Ode to Alfonso
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

In New Haven, West Springfield and down Miami way, depending upon the season of the year, Al Car oly, the Elm City boxing impress sario who has really struck it rich" for the past two years, can be seen by boxers, fans, and newspapermen without formal invitation. Currently, he is in action at West Springfield where weekly crowds of 5000 to 4,000 are said to be commonplace: while last winter he was very successful in Florida though he had to drive taxicab to be sure of daily rationS not more than 3 years ago, when he went south for his annual vacation
 A Springfield ringworm, handy with words, put together the fol- lowing rhyme regarding the little sharpshooter, known to most man. agers in Connecticut, New York and Massachusetts. AS the poem appeared in the Springfield Union, it's quite good, as follows. There's foxy, crafty snowman. Al Carolys his cogomen
 With a manner like banner, Snapping out upon the breeze. He's champion playing rummy; Tho he sometimes plays the dummy, He's cratic and fanatic, But, the pugs think he's the cheese. His brain is sharp and Shifty, And his Palm Beach shirts are nifty, He's whiz in picking maulers. That adorn each Monday card, He can smell phony actor; And each hoodlum malefactor. With the keenness and the ShreWd-
 ness,
 Of a dick from Scotland Yard. And he's got line Of chatter. Served out on golden platter; Sweet as honey and it's funny How the gang enjoys his shouts. If you ever want to meet him; Merry-mitt him and to greet him, He's the little fighting Caesar, That promotes the boxing bouts.

People like to see ballplayer look like one regardlessof how many homers he hits and regardless of how great a reputation he has. Williams looks like a ball player at the plate but that is as far as it goes. He may not need to care about what the fans think, now, but he will later when he begins to go down the ladder and is no longer able to bargain on his own terms. Yes, Ted Williams is the Red SoX'S leading slugger, and perhaps one of their best gate attractions, but he is also one of Manager Joe Cronin's S biggest headaches. At least that's the impression we get.
 Challenge!
 The Bunker Hill ESquires chal- lenge the West Sire A.C. to a re- turn contest, on a date to be deter mined, to decide the best team in series of which the Esquires have won one game and the Sides the other. Much local interest is cen tered around both teams and such contest would draw big turnout. Paging Ed Cronck! The eEsquires would also like contests with the Brass City Buddies, Watertown Aces, Naugatuck Highlanders, Oak vile Red Sox, Middlebury AC. and the Gents of the Hill. For games call Manager Yin Maloney at 3-9l89 between 5:30 and 6:45. The Esquires will play the Bethlehem team to- night and will travel to Thomaston to play the Legion on Friday.

By YIN MALONEY To Addition For Cubs:

This writer has learned rom reliable source that Bill Cavanaugh, catcher for the Brasscos, Tribune A. c. and the Bunker Hill ESquires; Bill Loos, hurler for the Tribes; and Jim Piersall and Bernie LaWlor Of the Brooklyn A. C. will perform for scout from the Chicago Cubs at the Municipal Stadium this Satur- day. These boys have been invited by the Cub scouts to be on hand to show their baseball talents.
 Bill Cavanaugh, who it is said will be given tryout with the Lawrence Millionaires of the New England loop next season will nevertheless appear at the Stadium on Saturday. Piersall, who was chosen to represent the City Ameteur League in the Sandlot classic in Philadelphia recently, was praised from every quarter for his performances in that game. Lawlor was recently awarded the Player of the Year Award by the Brooklyn A. c. for being the outstanding scholastic performer in the past season, and many sport fans in this vicinity will remember Billy Loos of Hillhouse for his sterling basketball performance against LeavenWorth in the State Tourney this past sea- son and also for his Al perform ance as hurler for the Tribune AC. These four boys are the tops in their field and definitely have a good chance of impressing the scouts favorably. We've got our fingers crossed.
 "Slugger" Vigeant
 WOW! That was the only ex- pression to be heard when Frankie Vigeant, the Thomaston boxer, who is handled by Joe Mobile, knocked out Waterbury's Bobby Hicks, at the Municipal Stadium last Friday night. The crowd was up on it's feet to see what had come over the Thom- aston boxer, who completely chang ed this style in this fight by carry ing the fight to the colored slugger throughout the seven rounds. Us- ually Vigeant played the cagey- hard to get fighter but in this parti- cular fight he had Hicks on the run all the time. His form looked good at all times as he handed Hicks a severe body-beating and to top it all off finished him with a right to the heart. After the fight was over this writer entered the Vigeant dressing room, where the boy was taking his win very quietly, to find out just how Manager Joe Mobile felt about this change of style and it's results. AS usual Joe was very non-committal although he did say, I've always told you that Frankie is a good fighter and he is improving al lthe time Well after this fight we can well believe this as this fight will attest to. We predict great things for this boy Best of luck to Joe and Frankie Also in the dressing room was Papa Brady, father of Irish" Pat Brady.
