ATHLETICS NEAR
MAJOR LEACU E
LOSING RECORD
BY GLEN PERKINS
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

(UHlNu FECSS OtdAA OUEECopVituCutD
New York, Aug. M.-(UP)-The
gent who said: you can't win 'em
ALL" must have had the Philadel-
phia Athletics in mind. Today the
"A's" have lost 10 straight games,
thereby settling the hopes that is
said to spring eternal in the human
breast down to mere hop as far
as the Mackmen and their follow
ers are concerned.
In dropping both ends Of dou-
bleheader to the Chicago White Sox
yesterday, 7-6 in the first and TO
in the nightcap, the Athletics came
within one game of equalling the
American league record held joint
ly by the 1906 Boston Red Sox and
the 1916 crop of Philadelphia Ath-
letics.
Two Home Runs
For a short tim ethe LAS" seemed
about to break the streak when
Bob Estalella homered in the ninth
inning with mate on base to give
the losers GA margin. But IN
the Soxs half of the frame, Guy
Outright duplicated the Estalella
feat off rookie pitcher Lou Cola
and reliefer Russ Christopher came
in to walk the winning run across.
A five-run seventh inning in the
night half of a tWilight-night
doubleheader insured Orval Groves
18th victory OF the season.
The Boston Red Sox defeated the
Cleveland Indians, 81 in scoring
spree which set AL Smith down in
his fifth defeat. George Woods,
rookie Highlander was credited
with the win, though helped through
the last two frames by Tex Hugh
son. All of Boston's IS hits and
nine tallies came off Smith. The
second game of the scheduled dou-
BILE bill was postponed.
Bill zuber pitched the N W York
Yankees to Al triumph over the
Detroit Tigers In a morning game.
Joe Il used to be called FLASH Cor
don, homered in the sixth to &C
count for two Yankee runs and
Nick Etten's long single provided
the league leaders with their other
two In the eighth. Hal Newhouser,
the leagues strikeout king, was
charged with the loss, his eighth
since developing a sore arm. The
second game was postponed.
Five in Tenth
The Washington Senators and the
st. Louis Browns split. Washing
ton took the first, 1915, on a five-run
rally in the tenth. Early Wynn
was the winner after he had re-
lieved Jim Mertz in the ninth.
The Brownies took the nightcap,
81, with Nelson Potter receiving
credit for the triumph over his old
teammate Johnny Niggellingm. Milt
Barnes singled the winning run
across in the sixth inning.
In the only National league game
scheduled, the st. Louis Cardinals
defeated the Boston Braves for the
18th consecutive time this season
Nineteen hits, good for 81 bases
trounced the BeantoWners, 14-5, as
Max Lanier raclsed W his 10th
win of the season. Seven doubles
a triple and Johnny Hopr's second
homer of the season spelled defeat
for starter Nanny Salvo.

was stated yesterday by Rowley
w. Phillips, company president. He
added, that the company has been
extremely lax and indifferent as to
increasing the manufacturing faciIi-
ties Of the place and as result q
great deal Of business has been lost.
"selflsh Interests
He also stated that II was his be-
lief that the present owners Of the
Manville 90. were interested only In
getting all they could out of the
concern and then selling It out
for further profit"
It Is believed that the CLOS re-
quest for an investigation by the
War Production Board Is for rea-
sons extending beyond determining
whether or not the company Is up
for sale. It Is expected that an In
tensive survey Of this board will also
be requested by the union for the
purpose Of clarifying the financial
Structure Of the company's present
set-up.
The Manville Co. was purchased
by the New York group q couple
Of years ago from the Colonial Trust
Co., executors, for an estimated cash
transaction Of some 100000. It Is
known that thereafter they were the
recipients Of various large war con.
tracts that kept the concern going
at top-speed.
Yesterday 1t was stated, however,
by Mr.. Phillips that they have en-
countered tremendous decrease in
orders for heavy type machinery
and as result are now attempting to
enter a different field Of manu-.
featuring for the purpose Of obtain
ing sub-contract work. It is be-
heved that the recent 're-negotia-
ton edict by the government
greatly affected the original con-
tracts held by the concern.
1t Is reported that the present
concern Is made up Of two corpora
tons one known as the Z. ]. Man
vile Corp. Of Connecticut and the
E. ]. Manville Corp. Of Delaware. It
Is known that q warranty deed from
the first company was issued to the
latter, and that q subsequent mort
gage Of $l32,500. was issued to the
latter concern by the Kingsboro
Mortgage Co. Fifth Ave-, N. Y. It
Is not known whether or. not
mortgage was placed on any Of the
original equipment.
The officials Of the concern are
all located in New York with the
exception Of Mr.. Kelly. It has been
stated that most of the companys
business is conducted from that
center. Present top-officials are
Rowley w. Phillips former local
broker and president Of the con-
Germ; Carl Kraft Of New York, vice.
president; J. Leonard Probst Of New
York, treasurer, and Robert B. KEEL
ley, of Waterbury, vice. president.
The latter. Mr. Kelley, Is believed
to be active because Of his relation
to the Brennan family who former
ly held large stock interest In the
original Manville company.

Aldermen Put Quietus
On Old White Elephant
Democrats Defeat Move to Transfer Action on Gafney
School Building to School Officials

The ghost Of q white elephant"
again arose last night in the alder
manic chambers when the subject Of
the disposal Of the Carney school
building was brought up by Alder
man william Gerard (R.).
Alderman Gerard offered the mo-
ton that the board Of aldermen
get out from under this problem by
turning back the entire matter to
the board of education where II
"rightfully belongs" The motion
was subsequently tabled on sugges-
ton OF Aldermanic Leader Daniel
Driscoll CD by a majority vote OF
the Democratic side Of seven to six
The Republican alderman took
the stand that It was difflcult Ia
understand how the school building
could deteriorate so much since erec-
ton In 1924 at a cost Of $4,000 that
1t now brought but a bid Of $500
from q private individual. In turn
It was pointed out, the city has con-
tinued to carry insurance Of $3l, 00C
on the building.
It Is believed that the reason FOL
carrying the above insurance is two.
fold: that the insurance rate Of the
entire school property Is on O sci
schedule and that the Gaffney pre-.
MUM has been maintained in the
belief that the building warrants
such coverage. It has been pointed
out that the property is worth q
great deal more to the city Idle than
the bid price Of $500, and with the
neighborhood building up around the
present site 1t will cost a great deal
more than this bid price to erect O
new school.
The I bling Of the motion last
night means that the matter will
not now be resumed for discussion
until late In November.
Change from a 3 to @ residential
zone was favorably voted upon last
night on the property Of Helen o.
Frenette on Easton avenue on rec
ommendation Of the coming commits
sion which recently held an open
meeting on such matters.
The board turned down, on recon-
mendation Of the same commission,
requests from Esther Sa'imi that her
property at 1877 Waterville street be
changed from 3 to G district and
from Joseph Canning that his prop
erty at 90 Waterville street be
changed in the same way. In both
cases the changes were suggested
by the federal housing authorities
so that the property might be con-
verified into apartments but the OBJ
jections Of other residents in the
neighborhood defeated the measure
on the basis that they were much
more familiar with the district than
was the federal authorities.
The board set q hearing at 7:30
o'clock oct. % on the request of
Eva Sobel that her property at 355
Cooke street be changed from a A
to a B zone for the purpose Of con-
verting to three family house.

many occasions Mr.. Inglis, chief OBJ
server, has spent the entire night on
the post. alone, then gone to work
and on some occasions returned to
the post for another shift the fol-
lowing evening. 1t has been because
Of such sincere and intense efforts
as those that the local center has
sustained such commendable rec
ord.
The local aircraft center oper-
ated by direct wire to Mitchell Field
in New York with the local observer
reporting every plane that passed
within hearing distance, and stating
what type plane, what direction 1t
was proceeding, and similar details.
BY this means the Army headquar-
terS could determine by means Of
their records Just what plane should
be flying over that area at such a
time.
Mr.. Inglis said that starting &C.
tober Is the post atop the City Hall
will be manned every Wednesday
only, from / to 8 p. m. Frank J.
Green, controller Of the District
Warning Center stated that he has
received no word purporting to any
similar regulation that would affect
his center. He said that the warn
ing center will carry on until fur
Their orders from the Army. James
Curtin, Chief Air Raid Warden has
made no announcement as to any
change affecting the report center

and from what has been determined
no word has come through affecting
this latter post.
The governments action may lead
to q revival Of the agitation to les
sen the 'dimout' ban In effect here.
Waterbury is rated as o:Ie of the
darkest" communities In the cuun-
try, unreasonably so by many cri-
tics. Visitors have remarked from
time to time on Wa.erburys' ap-
parent "all-out" effort to comply
with the spirit of the regulations.
For an inland city, Waterbury Is
'blacked out" most effectively.
Mayor John 8. Monogan takes Of
ficial notice Of the war depart
ment's action in the following state
ment:
Last night we received word
from the Army of the temporary
discontinuance Of the twenty four
hour watch in the Spoilers Post on
the City Hall Tower. I want to ex-
press my personal thanks and the
appreciation of the citizens of Wa
terbury for the patriotic and I'M
selfish service that Mr.. Inglis, Mich
ael Toomey and the members of
their organization have given to
their country. They have guarded
the safety of this city, day and
night, in fair weather and foul.
They can find satisfaction in the
knowledge that they have done
their part in furthering our coun-
try's victory in this war"
Frank j. Green, controller of the
Waterbury Warning District, has
been authorized by the Connecticut
War Council to make the following
statement, I'VE have been notified
by State War Administrator, Harold
r. Woodcock, that a statement re-
garding the entire civilian defense
setup in Connecticut Is being pre-
pared. Until such time, we win main
tain our organization as It is. The
air raid drill, scheduled for his week
will be held"
