T. seems to me that the Major league baseball clubs are forever trying shuffling or discarding in- fialders in the annual spring hunt for combinations that click.
 Even the Athletics, whose inner works remained the same for so successful a series of operations, have begun to jiggle things around to an extent that First Baseman Foxx may spend considerable time on third base. Third Baseman Dykes go somewhere else, if not the bench, and an ex-pitcher, Os- car Rottger, lands himself steady work at first.
 The worlds champion Cardinals would like to have all their old hands working together again around the infield, but Charley Ge,bert's holdout siege has obliged Gabby Street to test Ford, Delkei and others.
 There are "ifs" and ''buts" in almost every camp where the in- field comes up for discussion.
 Brooklyn figures to start with two new faces in the ''inner works, following the clubs six player exchange with the Cincin- nati Reds. Jersey JoeS Stripp is clo+e5 In start At third with Tony Cuccinello at second-a spot that has long been problem with the Flatbush outfit.
 The Reds must also do some infield juggling with these two reg ulars gone. Wally Gilbert, obtain ed in the Brooklyn trade, and Andy High will battle it out for the third base job, while George Granbham is being groomed fol Cuccinello's old post at second

 Infield jinxes have pursued many an otherwise sound outfit.
 A lot of folks nowadays would hike to have dollar or perhaps own a haf-dollar for every short stop Cleveland has tried out since Joe Sewell was in his prime at that position. Weakness at this spot has cost the Indians many a ball game.
 The Giants have spent, conser- vatively, close to a hah-million dollars in cash or players for sec- ond basemen, including Horns5y and Critz. For @ long time John McGraw had trouble with third base but Johnny Vergez has now solved the problem.
 Pibtsburgh's sore spot for long time has been first base, even when the club was going good gen. erally. Gus Sahr looked like the solution, but he has yet to de- liver in a big way.

VIENNA, Nov. 5.--Tired of be-
ing targets for nazi attacks. the
Jews of Vienna have formed de-
Tense corps, composed of ex-sol-
diers who saw actual service at the
front in the world war.
At their first demonstration,
thousands of Jewish veterans APP
peared and it was the first public
meeting of Jews which the Aus
trian Hitlerites did not attempt
to disturb.
The formation of this defense
corps adds, however, to the list of
semi-military organizations in Aus
tria. Socialists, centrists and fas-
cists all have armed henchmen
trained by former officers of the
old Austrian army.

then through various posts to his
present eminence.
He is only As years old and he
has surrounded himself with a
cabinet of comparatively youthful
ministers. Himself a Lutheran, he
chose three other Protestants and
four Catholics as his colleagues.
His cabinet is the first since
modern Hungary was organized in
1867 not to contain a count or, at
least, a baron.
He began his premiership by de-
claring that his chief concern
would be to give Hungary soul.
He said the country had been de-
pendent for SO long that it had
been unable to develop the spirit
or free nation.

CHANGING OF
VEHICLE TAG
CLEVER WORK
SHERIFF HAS SAME IN HIS
POSSESSION; CONVERT E D
FROM TRUCK TO CAR IL
CENSE

One of the cleverest pieces of
mechanical forgery seen in long
period is in the possession of the
sheriff. An automobile tag that
has been changed from truck to
q car license.
Originally the tag bore the word
truck, stamped vertically, at the
left hand end then the number
41-370 and was dated Florida
1881.
Today it reads D-47-37O and be-
low, Florida 1882. 1t requires the
closest scrutiny to find any trace
of the original numbers that have
been changed or the word truck.
The car had been abandoned by
the owner, and a garage to Wnom
the owner is said to have been in
debted, took it over in order to
salvage some of the parts, and it
was then that the change in the
plate was discovered.
Inquiry by the sheriff disclosed
the fact that a regular business
had been carried on by several
young men in Key West, who have
since been apprehended and are
now doing time.
When the state tag agent was
here the last time he had a num-
Der of these changed tags, some
of which were cleverly done. But
none that he had can compare in
artistry and accuracy of execution
with the tag now in the sheriff's
office.

To make Monroe county's vic
tory a complete one, voters that
go to the polls Tuesday should not
fail to cast their ballot for every
Democratic nominee.
The name of every democratic
candidate should be scratched. In
recent days talk of opposition to
party nominees have been circulat-
ed.
Reports that Karl o. Thompson,
who won the party's nomination
for sheriff, will have opposition,
are in circulation. The committee
calls on every true Democrat to
support Mr.. Thompson at the polls
Tuesday. He won the nomination
of the party and as the nominee
Is entitled to the vote of every
Democrat.
Ray Elwood, Democratic NOM
inee for constable from the first
district, also has opposition. Mr..
Elwood is an efficient officer and
capable of filling the position. He
too should be given the united sup
port of the party.
Failure to scratch the names of
these two nominees might result
in their failure to win and will
give TO Monroe county a black eye
