told the Wom-
ans Club of Chevy Chase yesterday.
Mrs. J. E. Davies, who went to
Siam in 1923 and lived in the coun-
try's capital for 20 years. told of the
efficient organization by the Siamese
of an underground which func-
toned throughout the entire war
and was carried on in the midst
Of the strongest Japanese control.
"Siamese officers would fraternize
with the Japanese and within "a
hours, information they had gained
regarding prisoners of war or loca-
ton of prison camps was passed on
to the underground. whe in turn
sent the information to the Ameri-
cans and the British"
Mrs. Davies returned to the
United States on the Gripsholm in
1943 and brought letters from num-
erous prisoners of war.
There were between 12l, 900 and
10000 prisoners of war held by the
japanese whose whereabouts were
unknown" she said. Information
on these camps as well as other
matters of importance were brought
by Mrs. Davies to Washington after
her return.
The strategic Importance of Siam
in a war-torn Asia was emphasized
by the speaker who pointed out
that only 10 per cent of the arabic
lands in the country are under cul-
tivation.
There are $4,000, 900 people in
