Poor Old Browns Perk Up While Mighty Cards Fade Wm VnrV. Julv 23 (U.R) Wouldn't it be funny If the poor old Browns managed to aeiena their championship while the high and mighty Cardinals missed out? Although the Browns have been kicked around down in the American league second division through much of the season, they have "perked up" lately and to Hnv Dm nnlv n half came further back in their American league race than the Cardinals are in the National. Something to celebrate together In spirit which is just about the best way to get around in these times all our veterans, from the President down, were in Seattle the other day to help Walter French celebrate com pletion of 4 Not That's wrong! Fiddle-de-de upon that completion stuff! Actually, from far and near, Standard Oilers gathered in spirit to help Walter French celebrate the start of his 46th year with our company. That's something he had been working toward since 1900. Yet, like many of our old timers, his enthusiasm is for the new day for the year ahead. Now, 1900 was a long time ago. We featured lamp oil, axle grease and candles. If you in sisted, we'd sell you some gas oline. But we didn't keep much on hand. For who was so bold as to predict that the automo bile let alone the flying ma chine was here to stay? It was nearly a decade be fore Walter French helped since every member of our Se attle staff had a hand in it open the wotld's first service station. Yet, in 1900, we already had been operating in Seattle for 14 years. Already joung men in Seat tle were saying this was I good company to tie to. Already Walter French could feel that if he made good he had a steady job. And already this company realized that it, too, had an ob ligation to make good with . such employees as Walter French. For, in this land of the free, a steady job must be a mutually agreeable job. Neither a Hitler nor a Himmler says where any one shall work. So we feel that our company also had some thing to celebrate when Walter French started his 46th year with hundreds of fellow veter ans giving him a cheer. f flofl wM 4 itan, worded to ear KdiiMnd tfkrf SICKS' BREWING COMPANY A SICKS' ' pnfsi-J The Browns have won seven out of 11 games on their current road trip, the best out of town showing for them this season.

GOLFlLDlSH GETS UNDER WAY Chicago, July 23 U.PJ Golf's greatest gold rush, the $60,000 AU-American tournament, gets under way today at the Tarn O' Shanter country club with the best field since 1942. The Ail-American, composed of a men's open, an amateur and a women's open, is the game's annual Barnum and Bailey show. The main attraction is the men's open in, which a brilliant field, headed by Byron Nelson, Slammin' Sammy Snead and Lt. Ben Hogan, will be after the $13,600 in war bonds that goes to the winner. It's the first time since Snead entered the navy In 1942 that this great trio has com peted. ! . Nelson Rests Nelson, in the midst of a rec ord winning streak, skipped the St. Paul open tournament to rest his golf weary back in prepara tion for this tournament, which he has won three times in its four-year existence. Snead did the same thing, giving his in jured wrist another week of rest. But Snead and Nelson missed something when they passed up the St. Paul open. Sgt. Ernest J. (Dutch) Harrison of Wright Field, O., showed he would be a hot challenger in the All Amcrican by winning It with a 72-hole total of 273 strokes, 15 under par.

Olive Barber's Letter Seattle: It was just 3 o'clock when I left the hotel and went into the street this morning, de termined to see what the city was like at this time of day. Last night that same street had been a fairyland, with its blazing neon lights and gaily clad girls; girls mostly escorted by men in uni form. Indeed all the downtown streets had fairly frothed with color, laughter and swiftly mov ing people. Yet this morning at 5, I found e e .quipmenl. trained tnec . ,0piROr a'S'oS nd U wiU ,o find it a good thing i i PLYMOUTH, KEEP ON BUYING the city was like a glass of soda which had lost its fizz. Oh, some of the people walked brisk ly, purposefully and were, I sur mised, on their way to work. But many brought to the new day the dregs of a misspent night. For instance, sailors so young one wondered how and where they had obtained the drink which had bloated their childish faces and blurred eyes which should have been keen with the joy of the new day. The reek of alcohol was a nauseating profan ation of all that youth stands for. Yet this was the city and while I was filled with a great pity, I saw it with open eyes and evad ed nothing. At 5:15 I entered a cafe and in a booth a fat disheveled wom an was urging a frail wisp of a little girl to eat her breakfast. "Fill your belly and you'll for get you're sleepy," she ordered the pale wraith drooping in the seat opposite her. The child, a girl of about six I should judge, smiled wanly , but refused the food. I wondered what story lay behind the pair the huge un kept darkish woman and the fragile, blonde girl-child. Five In the morning is an unseasonal hour for a sleepy child to be abroad; and in the care of one so evidently unfit to care for her. At another booth, an elderly news-vending woman slept, her stack of papers before her, her sleep-slacked hand about a half drained glass of milk. A gray stubble of beard filmed her chin and jowls. In my mind, my hand reached out and stroked the so- wearily slumped shoulders of the sleeping woman. There, but for the grace of God, sat I. A semi intoxicated soldier gave me a crooked, deprecating smile and said, "Good-morning Mother, his voice fuzzy, his focus uncertain. "Good morning, Son," I returned and for the mo ment he truly seemed my son and I was filled with a great yearning in his behalf. In the days to come, that very lad might, In my defense, be made to face eternity. "God keep 1 make!
