Al Capp, like Li'l Abnel''s sometime pal Joe Htfspik, is be- ing followed around by a small black aloud. Six months after the lit -year. old founder of Dogpatoh, U,S,A,, made his debut as a columnist for The New York Herald Tribune Syndicate, only about 30 papers Were printing his thrice, weekly effort (compared with nearly 1,000 carrying his Abner, which is distributed by United Feat- ures). The Tribune had . not run Capp's column in four weeks and never had carried more than one a week. Capp, who looks like a fatter, older version of Abner himself, still:seems breezily confident of his ability as a columnist, but he is frankly puzzled at his failure to wow editors with words alone "For instance," he said over lunch at New York's Overseas Press Club, "I created a whole country in the column, Nothing happened. Gee, it was deadly, If T'd done the same thing in Abner, every editor in the country would have been yelling for more," ' Despite his troubles, Capp de- clared that "I am now a colum- nist — irrevocably," Then he hinted that he might change syn- • dicates if he can't get a New York showcase for his efforts. At The Trib, his editors had no comment on this point. But it appeared that the bittet truth :sob!) was that cartoonist Capp, however he might persuade him- self that he feels at home at a typewriter, simply isn't as (tinny as a single act as he is with the supporting cast from Dogpatch, Skunk Hollow, Pineapple Junc- tion, and Lower Slobbovia Along .with his other troubles, Capp's penchant for bosomy belles prompted two papers to drop "Abner" recently, The Buf- falo Evening News canceled bath daily and Sunday strips, and The Detroit News eliminated the Sunday panels temporarily (un- til a luscious bikini -clad Lower Stobbovian disappears from the story line). Editor Martin Hayden explained: "There's no doubt that Capp is good .. , but sometimes he goes too far. We go on the basis that comics presumably are for the kids." Real Pitching ? This Was It ! Whenever the subject is pitch- ing, sooner or later somebody says: "How about Carl Hubbell in the 1934 All-Star Game at the Polo Grounds?" And what better time than the present to recall one of the greatest mound feats in the his- tory of baseball? Knioknamed the "Meal Ticket" because of his importance to the New York Giants of the early 30's, Carl Hubbell — presently the farm director of the San Francisco club — was the start- ing National League pitcher on that July day in '34, opposed by a crosstown rival, Vernon (Lef- ty) Gomez of the Yankees, Though Hubbell and his fam- ed "screwball" were highly re- spected throughout the National KNOCKING THE ROCK — It may never achieve the popularity of the revived rocking chair but this Porter's Chair displayed at a home furnishings Show has its points. The enclosed, curved back, something like a sedan chair's, protected occupants from drafts for centuries. The one photographed is as modern as model Irene Simonaitis' costume, even to foam rubber cushions. League, there were those who doubted that the slim lefthander — once turned down by the De- troit Tigers -- would be any match for the great sluggers of the American League, which had .nen like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Foxx, and Al Simmons, among others. Would this fine southpaw be able to stop such powerhouse swingers from pulling balls down the left and right field foul lines at the Polo Grounds, and into the stands for home runs? Could any pitcher successfully stop the recognized extra -base strength of American League hitters? But Hubbell could 'and did—. in a manner unequalled before or since—a manner which,, as much as any single factor, rush- ed him into the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown. When Charley Gehringer led off the first inning with a sin- gle and Heinie Manush walked, American Leaguers were all smiles, convinced that Hubbell's National League "magic" was not going to work here, But then, suddenly, some of the most memoi?abie and colour- ful drama in a baseball history began to unfold. The "Meal Ticket" took a hitch at his belt, got set on the rubber, and started throwing strikes. He fanned Ruth.

And then Foxx swung and missed, It was drama, but Hubbell_ was just beginning. In the second inning, Simmons and Joe Cronin were the first two hitters. Al and Joe would stop this nonsense, thought American Leaguers. But the great Giants' south- paw was the master. He struck out Simmons with the screwball; he .added Cronin. Bill Dickey in- terrupted the parade for, the moment,hitting a single. But Hubbell then fanned Gomez to end the inning. The five men Hubbell fanned in succession had these lifetime batting averages in major com- pany: Ruth .342, Gehrig .340, Foxx .325, Simmons .334, and Cronin — one of the finest "clutch" hitters of them all — a .302 figure. - Hubbell, more than any other All-Star hurler, had risen to the occasion. He was, indeed, the NL "Meal Ticket." Strictly For Murder Fans According to the rules of whodunitrr, it is a violation of the credible for a mystery writer to close his case by saying the butler did it. Real lite, however, is a less exacting form. Back in 1929, Charles Houghton, butter to the Misses Woodhouse in one of the stately homes of England, murdered both mistresses with a sporting rifle when they gave him the sack for serving dinner while drunk. Later, Houghton inexpertly cut his throat and lived to be hanged. Such is the kind of lore.now alphabetically available in this peculiar work of reference, "A Companion to Murder." Of what purpose, one may ask, is a formal dictionary of British murder? Easily answered — to read. Although there may be graver reasons -for looking up John George Haigh—a dapper, friendly little man who would "melt one down in a bath of sulphuric acid, if one possessed any loose capital"—the pure fas- cination of his story is reason enough. Haigh, who poured six people in a liquid state down a manhole' in his cellar, sought to aidhis plea of insanity by con- fessing that he customarily drank a glass of his victim's blood, It didn't work; they hanged him in' 1949. Although 5, Spencer Shew, a former British crime reporter, Limits his compendium to the years 1900,-50, he makes this pe- riod seem a golden age of lathy. Near the start of it, a lady named Amelia Sach was making a living exterminating unwanted babies, under pretense of putting them out for adoption. At the era's end, ex -policeman John Christie was telling the judge he honestly couldn't remember whether he had killed a friend's wife. Since the earth under Christie's ground -floor room was at that moment full of female bodies, his absent-mindedness was understandable, ISSUE 30 — 1961 a. LASSIFIED ADKRTISING AGENTS, CLUBS, ETC'.

For nearly two hundred years the green growth of the Alle- ghenies has tried to hide the twelve -foot track that General Braddock's engineers cut on their way to death in the wilder- ness, but here and there the old track may still be traced. Less famous thoroughfares have just as long a life. The settlements they once served may have dis- SPACEMAN'S FLOWERS — Carrying a bouquet and was/. ing, Yuri Gagarin walks down 51 street in Turku, Finland, dur- ing a reception held In his honor. appeared and the houses that were scattered along them may be nothing but cellar holes, but the roads themselves persist. So far from being merely dis- carded and forgotten relics of the past, they are very busy places, with no suggestion that they mourn their vanished build- ers and the human traffic that once moved along these. The creatures of the woods resort to an old road for the strip of sun- light it offers. On ledges of rock and on the old walls at the road- side snakes like to bask. By day, partridges use a bare patch of gravel for dusting, and whip - poor -wills come by night. On the road, as on the fields of the deserted farms along it, berry bushes are quick to encroach. Birds conte to eat their fruits, and rabbits f o r shelter amid their thorn -set canes. The strong light brings butterflies. An old road invites to reflec- tion as a new and busy road never does. That it has been abandoned may seem a proof of the vanity of human effort. But in fact it proves that no check. need be final, that beyond Ver- mont there is always Ohio. What is immortal about any road is the quality of hope and endea- vour that first cut it through the woods, So long as these per- sist, what happens to the pliy sisal road matters very tittle. At its best, it could never be more than a crude translation of the dream and the pi: 'Tose that shaped it. All roads ,vorihy of the name lead somewhere beyond meeting, mill and mar- ket, and e v e o, an abanrtnl•ed road is one stage on that 'finger journey. — From "Speak to the Earth," by William A.

As a slapstick star of the '20s and 30s, goggle - eyed comedian Harold Lloyd blundered his way :n and out of some of the fun- niest escapades ever filmed. Last month, 67 -year-old Lloyd an- tlaunced plans for reissuing one " c,l his silent classics — "Tho 1'leshman" — as well as choice excerpts from his other films, to be strung together as `Harold Lloyd's World of Comedy." "The lireshman" will be spruced up Fvith sound effects and a musical Lackground, plus a prologue spoken by Lloyd himself, Among the scenes in "World of Comedy": The hair-raising windnw.ledge sequence in "Safety Last' dur- ing which Lloyd hung from the ninth floor of a building in downtown Los Angeles, His only safeguard. A mattress -piled plat- form projecting from a lower floor, out of camera range Lloyd recalled: "We had to take chances
