To several readers of the Tower who have expressed appreciation of Eddie Cantor impressive appeal for greater spiritual support of the effort it is pleasure tonight to reprint the full text of his Wednesday eye-
 ning's broadcast for prayers "The physical imple-
 ents of must be speeded to in everincreas ing strength But let send them, too the spiritual implements Our faith our love, our prayers Let us go to our churches. Now, today, tomorrow You to yours, to mine. Let us join in community of prayer for the safety for the lives of those so dear to us all There is House of God you. Don't wait for its bells to ring out the victory Its doors always open =. God is always there. And peace may come one day you will work for it and pray for it at your house of worship and at home The Church lives for you In lands of tyranny when all the institutions of cviza tion science art and government-succumbed to the will of the oppressor it religion which alone stood out and resisted evil. An undaunted voice, proclaim ing the triumph of the spirit which lifts man above persecution and fortfes him against violence. So let us fill the churches with prayers for just and last ing peace Let pleas be heard around the world so that within the churches of the conquered countries they will hear and know that greater day is coming for all people everywhere. That through prayer we will be united. With Peace earth. And good will toward men of good will"

Catholic Information
Six times three and
 Q rosary

The foursome had just completed its 18-hole round on Jim Doak's three -hole, backyard golf course, when the thing happened.
 Lolling in the big porch rockers they were discussing the game when Art Fisher, in drawing forth lis handkerchief, inadvertently flung to the floor a circle of brown beads. Immediately there followed tense silence, which Art broke with the casual words: What's the matter? It's only my Rosary.
 But" he continued, picking up the beads, T can guess what you are thinking, SO let me briefly ex- plain that you may think that way no longer.
 "Of course you recognize the cru cif1x here at the end-the emblem of Christianity. In the circle you will note five series of eleven beads each, the first in each case being slightly separated from the ten that follow. On each of these sep arated beads we recite the Our Father or Lords Prayer. On each of the ten that follow we say the Hail Mary or Ave Maria.
 "The complete Rosary consists of three times as many beads as you see here, but by going through this thrice, I complete the whole devo- ton, just as we all completed full round of golf just now by playing these three holes six times over.
 'Tiresome? Not bit of 1t If we say our Rosary correctly; for we do more than recite the beautiful prayers have mentioned; we also mediate on the great mysteries which have to do with our Divine Saviour's birth, life, death and res- urrection, and also the part which His Blessed Mother played therein. Fifteen sublime mysteries, upon which the child or ignorant adult can mediate according to his ca pacity. Fifteen stupendous myster- ies upon which the wisest theologian can dwell time without number and never exhaust his source of godly inspirations.
 An ever-howing fountain, of thoughts that raise us high. An cver-acceptable tribute to Christ, our God and King. A frequently answered pleading to the mother of us all, for prayers and interces- sion to Him who loves her most. That, is the Rosary.
 "Yes, Jimmie, old scout, I know what you're thinking: Vain repeti- tion AS the heather do.' Surely we've had 1t here this evening but not in the Rosary. Six times over we have played these three holes of golf; and look at the score-card. On each repetition you have been worse, Jimmie-Worse in score, worse in your heathenish condem- nation of a little ball. Vain repeti- tion! I'll leave it to the crowdw

LAMENT OF THE GRoCERYMAN
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER


I'm heartily sick of potatoes, That goes too for tomatoes I'm indifferent to every stammer and stutter, Each plea for just one pound of butter
 Alas, vain regrets
 What price cigarettes! I'm impervious to each request For a pound of coffee-your best. Was 1t I who continually boasted Of our best coffee expertly roasted.
 I'm sick of idle bets
 About who's next for cigarettes! Don't beg me for pound Of yams, large and sound You state fruit juices are must, Say that again and I'll bust.
 Alas for vain regrets,
 What price cigarettes!

New York, July 3.-Hot weather and hot pennant races have corn- hined to make hot tempers in both major league circuits, and if things continue at this pace we are likely to see a record number of beefs, hrawls and bruised knuckles before the flag scrambles close in Septem- Der.
 Closest approach to full scale riot was that affair in St. Louis when pitcher George Caster of the Browns fired pitch into the White Sox dugout, hopeful it would make solid contact with Chicago player who owned a rather caustic tongue. Caster missed his man but lit the fuse for a bout which saw half the Brownie team invade the Chisox bench for round of fist-swing- ing. Result: $550 in fines and an old-fashioned lecture from Will Harridge. American league presi- dent.
 A few nights later the usually placid Dixie Walker surprised even Brooklyn fans, who are used to anything. when he threw his bat into the dirt and tackled Ewald Pyle. Braves hurler, with intentions of violence. Tn backing up play at third. Pyle had tripped Goody Rosen, Dixie's team mate, who was streaking for the plate. Walker figured it was done purposely. gave Pyle good pum- meling before they were torn apart.
 Tt was worth it." exclaimed Dixie as he ponied up a $75 fine. That Pyle is nasty fellow"
 Catcher Al Lopez of the Pi- rates was also parted from $75, the result of treading on the toes of umpire George Barr. Lopez claims Barr questioned his cour- age on a play at the plate.
 Bucky Walters, soft tempered hurler of the Reds, finally blew . fuse on umpire Lou Jorda and was ejected from a ball game for the first time in eight years. Bucky tried to stretch a double Into three bases. was called out, and showed Jorda about the in- field to illustrate his diSpleasure.
 Little Mel Ott, usually a peace loving r:;;aa:2, was in a frothing rage when he slapped pitcher Bill Voiselle with that unfortu- nate $500 fine, later withdrawn. And the most publicized row of the wear was the one in which Leo Durocher was accused of having fan dragged out of a box seat so that his jaw could be quietly broken under the stands. This case, postponed by the courts because the fan finds it
