New York, Jan. Basil O'Con- nor, President of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, will officially open the 1943 fight against Infantile Paralysis with an address over the coast-to-coast net work of the Columbia Broadcasting System on January IA, 10:30 D. m. to 10:45 p. m. (EWT). The annual fund-raising campaign, conducted throughout the United c'ta.cs, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and u . Pan- anna Canal Zone, opens on January l5 and climaxes with the Celebra- tion of President Roosevelt's birth day on Saturday, January 30.
 MT. OConnor, who has headed the National Foundation since its inception in 1888, will point out the necessity of extra precaution against the increased threat of ep- 1demic disease during wartime. He also will review the remarkable work of the Australian nurse, Miss Elizabeth Kenny, whose revolution ary method of treating infantile paralysis victims has resulted in eliminating the after-effects of this crippling disease in many cases. The appeal for funds will be made unGer the campaign theme-"To- morrow's America will be as strong as today's children"

carefully, and patro1men on beats throughout the city will watch for violators of the pleasure-driving regulation.
 The ban has already resulted in the closing of two dining and danc ing establishments near the city and it is expected that others will be forced to close within the very near future. D'Angelo's restaurant on Watertown avenue has been forced to shut down, but a spokes- man for Rocco Diorio, owner of the Waverly Inn in Cheshire, said this morning that the popular eat ing place would remain open.
 Miss Julia Smith, manager of the State theater, expressed the opin- ion that the driving ban will help the motion pictures. She said that last nights attendance was one of the largest during the month, and pointed out that there were but 70 or 12 cars in the nearby parking lot. Edward Fitzpatrick, Poli thea ter manager, said his business was somewhat better than average last night, and opined that the ban would act as benefit inasmuch as it would keep Waterburians from going out-of-town for their amuse- ment. He estimated that the busi- ness lost in out-of-town trade would be more than compensated by the local turnout.

CHANGED ORGANIZATIONS
OF MAJORS

SiSler was never IN trouble
with an umpire or another play
cr III his life.
The only row he ever caused
was innocently precipitatcd, and
he was such an important figure
even at the outset that it chang
ed completely the organization
of major league baseball. He
signed a contract with Pitts
burgh as a minor. His father
signed one with the Browns. The
old National Commission-Gar-
ry Hermann of Cincinnati and
the league presidents decided
in favor of the Browns.
Branch Hickey, then managing
the Browns, coached Sisler at
Michigan. What could have been
more natural than young Sisler
wanting to go to his coach? But
Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the
Pirates, never forgave the Fall
staffian Hermann q the
league presidents, battled until
the National Commission was
junked and Commissioner Lam
dis put in charge.
Sisler reported to the Browns
as a pitcher upon being gradual
ed from Michigan in 1918, but
Hickey purchased a half dozen
first Easements gloves and told
him TO take his pick. He pitched
now and then early in his big
league career only as an added
attraction on a big day. He d
tackle someone like Walter
Johnson and, if memory serves,
he once beat the Big Train, 10,
and lost to him, 21.
Hickey recalls the first time
Sisler went to bat in the Amerl-
can League.
There we're a couple Of men

the Brooklyn club, and imagine

Rusty Tigers
Open Series

Entire Four Come

BY WATSON SPOELSTRA

DETROIT, May II - (P) -
The Detroit Tigers, growing ex-
tremely rusty due to prolonged
inactivity, thought they saw
soft touch today in the cellar
dwelling Boston Red Sox, but
looks are often very deceiving.
The champion New York YAM
KEGS left town last night after
their entire four game series at
Briggs Stadium was postponed,
and the Red Sox came in for
single games today and tomor-
row folloWe by Sunday dou-
ble-header that ends Detroit's
current home stand.
Boston gained a double VIC
tory yesterday over the Cleve-
land Indians but it failed to hoist
the Red Sox out of the basement.
Nevertheless il gave Joe Cron-
ms club a record of four victor
les against two defeats in its
swing west and maybe the t.
gers won't have tea party af-
ter all.
Of no small interest i'm the
Boston series will be the return
Of old AL Simmons, the prime
Tiger bust of 1886 (remember?)
who is making comeback.
After yesterdays scheduled
twilight game was called off be-
cause of rain, General Manager
Jack Zeller of the Tigers got out
his pencil and figured out how
the four games would be played
off. First of all, a double header
has been created for Saturday,
July 3. Another double bill is
set for Aug. 90, originally an
open date, and a single encount-
er Aug. %, another open date.
That's bound to be quite a
drain on the Tiger mound staff,
which numbers only eight pitch
ers.
