United Pre.s Stan Correspondent

tied as he did his high school homework.
 The canary chirped in its cage, and the scottie parked and fro- licked,
 marveled at the bravery of Witt and his courage in hiding his ren- dezvous with disaster. Because that is what he was. Cleveland is the burial ground of baseball managers. Roger Peckinpaugh went there and left a beaten man. Walter Johnson went there and two years later am- bled through the exit gate, thor oughly crushed. Steve ONeill tried it for 8 year and half and now he's looking for a job.
 Now Witt has signed to manage the Indians and bare his scalp to the hatchets of the board of direc- tors. Composed of bankers, railroad men, paint tycoons, and merchants, this board starts second guessing the manager at 2 8. m. (eaStern standard time) and, without even Q stop during the seventh inning stretch, continues its work until 2 a. m. the next morning. Nothing a manager does suits the board. If he calls the infield in, the board of directors wig -wags the players to get back. If he signals for hit and run, the board of directors waves for a double steal. The board does not even approve the counter clockwise movement off the drinking fountain handle.
 asked Witt if he knew all of this.
 He said he did.
 "Yes," he answered. T have heard all about that. But sonny boy, Cleveland will play ball for me. If the boys don't like that, there will be @ shake-up that will be a shake- up. There probably will be one, anyway. And Witt won't be fired until two years are up, win, lose, or collapse. Because I've got con. tract that calls for that long, and it's a civil contract, not a baseball one. But we are not going to lose or collapse. We are going to win. I'm winning manager"
 The man talked on in this vein for anohetr plate of frankfurters, for roughly half an hour. His enthusi- asm Is tremendous. It's enormous. No sophomore ever went to bat against his schools old rival with more spirit than Witt shows for the Cleveland job.
 His life long ambition has been to manage big league club. Other wise he hardly would have quit Newark which wins pennants by 25 games, to take charge at Cleveland, baseballs elba.
 Witt has definite ideas about Bob Teller, the sensational Iowa farm boy, with the blazing smoke ball.
 "Feller won't be Sunday pitcher with me in charge" Witt said. Hell pitch whenever want him to. He's good pitcher, but he's going to be better one under me. Bob will pitch when Witt says 50. Nobody else will have anything to say about his work"
 In other words, Oscar Witt is go- ing to boss the Cleveland ball club.
 That will be novelty, even If he finishes in last place. Even if he can't beat the other clubs, beating the board of directors will be no mean accomplishment.

SUNNY WALDRON
 BACK WITH GEMS
Running Guard to Join Club Sunday for Provi-
 dence SteamrOllers

Naugatuck, Nov. l7.-Stu Clancys Naugatuck Gems will tackle the strong Providence Steamrollers at Recreation Field Sunday afternoon. The Rhode Island club will come to the borough with reputation as one of the outstanding teams III professional football and whose cur rent record has only been marred by a tie game with the Danbury Tro- jans. The Steamrollers are the old est organized professional team in the the country still in existence and football fans hereabouts are well acquainted with the reputation of the Providene outfit which in past years, never had to take back seat to the best teams anywhere.
 Sundays game will be the fourth consecutive tough one for the Gems and in order to strengthen his crip- pied squad, Coach Clancy has signed six new players who will make their debut Sunday against the Rollers. It was 6 sad day for the Gems when thA New York Yankees had to re- call the players who were loaned to Naugatuck as 1t left the locals con- siderably weakened for the most im- portant contests which loom ahead.
 No one in the borough will deny the fact that the small Gem team gave remarkable and courageous exhibition last Sunday against Bris- tol but still all the rooters have been saving that had Sid Smith and his mates been in there to help Dick Tuckey out, the outcome would have been all Naugatuck. The Shamrock game in which the Gems came back to almost pull 1t out of the fire proved that the Gems with all hands on deck, are better than any other club in New England,
 The suicide schedule which Clancy has arranged since he succeeded Curley as business manager has raised havoc with the Gem record but the fans have been clamoring for tough opposition and Clancy Is really making good his threat to play only the best. The Steamroll- CTS have a reputation to uphold when they hit Naugatuck and their management has assured Clancy that his best men will be ready for the opening kickoff on Sunday.
 Sunny Waldron, running guard, who has been out of action for three games, will see service Sunday and the ball carriers In the Gem back field should romp once more as Wal dron was responsible for their early season success. A banner crowd of three thousand fans will be on hand to welcome the Gems back to their home grounds after the battle in Bristol, 1t is expected.

theirs of joining the Daughters OF
the American Revolution. There
are more thousands upon thou
sands of American men who have
not yet joined the Sons Of the
American Revolution.
Every American who takes an
active part in either one Of these
patriotic societies is helping to
keep alive that national recollec-
ton" which as Edward Everett.
the friend of Abraham Lincoln,
truly said 'fs the foundation Of
national character"
Among the patriotic detectives.
for example, of the D. A. r. are
"to perpetuate the memory ana
spirit of the men and women who
achieved American independence"
and to strive for a wider knoWk
edge among the people OF the
counsels and admonitions Of the
Farewell Address. To the same
high purpose the efforts Of the
Sons of the American Revolution
and other units in this group OF
patriotic societies are directed.
TRUE AMERICANISM
For those Americans whose
forebears arrived in this country
after the Revolution there are
other patriotic societies doing an
equally valuable service in helping
to keep alive the remembrance Of
the heroic sacrifices, hardShipS
and arduous labors Of all those
who in peace and war have
helped to build, defend and sup
port and prosper the America
that is ours today.
These patriotic societies, which
include, of course, the veterans
organizations made up Of our de-
tenders with the Colors in all our
wars, and of their descendants.
will each make a distinctive con-
tribution to the celebration OF the
150th birthday of the Constitt1'
ton.
Membership in any one Of These
societies offers an opportunity for
those who become members to
unite their efforts with those Of
their friends and neighborS to
make the sesquicentennial celebra-
ton worthy Of the great event II
will commemorate.
There are other patriotic Socie-
ties too numerous to mention here
which are doing their part to
quicken the households Of the
nation with the spirit Of true
Americanism-the AmericaniSm Of
the founders and fathers" Of the
union and Of its defenders In
every generation - regardless OF
race or religion or walk in life.
Some of these societies are made
up Of Americans by birth. Others
are made up of Americans who
are none the less Americans be-
cause they are citizens by choice.
To increase the membership in all
these societies which have as their
common purpose a wider knowl.
edge and a more intelligent and
loyal support of the Constitution
would be to add greatly to the
success of the sesquicentennial
celebration of its adoption.
