The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-12

The lead in the somewhat spirit ed voting this year was held by young Paul Derringer, Cardinals pitcher who twice failed Manager Charles Gabby Street.
 Street gambled on Derringer and his kid pitcher lost to Lefty Grove in the first game.
 Two Bad Ones
 Street believed the series baptism had hardened Derringer so he tried him again against Grove. Where Derringer was touched for II hits in seven innings of the first game he walked himself out of victory in his second chance.
 Some eastern delegates voted for Chick Hafey. Cardinals left fielder who was good enough to win the National league batting champion ship bu twho managed to get only four hits in the six series games he played. Also, Hafey made one error which let in two rruns in the sixth game.
 Mountainous George Earnshaw Athletics hurler. gained some sup port for his two pitching failures. He did have one victory in which he allowed only two hits, so he was eliminated as a candidate for goat.
 Mickey Cochrane, popular Ath- letic catcher who hit .34S in the season and only .16O in the series was a long distance away from having been the star. Max Bishop Athletics second baseman and lead off hitter who made an average of only .14S, and Catcher Jimmy Wilson of the Cards who threw the wrong way in the second game also were considered.
 All by Themselves
 one may be sure most votes will go to Derringer and Hafey as per sistently as Alabama cast for Un- derwood.
 The star selection was easy, John Leonard CPepper) Martin.
 Martins failure to hit in the sixth and seventh games were per fectly natural. He had been bat ting far above his head. But Pep per more than any one man won that series, so he's basebalrs man of the year.

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Oct 12-(UP)-Being nothing more important than twen- ty reasons why I do and don't want to see that flight of the century" between Jack Sharkey and Primo Camera at Ebbets field, Brooklyn. tonight.
 Why I want to see the thing: l. Because I want to see some body knock Sharkey out in seat 5. row B. of the bleachers.
 2. Because I want to see some- body knock Camera even farther.
 8. Because I want to satisfy my self that neither has grown any worse since his last fight, a thing which I doubt is humanly possible.
 4. Because I want to see in per son, if either has improved since his last start. a thing I doubt with even stronger conviction.
 5. Because I want to see Shar- key weave hooked rug and make watermelon rind preserves while in the ring. These two feats, you know, are the only things the Bos- ton sailor hasn't accomplished in- side those ropes.
 6. Because I want to see if all those rumors about the thing not being on the level are on the level themselves.
 2. Because I want to see what happens to that liver l bet on Camera.
 Woof: Wool!
 8. Because I want to feel that indescribable thrill that grabs your heart and lifts you out of your seat during those few moments when the principals of an import ant heavyweight fight stand in their corner awaiting the first bell.
 g. Because want to see what happens when Camera catches a real smack either on his chin or down below.
 10. Because I have nowhere else to go tonight.
 Why I don't want to see the thing:
 l. Because I would be improv- ing my intellect more by sitting in my favorite chair and snapping my garters.
 2. Because when these two question marks (you might even call them the Migmas in the firstic woodpile) meet they probably will produce nothing but a mess of asterrisks.
 3. Because I am unable to stand off and contemplate Car nera's gums and feet without wish ing there was no means of trans- portation between Italy and Amer ica.
 4. Because Carneras Is known us the Ambling Alp, the vast venetian. the tall pine of the Pyrenees. the varicose ventian, and the Gargan- tuan Italian.
 Help! Police!
 5. Because 1t is impossible to get into Ebbets field for big fight without being hit on the head half a dozen times by policeman's billy, swung by policeman.
 6. Because Sharkey has in;i- mated he is none too eager for this bout. Having seen Sharkey look dreadful even in fights he was keen about, I'm afraid of what he'll show if he isn't interested. or rather of what he won't
 2. Because I think 1t will be a fight.
 8. Because think 1t will be a slow, dull fight.
 g. Because think it will be q fight. 10. Because think 1t will be even worse than that.
 That's all. I'll be a-seeing of you at Ebbets field tonight.

Her loyalty to her family brought about the engagement. Sam has managed the family affairs since her stepfather, Fourth Aldcrsea, lcot their mon ey. Even her work cn the EX- press, which Abbott owns, dces not give her financial secur- ity. Besides Abbott's wealth, an advantage in the engagcm snt i3 that it's announcement sub merged the scncation of Sam'5 half -brother's marriage to their maid. Nelson, the half brother, tock away with him some house hold money, and this adds to FCurth's anger at the social disgrace. Freddy Munson had expected to marry Sam, be- fcre Nelscn's action. Freddy comes to the Express, where he formerly worked, and charges Peak Abbott with committing a crime-"the worst sort of crime"

ous than they were before?"
 Perhaps not, but at least she wouldn't be tied to someone she doesn't love"
 Peak glanced at Freddy Could you help her financially, Munson?
 You know I couldn't Freddy snorted Whats the Sense to that remark?"
 I'm just wondering" replied Peak slowly, what is best for Sam. Would she be happier married to you and as poor if not poorer than ever, or would it be better if she had me, whom she might not love but who could give her every material comfort?" He nodded. T think that there is a problem that requires consideration" Freddy choked. Why, you"
 No scene, please;' begged Peak earnestly. I'm talking sense, anc If you're wise, you'll listen"
 All right" Freddy controlled himself with an effort. I'll listen Good. Then you can believe il or not, Munson, but the fact re- mains that I'm thinking only o1 Sam. To be frank with you, Tn not at all convinced that in tht long run she'd be happier with you than with me"
 All right, then" said Fredd, fiercely, leave me out of it alto gether! I'm willing to get out O here and never come back, if you in your turn, are willing to le Sam go."
 If we both left her, she wouldn' have one thing or the other-com fort or romance"
 Then what shall we do?" Fredd inquired sarcastically. Shall W flip a coin to see who gets her?
 Tt seems to me-" said Pea gently, that we've forgotten on

love her and want her, too, Mum son, so that's one point on which we both think alike
 They were silent for time, look ing at each other. Then Peak said
 Well, let's hear the story"
 What story?"
 Yours and Sam's. I don't know any of the details, remember, and If we're to get anywhere in this discussion, I'll have to know them.
 Freddy told the story. He told it briefly but with such simple con- viction that Peak could not helr but believe. In the end Freddy shock his head And so you see Abbott, if that confounded step- brother of hers hadn't butted in she'd be married to me, now, and there wouldn't be any need of all this" IK1AI
 Peak nodded thoughtfully. But the confounded step-brother did but in, Munson."
 Freddy made a gesture of despair That's just what I've been trying to tell youl"
 Peak shrugged and was silent for so long that at last Freddy's impa- tience got the better of him. Well, he demanded sharply, what are you going to do?"
 "Do?" Peak looked up inquiring- ly. What do you suggest that ] do?"
 Tell Sam that you know all about everything. Give her chance to get herself out of this mess
 Peak frowned. You must remem- Der, Munson, that Sam got her self into what you call this mess entirely of her own free will"
 Free will?" Freddy repeated She was forced into it because she needed money so badly"
 Peak tapped the top of his desk. Suppose let her go as you sug- gest," he said softly. Would her financial problems be any less seri-

Peak half rose to his feet. Look here, you"
 No heroics, please" Freddy tapped on the top of the desk with his knuckles. If you don't mind we won't have any fireworks. I did not come here to insult you. ] came here to talk sense, and if you're wise you'll listen"
 All right, I'll listen" Peak nod ded calmly You've already said that"
 What I've already said is nc news to you You knew all about il when you went into this thing, and can't say I blame you for youl attitude. People have married fol money before, and one or two o. them have gotten away with it This case, however, is different.
 Why is it different"
 That's the point" Freddy nod ded We're getting down to fact now, and we're getting down t. things that you didn't know be fore. You know that Sam isn't il love with you, but you don't knoy that she is in love with somebod, else. Am I right?"
 Peak sat quite still. In the en- he nodded in a detached manner You're right. With whom is Sar in love?"
 with me-" Freddy lifted warn ing hand. NOW let's not have an scene. I'm just telling you tn truth"
 ssNo scene.' Peak brushed tn suggestion aside impatiently "Yo say that Sam is in love with vol and I suppose I can assume tha you are in love with her" < You can" Freddy nodded. I'll a fool, I suppose, but I can't hel it. I love her and want her
