Gehrig C|outs
Ninth Homer
Of Season

Who is going to stop the
Yankees?
There might not be a ready
answer for that one, but it is
easy enough to say who is not
going to do 1.-THE Cleveland In
dams.
The extremely potent current
edition Of the RUPERT rifles
yesterday made it six straight
for the season over the tribe,
which gradually, but unmistak-
ably, is shedding early season
pretenses of being an American
League pennant contender, leav-
ing the race, for the time being
anyhow, to the Yanks and Boston
Red Sox.
The Yanks remained 215 games
in front by whipping the tribe,
4 to 3, while the Sox were out
lasting the Chicago Sox, 8 to 6.
Joe Dimaggio, the Little BAN,
of the Yanks, made two of the
six hits allowed by Lefty Lloyd
and stretched his hitting streak
to 18 consecutive games.
Gehrig Plays 1,7OOth Game
Lou Gehrig, iron horse first
sacker who has defied broken
bones in all of his fingers, a
broken toe, head cracking bean
balls, an operation for bone chip
in his elbow, lumbago and other
maladies, played in his seventeen
hundredth straight game, stretch
ing a streak started when he first
joined the club in June of 1925.
He emphasized the achievement
by hitting. his ninth home run OF
the season. It was a fluke, which
sent Joe Vosmik into an adagio,
tailspin and full-length sprawl
as the ball sped by him in left
field, but it was homer, never
theless, a glee-inspiring smash for
1000 customers.
Finally, as his contribution to
to gala festivities, Lefty Vernon
Gomez indicated that he had
found his fast ball again. Back
from sore arm convalescence, the
noble CaStilian gave the Indians
only five hits and took the pitch
ing duel away from Brown on the
Yanks' three-run rally in the
eighth.
Red SOx Take Seventh
The Red Sox won their seventh
straight, in turning back Chicago
Jack Wilson, 23-year-old Rookie,
was credited with the victory al.
though he was yanked in the
ninth.
The st. Louis Cardinals domi
mated the days doings in the Ma
tional League, with Dizzy Dean
pitching his tenth victory, beating
the Giants, 9 to 2, and increasing
the Cards lead to four games.
Mel OFT hit his tenth home run
in the sixth with Terry one base
to account for the Giants runs
Otherwise, Dizzy was the master
The Bees beat the Reds by 10 to
4 to regain fifth place in the stand
ings, but lost Gene Moore, the
classy right fielder, who collided
with Berger on a fly ball and in
jured his shoulder. Moore pre-
viously had hit a home run.

Griff Will Pay

BY FRANK BUCK" ONEnL


The rubber band definitely is
off the Clark Griffith bank roll
as the Washington baseball club
steps into the open market for q

a pitcher with ability comparable
to that of NewSom, he will match
the check handed over to the st
Louis Browns last year. In fact
he will even exceed that offer il
he can get the right man.
Since the Washington Club paid
$40, 900 for NewSom, Griffith'S en-

"Such an injury, particularly
for a pitcher, calls for a long

Murphy is rushed back into

that may put him out Of base

"The Red Sox have Grove as
their ace. But who else is there
to carry the Red Sox burden?
They are going to need a lot Of
pitching before the season is
over.
"Who knows how well Rowe
will come back?" demanded
Griff as he warmed to the sub
ject. "Well, Bridges hasn't
startled the world SO far this
season, and if Rowe fails to pitch
up to his standard of last year,
the Tigers will be on their heels.
"That is why I say the rubber

Incidentally, Revolta's Z at the

Shute'S first 5 at the fifth came
from a misdirected approach that

Revolta, meanwhile, went bad
with his putter, missing a 4footer
at one green and 3-putting at an
other. He finally lost control
altogether and finished with Z
and a S.
Ghezzi started weakly, barely
reaching the first green in three
after hitting a tree. But when he
holed 15-footer for q birdie at
the ninth, his pace accelerated
promptly and he was going great
guns at the fifteenth with six
straight pars.
At the fifteenth, his tee shot was
pulled to the left edge of the green
and he just missed a deuce from
so feet.
Mangrum Improves
Mangrum, his main rival, i'm

and was one under par for the
next six holes. Paul Runyan, four
strokes back this morning, was SO
to the turn. So was Ralph Guldahl,
who started three strokes back.
And Harry Cooper, who had
only one stroke back, was also SO
at the ninth.
Runyan remained even with
par at the short 10th, having
opened his round with a four-foot
putt and a birdie at the first and
then just missing a 10-footer for
another birdie at the 10th. He
three-putted the eighth for a s,

Misses First Par
Mangrum missed his first par
at the fifth where he was over the

but failed to get it down.
Denny Shute took 81 to the turn

Charley Kocsis took 80 to go seven

Both Walter Hagen and Gene
Sarazen were one under par going

IS TROUBLE MEN
 ALWAYSOND DUTY
Prepared for Any Elmer. gency; Brave Elements,
 Face Dangers

An indispensable unit of the Con- , nectlcut Light G Power Co.'s ef- ficient organization is the squad of nine trouble men, ready at any hour of the 24 to cope with emergencies that can be handled by one man. In their emergency trucks they car- " the necessary tools and equip- Fnent to answer trouble calls on short notice.
 Trouble calls from the homes ot customers make up the major duties of this unit. They are equipped to quickly clear up difficulties with electric and gas service. Frequently they find only minor trouble, such as a burned wire or other small de- feet in appliances as sometimes oc- cur through misuse or undue wear. They do nothing with wiring, which lies in the province of the electrical contractor.
 Follow Fire Trucks
 The 24-hour trouble men are a courageous lot. They are the men in the cor1pany's organization who respond to fire calls, going out with the fire department and enjoying the some rights as fire truck or police car because 1t is essential that they reach the scene of trouble with the firemen. In the interest of safety of property, as well as of the firenien and occupants of the prem ises when there is a fire or other disaster, the gaS or the electricity or both must be shut off.
 This emergency trouble service is continuous 24 hours day, winter and summer, and in spite of snow and cold. Tn the picture on this page, the trouble man is making his call under the best of conditions, bright sun, smiling skies. But their work allows them no choice of wea- ther.
 24.Hour Service
 The trouble men meet efnergen- cies and clear trouble on the streets and on the premises of customers If the job is of such Q nature that one man cannot deal with 1t alone, he calls out the line gang, who or rive with larger equipment and tools to clear 1t up.
 The trouble men are on eight hour duty but between them they cover the 24-hour period of each day. Woodbury, Seymour and Naug- atuck each have their trouble men. Stevenson and Monroe have one be- tween them.

Connecticut Light e POwer Co. s NeuO Quarters Formally Opens
"49 LeavenwOrth St." Becomes Significant
 Address in City

Beginning today, "4e Leavenworth' will be an address destined to be- come ever more widely known to the people of Waterbury, particularly women. It will carry 6 new signi- ficance, for 1t will symbolize Q re- constructed and enlarged business Office that will mean greater con- venicnce, comfort and efficiency for the company, the employe and the customer.
 These new facilities really consti- ute an entirely new business set- ting, enbodying the advanced fea- lures found only in business inter- tors of very recent construction.
 But "49 Leavenworth", in the minds of the women of Waterbury, will stand for something else, of greater importance, of larger signi- ficance to them, than merely a very modern business building. Tn the home service auditorium, just few steps inside the ornamental iron doorway pictured on this page, will lie the opportunity to see and ex- perience home-making under ideal conditions, regardless of the cold of winter or the oppressive heat Of summer.
 New Auditorium
 The home service auditorium is readily accessible, situated on the street level, just a few steps beyond the entrance, "4o Leavenworth street" The auditorium is fully air-conditioned for all seasons of the year. Tn summer, moisture Is removed from the air and the air itself is cooled before it is delivered to the hall. Tn winter the process is reversed the air is heated and humidified before 1t enters the 1au- ditorium.
 But air-conditioning is by no means all that has been provided to contribute comfort and deep serse of restfulness. The lighting, often overlooked as 8 major factor in creating ideal conditions when air-conditioning is installed, is scientifically correct. Seeing with comfort" is quite as important as feeling" comfortable. Ventilation temperature and humidity control insure perfect physical comfort. Lighting in the home service audi torium has been planned particular ly to assist good vision and to pre- vent the discomfort caused by glare, that is, exposed light sources. The unusual eye comfort made possible by concealed light sources in the au- ditorium is one of the notable fea- lures of this new institution.
 Complete Comfort
 Even more has been done to in- sure complete comfort to guests in tho home service auditorium. New struction have been Incorporated in the design. Echoes and noises are, by some strange magic, eliminated; {; the hall is strangely quiet and con- ducive to relaxation. These ideal conditions are complemented by an unusual floor, made of a new ma tefIal that is both sound -deadening and resilient.

"Mr. Duryea, give Us your ideas on the best kind of electric drive for that new machine we're going 70 install in the lower end of the mill" said a Waterbury industrialist to one of the Connecticut Light Q Power Co.'s application engineers Q few days ago. "You power and gas engineers have the knack of seeing the problem from our angle aS well as from your own interest In selling more gas and power" he continued. That's high-grade salesmanship."
 Tt may be good Salesmanship," rejoined MT. Dlryea, "but our first responsibility and duty is to help you to get the best application results from the power you are buying. 4 satisfied customer means much to us."
 That was true. The first duty of the Connecticut Light 6S Power Co.'s application engineers is to acquaiTlt customers in their field with the most advantageous utilization of tho gas and power they buy.

 More than 2,100 Connecticut fac. tories and other industrial estab- lishments take power and gas for their manufacturing operations from this company. Similarly . large number of commercial firms depend on the Connecticut Light & Power co. for their services.
