Bench Warming
By Burdette Kinne
Post Press Sports Editor

States will stay out of this world
war. so perhaps We can proceed
with our program to build bodies,
instead of destroying them. as they
are doing in Europe these days.
4 Handy Chap :.
Bucky Walters, Cincinnati Red
pitcher, is a handy guy to have
around in case you're trying to turn
out a winning baseball team.
Witness the Reds game against
the st. Louis Cardinals Tuesday.
The picture was something like
this:
St Louis was four games behind
the Reds following their win over
Cincinnati the previous day. The
Cardinals apparently had the I'm
dian sign" on Cincinnati because
they had won six. tied two and
lost only one in the last nine games
played against Cincy.
But Walters. who had already
turned 81 of Cincinnatis IA vic
tories. pulled his belt little tight
er around his lean body, and step
ped to the mound to pitch.
For nine innings he twirled. held
St Louis to one run, but his team
mates had given him only one
score. so he took the matters into
his own hands in the first extra
inning.
He spanked a single into left
field to score two runs, then again
blanked st. Louis in its half of the
inning to win the game. 81, and
return the Reds to their vantage
point of five games in front Of the
Cardinals.
Walters. by the way. was con-
yerted from a third baseman into
a pitcher. He was a good hitter a.
a third -sacker and still is. because
his average is way above the 300
mark.
So if you need winner, call for
Walters-But come to think of it,
YOU had better have about S250,0oO
along because I don't think the
Red management would be inter
es.ed in letting Bucky go for less
than that.

.Gr'idders Prepare
For Opening Prep
0nMondayNight

Those youngsters you see running
around the high school track, past
your country home and up the city
streets aren't fighters conditioning
themselves for an important bout,
but instead are Coach Larry Han
sons high school footballers, pre-
pairing for what many observers
believe will be a successful season
at Ell Centre high. '.'
Practice starts at four valley high
schools Monday night and there's
a group of football players at Cen
trail who do not wish to repeat
their experience of first night prac-
tice last season. -' f''
Hanson, who believes in thorough
conditioning of football players to
avoid injuries and to obtain max
imum performance. annually sends
his charges through a week OF stiff
practice sessions. Those athletes
who have not started conditioning
find the going a bit on the tough
side, so most of the boys are ready
ing themselves for the ordeal.
At Calexico, where the Bulldogs
will defend their grid champion
ship, Coach Coyington plans to
start things slowly. Only limbering
exercises are scheduled for the
first week. Some reports indicated
Covington might not open prac-
tice until Sept. 10.
Holtville and Brawley coaches,
Walker and Loughborough, how
ever. mapped programs similar to
that of Larry Hanson. Walker ex-
pected about 80 candidates for first
week practice, Loughborough an
ticipated a turnout of at least 40
athletes.
Thirty-six boys have been sum-
moned for first workouts at Ell
Centro.
Imperial Valley press., 1939-09-06

game, SET lucSQaY nlgnC, was posi-
poned by rain and additional down.
pours made the scheduling of
Thursday nights engagement i'm
possible.
League officials indicated that
the series will probably have to be
finished next week, even if three
games have to be played in a five
day period.
The three game stand in one
week would hinder the chances OF
Calipatria's Beer BaronS because the
northenders have but one pitcher
Billy Patterson and Joe Hurst will
spell each other on the mound for
the Hardware.
In the event the FL Centro-B -Braw-
ley all-star game was delayed one
week. the final two games of the
annual championship series may be
cancelled.
Ell Centre leads 2-1 in the series
at the present time. The Stark
men won the first game 80, dropped
the second to Brawley, 4-3, then
won the third. 20. Joe Hurst
pitched all series games for FL Cen
tro Vernon Hare of Jndio and
Eddie Meyers Of San Diego worked
in the pitchers box for Brawley.

Hollywood Edges
Sacs in Only Game

Hollywood edged out slender
2-1 victory over Sacramento Tues

duled for the Pacific Coast baseball
league.
Each side got run in the fifth

There's One Sad Cincy
Member-He Thinks Of War
By GEORGE KIRK SEY

NEW YORK. Sept. 6. lUP)-Just
the other day while Europe was
girding itself for war, l ran across
Hank Gowdy in the Cincinnati
clubhouse at Ebbets field prior to
night game between the Reds
and Dodgers. Hank, lean of limb
and face, had come back to his
locker to change sweat shirts after
pitching batting practice.
The ball players around him were
laughing and joking but Gowdy
was heavy of heart and gloomy
about the future. His thoughts
turned to % years ago when war
clouds hovered over the United
States.
Hank. now so. does not like to
talk about his experiences in the
World war. He was the first major
league ball player to enlist in the
United States army, but he never
prided himself on that achieve
ment. He left the Boston Braves
in Cincinnati June /, 1917. for Col
umbuS and enlisted the same day.
He left for France in October and
arrived in Paris in November. He
was in the fighting at Chateau
Thierry. ST. Mihiel. The Argonne
and other sectors where American
troops saw action. Later he was
with the army of occupation along
the Rhine. He did not return to
this country until May, 1919, and
Immediately rejoined the Braves.
Its a terrible calamity facing
the world" said Gowdy ITS hor-
rible to even think of the mutila-
ton of the youth in another war"
Gowdy looked sadly at Whitley
Moore Tipping a towel. at Billy
Myers laughing, at Bucky Walters
ribbing a teammate and the other
Reds in jovial, carefree moods.
He shook his head and said
These are the boys that will have
to suffer. Fine young fellows just
like these in Germany. Poland,
France and other European coun-
tries. I only pray that we can stay
out of it."

aid Tribune'S fourth annual charity
football game.
Sports Editor Stanley woodward
picked the Pittsburgh varsity as
the nucleus of his 1899 all-stars in
hopes of furnishing an answer to
that old question that has con-
fronted the football world since the
rise of the professional game:
would a first rate college eleven
beat top-notch pro OUTFIT"
This question never has been an
swered satisfactorily because of the
impossibility of getting any one col
lege team on the field against the
professionals. With nine Pitt men
in the starting lineup, however, to-
morrow nights game should fur
nish an adequate answer.
Woodward did not stop with pick
ing Pitts players. He also named
the resigned Jock Sutherland to
guide the all-stars destiny this
year. It has been reported that
Sutherland is anxious to return
to his former football affluence
after a year of practicing dentistry
and that he is out to give the pros
licking tomorrow night. If he
shows the all-stars to a victory
over the Giants he probably can
name his own price at any of a
half-dozen high-paying institutions
next year.
More than $4,000 persons will do
their bit for the Herald Tribune's
fresh air fund and see the fourth
in this series of games-all won by
the professionals. The Giants are
fresh from 90 victory over the
All-Stars, picked in a nationwide
poll at Chicago last week.
The only non-Pittsburghers III
the All-Stars' starting lineup will
be Don Campbell, Carnegie Techs
great tackle, ana Sid Luckman, Col
umbia's passing star. The rest of
the men will be all old Panthers-
Fabian Hoffman and Bill Daddio
at the ends. Elmer Merkovsky at
the other tackle; Steve Petro and
AL Leeson at guards; Bob Dannies

NEW YORK, Sept. 6. (UP) -
Final notes on the Davis cup:
There still is a chance that the
Australian players will play in our
national championship at Forest
Hills before sailing home for war
duty.
There are only two berths avail
able on the S. S. which sails from
Los Angeles September 13 and the
Australians do not want to reach
home in relays

the cup as team, and we want 10

Captain Harry Hopman said in ex-
planning that ne planned to call
Australia for permission for the
team to remain here until they
could all return together.
Philadelphia policemen are still
interested in finding the vandals
who tore down the British and
Polish flags atop the Merton Cricket
club stadium, where the challenge
round was played, and daubed Hell

Truth compels one to say that the
general brand of tennis played at
Merton over the weekend was the
poorest in Davis cup history.
There was not a great player on
either side and except for Quist s
performance in the doubles and IN
his singles match against Riggs
the play was very mediocre.

He notes that in the examination
of the patient in 1889, the patient
was studied by the division Of phys
iology of the circulation and of the
physiology of respiration, which
consists Of two sections. The chemi-
cal study was conducted by five sec
tions in the hospital. The constitu-
tional clinic had two sections, which
consisted of one to study the physl-
cal condition of the patient and one
to study the mental attitude.
To my mind, however, the one doc
tor who studied the patient in 1908
had a better understanding OF the
human being who lay in bed sick
than all the nine sections which
studied the patient in 1889.
After all, the most sensitive in

being is the mind and the under
standing Of another human being.
