Wallace Plans Another
Suing In Middle Wes1

WASHINGTON, Oct. g. Up -
Henry A. Wallace, the democratic
vice presidential candidate, lunched
with President Roosevelt today and
said afterwards that he would leave
here next week on another swing
through the middle west to be fol-
lowed by a campaign in the east.
The trip into the middle west. he
said, will take him into Ohio, Illinois
and Wisconsin, and the eastern
swing will include Massachusetts,
and possibly other states although
Wallace said he did not know def
nitely as to those.

Wadsworth bill, unless some need
arose for greatly increasing the
armed forces beyond a million.
In the meantime, say the sideline
experts, the army is going to have
a throw at the psychological effect
of letting the boys enlist under re-
quirements and for a term of serv-
ice that are no more stringent than
1t they waited for their selective
service call.

Chase Takes Lead--St Stokes A StandOut-
 tile Results
BY HUGO CHoP-CHoP


 Not that 1t was pre-arranged, for 1t couldn't be, but tho bowling lead- CTS of the Industrial and Mercan- tile leagues absorbed as nice a going over as Tony Galeno got from Max Baer, in games last night on dif- ferent drives. When the rolling was through for the evening, the following situation was prevalent:
 Chase Metal replaced American Brass as Dusty League 1edaers, when the former won three games from Oakville and the latter team, two games in front, was white-washed three straight by Waterbury Manu- featuring which had all three games of 600 or better.
 Tn the Mercantile loop, Mohican Markets, two game leaders held its edge over Speedy Parcel, but only because both teams dropped two of three games, Verriker Paintment shellacing the Mohicans 2 of 3 games, while Fulton Markets came to life and did the same thing to the runner-up Speedy Parcels.
 StandOuts
 Benny Stokes of the Blake and Johnson team, Industrial league and Beebee Messina of the Mercantile Metros wered the standouts in com- petition. Messina had 165 high singe and 426 set for high three; while Stokes 157 and 422 set was good for two top honsr in his loop. Another odd feature of the Ameri- can Brass Shutut was the loss of the second game by one single pin, 610 to 609 though the Brassies were far off form getting just one of u4ree games over the 600 mark.

'YAWKEY CONTROLS
 LOUISVILLE CLUB B
Red SOx Owner Buys Out Two Partners For
 Unnamed Sum

New York, Oct. 16.-(UP)-Tom Yawkey, wealthy owner of the BoS- ton Red Sox and Frank Mckinney, Indianapolis banker, meet today to complete transfer of the entire hold ings of the Louisville American As- sociation club to the Red Sox mag nate.
 Mckinney and Yawkey, who each own one-third of the club along with Donie Bush, former major league manager, made preliminary arrangements for the purchase yes- terday. The sum involved was not disclosed.
 Logical Move
 "The chief reason for the sale,' ,' Mckinney said, "is the fact that my lifelong friend, Bush, has been ill most of the time since we went into the project while I'm primarily a banker who hasn't time enough tC devote to the club"
 Louisville led the American As Sociation in attendance the past two seasons, breaking the league record with total of 311 900 in 1899 The Colonels finished fourth both years and won the playoffs each time. They defeated Rochester for the Little World Series title in 193S but lost to Newark in this years Little World Series.

the National league is not better than an even bet any time the playoffs start. This would seem to dispose of the claim that the Amer ican League is one team league.
 So much for that. Many of the clippings which have been returned to us deal with our review of the series. One of our observations was that Bartell and Gehringer had gone back SO far they no longer could make double plays. It was our revealing notion that this was one of the reasons why the Tigers lost the series. Pertinently one Sterling Dawson of Chicago writes: "Whege were you all season7 How did is happen that you had to walt until the World Series was over to find out that BaFteii and dehringeS couldn't make double playgf"
 A fair question. We suppose VI were just dumb about lt. wed like t0 mention that we saw the Tigers play only three games all season lthe final three against the Yankees in petroit) but this no doubt would come under the head of what 0lli aforementioned admlFeg, H D. calls our ability to ailbi, co we'll skit it. Anyway, the Tigers won two Ol those thFee games and ali teAnii ! look pretty good winning.

Lynn Waldorf Of Northwestern Is
 Coach of the Week.
By HENRY SUPER
United Press Staff Corresponds

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Oct. 16-(UP)-His over-publicized team was the worst of his career last year so this sea son he hauled out the crying towels and the world wept with him. The United Press presents him today as its football coach of the week.
 Lynn Waldorf of Northwestern.
 High and mighty Ohio State champions of tn Big Ten, was roll ing along in high, figuring to win the title again. But last week it went up against Northwestern-a team according to Waldorf, that didn't have a chance-and Ohio finished on the short end of 6--3 score.
 Waldorf, son of Methodist Epis- copal minister, has had some bad teams in his years of coaching Ok lahoma City university, Oklahoma Aggies, Kansas State and North western. But the one at North western 8 year ago was his worst On his squad he had the famed Bill Decorrevont, his tackles were big and his ends swift. But somehow that team failed to click and won only three games, lost four and tied one.
 Line Clicks
 The answer to Waldorf's success this season, according to experts i1l the Big Ten, is that this years bunch of boys is determined to make ur for last years failures-and that sNorthwestern's god backs finally are getting some help from a line that fels like playing football.
 Decorrevont, the All-America bust of 1889, finally has found his stride an dis running with more experience and deception than he did a year ago.
 Another reason is that the players want to make good for Waldorf whom they call "Pappy" and "Jovia. Lynn"
 Waldorf is a graduate of Syracuse university. He doesn't believe ir rousing pep talks in the locker rooms He believes in quiet appeals to the players intelligence.
 That system mus twork because he took a summer school course at the Northwestern School of Speech tt improve his speaking. He was giver grade of "A" and look what hap pened to Ohio State.

Toque and Turban
Fashions Arriving

Coming in are a series of toque
and turban fashions that suggest
the quaint bonnets worn in the six
ties. You wear them back of the
pOmpadour and the inspiring note
about these little chapeaux are they
are becoming to youth and to the
not so young, as well. In fact for
the matronly type these turbans and
toques solve the pompadour hat
problem perfectly. An older woman
who could under no circumstances
venture to wear a wide brim posed
back on the head such as the teen
age delights in, finds that the little
draped toques are a triumphant so
luton.
Also there is comfort in the
thought that milliners are designing
smart hats that are intended to dip
over the brow, that tune to the new
style demands every whit as smart
ly as do the excitingly new pompa-
dour effects.

Trends for Autumn
See Some Changes
Slim Silhouette Expected to
Be a FavOrite.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Style program for the coming au-
tumn and winter announces a de-
cided silhouette change. Straight
line, slim-as-a-reed, needle-narrow,
slim-wise lines are taking the place
of youthful flares. Not that flares
and moderate fullness has entirely
yielded to the slim silhouette but
there is movement toward narrow
er smart suave lines.
Most exciting too, is the narrow
skirt, street length as well as for
NAL evening, that fits snugly to the
knees where it takes on a pleated
f1ounce. This will probably be of
little interest to the conservative
dresser, but youth will seize upon
the idea with enthusiasm.
As to sleeves, the smooth-over-
shoulder dolman sleeves are making
their appearance in the newer coats
and gowns. We still have pockets
with US but they achieve a new
look in that they are fulled and
manipulated so as to puff out some
what, in some instances quite con-
spicuously.
Pleats and fullness are not out of
the picture but they are handled
deity to give the impression of Slim
ness. For the larger woman, fash
ion introduces an ingenious treat
ment that preserves a slim appear
ance at thesame time ample fullness
is achieved in bringing a group of
pleats or tucks to left-side hip in
one cluster.
The new side Grapes are the big
feature that dress designers are en-
phasizing in advance modes. Some
are frankly like side-saddle Grapes,
others are manipulated in various
ways always to accent the one-side
effect.

A WORD For nae HOUSEWIFE

n w OhD FOh lHE HUI SEW 1T Il
For some unknown reason people
seem to expect the woman who stays
at home to be always well-groomed.
They take the attitude that she has
nothing more wearing to do than sit
in an easy chair manicuring her nails,
brushing her hair and Dreaming her
face, and possibly exerting herself to
the extent of taking a few setting up
exercises now and then. They COM
pletely overlook the havoc that dust
ing, dish-washing and general house
hold drudgery play with the hands
and nails, to say nothing of the all
around "ungrooming" that follows a
day of house cleaning.
One Hour For Beauty
The woman at home must learn to
budget her time just as well as her
sister in the working world. She
should do her work at scheduled times
and have at least one hour that is
sacred to beauty. Into that hour she
should pack her routine beauty rites
she should exercise care for her hair
and face, touch up her manicure, and
keep herself generally in trim. Then,
if she is wise, she will indulge herself
to the extent of an afternoon nap. She
needn't necessarily go to sleep-just
lie down and relax if only for twenty
minutes. 1t will give her renewed
energy and a fresh grip on her days
chores. She will rise in a much
pleasanter frame of mind and better
able to cope with the problems of her
family when they return from work or
school.
Hints to Preserve Beauty
Besides this hour devoted to repair
ing the damages caused by homework,
the woman at home can adopt a few
simple tricks to save her beauty. A
large mans handkerchief or an old
