Both Starters Fail

Bridges. seeking his eighth VIC
tory in the first game, was OPP
posed at the start by Al Milnar,
the veteran southpaw, but neither
lasted long. Bridges was ham,
mered for eight hits in four in
nings. while Milnar was wild and
ineffective. Joe Heving. who re-
lieved the Indian starter in the
third, was credited with the VIC
tory.
Oris Hockett started the Tribe >
frst-inning attack on Bridges with
a double and scored on the first
of Ken Keltner's five hits. JEFF
Heath walked and Les Fleming s
single scored Keltner, while put
ting Heath on third. Lou Bou-
dreau then laid down sacrifice
bunt on which JEFF counted
Milnar had escaped in the first
despite hits by Bill Hitchcock and
Nrney McCosky, but the Tigers
3ored twice in the second on four
bases on balls and a fly by Hitch
cock.
And when, with one out in the
third, Pinky Higgins walked and
Don Ross singled him TO third,
Milnar was removed and Heving
was sent for. He famed Rudy
York for the second out and got
Jimmy Bloodworth on lazy fly.

Loss No FIuke

Surprising as it was TO the rec
ord crowd Of $4,000 who turned
out for an all-charity program
which netted three relief societies
an even 100000 Whirlaway's de-
feat was no fluke.
Banged by Bay View in spotty
start, Whirlaway never really had
a good chance to get running. He
was knocked off stride at the
break-while lola Rose sped out
to an immediate advantage--he
was almost a city block behind at
the clubhouse turn and his feat of
finishing as far up as second was
a tribute 10 his gameness.

End Of Bridges

The Indians finished Bridges
with another three-run blast in
the fourth. Mack started il with
n double over York's head and
scored on a single by Denning.
Heving's sacrifice put Denning on
second and he galloped home on a
single by Roy Weatherly. Roy
then stole second and scored on
keltner's single.
The Tigers got one in the fifth
on successive singles by Cramer,
Higgins and Ross. but the Indians
bounced back with two at Cor
sica's expense in the sixth. Bou-
dreau's single driving them in.
In the first inning of the night
cap Hitchcock led of with base
on balls, and Higgins belted one
into the left field seats.
The Indians came right back in
their half. Boudreau and Hockett
walked. Keltner interrupted his
string of base hits TO sacrifice and
Heath's infield out scored Bou-
dreau. Then Bust Mills lined a
single TO right and il was all even
as Hockett logged home.
Keltner resumed operations in
the third. rapping a double and
scored when Mills dropped single
in short center.
That lead was enough for Bagby
until the eighth. when successive
singles by McCosky. Cramer and
Higgins tied the score. Thereafter
Dung Jim resumed command. but
he Indians could do nothing with
Henshaw in the eighth or with
Benton in the ninth or tenth.

excuse for his failure. Jockey
Wendell Eads foot slipped from
the stirrup in the stretch and Sun
Again couldn't be ridden out at
the end.
Whether the colt can run a dis
lance can't be determined yet. He
is bred for speed. His dam was
a Stimulus mare. which is a speed
line. His sire, Sun Teddy, never
lasted farther than a mile in fast
company unless the track was
muddy. The tracks at Churchill
Downs often are muddy, and it
may be that Sun Again can come
through and make it two in row

Here's Why You Tip
By A. II. Denfe

Every one knows what a "tip"
Is. But why? Who started the
practice? Is 1t sound or is 1t not?
Why have movements to abolish
tipping proved unsuccessful? And
why. of all things, is a tip called
a "tip?"
The why" of the tip is easy to
trace. Far, far back in the early
days of travel, the wayfarer stop
ping for food and drink at q
wayside inn and being promptly
and pleasantly served by, most
likely, the hosts charming
daughter, would be so pleased
with the attention that. upon de-
parture, he could not refrain
from leaving a small gift to the
attendant. AS his change was
brought to him. the gift of q
small sum of money seemed sim
plest and most appropriate.
Gradually, the practice became
more general as the charming
daughters of inn-keepers. dis
creetly spread the news Of the
agreeable custom.
Soon the regular patrons who
were rather generous with their
gifts began to notice that these
contributions paid dividends In
preferred attention. And, to
those who had to be convinced

is a war on, and war workers
have been detained at their jobs.
1t becomes the battle cry of the
discourteous and the inefficient;
it is the theme song of people
who have consistently refused to
change their ways or add to their
labors in order to help us get on
with that same war.
Perhaps it is in certain
measure being used by them as
camouf1age for their own con-
sciences. BY repeating the phrase
with a sneering lip and an acid
tongue, they are kidding them
selves into thinking that they
are really battling personal hard
ships. inflicted upon them by war,
and therefore they are superior
to the mere civilian who bothers
them with stupid questions. They
are so busy thinking about how
they must impress on others the
fact that they know there is a
war on, that they have no time
to give to helping to win it.
The trouble is, of course. that
such an attitude is far from the
let's pull together" feeling that
forms such big part of home
front morale. We're fighting hate
all over the world, and it seems
a pity that such nasty little
snarling and yapping should
thrust themselves into our great
effort. Courtesy costs nothing
and pays tremendous dividends
in good will and cooperation.
Why, then, must these people
deliberately set out to breed dis
like and contempt In the hearts
OF all those with whom they
come in contact?
1t is very true that many Of
these offenders have been thrust
into positions too high for them
because their betters have gone
OF to fight their battles else
where. And it has, undoubtedly,
gone to their heads, when it
should have made them grateful
for their opportunity, and for
the men who are overseas Offer
ing their lives to keep them safe.
The next time someone hurls
that contemptuous Don't va
know there's a WAR on?" in
your face, you might try saying
Certainly I do. And just what
are you doing about it, may
ask"
Seriously, this little war cry of
the inemcient should be nipped in
the bud. It Is not only discour-
teous, 1t is dangerous. For 1t in
indicates an attitude that helps
to promote the very dissension
and ill-feeling that our enemies
count on to aid them.

of the value of contributing, a
somewhat slower and less atten-
tive service became obvious.
Then, the inn-keepers, never
far behind, took advantage of
this new source of their servitors'
income and paid smaller wages,
pointing out the cash value of the
gratuities. To-day, it is said
that in some dining rooms, the
walters actually pay for the priv
iege of serving guests)
In time, the inn-keepers began
to take hand in the practice
and undertook to regulate it for
the benefit of all their employees.
Then began the practice, espe-
cialy in England, Of the little con-
tribution box, conveniently locat-
