1T is probable that a very direct
and vigorous attack upon static
conditions or tagging interest may
be speeded up to high degree and
have rich and far-reaching results,
although not without a modicum of
danger. A too audacious effort, or
pushing power beyond reasonable
bounds could beget a recklessness
and daring which could spell de-
feat. Exercise caution also in physi-
cal activities.

Neighbor's Child Who Spends
All His Time in Your House

be one youngster who tries the souls
OF all the mothers there. Often he
is ostracized from most homes,
after which he may grow worse and
worse and become a pest to the par
ents and menace to their children.
If you can win this child to conform
to your home rules you might be
able to make him over, especially
if you can induce q few other
mothers to cooperate with you. But
what time and energy and patience
the victory may cost you'll
Sympathy for Mother
While l greatly admire these gen.
erous, victorious mothers, l have q
deal Of sympathy with any mother
who loses heart at trying to civilize
many neighbor children. Sometimes
the only way out is to move, and
this often is impossible.
In the usual discussion Of neigh
Dor children in a mothers club or
PTA the emphasis is on protecting
yourself and your children from the
children living near, and not on
guiding your own child so well that
he will not be a nuisance to other
parents and their children.
This might be good subject for
discussion in adult classes. espe-
cially couples clubs, in church
schools. II l were a preacher l
would not only preach occasionally
on being my brothers keeper but
also on being a less selfish brother.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-Marv Rick
ert's chances to play in the World
Series were wrapped in red tape to-
day.
The Boston Braves bought Rick
ert, an outfielder, from Milwaukee
of the American Association last
night. They told him to get here as
soon as possible to replace the in
jured JEFF Heath.
1--WE own him." said Manager Billy
Southworth. Whether we'll be
able to use him in the series de-
pends on the American League
champion and Commissioner CA. b.
Chandler"
The procedure now is for the
Braves to get the American League
winner to agree to let Rickert re-
place Heath.
This is a little complicated since
three clubs-Cleveland, New York
and Boston-still have chance to
capture the American League flag.
Chandler has said he won't act
until the A. L. pennant chase final
ly unravels.
/ Rickert caught a plane in Seattle
last night and will join his new club
sometime today. IT may. just be
going for a plane ride" he said.
A lefthanded power hitter, Rick
ert drove in lit runs and hit q
more home runs for Milwaukee this
season. He had an average of 1886.
In 1946 and 1947 he played with the
Chicago Cubs. He went to Seattle
after the American Association sea-
son ended.
Heath broke his leg in a slide in
Ia game at Brooklyn Wednesday.
He is hospitalized here, but expects
to return to Boston about Sunday.

Newhouser and Trout
Reported in Scrap
BY the Assoeioted Press

DETROIT. Oct. LIN a page one
story, the Detroit News today gave
a blow -by-blow account of a report
ed fist fight between Detroit Tiger
Pitchers Hal NeWhouser and Paul
Dizzy Trout.
The News said the fight occurred
in the Tiger dugout at Briggs Sta
dium Thursday during game with
the st. Louis Browns.
It started, according to the news
paper, when Trout resented a re-
mark made by NeWhouser.
Tiger Manager Steve O'Neill. In
Cleveland for a game today with
tie Cleveland Indians, denied the
report.
There was nothing to 1t at ALL"
he said There were no punches
swung at anybody. Trout has been
sick for the last few days and wasn't
in uniform yesterday.
HE came down to the dugout," :"
|ONeill continued, land was kidding
Newhouser. When he plnched Hal
in kidding manner, Newhouser
brushed him off,
According to the News, the
punching began when Newhouser
remarked that Trout was using a
cold as an easy excuse for staying
out of uniform"
Trout repeatedly replied by swing
ing at the ace Tiger lefthander.
They were separated by O'Neill
the News said.
Denying that the exchange was
more than good-natured rough
housing, O'Neill said, they've been
kidding each other that way all
season, and I don't see any reason
to get excited about it this time"
Newhouser and Trout were not
available for comment.

Detroit Blocked Wuy

Lemon, Trucks Hurl
G. Ill D~l>-
By RoIph Roden
Assoeioted Press Sports Writer

The Detroit Tigers once again
stand in the way of Cleveland's bid
for its first American League PEN
nance since 1920.
The Indians can assure themselves
of a tie at least by beating the Ben
gals today. It's the first game Of
Cleveland's three-game series with
Detroit.
The front-running Tribe leads
Boston and New York by a game
and half. Two Cleveland triumphs
or one victory plus one defeat for
the Yankees and Red Sox will en-
able the Indians to clinch the pen
nant
The only way the Yanks or Red
Sox can beat the Indians out is for
one OF them to win the two remain
ing games while the Indians lose all
of their three. Idle today, the two
second-place clubs clash in Boston
tomorrow in the opener of a two
games cut throat series.
In odrer for the race to end in a
three-way tie Boston and New York
would have to divide their two
games while Cleveland drops all Of
its three.
Eight years ago the Tigers not
only blocked a Cleveland flag drive,
but went on to grab the pennant
themselves.
This time the Tribe expects to re-
verse the tables. For the opener to-
day, Bob Lemon (20-13) will face
the Tigers with Virgil Trucks Q3-
l3 on the hill for the Bengals.
Tribe Manager Lou Boudreau plans
to follow up with Gene Bearden and
Bob Feller. Tiger Manager Steve
O'Neill will counter with Fred
Hutchinson and Hal Newhouser.
The Yanks beat the Philadelphia
Athletics, 81. and the Red Sox
knocked off the Washington Mats.
7-3, yesterday to keep their faint
flag hopes alive. The Indians had
the day off.

Leg Infected, Gi|mer
Sent 10 Bed; Mont
Ready for Relief
By Lewis F. Atchison

With Harry Gilmer, rookie quar-
terback, in the hospital for treat
ment of an infected leg, Redskin
Coach Turk Edwards will rely on
Tommy Mont to back up Sammy
Baugh If needed in the New York
Giant game Sunday at Griffith
Stadium.
Gilmer was sent to Georgetown
Hospital yesterday by DR.. Robert E.
Moran. 1t was deemed advisable to
keep him in bed and off his leg.
Final decision whether he'll be able
to face the Giants was to be made
late today, but the odds were
against it.
Il hope We don't have to use
Tommy because hes to important
on defense and it's too much to ask
him to play on both sides of the
fence" said Edwards, but we'll have
to do it if anything happens to
Baugh."
Mont, Of course, is as anxious as
kid at Christmas to play on Of
Tense and when it comes to calling
play patterns he ranks with the
best of them. But the onetime
Maryland star also is guilty of being
la good defensive man and with
Charley Conerly and Paul Governali
pitching for the Giants the Skins
will need him.
Edwards and his staff are as much
concerned with the Giants offense
as their own, for although Steve
Owens attack is supposed to be 100
per cent better than last year he
still hasn't completely shown what
his men can do on the ground.

Favored,
But HoyasLook
ToKeen Tuss|e
Both Lines Massive,
With B. C.. BuckfieId
Loaded With Talent

Georgetown moves its best foot
ball rivalry into Griffith Stadium
tonight to open the Capitals COL
lege season, playing Boston College
in a game starting at $3.50 before
crowd that may go as high as
10000. This will be the 18th game
in the B. C.-G. U. series that has
produced many hot contests, but
never before have the teams tangled
in Washington.
The visiting Eagles are favored
by as much as two touchdownS,
largely because of their play while
routing Wake Forest, 26-9, in their
opener last week while the Hoyas
were losing to Holy Cross, 1877.
Georgetown is capable of putting
up tight scrap, however, especially
if Babe Baranowski comes up with
one of his frequent hot exhibitions
of running and passing and if Billy
Conn and Dick Barba, two flashy
sophomore backs, show in a big
college game the style of play that
made them famous in their prep
school competition.
Both teams have massive lines
that average 215 pounds or better
but both also have built their at
tack around two little scatbacks
Five-foot-flve, 155-pound Joe Dimi-
nick is the Eagle backfeld ace, while
the 5-foot-5, 170-pound Baranowski
sparks the Hoyas.
Eagles Have Keen Backs.
Neither is a one-man team, how
ever. Ed Butch Songin and Ed
Clasby, who are used interchange
ably at quarterback and fullback,
are two other stars in the Eagles
backfeld. Each Is a noted passer
and runner. Songin tossed for two
touchdowns against Wake Forest
last week.
Coach Denny Myers Eagles have
a wide-open attack from the T for
nation and with both Clasby and
Songin operating at top form they're
throwing more passes than usual.
Myers, in fact, says that these two
give him a better passing combina-
ton than when he had Ed Doherty
and Mickey Connolly playing on his
1912 Orange Bowl team.
The Eagles arrived last night to
put up at the Mayf1ower Hotel and
Coach Myers was first in line with
high praise for the GEORGETOWN team
he saw playing Holy Cross last week.
Il thought had a good, big line
until I saw that Georgetown team"
he said. 1T probably will outweigh
us with Kennedy out" Ed Ken
nedy, the Eagles 6-foot-6 260- pound
center will be sidelined with an
injury received against Wake Forest.
Hoyas Impress b. C. Coach.
Myers also said he was very I'M
pressed by Baranowski's all-around
play and he particularly liked
Conn's running style.
Among B. C.'s line stars Is Tackle
Ernie Stautner. prominently men
toned as an All-America prospect.
With Chet Lipka operating at the
other tackle, Coach Myers has a
pair of very good starters. The
Eagles also are we'll loaded with
outstanding ends, with Art Spinney
and Stan Goode listed as starters.
Georgetown students whooped II
up for the game with a big per
rally on the Hilltop last night
They had a bonfire and snake dance
and torchlight parade around the
campus. They finally spilled their
celebration over into the downtown
area where six participants in an
auto parade down F street were
charged at the third precinct with
making unnecessary noise and for
feited IS collateral each.

Wynn Wants to Leave Mats:
Defeat by Red Sox His 18th

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-The
Mats Early Wynn won't be re-
luctant to shift to another team
next season after a wretched
year with Washington. Before
this season started" Wynn said
yesterday before being blasted for
his 10Th defeat at Boston, II
would have been content to spend
my entire career with Washing
ton. Now I'm ready to move"
Wynn didn't amplify his re-
marks except to say that Il guess
losing year has changed my
mind. I wish now that I had
been traded to New York last
winter when there was so much
talk about it. Now I hear re-
ports that Ill be with Boston
next year."
The stocky right-handed pitch
er, together with First Baseman
Mickey Vernon and Pitcher Wall

available to the highest bidder at
the major league meeting this
winter. The Mats will demand
promising youngsters in sex-
change. A deal which was ar
ranged but failed to materialize
last winter would have sent
Wynn to the Yankees for Out
fielder Hank Bauer, two pitchers
and a catcher, but Wynn's eight
victories and 10 losses have de-
creased his value.
