At the outset the comparison is
in favor of the old Cubs, for the
excellent reason that they were
worlds champions twice in a row
and reason that they were worlds
champions twice in : row and cap
tured four pennants in five years.
There's no escape from that rec
ord. It's nailed down. But from
there you can 60 and make an argu-
ment out of it because the superior
defense of the old timers is offset to
a large extent by theattacking pow
er of the modern Cubs. Into the
balance, the old guard can castthelr
great pitching staff.
It is somewhat startling, IN fact,
to note that the old Cubs were lar
from being batting terrors. They
used to call the old White SoX
s.hitless wonders" but the same title
might have been conferred on the
Cubs, for the fact is they won the
pennant in 1906 with the lowest
team batting average any major
league pennant winner has ever
shown. Frank Chance, "Wildfire",
Schultz and Joe Tinker were GOOD
stickers. but the team mark that
wear was only .228. The 1928 Cubs,
finishing third, batted for .278 ana
with the potent addition OF a ;4oO
clouter in Rogers Hornsby,. tney
figure to raise that mark suostan-

Permit For Games
Of Chance Granted
For Three Periods

The permit granted the Casino
Nogalense to run games over last
week end has been extended to in
clude the next two or three week
ends, according to Senior A. @. VII
llasenor, Presidente of Nogales, Som
ora.
In making this statement Mr..
Villasenor made it plain that he
was opposed to all forms of open
gambling, but due to the somewhat
peculiar economic conditions exist
ing in the Sonora city, it was alb
solutely necessary that some method
be adopted whereby money could be
raised for the charitable organiza-
tions which are badly in need Of
funds. The hospital, he added, Is
particularly in need Of aid as it is
short of many essentials and at the
present time, is filled almost to ca
pacity with patients of the poorer
class unable to provide for them
selves financially.
In Stressing his attitude toward
vice conditions he mentioned his re-
cent cleaning out of cafes and ca
baretS Of the undesirable element.
and spoke particularly of the pre-
sent efficiency of the police depart
ment in keeping down crime of all
kinds, and stated that during the
past fifteen days not one violator
had been booked at the police sta.
tion, a record any city of 10000
population could be proud of.
The Presidente hopes, that on ac-
count Of the lack Of financial re-
sources. a number of attractions
making the city interesting to visit
ors may be arranged These would
90 long way toward making No
gales, Sonora, known to tourists
Vho would come to the city In larg-
r numbers were such forms of div
'rslon as ball games, horse and
vnlppet races, and few games of
he milder order could be arranged.
A municipality without factories,
resources, stock raising.
II any other means for providing
unds, he thought, was in rather a
esperate situation unless other ways
we're devised from which a steady
ncome could be derived.

Postal Innovation

An innovation which is fast gain
ing the favor of the business men
of Nogales is that recently intro
duced by Manager Rollin j. Van
Houton of the Postal Telegraph
Company here. 1t is known as

stantly available which means that

tute the Special Service personnel,

ng conditions. He assumes the duties
Of police chief. believing that the
active head Of a city is virtually
head of all departments as well as
being chief executive.
Open and licensed gambling will
not be permitted, he said, but owing
to the somewhat peculiar conditions
in Nogales, Son., financial
ly, he feels that when the occasion
arises when money is needed it
should be allowed for a limited time
or until the need is satisfied.
