UNITED Press STAN correspondent
Cincinnati, Oct. 7-(UP)-Goofy
Gomez goes today.
1t was a matter of Gomez going
against the Reds or going crazy.
Less than week out of the hoSpi-
tai, and bound with enough bandages
to make a full dress suit for a num-
my, Gomez has been beside himself
(and beside everybody else who had
any chance Of influencing Manager
Joe Mccarthy for chance to pitch
in the world series.
The world series is Gomez meat
If may turn neat cliche. He has
pitched six games against the Ma
tional league champions, and has
yet to be defeated. When he was
suffering intensely from torn stom-
ach muscles last week only one per-
son, other than himself, thought he
would manage to work against the
Reds. That was Bill Dickey, his bat
terry mate.
eff Mccarthy doesn't figure to use
Gomez this SERIES" Dickey told me
at the stadium week ago, then he'd
better buy a lot of chains and cage
and put Lefty in it. Because he is
rarin' to go, ailment or no ailment
And I'll betcha he'll be in there"
Lefty or Vernon or Goofy, or what
ever you choose to call him has been
a man of action, If not man Of few
words, ever since he joined the Yam
KEGS 10 years ago. The first time he
was called on to pitch he amazed
the spectators, his teammates, and
the enemy, by racing at break-neck
speed from the bullpen to the box,
which is almost Pullman Jump at
the stadium. 1t took him Ave min
utes to recover his breath.
Shortly after this his teammates
began calling him Goofy and he
never has let down those who nick
named him. Not long after he joined
the club, he was pitching in close
game at Boston. With q man on
first base Gomez suddenly turned
and whipped the ball to Tony Lag
zeri at second.
Tony was astounded and demand.
ed to know why.
"Well," said Gomez, Everybody
has told me how smart you are and
wanted to see you pull something
clever"
Once, returning from an exhibition
game in Montreal, the customs in
Spector passed through the Yankees
car, asking If anyone had anything
to declare. He received negative
answers until he reached Gomez.
"I've got something to declare -
Gomez said. "One hundred and
ninety pounds of DOPE"

Ruf1ng did it with sore arm.
Monte Pearson did it with an all
ing shoulder.
Lefty Gomez tries to do. it today
with a sore side.
Gomez, the man who never has
lost a game In the world series,
pitches for the Yankees this after
noon and it's not likely he will come
up with anything but victory.
He has gone six times in the world
series and six times he has come
back with the scalp Of the foe. He
has just been freed of yards of adj
hesive tape, he has strained a mus
Gle in his right side, but he goes
today-maybe with a polo belt
around his waist. It will be up to
Senior Gomez himself whether he
wears the belt or leaves it in the
club house. Manager Joe Mccarthy
told him so yesterday when the New
Workers worked out at Crosley field.
Belt or no belt, people who fol-
low baseball closely, like the senior.
He has control that can thread a
needle. He has a clipper" that
breaks toward the body of right
hand hitter. His regulation curve
Is above average. According to the
averages, he ought to be on top OF
the Reds hitters all day.
The big score against the senior
is that he never has won game
in the park where the game will
be played this afternoon Crosley
field. On midsummer afternoon
in 1888 he lost to Johnny Van Der
Nicer in the All-Star game.
Van Der Nicer was a young, fresh
Shaven kid and that is the kind of
man Gomez pitches against today
He pitches against Junior Thomp-
son, who few months ago was no
further along toward the big leagues
than Columbia, s. Gin the Sally
league.
Thompson, now No. 8 man on the
Reds staff, carries the whole Job
for the Reds today. He has a sweet
swinging curve, a good fast ball and
nice control.
Whether Thompson wins or loses
depends on how the Reds hit. Their
hitting has been bad. They have
made six hits in two games.
But listen to what one of the top
men Of the Reds has to say about
the boy who goes against the Yanks
today-listen to big Paul Derringer.
1.-THE kid is as good a pitcher as
I am. All he needs is some runs"
How many runs? Well, quite a
few If the Yankees power means
anything.

Favorites Today
In $4,000 Race

New York, October 2. - (UP) -
More than a thousand were called,
but only seven chosen today to go
over the Rainbow Road of the 50th
Belmond futurity after the biggest
pot of gold that can be won by a
two-year-old horse.
The seven came out of 1,074 ell
gibles to compose the smallest field
the futurity has attracted since
1889. Yet even from this handful,
the men who chalk up the odds gave
only two of the seven chance of
hauling away the $4,000 prize.
They were Colonel Edward Riley
Bradley's Bimelech and the Mills
dale stables Andy K, one a highly
gifted heir Of royal turf family
and the other an ailing son of a
ragamuffin sir. Bimelech is backed
by breeding and tradition; Andy K.

makers one asset, balances the other

ried and sort of hardened to it's trials,
and when they have adjusted them
selves and ironed out their difficult
ties, they may venture to live with
mother. But they should never be
rash enough to try it when they are
young and inexperienced and their
very souls are sore with the disap-
pointment of discovering that mar
riage isn't the picnic they thought it
was going to be; that it hasn't
changed them into two souls with
but single thought, as they thought
it would, but has left them a very
human man and woman with opin-
ions that clash oftener than they
jibe, and with about million things
to quarrel over.
If they are alone when these fights
occur, they kiss and make up. The
little woman cries it out on her hus-
bands shoulder and he calls himself
brute, and its all over. But if his
mother is on the sideline telling him
to assert himself and not to give up,
or if her mother is behind her
warning her not to let any man
make doormat of her, it is the
beginning of the end No mother
can resist giving advice even though
she knows it makes the recipient
fighting mad. Nor can she keep
from pointing out Johns faults to
Mary, or Mary's weaknesses to John.
The young, who are ccoksure of
themselves and jealous of their in
laws anyway, resent even the Slight
est criticism, so there is the mischief
to pay. Homes are broken up, mar
riages wrecked and enmities formed
that are never wiped out.

Dorothy Dix Says
Fatal Mistake for Newlyweds
To Live With Either Parents

Dear Miss Dix-So much Is said
about the iving-with-parents prop
osition that 7 want to offer my ex-
perience for the warning OF other
young couples who are thinking of
trying it. My husband and l lived
with my parents for a year after we
were married and twice it. almost
ended in divorce for us. MY mother
was always feeling sorry for me be-
cause I didn't marry a man who had
plenty of money and good job. She
was always doing things to aggra-
vate him and in the arguments that
arose, Of course, I took mothers side
and thought he ought not to mind
her criticisms and advice, so there
was constant Squabbling. At last
my husband rented an apartment
and, although I wanted to wait until
he was making more money so that
we could have a better one and
everything we wanted, we moved.
Since then we have never had a
serious quarrel. l learned that it
was better to do without few things
and have peace and quiet, and I
would not again 60 to live with in
laws, either his or mine, if I had to
live on the city dump Mother has
changed her feeling toward my hus-
band, too, and today they are friends,
but we can't forget our first year
with her. ONE WHO KNOWS.
Answer - Every young couple
planning how they can marry on
shoestring, and thinking perhaps
the way out is to go and live with
mother and father until they can
get on their feet, should give prayer
full consideration to this letter.
For its message to them is don't.
Whatever else you do, don't take
your bride or bridegroom to live with
your parents. If you do, ninety-nine
times out of a'hundred you start
family feud that lasts as long as you
live, and that turns a relationship
that should be happy and helpful
into one that is filled with more
bitterness and heartaches than al
most anything else on earth. Some
how in-laws just don't mix. No
matter how good and kind and we'll
meaning they are. they can't a. ,imi-
late. There is always in the COM
bination that drop of the gall of
jealousy that turns the milk of hu-
man kindness of their natures into
clabber.
Later on in life when man and
woman have got used to being mar
