BEC MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE AMERICAN LEAGUE RESUMING AFTER FOUR-BAY LAYOFF Br Clan Parkins UP Staff Correspondent New York, Sept. 15. (U.R). The American league "four-ring circus" was scheduled to resume performances again today after a four day layoff brought about by the whimsy of schedule makers and early autumnal rain fall. There was plenty of debate about which team benefited most by the stretch loafing, but most votes went to the St. Louis Browns, who were weary and stale when they ended their road campaigning for the year at Chi cago by splitting a double head er last Sunduy. Lack Pitchers The Browns, who open at home against the White Sox to night have only one pitcher, Nelson Potter, who has been able to win more than one game In the past month and such weary campaigners as Slg Jaku ckl, Jack Kramer, Bob Muncrlef and Denny Gatehouse are al most sure to show some Improve ment after their rest. The same condition probably exists with the Detroit Tigers, who have been forced to depend largely upon their two big win ners Paul (Dizzy) Trout and Hal Newhouser. The Tigers play two at Cleveland tonight. Manager Joe McCarthy made no secret of the fact that he was chafing over the long de lay. The Yanks had a game at Philadelphia rained out twice and will play It Sunday as part of a doubleheader at Yankee sta dium. The Yanks remain Idle until tomorrow. The Boston Red Sox, a fairly strong road club, have completed their campalgii at home and be gin their final trip at Washing ton tonight with the team In good shape. Giants Tl Cubs ' In a curtailed National league schedule yesterday, the Giants moved Into a fourth place tic with the Cubs end the Brooklyn Dodgers squeezed Into sixth place ahead of Boston by win ning single games of scheduled doublcheadcrs beforo the coastal hurricane arrived. Rookie Bill Voisclle became the first Giant pitcher to win 20 games since the 1937 season when Carl Ilubbell and Cliff Melton did It, beating the Phila delphia Phillies, 12 to 1. Augle Galan gave the Dodgers a B to 4 victory over the Boston Braves by singling with the bases loaded In the last of the ninth. Ray Mueller of Cincinnati broke a 39-year National league record for catchers by handling his 134th consecutive game In the opener of a doubleheader at Chicago, which he helped win, 8 to 2, with a home run. Chi cago took the second game, 4 to 2, with a homer by Roy Hughes providing three of the runs. Cunder Hagg Slow After Long Rest Malmoe, Sweden, Sept. IS. (U.R) Swedish track enthusiasts wondered today whether Gundcr Hagg, the track star, had lost the edge that made him one of the greatest distance runners In history. Hagg, reappearing after a rest of several weeks, ran the 3,000 meters In 8:09 8 yesterday, far slower than his semi-official world record of 8:01.2 for the distance. Ho defeated Gustave Heino, who finished with a time of 8:10.8. HOW TtlETC Pacific Coast Laaque W. L.

IS, 1944 KAISER SLAMS OLSON 10 SLEEP Jack Kaiser and Milt Olson matched wits and brawn last night in the main event of the weekly mat schedule at the arm ory and after 18 minutes of scien tific grapplying Kaiser put his clever foe through a scries of backward body slams to elimi nate him for the evening. Mack Lillard's program prov ed one of the best seen for some time. Paavo K a t o n e n and Pat "Rowdy" O'Dowdy gave the crowd plenty of opportunity to blow off steam until the former took the match. O'Dowdy lived up to his nickname and played the ropes a considerable portion of the time. Both wrestlers leap ed, beat, butted and practically spat at each other. The three-round opener be tween Elton Owen and Harold (Buck) Davidson ended In a draw, each taking one full. The first round was pretty even with Earl Yoakley, referee, breaking up holds left and right and get ting tangled up also. In the sec ond round Owen shoulder-butted Davidson to a fall In six and a half minutes. Davidson took the third round with a backbrcaker, both resorting to fists and David son to the ropes. Lillard announced that the boxing commission has lined up a number of good wrestlers to appear on the weekly cards In the near future.

CASH In a FLASH FOR YOUR CAR Sara Time, Cash & Gai Call AUTOMOBILE MARKET tth and Bartlutt Sts. Phona 3919 No Red Tap Whan You 811 to Us Cardinals' Crash Dive Puts New Wrinkles In Kid's Brow By Jack Cuddy United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Sept. 18 (U.R) Even a championship baseball team is entitled to one slump a season, but Billy the Kid South worth couldn't be blamed today for hoping that his crash diving Cardinals will revert to normal now that the pesky Pittsburgh Pirates are out of the way for the campaign. what worries Billy, a career i man at brow furrowing, is whether the club hasn't been taken down with something a little worse than "buc" fever. His was supposed to be the super-team of the big leagues, the one that had designs on most of the National league rec ords. Yet at the present read ing, they aren't even as se curely fixed in the National league lead as last year's Cardi nals, who had none of the aura of supermen about them. Lead Melts On Sept. 15 of 1943, that edi tion of the Cardinals had a 16V4 game margin over the second place Dodgers, while as of today the current outfit has only a 13!4 game lead over the Pirates. Although the current 'Cardi nal percentage of .699 is better than their Sept. 15 standing of .674 in 1943, the team will have to step up its recent pace to equal last year's final standing of .680 when it turned in 104 victories. A diagnosis of what's wrong witli a team that can win only four out of its last 15 games would seem to Indicate pitching weakness. That should be great news for the American league supporters of the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees. Those teams have been sailing along lately with brilliant pitching something usually vital in a short haul test like the World Series. Cooper Only Help In their last 10 games only Fork-baller Morton Cooper has been able to go the route, doing It twice. Max Lanier, generally considered the best left hander in the league, has been knocked out three straight games and has lost five gomes in a row, a direct reversal of his form prior to that when he won 10 Straight. Rookie Ted Wilks, who won 11 straight earlier, has been kayoed twice and has lost two of his last three. Harry (the Cat) Brechecn, another brilliant lefty, has been knocked out three straight times, while the rookie corps of Fred Schmidt, El Byerly, Al Jurisich and Blix Donnelly have been of no help recently. There have been other weak spots. Tlio hitting has suffered a little in recent weeks, with the situation probably at its worst now with the team's "one-two- punch of Stan Musial, the leading batter, and George Kur owski, the top home run hitter, both hors de combat. Musial was laid low in an outfield col lision and Kurowsky has re tired temporarily for an oper ation on his eye. PRAISES DEWEY Cincinnati. O., Sept. 15 (U.R) The biennial convention of the United Mine Workers of America' today approved a re port recommending that the union refrain from a presiden tial endorsement, but which strongly criticized the Roose velt administration and praised Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, repub lican presidential nominee. The report was submitted by the resolutions committee and was approved by a standing vole after delegates supporting Mr. Roosevelt argued during 40 minutes of debate that criticism of the administration by UMW President John L. Lewis and his officers was unjustified. Tho report charged that the Roosevelt administration "now known as the ex-New Deal'' actively had opposed labor gen erally and the UMW In partic ular; had reinsert to appoint a labor member as secretary of labor and had abolished collec tive bargaining in favor of the "Fiat of Governmental Agen cies."

I've been watching them since first they were built several years ago and they have grown to stand for something or other, though Just what I can't say. Maybe after reading this you can. Where the road winds along following the line of the bay, there are some lovely building sites. At one place in particular there Is a sweeping curve and from lt one can see the long green bridge with the distant town a blurred tapestry flung over the hills. We thought the two- couples had chosen well when they started building their homes there. We were delighted with the swift progress of one. How quickly the house went up! How charming the awnings at the windows and the 'awn swing! How pleasing the flower beds so rapidly taking on shape and color! Across the road the other lit tle house developed more slow ly. It remained unpainted a full two years after the first one had been given Its coat of white. I do not know when the windows were curtained, Being too taken with the Venetian blinds, and the hint of draperies behind them, of the other house to no tice. New and shiny playthings dotted the lawn around the up- and coming house. We noticed those In the yard of the other house were homemade. Then I was away for several months. On my return, as we came to the curve of the road where I knew the two houses were, my first glance was turn ed to the up-and-coming house. Oh, I Just knew tome wonderful things had been done to it since last I'd seen it. Things had come to pass, but they were not wonderful. The lawn was dried up; toys lay scat tered but they were faded and quite plainly had been left undis turbed by chlldiish hands for a long time. The couple, I was told, had separated; the chil dren had been sent to a grand mother. But the house across the road had been given a fresh coat of paint. There was a white picket fence over which roses flung riotous sprays of bloom. A wom an In a ruffly apron came to the door and shook a rug. Children's voices were a gay spatter of sound from a swing at the back; children which hadn't been sent to live with grandmother May be It's slow and steady does it in home-making and marriage as it does with so many things. May be that's the moral, If there is one. Sardine Creek Sardine Creek, Sept. 15 Mr. and Mrs. J. U.
