the Giants are comforted by the
fact they are better off now than
they were year ago today.
Ga Back a Year Ago.
Last year at this time the Giants
trailed the Dodgers by 612 games.
Today, following yesterdays split
of their day-night le-header,
New York was only five lengths
in back of Brooklyn.
The Giants desperate bid to
close the gap appeared to have
been stopped when the Dodgers
crushed them, 1912, in the after
noon game, but Leo Durocher's
crew bounced back to win the
night one, 30, and get back In
the race.
A two-run, sixth-inning homer
by Alvin Dark and a ninth inning,
two-out double by Don Mueller
won for the Giants after Joe
Blacks brilliant relief pitching and
Duke Snider's power hitting had
given Brooklyn an easy flrst-game
triumph.
Despite the second-game loss,
Manager Charlie Dresser was con-
vinced his Dodgers would win the
pennant.
IF we'd have won this one,'
he said, they wouldn't have q
chance. But they've still got to
go like hell. We won't blow it this
year. I'm satisfied. I figured II
we could win two of the flve games
we're in-and we did"
Durocher Still Optimistic.
Durocher thought differently.

"All I know is we were five
games back with nine to 60 last
year." he said. THAT I know.

PRINCETON, N. j., Sept. g.
Princeton's football team has re-
ceived a heavy blow with the news
that Bob Richards, star defensive
halfback, will be lost for the sea-

Richards. who fractured a rib

The loss of Richards just adds

Indians Big Three Ready to Start Nearly All Remaining Games
Wynn VS.. Shontz Tonight;
Giants Closer Than in ST
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Sept. g. The
close American League pennant
race is forcing AL Lopez. Cleveland
manager, away from the idea that
pitchers should get three days of
rest between starts.
There is q strong chance that
the Eastern clubs, who play eight
games here in nine days, beginning
tonight, may see one Of the In
dianS' Big Three-Mike Garcia,
Early Wynn and Bob Lemon-as
a starting pitcher in each Of these
eight games.
Before the Fasteners leave, Lo-
pez hopes to have made up the
two games by which his club trails
the New York Yankees.
Wynn pitches tonight against
the Philadelphia Athletics and
Lemon and Garcia will follow him,
Lopez said. adding:
I'm thinking of coming back
with Wynn Friday against Bos-
toni. Otherwise it will be Steve
Gromek. Well see what happens.
If Wynn pitches Friday, Garcia
and Lemon also will come back
after only two days rest"
Pitchers Favor Idea.
The Big Three all favor the idea
Of more work and have been push
ing Lopez to start them oftener
than the customary every fourth
game. They'd like several thou
sand dollars of World Series cash,
and they know the teams chances
of losing increase when Gromek
or Bob Feller-the leagues big
gest winner last year-get the
starting assignment.
Also, each Of the three is with
in a game or two Of the 20-victory
circle. and with five starts apiece
in the remaining 16 games scarcely
could miss.
Garcia. one Of the first to urge
Lopez to use him oftener, pitched
shutouts his last two starts
Thursday and Sunday. He used
only about 100 pitches in blanking
the Browns Sunday - hardly
enough to exhaust a husky 200
FOUNDER.
Past Records Cited.
With three fine hurlers not only
willing but strong and capable
enough to divide the load, Lopez
well might use them almost exclu-
sively for the remaining Is games.
After all. old Cy Young lasted %
seasons and won 511. and If he
got three days rest it usually was
because Of rain.
In the last Is games, the Big
Three handled 11-all but one of
them from start to finish. They
won nine and lost two.
Feller failed to finish his last
three starts, although only one
was charged to him as a loss. Lou
Brissie won one relieving Feller,
and Bob Chakales lost one after
taking over.
After Gromek's victory Sunday
against st. Louis, Lopez said
Steve, rather than Feller, would
get first call If he makes his
selection outside the big three.
But, with no more double e-headers
and a Sprinkling of open dates,
Gromek is unlikely to start again,
If he's passed up Friday.
Wynn Seeks Goth.
Wynn will be seeking his fourth
victory in a row tonight and his
Goth against IL losses. Opposing
him will be Bobby Shantz, trying
to avert his third defeat since his
22d victory.
| Loser of six. Shantz is the only
American League hurler who has
passed the 20-victory mark. He
and Wynn have met twice this
season. The little southpaw beat
Wynn, 81, in their first meeting,
but Wynn broke Shantz' 11-game
winning string in their second
encounter. beating him here, 81.
Shantz has a 81 record against
Cleveland, and Wynn is 1-3
against the AS.

Aids to Better Digestion

comes apparent. If the food is not
properly prepared that is, not
properly digested-before it is
absorbed into the blood, the body
cells cannot make full use OF 1t.
Perfect digestion means perfect
preparation of the food inside
the body for use by the body. II
anything seriously interferes
with the normal digestive activ-
ity, we then have a condition
known as indigestion.
Since good digestion has so
much to do with good health,
what can we as individuals do to
promote it? Of course there are
some violent digestive disturb
ances due to diseased organs and
such cases need the services of a
doctor. But we can all help our
selves to improved digestion by
following these suggestions:
1. Food should be cheWed thro-
ughly before tits swallowed. The
habit of eating hurriedly, of
gulping halfchewed food, certain
ly does not promote good diges-
ton.
2. For best digestion food
should be tasty. 1t has been prov
ed scientifically that tasty foods
are conducive to good digestion.
3. Food should be eaten in mod
crate amount. A person should
never feel stuffed" at the end
of meal.
4. 1t is better to eat few foods,
rather than a large variety, at a
meal.
S. 1t is an aid to digestion, not
to do heavy physical work i'm
mediately after a meal.
6. The mind should be free of
unpleasant thoughts during a
meal. Heated arguments and
emotional upsets have caused
many a case of indigestion. Plea
SAINT thoughts and pleasant con-
versation are friends of good d.
gestion.
Z. Restoration of the mechani.
cal integrity of the body to as
sure normal nerve function is
must" to achieve better diges-
ton.
Follow the above suggestions
and note gradual improvement
in your own health picture.

Esar's Comic Dictionary de-
fines the abdomen as "a bowl
shaped cavity that contains the
organs of indigestion" 1t is said
that all humor contains an ele-
ment of fact. If this is true, it
would seem that the fact element
in the above-quoted definition is
that some people are more famll-
lar with indigestion than with
normal digestion.
Let us briefly consider what di-
gestion is and what part it plays
| in the ability of the body to make
full use of the food we eat. We
shall then better understand the
Importance of good digestion and
the Importance of doing our best
to promote it by eating in a wise
manner.
After food is taken into the
body it undergoes several chang
es before it is completely used
up. First, it is mixed with secre-
lions of the mouth, stomach, and
small intestione and is reduced
to a semi-liquid state. This is
merely preparation of the food
for use by the body. And this
preparatory step is called diges-
ton.
Then comes a second step in
which the liquid food filters thro-
ugh the lining of the stomach
and intestine into the blood
stream, to be distributed to the
millions of cells in all parts OF
the body. This second step is call
ed absorption.
Now the body cells pick up and
make use of the food material
which has been brought to them
by the blood stream. This third
step is called assimilation. Thus
the body derives no nutrition
from the food we eat until this
third stage is reached.
In view of this explanation the
importance of that first prepara-
tory step, known as digestion, be-
