Make one mistake against those

Ask the harried Leo Durocher
or any Of his luckleSs New York
Giants. They'll tell you they
should have won all four week
end games from Eddie Sawyer's
whiz kids. But the boys from
Philadelphia won three. to New
York's one.
AS result the young and eager
Phillles wreSted the National
League lead from the BROOKLYN
Dodgers. Deadlocked before yes
terday's games. the Phils divided
a pair with the Giants while Bos-
ton was beating the Brooks, Al.
The Phils thus took undisputed
possession of first place by half a
game.
AS in the victories Friday and
Saturday, the Phils won yester-
days thinning So opener be-
cause they were quick to take ad-
vantage Of lapse by the opposi-
tion. Primarily because they
played errorless ball. the Giants
won the nightcap. 81. to end a
seven game losing skein.
An Error. Then Doom.
An error by Outfielder Don
Mueller set up the Phils' winning
runs yesterday Al Dark messed
up a double-play ball, Saturday
and the Phils went to score six
unearned runs. Eddie Stanky
fumbled a grounder Friday and
the Phils followed with a double
and fly ball to win a 80 decision,
The score was tied, 2-2. as the
Phils came to bat in yesterdays
llth inning. Dick Sisler walked
to become the first Phillies' base
runner since Andy Hansen re-
placed Clint Hartung in the
seventh. Dick Whitman singled
to right. When Mueller let the
ball get away from him, Sisler
scored the winning run and Whit
man raced to third. The two-base
error undoubtedly unnerved Han
sen. who promptly threw a home
run ball to Mike Goliat for two
clinching runs.
Jim Konstanty, the National
Leagues version of Joe Page. gave
the Giants only one hit in five
scoreless relief innings to register
his third victory.
Dave Koslo became the first New
York hurler to win since Nav 20
when he bested Ken Heintzleman
with a six-hit performance. A

The leaflet carried two cartoons

commenting on his "loss of face

In an old book I have found an
account of "the bulletproof man"
Here it is, in shortened form:
In the latter part of the past
century, there appeared a public
performer who claimed that he had
wonderful secret, and was proof
against the fire of pistols or rifles.
He wore a padded coat which was
not very heavy, and let himself be
the target. Standing with his back
toward a wall, he was not harmed
when bullet after bullet struck his
jacket.
The bulletproof man would not
tell any one his secret, and it was
not discovered until after he re-
ceived a wound which led to his
death. Then his coat was studied,
and was found to contain nothing
but powdered glass.
That tale is hard to believe, be-
cause we should scarcely expect
powdered glass to ward off bullet
with good force behind it. No names
or dates are given in the book about
the bulletproof man.
Whether or not such a man
offered himself as a target during
the past century. the present GEN.

ary, 1t isn't good usage. WHY you
throw the light of your common
sense on the word for us?
A. It is true that most diction-
aries waggle their grizzled heads in
disapproval at such usages as, Con-
tact me when you arrive in town;
I'll contact him at the first oppor-
tunity," etc. Dictionary comments
range from "colloquial," to the
stigma of slang, U. S." And un-
compromising pedants beat their
breasts and fill the air with ulula-
tions of anguish at the bare mention
of contact as a verb.
Nevertheless, ito contact" is SO
firmly established in American idiom
that further to deny it place of
responsibility in our vernacular is
hair-splitting.
