Spence Would Continue Buttino
Feast Aquinst Browns T Tonioht

Against st. Louis, Stan has been
plateward So times and has collected
81 hits. Thus if he obtains only
three hits in II batting appearances
against the Browns in the current
three-game series he still will hit
500 for the season against ST. Louis.
He has been the most important
factor in the Mats 13 triumphs in 19
games with the Browns.
Niggeling After Revenge.
Johnny Niggeling, who has hurled
four successive brilliant games for
the Mats since being obtained from
the Browns, will face his former
mates in one Of the games. The slim
knuckle-ball specialist will seek to
atone for 81 defeat dealt him by
the Browns several weeks ago.
In that engagement Niggeling per-
mitted only six hits. the most he has
allowed in four starts with Wash
ington. He dropped a four-hit 81
decision to the Yankees Spud Chan
dler but otherwise has blanked the
Red Sox. SO. and the Athletics, 10,
both on three hits.
Nlggellng has seen the Mats pro-
duce only one run for him in three
OF his four efforts. He has restricted
the opposition to four runs in four
games and has allowed only Is hits
in 33 innings as Nat His lamenta-
BILE luck this season hasn't been con-
fined to the Mats, for with the
Browns earlier in the year he hurled
two-hit game against the Red
Sox and lost.
While the Mats remain nine games
behind the league leading Yankees
they at least have had the Satisfac-
ton of delaying New York's pennant
party. BY sweeping three games
from the Yankees here the Mats
manufactured their longest winning
streak in recent years and into to-
nights twin bill, slated to start at
$50, they will carry string of IS
consecutive victories at Griffith
Stadium.
Candini on Hill Tonight.
Five victories for the Yankees in
their remaining IA games or five de-
feats for the Mats in their II re-
naming contests would clinch the
pennant for New York. The Mats
could stretch their winning streak
to 81 games and the Yankees still
could capture the flag by grasping
five wins.
Milo Candini. already an 11-game
winner in his first major league sea-
son, will pursue triumph No. II in
tonight's other tiff, with Denny
Galehouse and Bob Muncrief slated
to toll for the Browns, who are
nestled in sixth place.
Washington and st. Louis will
clash tomorrow night in a single
game. The Mats then will remain
idle until Sunday, when the White

says the larger percentages of its
victims get well. Whenever possible,
they are treated at advance hos
pital stations within short dis
lance of the battle that breaks
them. In a few weeks, many go
back into action. All get treatment
overseas, and many recover without
being hospitalized.
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS
Here Is typical picture Of the
severe combat neurosis and the
comeback:
The sufferer is abed after six
weeks jungle fighting. He losses in
catastrophe Nightmares" which
bring back the screaming wings
and the voices of Japs yelling
epithets. Awake, he does not re-
member those, nor seeing his
friends head blown off. He is
morose, ever vigilantly anxious, and
he may display "startle reaction

match near him.
He may be given repeated doses
of sodium amytal. He sleeps Treat
ment begins with about 48 hours
rest. Sometimes it is advisable to
induce a state of twilight sleep
to place the patient in a kind of
no-man's-land between wakefulness
and sleep, by giving him sodium
pentohal. Then the doctor starts
talking to him. forcing him to re-
live his combat experience:
Here come the Japs how
do you feel? There, they got the
sergeant See his head go! How
do you feel?"
The soldier covers under the
bedclothes. He may leap and run
to the door. pounding on it. And

that is his first step toward get
ting well.
For perhaps an hour, by direct
suggestion, the doctor keeps be-
fore the soldier the events of hor-
ror and hardship which inspired
reactions of fear and shame he
could not face consciously-which
caused the neurosis. In his twilight
state, the soldier begins to talk,
and as he does, recalling the things
he had repreSsed, he RECEIVERS.
CURED IN FEW WEEKS
Some need and get further treat
ment, such as group therapy-in
which they talk to each other, and
cure each other. This Is done at
intermediate points. farther back
from the fronts, usually. A man
having severe combat fatigue may
take four or five weeks to get back
to the front. In the Navy, many
are cured more swiftly, aboard
ships.
DR.. Strecker now spends most Of
his time In Washington and at hos
pitfalls In the east. He Is one Of
the Surgeon Generals consultantS
on war neuroses, and he Is the top
advisor to the Navy, the Army Air
Forces and the Merchant Marine.
Strecker recalls that neuro-
pSychiatric casualties numbered
one out Of seven of all casualties
in World War I, and he forecasts
that the incidence will be higher
this time. Chief reasons: partic-
ipantS face death on a vaster and
more violent scale. Also, exposure
to anxiety produsing situations
mental and bodily shock and strain,
especially strain - continue for
longer periods in this conflict. Of
ten, now, the fighters balance is
tipped by such factors: 95 per cent
of the first combat psychonerrotic
caspua1ties suffered also from ply

Court

Charles Leon Collins, 80, New Ha-

Of violating the selective service act.
Collins fought 10 q draw with
Billy Brown Of Waterbury at the
New Haven Arena Monday night
just 10 hours before, he was sup
posed to report for induction for
the second time.
Roger F. Gleason Of the New Ha-

fully evaded induction because by
not appearing, he hoped to stall

actual and q desired self. Even
when we run to catch bus we are
not driven, as the bus is, by pos
terror force, but are drawn from
ourselves seated in the bus and
going to our destination. Purpose
i've activity, in which the future
tense becomes causative, is mans
glory, and nowhere more so than
in the development of personality.
This faculty, however, can func-
ton so abnormally that it tears
life to pieces. The ideal confronts
the actual, and taunts it; our
existent selves Sc our localized
selves tantalizingly out of reach,
and are distraught; in view of the
unattainable that We wish, we be-
come disguised and discouraged
with the actual that we are.
No well-integrated life is pos
sible, therefore, without an initial
act of Self-acceptance, as though

cept myself, with my inherited en-
doWments and handicaps and with
the elements in my environment

cepting the universe, however, is
for many people a simple matter
compared with the far more init

The coxswain of the winning
freshman crew in one of our larg-
est universities was an eighty
seven pound cripple. Stricken with
infantile paralysis in boyhool, he
had dropped out seven years of
schooling. When allowed to study
again he made up for lost time,
and, determined not to be cipher
among his fellows, he saw in his
dwarfted and handicapped body,
even while he was in preparatory
school, the positive makings of a
good coxswain. So, in the univer-
sity, this midget, with crippled
voice so that he needed a special
type of megaphone, and crippled
arms so that he needed a special
type of steering apparatus, won
his race and became the hero Of
the river.
When one considers the varied
kinds of personal response con-
ceivable in such case-rebellion
despair. self-pity, apathy, inertia
and when one imagines the de-
sired selves that must have tan
talized the actual self with their
unattainable allurements, it is
clear that at the center of that
boys positive handling Of his
problem was a courageous act of
self-acceptance.
