because / don't use the sacrifice

play for one run. My answer to
that is that the Yankees aren't 4

make them play that sort OF ball
would destroy their greatest
strength and their strongest asset.
Like all managers ] try to develop
my club to play the game they can
play best.
All season long they've played
smashing, free-hitting baseball and
that's the sort Of game they'll play
In the series. Some critics declare
Il isn't smart baseball. I think IT
is. At least, it's smart baseball. if
smartness consists In doing always
the thing you can do best and 1eav-
ing to the other fellow the things
which you do rather amateurishly.
The Cardinals, believe are
much the same sort OF ball club.
Like the Yankees they are slug.
gers. Like the Yankees they. find
1t easier to make three or four
runs than to make one.
But I frankly believe we have
one advance. believe we have q
more sustained attack than, the
Cardinals. Beginning at the top Of
my batting order and going right
on through to the finish there isn't
q really weak spot. Every man
can Inland every man il per.

US. WARRANT OUT
FOR CHARLES PONz|
Using Mail for Fraudulent
Purposes Now Laid at
Wizards Door.
BY the Associated Press.

Wv
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, February IS.
Charles Ponzi Boston financial
wizard today faces the third concur
rent charge in connection with his
latest venture-the promotion and
sale of his Rosemarie land subdivi-
sion in. Columbia County.
The third charge was in the form
of a Federal warrant issued late yes
terday accusing him of using the
United States mails for fraudulent
purposes The Federal officers said
they did not concern themselves with
his sale of lots, but rather with his
offering for sale through the mails his
units of investment.
They said they had complaints from
individuals in the following cities as
a basis for the warrant:
st. Louis. Boston. Medford, Mass;
Readville. Mass: Miami. st. Peters
burg Toledo. Lyons, Ohio: Pittsburgh,
FELTON,, Del; Moose River, Me. Min
eapolis, Lansing, Niagara Falls, Fair
field, Ala. and Cartersville, Ga.
The investigation which led to is
Suance of the warrant. was conducted
largely by the Better Business Bu-
reau. which orga nization also caused
his recent arrest and indictment in
connection with the same enterprise
by Florida authorities.
Ponzi is now at liberty on bond of
$4,000 on the Florida charges. and
also is under bond on Massachusetts
charges in connection with his old
coupon scheme. Since he launched his
latest business here, Ponzi has again
been indicted in the Bay State
charged with violation of the Massa-
chusetts blue sky law. His Boston
manager. Caledonia Alviti, was indict-
ed with him in Massachusetts and also
in Florida. No mention was made of
Alviti in the Federal charges.
The wizard" could not be located
last night and the district attorney
was requested to produce him today.
Failure TO do this would result in an
intensive search for him, Federal Off
GERS said.

TRAFFIC MEASURE
HIT BY ELDR|DGE
Director Will Fight Vigorously
for Items Stricken Out by
House Action.

Being dissa tisfied with the bill
amending the District traffic act in
the form that 1t passed the House yes
terday. Traffic Director t;ldridse an
nounccd today that he would appear
before the Senate District committee
and fight vigorously for the restora
tiOn of those omitted provisions which
he regards as of utmost importance.
Three provisions in the original bill
held by Mr.. F.ldridgc to be OF major
importance. were stricken out by the
House. One gives n new definition
for reckless driving, another provides
an increased penalty for first -offense
speeding and the third provides for
the consolidation of the prosecution
of traffic cases in one office. either the
corporation counsels office or the
office of the United States attorney.
The definition for reckless driving
which Mr.. Eldridge hopes to have
restored in the bill, follows: mo
individual shall drive any vehicle
over any public highway recklessly
or at rate Of speed greater than
is rea asonable and proper. having due
regard to the width of the highway,
the use thereof or the traffic thereon,
or in manner to endanger any per
son or property.
The penalty for first offeDSe speed
ing now ranges from s. to &25, and
Mr.. Eldridge wants the bill to in
crease it from 81 to $500
offenses against the traffic act at
present such as second offense reck-
less driving. third oHense speeding
and driving while drunk are prose
cuted by the United States attorneys
office while the corporation counsel 8
Office prosecutes the other. Mr..
Eldridge believes that only one of
these Offices should handle all traffic
cases and SO provided in the original
draft of the new traffic bill. but the
House saw fit to eliminate this pro.
vision.
