Many Veteron Pros Tense
Under Tourney Fire

Sometimes the players are a little
tense, especially the young profess
slonals, and while it doesn't help
them to be that way. you can't al
ways blame them. After all. this is.
IN some cases, their bread and butter
and in others-where the player has
fairly good job-it is the gravy
that goes with his bread and butter.
So missed puts or drives that 20
aWry or chip shots that miss the
green are serious matters.
They are serious, too, for the
veterans, of course. But the veter-
ans have learned to take it a little
easler-most of them. Not all of
them. l know veterans who have
been walking up hills and down
again IN these open tournaments
for many years who are just as tense
and just as jittery as they were the
hrst time they ever showed up in
such company.
To these players the tournament
is a terrific ordeal, but they can't
give it up because it offers a chance
for a wider fame and the kind of
money they want.

Mccarthy Now Is Hoist
By Own Petord

Mr.. Greenberg's omnibus first
baseman's mitt has long been the
talk of the American League. Joe
Mccarthy, manager of the Yankees
when he had nothing else to beef
about used to beef about that.
What have you got there-a but
terf1y metz" Mr.. Mccarthy would
snarl at Greenberg, pointing to the
glove.
Mr.. Greenberg, his feelings hurt
would reach into the mitt, pull out
q good book and begin to browse
through it, ignoring Mr.. Mccarthy
Mr.. Mccarthy then would beef to
the umpire, who would beef back at
Mr.. Mccarthy.
1t was good, clean fun until the
day the Lands Office decided to at
tack the glove problem with gun and
pitchfork.
I'VE are going to clean up the
glove question" said Judge Lands.
Fine" said Mr. Mccarthy. That
will teach that big Greenberg not
to carry his bed around in his left
hand"
I'VE also will clean up the gloves
on your club" continued the Judge
Tell the boys to get that barbed
wire out of there"
WHAT barked Mr.. Mccarthy
mot even little innocent barhed
wire? No webbing? No sticking
plaster? This persecution will play
hob with our defense. my friendl"
Some of the boys find it hard to
keep from laughing at Mr.. McCar-
thy. the old Greenberg- batter, who
now is hoist by his own petard. But
nearly every fielder in baseball has
doctored his glove to some extent
and the regulations are vague and
the confusion is general.
We deeper thinkers have decided
that the best thing to do is lie low
and let it blow over. which certainly

lrepressibIe Dobson
Eoses Pressure

In the locker room these fellows
may be either dour or garrulous-
coming in, changing their clothes,
getting drink or a bite to eat and
stunning companionship. Or. in an
effort to break down the tension
they feel, they may laugh and clown
between rounds.
One of my favorite club house
characters always has been Leonard
Dobson, an almost fabulous golfer
who, having wound up nowhere in
tournament, is likely to take the
winner out the next day and pin his
ears back.
Dobson doesn't know the meaning
OF pressure or tenSeness and is
very entertaining young man. He
has been almost everywhere, has had
some hilarious adventures and de-
scribes them in patter-and with
gestures-reminiscent of the vaude-
vile stage. He is a sure cure for
the clubhouse blues and has broken
the strain for many harried player.

Armour, Hagen, Sorozen
Attroct Audiences

The men to whom the bunch
listens most attentively, however,
are Tommy Armour, Walter Hagen
and Gene Sarazen. They have the
three qualities that engage the
listener. They are experienced,
poised and articulate.
believe that if Tommy Armour
applied himself to the writing of
golf he would be the best golf writer
IN the world, since he is master of
both golf and the English language.
But since he is too busy to write ex-
cept once in great while, the next
best thing is to listen to him talk
and you generally will find the big
gesu group around Tommy's table at
lunch.
Hagen and SaraZen have a thou
sand stories to tell and tell them
well. But they-and this goes for
Armour. of course-are interesting
not only because of the stories they
tell, but also for the soundness of
the advice they can give if asked for
it-and 1 never have known any OF
them to turn down a player who
went to them for help.

londis' No Fences
Stuns Greenberq

In order to build on a piece of
ground, you should own the land,
and Mr.. Greenberg was already
dickering with his employer, Walter
Briggs, for the purchase of most of
the real estate surrounding first base
In the Detroit ball park when word
reached him from Judge Lands
office that fences were out.
mo fences" said the edict tersely
mo fences?" said Mr.. Greenberg
stunned. mo parapets, stockades,
dikes. classmates, buttresses, van
fosses, counterscarps, walls, buffers.
breakwaters, bulkheads, stiles or
dams? No palisades?"
Correct, in every detail,' said the
Lands Office.
But If you take my glove away"
said Mr.. Greenberg. what is going
to become of my iron defense? Do
you want me to use flypaper? Do
you want me to bait traps?"
This is the problem which the
highest authorities in baseball now
are mulling over as hard as they
can null, with not much relief in
sight.

Hanks Mitt Triumph
Of Modern Science

This mitt is a triumph of modern
science. 1t contains:
l. Three lengths of barbed wire.
q -Four corner pockets and two
side pockets, as on pool table.
3, A fishnet, rod and reel, hoe,
shovel and trowel.
4. A small but select library of
standard classics.
5. A compact anti-aircraft gun, to
bring down high throws.
6. A change of clothes and
pocket comb, for Hank is dapper
fellow who likes to be prepared for
emergencies.
When they threatened to take
this glove away from him, Mr..
Greenberg was not disturbed at first,
for he had long been contemplating
a change in his defensive tactics
anyway.
What Hank planned to do was
build a three-Slded fence back of
and around first base, with wire hen
coop netting stretched above it to
take care of the higher tosses from
Mr.. Pinky Higgins and Mr.. William
Rogell. The ground within the
stockade would be funneled out, so
that the ball, hitting against any
part Of the fence, would automati-
cally roll into the center of the pit,
where Mr.. Greenberg could pick it
up and touch the bag at his leisure.

BOYCE DISCOVERS
CLUB ROOM FIRE
Serious Blaze Narrowly
Averted in Lincoln Build
ing Today

The timely discovery of blaze by
Charles Boyce, of East Main street
early this morning narrowy averted
a serious fire in the Lincoln build
ing at South Main and Grand streets
when f1remen by quick action con-
fined the flames to the Albanian
club room where is originated.
The Lincoln building also houses
the Lincoln restaurant, the Ferna-
DEE ice cream parlor, and the Corn
Liquor store on the fist floor; and
tailor shop and barber shop on
the second floor. A loan company
is also located in the building.
When the first piece Of apparatus
arrived at the scene. flames cast a
glow from the interior of the Al
bantam club rooms on the second
floor, and before the fire vas check
ed the clubroom walls were SCARED
and a corridor leading to other Sec
ond floor rooms had been damaged.
Water damage to women,s dress
goods In the LeClair Dress Shop on
Grand street was extensive. Fire
Marshall Dennis j. Lahey and Lieut..
Eugene A. Legge investigated, while
the men were directed by Acting
Chief Martin j. Campion.
Cause of the fire was attributed
to a cigaret or cigar butt dropped
near waste paper in the Albania
rooms.

a considerable public element on
both sides of the Atlantic who scoff-
ed at Freud or considered his
theories essentially Goddess. He had
nut scanty followings in Latin coun-
tries, found comparatively few ad-
herents in his native Austria and,
after Hitler gained power in Ger
many. was on the prescribed list
of the Nazis. Great Britain and
the United States were his chief
strongholds.
1t was DR.. Freud who first broad
cast the theory that all the mental
ills of humankind could be traced
directly to civilizations restraints
upon sexual impulses. People gen.
orally were slow to take to this idea.
but in the years following the World
War his adherents became numerous
and constituted veritable cult.
Freudians began to talk about their
"complexes," became conscious of
"repressions" and chatted glibly
about ''inhibitions. As the cult
spread thousands set themselves up
as psychoanalysts and probed into
the thoughts and even the dreams of
patients.
DR.. Freud held that dreams were
an attempted outlet for ideas and
impulses, held back in the subcon-
sclous mind by inhibitions.

August BruehI, 80, Retired
EmpIoye Of Star, Dies
Native Of Capitol
Had Never Missed
inaugural Parade

August Bruehl, 80, retired printer
and makeup man for The Star for
43 years, died yesterday afternoon
at his home, $50 Massachusetts ave-
nue. NV, after an illness Of several
months.
Mr.. Bruehl, a native OF Washing
ton and member Of the Association
of Oldest Inhabitants, fell i'll last
spring and spent several weeks dur
ing the summer in George Washing
ton Hospital.
He left the hospital a few weeks
ago, evidently preferring to spend
his last days in the home he had
occupied longer than his oldest
neighbors could remember.
Mr.. Bruehl retired from The Star
in 1923 after witnessing the revolu-
tionary development Of the me.
chanical end of the newspaper pro-
duction since the days Of hand-set
type. He entered the composing
room in 1880 when only IA printers
were employed there.
Former Carrier Boy.
Prior to that time he was a carrier
boy for The Star. Mr.. Bruehl was
born at 502 Eleventh street NV,
near The Star Building, and never
worked for any other concern. It
was said that he missed only one day
from work in 80 years.
Mr.. Bruehl was retired at the age
of Ga, hale and hearty and anxious
to spent the remainder of his life
fishing and hunting. He enjoyed
good health and a number of out
door sports. his friends said, up until
the time of his final illness.
During his long life here, Mr..
Bruehl never missed an inaugural
parade. He saw every President
after Abraham Lincoln ride down
Pennsylvania avenue.
The early inaugural parades he
viewed from "grandstand seat" in
the front window of his home at
1205-1207 Pennsylvania avenue NV.
Evening star., 1939-09-24

Later he saw them from The Star
Building.
There was something about an
inaugural parade Mr.. Bruehl used
to tell his friends, that made it
different from others. No two were
alike, he said, and he got fresh
thrill out Of every one.
Enjoyed Roosevelt Parades.
In particular he enjoyed the in
augural parades of Franklin D.
Roosevelt because they took their
character from the personality and
appearance of the President.
Mr.. Bruehl, a member of Colum-
bia Typographical Union, No. 10l,
had a lively interest in the affairs of
the Association of Oldest Inhabi-
tants. Many Of the members were
his boyhood playmates ana none
had a keener interest in the Capital
whose development he had witnessed
over such long period.
Mr.. Bruehl. his neighbors said,
has no survivors except, several
cousins. Funeral arrangements had
not been completed last night.
