WHY Cobb-Ruth Golf Match Draws

never will be solved. Baseball
owes more to Ruth than to any
other individual. It was his ire
mendous feats that mace the
public quickly forget the Black
Sox scandal of 1920.
Cobb and Ruth, who Is Al, are
just another pair of southpaw
golfers who frequently catch
traps architects dig on the left to
penalize right-handed hookers.
But they remain magnetic at
fractions. Old-timers want to
see what they look like today.

heroes that were. A golf gallery

close enough to Cobb and Ruth
to touch them Is . genuine thrill
to thousands.
Cobb is q consistent 70 shooter
who is most formidable with

Home Game

Bsnsols End
Disastrous Trip
with Loss 10 As

ODETROIT, June 27-(R-The
shell-shocked Detroit Tigers,
sorely in need of IN opponent
they can beat. returned home to-
day from an i'll fated eastern in
vasion to meet the cellar dwell
ing st. Louis Browns.
It was revitalizing to the Tig-
ers to reflect upon the fact that
the little Brownies have lost
their last IA starts at Briggs sta
dunn, and Paul Dizzy Trout,
current ace of Detroit's pitching
staff, was nominated to make
it Is straight. Bob Harris, the
ex-Tiger, was selected to oppose
him.
The three game st. Louis SER
les will be followed by short
road trips to Chicago and St.
Louis before the Tigers return
home for q home stand against
eastern foes.
A pair of three-run homers by
Bob johnson yesterday at Phila-
delphia put the finishing touches
on the disastrous Detroit trip as
the Athletics won, s to 4, to take
the series two games to one. 1t
was the third victory in IL starts
against the Tigers for Connie
Mack's young club, and it left
Detroit with touring record of
five victories in Is starts.
Johnson's first homer came in
the first inning off Tommy
Bridges, who was charged with
his sixth defeat of the year
against four triumphs. Floyd
Giebell and Schoolboy Rowe fol-
lowed on the mound and the
Athletics hammered the trio for
Is hits. johnson gathered four
safeties and 50 did Benny Nc
Coy, the Grandville boy who
has regained his batting effec-
tiveness after further delay OF
his draft induction date.
The Tigers meanwhile were
limited to nine hits by Phil
Marchildon, rookie Highlander
from Pennetang, Ont, who made
it his fifth victory of the sea-
son. What chances Detroit might
have had of getting back into
the contention were erased when
johnson belted a. three-two
pitch off Rowe into the stands
in the sixth for three more runs.
That was Johnson's 18th round
tripper of the year and it put
him even with Joe DiMaggio
for the league leadership, one
clout in front of Rudy York.
Even the initial major league
appearance of Dick Wakefield,
the $4,000 collegian, failed to
improve the Detroit batting at
tack. Wakefield, pinch-hitting
for Giebell in the sixth, ground
ed out on the first pitch to Dick
Siebert, who tossed to March
ildon covering first base.

HURLEY INVITED
 BY ASSOCIATION
Governor to Address New. Iy Formed Safety Group
 April IS

A State Highway Safety Associa- ton will be formed from the mem bership of local and county safety committees of Connecticut at a meeting at the Hartford Club on April IS. The Association will CO., odinate the activities of committees in l65 towns working in cooperation with the Highway Safety Cornmis- sion and other state agencies.
 Governor Robert A. Hurley is to be the principal speaker of the eve- ming and Major Vernon s. More house, Chairman of the Commis- sion, will preside. It is expected that the organization will have also as its guests officers of the General Assembly, members of the State Traffic Commission and of the Highway Safety Commission.
 The Association will elect four of- ficers: chairman, vice chairman, secretary and treasurer and four members of an Executive commit- tee.
 Volunteers
 The safety committees comprise representative groups of men and women who volunteer their services throughout the year in the interest of highway safety. Until recently their efforts were confined usually to local enterprises, but now coun- ty organizations have been formed and it is expected that the state or- ganization will provide the means for greater efficiency and allow the various committees to know one another's problems and exchange information on the best means of correcting unsafe conditions.
 The formation of these groups is the result of several years work by the Highway Safety Commission. Stimulation of community interest in motor vehicle problems probably has been influenced to a greater degree by these safety committees than by any other factor. They support intelligent, efficient work of public officials for. sofety, study To- cal accident statistics, aid in the elimination of hazards, work for un- iformity in regulation, promote safety education and are a vital in- fluence in securing uniform, fair and impartial enforcement of the motor vehicle laws.
 . County Representatives
 Those who will attend the meet ing as representatives of their cou1- ty groups are as follows:
 Litchfie.d County: William Foord, Litchfield, Chairman; William R. Smith, Bethlehem; Norman M. Couch, Washington; Mayor William Patten, Torrington.
 New Haven County: Harry B. Kennedy, New Haven, Chairman; Leon E. Clark. Seymour; Earle A. Barker, Branford.

arms program. Washington has organized a plastics defense con1- mittee, plastics research bureau: "The whole question of plastics," says E. R. Stettinius, Jr, priori- ties director of the OPM, "now becomes more important than ever.'
 Take the possibilities of the plas- tic plane. Latest and biggest step forward is the making of airplane wings, fuselage and tail of nodded wood plastics bonded with a special resin which gives a compact struc- ture.
 This was accomplished by the Summit Aeronautical Corporation of Bendix, N. J. An experimental plastic plane was flown recently. For two years this company, the Timm Aircraft Company and Clark Air Corporation, have ex- perimented with plastic bodied planes. One plane has flown daily for two years and shows almost no signs of wear. The strips ot wood are treated with plastic resin and nodded under heat and pres- sure to proper form, after which the whole mass is baked. When cooled to atmospheric temperature the structure retains its shape and is as udrab.e as metal;
 Four other aircraft companies and two major research institu- tions are also at work on the plastic plane. PLASTIC FUTURE

 That, in effect, was the want ad inserted in the Foreign Service Journal of the State Department in an article explaining that, though many nations are angry with each other, the diplomatic business is still doing well.
 Contrary to the popular view, the war has increased rather than les- sened the job of U. s. diplomats who must look now to the interests of American nationals all over the world while also taking care of the busiress of governments who are not on speaking terms.
 It is pointed out that while 8 offices have been closed in various parts of the globe since the war started, 3l new offices at the same time have been opened.

 "As examples may be mentioned the development of immigration work in southern France, Spain and Portugal; the protection of foreign interests, particularly in Europe and the Far East: expanding commer- cial activities in Latin America; de- fense activities in all parts of the world; and other multifarious dut- ies which have developed as re- suit of the war;"
 The new duties of caring for the interests of other nations involve representation of Great Britain and most of its Dominions in Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Dem mark, occupied and unoccupied France, Italy, Rumania, Bulgaria, Casablanca, Algiers, Tahiti, Ttinis, Martinique, Saigon and Dakar.
