Gornicki's Slab Feat
Brings Great Joy
To Rochester
BY the Associated Press.


If a popularity poll were taken
among Rochester baseball fans to-
day, the only candidate with an out
side chance of beating Hank Cor
nicki probably would be Jack Frost
If he could be found.
For Gornicki stopped the rampag-
ing Newark Bears with four-hit
pitching performance last night, and
at the same time he stopped the
Red Wings slide from the 1nterna-
tional League heights. His 20 shut
out triumph increased Rochester's
lead to three games.
Winners of 10 out of IL games in
the past week, the Bears had cut
Rochester's lead from seven to two
games.
Another victory last night would
have halved that slender margin,
but as result of Hanks hurting
Newark still has good bit of win
ming to do before it can take first
place.
Meanwhile the third-place Balti-
more Orioles split double header
with Buffalo and dropped within a
game of the Jersey City Giants, who
nosed out Montreal, 5-4.

Soose is Good Workman
But Boosts No Title

I don't know if you followed the
details of the Soose-Overlln fight
with much attention. Mr.. Overlin,
a cunning fellow formerly employed
by the United States Navy, is the
world middleweight champion of Mr..
Michael Jacobs widely famed trust.
The other champion is Anthony
Zale, who got his title in Seattle,
where a Jacobs championship is not
even good on street cars.
Mr.. Soose is a good, workmanlike
middleweight, the pride of Scranton.
He has no title whatever. In order
to insure the permanence OF this
state of affairs, which is satisfactory
to several parties, Mr.. Overlin did
not put his bauble on the line when
he went to Scranton to fight Mr..
Soose. 1t was over the weight. No
title at stake.
I didn't see this glorious battle,
but several of the big city" writer's
to whom the Scranton Tribune re-
fers were there. Soose got the de-
cision, two votes to one. Some OF
the boys" returning from Scran-
ton, were inclined to describe 1t as
a hometown decision, with Mr..
Soose the beneficiary.

Moybe Fans in Scranton
Have Riqht to Be Sore

That is what makes the Scranton
Tribune mad, and do not blame
the Tribune. Why take it away
from Soose? If he won cleanly, as
the folks in Scranton seem to think,
then it is a dirty trick on him to
speak of hometown decisions. II
the fight was close, then Mr.. Over
lin failed to prove what every cham
pion ought to prove-real superiority
and deserves no sympathy.
1t is kind of hard to sympathize
with Mr.. Overlin, anyway. It's not
as though Kenneth were a naive
youth, an easy mark, a sucker for
frameups. Ken is a cute man who
has spent most of his professional
life fighting in other fellows home
towns.
He went to Scranton with no
illusions-and, if he'll pardon me
for saying so, very little champion
ship equipment. Mr.. Overlin is a
deft slapper and shifty target who
kids his way to many victory. He
once won a kidding decision over
Fred Apostoli, though Apostoli, then
in his prime, was better tighter
than Overlin.
Kenneth plies his trade the best
way he knows how, and does 1t well
but his way of doing 1t exposes him
to decisions like the Soose thing
After all, if he doesn't beat his man
like a champion, you can excuse the
other guys admirers for arguing
that he didn't beat him at all.
OverIin Not CoIIed Bum
Or Roted as Great
Then there always is the distinct
possibility that Soose won the fight
as recorded. The experts are some
times wrong. Oh, yes, they are
Marmaduke Put away that straight
Jacket. know what I'm doing.
In justice to those experts, though,
! would like to assure the voice of the
Scranton Tribune that there is
nothing sinister about this. The
boys don't do it on purpose. They
call em as they see 'em. The Tribune
admits that some called it one way
some another. That will happen in
every close fight.
You have not been deceived by
fight reports coming out OF New
York. Usually the boys are right
Usually they call a bum a bum
The trouble is that Mr.. Jacobs ano
other promoters produce buns SC
fast that it is hard to keep track o1
them.
Mr.. Overlin is not a bum. But
his best friends wouldn't call him 9
great fighter, and his best friends
never have.

Scranton Is Disturbed
By Home Decision
By JOHN LARDNER,

NEW 1ofIH, aug uSt (N.hI ,AJ
"A prize fight edges the European
catch-as-catch-c off the editorial
page for the first time this year,
as the voice of the Scranton Tri-
bune, of Scranton, Pa, demands to
know what is wrong with boxing
and why there is no justice for its
1avorite fighting son, William Soose.
The average boxing FAM" says
the Scranton Tribune, who long
has been wondering why the game
has reached such low ebb which
finds shameful stinkeroos being
staged in New York, center of 'he
boxing trust, may find a ray of eX-
PLANTATION for the situation in the
writings of the crowd of ring ex-
perts who came to this city on We'd
nesday for the Billy Soose-Ken
Overlin bout.
'For if the boys from the big city
aren't more honest in their report

boxing business than they were in
2heir accounts of the Soose- -Overlin
contest, then it's easily understand
able why the boxing game has be-

Students interested in botany have
examined the tough leaves under a

has but 200 pores in its leaves to the

leaves are thick, nerveless and

The waxy seeds are eagerly
sought by birds. To them the plant
must look for cooperation in find
ing new locations for the further
ance of its life plan. The seeds
are coated with sticky substance,
and the bird, when seeking food,
usually lands upon the bunch of
leaves and seeds. The feet, being
warm and slightly moist, are ideal
places for the berries to cling. After
the feast, when the bird takes to
flight, it is the carrier of one or
more waxy seeds. They will be left
upon the broad branch of a tree,
perhaps miles away in another
State, when the flyer stops for rest.

Sweden, Rich, Free,

SIOCkHOLM, sweden (By Ar
Mail)-I give you Sweden, the smil-
ing, free nation, preparing for the
Christmas season; where, as arrive,
after month in Germany, the
streets are hung with evergreen and
big yellow stars of Bethlehem; where
the butcher shop windows have big,
fat sausages made from every ami
NAL that ever wagged a tail (and
no meat cards. y, and where the holly
leaves shine, and where great tubs
of sweet Swedish butter shine out
at you from beds of mistletoe.
I give you Sweden, divine little
country where there are no celluloid
and party buttons, and no desire
to slap around weaker nations, and
where every one can afford to 60
up to those magnificent smorgas-
bord tables and for so cents pile his
plate high with headcheese and
sliced smoked venison and orange
marmalade; or, for that matter,
pork sausage, or veal sausage, or
reindeer sausage, or picked eels, or
spiced or smoked eels, or picked her
ring, or smoked or spiced herring, or
egg salad, or potato salad, or endive
salad, or goose, baked, boiled, roasted
or smoked, or turkey the same. or
chicken the same, and stuffed with
oysters, chestnuts, raisins, or all
three.
Respected Over World.
And, of course, every fish that ever
wiggled hn-tail in Sweden's green
northern seas, and every kind Of
lobster that ever tipped a tail in one
of Norway's deep fjords, and every
crab that ever danced on the white
sands of Denmarks beaches; baked,
or boiled. or fried, and dripping gold
with melted butter.
= Gentlemen, stand now and raise
your glasses of hot Swedish grog,
with grated nutmeg quivering on the
surface; I give you Sweden. Skoal!
I give you Sweden because here
is little country with poor natural
resources, with q swell national
character; a land which is happy
because it works hard, and if there
are no great rich here, there is
plenty for all; nation which is
respected all over the world, not
because it is feared, but because it
is liked.
No Big Military Machine.
give you Sweden because Sweden
has not ground down her people with
taxes to spend $500O0,0 900 900 in
building up big military mach1He
to scare its neighbors to death, but
has put its people to work, making
useful things which other countries
want to buy, with the result that
Sweden is full to overdowing with
oranges and spices and chocolate
and rubber and other tropical prod
ucts and has no need to conquer
colonies or steal them from others,
as she gets all she can use through
industry and fair trade.
Gentlemen, I give you Sweden,
the swellest little democracy in Eu-
rope. with the finest culture on this
continent.
Because If you don't take her to
your heart and take care of her,
somebody else is going to take her
over, soon.
One or the other Of these gangster
mobs is going to move in, and mash
her because Sweden is richer in fine,
free democratic traditions than she
is in manpower or big coast defense
guns or pursuit planes, and today
these things are the only blue chips
on the board.

was a story about this plant that has
come down to the present day.
Balder, the darling Of the gods, was
so fair that he radiated light. He
had q bad dream and told it to his
devoted mother. She hurriedly put
all the living things under a VOW to
protect her son, but forgot the mis-
tletoe. Balder's chief foe discovered
this omission and challenged Balder
to a duel. The arrow was tipped
with mistletoe. Balder was killed
and thereafter became the symbol
Of light. The goddess of love de-
creed that the kissing of a pretty
girl under q hough of mistletoe
would remove the curse-hence the
reason for the Yuletide practice-a
cure for jealousy and vengeance
that seems quite reasonable to
many.

Naugatuck Valley Party Leader Believes Congress siOna Nomination Should GO to N. H. County Man

Republican state central commit tee members in Litchfield county to- day received letters from Neils Poul- sen, of Ansonia, party leader in the lower Naugatuck Valley, declaring that the nomination for congress man from the fifth district should go to someone in the New Haven county end of the district. He rec commended the selection of Austin L. Adams, of Middlebury, a Water bury banker.
 Another of the candidates for the nomination, Frank T. Johnson, to- day claimed the support of a ma jority of the Waterbury delegation. Johnson, local newspaperman and 8 resident of Thomaston, formally announced his candidacy over the weekend, though it had been known for the previous two weeks that he was in the field.
 Others in the race, the winner of which will be edcided at the district congressional convention at The FL ton here Saturday, are Attorney Ed way Sweeney; Senator Claude V. Badger, of Wolcott; States Attor- ney William Blodgett, of Winsted; Col. Roy Rice, of Woodbury and Waterbury, who was the candidate two years ago; and Carl undgren, of Ansonia.
