 IN STORY BOOK

 New Pork, Sept. l0-Prohably fig. uring the time-glamored adage "de. mand creates supply" works in base ball, too, Clinton H. Hoard, widely known baseball writer and lecturer and Brooklyn Dodger fan ever since old Washington Park days, has writ- ten c book titled "The Dodgers lo4l," but spreading ell over the whole cycle of baseball in Brooklyn, from the days of one -old-cat to now.
 Clint and his co-editor, Charles Dexter, include 22 pages of indi- viduai portraits and action pictures, with an eye to autograph hunters. It deals not only with today's heroes but goes back beyond to the days of Wee Willie Keeler, Bill Dahlen, Marty Bergen and Nap Fucker and travels on through the years with Rube Marquard and Wilbert Robin. son and Casey Stengel and takes in virtually ell of the crew that were immortalized as the Dodger Daffi- ness Boys.
 Al Roberge, the Frenchy from Lowell, Mass, who jumps Into the Boston Braves infield in the pinches these days, won the nickname "sklppy" in his prep school days at Keith Academy.
 The National Leagues August rookie crop Is 6 brisker lot than for many mid-seaSons past. Jimmy Carlin, the husky Irisher from Ala. bama, breaking in with the Phila. delphla phillies for instance. When your first big league hit Is . home run against the first place club you look like you're going somewhere. That's Jimmy, registering his first major league hit in the form of a homer of the Cardinals Spud Krist. Jimmy played mostly second base for Springfield, Massr where the PhllS bought him but his debut homer was sledged as centerfieider for the prothromen.
 Hardly Q day passed during Aug. ,lst when some one of the clubs dio not acquire Q substitute to acquire seasoning for the future. The Dodgers, aS usual are way out In front with Larry French and Augie 0aian, both of the Cubs, as their latest acquisitions, the Reds brought up Eddie Lukon from nKoxville: the Braves brought in Roberge from Hartford; the Cubs came Tn witn Vallie Eaves from Toronto and the PhilS came up with outfielder Jim Carlin. The Giants were the only club without Q new face.
 If Dixie Walker of the Brooklyn DodRers captures the National feague batting title 1t won't be the first time c player with an Amer. .can League background won the crown. Lefty ODoul and Hal Chase finished on top after having per- formed in the rival circuit.
 The quality of the pitching and defensive play in the National League shows in the fact that the Brooklyn Dodgers are the only club Averaging better than five funs per game this season, while in the American League, three clubs - New York, Boston and st. Louis have been able to cross the plate more freely than the , marx.

 DECIDED TODAY
Judge Cornell Imposed Several Restrictions In
 Announcing Decision

Superior Court Judge John A. Cornell today awarded Nellie Rinkus Moraitis of Naugatuck custody of her siX-year -old son, conditioning the award, however, with several restrictions regarding the care of the child.
 The boy, Judge Cornell ruled in & memorandum of decision, is not to reside with his mother and her present husband in a home being remodelled by her father, in the rear of his place of business, nor in any other residence In the neigh borhood. Tn addition, the child Is to attend regular Sunday services and Sunday school, offered by the religious denomination to which his mother and her husband belong, unless otherwise agreed by the two.
 Also decreed by the jurist, is the right of the Naugatuck woman's former husband to visit and asso- ciate with the child at all reason able times.
 The plaintiff was divorced from Joseph Moratis of Naugatuck on May IT, 1889, in a decree handed down by Judge Kenneth Wynne. She had alleged intolerable cruelty, and had requested the custody of the boy for a period of six months each year. The present ruling was brought about by a motion filed by the plaintiff to reopen judgment and modify the decree regarding custody.
