Dear sirs,
You asked in Mondays paper
about the origin of the term Char
ley horse" The man who coined
the expression charley horse" was
Joe Quest, an infielder with Chi
cago in the early 1895.
The man who had the first char
ley horse that was called charley
horse was an outfielderN named
Gore, playing with the same team.
One day in the summer of 1882
the Chicago team had an open day,
and several got up a party to at
tend the races. On the way to the
track a couple of the boys started
talking about hot tip they had on
horse named Charley. Everyone
on the team was interested except
the aforementioned infielder Joe
Quest. When the ballplayers got up
a pot to bet on the horse named
Charley, Joe Quest was the only
one who refused to contribute.
Consequently he was subjected to
a lot of ribbing by his team mates
and he, in turn, snorted at them
and called them suckers.
Hugh Nichol, an outfielder, later
told the story of the race. He said
that Charley took the lead right
from the start and the players who
had bet on the nag began to whack
Joe and yell, Look at him go! Too
bad you're SO dumb Joew The
horse was still in front when he
reached the stretch but then he be-
gan to stumble a bit and finally he
pulled up lame i'm his right hind
leg. He finished last.
Now to be sure it was time for
Joe Quest to crow. What do you
think of your old Charley horse
now" he beloved, and all the
way back to town he kept up that
cry.
The following day the team met
New York on the old Chicago lake
front grounds. Chicago was leading
by one run in the fifth inning, and
Joe Quest was coaching third base.

local shops, and striking employees
were looking for temporary work
in local industries and businesses.
There was no indication of either
side giving in to the other as the
strike moved into the fourth week.
Merchants report an appeal from
the union members for donations
for the pickets on duty, donations
mostly in the form of food, cigar
cites and coffee.

Strike ldIeness
Of | Million Days
In Third Quarter

Strike idleness in Ohio was re-
ported as being 100000 man
days during the third quarter,
1855, according to Margaret A.
Mahoney, Ohio Industrial Rela-
tons Director. The report stated
that the idleness amounted to 161
minutes per each worker, with 80
of these minutes coming in Sep
tember.
Akron was high with $4,000
man-days lost, Cleveland had S5,-
600. Youngstown, $4,000, Columbus
had $4,000. Cincinnati was low
with only $500 man-days lost.
Strike idleness in the present
quarter was being felt in the Lon
don area as Westinghouse contin-
ued to keep its doors closed. Un-
ion food orders were coming into

kiIe Denounces
Clio Proposal

Another member of the Ohio
Legislature, State Representative
Elton Kile of Kileville, Ohio, has
denounced the CIO initiated pro-
posed law to increase unemploy-
ment benefits in Ohio as "self-in-
terest piece of legislation for the
benefit of a few at the expense of
ALL"
The CIO proposal will appear on
the November Sth ballot as Issue
No. 4.
A farmer and grain elevator op-
orator, Mr.. Kile voiced his most
serious objection to the CLOS at
tempt to override the Ohio Legis-
lature which reviewed the CIO
proposal during the last legislative

session and rejected it in favor of
a more moderate 1919 benefit in
crease.
Mr.. Kile stated: THE questions
which voters have to decide in this
proposed legislation is whether
legislation should be enacted by
representatives of all people where
all interests are able to present
their views, or whether legislation
drawn by one segment of the pop
ulation without reference to the in
terests of other people shall be
adopted by popular vote"
Mr.. Kile also focused attention
on the danger to which the CLIO
proposal would subject the Ohio
Unemployment mpensa ton
Fund.

Gore led off the inning and got a
single. On the first pitch to the
next batter Gore broke for. second.
Halfway down the line his foot hit
a soft spot on the basepath and
he came up lame. He was. thrown
out at second and as he linped off
the field, Joe Quest began teasing
him in playful manner. Just an
old charley horse" yelled Joe.
Just an old charley horse!"
Gore was out of the lineup with
his bad leg for several days and
when anyone asked him what hap
pened he rarely got a chance to
discuss it. because his team mates
would sing out, Just a charley
horse!"
Thereafter when a member of
the team hurt the muscles of his
leg, the injury was called a charley
horse, and the expression caught on
elsewhere in baseball. Yours truly,
Dave Ferguson.

Mr.. zochert had been receiving
old-age insurance benefits since
July 1854. Mrs. Zochert became
entitled to monthly wife's benefits
in June 1855, when she reached
IS. If he had lived, both he and
his wife would have received high
er benefits effective with the
check payable for the month of
July. AS it is, Mrs. Zochert will
receive a widows benefit of $3.50
a month, $40 more than she would
have been paid if Mr.. Zochert had
not applied last January to have
his social security record frozen,
and then lived into July, the first
month for which incre d
amounts can be paid through the
operation of the disability freeze"
provision.
Mrs. Zochert said that her hus-
band had been so i'll that at
times she didn't know how he
could last. But he hung on un-
til July l" she said, because he
knew I would need the higher

hours of July 1, Mrs. zochert will
receive $40 more per month in So
cial security benefits for the rest
of her life. She will also receive
a lump-sum death benefit increase
by $40 over what she would
otherwise have been paid.
Critically i'll with a heart con-
dition that had kept him from
working since 1851, Mr.. Zochert
knew that he could not have the
advantage of the new disability
freeze" provision in the social Sc
curity law unless he could live un-
til at least 1901 am, July /.
July 1855 is the first month for
which increased amounts can be
paid under this new provision.
The disability freeze" provision
permits a worker who has be-
come disable before reaching 65
to apply to have his social secur-
ity record frozen SO that the
years when he is unable to work
will not be counted against him in
figuring the amount of benefits
payable to him at 65, or to his

payments on our house." Mr.. and
Mrs. Zochert were forced to use
their home as security for a loan
last october in order to obtain
money to pay for Mr.. zocherts
medicine.
The Social Security Administra-
ton urges all totally disabled peo-
pie VINO worked under social Sc
curity for five or more years be-
fore they became disabled to get
in touch with their nearest social
security offices now. In Delaware
the Social Security Office is locat-
ed at 913 West Street, in Will
mington. In the case of those
already over 65, it may mean in
creases in their monthly social Sc
curity retirement checks. For
younger disabled workers, it may
be a means of protecting their
future benefit rights, and those
of their families, against reduc-
ton or loss.
