The Hindu, Singh Has EUerythin9!
By JOHN A. CIUNEY

Of the motley collection of mat men on exhibition at the state ar- rnory for the past few weeks the one that showed the most skill as a wrestler as well as entertainer was, in my opinion, the Hindu, Nanjo singh. From his yellow turban (dishtowel model 3H8-4O) southward to the soles of his Inediuin-sized brogars, Singh had plenty of "color' black hair dark brown skin and yellow turban and with 1t notice able ability as a wrestler who could have thrown the Irish hammer tttower Bert Healion and the Great Garabaldi through either of the big openings in the west wall of the arrnory into Library Park had he taken the notion to do so. That, of course, would not be part of the 'act' though he won both matches with Healion and Garabaldi, i1capacitat- ing the Italian American. wrestler for some 10 minutes with his feature hold, known to the hanmerlock and body fall trade as the COBRA DEATFMOCxl
 At this point, 1t is worthy of note that the cobra is @ species of Asiatic or African SNAKE, with a large hood just in back of the head which spreads as the venim- ous reptile rears lip and readieS itself to strike.
 To many mat fans, the hold ap- pears to be a new-f I1gled STRANGLE hold, and illegitiinate under wrestling rules; but Referee Charley Winters says the hold is legitimate, because the fingers or forearm of Singh do not clamp on the throat of an opponent; but behind both ears, numbing the ar- teries and cords and shutting off the blood supply to and from the head. 0arabaldi, to whom it was applied was dragged around the ring for several minutes, and fi- nally fell to the mat exhausted; for Referee Winters considered his condition worthy of attention of Waterburys state athletic corn- mission physician, Dr. Joseph Slavin, who brought Garabaldi to his senses after few minutes at- tention; the wrestler then going into action by grabbing the ref- cree and the doctor, scratching the latter'S chin with fingernail. However, pr. Slavin was quite equal to the occasion and freed himself quickly, calmed Garabaldi, who then left the ring for the shower-bath, where he revived himself, within a few feet of the blocky, wide-shouldered Hindu who had applied the Cobra death- lock to render the Italian fors- de-combat. The $64 dollar ques- ton still remainS--how much actual damage was done to, Cara baldi, for those wrestlers are bet ter theSpianS than wrestlers 98 percent of the time.

BY WIN MALONEY JR,

They're Off No, not seabiscuit or Whirlaway but Waterbury's three High Schools, Crosby, Wilby and Leavenworth in a mad scramble for the mythical city baseball and Naugatuck Valley League champion ships. With Wilby slated to meet Ansonia at the Municipal Stadium, tomorrow afternoon, Crosby travel ing to Rockefeller field on Wednes- day to usher in its season with a game with Taft, Leavenworth is the only member of the Big Three" whose opening date is yet question: able. Originally Coach Bill Tracy's charges were scheduled to travel to Seymour to give the down staters" a workout in non league tilt, but several factors have arisen which have not been cleared up at this writing. The first matter to be set- tied Is the fact that both Naugatuck and Leavenworth are scheduled to play Seymour on the same day and according to the Big Red mentor this issue has yet to be ironed put. The second detail which may pre- vent Techs scheduled debut is the lack of uniforms. Cc.ch Tracy in- formed the writer that he sent his baseball uniforms to New York to be cleaned and stored at the close of the last season and during the summer the warehouse in which they were stored, burned down. So, the company which was responsible, promised the Leavenworth mentor a new set of uniforms, but the local coach was informed last week that they would not be shipped from New York until sometime tomorrow. |. And according to Tracy his charges will delay their opening tilt until the next available date If the suits fail to arrive.

LEAvENWORTH

Perhaps the only member of the Big Three" which has a pre-sea- son lineup available before game time, regardless of the fact that their opening date is uncertain, is Leavenworth which also got it's pre- season workouts rolling in advance of its City baseball rivals. Coach Tracy worked for a good two weeks trimming his starting list of candi- dates of 65 to travelling quota of IS players. And for that reason has pretty good idea of just who his starters will be. According to the Tech coach Sal Recchia will start at first base: Dickie Howard will cover second and Richard Daddona will be at third. Roger Oulette, bas- ketball reserve, will be doing the chores" in the "hot corner at shortstop, while Dick Porto and Al DoStelar will be the infield under Studys. Joe Aufiero, freshman at Leavenworth and former Mary Ab- bolt Grammar School pitcher, has clinched the left field berth, while Captain Jimmy PierSall will be in his usual position in center field. The Rightfield post is a toSsup be- tween Joe Mancini, e junior, and Art BarStiS; a sophomore, with the odd man sliping into the capacity of utility outfielder. Bart Daly is a sure bet to start the season at catch while Tracy'S nomination for the number one mound assignment is still questionable. Some say that Al Leach, the coiored fast ball ar- tist, will get the nod, but 1t is this writer's guess that the Leavenworth mentor will give the nod to either Dante-Abbondolo or Winnie Syn- kowich as Leach was reported to be suffering from a sore arm. With these boys on tap, a godly number of them veterans of more than one campaign, Bill Tracy is highly op- tomiStic about the chance his charges have of starting the sea- son with . great big bang.
 Though arrangements for the Leavenworth-Seymou game were uncertain up to late this morning, Coach Bill Tracy has decided to go to Seymour tomorrow, as sched- uled. Neither team will have regular uniforms; though the Tech outfits will be one hand Wednesday in plenty of time for the Watertown game Friday, first home game of the season. Dante Abbondolo will be the starting pitcher for Leaven- worth against Seymour with Bart Daly behind the plate. Pitcher Al Leach is out ol action with a sore arm.

Quarter Million Fans Expected to See Opening Comes
High School Baseball Squads Set For Busy Yeor On Diomond
CROSBY

CROSBY
 Coach Jack Manherz k perhaps the more fortunate of the three local mentors, in the respect that he has a veteran squad returning with per- haps two exceptions, because he has group of "old timers" around who he can build his 1946 baseball com bine. And after week and one half of strenuous workouts at Hamilton Park, Coach Manherz has cut 20 promising players out of a group of approximately 30 candidates. And at first glimpse of these vets 1t would look as if Crosby has the City Baseball championship sewed up be- fore they really start. But the Crosby mentor has taught his squad that anything they expect to get on the baseball field they will have to work and work hard for. It is highly probably that the following candi- dates will start in the opening con- test with Taft on Wednesday; Joe Steck at first base; Nick Barone at second and Win Petteway at third base; Bernie Lawlor may be seen at shortstop this season although a last minute shakeup is entirely pos- sible. Joe Raneri, Jim Pickett, and Winnie Plea hold the outside edge on the outfield pocts, while the Blue and White strategist may de- eide to switch George Boisvert, one of Crosby's two catchers to the out- field. Out of six rnoundsmen; Dick Johnson, Paul Carpentieri, Lenny Margolis, Pete Kuznenko, Randy Duphiney and Russ Hansen, 1t is en- tirely probable that Hansen may get the nod for the opening contest. Gene Gilhooley will be behind the plate. Coach Manherz will issue suits to the entire 20 players on Wednes- day, the opening day, and although certain players tend to have the nod for certain positions, the Ivy coach says that the official lineup will not ready until game time"
