MACFAYDEN LET COI BY PITT PIRATES

Pittsburgh, Oct. 8.-CUP)-Danny MacFayden, veteran right-hand pitcher who started his major league career 15 years ago, was re- leased internationally today by the Pittsburgh Pirates.
 MacFayden, 34, of Somerville, Mass, obtained by the Pirates from the Bees last year, won five games and lost four in 35 appearances. He was used mainly as a relief hurler but was the starting pitcher in eight games and failed to finish any of them.
 The bespectacled hurler started his major league career with the Boston Red Sox in 1926. Later he played with the Yankees, Reds, Bees and Pirates.
 Pirate President William Bens- wanger announced that MacNayden had to be released to bring the Pi- rate roster to within the regulation number of 40 players. Another req son, 1t was pointed out, is that Man ager Frankie FriSch is rebuilding the club with younger players.

STRONG LOCAL INTEREST FOR
 MONTY-CAT GO
Italian and Negro Welters To Open Indoor Sea-
 son Thursday

Consensus of general fistic opin- ion around and about is to the ef- feet that If their return go is half as good as the first one there will be nothing to yell about" Meaning, that the eight round bout between Francesca Montanari of Italy and Ernie Cat Robinson of New York, Thursday night of this week is a scheduled for Buckingham Hall return bout that has made imme- diate local appeal especially to those who saw the Italian and colored boy swap leather in 8 sizzling eight rounder during the past outdoor season at Randolph Cloves stadium.
 Two Eight Founders.
 Montanari and Robinson is enough to "carry' the show all by itself, but the Waterbury A. c. of f1cials intend to make their first bouts of the indoor season wroth remembering. To that end, they signed an eight round co-feature, Jimmy Bell of New Haven and Leo of Brooklyn, N. Y., welter- weights who are figured to put up quite 8 fuss 1nasmuch as MaSsilli's record gives a slight hint that he will be the best that Bell has met in some time and 1t cannot be denied that the colored clouter from New Haven has had some fought tests in this city and New Haven.
 Johnny Compo, state feather champ; and Dom Fantini of Read ing, Pa.; six rounds at 128 pounds: Frankie Foley of New Haven and Neil Miller of Wilkes-Barre, Pa: six rounds at 140; and Ohio Gianelli of Waterbury in four rounder with Freddy Martin, of New Haven, heavyweights, are the other bouts on the program. The Foley-Miller scrap is especially inviting.

 FINAL CONTEST
 AT EVEN MONEY
Newsom May Get Chance To Win Third Game Of
 World Series
BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Editorl

Cincinnati, Oct. g. (U.P.) This is the pay-of day in the world series.
 This is the day when every pitch glitters with gold and every base hit is freighted with glory. All the base- ball games played all over the coun- try in 1940 .. on sand lot or ma- jor league diamonds come to a smashing climax this afternoon at Crosley field. Yesterdays goat will be hero if he has what it takes in the clutch today; yesterdays hero will be 8 bum if he gees down swinging with the winning run on base.
 From today's struggle between the Detroit Tigers and the Cincinnati Reds will come the 194O champion of baseball, and the rockies wagged their heads in despair this morning and said it was an even-money bet.
 Cincinnati's hopes ride on the broad shoulders of Paul Derringer, the big guy from Kentucky who has pitched a great game and ter- rible game in this series. Knocked of the box in the opener, he came back in Detroit to win the fourth game and keep the Reds in the run ming. He has had only two days rest, but he stands six feet, three inches tall and weighs 220 pounds-a tough, nervy citizen who will pitch his heart out to- win.
 BObO The Great For Detroit it probably will be the great Bobo NewSom, although Man ager Del Baker will not make up his mind definitely until just before game time. Two times Bobo has gone against the Reds and two times he has come back winner. Between those two victories Bobo's father died. If he goes today it will be with only one days rest after the shut out he pitched in Detroit Sunday. But Bobo is man who never had sore arm in his life and this morn ing he is eager to try to win his way into the exclusive circle of pitchers who have taken three games in world series.
 Bakers alternative would be little Tommy Bridges, the curve ball king "a frail fellow who needs five days rest to be at his best. Bridges won the third game of the series and if Newsom starts today he will be on hand to do a relief job when and if necessary.
 Speculation on today's game is more or less a waste of time. Three pitchers and four pinch .hitters will be in there for both sides if needed. There is a difference of about $2,100 between the winning and losing shares for the players, and bad bounce or a sensational catch can turn the tide when the battle gets as hot as 1t will be in this last game.
 The story of this series so far is that the Reds get behind and then surge up to even things. They have never been ahead in games won and lost. The Tigers won the first, third, and fifth games, but three times-in the second, fourth and sixth games Cincinnati squared the count.

 Tigers candidates for the hero,s toga-Buck Newsom, Pink Higgins and Bruce Campbell.
 Reds candidates for the hero's laurel wreath Bucky Walters, Jiin- my Ripple and Billy Werber.
 The goat-he1I be out there today. You pick him.
 Greatest catch-Jimmy Ripple's leaping enchanted stab of Billy Sullivan's liner into the deep left field corner in the fifth game.
 Greatest infield play Eddie Joost's miraculous gloved-hand stop and throw on Bruce Campbell,s anost sure base-hit in the seventh in- ming of the sixth game.
 Best pitched game Buck New some's three-hit g. 0shutout of the Reds in the fifth game.
 Skull Work
 Quickest thinking Dick Bartelps decision on Frank McCormickS rol- Ter down the third base line in the second game. From his shortstop position, Bartell saw there was no chance to make a play on the rum ner and he yelled to Higgins to ''let It roll". At the last second the ball rolled foul by an inch.
 Best slide Eddie Joost's belly whopper into third base in the sec- ond game. Birdie Tebbets had him trapped off second but the throw was wild and went into center field. JooSt scrambled back to second. then picked himself up and tore into third, coming in the last 15 feet op his belly.
 Most pathetic sight - Charlie Gehringer trying to play second base and letting balls he would have stuck in his hip pocket few ago go whistling by. And watching the once great hitetr making feebls strokes at the plate.
 Biggest skull Schoolboy Rowe forgetting to cover first in the first inning of the sixth game on Ival Goodman's roller to Rudy York. If Rowe had covered the bag Good- man would have been an easy out and Rowe might have postponed his first inning collapse.
 Luckiest five minutes They be- long to Hank Greenberg, who led off the second inning of the first game with single and twice was rlearly trapped off base (first and SeconO but managed to score and lead the five-run rout of Paul Der- ringer.
 Well Done
 Smartest play-Jimmy Wilson's dash for home in the sixth inning with the bases loaded and Bucky Walters at bat with the count 3 and 2. Wilson started running with the pitch and, when Walters tpped to Higgins, beat the throw to the plate with an important run. wilson, 40 and slow as an ice wagon, would never have scored if he hadn't had that running start.
 Leading hitter-B Bill Werber, Reds third sacker, who has made 10 hits in g times at bat for an average of .435. He needs two hits in the final game to tie the World Series record of 12 hits held jointly by Sam Rice, Senators, and Pepper Martin, Cardinals.

MOTORISTS HAVE PART
IN NATIONAL DEFENSE

Delaware motorists have part to
play in the national defense program
the Delaware Safety council points
out, in commenting on relationship
between preparedness and the annual
motor vehicle inspection which closes
on August 81.
Huge motor cavalcades Of National
Guardsmen and Army troops moving
over highways in this area in recent
weeks give the clue to this relation
ship. They were, it is true, only on
their way to war games. But they
were depending upon uninterrupted
movement as part of their practice
to meet emergency. They required
cooperation of every individual mo-
torist for this movement.
Fifth columnists" in other lands
have had as part of their work the
interruption of troop movements, the
tieing up of highways. Their sue
cess is a well-known story.
Motorists, by failing to keep their
automobiles in a safe driving condi-
ton could bring equal hazards here.
Yet the council declares one car in
every five that has been inspected in
the Delaware safety lanes has been
found to have defects that might bring
a similar result.
Equally grave is the fact that one
third of all the motor vehicles in the
state had not even been to the in
spection lanes as of August IL.
If the proportion of cars rejected
by the motor cehicle inspectors were
to hold true for the 76,525 cars which
Motor Vehicle Commissioner William
D. Denney estimates there are in the
state, it would mean a total of 1886
would be refused safety stickers, each
a potential hazard.
Speedy correction of this condition,
the council declares, is thus more than
an individual matter. It affects all
of us.

UNIQUE PATENTS
ARE APPEARING
in THE CAPITOL

The nations inventors burst forth
with batch of new gadgets, designed
to make the world an easier place in
which to live-but you'll have to use
your own judgement about that.
Most shocking" of the latest pat
ents granted is the electric calfwean-
er, aimed at making things more plea
SAINT for mamma cow plus giving the
calf a quicker start in life.
The brain child of Patrick Kelly of
Anatone, Wash, it consists of a neat
little battery carrier that fits around
the Calls neck and metal contrap-
ton that rests lightly on it's nose.
An unobtrusive wire connects the two.
1t works this way: When the calf
gets ready to go to lunch the metal
contraption touches the cow, and clos
es an electric circuit, thus shocking
the dickens out of the calf.
Mr.. Kelly doesn't say what it does
to the cow, but from the looks of
things, it appears that she is ground
ed.
A patent was granted Martin Plan
itz of the Bronx, N. Y, for an arm
support for a fishing rod which should
just about make things perfect for the
angler who wants to take it easy.
Joseph Burger, of New York, N. Y,
thought up little piece of mechan-
ism that should be boon to the
man or woman who wants to look tall
er.
It's a sort of miniature platform
that fits into the shoe, attaches onto
a screw that goes into the heel. To
raise yourself an inch or so, you turn
the screw, which raises the platform
and you on it.
It's all concealed and your friends
will never know.

SERIOUS DANGER
TO WILD LIFE
IS PREDICTED

Officials of the Fish and Wildlife
Service predict serious Gripping of
this country's $5O,OOO,O0O fur bust
ness unless steps are taken to counter
balance effects of the European war.
Loss of wilderness areas during the
past few decades have reduced the
fur industry of the United States to
such an extent that more than half of
the country's fur demands are sup
piled by foreign producers.
Officials of the Fish and Wildlife
Service said that if war conditions
preclude importation of foreign fus,
the demand will fall upon the local
industry, endangering breeding stocks
of fur-bearing animals by taking more
animals than the supply warrants.
They fear the nations fur resources
will be exhausted unless measures are
taken to strike a proper balance be-
tween supply and demand. They did
not say, however, what form such
measures should take.
The agency's statement follows:
"It was not until the discovery of
North America that the world fur
trade got into it's stride. That it
early became an enormously profit
able bpsiness on this continent is at
tested by the fact that great fortunes
were amassed from dealing in furs.
In these circumstances, with pelts
readily obtainable and profits large,
no attention whatever was paid to the
question of the possible exhaustion
of this source of wealth that nature
provided with prodigal hand.
NATURALLY, depletion of fur re-
sources resulted. This cannot be at
tributed, however, entirely to over
eagerness in trapping. The dis
appearance of the wilderness, natural
habitat of the fur animals, was a
major factor.
Nevertheless, even today the trap
pers and fur farmers of the United
States receive $5O,O00,OOO year for
the raw furs they bring to the mar
ket. The annual retail turnout Of
finished articles is several times that
amount; in 1929 the peak year, it
reached $5OO,O0O,OOO. The United
States is, in fact, the largest fur con-
Stunning market in the world. Today
instead of the chief source of fur sup
ply, this country depends upon i'm
ports for one-half of it's requirements.
eff war conditions prevent normal
importation of furs, it probably will
mean dependence upon domestic fur
resources. This would bring the dang
er of taking more fur animals than
the supply warrants, thus duly de-
pleting the breeding stocks. Trappers
still take fur animals from the wilds
with the same extravaganza disregard
of the necessity for maintaining or
increasing whatever supply is left.
"Unless measures are taken to
strike a proper balance between sup
ply and demand the nations natural
fur resources will be completely ex-
hausted. Almost every state has
some fur resources that are a source
of income for some of it's citizens.
The methods of managing these hap
hazard and in fact few conservation
lists have given serious thought to the
matter"
