Giants Get Dividend From Shaw

Steers Club to
Comeback Win
BY the Associated Press

The New York Giants took
out en- insurance policy last
year when they got Quarter
back George Shaw from the
Baltimore Colts. They received
a dividend yesterday as the
former Oregon star brought
them from behind for a 2l-19
victory over San Francisco.
In other National Football
League openers, the champion
Colts turned in a
lackluster 300 victory over the
Redskins, Cleveland romped
over Philadelphia, 41-24, and

umph after the Packers had
taken six exhibition games
without a setback.

Shaw Takes Over
Shaw, taking over for the
veteran Charlie Conerly in the
second half with the Giants
trailing, l4-7, steered the East
ern Division champions to VIC
tory before a San Francisco
crowd of 44,598.
Shaw'S 24-yard pass to Mel
Triplett in the final quarter
provided the winning margin.
However, the Giants held the
Forty-Niners on the 1-foot
line and then gave them an
intentional safety.
Y. A. little passed for the
first San Francisco touchdown
and Joe Perry went over from

Smiths Error Hurts

The Pirates defense wasn't
exactly awe-inspiring in the
81. 4-2 and Az weekend
losses to the Braves. Neither
was their speed.
Pittsburgh was guilty Of four
misplays in the three-game set
in Milwaukee, two in yester-
days defeat. The most dam
aging error was Catcher Hal
Smiths wild throw in an at
tempt to pick Ed Mathews of
first in the eighth inning. Bill
Bruton sped home from second
with the tying run on the
wild throw, forcing the game
into extra innings. Mathews
homer off Face in the 10th, his
38th. following a two-out walk
to Del Crandall, broke up the
game.
The Pirates appeared to have
broken the % tie in the ninth

of a three-game series against
the Sagging Senators.
There will be a home run

Earl Battey excepted will
try to recall how it's done. The
Senators have hit only four
homers in their last nine games,
with Battey collecting three
and Jim Lemon the other.
Battey's 18th homer was the
Senators lone run in yeSter-
days 81 loss to Baltimore.
Lemon, who has % \hom-

slammed 80, will join Battey
in a slugging display against
a Yankee group headed by
Roger Maris and Mickey Man

Mcconnell Gives
Prescription for

"See and be seen on Halo

That prescription for safe
Haunting" was given to young
sters and their parents yester-
day by ]. H. Tyler Mcconnell,
president of the Delaware Safe
ty Council.
''Make-believe spooks and
other pranksters who venture
out in traffic at night wearing
dark costumes are running a
risk of bee mi ing honest-to
goodness ghosts" he said.
Dark objects blend with the
dark background and cannot be
seen by passing motorists"
He appealed to parents to see
that their children's halloween
costumes are made of light col
ored material or are trimmed
with light-colored or reflector
lied strips. Since such costumes
are usually more dramatic than
dark ones, he said youngsters
will probably find them more
attractive.
MIR. Mcconnell also warned
against the dangerous practice
of wearing masks.
"A mask cuts down the wear
er's vision and a child wearing
one will have difficulty seeing
approaching cars" he said.
youngsters can do up their
faces with makeup and see
where they are going" he sug-
gested.
He also called upon motorists
to do their share to make this
a safe Halloween. He urged
them to drive slowly and care
fully, keeping a constant look
out for youngsters-especially
near schools and parks and in
residential districts.
Don't make a fatal Halo

you for the rest of your life"

to drag his heels and beat at

youngsters who competed at

The two, Bob Linders and

the Northern Valley High

mile championship in the fast

second quarter with a 49.6 lap,
after a bad start, and Caruso
ran the anchor leg in 48.7 to
win by six yards. The latter
also happens to be the national

champion, while Linders, who
is better at longer distances,
has been clocked in 1855 for

co-writers, Bob Considine and
Bill Slocum. Twenty years ago
the old champion had only one.
Myron M. Stearns, to assist
with his autobiograp
nd-by-Round," and it was
all right.
But the new team has come
up with a breezier, faster-mov-
ing tale, with more emphasis
on such sidelines as Dempsey's
three marriages and the 1918
draft-dodging charge, which
Jack always contended was a
bum rap.
Dempsey retraces his steps
over much of the ground cover
ed in the first book. He doesn't
let you forget the hunger of his
youth and almost animal exist
ence of his early manhood
the slow, brutal climb to fame,
the brief successes and disap-
pointments, the thieving and
conniving managers. In this
newest book Dempsey speaks
bitterly of the blood-suckers
who haunted his early years.
Dempsey confesses that as a
youngster he refused to fight
Sam Langford because he was
afraid of him. He says another
colored fighter, John Lester
johnson, "hit me the hardest
punch / ever took, and that in
cludes everybody who ever hit
