that which it can pay for in large
measure with cash. They contend
it would result in stronger bust
ness and security foundation. The
general public would seem to be
stringing along with the admins
tration also.
From the standpoint of the
brokers, speculation is desirable. 1t
makes for a larger turnover of
stocks and, consequently. additional
commissions. And since Mr. Whit
ney is representing the brokers, he
can not be criticised for speaking
in Their behalf. In fact, Mr.. Whit
ney is a broker himself, and his firm
would suffer along with the others
in the loss of commissions.

|CIESLEWSKI WINS
 FOUR SET MATCH
 FOR NAUCY TITLE
Harry Bassford Proves
 Strong Foe for Two Sets
Special to The Dcmocrat)

I N~ANON-~~A Naugatuck, Sept 10-Henry Cies- lewski, slim Michigan State col lege graduate, yesterday turned back another challenge to his ten- his prowess here and retained his title as borough champion by de- feating Harry Bass1ord, red -haired eA- Yale university player. Cieslew- ski won in three out of four sets, scores being 6-2, 4--6, 6-1 and 6-3.
 The match was a good one throughout, but Cieslewski had too much power in his attack for Basstord. The contest was played at the Recreation field anu was witnessed on the grandstand pro- vided especially for the occasion by the largest crowd to see a ten ms match here in years.
 Fast Start
 Cieslewski ran orr the first three games in the first set before Bass- iord won his first game. -Cieslew- ski made it four to one by taking his. own serve. Bassford won tho next but his opponent increased the power of his forehand drives to capture the next two and set.
 The style of play of the two contestants was quite a contrast. Cleslewski using last serve q de- pending on speed and placement, and a nard forehand drive. Bass ford had slow serve but he im- parted large amount of top spin on both his serve and his forehand drives which were also slow. These were hard to handle.
 Bassford showed a fondness for playing fairly near the net and his net game was brilliant at times. Time after time the champion would tap a craftily placed drop shot into the side of the court but Bassford usually managed to reach it. Cieslewski also played fine game at the net.
 There were many fast inter- changes of shots at the net which brought forth well merited ap- plause from the gallery. Bassford showed a stronger backhand than did Cieslewski, using a low passing shot which was very difficult to get.
 Nip and Tuck
 Bassford won the first two games in the second set but Cieslewski later tied it up at four all. Bass ford, not to be denied, broke his opponents serve and took his own to cop this set.
 The last two sets were all Cies- lewski. The Yale man showed a tendency to double fault at crucial points and although he continued to occasionally flash bits of bril- liant form. the champion steadily added to his game score.
 Bassford won the first game of the fourth set, Cieslewski tied it up, Bassford took the next one, Cies- lewski captured two in row, dropped the sixth and than ran three off.
 Officials
 The match was sponsored by Peter J. Foley, Recreation field di- rector. The committee in charge consisted of Frank Jones, chair man, Joseph Worrell, Henry Cies- lewski, William J. Baxter and Ken meth Rapieff. The tourney was run off in two weeks.
 By virtueof his win, Cieslewski will receive a cup, as will also Bassford. Tennis balls will be given the semi-finalists, Francis kosowicz and Clayton Dethlefsen. Harris Whittemore, Jr, officiated as umpire at the match, Bill Baxter, scorer. Dethlefsen, Kosowicz, Will liam Healey and Fred Dean, lines- men.

The records show that the pace setting Detroit Tigers begged down for the first time since they hit the top of the loop more than two months ago. And the records also show that the New York Yankees begged right down with them.
 Detroit dropped four out of eight gam es-an average of .500. They dropped their first double header this year to the Athletics. And the Yankees, who have long awaited the Tiger crack-up, were booting four games to the three lowest clubs in the league during the same period.
 On The Skids
 New York's average was shade better-six wins out of ten-but on the losing side the Yankees moved step for step with the De- troiters. As result, they are four games behind to-day, needing a sweep of their series with Detroit starting September 17th, to get a fractional chance of overhauling the leaders.
 Yesterday a 29-year-old rookie, George Selkirk, and the redoubt- able Henry Louis Gehrig, pulled the Yankees out twice against St Louis. Selkirk cracked a homer in the fourteenth inning of the open CT to win, 6-5, and Gehrig's four way blow drove mate home in the sixth to win the second 2-1. The game was closed out at the end of that inning due to dark ness.
 Schoolboy Rowe meanwhile was pitching Detroit to a shaky win over Boston, 5-4, Hank Greenberg driving in the winner in the tenth. Johnny Burnett's homer in the tenth inning of Cleveland's second game against the Athletics scored a 6-5 win and gave the Indians a double killing, Oral Hildebrand pitching the early win, S-3.
 Mighty Clout
 Washington and Chicago broke even, Marty Hopkins homer with the sacks full in the opener giving the White Sox a winning edge, | 11-3, while the Senators scored a 21 victory in the nightcap, Dave | Harris doubling in the tenth to score Bluege for the winning run. St Louis continued to gain on the Giants in the National, taking a double header from Philadel- phia, 6-1 and 7-3. Paul Dean gave only four hits and famed ten i'll the opener. The Cards got a game and half on the Giants, but still trail by five games.
 Gussie Suhr's homer in the ninth gave the Pirates a To win over the Giants after Freddy Fitzsim- mons and Larry French had each pitched five-hit ball for eight in- nings.
 Two Below Zero
 Ray Benge and Van Lingle Mungo, the two leading men on Casey Stengers Brooklyn pitching staff, each turned in a shutout over Cincinnati, Benge giving two hits in the opener and winning, 50. while Mungo went practically to pieces and gave three hits in a 80 shutout in the second game. | Chicago split with Boston, win- ming the opener Al on Billy Judges homer in the fifth, while the Braves set upon Guy Bush, Pat Malone and Charley Root for fif- teen hits and an Ill win in the second game. Wally Berger and Art Whitney collected homers.
