word of appreciation for a pitcher
haunted by bad luck. With the
best record in the majors for 1856,
Newcombe ingloriously fails to
finish a world series game. Now
the second-gueSserS are riding
Newcombe on the rails. He is
being accused of "chocking up" in
the critical games; but certainly
some of the 81 games he won this
year must have been critical. The
Brooklyn manager had 1t right
when he said that had it not been
for Newcombe Brooklyn would
not have been in the series. That
was a most generous gesture from
one who knows.
And so we must not so soon for
get the hero of yesterday. For
yesterday we were all hailing
Newcombe as our great Negro
pitcher-and although he has
failed in four attempts in world
series assignments, he still is a
crest pitcher. 1t is not always that
our heroes can come through.
Newcombe has been matched
with Robin Roberts of the Phillies
on several occasions and l havs
never known him to outpitch
Roberts who beats him every
time. But still Newcombe must be
4 great pitcher to get where he is
at the top of the pitching heap
for 1856. Hurrah for Big Don

HURRAH FOR DON NEWCOMER

- SACSSullSly ullIlcult 10
Danish from human minds the
notion Of luck" The very idea
OF luck lacks the support OF
learned intelligence, and il has
no basis in science and logic. But
IN the daily experiences of man
KIND the idea will not down. How
else do we account for the fact that
one Sows in tears while another
reaps in joy? How else do we
explain that the innocent Off
times go to prison, while the
guilty live at large? How do we
explain that one lays the founda-
tions in sweat. and tears and
great travail, while another reass
the glory and honor?
The writer remembers well
how an humble minister in one
OF our large eastern cities lsid
great foundations by having his
congregation to buy cheap proper
ty which later sold at fabulous
prices. The minister who had the
vision and made the sacrifice
died unhonored, unwept and un-
sung. Another minister came on
the scene, sold the properties,
moved the church and rebuilt in
a better neighborhood and died,
as he lived, in greatA glory and
grandeur. Here was a case of one
man laying the foundations and
another getting the glory by inn
posing a great structure. One per-
son often makes the sacrifice and
another gets the glory.
This phenomenon so prevalent
in life'S experiences presses upon
US the notion of luck, or some
thing akin to it-fortune and mis-.
fortune. Some will say, "away
with the notion of luck; for luck
comes only to those who have the
will and the determination to press
forward toward life's goals" And
yet when all is said and done, the
sad fact remains that many who
have Striven nobly have failed TO
make their mark while others
who inherited much have reaped
a great reward. Work explains
success in many instances but not
in all; and in those instances
where work has not brought Sue
cess and some unexplained factor
hurtled the casual workers into
the arms of success, it takes some
thing like luck to explain.
Don Newcombe has faced the
New York Yankees four times
in world series games and four
times he has failed to take them.
How else can we explain the fail
ure of one of the games greatest
pitchers except through the fac
tor of luck. "A pitcher who can
win top honorS in the pitching
world; fails utterly in a world
series and the presSures thereof.
This writer viii always believe
that it was Newcomers first world
series game and IT'S outcome that
broke in some ways NEWCOMERS
heart in a world series.
It YVES his firstNa it came to the
last inning of what had been a
hitless game for the 'Yanks. New
combe allowed but one hit and
that was home run 10y Heinrich
that lost the game for Newcomlbe.
That was enough to break any
pitchers heart. This bit of luck
on the part of the Yanks did
to Newcombe. 1t is our
belief that he has never fully re-.
covered from the staggering bad
bre2k that lost his finely pitched
world series game. Few world
series games have been better
pitched and none so well pitched
and lost-on one hit.

Dutch Elm Disease
Maple Wilt Striking
Trees With Suddenness

Dutch elm disease of elms and
maple wilt of naples are showing
up with startling suddenness this
summer.
whiting of leaves is the first tell
tale sign Then branches and limbs
die back.
Both diseases are caused by in
ternal fungus infections. AS the
fungus spreads the sap stream is
clogged. The fungus also gives off
toxins, which are poisonous to the
tree.
Dutch elm disease is a rather
rapid killer. Marie or verticullum
wilt, caused by q different fungus
organism, can kill too, although in
most cases with not the rapidity of
Dutch elm disease.
With hot, dry weaIner the effects
of the disease are accentuated, ac-
cording to Don Cantwell, District
Manager of the Bartlett Tree Ex-
pert Company. The tree demands
more water to keep the leaves go
ing. But when moisture cannot
rise through the clogged pipelines
inside a tree, willing results.
Trees of exceptional value can
be saved by prompt treatment if the
infection is not too far spread.
Chemotherapy. the injection of
chemicals into a trees sa., ,rream
is being used with increasing sue
cess.
The chemical nullifies or anti
dotes the poisons of the fungus and
"open up" the clogged pipelines
inside a tree. Different chemicals
or therapeutants are used for each
disease.
ChemotEerapy treatment should
be accompanied by pruning our
dead and dying branches well be-
low the point of infection.
After the toxins have been neu-
tralized and during the trees re-
Operative process, feeding is rec

Marries Italian,
Loses Citizenship

COLUMBUS, Ohio = up - The
time was 1915l An Italian-born
tailor, o. P. Gallo, married an Am
erican-born girl from Columbus
Ohio.
Little did they know that Al
years later their marriage would
keep Mrs. Gallo from getting q
passport. For the act of matri-
mony had cost her a most coveted
thing-her u S. citizenship.
The Gallos found this out re
Gently when they planned to take
trip to Italy and Mrs. Gallo was
denied passport.
Your husband is citizen, but
you are not she was told.
In 1912, three years before their
marriage, a law had been passed
providing that a person who mar
ried an alien lost his or her citizen
ship.
Gallo was naturalized in 1923,
20 years after coming to this coun-
try from his native town of Alb
bruzzi, Italy, north of Rome. But
that action did not, under law,

If she had been aware of the
1912 law, she said, 81 would have
done something about it sooner"
The law which took away her
citizenship was repealed effective
May "a, 1884. 1t said: :" A
woman citizen of the United States
shall not cease to be a citizen by
reason of her marriage unless she
makes a formal remuneration of
her citizenship before court"
Unfortunately for Mrs. Gallo, the
law was not retroactive.
But fortunately, in her case, all
is well that ends well.
In recent weeks, the Gallos made
hurried calls 10 Washington and
trips to the Italian consul in Gin
cinnati. Finally. Mrs Gallo was
repatriated in u. S. District Court
in Cincinnati.
The Gallos started packing their
steamer trunks. They were off to

Girls Charm
Begins With
The Voice
BY HILARY DAVIES
AP NeWsfeatures

What-from a mans point of
VIEWS the most attractive fea-
ture in a woman?
New York speech consultant
Beatrice Desfosses, who has been
Strengthening out peoples vocal
chords for % years, thinks the
voice comes first and that women
have been missing out for years by
worrying more about titivating
than about speaking. She points
out:
e"Many actresses who have a ter
rife following among men have
nothing in the way of looks, but
they have fascinating voices
therein lies their secret"
Voice training, says Miss Des-
fosses, can change the whole per-
sonality for the better. 1t can give
self-confidence help to overcome
nervous habits, turn a shy person
into relaxed convelsationalist or
a recluse into gay hostess.
Her advice to those who want
to improve their own voices is:
listen, observe - and then prac-
tice. She says:
Someone trying to improve her
own speech must first become a
good listener, and analyze the diff
ference between the type of speech
she likes and that she doesn't like.
"She did note that there is a
great deal of monotony in the aver
age voice Listen to the melody and
rhythm in a good speaking voice
and how important words are
brought out and stressed. Try to
avoid dreary all-one-tone man
ner.
"Observe good speakers and no.
tice how flexible their mouths are,
and how they shape sounds. A
common fault is talking through
clenched teeth, and not using the
mouth to form correct sounds.
"Whisper into mirror, watching
if your mouth shapes words cor
rectly. Or do it with another per-
son-try to carry on a conversa-
ton by forming words with your
lips but not making a sound"

after planting is low. Only cold
weather will terminate growth and
cause the seedlings to harden to a
point where they can be successfully
