SOONER BuT FOR THE pRcI
TAGGED o. AfhN

The first step toward the build
ing Of a team with some offensive
strength was taken by the Chicago
White Sox when Owner Charlie
Comiskey purchased Outfielder
Smead Jolley from the San Fran
cisco Seals.
Jolley is one Of the best hitters
In the minor leagues, batting con-
sisently around the 400 mark on
the coast. And though he isn't
as much OF q success on defense as
he might be. he should prove a val
liable addition to the Windy City
crew.
As a general rule Coast league
players make good in the major
leagues, Earl Averill, teammate OF
Jolley's on the coast, was one Of
the younger sensations Of the sea-
son last year, and the new Chi
cagoan is every bit as good as Earl
was when he joined the Indians.
Jolley is a big fellow weighing
2l5 pounds and Is 8 feet 3 inches
tall. He has been playing profess
sionally since 1922. when he joined
the Shreveport Texas league club
He was farmed out to Greenville
and later sent 70 Texarkana.
In 1928 Jolley went to Corsicana
and was purchased by San Fran
cisco the same year. Jolley has al
ways hit we'll with the Seals. He
finished UP last season with a bat
ting averaged .385, driving out
38 home runs.
He might have been UP before
this had not the Seals demanded
so much for his sehvices. More
than one big league club was scared
away when thev read the price tag
attached to Jolley.

university Mustangs continued look
ing forward to the fray with Texas
Christian university next week to
decide the Southwest conference
football championship. The Ponies
could look to the future because Of
their expected "a to 0 victory over

The Owls were sadly outplayed IN
every branch Of the game and
throughout the game except for q
few minutes at the beginning and
end. Pony superiority over the Owl
was especially well illustrate In
Southern Methodist's 81 first downs
TO Rice's four.
Before the first quarter was half

hind the line, a routine feature Of

Coach Ray Morrison at that point
apparently decided not 10 punish the
birds for he sent in several substi-
tutes. mostly second stringers. The
subs functioned like their big broth

the ball on downs to end the half.

off the soggy, rainswept field. And so the grim jokes go on.
 Its your turn next and then mine," one pilot will say 10 another. And then they both grin.
 Hey hey. it's the good old iinks, '' they tell each other over hot dogs in the cantcen. but it's tough as Hell on the ships
 Joke About Funerals
 And there are elaborate farewens and jokes about funeral arrange ments as they take off.
 At times there is an irritability along with the humor One of the stories going about the fields is that, after there had been two crashes in the ncighborhood on Friday, an of ticial called a certain young mil lionaire into his office and just to relieve his feelings. gave him a whale of q bawling- out for every careless stunt he'd ever pulled"
 During the long wait for Captain Frank Hawks Friday night and after he ianded-in a steel fence, but unhurt-there were arguments here that nearly developed into fist fights.
 And when Martin Jensen, forced down from his endurance flight Sat urday night, bitterly upbraided the crew of his refueling plane as he climbed out of his cabin, haggard and lame and deaf from the road of the motor. he was answered just as sharply as he had spoken. although everybody really sympathized with him in his disappointment.

 Activity-thats what pilots crave in times like these. activity and all the Jokes that can he mustered up.
 They found one outlet Friday afternoon when the doctors called for a blood transfusiOn for Viola Gentry. in Nassau hospital as a re suit of the crash in which Ashcratt was killed. So many pilots and me chanics rushed into the hospital in answer to the call that attendants lost count of the number.

Clerk Defes Law on
 Marriage Intentions

Naugatuck, July . (UP)-Law or no law, Naugatuck will con- tinue 10 be the Gretna Green Of Connecticut for couples desiring marriage without publicity-for the present at least.
 Town Clerk Louis Schiller, Jr., champion of shy lovers. declared he would not change his policy of withholding information until he had read the new publicity provision oi the tive-day law which became effective yesterday.
 "I have not seen a copy of the law and for the present I'm going to pretend it doesn't exist, Schiller said.
 The new law. passed by the last legislature, provides for pub. lication Of all marriage inten- tions. schiller believes he can avoid the law by making a rec ord for himself and withholding it for five days.

Roosevelt Field, N. Y, July, | Everybody is doing all the flying he can these days at Roose- welt and Mitchell fields and all the pilots and mechanics and officias have developed a manner that is claborately casual,
 But underneath all this activity and through the laughtcr-the sort of laughter that curls up the corners of the mouth but leaves little furrows between the eyes brows-is visible deadly serious ness, kind of mental tightening of the belt
 Four Fatal Crashes
 There have been four crashes at the Long Island field since last Wednesday, Seven persons have been killed, including two of the most popular pilots along the Atlantic scaboard.
 Friday morning it was Jack Ashcraft, desperately trying to find his way down with empty gas tanks through fog that dropped IS deadly white curtain all the way down 10 the ground.
 Yesterday it was Bill" StuItz, transatlantic flior who was an hor- norary pallDearer at Ashcraft's funeral on Saturday.
 In other hazardous professions, survivors are expected to be n4r- Nously upset and unfit for work when one of their fellow workers is killed. When a workman falls off a stel l skyscraper, for instance. everybody lays off for the remainder of the day.
 Must Conquer Nerves
 But aviation is not like that There is, for instance, that rule in the army flying service whereby pilot, if he comes out of a crash alive and not badly injured. immediately takes up another ship and flies it until he is all cured of his nerves" It was that rule that made Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, with one arm in a sling, take his tianCee up for another ride the very next day after their acci- dent in ,-eXico City last winter.
 And so, all day yesterday at Roosevelt and Mitchel fields, air planes zoomod up again and again
