"The government can provide work by cutting a few red Strings.” In characteristic phrases, slow Speech, and unhurried gestures, “the sage of Tishomingo" elabo rated on his economic theories and his plainsman philosophy, scratch ing his bushy gray head the mean "The greatest unemployment ilia Ml come about February.

"The Memphis relief conference was highly successful, but was in tended only to crystallse sentiment so that a second conference might bear real fruit,” he said, puffing leisurely at his cigar, while ashes dropped unnoticed over his white cotton suit.

Labor hurts no one. An Idle brain is the devil's workshop and we already have too many devils and not enough workshops. "The dole system is unwise. Every person who can work should be privileged to find employment, for charity to an honorable per son Is offensive. The government has some funds that can be used for providing work simply, by cut ting a few rod strings." Thus in characteristic phrases the governor explained his plan for relief of the unemployed. Provide work, then make every able bodied man, woman and child do some work.

SEND DETECTIVE AFTER RATH TUB BURGLAR E Leary Makes Trip To New York To Pick Up Suspect Lack of Funds in Police Dept Again Hinders Prompt Chasing Down of Clues—Tip May Take Police Into New Jersey Towns Nearly three week* have passed aince the much talked ot "bath tub burglar’’ made hi* last "hit’’ in Waterbury. It 1* possible that hundreds have forgotten about his series of strange "breaks”, but It is very apparent that the police have not. tSeven suspects were picked up here within the past week and charged with various offenses. Five have been bound over to superior court under bonds ranging from $5,000 to $10,000; two more will be arraigned in police court to morrow morning, but not one of the seven is the much, sought for "bath tub” burglar. That It Is more than apparent that the police are deermined to apprehend the youth responsible for why burglaries, numerous scares, unusual police precautions and for two weeks of uneasiness for scores of residents In the vi cinity of the Columbia Boulevard, is shown in today's Incident. IJc tectlve John Leary of the detective bureau was sent to New York city to chase up another "tip" as to the whereabouts of the youth want ed here. The trail may lead to cities and towns in New Jersey, but if there is anything to the report about the location of the man Le tectlve Leary is expected to learn all there Is about It. It is more than possible that the will return with the suspect In town. Chasing burglars or suspected bandits out of the state Is too cost ly a pastime or business enterprise for the city. The police depart ment's funds will not permit it. The chase for the "bath tub” burg lar encountered the same obstacle as the search for the state's princi pal witness In the recent Torkom ian case. It was not until State's Attorney L. L.

BANKERS AID GREAT BRITAIN ON ROAD BACK Helping Htnd Given in the Pight for Commercial Prestige Edltor'i) Note: After seeing Brit ish industry steadily decline for more than a decade, London bank ers Anally have come to the rescue. Following Is the second article of a series dealing with the various phases of economic life In England. United Press Associations. By ARTHUR F. DEGREVE (United Frees Stair Correspondent) London—The conservative, in fluentlal Bank of England is at last giving British Industry a helping hand In Its Aght for life. Although London still remains a great money market. Industrialists here for past 10 years Agureatlve lyh vae gone to the cupbroad and found It bare. The explanation lies in the pol icies adopted by both the Ananclal Institutions and leaders of industry In the 19th century when Great Britain led the world in modern industrial development.. Two Kinds of Banks. It was an era of plenty. Money that found Its way into industry came from the pockets of owners and executives, many of whom hud independent fortunes. Ban.cs were divided Into two classe: 0ne.—Deposit banks-polnt stock banks, fchlch were organized to Anance commerce rather than lu* dustry and whose chief thought was fo rcasy liquidity of advances. Development of expansion of plant and equipment were not considered. Two—Merchant banks, which Ananced projects throughout the world including railways, mines, etc, hut which showed no interest In homo manufacturing houses whose Ananclal returns were not considered comparatively attrac tive. This situation confronted the country at the end of the World War, which consumed fortunes and men alike. Manufacturers suddenly were waced with the ne cessity of modernizing their plants in order to compete abroad and found It extremely ddifAcult and costly to obtain proper backing. Liquid Funds. Ample liquid funds existed in deposit banks and thsre were large subscriptions to huge foreign loans launched here, but the British in dustrialist was compelled to Aout stock Issues at high rates, because of the low learnings shown in the annual reports. The result was a steady decline In plant efAclency. The already serious condition of Industry was hastened by the world wide evo nomlc depression. At this point, In November, -82!), the Securities Management Trust Ltd, was formed under the auspices of tho Bank of England to investi gate and advise upon schemes of rataloallzatlon in the basic indus tries or Great Britain. In April, 1930, the hank spon sored the formation of the Bank ers' Industrial Development Co, Ltd, whose shareholders included all the important merchant bankers and Investment trusts. Its object was to provide funds to assist in rationalisation schemes approved by the Securities Management Trust, Ltd. r iiiaiu’uii jicwivi djb Leaders of the nation' financial, Industrial and agricultural world uro represented In the tow com panies, but the Bank of England Is the Inspiring force. The ship ping Industry and textiles already have benefited from It and ambit ious plans are being made to help others. One difficulty, however, may arise to curtail progress In this direction. The will to rationalise must be present and exhibited be fore the two agencies will Inter fere. This hazard Is doubly greut when the conservative nature of the British business man Is con sidered and the matter of family preselgo, which may be affected by any rudlcal change, properly dis counted.

COLORADO COAL PRICES LOWEST IN TWENTY YEARS United Mine Workers of America and Non-Union Miners Have Started Great Price War BY WILUAM H. BAILEY (United Press Staff Correspondent) Denver, Colo. Aug 27—A price war unequalled even in the turbu lent history ot the Colorado coal fields appeared emmlnent today. With coal prices In Colorado al ready at a point said to be the lowest in 20 years, non-union op erators were reported preparing to meet the challenge of the United Mine Workers' of America and the Rocky Mountain Fuel company. The latter have declared an unique cooperative agreement to maintain wages at 1928 levels, and to mine and market coal to meet any prices set by the non-union operators of the state. The battle, if it comes, will place the Rocky Mountain Fuel against such po rtlons of the world as are Involved In the Colorado coal fields. Competitive non-union compan ies In the northern field, where the Rocky Mountain Fuel operates Its mines, already have instituted one reduction of from 60 to 75 cents per ton, wholesale price. This re duction came just prior to the an nouncement of 25 per cent mine wage cuts by the Colorado Fuel and iron company, controlled by the Rockefeller Interests, and five oth ers of the state’s largest operators. Ostensibly, there have been no price cuts since that time. Opera tors maintain the wage cuts were made necessary by the low price of coal, extreme competition, and general business conditions. Their price lists, they declare, are the lowest In two decades. It is common practice through out the coal Industry in Colorado, however, to make “special reduc tions" and "discounts" from pub llBy*hnr organisations throughout the state charge the large opera tors with having cut coal prices voluntarily as an excuse for subse quent wage slashes. q Miss Josephine Roche, president of the Rocky Mountain ^1 com pany, in a statement to the United Press, declared her company would meet any price set by the non-union operators. She said this was to “meet the price war by which the non-union operators are attempting to break down the union wage scale.” The statement Indicated her acceptance of the labor viewpoint. Union operators maintain the price cuts were forced upon them. Unbiased neutrals see the price was as a battle between two sides of Industrie 1 thought—with the highly unionized and employe-co nplratlve Rocky Mountain fuel company on one side, and the non union capltallstc system on the other. BISHOP CANNON BANK ACCOUNTS ARE PORED OVER Transfers of Funds From One Record to Another Were Turned Up Yes terday Br THOMAS B. STOKES (United Pres* Correspondent) Washington, Aug 27. (UP)-—In vestigation of Bishop Jamos (.an non's campaign aga net Alfred K Smith in 1928 promised to take a lively turn to-day. Summoned before the Nye sen ate committee were E. C. Jameson, New York capitalist whose »86,*00 contribution to the Virg nla anti Hmtth democratic campaign ntart ed the long-drawn out Inquiry, and Ada L, Burrougha, the Bishop a necretary who defied the committee and refused to testify on her last appearance. The committee anticipated some fireworks as a change from the hearing yesterday, when it pored over a string of bank accounts of the Virginia Dishop. Another hank er also was called to-day, 1. P. Ferguson, of the Hudson bank, Trenton, N. J., he will bo asked about a mysterious account In a Virginia bank which was labeled “file A" by the committee. Jameson has been out of the picture since ho first revealed to the Caraway lobby committee his (83,800 contribution. Miss Burroughs, in a report filed with the clerk of the house of rep resentatives February 11, 1920. noted receipt of only $17,000. Both she and Jameson are ex pected to he asked, about the dlf fersnce and why It was not re ported. A mas* of records whs presented yesterday by bankers from Wash ington, D. C., and several Virginia cities where Bishop Cannon had accounts. It revealed trunsfors of funds from one sort of account to an other, from Cannon’s anti-Hmith campaign fund to his personal ac count, from his personal account to an account In which he appear ed as executor of a Virginia wom an's estate. Chairman Nye of the committee assorted the banking data when put together "purports to reveal not alone the shifting of money from one bank account to another but diversion of campaign money to private accounts."

DIAL 4*3121 All Departmenta DIAL 4-2131 All Departmenta THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1931 To-day’* Primary Whatever conclusions may be drawn from today’a primary contest which, according to all reports, has assumed almost the propor tion! of an election itself, the democratic party in Waterbury is fast getting to a po aition where it is the one and only recourse left to the electorate. That such a condition exists that the taxpayers of the city are con fronted with today is not only a healthful sign for the democratic party itself but the eity as well. Such interest in affairs politi cal as will bring out a primary registration of twenty-five thousand voters is indeed an indication that the public is still concerned the matter of government. True, there are those who decry any idea of a primary contest as undemocratic or re publican whichever the case may be, but that there is such a recourse to the electorate is the greatest boon in American politics. lo those in Waterbury, who look upon a pri mary fight as something unorthodox or un ethical, we have only to point to such larger cities right here in Connecticut as New Haven where the democratic party is en gaged in a pre-primary contest of even greater proportions than the one here to-day. No, a primary contest is no disgrace to any party, but on the contrary a good sign that that party is not stagnant. It shows a real healthful interest on the part of the electorate to sift down public issues and engage in discussion as to the general bene fit derived thereof. So in respect to to-day's primary contest here the Waterbury Demo crat says in all fairness to both sides that if there is anyone with an honest preference for the principles which the opposite candi dates have espoused, go out and register your preference today for him at your designated voting place and in the event of either can didates selection, always remember, the ma jority rules. In this respect the Waterbury Democrat might conclude now before the die is cast that defeat does not exclude a minority from paiticipating in the affairs of government. A anited minority honestly endeavoring to itrive for what it conscientiously thinks is right can do much good for its party and th* community at large. So wc say to the democrats of Waterbury who are going to participate in today's primary contest, go out, use every legitimate effort and means to elect your respective candidate, but to morrow all join forces in one big formidable battalion for the party's candidate for elec tion in October. Is The Senator Wet? From time to time we have been led to believe that Connecticut's entire con gressional delegation was wet in sentiment. Judging by its actions In the past with re gard to various measures before both the House and Senate this stand has been sub stantiated. Certainly when Senator Fred eric C. Walcott of Norfolk denounced pro hibition in a stirring keynote address last fall we imagined that he was a foe of the 18th amendment. We still think he is, de spite the fact that his name is mentioned among those prominent in the list of back ers of the new national dry newspaper that will shortly be issued in Washington. There are but two names from Connecti cut. Senator Walcott's is one and E. Kent Hubbard, president of the Connecticut Manufacturers' association, is the other whose name appears on the letter head of those anxious to start the dry paper. Just at present Senator Walcott is in Wyoming as a member of the senate committee study ing the wild life of the nation. It will be interesting to learn his reactions to the use of bis name in the above connection. It is hard to believe that he would permit its use after the way in which he flayed prohi bition last year. Of course bis remarks occasioned some surprise then inasmuch as he is a warm per sonal friend of President Hoover as well as a staunch supporter of his legislative pro gram. Mr Hoover can hardly be classed as anything but a dry after his attitude to wards the Wickersham commission report this spring. We doubt, though, if a dif ference of opinion on prohibition would split this friendship, although it might eause the junior senator from Connecticut to fail to support the president should he persist in turning aside all efforts to bring the question of repeal or amendment of the prohibition laws before congress. It is a ticklish situation for Senator Walcott, but one that can be readily explained upon his return. He certainly will be quick to do that. Cleaning Up The Gangster* Commissioner Mulrooney of New York hat his hands full if he hopes to clean up the gangsters of his city. But his job is no tougher than that in any big city, where crime is worked on an organized basis. However, the largest city in this nation cer tainly ought to show the way to the others in outlawing such examples ol wanton terror ism as have occurred this summer. When children are shot down in the streets as they play, innocent victims of flying gunmen's bullets it is high time that the authorities took more than the customary action. Iron hand methods are called for. If the police can't adopt them, then let the military of the nation be mustered. Put a pistol or a shotgun, not to mention machine gun, in the hands of a lawless in dividual and hc’a at brave at can be. Alt thete so-called "bad men" are nothing but cowards at heart. They aren't a throw back to the daya of old when men lived by the gun and thought nothing of it. Most of these criminals, whom the moving pictures have glorified to the tenth heaven, are cow ards at heart and flee under fire. Take away their weapons and they would be rat tlesnakes without their fangs ugly look ing but harmless. If the country is going to stamp out this menace it must prevent such men securing unlimited quantities of fire arms, etc. A great deal of this banditry is due, no doubt, to the 18th amendment. It created a huge illicit business in which every person who is under the scrutiny of the law wants a share. And judging by the news reports from all over the country, they are either getting it or killing those who would pre vent it. No gangster killing in the last ten years can be ascribed to anything but rum running. beer rackets, etc. As such it is no wonder that the number of public officials who are attacking the liquor laws is on the increase. Commissioner Mulrooney expressed it as succinctly as anyone in this fashion: "The bootlegger gets his opportunity from the law and his customers from the resent ment against it. Gunmen and gangsters have dedartd war on the government. We will give no quarter. And again Father Coughlan, the fighting pastor from Detroit, says, "If today’s gang sters were jailed the causes that produced them would produce a new batch tomorrow. How true that is. The 18th amendment is the spawning ground for a motley crew. How long will the American public permit it to tear the country asunder? How long are we to permit children and in nocent bystanders to become the target for gangsters' bullets? It is high time that the voice of the people was heard in united pro test. We hope that 1932 will afford an op portunity for this expression of dissatisfac tion. Now, if ever, must there be action. Pipe Lines Natural gas, for many purposes the finest fuel in the world, is just coming into its own. The orgy of waste which for half a century has poured countless billons of units of this gas into the air is almost ended. Tardy appreciation, a hungry market and improved processes for making iron pipe are carrying it from distant fields into popu lous communities. Soon it will be available in almost every section of the United States. The most notable development so far is the completion of the $100,000,000 high pressure line from the Amarillo field of the Texas Panhandle to Chicago, a distance ol 900 miles, with two-foot pipes and an ini tial capacity of 175,000,000 cubic feet a day. forced through by 70,000 horsepower. This Chicago line will soon be doubled in capacity and a branch will extend to Mil waukee and adjacent territory. Similar en terprise is making gas from Kentucky and West Virginia available in eastern Pennsyl vania and New .Jersey, and similar service for New England is in sight. Throughout the Mississippi Valley and the settled regions of the Ear West and South, the same process is under way. The utilization of this formerly wasted resource is another triumph for American industry. It is a blessing to have such a dean, controllable and efficient fuel for cooking, healing and manufacturing. It brings new income to many an expiring oil field. It is not so good, however, for the coal and railroad business. The coal market shrinks as the natural gas market grows. Rail roads lose profitable freight. They may yet be forced into the pipe line business them selves, to carry gas, oil and gasoline, just as they are being forced into the truck business. The recent Wickersham commission re port about the comparative costs of law enforcement in cities of the nation didn't strike a responsive chord in the breasts of many police chiefs. It seemed to ring a discordant note, judging from the remarks we’ve heard and read. However we won der if anybody noticed how little notice has been taken of these committee reports this year. The only one that commanded any attention was the first, dealing with prohibition. Wonder how some of those writers who declare that prohibition isn’t an issue in this nation explain that? And even the prohibition report that the com mission brought in had to be fixed up to suit the president’s taste. And then after it had been amended and published, showing dearly that there was no majority of opin ion in favor of the 18th amendment we are informed that the, "noble experiment is a success and must be supported. Some people don’t even realize it when they are banging their heads against a stone wall. Still and all Waterbury’s pet capita cost to suppress crime wasn’t so bad. New Brit ain with thirty thousand less people than we have paid a per capita cost of $4.09. Ours was only $4.27, which was consid erably lower than the average cost for 300 cities of the nation. However figures don’t mean so much in this instance. It’s what we are going to do in the future to prevent young America growing up with a crime complex. Mayor Balterson had adopted about the most sensible attitude towards the bottles of spring water that were shipped to vari ous mayors around the country by Mayor John C. Porter of Los Angeles. The idea was for this group of city executives to drink a toast in water to the president and TO-DAY’S SELECTED POEM IN THE ORCHARD I By Howard McKinley Corning in The Now York Times) My hillside orchard leans against the sun Whore any laden Autumn I can mark Ited apples where they wear the solar spark, Polished and perfect In the brilliance won.

All of which sounds like fiction to us, but it’s true ac cording to the police of Jamaica and North port, L. I.

Perhaps many readers will recall “For Ginger’s Sake" which ran during February and March. For once truth wasn’t stranger than fiction. Illinois is going in for color harmony in 1932.

TODAY IS THCvf /mmsm WILSON ItEl>LIES TO POPE On August 27, 1817, President Wilson, through Secretary of Btate Ilohert Lansing, answered the peace proposal of Pope Benedict, Indirectly addressing the German people to the effect that no peace was possible with their present "Irresponsible" government. “Wo cannot take the word of the present rulers of Germany as a guarantee of anything that Is to endure unless explicitly supported by such conclusive evidence of the will and purpose of the German people themselves. "We must await some new evi dence of the purposes of the great peoples of the Central Powers. God grant It may he soon and In a way to restore the confidence of all peoples everywhere In the faith of nations and the possibil ity of a covenant of peace." President Wilson's message was acclaimed In France, England, Italy nnd America, and derided In Germany.

THU NKW FASHION <Christian Science Monitor) The new mode In women’s cloth ing. characterised bv naive hlstor v 'L-ii .di i.Lsijk-' -l leal Inaccuracies that with equH nlintty describe a given hat an "Empress Eugenie,” "1880" and "First Empire"—all three, when In fact It Ih not even any one of these —of a HUddon has thrust Itself Inlo Ihe American scene. And women, apathetic to the historical truth of their nttlre, but might l.y concerned with Its looks, are In a great to-do acquiring hata that. Hspire with widely varying success to achieve a saucy downward till over the right eye. Ft ts all very thrilling Indeed— for women. Men, for a considerable part, are engaged in their tradi tional role of ugutn Inveighing fu tllly against this strange tide of new feminine apparel. To them It. ever hns been Inexplicable' that otherwise generally Intelligent croatures should uncomplainingly —nay, even glndsomely—heed tho whims and dictates of couturiers In far-away Paris. For men do not do such things—at least, so hurriedly. Ho far as clothing Is concerned, they adhere tenaciously to tho things that are, resisting lnnlva tlons and regarding with suspicion and dismay those few of their fel lows who have tho courage occa sionally to essay some minor sar torial mutation. If, thus, we examine the three decades since the turn of the cen tury, we find that women’s clothes in that time have undergone per haps a dozen radical and lnsequen tlal revisions, while those of men have followed a very slow, logical evolution: wider and longer trous ers; longer and easier coats; short er and more gentle collars; soft hats to compete with howlers. These changes are slight, and of a magnitude not remotely compar able to those in women's attire; and If the men of 1931 appear con siderably different In appearance from those of 1900, It Is not be cause their garb has been greatly altered, but preponderantly be cause It was In tho intervening pe riod that the safety razor was popularized. In fart, when one considers how rigorously men stick to their steamy coals, and sometimes even vests also, In tho warmest weather the question Is apposite whether men or women ore tho more servile "slaves of fashion"—men to the fixity of their modes, women to the transiency of theirs.

Attention was first called to the ease when Station master McGuire drove Oswald Maxwell, 17, of 1219 Thomaaton avenue, to the water bury hospital. The youth wasac companled by Thomas Murphy, tf of 1420 Thomaston avenue, ana Ltnwood Sears of Fort H1U avenue; Mr McGulr© stated that tne two younger boys had brought Maxwell to the Southbury railway station seeking medical aid. They claimed that he had been mysteriously shot while driving a truck through Southbury, probably by a careless ^Maxwell stuck closely to his story for a long time but continued questioning by State Trooper Rus maII Olson of Beacon Falls and tectlves Cornelius Shannahan final ly brought out the true story.

H. Goc of Hast Morris, where he had 7°»,njor' ly been employed. Driving to Bast Morris they found the store stm open and cruised about the coun try-ride until It had been locked for the night. They then broko In and seized a quantity of food, candles, cigarettes, cigars, chewing gum and aoda. After breaking open the guso llne tank they filled their tank and hastily started away. They were noon on unfamiliar back roads and drove aimlessly until thoy found themselves at Lako Zoar. Houth bury. There they forced their way Into a cottage to spend the night and took a supply of blanket when they left yesterday morning. A short time after thoy had left the like Zoar cottage with Max well operating the truck, they saw two men approaching whom they suspected to be officers and hastily tumsd their truck around to got away. The suspicions of the men who happened to be Deputy Sheriff Brlnley and hi* son. were aroused and they followed the truck. Driv ing back to Lake Zoar the boys unloaded their loot on the porch of a cottage. When the officers were observed In pursuit all of the youths Jumped from the car and fled Into the woods. Both officers discharged their revolvers Into the air and It 1m believed that one of the bullets rlcochetted from a tree or rock the slug passing through Maxwell’s right arm, entering the right side to leave the body near the navel. All the boys succeeded In escap ing from Brlnley, the two youngest ones and Maxwell eventually reach ing tho Southbury railway station and the other departing in another direction. Btuto Trooper Olson, who was In the vicinity, heurd the shots and assisted In finally placing three of the group under arrest.

Fitting The Child For School Career The Thirty-Thousand Connecticut Young Beginners Should Be Started Right, Says State Authority The following Is an address de livered by JJr Jumes L. McCartney, director of the Jlureau of Mental Hygiene, filule Department of Health, over WTIC to-'day: In less than two weeks about 30,000 children In Connecticut will begin school for the first time and much of their future happiness will depend on whether they get the right (part. The law stutes that the child must begin school when he Is six years old but It does not take Into account the fact that although he has lived six years he does not i necessarily have six years of In telligence. This means that If he has an Intelligence above six years he will be impatient with the nec essary routine of the beginner's class and thus fretting, become a definite, nuisance. On the other hand the child may be unfortunate enough to have less than six years of Intelligence and thus be unable to do the work set before him and fall In his efforts. Statistics have shown that from one-third to one-half of the chil dren in the public schools of the IT. S. A. fail to advance with the speed expected of them. In fact, more than 10 per cent of the hun dreds of millions of dollars spent every year In this country for pub lic school Instruction Is used for teaching children what they al ready are supposed to have been taught but which they have failed to learn. It would lie Indeed bet ter if In the, beginning the child was given work suited to his men tal capacity and In which he is more likely to be interested. It Is obvious for the measure ment of anything so complex and multi-dlmcnsloned as the human mind no single test can he given that Is at all reliable. Therefore I the child must be lndivdually con sidered nnd his heredity, his en vironment and a number of differ ent tests may have to be given before a fair estimate of his ability can be reached. Unfortunately, in some school systems this procedure Is seldom carried out and, in the majority of cases, the children are not considered ns individuals but considered ns groups. Although this is the ease, parents may greatly help their children to be happy and successful In school by co-operating with the agencies that are attempting to advance this scientific method of placing the child In school. Parents sometimes feel that it is a dis grace for their child to he exam ined and placed In an ungraded class when'In reality It la the child's opportunity and the parent* ahould be glad that he Is receiving special attention. Sometimes parents do not cre ate a proper attitude In the child to begin school: either by their In difference or the depreciation of the value of education. The little child should start school eager 10 learn, and not simply because he Is sent. Children frequently for the first time come In contact at school with other children and because of this do not know how to get along. Before beginning school children should have, from practical ex perience, the knowledge of the rights of others which can only be gained by association with other children. They should never be given the Idea that they arc too good or not good enough to play with other children for If such Is the case (hey will find It difficult to get along In the democracy of the public school. Any peculiarity In dress, manner or name that marks the child different from the group may cause the child hours of anguish and affect unfavorably hlg school career. Thus the matter of starting the child In school Is something which cannot be undertaken haphazard ly—but from birth the child should be prepared for the time he will enter school, and when that time arrives every advantage possible should he given him to assure a happy and successful school ca reer. The entering of school should not be a crisis. MARRIAGE INTENTIONS John Milton Tteed, cable splicer*. 74 Clreenleaf avenue: Margaret. Mae Clarrigus. occupation, none, Meri den road. James F.

The family welfare department has established a skim milk sta tion at the Ragles’ club on West street. This is for the benefit of the families In the south end district already known to this de partment, and will probably be continued in Its present location until school starts. At that time, It may seem advisable to change its location nearer Park street school, no that the children can come for the milk during their noon hour. This is the second sta tion of Its kind In Bristol; the first one being started through the kindness of E. H. Elton, who con tributed 100 quarts of skim milk. This has been distributed at the family welfare department where the children have come each day for it. It was because of numer ous requests from the south side district for skim milk that a sta tion was started there. The Eagles’ interest In welfare work is appre ciated by the community they serve.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXIX Van Robard stamped about the apartment, frowning. His man came to the door with a ladden tray. "lAit It. down, Ho. and don’t, stand there grinning! I have a beast of a headache. Shake me up a bromo. like a good boy." The oriental vanished. When he brought the fizzing tumbler Robard drank It. gratefully. He pushed the toast away and closed his eyes. "None of that. Take it away, will you? Leave the cof fee. That’s all." He drained the cup and poured nnother. That made him feel bet ter. He even smiled a little wry ly. Good party last night hut his head was paying for It. Robard reached for the pad on 1h# table by tin: telephone, hlteli In his plum-colored dressing gown closer about tils waist. Wind called? Ah, that fool of a debutante he had met last week. Wanted him to call back. Eat ehanrn! He sat. drumming on the table. A eignret made him feel better. He Inhaled grate fully. Funny LIune hadn't called. That note he'd written had been cal culated to tiling her. It had been a hell of a dumb thing to do but he'll taken (he chance. "I'm ill and 1 want to see you before I go. Won't you Just tele phone me?” Ten, he had trusted to her ten der heart. Evidently he'd been wrong. You never knew women even when you thought you'd got them all figured out. Ah he threw his elgaret Into the fireplace the bell tingled. ItObard reached for It. Even that rnBvetneut Jarred his head and he frowned darkly. Ills "hello" wtut little le.-c* than surly, but the tone changed Instantly. "Ves, It’s 1. A wretched cold." Ho roughed. "Doctor's forbidden me to go out and I wondered if you wouldn’t stop In about four. I'm having some people for tea.” There was a pause during which ho coughed again. "I know I've a nerve lo ask you but it'll bn my only chance to say goodby. I’ve been ordered to stay indoors till Saturday. Hee you then? Ah. fine. Voir." There was a smile of triumph on his face as ho put down the telephone. He shaved and pres ently could be heurd singing in his bath. The oriental cleared away the debris of the breakfast Sonnysayings Bjr FANNY T. CORY I’se goin' to get to 'iss fire if it kills me! Qovvrioht by Publlt Ledger things and swept up the littered Krate, bringing fresh logs for the fire. It was a pleasant apartment, high celled, with a gracious, old fashioned air about it. You knew instantly that it had been a drawing room of the spacious eighties. The marble mantleplece told that and the tall, recessed windows now skillfully draped In silk the color of Jude. A man's room and yet a subtle one. Van sang out from the bath room, ‘‘Jto! I want you to get fresla. Heaps of it. And yellow roses. Two dozen. I!uy thou sands of little cakes while, you're about It and better get some gren adine.” He would give thP scene the air of a party. Ills histrionic sense rejoiced in the scheme. The stage was set when, a few minutes after four, the door bell rang softly. Von disposed himself In a big chair, trusting he wore an invalid’s pallor. lie could hear Ito's sibilant greeting to the visi tor nnd In an Instant she ap peared between the curtains. He sprung up, forgetting his role, to greet her. Ida no looked pale and flower like in a black suit, with a little black hat pulled down over her bright hair. She wore a silver fox Hlung across her shoulder. “Don't get up." she Insisted. He said, coughing a little, "You were an angel to come." She glanced around. "Am J the first?" "You are anil that's my good luck. I hadn’t time to ask you all the questions 1 wanted to the other day.” “I thought you'd sailed by this time." Ho looked away. "The date won put over. I managed that." Instantly she was all concern. “What docs the doctor think?" He did not dare to look at her, lest he smile at this. "Oh, I'll he nil right in a day or two. Only, you know, these spring colds are treacherous things.” "1 know.” He made her sit in the chair behind the urn. He took her lur. her gloves. "It poems wonderful to have you here. So natural." She flushed. She turned aside In panic. Was she wrong to have come? Where were the others of them he had spoken? She looked t the dozen cups, the heaps of ukes and was reassured. Hohard came and sat beside ter, looking deep into her eyes. D’you knoyv I've nevor stopped oving you?” She sprang tip, affronted. "You nustn’t begin that all over gain.” “Why not?" His tone had the Id caressing note In it. "f don't like It." She put a ulet dignity Into the words. She ried with all her heart to mean hem.

He began again softly, “You don't love Clive. I can see that. You belong to me, really, and al ways will." "You mustn't—I forbid you to say these things to me." She faced him, eyeB blazing. He laughed a little to see her so. "All right, I won’t soy It. But see here!” In a lightning flash he had her in his armt, his mouth deep on hers. "There!" He let her go. "Now can you say you don't love me?" She dropped, shaken, Into a chair. She moaned, "I shouldn’t have come. You lied to me?" "Of course, I did. I never should have seen you alone other wise.*’ She put her shaking hand to her lips. They felt bruised. "You think I'm cheap. Easy! You have a llnp, they say. You think It will work with me, too!" He set his jaw. "That's not so, and you know It. I wanted you for my wife but you wouldn't wait for me.” "Wouldn’t wait!” It was her turn to laugh now. "That Is funny.” "It isn't too late even now," he cried, pressing his advantage. "Como away with me next week and Clive will he glurl enough to give you a divorce. Unless,” he was watching her face shrewdly, "unless it’s an annulment you want.” The telltale color In her face made him realize he had guessed her secret. "I hate you,” she moaned. "Hive me my things. I'm going." He barred the door. "Not like this, you can't.” lie was on his knees beside her. Ho put his big handkerchief Into her hands. "Don’t cry, little love," he wheedled. "I'm sorry. I am a million kinds of a fool. But. I love you. so!" Weakly she wept, her head on this man's shoulder. The flro blazed up and the room darkened. She stood up, struggling for com posure. "It's too late for you to talk like that to me or for me to lis ten," she, told him. She sought her vanity box and repaired the ravages left by tears. "I shan't see you again, then?" the man asked. She shook her head. "I’m sailing on the Conte Rosso Tuesday. If you change your mind come to me.” "My mind’s made up. This Js good by." He put his hand out to touch hers but again her nearness and sweetness were too much for hint. He kissed her once and once again. Kite stumbled and would have fallen had he not caught her. lie's voice was heard In the hall. Neither of them had noticed the sound of the bell. Dane drew on her gloves and with the as tonishing quickness of her sex was quite composed when the ser vant entered. She gasped at the name he gave and turned. Clive was saying, "I’ve come for my wife.” "I want to explain," Liana be gan haltingly. The door was shut behind them. Van. debonair and at ease, waved his hand at the tea table and said nonchalantly, “Stop a bit. The others will be along pres ently.” This Cllvo chose to ignore. He said briefly and coldly to his wife, "D'you mind If I hurry you a little? We're dining with the Williams’ to-night, you remem ber." If he noticed her flushed cheeks and embarrassment he gave no sign. Later when they were In the car riding homeward she said again, "I must explain He Interruped. "You don't need to. 1 found his note on the floor when I cumo In. Thought I’d pick you up. That’s all." Ills tone forbade further confidences.

Dane's brain wus whirling. What sort of woman was she anyway? She had gone to Van’s apartment openly. She must have known what was ubout to hap pen. She had promised loyally to this man at. her side, the man whose name she bore. Painfully she cried, "Rut I must! I am ashamed!” Cllvo turned to glance at her. His eyes gleamed In the shifting shadow of the moving motor like blue Ice. "He was making love to you. That was It?" he asked In in harsh voice. she began softly to sob. "Don’t d o that! I can't bciW It.” He put a hand on her arm. "You're Just a child. All tills was a mistake. You’re not a 1 v to cope with the harsh realities of life." sne iiiiHiirii inn tears worn tier ryes. This wan no far from what Mho hail expected that surprise held her for a moment. "I'm not so young,” she pro tested. "I—oh, I hate to say this, to hurt you, hut. I can’t stop car ing for him." Her eyes Implored him to understand. He frowned. He Hpokc almost as If to himself. "I’ve tried to protect you from this. Perhaps I've been too slow, too simple. PerhapH I should have warned you earlier. But you must lie portected from Van. It—oh, It’s Impossible! Kven If you were free.” The last stung her. "Why?” “Don't ask me.

This man does belong to a golf club, he can afford a trip, and he has not a nagging wife. 1 asked thia paragon of fathers what he was doing to get ac quainted with his offspring. He replied, “Oh, you know me. I'm not very systematic and I never map out anything ahead of time. We do jvhat we like—sometimes all four of us when Jane can go along (his wife), but mostly Just Ted and Jo and 1. (Ted Is the boy and Jo the girl.) llttireatlon Is Varied “We're having a great time,” he admitted enthusiastically. “We go to the zoo and wo took a long postponed trip on a river boat and (1 never told Jane this), wo had a fll'toon-mlnute ulrplano trip and we have gone through two big mills. One day I said, ‘You kids pick the place,” and they landed me In a pool with about ten thou sand people in it. I hate water, but I paddled right along and by Jove I never saw those kids have such a good time in my life.” “tlo on,” I said, hunting for my notebook. “Well "he scratched his head, "one day we filled up the ear with ‘chums’ you know, 'sums,' and went rock-hunting. Of all things, rock-hunting, somo geology class or other, and say, I got more exer cise and more knowledge than I’ve had for a dozen ami a half years.

CLUNEY Putting Is Just What It Takes To Make A Goodly Golfer Great The difference between good golf and great golf was most point edly exhibited yesterday afternoon at Tumble Brook by Billy Burke. U. S. national open champion, and, right now, the kingpin of them all. After playing 36 holes in the rain on Tuesday, Bill showed up at the Hartford Club with his partner, Georg* Von Elm, and put on a show that sent the gallery into spasms of delight throughout eighteen holes of marvelous play. One eagle, eight birdies and seven pars was Burke’s contribution to a course-record smashing 64 that was built up smoothly and carefully with Burke's putter putting him five under par for the first six holes. Two years ago, about the time Walter Hagen went bad, Burke's putting was keeping him out of battles for golf titles all over the country. Today and since that marathon at Inverness, he's Open champion. Why? Because he had fortitude enough to stick to his golf game until he acquired what he knew he needed most—a putting "touch”. In the Ryder cup qualifying round and ensuing matches, he showed it, at Inverness he proved it, and yes terday it was in high gear again, and you would have agreed had you seen him sink a 1 5 footer from a side-green lie for an eagle 3 on the par 5 third at Tumble Brook. Physically tired from daily play, 18 and 36 holes at a time, in addition to hops between exhibition points, Burke still had enough left to put on one of his greatest showings since the title event at Toledo, besting his partner, Vori Elm’s score by ten strokes. Two More Yean, Then Manager's Job Is Ruth's Ambition For Future By GEORGE KIRKSEY (Unltnd Prw Stair Correspondent) Chicago, Aug 27—(UP)—Babe Ruth, who revolution ized baseball with his home-run hitting, nurses an ambition to take a second-division ball club and rebuild it into a pennant-winner. Clad in purple silk pajamas and smoking a pipe, Ruth sat in his hotel suite and told about his future aspirations. "I give myself just two more years as a regular player," he said, and then I'll be ready to retire looking for a manager's Job. By the end of the 1938 season I will have played 20 years in the majors and then I'll be ready to retire from active duty." “Do you think you have the right temperament for a mana ger?” Ruth was asked. Hm Big Ideas. “Well, the only way to settle that Is for me ot get a chance as a manager. I have a lot of Ideas about running a club and I’d like to try them out. I'd take any major league manager's job. It makes no difference whether It was a last place club or a first division out fit. If I took a ready made team I wouldn’t get as much credit as I would If I built up a winner my self.” Past 37 and playing his 18th season in the American league, Ruth continues to hold his tremen dous appeal to the baseball public as the series just ended between the Chicago 'White Sox and Yan kees proves. The White Box. a sad second division club, played to 143.000 in four days and Babe Ruth was the principal drawing card. Still Hits ’Em. Some critics believe Ruth has slowed up considerably In the out field the past year, but none can dispute his ability to continue to hit anw and all kinds ot pitching. He is leading both major leagues in home runs with 37 and Is sec ond only to A1 Simmons in bat ting. Ruth's popularity and his bat ting are going to come up tor a lot of discussion this winter when Babe asks for his 1932 contract. His present 2-year contract at 880.000 per annum expires this season. "Do you expect to get $80,000 next year?” "I don’t see why not,” he re plied. "I’m having one of my best years.” Recreation League Organize Pinmen Thursday evening at 8 o'clock the advisory committee of the Recreation league will convene at the Orand bowling alleys.

Wuh, Auk 27.—(UP)— Ten thousand Seattle light fans who watched Jack Dempsey punch three sparring partners diszy with IS ounce gloves were convinced to-day that the old “Manassa Mauler" Is a good entertainer and a powerful hitter to say the least. In exhibition matches, Dempsey fought two full rounds last night with Benny Lenhart of Portland, Ore, then boxed a round each with Bob Frazer and Red Tlngley. Let Go Occasionally. In all three matches, the former champion held his punches except occasionally when he forgot. On those occasions it was just too bad for the sparring partners. 6oth Lenhart and Tlngley went down for nine counts and frazcr was groggy when his round ended. It was In the Tlngley bout that Dempsey put on his best show. The referee had reached nine when Jack picked Tlngley up and stood him on his feet. Then while Tlngley blazed away at him with both fists, Dempsey weaved and dodged and didn’t take a blow, managing meanwhile to keep Tlng ley upright and swinging. Dempsey weighed 198 and ap peared fresh when he left the ring.

Senators Still Lead McCarthy Crew In Race For Second Place OIL AND HORSES DON’T MIX, EITHER By DAM PAMJ HARRY SINCLAIR, the big crude oil man from Teapot Dome, -will devote all hie time to improving the quality ot gasoline hereafter and let the other guys attend to Improving the breed of thoroughbreds. Like oil and water, oil and horses don't mix. The gas buggy spelled doom for the horse long ago but Mr Sinclair continued to play around with the ponies as a hobby while reading reports on all his gushera It was a profitable hobby while the old wizard of the turf, Sam Hildreth, was training his Stable. But after Hildreth had passed on, the same horses that won for him would not win for his successor. Prank Taylor. Pretty soon Mr Sinclair’s hobby was costing him $150,000 per annum, which are expensive hobby horses even in the oil well league. The cost of keeping up a breeding farm like Sinclair owns at- Jobstown. N, J., Is tremendous and when the purses began to dwindle, the big oil king’s Interest In thoroughbred racing declined proportionately. Sinclair was In no mood, therefore, to accept gracefully the decision of the Saratoga stewards, barring his horses from overnight events at the Spa, He brought a high-powered lawyer up to Saratoga to fight the case but the stewards turned down his appeal. Considering this a personal affront, he decided to quit racing and dispose of his stable. Sinclair never was very popular with the powers-that be In racing. He was ruled off the Maryland turf after being convicted In the oil scandal, but was quickly reinstated when the other stable owners rallied to his defense, pointing out that what Sinclair did in the Held of oil and politics (which, of course, are Inseparable) had nothing to do with his desirability as a racing-stable owner. With that $150,000 annual racing deficit crossed off the books, Harry should be able to cut the price of gaaolihe now. SOME TIME BACK, the New Tork State Athletic Commission an nounced that as far as it was concerned, no such championship as the junior welterweight title existed. The trick divlston was created by the Illinois Boxing Commission one day several years ago when the silly solons met and found there was no other business to transact. No one ever has taken the thing seriously. When Jackie Berg won the crown, ever the British Boxing Federation refused to recognize It. Still, in the past few weks, two junior welterweight champions have defended the phantom title. Jackie Kid Berg was advertised as defending the tinfoil crown at the Queensboro a few weeks back and Tony Canzonerl was billed to risk it in Bayonne last night. Tony and Jackie fought some time ago for the lightwegiht title and this bout was advertised as a dou ble-barrelled championship affair with the junior welterweight crown at stake, too. Tony won by a knockout, and if there is any such thing as a junior welterweight title, he holds it. And if Tony holds it, the best thing for him to do is go to the nearest sewer manhole and drop it in. Ham Fisher, creator of Joo Palooka, will be met by a squad of policemen when he steps off the train in Bridgeport Saturday afternoon. Far from having a warrant for Ham, they have been delegated to act as an escort of honor for the best-groomed and handsomest cartoonist ever to come out of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., the Bridgeport Post having cooked np a celebration in his honor. A good egg, this Ham. PETE KARMIENTO, the Filipino featherweight, has Just quit the prize ring to enter the restaurant business. Pete will enter by the back door as his post will bo that of dish-washer. A few years back Pete could have bought a hundred restaurants like the one In which he now begins his career as a crockery manicurist. His ring earnings were In excess of $300,000. Even If Pete had good eyesight, he wouldn't be able to And a nickel of that fortune left In his pockets now. But Pete even hasn’t good eyesight- The only things ho has to show for his ring career are one blind eye and a battered face. AU those Filipino fighters seem to wind up the same way. They have no conception of the value of money and when It Is coming In fast they toss It away recklessly. Flashy clothes, diamond rings and other articles of personal adornment are their particular weaknesses. The late Panclio Villa bought hundreds of bright-colored silk shirts and more suits that his whole tribe back in the hills of his native land could wear. Hie gaming table gets what the haberdasher doesn’t (both of these avenues of exit taking only what the manager leaves, of course). Sarmlento in particular was a sucker for the gam bling gents, who, however, probably will chuck him a dime tip whenever they eat In bis restaurant. Gamblers are soft hearted that way. There's no moral to this story except that it’s an evil day when a Filipino takes up boxing. The game of fisticuffs seems to be one of the niceties of civilization that the little yellow men are not yet auffl clently advanced in the social Beale to be able to Indulge In with Im punity. They either fight until they drop dead in the ring or until th^’re dead broke and punch-drunk. _ (Copyright, mi, King Features Syndicate) EASTERN LEAGUE. Standing: W. L.

JIMMY M’LARNIN ALWAYS AIDED BY SHREWD MATCHING BY DIXON STEWART United Frees Staff Correspondent Although boxing fane in general accept Jimmy McLarnin as the best of the present day welter weights and one of the best men of his weight in ring history, mem bers of the ring fraternity—fight ers, managers and boxing writers —are not convinced of the Van couver boy's right to high rank ing. A Keen Manager. Undoubtedly the baby-faced Jimmy is an excellent boxer and a deadly hitter, but a study of his record proves that he has been aided greatly by the matchmaking ability of his shrewd old manager, "Pop” Foster. Foster has seen to it that Jimmy has had the best of it in practi cally all of his fights and has the reputation of being the hardest man in boxing with whom to do business. Either Foster insists upon selecting the opponent, or he will dictate the weights, purses or distance of the contest. Here's the story. Peculiarly enough, McLarnln has fought few outstanding stars on even terms and he has not been especially successful In such con tests. When he met Sammy Man dell for the lightweight title, with no weight advantage in his favor, Jimmy took an artistic lacing. He later defeated Mandell twice, but In each bout had a wide pull in the weights. He barely outscram bled Jack Thompson, present wel terweight title-holder, when they met at even weights a year ago, and many spectators believed Thompson was entitled to the de cision. In his bouts with Bud Taylor, Jackie Fields, Fidel LaBarba and A1 Singer, McLarnln alyso either had the advantage in weight, or forced hiu opponents to come in at weights which sapped their stamina. A Recent Example. A recent example of the Foster McLarnln insistence of having the advantage over rivals was pro vided by Jimmy's bouts with Billy Petrolic. When the men first met, Petrolle handed McLarnln a sound drubbing. When a return match was broached, McLarnln not only demanded the lion’s share of gate receipts but Insisted upon being allowed to come in at catch weights. With McLarnln winning the seoond match, a "rubber” contest over a longer route became a na tural. Petrolle was willing and ac cepted terms without dispute. Fos ter, however, refused to entertain suggestions of a 16-round bout on the plea that Jimmy was "Just a b6y,” and again demanded the biggest share of gate receplts and a weight advantage. The bout was staged, v 14(-pound McLarnln scot delve victory over the Petrolle, but until Jlmn ranking contenders of 1. weight, and when fighting them on even terms, boxing men will refuse to accept him as worthy of rating with the super stars of the game. _ FOOTBALL COACH TO TEACH St Paul, Minn, Aug *7— (UP)— Heartley (Hunk) Anderson, se nior football coach at Notre Dame, will be on the staff at the St Thomas coaching school, Joe Bo und, St Thomas athletic director, announced. he 1 A tvn RING GOSSIP By BILL RIGGINS LEONARD'S COMEBACK Interesting Indeed la the an nouncement that Benny Leonard, former lightweight champion, will return to the wars In a bout with Tommy Freeman. erstwhile weler welght leader, at the New York Oarden on September 17. Ring followers will be pulling for Benny, 'who was one of the greatest light weight champions. He'll need it, despite hia clean living and once miraculous lighting form. The feat he has now set for himself has never been performed before. Leonard quit lighting six years ago- He is now 35 and has led a life of comparative ease in re tirement. Rust inevitably gathers on the finest fighting armour long discarded. Jeffries, by interesting coincident, was exactly Benny's age and re tired the same number of years when the lure of gold brought him back to fight Jack Johnson. You know the sad result. A youthful champion. Jack Dempsey, Idled three years and then met Oene Tunney. You know that one, too. The incomparable Jimmy Wilde waited two years at 31. He found himself worse than a fistic cipher before Pancho Villa. Those are a few. There are more such doleful epitaphs in Fistiana’s Comeback Graveyard. It’s not a happy hunting ground and we’d hate to read of Leonard there. JUST HERE AND THERE Tony Faolillo, who still enjoys the title of New Haven's best fight matchmaker, despite his absence from things fistic In the Him City for several years, has once again hung up his coat and cap in the matchmakers office at the New Haven Arena and Is Just at present busying himself on his first show since his Kim City comeback....

To-dav’s Snorts Parade By HENRY McLEMORE (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York. Aug 27—(UP)—Con nie Mack and his Philadelphia Athletics have placed the other seven clubs ot the American league In a most embarrassing situation. Indeed. With the As so far out In front they might Just as well he playing In another league, Washington, New York, Cleveland, etc, must ad mit one or two things: (1) that they are a pretty sorry bunch of ball players and Incapable of of fering first-class opposition, or (2) that the Athletics are one of, If not the best team, baseball has seen In a long, long while. In a Class by Themselves Personally, we believe Item No. 2 comes nearer to being the truth. If ability to rise above all manner of handicaps is any criterion of greatness, then the 1931 Athletics certainly are one of the finest teams of all time. You will have to pore over the record books un til you are weary before finding a club that suffered more misfor tune than have the Mackmen of ■31. And by misfortune we mean injuries of all sorts, and sickness. The Macks, unless our statisti cal department Is up to some mis chief, haven’t been able to 'put their full strength on the field for more than one-fourth of their games. Yet no matter the com bination Manager Mack sends out on the field, his team continues to win with monotonous regularity. This ability to win with one, two, three, and sometimes four regulars out of the line-up, cannot bo at tributed solely to the magnificent pitching of Grove and his boy friends. For no pitcher, no mat ter how great, Is going to win if his mates play shoddily afield and pAfuAA to Hcoro runB. On tlie Kick IJst Jimmy Foxx, Mugging first bane man, wan the first player to drop out of the line-up. That was back In April. Soon after that Mickey Cochrane wee Injured. Then came Jimmy Dkyes. And after Dyke* the deluge. The little third baseman wan followed by McNair and Wil liam*. utility lnfleldcre, Cramer, utility outfielder, Mule-Haas, Joe Boley and A1 Simmon*.

New York, Aug 27—The fight between Tony Cansonerl of New York and Herman Perltck of Kala masoo, scheduled for Bayonne. N. J.. last night, was put over until to night because of threatening weather. BY JEROME H. (DIZZY) DEAN B By JEROME H. (DIZZY) DEAN (Copyright 1931 NEA Service, Inc) In an exhibition game during the spring training period I beat Cin cinnati 5-4 when I relieved another pitcher in the fltth inning. The big leaguers looked easy. Then I beat the Phillies Just as easy. After these wins I was sure of sticking. We worked our way up north and played the Browns in the city series. I pitched one of these games and got beat. The change from the balmy Florida climate to the severe St Louis weather affected my control- Besides, Adams made a couple of errors. Misses Opening Day Shot Then came the opening of the season. I figured I should get the opening day shot but Street called on Flint Rhem. Rhem won hands down. After that, every day I had hero to-day. will arrive Sunday morning. Fitch me Sunday after noon and it’a a cinch I'll win. Dizzy Decfn." That went over big with the Houston sports scribes. They plas tered it all over the papers and when I step oft the train I see headlines about Dizzy Dean prom ising a victory and all that. This made me forget St Louis. Anyway, the Texas league Is Just as fast as the big league. Pitches Shutout In Opener That Sunday I went into the box. Wichita Falls, a hard-hitting bunch, were our opponents. They tried to razz me about getting sent back to the minors. I walked over to the bench and declared myself to ’em. “Llssen, you birds! Just for that you get only three hits. I'm gonna hopes of getting in there, but! didn’t. The Card pitchers were noticing in the papers as how the Houston pitching staff was wobbling. They were all kidding back and forth about who would go down there, but no one mentioned me. One day Gabby, who seldom spoke to me at that time, said for me to report to the office. I fig ured it was just another fine or a lecture or sermon or something which I was used to by that time. I got there and Mr Rickey was there- He hands me a telegram. It roads: "Mr Fred Ankenman, Houston Baseball Club. (I’ald) Dizzy Dean will Join your club immediately." It took me a couple of minutes to get this. I was sure stunned. Another setback, and I knew It was all unfair because I knew I was a groat pitcher. “That mean I go back to Hous ton?” I asked. shut you out and fan 12 of you." When the game was over, we had won 2 to 0 and I gave ’em three hits. No one reached second and I fanned 11. As I passed the Wichita Falls players after the game I shouted: "Now maybe you little country boys will keep your traps shut." It was Just a breeze from then on. My next two games were shut outs. Then*i win one more hands down. We breeze Into Dallas and I’m set to pitch the Sunday game. It’s Just a breeze until the 9th. You've probably read about me and Alt Todd having a fight— rather he bad the scrap, Bincn I never had a chance to do any fight ing. That row has been explained In a lot of ways, but here Is my version of It and I guess I ought to know. I’m the one who got socked on the Jaw.
