Indians Surrender
Start Ex-SandIotter
Against Mats Tonight
Special pispoteh 10 The sior

CLEVELAND, Sept. 14.-Bucky
Harris will rely on Rookie Julio
Moreno, Cuban Highlander. to
haul the Mats out of a five-game
losing streak tonight, and the
best evidence that the Indians
have tossed in the towel on the
1850 pennant race is contained
in Lou Boudreau's pitching selec-
ton of another rookie, Al Aber.
A product of Cleveland's sand
lots, the 23-year-old, left-handed
Aber has spent five years in the
Indians farm system and the
Mats are hoping he doesn't move
into major league surroundings
impressively at their expense.
Moreno, who pitched a seven
inning shutout against the Ath-
letics en- route to a 1914 victory
in his only other start for Wash
ington. has earned Harris respect.
Didn't Walk Any One.
"He did something in that game
I don't believe I've ever seen
a rookie accomplish" declared
Bucky. HE went the distance
without giving up base on balls.
I have to like that"
Although the Mats gave Cleve-
land fit early in the year, they
have dropped seven straight to
the Indians and have been par
ticularly feeble here. where Cleve-
land has won seven of eight
games.

La Mofta I Tackles
Sugar Ray Next
After CIoseCaI|
Lust-Second Knockout
Of Frenchmon Saves
Middleweight Title
By the Assoeiated Press

DETROIT, Sept. 14.-Sugar Ray
Robinson is next for Middleweight
Champion Jake La Motta after his
dramatic 18th round knockout of
Laurent Dauthuille with only IS
seconds to go last night.
But for a savage closing rally
that snatched victory from defeat,
the well-tamed Bronx bull would
be worrying about a return with
iDauthuille-not Robinson.
Trailing on the cards of all three
officials and just about all the
working press, Jake barely saved
his title. 1t was a heart breaking
defeat for the game Frenchman,
who just missed avenging the late
Marcel Cerdan. After it was over,
the 11-to-5 underdog sat in the
dressing room with tears stream
ing from his eyes.
There will be long debates as to
why the Frenchman didn't play 1t
safe in the final round. All he had
to do was stab at La Motta's near
ENCLOSED eye and stay away. He
would have won back for France
the championship that La Motta
wrested from an injured Cerdan
in the same city Is months ago.
Split Over Strategy.
The last-round strategy brought
a wide split in Dauthuille's camp.
Trainer Heinie Blaustein said,
HE was way out front in points
and I think he shouldn't have
taken any chances"
Manager Andre Barraut said,
MY boy is a fighter and he was
going to swap punches with Jake
all the way. II La Motta is a
sportmsan, he'll give Laurent a
return bout very soon."
Over in the other dressing
room, La Motta didn't talk about
a rematch. Still swathed in his
leopard skin robe, squirting
through his battered left eye,
Jake talked Robinson.
Sure I'll fight Robinson" he
said with a grin, "if he doesn't
run out. I'll eliminate him too"
Jake will fight Sugar Ray or
else risk a National Boxing Asso-
citation ban. He already is signed
to fight Robinson in the Chicago
Stadium during the second week
of February.
Fred SADLY, retiring MIA presi-
dent, also has a contract signed
by Robinson to fight La Motta in
Chicago or anyplace else. Each
contract calls for As per cent for
Jake and Is for Sugar Ray.
La Motta said his handlers told
him he was behind in the 18th,
but he told them, You're full
of baloney.n
Il knew had him when he

Lopat tired and Ford hurled the

ing a hit. Bob Lemon, 20-game
winner, opened for Cleveland and
suffered his 18th defeat, his fifth
at the hands of the Yanks.

Two World Series veterans, Hal
Newhouser and Vic Raschi. were
going to the firing line today as
the Tigers and Yankees opened a
three-game series in Detroit with
the lead in the American League
pennant race at stake.
The 29-year-old Newhouser, for
years the bellWether of the De-
troit staff, was Manager Red
Rolfe's choice to protect the
Tigers half-game lead.

vital series. Manager Casey Stengel
of the Yankees nominated Raschi,
his righthanded ace, winner of 19
games.

prospects. Game time is o'clock
Meanwhile, Boston, the third
contender in the tight battle
sought to prosper at the expense
of the seventh-place Browns. But
the Red Sox found things different
as they started the three-game

from the Browns and all of the
eight games played in st. Loui,
this year. Willard Nixon is due
to pitch for the Red Sox tonight
opposing either Don Johnson, an
ex-Yankee, or Dick Starr.
Newhouser, who has won Il
games, has beaten the Yanks only
once and lost three times. His
lone victory, however, was a big
one as it came after the Tigers
had dropped two big games in
Yankee Stadium.
Raschi, who will be cunning for
his sixth straight victory, has
split four decisions with the De-
troiters. The Tigers have treated
the Yanks roughly SO far in Briggs
Stadium, winning six out of eight
there.
The pitching plans for the final
two games of the series probably
will see Tommy Byrne and young
Ed Ford work for the Yanks
against Art Houtteman and Dizzy
Trout in that order.

when l have finished reading to
groups in private homes, someone
will fetch a book and say, DO
you know this?" and then pro-
ceed to read. far more beautifully
than could do it, a passage that
had special meaning for him.
In choosing something to
read aloud, don't feel you have
to limit yourself to one book.
If a volume loses its SAVIOR, drop it.
Be selective. Experiment with sew
eral books at once, taking short
story from one, chapter from
another, poem from third.
One couple l know never
approaches the end of one book
without dipping into the opening
chapters of another "a sort of
Coming Attraction" or promise
of things to come.
Having started out, 60 at your
own pace. You know best how
many evenings week are free for
reading, and what part of each
evening you want to spend.
Take a Break
ONE quick way to lose your en-
thusiasm for reading aloud is to let
it become a nightly chore, like
washing the dinner dishes. There
is no harm done if you skip a few
evenings.
But once you start, stay with it.
Don't let interruptions intrude
and cool you off before your author
has a chance to get his story under
way.
l think you'll find at first that
an hour is the reading period you
can handle most comfortably.
Later, perhaps, you can lengthen
it, but stop before your voice be-
comes hoarse and froggy, and the
heroine of your book begins to
sound like a galloping case of
asthma.
Some couples know take turns,
some simply let the better reader
carry on. However you do it, re-

member that reading aloud takes
some degree of concentration.
When your attention begins to
wander, you've had enough.
This is not to say that everyone
must sit stiff1y alert with hands
folded. Ladies may knit. Gentle
men may overhaul their fishing
tackle. Don't forget that reading
aloud can be more than just a
husband-wife proposition. There
is nothing better than old-fash-
ioned family reading to form a
warm bond of interest between
parents and teen-age children.
Skip the Accent
As FOR the technique of reading
aloud, above all be natural. Many
people try to disguise their home
grown accents and cultivate an
affected, stacy voice. Don't do it.
Your normal speaking voice will
be your best reading voice. And if
you're interested in what you're
reading, you'll read well. Shake
speare didn't write Julius Caesar"
in Latin. There's no reason for you
to try to sound like an Elizabethan
Englishman when you read it.
Evening star., 1950-11-19

More than anything, you will
need practice. Only with practice
will you gain fluency and learn to
keep from stumbling over words
or from running out of breath and
pausing in the wrong spots.
These, however, are rehnements.
They may add pleasure to your
reading, but you are not striving
for an elocution medal and can
enjoy yourself thoroughly without
them.
One of the best ways to practice
| know is to gather group to-
gether and read plays. Collect as
many copies of the plays as you
can and let each person take sew
eral parts. Watching your cues
and answering the other players,
measure for measure, is a grand
way to lose self-consciousness and
build a small fire of excitement in
your delivery.
Slow Going
Old hands at this frequently find
whole passages sticking in their
memories. In my own case, I'm
told that once read" a con-
siderable section from Mr.. Dick
ems while holding my book upside
down.
Finally, do not end your eve
ming with the closing of your
book. You and your listener have
shared the reading; now share the
ideas it has inspired. Two young
people once told me that they
had been reading "War and Peace"
for a year and half.
Its not that we're slow read
ers." they explained. Its just
that every few pages seem tosug-
gest something fresh and new to
us, and then we're off. talking,
thinking, planning. We're not sure
that we'll ever finish the book, but
we've learned a great deal about
ourselves and our life together"
This, to me, is how to enjoy
reading aloud. The End
