Ruth Contest Winners
Thrilled BySeries Tilt

Babe Ruth Contest Winner
NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-WelL
my opinion of the first World
Series game is that the Yankees
should have won, although Carl
Hubbell pitched q wonderful
game of ball.
Where the Yankees lost was
in the eighth inning when
HubbelI was at bat with two
men on bases. His blow took
a funny hop away from Lag
zeri and CrOSetti recovered it,
throwing badly to. the plate to
cut off q run. Dickey recOv-
cred the ball and threw badly
for the second error and two
runs counted.
That broke the backs of the
Yankees, for previously in the
same inning the Giants had
scored two runs on two hits
and two bases on balls by
Ruffing, one of which he did
ON purpose.
I was certainly awfulIy glad
to see Jake Powell do SO well.
was very fond of his playing
when he was in Washington.
He certainly indicated himself
for being traded for Ben Chap
man by his hitting in yesterdays
game. Too, have come to be
very strong for Chapman who
put so much life and spirit into
the Washington team after he
Joined them in 1mid-SeaSOn.
1 think Gehrig will soon do
better in the series. The two
home runs by George Selkirk
and Dick Bartell were hair-rais-
erS.
There's no use talking, Frank
CrOsetti played a great game Of
ball as did Bill Terry, Mel OFT
and Gus MancuS0. The catcher'S
throwing is perfect.
Last night Mr.. Miller took us
to Radio City to watch the broad
casts. The Empire State Build

Babe Ruth Contest Winner
NEW YORK, Oct. l. The
spirit Of the World Series was
dampened somewhat by the
steady drizzle of rain that drove
the bOx-hOlders and bleacherites
to cover. But from my protected
seat in the grandStand where
Billy GOettIing, the other Times
World Series trip winner, and
myself sat, right close to Babe
Ruth, 1 did not get wet.
The World Series Is the great
est sport show that I have ever
seen and 1 have enjoyed every
minute since I got on the train
night before last with Mr.. Mil
Ter. Commissioner George AL

us off to the series.

and all the great names that go
to make up . World Series
thrilled me beyond my widest
dreams. / was totally disguised
with the Yankees. Every player
except Powell played below par.
Carl Hubbell's pitching was
superb, particularly In tho tight
spots and that Burgess White
head is the greatest defense
player I've ever seen, although
Mr.. Miller says while I was still
living in Louisville OssiO Bluegs
owned that title.
However, despite HubbeIl's
8 strike outs and the Z scat
tered hits he allowed, all Of the
credit can't go to him. Gus
ManCusO handled Carl like q
baby in the pinches and helped
him pitch out Of hole after hole.
Bill Terry tucked his whiSkers
in his blouse and played like .
19-year-OId boy, despite one bum
leg. 1t hurt me terribly to see
the Yankees blow up in the
eighth inning like . balloon
pricked with a needle. However,
the YankS went down fighting.
In the ninth they were trying to
slug the ball out Of the park, but
Hubbell had them dribbling to
the infieId.

that featured in fiction only by privileged few
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-10-01

LeemanS, who proved himself
the Super-All-America in his pro
feSSional debut at Chicago, and
again on the Polo Grounds in
New York, spoke over the air last
night on college football as com
pared to the professional variety
Of the game.
PROS ARE BETTER
"The professional game is bet
ter" fluffy said to the audience
of the ether. "The players have
mastered their game and play it
harder. When they charge to
block they don't merely charge
to q man, they charge through
him. They take him out and
they keep him out.
1.-THE Giants are going to play
this game for all that's in it
tomorrow night and SO far as 1
am concerned, the fact that l
played two or three years with
some of the boys on the ALL
Stars will make no difference to
me. am out to win and, just as
far as am able, will win over
the AH-Stars if possible"
Tuffy is cast with a noteworthy
team. He will be surrounded by
not merely one star, but all stars
with not an outstanding individual
among them.
Tonight Leemans will have
blocking he's never had before
with big, hard-driving Dale Bur,
nett taking the blocking backs
position against the All-Stars.
Burnett is second to none in all
football as a blocker.
fluffy may not pass as much as
he did when you saw him playing
for George Washington. The
Giants have probably the best
paSSer in big league football in
195-pound Ed Danowski, the
former Fordham Ram. DanowSki
will also do the kicking but you
may expect to see LeemanS lift
the passing and kicking burden
from DanowSki's capable shoulders
now and then.
Held Dodgers
After watching the All-StarS play
the Brooklyn Dodgers week ago,
Leemans and other Giant players
attending the game were i'm
pressed with the local teams Of
Tense. LeemanS declared last night
that the All-Stars would have won
if the game had lasted a few more
minutes. Brooklyn. however, won
out in the last few minutes with
Bobby Wilson, the former South
ern Methodist jack-rabbit, carry
ing an intercepted pass so yards
for a touchdown. The whistle
ended the game, according to Eye
witness LeemanS, with the local
All,StarS earning first down on
the Dodgers 8-yard line.

OTHERS VIEWS
ASKS AID FOR YOUTH.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
The President of the Federation for
the Welfare of Children, G. E. Greene,
has appointed me Chairman of its
Committee on Recreation, as Chair
man of this Committee I am appeal
ing to the people of the city to sup
port a recreational program which
has been planned to include every
white child from six years old up and
every youth of the Henderson town
ship.
A budget carefully worked out by
people in the community who are
most expert in the various fields of
recreation totaling $1,000 was APPROX
ed at a meeting of the Recreation
Committee on March 16. This money
will be handled by member of the
Committee, Mr.. r. G. Kittrell, who
has consented to act as treasurer. 1t
will be used in three ways. First, it
will provide supervised play for all
children to - years old for thirty
hours a week during June, July and
August at North Henderson, Central
School, South Henderson, and West
End; and it will make provision for
such equipment as balls, bats, nets
and the like. Then the money will
furnish adequate equipment for base
ball for every 10y in the township
from II to II who wants to play ball
at one of the four centers to be pro-
Vided in West Henderson, East Hen
derson, North Henderson, and South
Henderson. The third way the money
will be spent will be to erect at North
Henderson a log, or pole, hut and
equip it in order that the boys and
girls of this section of Henderson may
have quarters of their own as the
boy and girl scouts have. At another
time the boys and girls of South Hen
derson should have like provision
made for them.
I have asked various citizens of the
town to write in more detail about
each of these projects and some to
write about the need for adequate re-
creation for our boys and girls in a
general way. Beginning today the
Daily Dispatch has agreed to carry
these articles throughout the week.
During the week letters will go out
to the various civic groups and ap-
peals will be made to other agencies.
I believe that the City of Henderson
values its boys and girls enough to
meet this need as the most progress
sive towns and cities everywhere are
beginning to do.

Chairman, Committee on
Recreation.

MOUNTAIN ''BALDS"
CAUSED BY INDIANS
New Theory Advanced for
CRASHES Plots on Peaks
Over South

College Station, Raleigh, March go
"A theory that Indian camps wer e
responsible for the "balds" now found
on the SUBMITS of many southern
mountains has been advanced by DR..
B. W. Wells, professor of botany at
State College.
Writing in the March issue Of
Science magazine, DR.. Wells said:
ITO plant biologists in the eastern
United States, the origin of the grass
talds has been an unsolved riddle If
natural forces have been involved.
why haven't much larger areas.
gone over into balds? Balds are mere
dots on the mountain landscape"
DR.. Wells pointed out that possibly
Indians established summer camps on
the tops of certain mountains, and
that after the camps were abandon
ed, oatgrass grew over the camp sites.
Under the climatic conditions of the
high ridges and mountain tops, he
stated, the grass has been able to re-
sist the invasion Of surrounding for
est and trees and to a marked degree
the shrubs as well.
He supported his hypothesis with
the following statement:
Indians preferred the ridge trains
for travelling and hunting The grass
balds are generally located on broad
ly rounded ride or knob tops (never
on sharp ridges useless for camp pur-
poses) and on warm southern ex
posures of these Unusually good
springs may be found at or near the
lower margins of the grass areas"
He also stated that in disturbed
areas in certain balds he has observed
the order Of plant succession which
leads to oatgrass. This succession
does not follow the destruction of for
ests by logging or by fire.
The same order of plant succession
may be seen along high altitude trails,
he continued In fact, many long trail
sections are linear grass balds.
DR.. Wells is now working out his
theory in greater detail and hopes it
will go far in solving the riddle of
the Southern Appalachian grass
balds"

Many Drivers Lose Licenses in Week,
Making Total of 2,182 Under

Raleigh, March 30.-The permits of
88 drivers were revoked last week by
the highway safety division of the
State Department of Revenue. bring
ing the tOtal number of revocations to
date to 2,182, it was announced today
by Ronald Hocutt, assistant director
of the division. Most of the 88 licenses
were revoked because of drunken driv
ing or reckless and drunken driving,
although one was revoked permanent
ly because of incompetence. The di-
vision has authority to revoke perma-
nently the driving permits of those
found to be incompetent, such as
epileptics, and other persons who are
mentally incapable of driving an au-
tomobile.
In cases where the driving licenses
of persons convicted of drunken driv-
ing are not sent in to the highway
safety division with the notices of
their conviction, a letter is sent to
each driver asking him to surrender
and send in his license. If this is not
done in reasonable length of time,
highway patrolman is sent to take up
the license.

Allies were counting on Russia to de-
liver a mortal blow to Germany. But
all the efforts had not affected the
most important problem of the Rus
sian communicating the soldiers
morale.
There were now 100000 Russians
facing 100000 Germans and Austro-
Hungarians on the maine front, with
another quarter million in reserve.
But the mineral advantage was not
enough as long as the morale of the
ranks was what it was. The Russians
facing the Germans had to beat eli
matte conditions as we'll as the enemy,
as they were hurled into the offensive
being pushed to relieve the pressure
on the French at Verdun. Spring
floods were raging, and in the neigh
borhOod of Kolki, Russian first line
defenses had to be abandoned be-
cause of high water.
1t is noteworthy that airplanes were
of little use in this particular cam
paign because ground conditions
made landing fields few and Doggy,
and fog precluded observation work.
