The men who get ahead between
now and 1852 will be those who know
how to adapt themselves to changing
conditions.
Some Of the changes during the
next four years will come from Wash
ington, some from industry, and
some from changing conditions
abroad. 1t will be necessary for you
to keep in close touch with these
changes and, If possible, to have ad-
vance warnings of important new
developments.
New Ways 20 Make Money
For example, new inventions, new
industries, and new ways OF doing
business will create new opportuni-
ties for men who want to increase
their incomes. One way to find out
about these things is toread Business
Bulletin, which appears every Thurs
day in The Wall Street Journal.
You should also keep informed on
international conditions and on
trends in the British Empire (which
often foreshadow trends in the
United States). A good way to do
this is to read London Cable, which
appears every Monday in The Wall
Street Journal.
News from Washington
The news coming from Washing
ton will have an important bearing
on your future. If you want to know
what is going on behind the scenes in
Government, you should read Wash
ington Wire, which appears every
Friday in The Wall Street Journal.

 WIN GAMES
By JOE REICHLER

The unpredictable Brooklyn bod gers were riding high today on the wings of a six-game winning streak
 The latest Brooklyn victory march not only enhanced the Dodgers chances to retain their National League championship, but may have halted, for the time being at least rumors that Leo Durocher is on the way out as manager. It Is no secret that Durocher must make good showing this year or quit.
 Last nights 4-3 victory in II inn ings over the Boston Braves at Eb- bets Field left them in fifth place only game behind the first divi- sion New York Giants.
 The Cleveland Indians maintained their slim l0-percentage point bulge on the Philadelphia Athletics ill the American League race by trounc- ing the Chicago White Sox. 1O-2. The As also won their game, edging out the Yankees at New York with Bot Teller hurling his ninth victory fol the Tribe.
 Hank Majeski, a Yankee castoff was the big gun for the As. Int hard-hitting third baseman. wallop- ed home run and triple to drive in three runs against his former mates.
 Trailing 2-6. the Washington Sena. tors suddenly came to life with g five-run rally in the top of the ninth to nip the Red Sox at Bos- ton, 7-6
 Hal Newhouser became the first Detroit pitcher to twirl a shutou, this season when he blanked the St Louis Browns, 60, for his 18th vic. tory.
 Pittsburgh moved past St. Loui. into second place in the Nationa League by defeating the Cardinals 2-1.
 Larry Jansen limited the Phila delpnia Phillies to two hits in pitch ing the New York Giants to a 10 triumph. He had no-hitter until Richie Ashburn scratched an in- field hit in the seventh.
 Hopping off to 8 so lead in the first inning, the reds went an to gain an easy 10-3 victory over the Cubs in Chicago.

CAPITOL THEATRE E NOW SHOWING
 THE LONG NIGHT

An unusual romantic triangle which involves a girl with forth right young steelworker and an older man of satanic charm is at the Capitol Theatre. The feature is 'The Long Night
 Co-starring Henry Fonda, Barba- ra Bel Geddes, Vincent Price and Ann Dvorak, this RKO Radio re- lease is based upon a highly emo- Itional story of romance conflict, murder and tumult.
 The picture introduces to the screen the noted stage star, Barbara Bel Geddes, who won the Broadway critics plaudits for her performance in the hit play Deep Are the Roots. v
 Henry Fonda's role in "The Long Night" is somewhat different from some of his most recent roles, in that his portrayal is tortured and deeply romantic performance.
 Robert and Raymond Hakim pro- duced 'The Long Night" The film employs a cast of more than one thousand players for spectacular scenes of police besieging tene- ment in which the hero defies ar rest for killing that he believes is morally justified in defense of his sweetheart
 Tomorrow night, for the week end, there will be double bill, The Blind Spot" and Genius at Work, two thrillers.

BALL FANS GET RARE DISPLAY
 OF Sp0RTSMAN5HIp
Sitka Catcher Plays Two Hot Games with One
 Eye Closed

i It has often been repeated that to be a master in any field, one |, must first have your heart in that field and ability develops ! from there. Juneauites had an opportunity to witness both in un-
 excelled form during the Sitka- All Star baseball games held here dur
 ing the 4th of July holidays. When just few innings in the
 first game Sunday, McClain, the Sitka third baseman was at the plate and waiting for the pitch
 Swinging hard at an inside pitch the ball deflected from the bat
 handle and caught McClain hard
 just below the eye.
 A deep gash was inflicted below
 his lett eye when his glasses broke the side of his face was badly swollen, and the eye was com pletely closed from the force of the |, ball. Needless to say, McClain was through for the day. Play CTS and spectators were greatly re-
 lieved to learn that the broken
 glass had not penetrated his eye
 The following day. when Sitka
 and the All-Stars took the field
 for doubleheader and the last
 of the series, spectators doubted their eyes when spotting what ap- peared to be McClain manning the third sack for Sitka. Surprising enough it was McClain. He had taken the field to play two fast games with the sun beating down all the way. Any doubt that Me- Clain was incapable of working third base due to his injured eye was soon removed During the first game he was credited with four clean putouts and two assists.
 What about his batting ;. that was an easy one to solve. True, he couldn't bat right-handed due to his completely closed left eye, so he did the next best thing :. he took the plate as left-handed batter. And despite the handicap, he did very we'll when he stepped up the first time and swatted out the days only two-base hit, deep into left field,
 Fans were completely satisfied that McClain was permitting gashed, swollen and tightly closed eye to hinder his play but little, and then came the crowning blow. When the two teams came out for the second game, spectators were again rocked on their heels when what appeared to be McClain step- ped behind the plate with mask on and mitt in hand. Again it was he. With glasses on and one eye closed he was set to catch the fast-ball pitching of Robison. Did he catch the game? He caught the full seven innings and without an error
 If ever an example of loving the game was seen, it was in Juneau during the Fourth of July series.

Lefty O'Doul, it seems certain can't take much more of this sort of thing.
 The San Francisco skipper, whose Coast League-l leading Seals have fought off one challenge after an- other, had to view the dismal sight of his pitcher, Will Werle, walk ing home Oakland's winning tally with one out in the last of the l0el inning last night.
 The 3-2 victory evened the ser ies at a game apiece and again moved the Oaks into a virtual first place tie.
 Werle, southpaw stylist, had a six hit shutout going into the ninth. Then four hits-with Ernie Lombardi's double and Ray Ram- ick's single the key blows-tied the score at 2-all.
 Los Angeles Red Lynn became the first PCL pitcher to win l2 games by defeating Hollywood, 13-5.
 The Angels bobbed back into a third place tie with San Diego. The Padres big bats were silenced by Portland righthander Jim Tote. 80.

Mr.. Isadore Moscovitz
Southern Jewish Weekly
Jacksonville, Florida
Dear Il:
AS you know B'nai Birth is in
creasing it's activity daily in
line with it's policy of serving our
people completely and at all times.
Our program at the present time
encompasses B'nai Birth youth
work (there are 35 chapters in the
State of Florida; maintenance of
Hillel Foundations (at the present
time we have four on university
campuses in the State); Anti
defamation League work with full
time offices in Miami; National
program of aid to Israel; district
program of assisting the Warm
Springs Foundation, etc. With
the new school year, we find that
our Hillel Foundations are being
taxed to the utmost. Thousands
of new Jewish students have ell
rolled. For example, the Univer-
sity of Miami alone will have ap-
proximately 5000 Jewish students
on the campus.
Because of the great response
bility in undertaking these various
obligations, it is necessary that
each Lodge in the state not only
maintain its present membership
but go all out in securing new
members. We need the utmost
support physically and financially.
Since the work we are doing is
for the benefit of every Jewish
person, we are asking the cooper
alton of the Jewish people in join
ing our ranks Immediately. I have
called a State Executive Commit
tee meeting for October 16-17th
