halls hitless wonders of 1914
turned sluggers for two in
nings today as the surprising
Browns whipped the Cardi-
mails, 6 to 2, in the third game
If the World series and took
commanding lead of two
Games to one over their St.
Louis rivals.
Held to two hits in winning the
series opener and to seven while
dropping the second, the American
league champions pounded out five
of their eight hits in four-run
third inning and ripped through the
highly regarded Cardinal pitcing
staff for a pair of doubles in the
seventh to score two more needless
tallies.
The Browns porous lnfield and
Pitcher Jack Kramer gave their
supporters among the crowd of a.
1877 some cause for worry in the
first inning when the Cards scored
an unearned run, but from there
on the 26-year-old former ssabee
from New Orleans was in perfect
control of the situation. The Brown
les defense opened up to let an
other unearned run through in the
seventh. Kramer was master of
the day otherwise, striking out 10l
and walking only two as he gave
Up seven scattered hits.
The underdogs' victory put the
Cardinals on the spot but Manager
Billy Southworth said he would
send Southpaw Harry Brecheen out
tomorrow in an attempt to square
accounts. Sig Jakucki was Luke
Sewelrs choice for the + curt h
game Brecheen won 16 and lost
while Jakucki, had 1873 record
during the regular season.
After shaky second inning, in
which he walked three men, Ted
Wilks, 29-year-old rookie who COM
piled 17-4 record during the reg
ular season, pulled himself togeth-
er and retired the first two men
in the third before the roof fell in.
Gene Moore lined a single to right
and then in rapid succession, Vern
Ste~hens, George McQuinn, Ala
rilla and Mark Christman lashed
singles to either center or right,
accounting for three runs.
That was the end of Wilks and
brought Fred Schmidt on the
scene. He let loose wild pitch,
after walking Red Hayworth inten-
tionally, to let the foul tn run cross.
The runs were scored by Moore,
Stephens, McQuinn and Zarilla
with Christman joining McQuinn,
ar Zarilla in receiving credit for
driving them in.
Schmidt had passed FIR m the
scene for pinch hitter and Al
Jurisich was on the mound when
doubles by Don Gutteridge a d
McQuinn and a passed ball by Wal
ker Cooper, Cardinal catcher, ac-
counted for the seventh inning

Gutte-idge, whose error on an
attempted double play led to the
Cards second run, led off with a
double off the right field screen,

there are differences of opinion on the
selection, but general speaking the play
selection offers the most controversy. We
note that Howard Hanson won the prize

Boston Symphony last December.

Stephen Vincent Benet met with general

it was not surprising to see awards go to

Gratuities Come High

American workmen are watching
their pay checks and today they find a
substantial and growing difference be-
tween their rate of pay and what is taken
home" says David B. Robertson, Presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Engineers eve wonder if
such government procedure will event.
ually give rate of pay of $50 week to
the man in the cab of locomotive and
permit him to take home only $40
week."
Brother you have asked a question
which has simple answer: The more
the man in the cab or the man on the
street expects the government to do for
HMM other words, the more handouts
he seeks on the theory that the govern
ment can do something for him which
he cannot do for himself, or which can
not be done by his fellow citizens - the
less he will have left in his pay check,
regardless of its size.
Government can give the individual
nothing in the shape of gratuities, which
it first does not extract from him by the
taxation route. The more it gives, the
higher the taxes. And it makes no diff
ference whether the gratuity be called
social security, free electricity, food sub
sides, Socialized medical care, or what
not-the cost will come out of the pay
check, and the less the individual will be
able to do for himself. The price of finan-
cial dependence on government is the
loss of individual independence.

Alcoholics Anonymous

It has rightfully been said that only
someone who has been an alcoholic and
then has escaped the thraldom can inter-
pref the experience. This is the secret
of the remarkable success of the organ
ization known as Alcoholics Anonymous,
a local branch of which has been recently
established.
This local group, like the others about
the country, is made up principally OF
men and women who openly admit to
themselves that they were one time al
coholics or are still on the fringe of such
a state. Their principal aim in organic
ing as group is to help other alcoholics
to recover.
Not being reformers or saints" they
offer their experience only to those who
want it. Theirs is that attitude that
each mans religious views, if any, are
his own affairs. The only requirement
for membership in this organization is
an honest desire to stop drinking.
Their approach to alcoholism is based
upon their own drinking experiences plus
what they have learned from medicine
and psychiatry and upon spiritual princi
piles common to all. Alcoholism is viewed
as an illness; IAN obSeSsion of mind
coupled to an allergy of body. Only the
alcoholic or the "eX"- can describe the
shattering and benumbing affects of such
an illness.
Waterbury is fortunate in having such
an organization in it's midst. It's func-
tions are performed quietly and without
fanfare, yet with effectiveness and real
ity. There is no desire for gratitude on
the part of its members of publicity
as to efforts. They are anonymous in their
performance but their success, in this
country, is written indelibly in the minds
of thousands who have benefited. It is
heartening to know that such a spirit is
foStered beneath the surface strata of
everyday living, here in Waterbury.
