FUTURE BRIDE
SEES LOU PLAY

Vernon Gomez, New York
mound ace, is the only southpaw
who has beaten the Chicago
White Sox this year, but he
couldn't do it yesterday, the
Yanks losing 4 to 8. The Sox
scored all their runs in the fourth
when Dykes tripled with the bases
full and scored on Berry's single.
Gomez was yanked in the next
inning. Bull" Durham was the
winning hurler. Inspired by the
presence of his fiancee in the
stands, Lou Gehrig clouted his
sixteenth homer and took the lead
in the home-run derby.
The Chicago Cubs, National
League champions, who haven't
scored since Saturday, were
blanked again by the New York
Giants, 3 to 0. Hal Schumacher
held the Bruins to three hits and
despite four errors by his mates,
hung up his fifth shutout and
seventh victory Of the year.

Giant, led the attack on Charley
Root with three hits.
Brooklyn knocked Bill Walker

helped the Phillies take an 8 to 7
slugfest from Cincinnati and end
their five-game losing streak.

the National League home run
derby.
Boston's Red Sox chalked up
their sixth win in nine starts,
their best squirt in years, when
PipgcaS held the Cleveland In
dians to five hits and beat them

aboard featured. It was a line
drive on which Averill attempted
a Shoestring catch.
Detroit trimmed the Athletics,
9 to 4, and tied the Mackmen for
fifth place. Vic Frasier, obtained
from the White Sox, held the AS
to six hits while the Tigers slug

ming the Dixie Pigs, 9-8. Dixie
Pigs won the crown last year.

WILSON SEEKS
NEW CHANCE

Cali ask" the chunky giant
said, as a chance to show 1
still can play ball. Just a
chance"
Hack Wilson sat with chin
cupped in powerful hands, staring
out of his hotel window.
Three brief seasons ago he was
the greatest slugger in his league.
He smashed out 56 homers, set
a loop record for runs driven in.
Today he was fighting for a
steady job with the Dodgers. He
was asking for a trial, a chance
to prove he still belonged in the
big time.
ooh, I've made my mistakes"
the once powerful whacker
said. "Once / was a gOOd-time
charley, a big play boy.
II guess every ball player
gets overcome by prosperity
some time or the other. I
realize now that you can't play
both ends against the middle.
I've learned my lesson, / think.
Things look different to me
now"
There certainly is every evi'
dence that Wilson has taken a
fresh grip on himself much in
the same manner as Babe Ruth
did. The Hacker is hustling
every moment. He has no false
pride about his comeback. Re
Gently in Chicago, for instance
he was not too proud to take a
big mitt and warm up relief
pitchers in front of the right
field bleachers before the fans
who once hailed him as king.

COLLEGE HEADS
WORRY ABOUT
FINANCES
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Financial worries weigh heavily
on many college athletic officials.
Reports from all sections Of the
country indicate that the protes-
sional element in the intercol'
legiate athlet' establishment
coaches, graduate managers ana
assistant coacheS-fear that u1-
less heroic measures are taken,
early this fall, intercollegiate
competition is in for a thorough
overhauling, by academic officials,
something the professional ele-
ment Goes not want to happen.
The latest indication Of financ.
ial troubles comes fro: Chicago.
The Midway city, it appears, has
not supported the national col
legiate track and field meet.
Crowds have been conspicuous by
their absence. AS a result, it Is
planned to transfer this meet, .
fixture in Chicago since 1921, to
Los Angeles. University Of South
ern California, without financial
worries, offers to guarantee ex-
penses of the meet, If 1t is taken
to Californi.
A Bad Influence
Probably no influence today in
intercollegiate athletics is quite so
harmful as the graduate manager
without faculty ranking. His &C
tivities are open to severe
criticism. He, above all others,
has failed to realize what is going
on in the world of intercollegiate
athletics. Charged with the task
of creating friendships for his col
lege, in many cases he has
brought enmitieS. Even his own
alumni, in numerous cases, object
to his tactics and question his
business acumen.
Most colleges that are now wal
lowing in the depths of debt can
trace their difficulty to graduate
managers minus faculty rating.
Those colleges which are in
debt preach economy, but do not
practice it. AS an instance, one
college, arguing that it was a
policy of economy to eliminate a
high-priced coach, raised the
guarantee of a 1888 football oppo-
nent from $4,000 to $4,000 to take
the opponent off another colleges
schedule, and guaranteed another
football opponent of 1888 a matter
of $4,000.
He Steals Opponent
The former team left the
schedule Of its 1882 opponent, in
order to gain the benefit Of that
extra $1,000. while the latter op-
ponent, realizing that its host
would lose money on a $4,000
guarantee, tried to escape the
playing of the game but was re-
fused release.
It is reasonable to suppose in
the case of the latter opponent
that the host team will lose more
in 1888 than it did in 1882, which
was plenty. Incidentally, the
visiting team trounced the host
eleven by some so points in 1882,
and will have much superior
team in 1888, while the host team
will be much weaker than in
1882, according to all signs.
Graduate managers without
faculty rating appear to be weak
sisters. when compared to direc-
tors of athletics and graduate
managers with faculty rating. The
former seem to lack business
ability. in many cases, escape
regulation by academic authori.
ties and in the vast majority Of
cases are not only dull-witted.
but arrogant as we'll, in their
ignorance of changing conditions
in the world Of intercollegiate

Confidence Is Needed

If the NRA program now being attempt ed does no more than create an attitude of public confidence in a business revival. it will do great deal to make such a revival an actual fact.
 General Hugh S. Johnson reminds us of this fact. by implication, in stating that one of the big needs of the day is "a further loosening of commercial credit facilities. There is still 'hold-over timidity'' from the depression period, and it has operated to keep credit more eonstrieted than should be the case
 T do not believe you can get extension of credit by fiat, he remarks. You have to establish this basis of faith and confidence first, and that is what we are trying as hard as we know how to do.'
 If the MIRA program can re-establish this confidence, it will have helped us long way back toward full recovery.

No More Toothaches

pr Frank M Caste, president elect of the American Dental Association. predicts that the toothache will be practically un- known in another hundred years The sci- enee of preventive dentistry is advancing so fast. and people are getting SO well educated to its advantages, that few teeth will ever reach the stage in which they give pain.
 All of this is very glittering and attrae- tive sort of picture. surely: and it leads one to speculate idly on the attitude our grand children will have when they look back at the conditions under which we are living today.
 We ourselves look back at Elizabethan times and wonder how on earth people eyer endured the manifold diseomforts and physi- cal ineonvenienees of that era; and, by the same token, we thank our stars that we live in more enlightened age. May not our grandchildren, reading of the torments we suffered from aching teeth. wonder how we ever put up with such things.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-08-31
Renewing The Fight

No state board has undergone the eriti- cism that has been heaped on our public utilities commission in the last ten years As far back as 1923 democrats were out spoken in their remarks about the group and its apparent failure to recognize the rights of the public. As time passed so did the complaints. But never for one instant did they let up. They reached climax when Professor Albert Levitt of Bedding leveled an accusing finger and even pointed out few pertinent facts about the lax manner in which many of the states public utility companies were flirting with the law.
 While this caused somewhat of furore it did not result in any sweeping changes in our law governing the public utilities nor did it cause sweeping changes in the make up of the commission. When Governor Cross. the democrats having invaded the sacrosanet eitadels of republieanism, attempt ed to place an outstanding exponent of modern public utilities law on the eommis- sion. the republicans joined in squelching the effort. We refer, of course, to the celebrated appointment of Professor Rich ard Joyce Smith with its aftermath.
 All this is by way of acquaintng the gen. eral public with the fact that one more protest is being lodged with the authorities. Governor Cross is in receipt of a resolution &L. o1J 0f Municipal Officials asking that the commis sion "eease acting as a quasi-official body and act as the champion and defender of the people against the aggressions of the Public Utilities corporations in lthe state ." This resolution was not adopfed without eonsid- erable debate and to our way of thinking it represented a democratic victory, although we may be doing members an injustice in this statement.
 At any rate 1t was former Mayor Alfred N. Phillips of Stamford who led the fight to adopt the resolution and who was bitter in his criticism of the present public utili- ties commission. And it was Comptroller John J. O'Rourke of Bridgeport who ably supported him and also expressed himself in no uncertain terms on the ealibre of our public utilities commission. The outcome of this protest may be no different than others that have gone before it. but it serves to keep the eye of the public focused on the board which in time may prove unpleasant. We should think that eventually something more is bound to come of these criticisms than merely retorts. It doesn't reflect upon the states credit to find commission con tinually under fire. Something is definitely wrong and must be rghted.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-08-31

They're starting to worry about the ex- tnetion of the grizzly bear in the United States As matter of fact we didn't know there were any more grizzlies in tbe states. Thought they had all drifted northward to the wilds of north western Canada and Alas ka. However, it would never do for us in this highly civilized age to allow native species of wild animal life to become extinct. This news demands some official recogni- ton. but not necessarily any junket trips to convince Legislators of the need of action: However, if there is any attempt made to build up the grizzly race. then we vote that it be in some secluded corner far from the haunts of man where neither could disturb the other.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-08-31
The Bir Four

It is unfortpnstc that the Big Four o. American industry. Steel. Coal. Oil and Motors. have delayed and dodsed SO long in preparing their working codes. They have done this either from genuine inability to agree. or from feeling that they were SO powerful that they could beat the govern ment and have their own way by holding out. It goes without saying that any in- dustrial leaders holding the latter view are mistaken. The government is supreme. de- termined and in command of the situation. NRA takes orders from no industry or group of industries
 It is more charitable. and probably more accurate, to accept the former view. And where conflicting interests prevent an in- dustry from achieving unity in itself and fitting into the national recovery scheme. some outside power must step in and do the job for it. This is necessary. in tbe present case, not merely for the sake of khe country. but for the sake of the industries themselves In yielding big stick to force rebellious fractions of these industries into fine, or in sweeping aside unsatisfactory compromise codes and proceeding to write the codes itself, MIRA under its stern but fair administrator is doing these big indus tries favor. Their most enlightened lead CTS probably recognize the fact and secretly welcome the intervention.
