CHICAGO CUBS TAKE HEART AS
 LEE WINS 18TH
Giants Lead Cut Half GameAlmada Shines
 Against Ex-Mates
Ry GEORGE KTRKsEY


 United Press Stan CorFespondent)
 New York, Sept 8.-(UP)-The B. Chicago Cubs filters were ended to- day by big Bill Lee, one of the most superstitious players who finally won No. 13.
 Five times Lee went after No. 13 and was beaten. Something hap pened every time he went after No 13 and Lees jitters were transferred to the Cubs ranks They tossed ball games away until the Giants caught and passed them.
 As in five previous blowups, Lee got away to 8 long lead yesterday against the Cardinals. The Cubs made four runs in the first inning, but Lee suuandered the lead and the game was tied at the end of the fifth 5-5.
 It looked like the same old story but big Bill suddenly got hold ot himself after Don Padgett's homer had tied the score, and held the Cards hitless in the last four. in- nings, retiring 12 men in order.
 The Cubs triumph cut the idle Giants lead to 2 1-2 games and gave Chicago its 1lth triumph in 1S games against St. Louis this season Sheriff Blake went the route for the Cards, and was rapped for Il hits.
 Brooklyn trimmed the Boston Bees, Gel, in the only other National league game. Fred Fitzsimmons, aided by the stellar relief pitching of Roy Henshaw, won his sixth game. Fat Freely allowed only six hits in seven innings but had to re- tire when he injured his finger. Cookie Lavagetto hit a homer.
 Washington won a doubleheader from the Boston Red Sox, 11-5 and 5-4, in the only American league game. In the opener the Senators rapped Walberg, Gonzales and Ol- seon for 16 hits, including homers by Sington and Lewis and triple by Wasdell, Jimmy Deshong yield ed Il hits in scoring his 18th vic- tory.
 Jim Wasdell's spectacular catch of Jimmy Foxx's long drive in the ninth inning saved the second game for Washington. Three double plays also hlped Monte Weaver and Ed Linke pull through although they gave up l2 hits. The Senators made only nine of Johnny Marcum.
 YESTERDAYS HERO-Mel AL mada, Washington center fielder traded by the Red Sox in mid-s . son, who tormented his ex-mates by driving out six hits-scoring two runs, driving in three, stealing a base and catching five flies.

TRONSKY, BEARDSLEE
 BEAT WHITE, GRASSO
Special to The DemOcrat)

Thomaston, Sept. 7.-Nick Tron- sky of Willimantic, No. 2 ranking duckpin bowler of the U. s. and Lee Beardslee of Thomaston were just 50 pins better than Jack White of New Haven, U. s. Sweepstakes champion of 1885 and Frank Crosse of Thomaston, in a special match inaugurating the new bowling sea- son here tonight at the Thomaston Bowling alleys. A large and inter- ested crowd Of alley fans were on hand when the foursome started rolling, Tronsly proving 22 pins bet- ter than White, the pair tieing for high single of l45 and Beardslee spilling % pins more than Crosse. The winners hit TIA against a 694 total for the other pair. White sand wiched in a weak lO4 between strings of I22 and l46 which brought his average down considerbly while Tronsky started with i45, dropped to iI8 and wound up with a re- spectable l3O for 3e3. Gross's best effort was TIT, while Beardslee had a good string of l33.

Au-Star Diamond Squads Picked By Baseball Writers
By ERNEST BARCELLA United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff COrrespondent)
 Boston, Sept. 8-(UP)-Members of the Baseball Writers Association of America had their all-star se- lections in the mail today.
 So, if the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Baseball Fans and the state ballot law commission don't mind, here's the way we voted |:
 lf-Joe Medwick (Cardinals)
 cf-Joe DiMaggio (Yankees)
 rf-Paul Waner (Pirates)
 1b-Lou Gehrig (Yankees)
 2b-Charley Gehringer (Tigers)
 Ss-Joe Cronin (Red SoX)
 3b-Red Rolfe (Yankees)
 c-Gabby Hartnett (Cubs)
 p-Carl Huboell (Giants)
 p-Lou Fette (Bees).
 VarietIy
 It might have been a lot easier to pick the entire Yankee team and let 1t go at that, but who wants to be charged with discrimination? As it is, our dream team" includes three Yanks-which must be the minimum these days what with the Bronx basherS so far in front that one wonders if there are still seven other teams in the league.
 On six of the 10 choices above there is little room for dispute Medwick, DiMaggio. Waner, Gehrig Gehringer and Hubbell appear to be virtually unanimous choices. The same cannot be said, however, for the other four. EFT.
 And Besides
 For the shortstop berth, there are such worthies (besides Cronin) as Cecil Travis of the Senators, Dick Bartell of the Giants and Bill Jurges of the Cubs. Cronin gets our vote, however. because of his great comeback. For one who has trou- bles enough piloting the Red Sox, Joe is playing his best game in four years
 Red Rolfe gets the nod over third seekers like Mel Ott of the Giants Harland Gift of the Browns, Buddy GgWAo VA tAtR kGAt1b0ke NAlu tNAAhE Higgins of the Red 6ox because he is consistently dangerous in the clutch and because he Is 6 real spark plug in the devastating Yan+ kee machine.
 The catching berth Is . toss-up between Hartnett and Bill Dickey of the YankS. Hartnett wins the vote because he not only is great catch- CT and 6 great hitter. but can run 6 ball club and do Q slick job of 1t.
 Pitching for the weakest hitting club in the majors. Fette has chalked up i7 wins SO far this year. For that reason, fl for no other. we pick him over Red Rufing Of the Tanks, Roxie Lawson of the Tigers. Charley Root of the Cubs and others who have an offense to back up theig pitching. Tn our book, Fctte gets c close fight for the honor from his teammate and roommate. Jim Fur. ncf, who tries for No. i7 today.

WATR Ramblings
BY JIMMY PARKER

Tonight at 800 WATR brings to its listeners once again the music of Harry Owens Orchestra in the program known as Hawaii Calls. Harry'S unique style of directing and arranging has become as pop ular as the maestro's recent Ha- waiian song success, Sweet Lei landi". The introduction of brass and woodwind into a Hawaiian Orchestra is certainly an inno- vation, and the results are more than surprising. Harry'S program tonight will feature many of the songs that listeners have asked for.
 Good news .. One of the pleas ant surprises to be given listeners during the opening week of WATR's new studios is the re- turn to the airwaves of Dorothy Jones, one of the city's most pop uIar piano artists. Dorothy will appear twice weekly, Mondays and Fridays at 6:3O o'clock with a program of modern melodies, so listen for her.
 Arthur J. Durr, heating expert, will be interviewed on heating prob lemS during the early morning news broadcast over WATR to- morrow morning at 8 o'clock. For cleverly written, excellently produced drama, dial WATERS Front Page Drama tonight at 8:30 o'clock. Bob Parker, tenor, will present several recent song successes in his ten minute pro- gram over WATR and the Inter city Broadcasting System tonight at 7:35.
 Wednesdays the night when swing enthusiasts rush through dinner in order to listen to the smart rhythm of Watcrbury'S WPA Dance Band. T0night's pro- gram features several of the new hits as well as the usual seasoning of perennial favOrites. Presented under the baton of Michal Man cini, these mid-week brOadcasts are becoming increasingly popular with local dial twisters.
 The baby of WATR's schedule .. the newest program, in other words. seems to be building up quite an audience, judging from the response after only two days on the air. The program referred to is "Muslc and Stuff," Water bury,s eye-opener, on the air Monday through Saturday at 1:sO Weather reports. correct time e,i- nouncements. sriappy music. AIla just stuff" are featured in Che half hour.
