RED S0X HANDED
7 TO 4 SETBACK
Three-Run Circuit Blow In
Eighth Breaks Tie And
Indians Retain Lead

CLEVELAND, June 81 -tR-Roy
CBeau) Bell produced a dramatic
three-run homer in the clutch to-
day to give Cleveland a 7 to 4
comeback triumph over Boston and
cement the Indians hold on first
place.
Bells eight-inning circuit blow
broke up a 4 to 4 tie, overcame
two Boston homers and provided
the Indians sixth straight victory.
It was the tenth triumph OF the
season for Southpaw Al Milnar,
who was touched for ten hits, and
the first setback in five decisions
for Boston's Jack Wilson. Milnar
has been defeated only twice.
The Red Sox grabbed a three
run lead in the third inning when
youthful Ted Williams hit a homer
with the sacks occupied by Wilson
and Lou Finney, who made four
hits in as many trips. The Indians
tied it up in their half. Ken Keltner
was hit by a pitched ball and
Milnar and Lou Boudreau doubled.
the latter eventually scoring on an
infield out.
The pitchers settled down but
when Jimmy FoXx drove for the
circuit in the eight-his 18th homer
of the year-Boston appeared to
have counted the u needed for
a 4 to 3 victory.
Cleveland didn't give up, how
ever. Boudreau walked. Outfielder
Roy Weatherly. who made three
sensational catches to save Milnar
further trouble, got a double, and
Rollie Hemsley singled. Weatherly
was out trying to score but Hal
T'rosky was purposely passed,
bringing up Bell, who'd rove VII
sons first pitch over the right
field wall.
A crowd of Il 1000, about half
of them ladies' day patrons, saw
the Indians win their eight in nine
starts since a dozen Cleveland
players complained they couldn't
play winning ball for manager

fight the more the mazuma.
Back to the COS
The Galento-Baer brawl will
come off in Jersey City on the
night of July 2-less than W
weeks off. And for back : room
brawling the fight should be SIM
liar to the escapades of the gay
and gallandt ZOOS, when the boys
heat it out barehanded in fights
that lasted so rounds or more.
The Baer has been training quite
a bit. for a month or so now he has
been skipping ropes and calling
Galento a bum.
The Galento has been training
too, for a month or so now he has
been bending the elbow over the
suds and calling Baer a bum.
That's the way it stacks up. Both
will be tough, tougher than you
might think, and the fight will
probably draw more fans, though
less dollars than Louis latest
championship bout. Right now 1t
looks as if Galento will be the
favorite, but Baer is SC unpredlc-
table that guessing is about all it
will get you to try and canlt.
Personally we believe Galento
would be a better match for Louis
than Baer. Tony is pretty deter
mined about winning the cham
pionship. And besides he might
land a lucky punch.

Health Councils Prepare Emergency Defense Program
Father Sugrue Ends
 Series Of Lectures
Scores Manufacturers, Distributors of COntraCep-
 tives-POints Out Penalties Nature Exacts

Rev. Francis J. Sugrue of Bridge port, native of this city, concluded his series of lectures at the Adul Forum of Catholic Doctrine fir Bridgeport last evening, warmly criticizing manufacturers of contra ceptlves. t
 He declared that quite apart from any moral or medical consideration American men and women pay a tremendous sum of money for a service that they do not receive, when they purchase contraceptives.
 Only very small part of all con- traceptives even approach harmless ness and dependability whereas the great bulk of them-rnany millions made each year, are manufactured by interruptions beasts, who spend little or nothing on research, and less on testing the articles, he add ed.
 "The contraceptives poured by the millions into the mass-trade chan rels," Father Sugrue said, "do not average better than 50 per cent pro- tection' against conception, and many of them are positively danger ous, especially to the health of the woman user. Serious infections have been traced directly to them, thus necessitating resort to the sur- geon, sometimes to the cancer spe- cialist, and frequently to the un- dertaker."
 Father Sugrue stated that $250,- 100000 was spent yearly by Amer ican men and women for contra ceptives and that of this sum, over 30 per cent was spent by women.
 '"The women," he declared, "ac- tually contribute $212 1000, 900 to this vicious and destructive racket in which the manufacturers alone reap an extortionate profit of $75,000, ,000 each year, or 30 per cent clear profit, while the jobbers and retailers grab an even greater profit. The con- traceptive racket is, then, in the class of big business and, as such, will not easily be disposed of or reg

The attention focused on nation al and statewide activities organiz- ing public health for defense should not minimize the efforts of each community in Connecticut to pro- vide an adequate local program for the prevention of disease and pro- motion of health, Franklin M. Foote, M. D., chief of the division of Local Health Administration said today in the weekly broadcast of the state department of health. Tn 8 number of communities public health councils already are formed to plan such a program and to CO., ordinate the activities of local health agencies. The need for such 3 plan is particularly pressing in towns where rapid industrial expan- sion for defense has taken place.
 Infection Danger
 Movements of industrial popula- tions and the bringing together of young men for military training from widely scattered points favors the spread of infectious disease. Proper steps must be taken con- stantly to prevent this, Doctor Foote pointed out. Advantage must be taken of the safe and effective means that are available for pro- iucing immunity against diphtheria and smallpox. This protect on should be given the first year of life as a safeguard during the most sus- ceptible years. Children in some of the families of the many new men added to expanding Connecticut in- dustries during the past few months may not be protected against these diseases.
 In local communities much also can be done to protect health by regular supervision of public eating and drinking places, supervision of the milk supply, and elimination of insanitary methods of sewage dis posal. Doctor Foote said that now, more than ever, these fundamental health services must be maintained efficiently. A breakdown in disease prevention in even one small com- munity may affect adversely the health of armed forces and civil lanS.
 Defense Steps
 On a statewide basis a number of defense steps are being taken. Doc tor Foote reported that public wa ter supplies are being surveyed with regard to emergency resources, croSs-connections, availability of Sandbags and chlorination facili- ties. In connection with federal housing projects and the import ano3 of the sanitary aspects of housing intowns where industrial

expansion is taking place, hous- ing engineer is being added to the state department of health. Addi- tional chemical and mechanical en- gineering personnel is being placed tn the Bureau of Occupational Dis eases to assist manufacturers in planning control equipment to pro- tent workers from injurious dusts and gases. Such potential health hazards have increased greatly with the tremendous growth of certain industries in the state.
 The state department of health and the State Tuberculosis Com mission are cooperating with selec- tive service boards to arrange for a chest x-ray and a blood test of each young man to receive training. Each positive case of tuberculosis or syphilis found is to be investi- gated to determine, when possible, the source of infection and to check family and other contacts who may have been exposed.
