series. marked by fewer
record performances, but
more arguments than any champion
ships in years, found base balls fol-

nominations of No. hero Of the
battle won by Detroit's Tigers from
the Chicago Cubs.
As far as the final game was con-
cerued, the hero was Goose Goslin-

Over the full six-game stretch, how

Mir Dooley, who had the or iginal manuscript, said the poem was written by James Dickson a loco motive engineer who worked on the Alaska Central and had quite re- putation as a poet He first called his poem "Mariar Jane' but later changed the title to The SquaW Mans Lament. Numerous requests from oldtimers outside have been made to have it published once more. Save this, as it is too long to republish.

NEW HAVEN DOCTOR
 GUEST OF KIWANlS
Birth Control Emphasized as Check on Maternal
 Mortality

Birth control as a means of pre- venting an alarming maternal mortality is gaining wider recogni- ton at present than at any time in medical history, Dr. J. Preeny of New Haven told members of the Kiwanis club at the luncheon meeting today at the Elton. The speaker is an obstetrician of more than 30 years experience.
 No one who is poor, and married and worried over the possibilities of large families is opposed to birth control, Dr. Preeny said, pointing out that the opposition was always from unmarried per- sons or the very wealthy. He said that 18,000 women die in child birth yearly, many of the number physically unfit to have children. It Is especially for these women, he stated. that birth control will prove beneficial. ..
 Under present conditions, the speaker said, contraceptives are obtainable, but many are unre- liable and some positively harmful. Opposition to medically supervised birth control, he said, is steadily being overcome even in church circles which for years strongly fought birth control proposals.
