weakening. But with Gerhig having one oi the best seasons of his long career and showing no signs of being ready to wear out, the Yankees figured there was no use keeping the youngster in tow.
 Mccarthy has not been a sensa- ion ct the plate but that in 8 measure is due to the fact that he has been handicapped by badly Injured thumb And then, too, there $ plenty of classy pitching in the International locp this season. Ter y is convinced that the youngster will hit after he has chance to work on him and iron cut couple of faults he observed in his style at the plate.
 Mccarthy looked like real pros pect when the Brooklyn Dodgers had him two years ago. He became the property of the Yankees when he was released to Newark last aebruary in the deal that sent Buddy Hassett to Brooklyn.

 Giants Get Yankee First Sacker
 The Giants settled their first-base problem for 1897 when they bought John Mccarthy from the Newark Bears. The youngster is one of the flashiest fielders in the game and will fit in nicely at the Polo Grounds. Terry took time out to scout Mccarthy personally and is satisfied that he will do.
 The Newark club is Yankee farm and had Mccarthy in line to take over Lou Gerhig's job when the Iron Horse showed signs of

SPORT SL.ANTS

Manager Bill Terry of the New York Giants rturned to the firing line in the recent series with the Chicago Cubs because some of the Giant players preferred it that way and intends to remain in the lineup as long as his knee stands up or at least as long as the fellows feel better about having him in there. It proved a master ful move on the part of Terry. Not only did his potent bat help out materially in taking three out of four games from the Cubs, but his presence on the field bolstered the teams spirit.
 Most of the Giants realize that their managers knee is in no con- dition to stand the strain of hard fought games at this stage of the race, but at the same time felt their chances of scoring over Chi cago in the crucial series would be greatly enhanced as long as Bill was in there swinging with them.
 They preciate the risk of permanent injury Terry is invit- ing and are playing their heads off for him in return. Terry will get a lot more out of the Giants for the move.
 Terry is undecided as to playing in the World Series, should the Giants head the National League parade. It all depends on how rap idly Sam Leslie recovers from the abdominal injury which has hamp- cred his play around first base in recent games. Terry feels that Les lie has earned the right to take part in the World Series and wants him to have the chance but once again he will let the members of the team decide and act accord ingly.

Series by allowing the overflow crowd to jam the outfield For a few extra dollars, they point out, the Cubs management invited SCOT ing opportunities for the Giants when fly balls, which would have been easy outs on a clear field, were turned into two-base hits by landing among the several thousand spectators who were allowed to squat on the grass.
 The fact that the Cubs had the same opportunity but failed to make as much of it as did the Giants is of no concern to the scribes. They are interested only in the fact that several ground

was appointed to the Baptist church in Plainville, where he still holds the post as' pastor.
 Last June, he began e series of programs over station WATR known as the Way of The Cross. He is now making plans to ob- serve his first anniversary on the air after fifty-two weeks of broad- casting. Radio work is not hob- by with him |. He feels that through the Ynicrophone he can reach Q good many people who for some reason cannot or do not go to church. Tze feels that radio can be effectively used to be of definite value to the church. The Rev. MT. Brown told your bio. grapher that the spiritual messag- es sent into the homes of radio listeners are of incalcuable value and benefit to those who hear them.
 On November 18th, 1927, MT. Brown took as his bride, Miss Grace '. Childs of Mcriden. The Browns have two lovely children .. Donald Edwin who will be 6 next August, and Marion Joyce who is to celebrate her third birthday this month.
 Mrs. Brown has been quite in- terested in Christian Endeavor and church work, but ct the pres- ent time she devotes more of her attention to the children 30 that she cannot be active in the church.
 The Rev. John L. Brown has 6 very unusual hobby. He likes fire fighting .. It's very rarely that there's . fire In Piainville but that he's right on hand, not as Q mere curious spectator but he actually assists in battling the flames. He is now serving as one of the fire commissioners for the town of Plainville, ct no salary incident- ally, and is also Q deputy to the State Forest Fire Warden. Unlike most people who chase fire on. zines, Mir. Brown does not crave excitement, but is more interested in doing all that he can to cut down the tremendous toll of dain- age brought about by fire. He has been officially connected with the fire department in every town in which he's worked.
 He's Q peaceful, home loving man. All of his recreational time is spent in the company of his family. Naturally enough, he chooses, for the most part, books and periodicals of a religious na- ture for his reading. Occasional ly he reads the Readers Digest in order to keep abreast of the times.
 He likes all good things to eat, enjoys watching out of door ath- letic contests, and is truly Q mans man.
 So friends, we come to the end of another biography. Tn accord ance with your suggestions we have chose Q neighbor from one of Waterbury's near by towns i. We've presented word picture of a man whose steadfast belief in the church has inspired many members of his congregation to follow the path of righteousness end good. A man of God who tempers his spiritual messages with common sense philosophy easily understood by the man in the street. The Rev. John L. Brown, Q true man of god.
