The Kanins will be the first fam

Anderson and Behrman.
1t is impossible to think of more
suitable additions to the Play
wrights' list than Mr.. and Mrs.
Kanin. The former as author of
Born Yesterday" greatest of the
seasons comedy hits, is philosophic
brother to the senior members of
the firm, not to mention being glar-
ingly gifted as a playwright with
something to say.
The ability to say it with comedy
overtones is trick that Bernard
Shaw does better, but Shaw has had
more experience. With those extra
years to go, there is no telling where
Kanin will end up. Even short of
Shaw, which is most likely, it will
be good.
Miss Gordon, too, is the perfect

Grant, KowoIski In Golf FinoIs

New Haven, June 27. CUP)- Bobby Grant, veteran Wethersfield shotmaker, today was pitted against unheralded Ed Kowalslki. young Pequabuck ace, in the final 36- hole round of the 44th annual Con- necticut State Amateur Golf cham pionship at the New Haven Coun- try Club.
 The 36-year-old Grant was favor- ed to win his first state title since 1882. Playing superb golf, he blazed his way into the finals by busting George Stritch, Wheeler Park, 3 and 3, and edging Alpheus Winter, Jr, Brooklawn, one the 18th hole. Winter eliminated Jack Strew, East Mountain. by 2 up in a quarter final match.
 Meanwhile, Kowalski scored two upsets. He edged Julius Boros, Wheeler Park, 1 up, and trounced former State Champion Knobby Walsh, Bridgeport. 5 and 1. The 25-year- old youth has competed in only one previous state champion ship, but despite his inexperiencs plays a cool, deliberate game.

 B. B. 'Contr0cts'
sy JOHN A. cIUHrY

During recent years, the past two in particular. we have been hearing more than . little of the one-sided baseball ''contracts" that players sign-OR ELSEI Personally, I have never seen one, but there is some rather keen indication that a Meriden boy. Al Nieznec, will be the instrument through which a 1947 player will have half chance for his LIBERTY in the future, which will make his baseball LIFE little more bearable so that PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS have some meaning for him other than an empty, meaningless phrase.
 Niemec, who is one of the incest, most popular and able infielders to come out of Connecticut in many year, Che has played in Waterbury many times), was earning $720 a month from the Seattle club of the Pacific Coast league. When the war broke out, Niemec became a U. s. Navy man; served his time and was honorably discharged with the rank of lieutenant. Last spring he report

the selling price. He can renew his
 contract at the same salary, only
 if the club-owner is willing to pay
 it. After the season, he cannot
 play exhibition baseball, unless
 the club says he may do so.
 The Seattle clubs only explana- ton as to why it had dropped Me- mec (and later Manager Bill Skiff) is that the Meriden boy, at 36, was slowing down." Judge Blacks fur ther comment in his decision, rela- tive to Niemec is classic of juris- prudence, in the part of the decision which reads: "It seems to me there is no evidence in this case except that Niemec is older than he was before the war. I cannot escape the view that if the argument of the respondent (Seattle club is analyz- ed completely, it means just this; that if a baseball player be older when he comes back from the sery- ice than when he entered 1t, the employer is given the right, in his discretion, to REPEAL THE ACT OF CONGRESS"
 Incidentally, Baseball Commis- sioner Happy Chandler has had his lawyers going over big league base ball contracts and may shortly have something IMPORTANT to say; that is, if he has had his hands un- tied by Larry MacPhail and others, so that he can guarantee a baseball player fair deal in new type of contract, one that is not as one-sided as a Communist argument; and favors labor rather than capital, for a change; for doesn't the Bible say: "the lahorer is WORTHY OF HIS HIRE2".

NeWhouser Routs Red Sox, 16-2
BX JOSEPH NOLAN United Press Shorts Writer


 Boston, June T-(UP)-What the Detroit Tigers did to the Boston Red Sox in the first game of a double header shouldn't have been done to the Athletics, much less to team whose players already are spending their world series checks.
 Behind Hal Newhouser's nine-hit hurling, the Tigers buried the Sox 16 to 2 in their most f1umiliating setback of the season. The SoX staged 8 comeback in the second game, winning g to 3 for Dave Fer riss' 11th victory of the season.
 Eleven Tigers went to bat in the first inning of the opener, and seven of them crossed the plate. Twelve took their swings in the second frame, and eight scored. That was enough for the Tigers. It was enough for manager Joe Cronin, too, and the Red Sox promptly yanked his varSity and sent in his shock troopers"
 The varsity returned in the night cap and landed on Virgil (Fire) Trucks and two successors for 12 hits, including four by Bobby Doerr and three by Ted Williams. Williams cluhbed his 18th home run in the first game and his 18th in the after piece to keep pace with Hank Greenberg of Detroit who also hit two.
 Ferriss didn't start off much bet- ter than Joe Dobson had in She first game. The Tigers scored in the first. second and third innings, but from then on Delta Dave" set them down in apple-pie order. Altogether, he scattered nine hits and had plenty of speed when he needed it most.

With Mulligan, George Junior that is, at bat in the 11th inning rather than the mighty Casey of Mudville fame, a home run good for two markers defeated "Lippy'' McGrath and his hired hands, walters, pearl divers and potato skinners last night at Quassapaug. The final score of 2-1 after II in- nings of play was incidental to the fact that Mulligan the pitcher, won the softhaH game with a home run for Mulligan's Restaurant.

This was the ninth straight for the victors with out setback, as they clinched the first round honors.

Mill Plain sent 8 men to bat in the first frame to score 16 runs in beating the Grace Methodist. Ned Wilson and Johnny White garnered homers for the winners.
