 Face Brasscos

Manager Joe Samoska of the Brasscos went out to see couple of old friends, Jack StreW and Joe Stevens, play for the Country Club of Waterbury Invitation Golf championship Saturday afternoon. It was a warm, blistering day on the links and Stevens was as hot as the weather, which didn't excite the usual eXciteable Samoska.
 We finally got break he told some Brassco fans among the golf gallery Its a beautiful day; it's warm and we have a great attrac- tion, the return game with the New York Cops. We will draw a crowd tonight" But the golf match was only over a short while when black clouds appeared in the sky, and a terrific downpour followed, washing out the game.
 The stadium was soaked, the stands were too wet, and the New York Police team and the Brassco players, headed by the Cuccinello brothers who had come up from New York, were disappointed. So was Samoska.
 I'm getting used to these set backs" he said. We have been rained out four times in the last two weeks, and we lost two great attractions, the Cleveland Buckeyes and the New York Police games. Ii has cost our club several hundred dollars in rain guarantees to visit ing teams, but I don't mind the f. nancial setbacks if I could fine some clear, warm nights to bring the Buckeyes and Cops back here again"
 Action Ahead
 The Brassco manager has two games lined up for this week, { meeting with the hard-hittine Madison, N. J., Colonials, Wednes- day night an dthe New York Fire men Saturday night. The Colonial. waged a slugfest with the West Ha- ven Sailors yesterday.
 Walt Gathman of Yale and tht Marines, who joins the benedict! Saturday, is slated to pitch Wednes- day with Mike KisSko getting { Saturday starting assignment.

A good many eyebrows were lift d a considerable distance due north when young Joe SteponaitiS one of four brother golf fourSome knocked off the able and tourna- ment-tested Dr. Marvin Scarbor- ough Saturday morning at Country Club of Waterbury by and margin; while the tourney medal ist, Jack Strew of East Mountain (par 69 in qualifying round) had to go all out to take the measure of classy Charley Clare of Race Brook another seasoned campaigner and co-record holder (6D for the Wa terbury course with Eddie Burke Race Brook professional where Clare has been a member for many years.
 So, when the two Waterbury boys, Strew and Steponaitis met in the finals of the three-day in- vitation tournament, there was considerable consternation among the New Haven delegation, which had figured Clare or Scarborough as a certain" finalist; but it turned out to be the Brass City boys. Out in 33, Steponaitis pull led away from Strew so quickly, that Joe was 6 up at the turn, which is almost uncanny against golfer of StreW'S ability, who scored 69 two days previous. However, Jack made game of it by winning the 10th and 11th holes; but lost the 12th and from there on, it was just matter of time and distance.
 On the 9th hole, Steponaitis got off his first bad drive from an elevated tee on the 48l yard par hole Gan easy five but tough 4 while StreW md beautiful mid dle-fairway drive out far enough to allow him a reasonable shot for the green; over water. Stepo- naitis looked at his ball in the short rough off the fairWay; used a number iron at an agle for the green and lined the ball to within Is feet of the 9th hole for an eagle" putt; which he missed, but won the hole with a conceded birdie" four.
 It was one of the finest legitim- ate golf shots this writer ever saw.
 Going to the tenth hole, down, Strew was well out on his drive while Steponaitis messed up the hole from tee to green; but Strew played an iron shot to the green which is laid high above the fair way; which was so good all the way that Steponaitis conceded birdie 3, when Joe was not on the. green after shots. Strew's iron shot was nearly as sensational as

Shut Out NE. Tommies 1O-O Hills Lose:

By virtue of ten run shutout on three-hit pitching by Jack Miller, the Brooklyn A. c. loomed up very strongly as second round City Anna teur baseball league champions, scheduled to meet the Franco Amer jeans for the league title later this month. At Hamilton Park yesterday, Brooklyns blankel the second-round leaders from North End Thomas Club 1O-0 while Washington Hills were nicked 3-2 by Aviglianese; the Hills now tied with the Tribunes who edged the Florio Post boys 3-2, to remain in third place tie with the Hills.
 Pat Quilter's Washington Hill ar ray has protested game decision pending, which now becomes all im- portant, as the Hills need a verdict in their favor to stay in the second round competition; since yesterdays loss which came via Joe Rinaldi's two run homer in the sixth inning The Hill protest has been filed against the Brooklyn A. c. current second round leaders with 5-1 standing.
 Fra n o-Americans, first-round winners, but a three time loser in the second round, came up with 10 run shutout over the Hearts; who were unable to get hit off Walter Berzudcyk; whdse no-hlt, no-run game was the first in the league for a good many years.
 Five In First
 Dick Redman, Thomas Club pitch CT was soft touch" for B. A. c. batters who scored five runs in the first two innings. Winners got IA hits off Redman and Gryncalski; Doneski and Yokzka hitting ''3 for 5"; Piersall and Curley getting two each.
 Aviglianese got but hits, but Washington Hills could not make their 8 hits count enough to get more than run in the first inning which was squared by the Avigs in the fourth. Hills went ahead again in the sixth with run for 2-1 lead but Rinaldi's home run in the sixth with one runner on base did the trick, won the ball game and dropped the Hills to a third place tie with the Tribunes.
 Well-Done
 Bezrudcyk's perfect pitching per formance for the Franco Americans against Sacred Heart batters was something to see; for no one got past second base as the F-A pitcher famed Il in the full inning test Three runs in the first, and tive more in the fourth and fifth sewed up the game for the first-round win ners.

Time, C.L.P Lead Second Round SofbaU

U. s. Time moved into the top spot in the American League by handing Waterbury Tool and their ace pitcher Brownell his first defeat of the current season in the League. Time had good chance to stay up there, as they have played most of the top teams, while Tool has yet to meet them. Scovill plays Tool on Hamilton No. 1. on Monday in the top game.
 Connecticut Light & Power has an undefeated record for the sec ond round but will be meeting the heavy end of their circuit from here in with Farrel Tuesday an da post poned game with Waterbury Con- panies on Friday. Patent Button has yet to crack the win column this round but they have lost few by one-run margins.

 Three weeks ago, Steponaitis scored a 32-34-66 for new Chase course record; tied 4 days later by the club pro, Al Labutis, who had a pair of 33's. In the club championship, Steponaitis looks like "stickout" while he will be very tough to beat at East Noun tain, too; but there is the good chance now that he can win three different tournaments on three different courses within three weeks.
