Nick Altrock and AL Schacht.
two baseball clowns, teamed up
for man years, yet neither could
make the other laugh. These two
trouperS would work in harmony
TO make the public laugh. but be-
hind the scenes there was a
smoldering mutual dislike that
finally ended in an open break.
They refused to speak to each
other.
There is a baseball legend that
it was brought about by Schacht
crossing Nick in juggling act.
Al used TO juggle three baseballS
and bounce one off Nick'S head.
The one used in the bouncing was
a white rubber ball. One day so
the story goes, al bounced a real
baseball off Nick's head, by an
honest mistake, he claims Nick
refused to believe it and the first
seed of distrust was sown.
TARGETS FOR JOKES
A transforming trip in 1880
didn't help cement relations be-
tween these two. The point of the
open break had just been reached,
aided and abetted by the Major
League All-Stars. The two come
dams were the targets of prac-
teal jokes the whole trip. Leave
it TO a bunch of ball players TO
take advantage of a situation like
this. Arriving in Los Angeles,
they were not speaking.
One of the ball players, disguis-
ing his voice called al Schacht
on the phone:
"Mr. Schacht, my name Is Mr..
So and So. I'm president of one
Of HollywOod's aior studios. !

Dance GiUen At Dual St.
Center Is Grand Success
Bv MARY J. MCKNIGHT

"a Christmas Night long to be
remembered" by twelve hundred
and eighty-three service men and
boys who attended the dance at
the Duval Street Center, NCCS-
USO, was the concensus of opin-
ion following the affair.
1t was a gay celebration, al
though hundreds present would
have liked to have been at home
on that night of all nights of the
year. Greeting them was a sea
of smiling faces of those ador-
able young hostesses, "The Vic
tory Girls, and prettier maidens
could not be found in the South
Gf we. do say so or shouldn't).
What perfect setting these
"Sweethearts of America" made
on this occasion, wearing eve
ming gowns in every hue of the
rainbow; silks, satins, velvets,
chiffons, laces and airy fairy
feathery materials, shedding a
radiance of colors while swing
ing around in the dances, chas-
ing away the ''home blues" of
their partners.
These junior hostesses deserve

much praise for the very earnest
efforts put forth by them to take
the place of the boys loved ones
at home during this Christmas
tide. The girls are from the
best families in Key West, pa
triotic to the core, always prop
erly chaperoned by the Catholic
Daughters of America, as well
as their mothers and friends.
The secret of their glamour
is their charm of manner, grace,
simplicity and refinement. A for
mer USO directress investigator
paid high tribute to them, cred
iting the refined atmosphere
found at the Duval Center to
these attributes and the CDA SUI
pervision.
While expected by many, still
it was surprise and disappoint-
ment to learn that the director
of the center, Julian Carballo, had
already left for Puerto Rico to
establish a USO-NCCS Center.
Mr.. Carballo merits the highest
praise for the renovation of the
Duval Center, an accomplish

ment he well might be proud of.
The sincere good wishes and
prayers of his friends here will
follow him.
James McFarlane, program di-
rector, left alone through Mr..
Carballo's departure, handled
the enormous Christmas crowd
in a very efficient manner. Mr..
McFarlane is favorite of all the
boys and wears well" with the
service men. 1t would be a very
agreeable and acceptable gift if
Washington Headquarters gave
him to the center as director for
the New Year. We must not
overlook Mrs. James McFarlane,
who made an ideal assistant at
the dance, helping wherever
needed. With her winsome smile
and non-dictorial approach, she
made friends with one and all in
her contacts. An ideal couple
for USO activities.
The chaplains were all pres
ent. The moderator of the USO-
Noes center, Rev. Thomas Ath-
erton, ST., with his face wreath
ed in smiles, just beaming with
happiness, greeted his friends
with the heartiest of handshakes,
expressing good wishes for the
coming New Year and thanking
those for their membranes
during the Holy Season. Rev.
Anterior made his way through
the crowds, spreading his good

most thought he had Victory
hid somewhere about him and
that he would so announce ''the
war is over
The Rev. Father Terrence
King, 81, the favorite of the
Victory Girls, was there and, as
usual, the center of their attrac-
ton. The gathering could not
be complete without Father
King, engaging him in gay re-
partee. He always wins the
points, but, ah, that little rebel
from Boston, Miss Susie Warnock,
gives him the Bunker Hill an
swers and sometimes gets away
with it. Father King knows each
girl by name and from where
she halls, which is the highest
endorsement for our young la
dies. ... -.,-...
! The Rev Thomas Fallon, Re
demptorist. in his uniform of lieu
tenant-major, looked mighty
fine. He is popular with the
sailors, being the Navy Chaplain.
Father Fallon was an interested
I spectator and was trying to To-
cate the newly-arrived chaplain,
Rev. George Murphy, 81. Now
the Murphys will be in the ma
iority at St. Mrav's Rectory.
Our own beloved Father John
Murphy will have a time explain
ing who is the chaplain.
The thrilling climax to the
festivities was the grand rush to
the Oasis, the. bar where the
delicious punch and cookies are
served by the Mothers" of the
CDA. Tired, no doubt, at the
close Of a strenuous day serv-
ice in their own homes, the
daughters of Court, Mary Star
of the Sea-, were at their Sta
tionS ready to serve the sons of
other mothers, who, like them
selves, were wondering, "Wherc
is my wandering boy tonight.
Well dear mother, if he was at
the Duval Center, he was well
cared for and as safe as if he
was in Gods pocket, with
mothers like Pauline Pinder,
Annie Wells, Mamie De Barcee
and Margaret Dion, and if you
could have heard their motherly |
voices saying, ooh, sure; God |
bless you son, you can have all |
the punch and cookies you
want!", I'm sure, mother, you'd |
been satisfied.

CONN. FINANCIAL
 PICTURE IS GOOD

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 17-(UP)- State Comptroller John M. Dove said today the surplus in the states treasury gives Connecticut "the best financial conditions in its history.
 Dove, Democratic candidate for reelection, said that despite the in- creased expenditures mot one single service maintained by the state during Gov. Hurley's administra- ton has been dropped.
 Dove said $i5,O00, 900 has become available during Gov. Hurley's ad- ministration for debt reduction.
 Meantime, former Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin, Republican candidate or reelection, said in a radio ad- dress that Gov. Hurley was wrong when he quoted him as saying '1 believe that agriculture is dying industry in our state"
 Baldwin said;
 "When Connecticut farm work CTS can produce the finest tobacco in the world. the best turkey and fowl, thousands and thousands oi dozens of eggs, garden vegetables to supply not only the local mar kets of New York. Springfield, Wor- cester and Providence, certainly Connecticut agriculture is mol dead"

 Savings Account

A temporary injuction has been issued by Superior Court Judge John Rufus Booth restraining Mrs. Mary Boldysh of Waterbury from with drawing funds from a U. s. Postal savings account in her name.

STATE COLLECTS NEARLY $3OO,OOO
Restitution or Wages to Employees Last Month
 Amounted to S2O,540

Hartford, Conn. October 17--Res- titution of $20,549 to Connecticut employees because of wage-hour vio- lations in September was announc- ed today by State Labor Commits sioner Cornelius J. Danaher. The highest amount paid by one com- pany was in excess of $4,500, Mir. Danaher said, and 368 employees participated in the money received.
 According to MT. Danaher. these latest collections have brought the total amount collected for wage hour violations in this state to $2e9, ,l94 since the state labor de- partment took over the enforce ment of the federal fair labor prac. tice act two years ago. Mere than $500 employees have received resti- tuition of wages during this same period, with an average payment in excess of $35 to each person.
 The sum collected. MT. Danaher said. arose from failure of employ CTS to pay the minimum wage set by law or, in other instances, fail- ure to pay overtime rates in accor- darce with the federal statute.
