DROP CLEVELAND T.
WITH DOUBLE WIN
Rowe Is Hurt as Cochrane
Crew Registers Seventh
Straight Victory.
BY HUGH g.. FULLERTON, yR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


- DING on the time honored
though often disproved
Y theory that the teams which
hold the lead after July 4 are
the ones likely to be on top at the
finish, New York fans still can look
forward to their ideal Of a world
series on q scent fare.
The Yankees apparently will have
quite a battle, though, to bring 1t
about.
The Independence day double
headers made the Yanks' hold on
the American League lead look rather
shaky. IS they had to work their
hardest to gain an even break with
the birthplace Boston Red Sox The
rampant Detroit Tigers slammed their
way to two more victories over Cleve-
land and cut New York's lead to two
games.
After Lefty Grove shackled them
with seven hits to give Boston q
4-3 victory, the Yanks called on an
other southpaw, Vernon Gomez, who
came through with brilliant four-hit
flinging while the league leaders
smashed out 7-to-1 decision.
Rowe Injuries Shoulder.
THE Tigers had to go IL innings to
beat Cleveland, 6 to 5, in the
opener after Mickey Cochrane tied
1t up with homer in the ninth,
but the second clash brought an easy
10-to-4 triumph. Lynwood Rowe hurt
shoulder muscle and had to retire.
1t vas the Tigers seventh straight
victory and their fifth over the In
dams, who sank to fourth place as
Chicago's White Sox belted over the
browns twice, II to 6 and 4 to O.
Silent John Whitehead broke his six
game losing streak, but he failed to
finish the opener and Les Tietje fol-
lowed with flve-hit fiinging job.
The Athletics also were double win
ners. beating Washington, 6 to 3 and
2 to 1, to take sixth place from the
Senators.
In contrast to this struggle, the
Giants National League lead stretched
to nine games-the longest so far-as
they trimmed the Braves twice. The
Cardinals routed the Cubs to climb
back into second place and drop Chi
cago to fourth. The Pirates moved
up a notch to third by splitting their
bargain bill with Cincinnati.

Ceppola Keeps Him Company.
WHITEHILL and Henry Coppola
wv were the lone members of the
current Griff curving corps to return
home from the 24-garne tour without
q victory. Yet Earl deserved three
victories and remains the acknowl-
edged ace of a staff that has proved
itself one of major league balls
feehlest.
He may not be the pitcher of 1893,
when he won % games and lost eight
during the American League race. and
then won Washingtons only game in
the world series with the Giants. It
Is quite probable that Whitehill has
gone back little since.
But neither Is he as Ineffective as
his current record indicates Unless
all signs are cock-eyed, Whitehill is
in a fair way of annexing the dubious
title of base balls hard luck cham
pion for 1885.
This penchant for drawing frowns
from Dame Fortune may date back
earlier in the campaign, but, if so, in
. milder manner that merely estab-
lished them as run-of-the-mine
breaks" Of the game. But during
the tour that ended yesterday the
Iotund southpaw really came into his
own as a nard-luck hurler.

WITHOUT VICTORY
FOR LAST MONTH
Earl and CoppoIa Are Only
Members of Slab Staff
With No Road Win.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

~ NE of the more acute disap-
pointments this season for
the Nationals has been Earl
~ Whitehill's failure to win his
quota of ball games. In fact, the
veteran southpaw has not been cred
tied with a victory for exactly one
month.
This, in itself, explains much of the
reason why the Griffs pick up the
thread of their campaigning today at
Griffith Stadium in seventh place.
Coincidentally, they dropped to this
new and lowlier-than-ever state while
Whitehill was on the mound.
Earl's failure to show record any
better than six victories against eight
defeats also would seem to indicate
that the gyrating southpaw is slip
ping; that he no longer rates his
ranking as the ace of the Washington
slab staff.
Yet the records fail to tell all of the
story. This just doesn't seem to be
Earl,s year with Lady Luck, or, at
least, the old dame is conserving hel
smiles for Earl until an uncommonly
late date,

the spot" no matter whether there ar grounds for the charges or not.
 Tl-s matter has caused a deep split in the democratic party and many residents are wondering just how long it will be before the split be- comes as wide as the Grand Can- yon. Two democratic b1rgesses are known to be opposed to the fire chef and the republican burgesses have lined up with them on several votes heretofore.
 Political observers point to the vote on exoneration of MT. Phillips taken at Monday nights meeting of the board. Two weeks earlier when Burgess Victor Burkus who has con- sistently defended Chief Calvin, charged that MT. Phillips showed ignorance in driving over the hose, Burgess Leo Brophy demanded an investigation in order that fairness be shown the accused.
 Yet although no official investi- gation has yet been made, Burgess Brophy charged MT. Phillips was acting under the orders of his chief, an accusation which in itself im- plies lack of afflciency to the chief.
 Nobody demanded an investiga- ton at this point to see whether MT Brophy's implied charge was &C., curate nor would the board await report by the fire committee of which MT. Burkus is chairman. It

as much as was MT. Calvin and therefore had not aroused as much opposition.
 It was freely predicted after the bill had been passed that Mir. Gall win would not hold the position long before an custer attempt would be filed.
 And the first steps toward this would be to have charges filed against him and the borough board move for his dismissal.
 However, under the bill W hich passed in the legislature the fire fire chief could carry his case to the courts.
 Calvin on Spot?
 MT. Galvin's friends claim that the demand among some burgesses for a thorough investigation of the de- partment is but a preliminary move toward filing of such charges, which the- claim will be trumped up. Al- though the fire chief has publicly announced he welcomes an investi- gation and denied he ordered John Phillips, paid fireman, to drive over the hose at the Sokoloski fire, his friends feel that he is to be put lon

Naugatuck, Oct. 16-Much inter est is being shown not only among politicians but also residents in general, in the fire department si- tuation. Many residents are won- dering if the sudden steps toward demanding an investigation of the fire department, something which has not been done in many years, is not 8 preliminary step toward an attempt to oust Fire Chief Milton Calvin from his position.
 MT. Calvin was made fire chief permanently here when the state legislature at its session last spring passed a measure making perma- nent positions of paid firemen in the department. Skillful and se- |cret political maneuvering here caused the passage of the bill, after Mir. Calvin on the board of warden lit had been thought dead and just la few hours before opponents of and burgesses were ready to ap- point another man to the position.
 Despite the fact that other mem- |bers of the department benefittted by this, most of these members were not in the political spotlight

Sparks Fire Roof

Sparks Fire Roof The blaze at the home of MT. and Mrs. Raymond Harkins of Can dee road yesterday morning was due to sparks setting fire to the roof of the house, Fire Marshal Michael F. Shea has announced after an investigation. About $5,000 damage was done,' the house being com- pletely destroyed.
 The occupants on arising started a fire in the kitchen stove and sparks going up the chimney ignited the roof, the fire marshal stated. Hope for Improvement
 Those who make habit of at tending meetings of the board of warden and burgesses hope that ad- vice given by Martin O'Brien at the meeting Tuesday night to the bur- gesses will not be wasted. It was to the effect that burgesses speak in louder tones so that the specta- tors can hear.
 Of late the burgesses have dis cussed matters in so low tones that even reporters at their shoulders have to lean over to catch the dis cussion. This is mostly habit for there is no intention to keep secret the matter under discussion, in most cases.
 But there is no doubt the entire board is at fault in this respect. The onlookers come for the pur- pose of hearing what is going on, many of them having quite an in- terest in several matters. It is provoking for them to spend two or three hours sometimes wait ing the matter in which they are particularly interested to come up, and then not being able to hear what is said.
 AstOnished at Tones Members of the board of welfare many of whom attended the bor- ough board session Tuesday which l followed the welfare board meeting, expressed astonishment at the low tones in which the borough board members discussed matters. They pointed out after the session that at welfare board meetings, discussion was given in tones loud enough to be heard by any spectators. Of late the discussion has been in low tones at borough board meetings, except when tempers get hot and then most of the spectators can hear the talk. There is no doubt the public has right to hear what is going on. Some residents point out that every year plea is made around election time for citizens to take axl active interest in their gov ernment and vote.
 But what is the use of taking any interest if you can't hear what

 George Young to Retire
 George P. Young, who is retiring after 45 years of service in the U. s. Rubber company here, was pre- scented with a handsome travelling bag last night at the meeting of the factory council. John J. Burke made the presentation.
 MT. Young is retiring in Novem- Der. Since the inception of the factory council, he has worked very closely with council members. Mr. Young is very popular among Rub- Der company employees. He has given excellent service while in the company and has made many friends.
 He served for 27 years as assessor here and is widely known. For 8 number of years he was industrial relations manager, in the factory, the position now occupied by Rosser Donley.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-16

MT. Young will leave Naugatuck about Nov. IS to spend the winter with his son, Donald Young and family in Texas. He will return next May.
 The first works progress adminis- tration projecs in Naugatuck will start next Monday, Christian Groh, EZRA official said today. The money to continue this project, started as an EZRA project, is now available.
 In order to keep within the amount available a number of work CTS now there will have to be taken off. It is possible some of these will be transferred to the Dunn avenue for graveling.
 Final approval of more local WPA projects is expected soon.

REV WAIGHTS G. HENRY
 Waights Henry, assistant Inin- ister in charge of religious edu- cation at the Bunker Hill Con- gregational church of Waterbury, is a true Southerner at heart. Born and brought up in Alabama, he is capable of interpreting the section of the country from which he sprang; and he reveals the South in very attractive way. MT. Henry has more than a Southern accent; he has the Southern humOr and sympathy which make what he has to say intensely appealing. He will ad- dress the Popular Sunday Even- ing service at the Methodist church here this coming Sunday night, October 20, at 7:45 o'clock. He will present a Southern theme, and those who have been South will be happy to have it brought once more to their minds; while to those who have not yet gone across the Mason Dixon linc," MT. Henry's informal talk will be 8 revelation.

Affects Other Things

Affects Other Things Some observers feel the situation is now beginning to have its effect on other things. The refusal of board members to second motion made by Burgess Victor Burkus that two planning WPA projects which would provide clerical work with little expense to the town for goodly number of jobless, is taken as an indication of this.
 It was rumored, without confirma- ton, that the other five burgesses have agreed not to second any mo- tion put by Burgess Burkus. And as Burgess Burkus appears to be the only definite burgess on whom Warden Sheridan can rely consist ently for support, this places him in the embarrassing position. AL though returned to office by a con- siderable margin last spring, he is not sure of support from all the democratic burgesses on vital issues.
 No apparent reason for refusal to second the motion was given. There was considerable discussion but all questions brought up were answered by the warden who had been the first to suggest the pro- jects. Although the action did not mean the projects are rejected, it being permissible for them to be taken up at later session, it does mean a delay for them.
 If this apparent political animus is allowed to further interfere with measures, it may hinder the admin istration program considerably many foo1

simply voted exoneration by a five to one vote.
 The friends of the fire chief feel that if charges are made, they would be sustained by the board similarly.
 Warden Gains
 Warder John J. Sheridan is con- tin ing to enhance his reputation as quite political strategist. He cer- tainly did not come off second best in his discussion with Burgess Tracy Noble over the investigation at the fire house. By his invitation to the general public to investigate conditions at the fire house, if they so desired, he made the issue a more public one.

is going on?" one, resident said to- day. Many hope discussions will be loud enough for all to hear in the future. Two or three years ago spectators had no difficulty in fol- lowing the discussion.
 Distribution of federal food here here is much less than at the same time last year, the September re- port of the welfare department shows. Distributions are twice a month now. During September 132 pounds of roast beef was given out and 230 pounds of hamburger. Po- tatoes grown at the local town farm and federal prilnes have been dis tributed thus far this month. Last month 92 families got mattresses which went to 386 persons and two got towels. These are federal sup plies for distribution to persons on the relief list.
