SWeI-n H. the European zone.
 It's all pretty bewildering, but here are the facts, as gleaned at Forest Hills from U OS. Davis Cup officials
 Sweden has agreed to play in the United States if Sweden tri- umphs. Yueoslavaia has agreed to nothing despite fervent pleas from this country and the presence Of U. s. tennis ambassador Up to now our Cup chiefs have been been working on the idea that the Interzone final would be contested at Forest Hills in August What With complete silence from Yugo- slavia, they don't know what to expect
 YUGOSLAVIA IS CHOICE
 It 50 happens that Yugoslavia is a strong favorite to trim the SWedes. And, if the Yugoslavs desire they can insist the inter zone final be played in Australia.
 All of which puts Us in a quan- dary,' said one Cup boss. We've done everything to get some word from the Yugoslavs. without sue cess. We have been informed Rus sla IS running affairs in Yugo- slavla, including sports, and we've been told Stalin doesn't want the Yugoslav team to play in America.
 'If such is the case. it's useless to contact the Yugoslavs. They'll do what they're told"

Good Selection
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Selection of Joe Samoska and Serge Belanger to head the 1946 On To Harrisburg" financial cam- paign, funds of which will be used to defray expenses N the Water bury representative in the All-Am- erlcan Amateur Baseball Association at Harrisburg, Pa.; early in Septem- Der; is popular one that ought to develop quick results which are nec- essary in view of the lack of time in which to raise about $1,60O
 Both men are very Well-knoWn
 to Waterbury sports fans and
 business men; as both are busi-
 ness men and have been keenly
 interested in sports for many years. Joe Samoska has been
 sportsman all his life, operator of
 the 1946 Brasscos who have given the baseball fans of this city the
 best attractions possible to buy; such as the Phillies of the Ma
 tional League, "red-hot" club at
 the time in it's drive for first div
 ision and later, the Pittsburhg
 Pirates, as well as any number Ol HlSH-Idllk1llS lIluepellutIlI teams. On his own team, Samos- ka has two sets of brothers, the Sheehans and Cuccinellos whose diamond work has pleased Bras co regulars all season, though the Cuccinellos have not been avail
 able for every game.
 Serge Belanger, a classmate of mine from dear old Wilby High d920) is very well-known in local political and financial circles being city treasurer of Waterbury and manager of finance concern. His energy and ability to cope with any financial situation will stand the City Amateur League in good stead because of the necessity for action due to the short time in which necessity for action due to the short time in which necessary funds must be secured in order for the local champions to participate in the na- tional tournament as scheduled.

College Stars Upset Pros l6-O
By TOMMY DIVINE United Press Sports Writer

Chicago, Aug. 24-tUP)-Foot- balls hottest argument. the relative strength of the established national league and the new All-America conference f1ared anew today in the wake of the 18th annual An- Star game @
 The College All-StarS defeated the world professional champion Los Angeles Rams Is to 0 before a sellout throng of 97.38O fans al Soldiers Field last night and the two key figures in the triumph were youngsters who will make their pro debutS this Fall with teams in the All-Ameriea conference
 ElroY Hirsch. the gridiron danc- ing master, who flashed on pre-war collegiate fields with the University of Wisconsin, gave a brilliant run ming exhibition as he scored both the All-Star touchdowns, And the star of the great All-Star line was Martin Ruby, former Texas A. x M. tackle.
 Hirsch will play professional ball with the Chicago Rockets and Ruby has been signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers.
 The brilliance of Hirsch and Ruby isn't likely to be matched often in the Au-Ameriea ranks, but at least temporarily the new circuit can hold its own in any argument as to comparative strength. In addition to Hirsch and Ruby, 37 other members of the All-Star squad will play in the All-America this year. Sixteen members of the squad belong to Ma tlonal League teams.
 Long Run
 Hlrsch broke up the contest late in the first period when he raced 38 yards for touchdown, the long est run from scrimmage in the l3- year history of this preseason classic.
 The All-Star attack had sputtered futllely through the early part of the period, but after the Collegians took the ball on downs. Hirsch slipped off his own right tackle fought of the Ram secondary and then sprinted down the sidelines for the marker.
 Pat Harder, d former Wisconsin teainmate, added the point from placement
 Agam III the third period HIlsct gave the huge crowd chance 1, roar when he took pass iron QUO Graham of Northwestern Graham tossed the ball 37 yard. Tn the air and the Wisconsin acc took 1t on the dead run over his shoulder, shook off Jim Gillette, the defending Ram halfback, and out ran him 10 the goal line, Agair Harctsz converted.

Davis Cup captain. expresses con- cern at the trend of events
 If Yugoslavia wins and won { play here. 1t will cause no end of trouble" he says Tt will mean we'll have to go to Australia sev- eral weeks earlier, and I, for one, don't think I'll be able to leave my business for that long a period. !" BREAK FOR AMERICANS
 On the other side of the pie ture Bill Tilden and George Lott assert it would be a break for the American Davis Cuppers if they did play the interzone final in Australia.
 The boys would have better chance to become acclimatized," 7" explains Tilden CThe American tennis public would miss the inter zone final, but it might mean the difference between winning and losing the Cup. You never can get to a battlefield too early"
 Pate and his fellow Cup officials are keeping their fingers crossed. Probably they are hoping that Sweden whips Yugoslavia, That would solve everything, as the Swedes don't have to listen to Stalin. But Bergolin, the Swedish ace, cant handle the job single handed. The veteran Yugoslavs ap- pear to have the edge.
 All the experts are agreed on one item, however, which is that in America or Australia, interzone or challenge round the U. s. team should win hands down.
 It's merely the inconvience which started the argument.

 While the Sacred Hearts have scored only one win in six starts this series, the Brooklyns will be taking no chances and will be armed to the hilt for the all inn- portant game Jack Miller will be on the firing line with Mandy Brooks, former West Haven sailor baekstopper, doing the receiving. Wales will do the flinging for the Hearts
 The Francos will call on Breezy. Bedrudzckk to face the Thomas Club The north enders were un- defeated in second round competi- ton till last Sunday when the Brooks rudely upset them with I4-hit barrage While the Trenches will be on the long end of the wagering, one cannot overlook the fact that the Tomlnies have pulled several games out of the fire this campaign and are likely to do it 1 again tomorrow.
 The Tribunes and Hills should 1 provide plenty of fireworks in their No. setto on No. ? at 4. Both clubs have outside chances Of gain- ing tie for first place and will no doubt be in there swinging from their heels. Billy Boos will start for the Tribes with Ralph Bradley tossing them for the Hills.
