MACHINES COLLIDE
 ON NAUGY ROAD

An auto crash in which two cars sideswiped each other on the Naugatuck road last night failed to result in any personal injuries, though both cars were consider ably damaged. The drivers were Joseph Burns of S1 Euclid avenue and Domenic Torsiello of 91 Gran by street.
 The accident took place on lower South Main street. near the plant of the Diamond Ginger Ale com- pany, with the cars travelling in op' posite directions. Motor Patrolman Joseph Garvey, investigating, found that the car being driven by Tor. siello is owned by John Greco of New Haven avenue.
 A minor accident was reported last night. when Anthony Guidetta of 45 East Farm street told police that yesterday afternoon his car had slightly injured Henry Tarase- wicz, 15, of 132 Locust street.

JOHN TOBIN CASE
 HEARD IN COURT

(Continued from Page 1)
 who confessed that he was the one who wielded the two pound instrument.
 Lieut. Pollard's testimony was based on statements made to him and County Detective Roland All ing and taken down in writing by a. stenographer. His use of the actual statements to refresh his memory was allowed by Judge Mascolo over the protests of At. torney Wertheimer. The four lads who must now face superior court trial are Kenneth Thomp- son, 19; John Chaput. IS; Bart Quilter, r and Max Redican.
 Young Lad Tells Story
 The 15-year old lad, who can only legally be charged with in- corrigibility, was given a hearing in the judges chambers. After testimony against him had been given by Mir Tobin and Lieut. Pol lard, the judge invoked a rarely used statute to have a private con- ver5ation with the boy and his Attorney Jesse Devine.
 .IIe boy testified in the subse- quent hearing of the four other cases that there had been talk of taking over" somebody while the five of them were riding about the East End and Hamilton avenue, but he could not recall who had ma de the actual original sugges- tion.
 According to his story, when Mir TObin was seen walking along Hamilton avenue last Wednesday night he and another youth got out of the car while the other three stayed in front, one of them hand ing him the blackjack. Coming in back of the pedestrian, the young lad struck Mir Tobin in the back of the head with the heavy, padded weapon. He and the other youth, frightened, then jumped on the running board of the car, which had turned arouond.
 As the car started down Hamil- ton avenue, Mir Tobin had hailed a a.passing machine and was in pur- suit. Thompson, driving the youths car, swung wide around Washington street and the car crashed into a pole. While the other four made their escape, he was found in the car by Mir Tobin and held till police took him into custody for questioning, with the result that all five of the boys were later arrested.

 Mills Closed by Labor Day
 By Labor day they planned that every mill would be smut down. Upon that holiday the textile work CTS intended to forego the tradi- tional picnics and substitute mass meeting at each textile center. The strike committee ordered the meet ings to begin at noon on the dot creating one great mass meeting, from Maine to Georgia.
 Unless we get definite action be- forehand from the mill operators" |" German said, President Roosevelt is the only man who can stop the strike" Earlier, however, he had said mediation by the National Labor Relations Board would be considered.
 He emphasized that he had not approached MT Roosevelt for a conference and said that there had been no negotiations between his committee and the White House.
 Funds Were No Worry
 The fact that the textile union has only about $1,000,000 to n- AAdhSO tilC NdihOoI dppol aAu not worry German. He said that local unions had "their own methods of obtaining funds and that the federal government would feed the strikers if necessary.
 Unless the Labor Department rules that the strike is unjustified, Federal Relief Administrator Harry Hopkins said his organization would provide food for the strik- CTS, just as it does for the jobless. Hopkins was angry at the strike leaders, however. for what he said was their committing" him to ad- vance. He said one of the union heads was reported to have an. nounced the government would care for all. strikers.
 Hopkins said that the plan Of feeding strikers apparently had worked well and that he did not believe 1t had encouraged walk outs.
 "The difficulty" he said. "comes when someone in advance of strike and apparently in an effort to gain support of the movement draws an inference that the government is all set to care for everyone"
 Chicago, August 2S - (UP) = William H. Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, said today that there are hopes of averting the textile strike if the National Labor Relations Board will intervene.
 Since the workers have no con- fidence in the cotton textile board we are concentrating on the rela. tions board. hopeful that they will intervene before the strike is called September A." he said.
 "If the board will intervene, wa will have cause to hope for a set- clement of the difficulties before the strike" Green, who came here to speak at a testimonial dinner for George E. Browne, union leader, also said he was hopeful the labor board would be able to settle the strike of Aluminium workers.

HOLY ROLLERS TO
 LOSE THEIR SON
(Continued from Page 1.D

~-------------------------
 Dr A. W. Rawls, head of the For est General hospital at Gadsden, and q specialist in surgery, came here to assist Dr w. T. Miller, county doctor. They cut into the leg, swollen twice its normal size, and found a large part of the shin bone eaten away by infection. From 10 to 12 ounces of fluid was drained. The infection started with bruise and it had developed into osteomyelitis, the disease that killed Calvin Coolidge, Jr, Dr Rawls said.
 No Fee for Doctor
 Dr Rawls came here at his own expense without hope of fee. Mrs Hawkins and Mrs Miller circulated "collection envelope" among neighbors in an effort to refund his railroad fare. M
 This town was torn by bitter re- ligious debate. The Holy Rollers maintained the tenents of their faith-that only faith in God can heal the body's ills. Baptists, who predominate, looked on in horror. IT. c. Wilson, the child's maternal grandfather, sat on the Sharp front porch and wept while the opera tion was being performed. He is Q Baptist and he called the laws at- tention to the child's plight last Thursday.
 Boy Carried Away
 When Judge Hawkins demanded immediate medical attention, the father carried his child into the hills and did not return him until Sunday night and agreed most re- luctantly to the operation.
 Both doctors at first refused to perform the dangerous operation anywhere but in q hospital. but when the father said he would gC to jail before he would allow it., they e"''inped the bedroom as best they could.

Three Kentucky Colleges

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Oct. 11.-Three
of Kentucky's collegiate football

At the University Of Kentucky,
Chef Wynne, former Notre Dame
star fullback and pupil of the i'm
mortal Knute Rockne, has taken

Wynne came to Kentucky late in
the 1888 campaign, giving up his
position as head coach at Auburn
where, in four years time, he de-
veloped a championship team. His

IRISH COACH
STICKING TO

BY ROBERT WALTON

SOUTH BEND, IND, Oct. H.
What was good enough for Rockne
is good enough for me-"
So says Elmer F. Layden, head
football coach and director of Ath-
letics at the University Of Notre
Dame, now in his first season OF
attempting to turn out a team OF
the unbeatable calibre the Irish
used to have when the late Knute
K. Rockne was at the helm.
AS coach Layden admits that
ell he knows about football he
learned during his own student
days when he was one of the -Four
Horsemen" on Rockne's ia m o u S
team of 1924.
And so, when stores drift back
to the campus here that other
Notre Dance trained coaches are
using innovations and even drop
ping the Notre Dame system, they
arouse . the ire of the ordinarily
calm Layden.

RUETHER TO Be
INDIANS BOSS
COMING SEASON
Already New Manager Is
Making plans to Strength
en- Seattle Ball Club

SEATTLE, Oct. 11.-"Dutch" Rue
ther has signed a contract to man
age the Seattle Indians of the Pa
cific Coast League next year and
already the veteran southpaw is
plotting to strengthen the tribe.
The salary is $4,000 for the year.
Ruether got his chance to win
himself a name as manager last
spring when Keeper fired George
Burns.
His complete success is shown by
his getting the new contract.
Ruethers 1885 plans are bit
tentative but they look something
like this:
Chick Ellsworth, oldest Indian in
point of service, will be traded for
newer talent.
Something must be done to speed
up the right side of the Indians
infield. Too many balls go sailing
through there for base hits.
A shakeup in the catching staff
impends, with possibly one of the
present staff being used for trading
material.
Two or three younger pitching
stars will be sought
A good deal of that help may
come from the Indians new tie-up
with the Detroit Tigers. The Tribes
outfield became pretty well set
when the Tigers turned over Bill
Lawrence's contract and promised
at least some pitching help.
Ellsworths passing is virtually
certain. Chick has been a regular
with the Indians since the 1926
season. That is, until Chef Smith,
sensational young shortstop, sup
planted him. A change might help
Chick, while a trade would bring
help to strengthen the club in other
spots.
Chick drew suspension recently
for breaking training, gaining a
reprieve only when Joe Coscarart
became crippled from a corn and
Smith was taken i'll with a heavy
cold. He was sent home from the
last road trip but promised to mind
his behavior from then on.

SLANTS

MEET BRANCH RICKEY

Branch Hickey, brains of the St.
Louis Cardinal organization, is a
scholarly, interchangeable piece of ma
chinery, who succeeds yet is not
successful.
While he sits in his dingy St
Louis office figuring how much
money the Cardinals will lose this
year, his team invaded the east to
beat out the New York Giants.
Eloquent, devout, clever, Hickey
looks wonderfully like a college
professor He wears half-moon spec
tacles clipped to his nose when he
reads, talks rapidly, hoarsely, in
diligently.
Onetime director Of Ohio Wesley
an university, Hickey smokes con-
stantly, but never swears or touch
es liquor When he managed the
st. Louis team years ago, he re-
fused to direct the team on Sun
days, turned his job over on the
Sabbath to Burt Shotton, former
Philadelphia manager, now coach
of the Cincinnati Reds.
If Hickey wanted to give his time
over to lecturing, he could make
a better living at that than at base
ball. Before a large audience, he
talks even more brilliantly than in
conversation; here is is the actor,
starting his speeches SO quietly
that the audience must be dead
silent to hear, and then stirring
himself up until his audience sits
amazed, and he is so hoarse he
must stop.
To take advantage of his person
atty, he seldom deals for players
unless he talks personally with the
person with whom the deal is be-
ing made. Consequently, his trans
portation and telephone bills are
an outstanding figure in the organ
izations red-ink column.
A keen student of the game,
Hickey has his own ideas about
how a ball club should be run, but
does not interfere with his mana
ger when their opinions differ.
Whenever possible, he has the
presidents and managers of his
ether clubs together for a confer
ence, which may last through most
OF the night, and usually ends with
Hickey in long night gown, talk
ing just as quickly and enthusiast
tically as when it started.
Says he: when we discuss ball
players, consider first whether they
have the heart, then if they have
the speed, then if they can field
and throw, and finally if they can
hit"
