NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-THE
years seem to run together and
form a pattern no more sensible
than the splotchy finger paint

emerged memorable moments in
previous collisions between the
Yankees and Dodgers, who will

There was AL Gionfriddo
Streaking back to the visiting
bullpen in Yankee Stadium's left
field, where the big white nu-
meralS read "415 feet" to stab a
soaring drive by Joe DiMaggio.
The catch was so incredible that
seldom-rufled Joe kicked the dirt
in disgust as he pulled up half
way to second base.
And Floyd Bevens, one out
from a no-hitter, suddenly
smashed from the pinnacle Of
glory by Coke Lavagetto's pinch
double which produced two runs
and within a matter Of seconds
changed Bevens' bid for ever
lasting baseball fame to a simple
line which reads Losing pitcher
-Bevens.
And the spectacle of brash
Billy Martin on a windy day at
Ebbets Field, glanced quickly
around him when a pop fly
SCARED skyward, horror-Stricken
by the realization that none of

the naked look that so many
shoe designs have featured.
But the cycle in design is
coming around again, Miss
Osgood said, to covered-up

gently but which are still fat

THE DETAILS

]. d. Inlay son, Jerry, was
caught stealing money from his
employer and might have be-
come police case, were it not
for the fact that the employer
himself dreaded publicity and
was willing to have me pay back
the money in installments.
When l asked my son why he
did it, he shocked me by telling
me that he had stolen before
on number of occasions. He
refuses to give any reason for
this behavior, and he certainly
has no reason to feel desperate
about money. I can't get much
out of him. and whenever 1 try
to reason with him, he tells me
that if I want him to, he will
gladly leave home and take care
of himself, but will not stand
for any lecturing.
Jerry-My boss was not as
kind as he makes out. He does
not want any publicity because
he runs bookmaking establish
ment in back of the store where
1 worked. My father sees
nothing wrong with that. and he
got me the job, where I worked
for peanuts, just so I would be
out Of his hair.
I'm no holdup man, but I
don't see why I should be ex-
pected to work for practically
nothing while people all around
me do what they please. When
/ was going to school, I never
got the spending money the
other kids did, so if I came in
late at night and found the cash
box, helped myself and didn't
have to fight with my parents
for every nickel.
I would not steal from any
one who was giving me a decent
break. My father never had any
use for me. I had ideas about
my future, but he wasn't in
terested He's always found me
penny-ante jobs with bis friends.
and I've had to take care Of
myself in my own way.

phrase. Il had ideas about my

I have received many letters

The doctor has warned him and
I keep after him. But it's no use.
He calls the doctor a killjoy and
me a nagger. Just what can one
do with people like that?"
Recently, I came, across some
words by DR.. Lawrason Brown
that related to this question. He
wrote: after all, the most i'm
portant thing is to be able to
control ones self. Unless a pa

occasion arises, his chances for
getting well are very slight. He
can tear down in one day or in

months to build up. A man often
dies on account of his disposition
rather than an account of his
disease"
