Indian Service Hospitals Become American Hospital Association Members

The 69 Indian Service hospitals and sanatoriumS in the United States have become members of the American Hospital ASsocia- ton, Commissioner of Indian Af- fairs William A. Brophy announc- ed today.
 The Indian Service, which is the largest operator of small hospitals in the country, thus will cooperate with hospitals throughout the United States in exchanging the latest information on adminiStra- tive, professional and technical hospital developments and prac- tices, Commissioner Brophy said.
 The long experience of the In- dian Service in hospital and health programs in rural areas may very well be helpful to others, Commis- sioner Brophy pointed out. The hospitals, the first of which was built in 1884, have been commun- ity health centers. Local health programs are founded on the ac- tive participation of the Indian tribal health committees which work with the doctors and nurses of the Indian Service.
 Medical attention and a general health program are made avail able to more than 100000 Indians Eskimos and Aleuts. The hospitals in continental United tSates range in size from 10 beds to 335, and average about 50 beds. In addl- ton there are seven hospitals and sanatoriums in Alaska, and a 200 bed tuberculosis sanatorium is to be built at Sitka. The total value annually of services furnished is estimated at not less than S10,- 000,000 at current rates.

Automatic Pin Setter WU Be BoontoBoWlinq|
BY JOSEPH NOLAN

Cambridge, Mass, Aug. l5-CUP) Henry Sacco, one of the nations largest bowling alley operators, an- nounced today he has found an automatic pin-setter that will elim- mate pinboys, and may even do away with proprietors like himself.
 Henry, the talking half of Sacco- Rubbicco Bowling Alley Co.,, Inc, which has operated as many as A alleys at one time, said the new cleo trically-controlled mechanism works like this:
 After finishing a box, the bowler simply presses button. All candle pins remaining on the alley are dumped into the rear pit, and car ried on a conveyor belt into a small elevator. The pins then are lifted to triangular frame overhead where they are fed into 10 slots. The frame is lowered to the alley, set- ting up the pins in perfect order.
 Fast Work
 It's all done in 10 seconds-and done better and more cheaply than it could be handled by pinboys.
 Sacco feels confident that event. ually the machine can be put on a coin-deposit basis. The bowler would drop dime in the slot, watch the pins fall into place, and bowl out his string-just as easy as that.
 of course" unused Sacco, that would put fellows like me out of a job All we do is collect the money, and make change. But it might not be bad idea after all."
 Partners
 The gadget is the brain-child of retired Middleboro bowling alley operator and amateur inventor, John F. Murphy. But Sacco will be in charge of distribution when the ma chine starts rolling off the assembly line next spring. The shortage of certain metals has prevented earlier delivery to the scores of alleys that already have sent in orders.
 Among the advantages Sacco sees in the automatic pin-setter are these:
 It speeds up the game considerab- ly.
 It is absolutely accurate in spot ting pins.
 It affords better illumination on the pins.
 It is silent.
 When say silent" Sacco hasten ed to explain, T mean it never gets mad and tells the customer to go to hell"

Dayton, O., Aug. .l5-Trapshoot- ing being a sport that knows no age, the Grand American tourna- ment that has been run annually without interruption since 1900 may find attention centering dur ing this years renewal on 15- year-old boy who has spent all his life in this city almost in the shadows of the permanent Amateur Trapshooting Association grounds at nearby Vandalia field.
 The youngster who has been powdering the claybirds to smith ereens this year is load Devers, who will go into the Grand" which will be held Aug. 19 to 24, recognized as the country's most improved shooter.
 Young Devers has been handling shotgun since he was knee high to a duck" Five years ago, his father let him try his hand at skeet and the 1O-year-old showed an amazing aptitude for the sport from the start. Then, three years ago, at age 12, Joan went in for the original branch of clay target shooting at the trips,
 The kid, who won't be 16 until next February, is a former Grand American Sub-Junior champion and two years ago, paired with his dad, M. O. DeverS, operator of a ma chine shop here, to win the Fa- ther-and-Son title at the Grand"
 But this year, he has really come into his own. His amazing marks manship was first displayed during the current season in the Ohio State trapshooting championship. In that event, shot during windy period in June, he knocked off the state doubles crown with a re- markable 93 out of 100.
 Surprise
 Then he went into the state singles competition-firing at 200 birds from 16 yards. When he tied Joe Heistand, the Hillsboro farmer who is recognized as the owner of one of the greatest shooting eyes of all time, no one on the scene gave the Devers boy a chance in the 25-bird shootoff. But load stepped Up to the firing line and knocked down 25 clays in row. Heistand missed two. At Is, load became king of all he surveyed in Ohio trapshooting circles. And 1t should not be forgotten that Ohio has been a mother of Grand Amer ican champions, just as 1t has been a mother of presidents.
 In addition to his doubles and singles titles, load also wound up with the overall crown for the week with 384 out of 400 in singles,

While the majority Of people concerned, including Ford Prick, president of the National League, and most of the players in both leagues seem to be satisfied with the verdict of the high commits sioner of baseball, former. U. S. Senator Albert Benjamin (Happy) Chandler, in regard to Catcher Mickey Owen, who Is through with organized baseball for the next 5 years, (which means life in his case), 1t seems to be that Chandler, who makes a specially of "ducking important issues, did 1t again by turning Owen over to the commits sioners fall guy Harold (Muddy) Ruel, to relieve him of the neces- sity Of facing Owen, who made a special trip to Cincinnati to see Chandler, not his aide, Ruel, or anyone else. AS matter of fact, Owen has not seen Chandler yet, though 1t seems he is entitled to have personal interview, fl he wants 1t that way; not take his punishment in the form of let ter signed by the secretary treas urer of the high commissioner office.
 In view of the added fact that Chandler will get the praise or take any blame for the t1ve-year ban on Owen, he should have been manly enough to face Owen per- sonally and tell him of" in any manner he chose; but, being poli- tician, he made himself scarce when necessary to suit his con- yenience and his whim.

|Hughson Hot As Red Sox Are Plus 13

Boston, Aug. 15-(UP)-A four hit masterpiece by Cecil (AeD Hughson continued the win-whacky Boston Red Sox on their mad pace to the American League pennant today-131a games in front of the New York Yankees.
 Hughson, hard-luck hurler for the Sox this season, completely over pwoered the As hitters as he scored his fourth win of the year over Philadelphia 3-1. Victim ot the Red Sox 10-hit assault was Dick (NoHit) Fowler, who once again was given no aid by his teammates in his efforts to win his fifth game of the season.
 A f1ukey inside-the-park homer by outf1elder Barney McCosky gave the AS 10 lead in the first inning However, the Sox came back with single runs in the third and fourth innings to take over the lead. Dom DiMaggio assured the victory in the ninth frame when he slammed his sixth homer of the season out of the park.
 Manager Joe Cronin, eager te save his pitching strength for the Yankee series which opens here to- morrow, planned to send Jim Bagby to the mound today in an attempt to sweep the three-game series witt, the As. The move would allow Mickey Harris to open against the Tanks tomorrow and be followed ir the weekend contests by Joe Dob- son, Dave (Boo) Ferriss and Hugh son.
 Won II of 15 Meanwhile the Boston Brave! won their 11th game in Is starts with 5-4 decision over the Phila. delphia Phils in an arc game last night. The victory moved tht Braves 51a games ahead of the Gin. cinnati Reds and only 21s game behind the third place Chicago Cubs.
 The win may prove costly for tht rampaging Braves, as Mort Cooper plagued by injuries for the past twt seasons, was injured in the sixth inning while scoring the winnine run. Cooper suffered severely sprained right elbow and a sprainec left ankle sliding home for the score.
 The Braves took four run leae in the first four innings and hele of desperate Phillies rally in the final two frames to take the deci- sion. The win gave the Braves 2 seasonal recor dof 53 wins against 52 defeats to go above the .5o( mark for the first time since early in the season.
 The Braves close their short home stay today with a twin bill against the Phils. Ed Wright and Big iBl Lee will attempt to keep the Braves in the first for third place.

Brasscos Beat msiLcos 6-3;
 w. Y. Cops Next

Mike KiSSko, Mgr. Joe SamoSka's talented curve baller, finally won himself a ball game last night after suffering pair of one-rrln setbacks to the New York Black Yankees and Cubans of the Negro National League.
 Kissko set down the strong Mer- iden Insilcos on seven hits last night to record a 6-3 triumph before 800 fans at the Municipal Stadium. His mates collected only six hits off Lefty Jack Keenan but the Meriden aggregation committed 10 errors during the contest to make a Wa terbury victory certain.
 Kissko was presented a Al lead after four innings and the remaind- CT of the contest he breezed along in relentless style to record his ini- tial victory. Meriden's initial run in the fourth was uneaned, coming as the result of tWo-base error and pair of infield outs. However singles by Jack Callahan and Joe Binkowski, plus the formers steal of S6COllQ plONuCCd d NSll Cdl llCl marker in the sixth.
 The teams other run which came in the ninth was earned although he could have easily been prevented, had the Brasscos so desired. With one out Tom Connell tripled to left center and scored while Whitey Piu- rek was throwing out Pinch Hitter Joe Garafino at first. Piurek might have caught Connell at the plate after taking Garafino's bounder but since the Brasscos were well out in front, he made sure of the out at first base while the third baseman tailed.
 The Brasscos presented Kissko a one-run lead in the first on an in- field error and Whitey Piurek's hit and run single to right which scored Billy Moore all the way from first base.
 A trio of errors, an infield out and singles by Johnny White and Kissko accounted for three runs in the fourth and the Brasscos were never in danger the remainder of the way. Lud Jasilunas' single, an- other miscue and Jimmy Sheehan's long double completed the scoring in the sixth for the Samoskamen. Mgr. Samoska announced prior to the game that he had succeeded in re-booking the New York Police Dept. for a return game here Sat- urday. The Cops dropped a thrill ling, 7-5 decision here several weeks ago. The score:

Golf Grist

A considerable number of local diyot-diggers, including those who play golf and many others who like to see the game played we'll will Journey to Stratford next sunday, to take in the Is hole playoff be- tween Al Labutis, Chase Country Club professional and Tommy Ar nour, Rockledge pro from West Hartford. It's December and May setup, as Armour, a standout m- ernationally-klown golfer for many years was playing the game when Labutis was very young baby, yet both men tied for the Shore Line Open last Monday with l03 for 27 holes, the odd distance of the event. About $500 in prize money, maybe victory bonds is riding on first and second place; while the playoff should produce some excellent golf shots throughout the day, especially if fine weather prevails.
 Torrington police and members of the country club in Goshen where the Connecticut Open was played earlier this week; are quickly and constantly working hard to find the person or persons who deliberately burned the 18th green at the Torrington club re- gently. Gasoline or some inflam- mable liquid was poured on the beautiful carpet" burning sever al brown patches" through the grass: and causing about $500 damage. club officials figure. The particular reason for the van- dalism, if any, is sought by mem- bers and police, with ex-caddies or young boys of Is to 19 years of age believed by some to have been the offenders. A reward of S10O has been posted for information leading to arrest of the respon- sible party or parties.
 Unprepared for rain, many o. the state open players were caught out on the Torrington course Tues day, many of them coming in witt teeth chattering.
 Further indication that the Country Club of Watertown three day invitation golf play is one of the most popular of its kind in Connecticut is evident from a field of nearly l50, expected to qualify today for six flights of Is players in each flight, which is about all that the course can comfortably accommodate.
