Dollar Day with it's countless op- portunities to realize substantial savings on the purchase of per- sonal or household necessities. will be observed in Waterbury next Thursday.

BROOKLYN TEAM
FIGHTING HARD
FOR TOP SPOT

NEW YORK, Aug. Is. W.P)-The
Brooklyn Robins, boasting 10 vic
tories in their last "a games, began
their final swing of the National
League circuit today with their pen
nant chances at stake.
The Robins were a poor seventh
three weeks ago and counted out of
the running but were only two
games behind the pace-setting Chi
cago Cubs as they opened their
tour at Pittsburgh. They are only
a game ana half behind the sec
ond place Pirates.
Noted as a poor road club, the
Dodgers set out from New York last
night in high spirits even though
they lost the second game of a
doubleheader to the Giants to 4
after they had won the opener, 2 to
! to stretch their winning streak to
six contests.
A home run by Pinch Hitter
Johnny Frederick with two men
out in the ninth inning enabled
Brooklyn to tie the score in the
ninth inning of the first game and
they won out in the 10th on a dou-
BILE by Wilson and Cuccinello's sin
gle.
Even though they split even, the
Robins picked up full game on
the Cubs who dropped a double
header to the Cardinals. The Cards
won the first game 2 to 0 behind
the seven hit pitching of Tex Carl
ton and took the second game 2
to ! in 10 innings. Orsatti's single
scored Colbert with the winning
tally and gave Dizzy Dean victory
in great pitching battle with Guy
Bush.
The Boston Braves slipped to
fifth place in the standing when
they dropped both ends of twin
bill to Cincinnati. The Reds won
the first game to l as Red Lucas
allowed the Braves only seven hits
and took the nightcap 9 to 8.

idle.
Vernon Gomez, star southpaw,
became the first major league pitch
to win 20 games this season when
he hurled the New York Yankees
to to victory over Washington.

To Meet
Mack And Mack

The Valley Laundry nine has the
one and only chance to knock the
Macks out of their league lead
when the two teams meet tonight
in the first game of the last week
of the Ell Centre night ball league
schedule.
Mack fans will see their team
play again but tonight will be the
laundry teams last performance of
the season. The clothes massagers
have won only one game in the
last eight and therefore are not
conceded much chance to stop the
league leaders. If moral support
means anything the Macks may be
upset.
Studebaker, Cramer and Golden
State players will all be on the side
lines cheering the laundry's efforts
since all three teams will go into
tie with the Macks should that
team lose.
The 10 leading leading batters
are: Lee, 442; T. Ehmke, All; Post
389; P. House, 1878; Hamilton, 372;
Brown. 365; F. Smith, 358; Jep-
way, 357; A. Daniels, 354; Patter-
son, 354.

CHICAGO CUBS GIVING FINE
EXHIBITION OF TEAM PLAY

the top after trailing Pittsburgh by
six games not SO long ago.
How well the Cubs flourish on
misfortune is borne out by Com
missioner Lands first investigation
into their conduct at Pittsburgh
last Thursday. Lands picked the
day they were to battle Pittsburgh
for the lead to question Manager
Grimm and other players. The in
quiry over, the Cubs went to Forbes
field and beat the Pirates, 80, in
10 innings and moved into first
place by half a game.
Two days later Lands paid the
Cubs another call in st. Louis. He
investigated them for two hours
and improved their morale to such
an extent that they handed the
world champion Cardinals 81 de-
feat and increased their lead to l u
games.
Lands wasn't around Sunday and
there was nothing else to bother
them so they dropped a double
header TO the Cards, but held their
lead because the Pirates were idle.
Further evidence that the Cubs
are no orthodox ball club is sup
piled by the averages:
They lead the league but are fifth
in the team batting and team field
ing.
Players Mediocre
They have only three 800 hitters
Stephenson, Moore and Herman.
They have only three pitchers
who have won more than half
their games-Warneke, Bush and
Root.
What kind of team is this that
can get itself into such jams,
change managers suddenly, lose
star players for extended periods,
have the breath of scandal blown
its way and still stay in the pen
nant race?
That's what a lot of folks would
like to know, so 1 asked Bill Veeck
who replied:
Its the kind of ball club that's
going to win the pennant."
So I asked Charley Grimm, too,
and he said:
Its the kind that doesn't know
when it's licked just like the fight
er who gets knocked down and
keeps getting up until he wins"

CHICAGO, Aug. Is. - The Chi
cago Cubs, pace-setters in the Ma
tional League pennant race, thrive
on handicaps, misfortunes and in
vestigations.
Their battle through two-thirds
of the campaign has been tale OF
woe packed with everything from
broken bones to shattered romance
which put two bullets in the star
shortstop's anatomy.
The Cubs team is far from g
great baseball machine but if a few
more obstacles were placed in theil
path they are apt to wind up ir
the world series When things &c
wrong the Cubs get right and here
are some exhibits to prove it:
Woody English, third basemar
who is considered by many the
teams outstanding player, out 8
weeks with a broken finger.
Kiki Cuyler, outtielder and key
man in the teams attack, out six
weeks with a broken bone in his
foot. =
Bill Jurges, shortstop who is
rated one of the leagues best de-
fensive players, shot twice by his
Tilted sweetheart, out two weeks
and then threatened by blackmail
when he returned to the lineup.
Rollie Hemsley. catcher, arrested
for disturbing the peace and quiet
of New Jersey, suspended for a
week and fined $100.
A change in the teams manager
from Rogers Hornsby to Charley
Grimm in the heat of the pennant
race.
Commissioner K. M. Lands con-
Quoting an investigation into al
legged race track gambling among
the players.
Stay Near Top
In spite of all of them, the Cubs
have never been out of first division
and have battled their way back to
