The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-07

The Metropolitan organizations s advisory committee has virtually ordered that it's members shall not appear on links nude above the kneecaps.
 An epidemic of bare limbs and shorts among women golfers, which aroused the sisters of the Met association to preliminary protests, was climaxed by the ap- pearance of Beatrice Gottlieb, prominent New York golfer, clad in shorts in one-day tournament at Woodmere.
 Well-Known
 Miss Gottlieb happened to be golfer who golfed with the Prince of Wales last year and the asso- citation felt it could no longer re- fuse to take official cognizance. They adopted their ruling urging members to refrain from appear ing in such apparel after a stormy session at the Biltmore Hotel yesterday.
 Girls Are Pecved Miss Gottlieb's retort was: The prince wears shorts." Others eX pressed their resentment against being told what to wear, and still others favored shorts for reasons of efficiency in making shots. Jo- sephine Windle, executive secre- tary of the association, expressed the hope no members would seek vulgar publicity in making test of the ruling. She expects cold weather to settle the issue.

LoyoIa Coach
 ExplainsPrayer ByGridChargeS

New ans-(UP)-There has been some criticism of teams that pray-not openly, of course, but criticism just the same.
 These critics think it wrong for players to "pray to win"
 It's news to know that the teams do not pray for victory, but pray
 Well, let's hear Doe" Erskine, former Jesuit and now Loyola uni- verSity coach, tell it. What they pray for, who started its and why the teams pray.
 Football teams were playing at Jesuit when 1 first went there.' Erskine said. "iBll Daly started it. I think.
 You can't give pep talks to boys week after week. And. at any rate the talks were not doing any good.
 "So Bill decided to have the boys say prayer before they took the field. It had the effect of malI- ing the boys who ordinarily were nervous and high strung, cool and collected.
 Sootlnes Player
 When a boy is calm he is so much better at anything than ne ccn be when he's excited and up- set.
 ''So that's why the boys pray at Jesuit and Loyola.
 They do not, as so many seem to think, pray to win.
 'They pray to do their best Thov faol tla,, do best they'll win"
 Asked What if they Iose-don' some of the boys think their pray CTS weren't answered ?" Erskine replird:
 No When they lose the boys know they simply didn't play well enough. The fault is their"
 Erskine pointed to records of Jesuit and Loyola in football. base ball. track and basketball, showing that the schools usually win the close ones. He said the reason is that when the pinch comes the boys pray and the pause for prayer gives them renewed faith in themselves and their teammates. and calrns the excited ones.
 He also pointed to the reputa- tion tho schools have in Clean sportsmanship and said. Here again is the effect of prayer. A boy does men things only when he's excited and hot-headed."
 But these schools arc the onl,. ones in this section that pray.
 Al Kricder, cnach of the Commy high team. said his teams have been praying "for years'. The school coached by krieder won tho American Legion baseball series two years ago. the city and state 1,e"ion championship last year. and the senior and junior city prep tiles for the past two sea- sons.
 It would be hard to tell those boys that prayer doesn't help.

{ "The American league ball was supposed to be unchanged, but IL is rolled, and left too smooth, says Tommy Bridges. the 155- pound package of pluck who has , won IS games for the surprising Tigers. "Nothing resembling line is formed by the sewing. Curve ball pitchers cannot grip the ball as they did the one which had raised and heavier seams last season.
 
 Earl whitehill's trouble wasn mental when he was first to point out the curve ball pitchers dlsad- vantage with the 1884 ball. others who rely on something beside pumping the ball through there have complained since, pitchers like Carl Hubbell, Mel Harder Fred Marberry and Bump Hadley.
 "The umpires being ordered to remove the gloss by rubbing the ball in dirt hasn't helped much, TOT the only time we get a real hold on one is after it has been well smacked and the seam raised.
 Last years ball was perfect, and the owners should have let well enough alone. Mickey Coch- rane tells me it was the best he has seen since he broke in. It was 1alr to both sides. The pitcher could mt something on it, and it would travel a magnificent distance If the batter hit 1t hard enough ana squarely."
 Happenings like these in the American league alone give pltcn- CTS and intielders cause for appre- henSion:
 rifle shot from Marvin Owens bat nearly tore Rube Walberg hand off. Blood poisoning set In a finger. - After a liner from Bill Rogells shillalah did everything but unlace one of John Marcum's No. 16s, owen finished the Philadelphia pitcher with drive that ricocheted off his wrist.

 Base running has become risky business. Babe Ruth caVed In ike a wounded rhinoceros and wound up in bed when speared by leath- er-covered shell from, Lou Gehr1g's bludgeon.
 A hopped-up hopper poled by Pinky Higgins skinned Joe Cronln jaw and cheek.
 Another slammed by Goose Cos lin struck Hal Trosky above the ear, knocking the young Cleveland first baseman colder than Duluth in January.
 Little wonder the chuckers are chucking and pulling in their necks and that each team frequently parades a half dozen in an after noon. Dealers scarcely could be blamed for yearning for the shel- ter of the showers. They are no longer twirlers. They're targets.
 The livelier ball has wrecked pitching staffs-taken all the per- centage away from the defense, and given 1t to the offense. Even a Hubbell, Gomez, Dean or a Harder has to habe some luck to get away with a low hit performance now adays. Ordinary long fly ball hit ters emulate Babe Ruth, taking the old-time thrill out of home run. Regulation games consume more than three hours.
 Everybody is fed up, including the owners and managers of both the American ad Natioal league.
 And with Babe Ruth, for whom the packrabbit ball was originated by the late Ban Johnson, passing from the picture, something un- doubtedly will be done about it at the December meetings,

RESTLESS NOMEN
BY JANE DIXON

"Mademoiselle. Tonight it is that
you are tres jolie, charmante-irree-
seesteeble!" Rene le Fargo came
forward so swiftly that he over
turned his glass on the carved balus-
trade. He bent to kiss Sandra's slim
brown hand.
Run away, baron, my boy, can't
you see I'm busy?"
But mon petite Sandee-one leetle

ask, and later. perhaps, one, two leetle
daEce-yes?"
No dance. And don't cut in un-
less 1 give you the signal. Bubbles
is watching you and she's getting
prickly heat"
Couples were dancing in a haze of
stardust that sifted DOWN onto the
tiled floor of a balcony jutting out
toward the sea. Sandra, SWooning in
the ntuted melody, the moonlight, the
sensuousness of the night, was re-
called to the present by the insistent
pressure of a cheek against her own
Sonny Warren, apparently, was not
to be denied
First dance at the club, Sandy?
May I??'
If you like" AS well Sonny as
another.
And the last dance-Ill be patient,
Sandy Promse?"
Il wouldn't know about that" The
music stopped. Sandra Whirled herself
free Of Sonny'S arms. ITS ages from
now. Anything can happen-and will
if I can make it"
Il cant see why you're so skittish
with me-" Sonny growled. The others
don't seem to mind having me
around"
"Of course they don't, you nice
woolly lamb" Music resumed They
were dancing again. Think what a
lovely fleece you have 1t Just hap

near midnight Sprawled across the
sand dunes, like some gargantuan
long low building seemed to have
caught and held all the color and
brilliance in this corner of the uni
verse, and was now spewing it forth
from every pore. Somewhere within
Sandra a wire buZZed, throwing of
tiny electric sparks that spun through
her veins Life, this life, was beau

She located her mother. sitting with
the death WatCh'-yOuth's patter for
those elders among matrons who made
a gesture of keeping an eye on their
Offsprlng-Gt the far end of the as
sembly hall. She would give wide
berth to that quarter.
Sonny claimed his first dance
Halfway up the hall Sandra saw. over
his shoulder, that her mother had
glimpsed her, leveled a lorgnette and
was nodding approval of situation
which placed her daughter in tempo
rary keeping of so important an eligi-
bic as young Warren. Valerie was
nowhere in sight.
Sandra danced for an hour. paus-
ing only for an exchange Of partners
or sip of punch, the potency of
which was beginning to sap the fresh
ness and fog the minds of those who
drank too deeply. Rene le Fargo was
bearing down on her from a dis
tance, determination in his eye. He
meant to cut in whether she signaled
him or not.
"I feel SLIGHTLY sWiZZled." she con-
