Mickey Cochrone Doomed As Next Red Sox Manager

in the runner.up spot four times but never have hit the jackpot.
 Croylin won favor with New Eng land fans as Q playing manager be- cause of the reckless abandon with which he inserted himself as c pinch hitter at critical times and his un. canny ability to hit when the chips were down.
 Second Guessing
 But Red sox rooters have been second-guesSing Cronin with c ven. geance of late, especially in his handling of pitchers. Tn support of their arguments, they cite the eases of ace rlnoundSmen as Jim Bagby of the Indians, Buck NewSom of the Athletics, Fritz OStermueller of the Pirates, Nelson Potter of the Browns and others unable to win under Croi,in who became stars after leav- ing the Sox.
 It Is generally agreed, though, that Cronin has satisfied both Yaw- key and Collins, and Is due for Q front oftlce post as soon as he doffs hdS uniform.

DIZZY TROUT SILENCES BIG
 YANKEE BATS
By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Stan Correspondent

(Unlte0 EfoSS StoM COrEeSpOnuemGD
 New York, Sept. 5-(UP)-It was almost quiet enough to hear a bomb drop in the Detroit dressing room, but in all the bedlam following a 10 to o victory over the Yankees there wasn't one word about Q pen- narit.
 The cheering was for Paul (Dizzy) Trout, whose seven-hit moundcraft silenced the Yankee bats and Hank Greenberg and Roger (Doc) Cram CT, whose booming homers paced the l5-hit attack. The victory boosted their lead to two-and-a- half games, widest margin they have enjoyed in nearly three weeks.
 Pennant talk is taboo in a race as tight as the American league stretch drive and besides the Tigers had won only one game in a series of seven. But there was back-slap- ping, exchanging of compliments, and other evidences of confidence.
 Morale Booster
 Trout's return to form was a big morale booster because the pitch ing staff Is weakened badly for the six remaining games in the all-im- portant series with the Yankees. The big winner, Lefty Hal New houser, still Is in Detroit with a side injury, Even If he pitches in the series he may not be in top form. Alton Benton, a sensation early in the season Is In a slump. He failed to finish his last six starts and has gone without victory since Aug, 6, Little Tommy Bridges, "tickled to death to be back In uniform-T mean baseball uniform" injured the long finger on his pitching hand in his first appearance since leaving the army. That spreads the staff pretty thin, leaving only Frank tStubby) Overmire, Les Mueller, Feb Eaton, Jim Tobin and George Caster most of whom are relief pitchers.
 Manager Steve O'Neill was elated over the good start" but he said we're not forgetting we have six more games here and five at Wash- ington and we could get into plenty of trouble In both places"
 The Tigers made all their hits off starter Allen Gettel, Trout touched off the offensive with single which drove in the first run, But they could do nothing for three and-a-third innings against 43- year-old Paul Schreiber, who took over as @ Yankee hurler

Batting Proetiee Pitcher Aids Yanks

New York, Sept. 5-UP)- Mgr. Joe Mccarthy of the Yankees offered . perfectly logical explanation today of why he decided to make . re- lief pitcher out of gangling Paul Schrclber, 43, whose last hurllng stint as a major leaguer was with Brooklyn In 1924.
 Schreiber, Yankee batting practice pitcher since 1887 de- velOped a knuckle ball to give the hltters practice against the pitch which has come into an era of great popularity in the American League this season.
 "Our batters couldn't hit against him so we figured maybe the other players wouldn't be able to either" Mccarthy said.
 Schreiher, in his first start against the Tigers yesterday, held them hitless for three and Q third innings after Detroit had blasted starter Allen Get tel for l5 hits and . 10 to 0 victory.

Blair Girl Spends
Vacation Working in
Agriculture Dept.
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By Kathleen Faulconer. II,
Montgomery Blair High School,
Silver Sprlng

Montgomery Blair High School,
Silver Spring.
They told me the building in which
I was to work this summer was the
third largest Office structure in the
world. But I wasn't impressed. I
thought, 1T isn't as big as the
Pentagon-at least, you can get
around without getting lost"
The personnel director showed me
to my Office the afternoon of June
l8. And, to start things off right,
the very next morning I was unable
to remember the location of my Of
flee.
I found it. though-I'm not so
dumb-and I've been working there
ever since. Of course, if the boss
should say, Take this file down to
4205-that's in the second wing on
the fourth floor"-I would imme-
diately feel some sort of spell COM
ing on.
But, so far, life has treated me
o. K, and my little typewriter and
I find the Office very coy. And I
no longer have trouble finding my
way in and out because veteran
girl employe escorts me every morn
ing and evening
Pardon me-the boss is speaking.
-. He wants me to go to the sub
basement of the Administration
Building for some property rec
ordS.
Oh, well, was planning to quit
soon, anyhow. The Department of
Agriculture is the biggest dolgarned
place I've ever been Inland I'm
going back to Blair!

Nearby Marvland's
Teen.Age Canteen
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By Janet Hilferfy, Is,
Hyattsville High School.

"The Navy wants to congratulate
you on something that might pos
sibly prevent another war" This
was said by Navy 1t. Robert Young,
a guest at the Hyattsville Teen-Age
Canteen.
1t. Gene Kelly also was supposed
to be at the canteen that night, but
the Navy had other plans for him.
1t. Pearson, who was with 1t.
Young. thought the canteen the
SWEETEST idea I've ever heard Of"
1t. Young had made a movie
which he was going to show to us.
1t was called The Fleet That Came
to Stay" and it was made from an
airplane over Okinawa on Easter
Sunday.
In the movie, we saw several Jap
anese boys plotting their planes to
death. We also got a glimpse of
Ernie Pyle, the famous war corre-
spondent, who later was killed by the
Japs on lie Shima.
The canteen has a big dance
floor and an excellent CAMERON
The orchestra was a very good Navy
band.
We were little disappointed be-
cause Gene Kelly couldn't be there.
incidentally, I was going to inter-
view him, but I think every one had
very enjoyable time.

of the pine tree are fastened to the
trunk. They are filled with tar, and
they burn with a brilliant, lasting
flame.
Find dead pine tree and chop of

deep into the trunk at the joint Of
the limb, for that is where the best
part of the pine knot is Light the
torch at this end, where the link
joined the tree. This torch will give
good strong light and will last
surprisingly long.
Another good torch may be made
Of birch bark. Cut a strip of bari
about inches wide and / or feet

forth three or four times, and faster
it to the end Of split stick. which
is used as q handle. The birch
bark will burn readily and give 9
good light. although 1t will not Last

Recent A merican
Prints at National
Museum

The Division of Graphic Arts,
United States National Museum, has
drawn upon its own resources for
the August exhibition in the Smith
sonian Building, to remain through
September 2. Twenty-Five prints
in various media offer generally con-
sentative work by recent and con-
temporary artists. These periodic
shows from the permanent collec-
ton suggest that the division of
graphic arts could stage interesting
theme shows in prints; some based
on subject matter, others on differ
ent artists reactions to identical
places, still others on technique, to
mention a few.
The earliest prints are two etch-
ings by 10Th century American
artists whose names are COM
paratively unfamiliar today, Henry
Farrer and Mary Nimmo Moran.
Farrer was born in London in 1843,
came to the United States when he
was Is and died at his Brooklyn
home in 1908. During his four
decades in New York he was secre-
tary of the American Water Color
Society for many years, constant
contributor to its exhibitions and
an active member of other profess
sional organizations, including Lon
dons Royal Society of Painter
Etchers.
Mary Nimmo Moran Q842- 1899
was the wife of Thomas Moran,
American landscape painter who
pioneered in painting panoramic
transcriptions of our Far West and
quite overshadowed her, although
she was an artist in her own right.
Her etching Twilight" and Henry
Farrer's Sunset" are technically
competent, peaceful scenes, with a
deep quietude about them seldom
encountered today. Contemplating
these worthy 10Th century artists
one wonders how many of today's
$4,000 American artists will escape
a similar semioblivion.
Born in the same year G859) were
Childe Hassam and George Ebert
Burr. Evening, Arizona" by Burr,
is one of the most accomplished
prints in the present group. This
