What Makes
Marriage
Click?
BY HELEN ROWLAND

A PROSPECTIVE bridegroom
wants to know exactly what are
the chances of happiness in mar
riage. Because, he explains, I
am determined that this step
shall not be the first step TO the
divorce court. I'm going TO
make my marriage click. I re-
gard all these alimony-payers
and alimony dodgers as steps,
THAT is POSITIVELY the
sanest and most refreshing letter
that l have received in some
time. 1t shows that young So
phiSticates are getting wise To
themselves That they are be-
ginning to see that marriage IS
no idle joke.
YOUR CHANCES of finding
happiness and success in mar
riage, my son, depends on your
qualities Of good sportsmanship.
Because marriage is the best and
the greatest sporting proposition
on earthl But it is no game for
pikers, shirkers and poor sports.
II YOU ARE normally sane,
fair-minded intelligent man, you
will find marriage the one Best
Bet in life! If you realize that
choosing a life-partner is not
only more important than choos-
ing a dance partner or even a
business partner. but the most
vitally important act of your
life. you will be awfully careful
to pick some one who is as sane
and fair-minded as you are.
Because marriage is like a two
way street-a lot depends on the
other fellow.
BUT IF YOU are a plunger, a
poor picker and a bad chooser,
and are willing to gamble your
happiness on an impulse or a
momentary infatuation, you had
better avoid matrimony as you
would avoid reckless driving. be-
cause your chances of losing out
are hundred to one. Marriage
Is as dangerous as 1T Is import
ant.

BROWNS WORK IN RELIEF ROLE
 STANDS ALONE
King of Dodgers BuIIpen Won Rescue LaureIs
 With Pirates
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS nlfAd PrAaa Staff r.nrreannndAnkl

United Press Staff CorrcspOndent)
 New York, June 16-UP)-Notes from the big leagues:
 Mace Brown, king of the Brook lyn Dodgers bullpen, holds a res- cue record that's due to live long and go far. Tn his days with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Mace worked in many games, chalked up num- erous innings and won quite a few victories every year but didn't pitch a complete game for nearly three years.
 On Sept. 2, le36, Brown went nine innings as the Pirates plaster ed St. Louis, 14-l. On July 4, 1889, he won nine-inning mound duel with Johnny Wander Nicer, 4.3. In between those dates he figured in 128 National League games but each of the 128 he shared slab service with one or more team mates.
 Since Pepper Martins Missis- sippi Mudcats broke up, the prize radio team of the National League Is the Buddy Hassett-Eddie Miller combine of the Boston Braves. Both Bud and Ed are experienced mike" warblers.
 Gumbert No Fan
 Harry Gumbert, Cardinals pitch CT, halls from Ellsworth, Pa., not very far from Pittsburgh but until he joined the Giants, he had seen only one National League contest, 8 Brooklyn-Phillies game at Ebbets Field.
 Catcher Al Todd of the Chicago Cubs operates all winter as a basketball referee in the college and prep school circles of his home town, Elmira, N. F., and through out the eastern section of New York state.
 Quiz dept: Is there any basis of actual figures to prove that pitching is 70 per cent of winning baseball?
 A look at the National League averages answers that easily enough. The Pittsburgh Pirates led the league in batting and scored the most runs. The St. Louis Cardinals made the most hits, the most homers and the most two-baggers and stole the most bases. The Brooklyn Dodgers led the league In triples. Boston per- formed the most double plays and triple plays. The Reds won the pennant and world championship.
 Buck Newsom DlsappointS
 Biggest pitching disappointments of the year so far are Paul Der- ringer of the Reds and Buck New som of the Tigers, who pitched against each other in the seventh game of last years World Series. Biggest comeback players of the year are Bill Dickey, New York Yankees catcher, Johnny Wander Mere, Cincinnati Reds southpaw, and Vernon Gomez, Yankee port Sider.
 An early tip in the National League said that southpaw pitch ing would be the ruination of the Brooklyn Dodgers this year. On past performances that deduction has little to stand on. Last year, 65 of the 65 Dodger defeats were administered by opposing right hand pitchers. Clyde Shoun of the Cardinals was the only lefthander to plaster as many as three beat- ings on the Brooks. They took left handed pitching for 21 decisions, knocked off Lefty Lanahan of hte Pirates four times and Ken Heint- zelman of the same club, three times.

NeD York And Boston Americans Set For AH Out" E7oz
Kaplan, Harkins Headline
 Local Ring Show Thursday

With the entire card, with One exception, in a six round prslim. in- tact from last week, Irving Kay Kaplan, Los Eageles weltexwesRht. and Wicky Harkins of Philadelphia will head an all-action outdoor boxing show Thursday night of this week. The card, originally schcd~ uled for last week Thursday, was put over one week, due Co tkreat~ ening weather, though . heavy ad~ vance sale of tickets was recorded
 Matchmakers Here
 Early reports from the flsti0 headquarters of the Waterbury A. c. volunteered the information that more than Q few fistic promoters from several parts of Connecticut will be up and around and Gbout Thursday night when Irving Kay Kaplan of Los Angeles gets his hands up against Wicky Harkins, the Philadelphia Harp who holds mods over Cat Robinson and Jimmy Leto, two better than fair welter~ weights.
 Kaplan beat Harkins on the Louis-Baer card in Washington, and Waterbury will be the scene of his first Connecticut chewing, which is why the men who sign up bouts in other parts of the state want to get 8 peek" at Kaplar SO that they can line him up for outs door boxing if he "clicks" against Harkins. Of course, Waterbury 4. 0. promoters are showing him first so, if he makes the hit that he is expected to make, having already beaten Harklns, other state promo. ters will come flrst-after Waters bury.
 DOlan Ahead
 Frankly, the Irish- Jewish main bout Thursday night figures to draw planty of patrons of the manly art, for Kaplan can fight and If the Connecticut Kaplans alone get to town, they will i'll up the first ten rows ringside. Incl. dentally, his handlers have been telling Kaplan about Irish Eddie Dolarl, which is the big idea behind his local showing Thursday, for he knows that 8 win over Harkins will go a long way toward getting him a bout with Dola1. if he shown something worthwhile, and such a bout would draw quite e bit of money and patronage, in this city and put the Jewish boy in solid around the state, in regard to ring work in the immediate future.
