1Lougn the gOlt season is SUD- poSedly on its last legs at this time of year in Waterbury and vic- unity, two of the best exhibitions of the game on record since last April were turned in over last week end at the Chase and Country Clut of Waterbury courses.
 Club professional Al Labutis whose memorable tie with Tommy Armour for the Shore Line Open at the Mill River Club, was one of the outstanding events of the sum- mer season; toured his home course at Chase in an even 100 strokes; that is 100 for 27 holes in the form of S4-34-32 for three times around the 9-hole Chase layout; which shows a 66 for the last IS holes; LabutiS' card also showing 10 birdies for the day. Five players which completed a sixsome were on hand; including Johnny Cav anaugh, Ernie Dyson, Clem and Eddie Labutis, and Charley Mack, the group having r birdies among them,
 At Waterbury course, Sunday, Willie Winton, former profes- sional, who has been an amateur competitor for several years scored an even par-69 in four some with Harold Beebee, Dr. J. W. Sugar and Dr. S. w. Dreh- CT; Winton's card showing 35-34 -69 which is no small accom- plishment over that particular layout: one of the best in the eastern part of the country.
 Waterbury was very well repre- resented at the Polo Grounds Sun day, where the Steve Owen Giants defense was so good that it shut out the Chicago Bears 14-0; the first time in year that the Bears have been blanked. Bridgeport Chet Gladchuk an All-America line man from Boston College; playing Mel Hein's pivot position was ter rife local eye-witnesses report; while the manner in which Sid Luckn1an's passes were Smothered and intercepted 6 interceptionS) gave the Giant rooters among the crowd of 10000 fans something to marvel at. It was one of the great est victories in Owens long and successful career as head coach Of the football Giants. Hank Soar, Providence, R. l., native, who has played basketball in Waterbury sev- eral times also turned in a great job in the Giant backdeld.

 Quick to take advantage of a confusing situation; Hartford pro- motors have rematched New Haven Willie Andrews and Middletown's Billy Ross as a prelim on tonight's Red Doty- Charley MacPherson headliner. Last week, Ross went down from a left hook to the stom- ach, which was not below the belt; but refused to get up when Referee Billy Taylor tried to lift him by the arm; then counted him out; the official regarding the punch as fair.

 Art Tatta, the New Haven boy who has had 19 knockouts in 28 bouts; after years of European soldering that won him Purple Heart and several other individual and unit citations; is training in New York for his state middle weight title bout with Billy Walker of Saybrook; whose undisputed win over Charley (KO) Clancy may make him favorite against Tatta; who will be real sharp" for his big chance Friday night at the state armory The bout could easily end in a knockout, as both boys are terrific punchers and excep- tionally good infighters as well.
