Studs, Stars Even Up In Series
By the Associated Press

Fred Haney's Hollywood Stars are in the finals of the Governors Cup playoffs but they won't know until late tonight whether their oppon- ent is Seattle or Los Angeles.
 Hollywood spanked Portland again last night to 4, eliminating the Beavers, but Los Angeles evened the Series at Seattle at one-all by downing Rogers Hornsby's club, to 2.
 If Seattle wins tonight, Holly wood will fly there for single games Saturday night and Sunday, with the teams returning to Hollywood to finish the best-of-five series. Players of the winning team will get a $10.000 pot, the runner up $5,000 Portland has settled for a mere $2,500, and either Seattle or Los Angeles is going to get just that. Hollywood has assured itself of at least S5,000.
 Warren Hacker, husky right handler who pitched no-hitter against Seattle last week, wasn't quite that effective last night, but he permitted only six blows, one of them a home run by Walt Jud- nich in the ninth. Seattle com mitted three errors and the Angels had only three earned runs. Hacker batted one of these in with double in the ninth.
 George Schmees' twenty seventh homer Of the year proved to be the deciding blow as Hollywood made its hits count behind the effective relief hurling of 38-year-old Gordon Maltzberger.

REFEREE WAS RIGHT

LONDON, Sept. 13-R-Boxing writers for two of the three London afternoon papers declared today referee Ruby Goldstein was right when he gave Ray Robinson tenth round technical knockout victory over Britain's Randy Turpin in the world middleweight championship bout last night.
 Bill McGowran of Evening News wrote from New York "The referee was absolutely justified in stopping the fight in Robinson's favor"
 George Whiting of Evening Stan- dard put it this way:
 Personally and I know this view is not held by many Of the British contingent here = I con- slider Goldstein was actuated by the best motives and is undeserving of any harsh criticism"

Dramatic Comeback

There was only one small doubt to mar as dramatic a comeback as the ring has seen. Turpin, a game ster and very fine fighter, thought he should have been permitted to finish that final, desperate round, weather a few more of Sugar Rays lethal blows, take his rest and come out for the 11th round.
 It is too bad it had to end that way. A clean knockout either way, would have been preferable, or a clean decision. But this observer was of the profound opinion that Goldstein, one of the most com- petent officials now operating, stop- ped the dangerous contest none too soon.

 Robinson weighed 157h pounds, to 159 for Turpin. The bout was scheduled for Is rounds.

How does it happen that the
Russian ballet grew so famous?
A Russian Empress, Anna Iva
novna, started an academy of dane
ing, and this academy has kept ur
it's work ever since.
Thanks to funds granted by later
rulers, including the Empress
Catherine II and Czar Paul I, the
art of the dance rose to high point
in Russia. Dancing teachers were
brought in from other countries
and did what they could to add to
the skill of young Russian dancers
Among those teachers were mas
ters of the ballet from France and
Italy. This form of dance grew
popular with the royal court, and
ballets were STAGED in Moscow and
st. Petersburg (now Leningrad).
In due course the Russian bal
let came to be looked upon as per-
haps the best in the world. De-
spite the fact that it had reached
a high point by the opening of the
present century, there were some
who believed that it should be
made better. One person who felt
that way was Michael Fokine, a
young dancer. He sent long letter
to the directors of the Imperial
Ballet, but little attention was paid
to it.
Fokine later became important in
changing methods used in ballets.
One of his ideas was that, in some

Take Nv Word for 1t

Through all the ages the idea
of parting has filled men with sad
ness and foreboding. Ones last
wish has ever been sort of prayer
for divine protection and guidance.
God be with you till we meet
again." is the thought that is still
expressed in ones last good wishes
The Latin and Deum, Ito God" q
command you to God, is preserved
in the French adieu, the Italian
adio. and the Spanish adios. In
German the wish is worded thus
Gehen Sic Nit Gott, "go thou with
God.'
In English, "goodby" has so long
prevailed that one seldom thinks OF
the word as invoking divine protec-
ton. It has come to be simply a
parting word with as little actual
meaning as its opposite "hello." Yet
goodby originally was sort OF
prayer. It evolved thus: God be
with ye; God be WI ye; God bw' ye;
God bwye; goodbye; good-by.
The word speed" once meant "to
fare well, to prosper" Hence, to

wish one "Godspeed" was equivalent
to saying: May God protect you.
The colloquial 80 long," too, is
without definite meaning, but it is
thought to be a corruption of the
Moslem salutation, Salaam aleikum
may peace (of Cod be upon you.
The phrase is supposed to have
been brought to America by negro
slaves from Arabic-speaking North
Africa.
The word "Mkpah" was once
customarily and is even yet oc-
casionally used as talisman when
engraved on a parting gift of a
ring, locket sor watch. It is from
the Hebrew word mitspeh, watch
tower" It's flgurative meaning is
taken from the 31st chapter Of
Genesis; when Jacob parted from
his wife's father, Laban, they
erected a pillar of stones, a symbol
which Laban called Jegar-sahadu-

heap of witness" and which Jacob
called Called, a Hebrew word of
the game meaning. Then Laban

barefooted, instead of wearing ballet
slippers. Early in his career as a
ballet master he was forbidden to
follow this plan, but the feet of the
dancers were covered with tight
fitting cloth which had toes
painted ON them!
Stars of the Russian Ballet some
times appeared in other countries,
and chiel of these was Anna Paw

prepared by Fokine.
When she was Is, Anna Pavlova
performed in England, and later
she toured various countries, in

married a Frenchman, and settled
in Paris. Almost until the time of
her death, at the age of 46, she kept

Becker, Myrcn Field and your re-

Responsible for one of the matches
scored by the victors was Mr..
Siiodor's delicate handling of the
slam contract shown in today's
hand. Silodor, sitting South, could
see only ten high-card tricks, name
iy, five spades, four diamonds and
a club; ruffing two hearts would
bring the total to L. However, the
difficulty lay in the scarcity of en-
tries to the South hand. After ruff
ing two hearts, South could not
return to his hand except by over
taxing one OF dummy's honors.
This would build up a trump trick
for the enemy. unless one of them
held the douhleton 1919 of trumps,
which was TOO remote to consider.
Silodor, therefore, abandoned any
such plan in favor of setting up
dummy, which could be done if the
clubs broke 3~3. In pursuance of
this plan, he ducked the first club
lead and the suit was continued

diamond with the ace in his own
hand, rather than in the dummy.
If both opponents had followed, he
could draw the remaining trump.
But when West showed out on the
second lead declarer's problem grew
more acute. To win the hand now
he must find both clubs and spades
breaking 3-3. He, therefore, tenn
oorarily abandoned trumps and
cashed three high spades, discard
ing club from his own hand. He
then ruffed club with the seven of
diamonds, establishing the nine of
