After Extra Dough
In the last 10 years there has
hardly been a world series when
Frisch hasn been in the lineup
If a season finishes without
FRANKIE coping some extra series
money, he doesn't know whether
to take the poor debtors oath or
have a nervous breakdown.
So when / favored the AS be-
cause they are all great money
players, 1 made a typographical
error. Just one guy like Frisch
offsets a whole opposing lineup
of maZuma hounds. And frankie
should worry when his baseball
playing days are over. He will
still have a pawnbrOker'S mind.
The Cards pitching staff viii

not to let himself get kidnapped

together in this quartet, and,

BERLIN. Dec. IT GN.S) In
another gesture of defiance
against his enemies, Adolf Hitler,
fiery Fascist leader, today plan
ned to return here from Munich
on Sunday and place himself
within easy access of authorities
who have been asked to arrest
him.
When the Nazi leader left Ber

Now he plans to return within
48 hours after publication of an
open letter to Chancellor Bruen-

ing the chancellor for his DEGREES

In announcing his intention of
returning to Berlin, which he
left soon after his world-startling
indictment of the government a
few days ago, Hitler added an
other characteristic challenge to
foes who asserted he has violated
