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.

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.
Revolts Far Back
Johnny Revolta, the kinky
haired Evanston, 111., Italian, fin
ished five strokes behind Harri
son, shooting a 70 and a six-under-par
66 on his final two
rounds Sunday.
Behind Revolta was Harold
(Jug) McSpaden of Sanford, Me.,
and Johnny Bulla of Atlanta,
Ga., with 280 strokes. In fifth
place with 281 was Leonard
Dodson of Kansas City, Mo., and
Ed Furgol, young Detroit pro,
who received $650, the first
tournament money he has won
since turning pro three years
ago.

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
