Democratic Candidate for
the 18th Senatorial Dis
trict, Attorney Joseph
Hackett, Spoke at Home
of John F. Robinson

Attorney Joseph Hackett, demo-
cratic candidate for senator in the
18th district, last night addressed
the executive committee of the
Roosevelt Cross club at the home
of John f. Robinson on Farming
ton avenue. Voters from Water
town and Naugatuck We're also
present. Attorney Hackett en-
dorsed the state and national plat
forms and pledged himself to work
for the passage of an old age
pension bill. Attorney Hackett
said:
Governor Cross was elected two
years ago, but was elected with
republican senate and republican
house Of representatives. This was
detrimental to both groups as each
was bucking the other. The only
legislation passed was compromise
legislation, which at best, Is poro
for any governor community.
Governor Cross has every ex-
pectatoin of being reelected with
his entire t!,ket. In order to have
real progress made, he will have
to have the senate and house with
him.
IF I am elected, will do all in
my power to support Governor
Cross in all progressive legislation,
always remembering that / repre-
sent Waterbury and it's interests.
IF l were to appear before you

For Big Ten

EVANSTON, ILL.,, Sept. 8. W.P)-
Dick Hanley, Northwestern foot
ball coach, today predicted that the
Big Ten football race this fall Will
be one of the closest in years with
any one of six teams likely to win
the title.
Purdue. Ohio State and Mime
sofa appear to be the three strong
est teams at this time" saio
Hanley. ANY one of them can win
the title. Both Northwestern and
Michigan may be contenders, de-
pending on the outcome of their
game October 8. l expect Illinois
to be the most improved team in
the conference. There isn't likely
to be a really weak team in the
league this year"

MACK AND MACK
TAKE ANOTHER
FROM CREAMERY

BY taking a second decision, 5 to
0. over the Golden State Creamery
team at Wilson Field last night,
the Macks gained a long step in
their battle for the championship
of the Ell Centro night ball league.
With two wins and no losses in
the five game series, the Macks
need only one more victory to cinch
the title and end the series. The
feud will be renewed tomorrow
night. when the Macks may gain
the. end they have battled for since
the opening of the season.
Last nights contest demonstrated
that it seemingly does not matter
to the hard hitting MackS who the
opposing pitcher happens to be.
Joe Hurst was the victim last night.
That Hurst was in poor form was
evident when 13 hits came from
Mack bats. This is the most blows
scored against the Creamery hurler
this season.
aDugan, Birchfield and OBrien
were the big noises in the Mack
explosion. Dugan got four hits
Birchfield turned in timely home
run. O'Brien held the opposition to
five hits and struck out II butter
makers.
Filling in the gap in the series,
the right and left handed teams
which once before furnished fans
with hot entertainment, will battle
their former grudge tonight to a
finish. The right handlers were de-
feated 7 to in 10 innings last
week, and since have been clamor
ing for revenge.

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMoRE
United Press staff Correspondent

+ NEW YORK, Sept. 8. Affairs
/ in the National League have taken
/ a most ominous turn. The Cubs are
going and the Pirates are coming.
This will never do. The Chicagos
must win the pennant. They must
win it first of all, for those thou
sands who went out on limb on
them the minute they rolled up a
six-game lead They must win in
order to preserve the magnificent
angles the sports writer's have
/ thought up for Cubs Yankees
series. It would never do for the
writer's to have to throw overheard
all those stories dealing with Joe
! McCarthy's grudge against the team
that fired him, the Titanic battle
between the largest cities of the ma
ton.
But most of all, the Chicagos
must win for Charley Grimm,
Through no fault of his own, Char
ley has been hailed as the wonder
man." and the most inspirational
leader of the age He has been
painted as a man with all the vir-
tues and none of the faults.
He has become the idol of the
masses, the hero of the little dirty
faced boys in the street. All over
the nation youngsters, who before
Grimm's ascendancy spent their
time stealing watermelons and
throwing rocks at motorists, are
practicing dutifully on the piano,
banjo, accordion, either, musical
saw and pipe organ, in order to be
like Charley Grimm.
If the Cubs lose, what will hap
pen? The kids will go back to
stealing watermelons and throwing
rocks, convinced that Grimm, after
all, was just another manager, and
that sweetness and light and mus
ical ability aren't half as import
ant to winning club as couple
of clouting outfielders, tight de-
fense and two or three 20 game
pitchers. Those of us who have the
youth of the country at heart, are
praying the Chicagos slump is only
temporary.
Pity Mr.. Veeck
Then, too, think about Mr.. Will
liam Veeck, head man of the Chi
cages. He stands swell chance of
losing face, as we say on Bubbling
Well road. For Mr.. Veeck fired
Rogers Hornsby because Mr.. Horns
by expressed the opinion that the
Chicagos were not a championship
team. Mr. Veeck said they were,
kicked Mr.. Hornsby down the stairs
and substituted Grimm.
One can easily imagine how sat
isfied Mr.. Veeck felt these past few
weeks as the Cubs spread-eagled
the field. And one can easily ina
CINE how he will feel if they go
gracefully into a tail spin, leaving
Mr.. Hornsby to chuckle out on his
Missouri farm. We imagine that
to have Mister Hornsby chuckling
at him is not one of the things
Mister Veeck is most fondest of.
Hornsby. however, may get the
last laugh. The Cubs held only a
five-game lead today and they face
a most trying road trip. Moreover
they're due for a slump. A couple
of the boys-Koenig and Cuyler to
be specific-have been playing over
their heads. We have hunch that
the series with the Robins will
make or break the Cubs. And
they're going to have to play base
ball to keep it from breaking them,
for those Robins, with the memory
of what happened to them in Chi
cago fresh in their minds, are go
ing TO be tough. Powerful tough.

FEAR BAMBINO
MAY BE VICTIM
OF APPENDICITIS

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept 8. U.P)-
/ Babe Ruth, enroute to New York
for treatment for abdominal pains
declared today an examination by
a physician would determine wheth-
er he would participate in the world
series should the Yankees win the
American League pennant.
Interviewed by a United Press
correspondent as he lay in his train
compartment, Ruth said Il feel not
so good"
The Babe lay in the compartment
with sheet drawn up under his
chin. He appeared worn and hag-
gard, but said he slept well during
the night.
Ruth said he first noticed the
pains while playing in a double
header in New York few days
ago.
do you think you will be able
TO play in the world series if the
Yankees win the pennant?" he was
asked
II don't know yet" he replied,
san examination by my physician
will decide that.
Immediately upon his arrival in
New York, Ruth will visit DR.. Ed
ward King, his personal physician.
DETROIT, Sept. 8. (UP) - Babe
Ruth, baseball's heroic slugger, re-
turned to New York today for ex-
animation and treatment for ab-
dominal pains which he feared
might result in appendicitis.
The New York Yankees famous
home run hitter was seized with
the ailment yesterday afternoon.
When the pains grew worse, he tel
ephoned to Manager Joe Mccarthy
at Buffalo, ~ Y, for permission to
go home.
The seriousness of his ailment
will not be known until he is ex-
amined by his personal physician
in New York. He declined an ex-
animation in Detroit.
In view of the approaching world
series, in which the Yankees are
almost certain to participate, many
OF Babes teammates viewed his
illness with alarm They recalled
his collapse at AsheVille, N c., in
1926 after a somewhat similar at
tack. He was in the hospital for
more than month then.
Ruth's absence from the world
series would be a seyere blow to
the Yanks because he is their lead
ing hitter He averaged .348 this
season despite his 38 years. He
ranks fifth among the major
leagues leading hitters. He Is Sec

How far the commissions opinions
will iibe with those of its representa-
tive is problematicaI Both opponents
and PROPONENTS will have their day in
court before its findings are promul-
gated. The commission is on record In
favor of bus regulation and recent ut
terances have indicated also certain
amount of sentiment in favor OF some
truck regulation, though admittedly this
offers difficulties.
while FLYNN makes clear his view that
no legislation should be enacted which
would tend to stifle competition and
ap,nhasizes that no carrier has vested
rioit in the transportation of single
passenger or pound of freight" his re-

not true today. If present conditions
continue, the diversion of traffic from
railroads will grow and constant losses
may so seriously affect passenger travel
as to make it impossible to operate eco
nomically adequate passenger train
service at present fares and the pro-
gressive loss of freight traffic will make
Improbable the operation Of many local
merchandise cars and trains that now
radiate from the principal cities. The
continued operation of as many cars
and trains would mean further reduc-
ton in net earnings.
When substantial traffic is lost to
the railroads they must recoup them
selves bv greater revenue drawn from
the remaining traffic, which means in
creased charges for those who must
continue to use the railroads. Con-
Sidered from this standpoint, shippers
as a whole have an interest in railway
Investment as transportation charges
must be adequate for fair return"
Further, the report contends, regula-
ton Is to the interest of the highway

would tend to stabilization.

At Ain Sefra and Sidi bel Abbes, in

have showers heated by the sun.
So successful have these experiments
proved that the French military au-

system to many other posts. Within
few years 1t is probable that the heat
of the sun will be utilized In this way
throughout the French colonies in those
vast tracts in Africa where there Is no
timber and where the cost Of bringing
coal Is prohibitive.
The appliances for heating water by
