Dodgers Trounce Reds;
Lead On Giants
NEW YOItK, Sept. 16 UP-It
was a day for the skipper to be
I chipper and Jolly Cholly Dressen,
trying hard to conceal his opti-
mism, made it plain that this time
he thought the Dodgers really
were in.
"I have to be careful of what I
say these days, because they'll
boil me alive if anything goes
wrong," he said after the Dodg-
ers' 11 to 5 victory over the Reds
in which they conked live homers,
two apiece by Jackie Robinson and
Duke Snider and one by Gil Hodg-
es. "Hut things do look a little bet-
ter right now, don't you think?"
Dressen was careful lo empha-
size that Tuesday night it might
be rough again and lliat even the
last place Pirates could cause
them plenty of trouble. lint the
plain facts were that the Dodgers
still were three lull games in front
of the Giants with only 11 more
for each to play.
Other Clubs Relaxed
"Any club that we play except
the Giants is relaxed and free of
pressure and, of course, we don't
play the Giants any more," he
said. "These other clubs have got
the mental feeling that we had
early in the season when we
weren't thinking about anybody
trying to catch us."
However, Drefjsen thought the ]
Dodgers had that relaxed feeling
themselves Monday and that they I
seemed to play all the harder when |
they found out the Giants had i
scored nine runs in the sixth in-
ning in a 12 to 1 victory over the
Cardinals.
It was one of the more hearten-
ing performances by the Brooks
who took a 3 to 1 lead on Robin-
son's first homer in the first in-
l'inally winding up their season
series with Cincinnati regretfully.
They won 17 and lost only five to
the Reds. Robinson's second homer
gave him a total of 1!) lor the year.
When Jim Greengrass, who drove
in four of Ciney's runs, to give
him eight for two days work,
blasted a three-run homer in the
seventh, Carl Erskine went out lor
a pinch-hitter and Joe Black pitch-
ed two hitless innings to protect
Erskine's 13th victory. Hodges now
has 31 homers while Snider's two
blasts also gave him a total of lit.
Easy Victory For Maglie
The Giants sent 13 men to bat
in their winning inning in which
Alvin Dark tied a National League
record by hitting two doubles.
Whitey Lockman paced the Win-
ners at bat, driving in four runs,
two with a single in the big inning,
and two more with a homer in the
following frame. Sal Maglie, mak-
ing his tilth pitching appearand
in eight days, breezed lo his 17th
victory, holding St. Louis to six
hits.
In the only other major league
activity Monday, the White Sox
topped the Red Sox, to 2, and
the Tigers edged the Senators, 5
to 4. Rocky Krsnich drove in the
marginal runs for Lou Kretlow
with an eighth inning single. Kret-
low, who had been out with bur-
sitis, struck out 10 Red Sox and
gave up only six hits in his first
work since Aug. 17. Mel Parnell
and A1 Zarilla homered for Boston.
Rookie Harvey Kuenn trippled for
his fourth hit in the Tiger ninth
then scored the winning run for re-
liever Hal Newhouser on Fred Hat-
field's single. It was Newhouser's
199th major league triumph.
The Yankees, 2 1-2 games in
front of the skidding Indians, re-
sume their pennant drive against
last place Detroit Tuesday while
the Indians play Tuesday night at
Washington. The Giants take on
the Cubs while the Dodgers have
their night game against the Pi-
rates.
Monday's Star
Sal IVIaglie of the Giants, pitch-
ing his 17th victory, 12 to 1 over
the Cardinals, with a six-hitter in
the fifth appearance in the last
eight days.

nents in the initial rounds of the

ning ,the second in the fifth.

less for the rest of the game. The
Pioneers used three pitchers, the
Gold Sox two.
At Borger, the Gassers took a
short-lived one-run lead over Albu-
querque with three runs in the
second. Albuquerque recaptured

God's Bale Of Cotton
This business of trying to cheat
or rob God is about as old as the
human race. 1 guess we could say
it dates back to Cain. In no age no
|individual or nation has ever suc-
ceeded in the business of cheating
God. It sometimes seems like cer-
tain individuals and nations get
away with it for a while. They
grow rich and wicked at the same
time it seems.
However there has always been j
a certain day of reckoning with I
God. A time or period when we I
are called in to give account of our j
stewardship. Some times we have
observed the rich were made poor !
over night; nations who boasted of I
their strength and security were j
suddenly cut down by the hand of
providence. A brief glance at his-
tory during the past two decades
will easi:-y verify this fact.
What about us? We Americans,
we West Texans? Where are we
!headed? What can be done for us?
iTo say we are on easy street and
have every thing going our way, j
is erroneous. The truth is, our situ-
ation may well be regarded as seri-
ous. I'm not a wet blanket, but I
am a realist. Too many of our peo-
ple are not aware of our plight.
Some how they don't see the trend
of the day.
Our condition is not serious but
what we could find a solution. To
be sure a 10 inch rain would do
much to bring us relief, and yet
that in itself will not be the an-
swer. If we raise a great crop of
cotton next year will God get His
j proportionate share? If we have
the good fortune to bring in 50
new oil wells in the next 12 months,
will God get 11 is share? If our busi-
ness increase and we prosper, will
we forget God?
I believe God would like for us
to answer these questions in our
individual hearts. It's time for all
jof us to take God into our lives,
jinto our homes, into our schools,
into our business. If we have a bus-
iness we cannot take God into it
with us as a partner, we better
ditch that sort of business. t It's
| time for we folks here to experi-
ence a real sense of God's presence
with us. ,
We can depend upon some of our
friends to help us in time of need;
some organizations can and will
help us so far. but all these helpers
are limited. There is on limit to
what God can do. Let us cease
limiting Him by our unbelief. His
ability to help us is determined by
our faith in Him and His promises.
A whole hearted turning to God
in sincerity and reality by all of
us will relase His favors and
mighty power in our behalf.

Girl Isn't Indian,
Texas Family Finds
A N T E L O P E, Tex., Sept. 16
—UP—The E. E. Bowens, who
took a self styied "lroquoid In-
dian girl" to their ranch Sunday,
said Tuesday they are taking her
back to the Salvation Army at Fort
Worth. Bowen said his wife was
"taking her back where she came
from"—to the Salvation Army at
Fort Worth, which found her a
hotel l oom after she was picked up
Friday trying to hitch a ride near
Fort Worth.
"We've got to go to Denver and
we didn't want to leave her here
alone," Bowen said. "My wife's
starting back to Fort Worth with
her now."
The girl, who said her name was
Yalamulankastidanamusta ij u s t
call me 'Kiin' "), said she ran
away iroin the St. Regis, N. Y.,
Indian Reservation to come to a
Texas "boss ranch."
The Bowens have a "hoss ranch"
near Antelope, so they offered to
take the girl despite the fact that
a Texas Christian University pro-
lessor said her story of ail Albino
Indian tribe is "fantastic."
Monday night the Connecticut
state police reported "Kim" had
been identified as Connie Smith, 10,
of Sundance, Wyo., a granddaugh-
ter of former Gov. Nils H. Smith
of Wyoming. Connie ran away from
a girls' camp at Salisbury, Conn.,

rine Greys Here
Lawyer And Tavern
Owner Without Bond
In Alice Shooting
ALICE, Sept. 16—UP—A lawyer
and a tavern owner were held in
jail Tuesday for a hearing Wednes-
day on charges of conspiracy in
the "mistake" slaying of Jacob S
Floyd Jr., 22.
The two men failed Monday in a
bid for release in bond. District
Judge Sam G. Reams, who was
said to have been marked for
death in the same plot that result-
ed in Floyd's murder, ruled that
his court did not have jurisdiction
in the case until after the exam-
ining trial.
That trial was scheduled for 10
a.m. Wednesday before Justice of
the Peace Brown Fuller.
The two defendants, attorney
Nago Alaniz and San Antonio tav-
ern owner Mario (EI Turko) Sa-
pete, said they would appeal
Reams' ruling to the court of crim-
inal appeals at Austin.
Monday's hearing filled the court
room to capacity, with many spec-
tators standing through morning
and afternoon sessions.
Floyd was shot the night of Sept.
8 in the driveway beside his home.
Police believed his killer intended
to murder Jacob S. Floyd Sr., his
father, an active political oppo-
| nent of Sheriff George Parr, the
"duke of Duval" county.
Alaniz called the elder Floyd the
j night his son was killed, and was
warning him of a plot against his
life at the moment the younger
| Floyd was being shot.
A third man, Alfredo Cervantes,
was charged with murdering
Floyd, but the charge was dis-
missed Monday. Special prosecutor
Spurgeon Bell said it was dismiss-
i ed "for technical reasons."
Cervantes had not been appre-
| hended. Police believed he might
i be in Mexico.
Truman Tells AFL
Special Interests
Plan 'New Attack'
NEW YORK, Sept. 16 —UP—
President Truman told the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor convention
Tuesday that "some of the special
interests are already grinding their
axes for a fresh attack on labor
in the event of a Republican vic-
tory."
In a message to AFL President
William Green, Mr. Truman said
he had seen indications recently in
the Wall Street Journal that "plans
are afoot in Wall Street to make
the Taft-Hartley law even more
oppressive and unfair than it is at
present."
The President's message con-1
tinued:
"Not all Republicans are posses-
sed by a hostility to labor, but it
appears that the Republican can-
didate has now made his peace
with the author of the Taft-Hartley
law.
"Apparently his conduct will not
be out of line with the Republican
platform, which, in my opinion, is
the most anti-labor platform they
have submitted to the country in
at least 16 years."
Mr. Truman's message was read
to the delegates in the second ses-
sion of the 71st annual AFL con-
vention. It followed an address by
Mutual Security Administrator Av-
erell Harriman, who said he agreed
with Dwight D. Eisenhower, the
Republican presidential nominee,
that there is a "mess in Washing-
ton" but he defined the mess as
"the Republican party."
Legion CMef Says. ,
UN Should Carry
Battle To Enemy
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16 — UP
—Lewis K. Cough, new national
commander of the American Legion
urged that the United Na-
tions "carry the war to the enemy
in Korea."
He said the UN should bomb
Manchurian bases across the Yalu
river and use atomic weapons "if
necessary."
Gough said the Allies should con-
vert the Korean conflict1 into "a
military war and not a political
war."
"The military could have won it
a long time ago," he said.
Gough also urged that the UN
make "full use of Chinese Nation-
alist troops and guerrillas." He
said the "best way to reconquer
China is with Asiatic anti-Commu-
nists doing it themselves with our
help."
It is true that porposes kill
sharks, says the National Geo-
graphic Society. Their weapons are
their tough snouts, with which
they butt the tender gill slits of
their often larger adversaries.

Six Marine Jet*
Pilots Are Lost
WASHINGTON, Sept. IB —UP—
Six Marine jet pilots were killed in
j Korea last Thursday when they
flew their planes into a storm-
shrouded hillside, the Marine Corps
announced Tuesday.
The Marines withheld news of the
tragic mishap until next of kin were
notified.
The six pilots, flying Pantherjet
planes, were returning from a com-
bat mission together and were ap-
| aproaching a strange field when
they struck the hillside, the Ma-
rine Corps said.
The dead were all members of
the Able Eagles squadron.
