Editor Tall Tower Topics - After reading recent letter in your esteemed column few days ago share the opinion of many broadmnded citizens that members Of the fire and police departments owe its author Mrs Andrew Finley of 15l Chestnut Avenue Mrs Finley had the kindness and the courtesy to publicly praise an - known policeman for his thoughtfuneSs in assisting stranded heater patrons and others the night of the hurricane This policeman, according to Mrs. Finley, advised worried homegoers to remain under cover from the clements while he signaled to busses and had them stop to pickup passengers It was nice bit of work admittedly. should have been among the first to acknowledge it, but like others witnessing good deeds performed by public servants take 1t for granted that It Is what they paid for and no other remuneration even verbal bouquets Is necessary think others should initiate Mrs Finley and when they witness good act on the part of freen policemen give public conmen daon of It. am sure the commissioners of both boards would appreciate it. would have written before, but owing to business reasons felt that my motives would be interpreted want to add my word of praise to that of Mrs Finley for that policeman also assisted members of my family Why not obtain his others bene fited can thank him also Respectfully, an East Main Street Business Man. (Eds note. Our police reporter informs me that the policeman mentioned by Mrs Finley Is supernumerary Policeman stephen Kawech. So take a bow, Steve. Next2

Martin, the old Wild Hoss of the Osage, were less conservative. Both admitted that Detroit would be more dangerous as a world series opponent. Consequently, both hoped the Browns would win the American League flag.
 They emphasized that the Tigers had the greater threat in Q pitching staff headed by the 53 game win ners, Right-Handed Dizzy Trout and Southpaw Hal Newhouser, and in club batting power. However, both cautioned against the air-tight infield of the Browns which they admitted has the best in the major leagues and the reason for the clubs success.
 It is our hunch that this final week of the baseball season will be almost as tough on Billy South worth, sharpening his squad for the series, as it will be upon either Man. agers Steve o'Neill of Detroit or sewell of the Browns in trying to ciinch Q berth in the classic.

 New York Sept. 96 tUPD - Billy southw0rth secm6 to be "WhBlin past the graYeyerd' %Geh he assures reporters that hib Cafa' inals haze snapped oht oE theiF slump
 That's the impression We got while sheeting the breeze with Bllly.thc' Kid in the dug0ut before yesteFdays game at Brooklyn
 Tie middle.siScd manager in tHe gray road uniform had Just come out Of c clubhouse meeting with HIS players at which, we understand, he had tried to whip up more pep Be- meath the veneer of his smile, hls nerves were raw, one could almost feel his edge"
 Turning on q grin AB II with q faucet, Southworth said, I'm glad Co see the boys snapplng out Of ite"' the way they're doing We were in Q pretty bad slump before we started this eastern trip We had our ears pinned baek-good, tt Wa8 our only dump of the season, It was to bo expected, And 1 believe it did the whole club c lot of good-givlng the boys something to work out Of De. fore the series"
 That monologue may look good in print, but it didn't sound as good as It iooks-comlng from c guy who was just about aS convincing as Maxie Baer at Speeulator, N Y,, when he was training for his fight with Joe Louis. Baer was one up on souhtworth because he knew, ct least, for whom he was condition ing. Southworth isn't sure whether the opponent will be the Detroit Tigers or St. Louis Browns, now deadlocked in the American League flag race.
 But he knows that both clubs are hot from the stretch crawling in the junior circuit; and he knows that the Cards-who were g-i-v-e-n yeS- terday's 3-i victory over the Brook iyn Dodgers--have made just one legitimate tally in 28 innings. They beat the Dodgers yesterday on three ,jnearned runs, by virtue of three official errors and o few other un- ofiicial miscues that did not reach the box score.
 Four Close Ones
 The tainted" victory ran the League Champions string to six but they were not the type of wins tc bring ready smiles to the face of the usually genial Southworth. All were recorded against clubs dounderinl in the second division and four were by one run margins.
 Tn shepherding such Q club toward a world series in which his pros' pective opponent Is bound to come in '.hot", Southworth has become bit iittery at thought of either the Tigers or Browns.
 The smile froze on his face when asked which club he thought would win the American League pennant He refused comment when asked which of the two contenderg nc thought would prove the most dam gerotls to the cards.
