i days big league records with
few exceptions. Cleveland and
the Athletics didn't get much in the
hurting line. as the Indians hammered
out an 1l-to-7 triumph with the aid
of two important homers by Hal
Trosky.
In the National League st. Louis
and Boston shelled each others hurl-
ing for total Of "a blows, including
three Cardinal homers, a triple and
10 doubles. The Cards came out with
a 1873 decision. although they were
outhit 1916. The Cubs also took the
home run route to victory in a free
swinging contest, beating the Phillies,
Ga, as circuit swats by Chuck Klein,
Don Hurst and Babe Herman pro-
duced all the Chicago runs. Kleins
homer was his sixteenth of the season
But Hal Schumacher turned in
four-hit game, beating the Reds, 3
to 0, to keep the Giants on top of
the National; Monte Weaver of Wash
ington granted the same number of
blows in defeating the White Sox, 5

Fake" Oil Show
Petroleum Exposition Will
Offer Fire-Fighting Act
in Oklahoma.

TULSA, Okla, April 81 (P).-Men in
greasy overalls are working around a
derrick, completing an oil well in
new flush" field.
Suddenly flames burst forth, roaring
up 100 feet or more and whitening the
derrick with their deadly heat. It's
the most spectacular of oil field opera
tionS-a blazing gusher.
That's the scene to be faxed" at
the eighth international petroleum ex-
position here May IL to 10, and it will
set the stage for Myron M. Kinley to
show his fire-fighting prowess.
Kinley, who has extinguished the
hottest field fires in various oll-pro-
ducing countries, will climb into his
asbestos clothing and advance on the
monster blow torch.
An airplane propeller will blow the
flames away from him. Water from
fire hose will play on him as he nears
the core of the blaze to clear away
debris with his graphing hooks.
The climax of the oil field drama
comes when Kinley plants charge of
high explosive near the well. Its ex-
plosion creates a temporary vacuum,
literally blowing out" the fire.
That, at least, is the way Kinley's
act is scheduled to come off as the
oil world celebrates the diamond an

FLORIDA TOURISTS
ROUT DEPRESSION
Influx of Visitors Greatest
Since Realty Boom,
Ending in 1926.

MIAMI, Fla, April 81 CP.-Tourists
turned depresSion's tide in Florida re-
sorts this Winter.
Not since the real estate boom ended
in 1926, records show. has the State in
general and Miami in particular re-
ceived such an influx of Winter visi-
tors as during the season just closing.
Every State in the Union was rep
resented at the various resort centers
and many came from foreign coun-
tries.
j. B. Sullivan, State hotel commits
sioner, estimated there were 1,500. 900
visitors in the State when the season
was at its height and that they would
spend $500 100000 during the season.
Sullivan predicted next season would
be even bigger and better"
Prosperity Is Moving.
"All of the big Winter season hotels
and the seasonal apartment houses"
he said, "are making plans for next
Winter, and many of them probably
will advance their opening dates"
Real estate dealers, who had been
engulfed in financial doldrums, re-
ported this Winter the first siZable
movement of property in eight years.
Prices ranged moderately upward,
while the volume generally increased
considerably.
Hotels here were filled to capacity
and many had to turn prospective
guests away. Apartment houses and
private homes absorbed the balance.
Streets were packed with pedes-
trians and motorists, taxing traffic
facilities. Flagler street, one of the
principal downtown thoroughfares
here, resembled Times Square on a
busy Saturday.
The dinner hour found crowds lined
up half a block in front of the more
popular cafes and restaurants wait
ing for tables, while hotel dining
rooms were filled to capacity.
Legalized wagering at three horse
tracks and seven dog racing plants in
the State helped lure the sporting
crowd.
The Florida Racing Commission re-
ported more than 100000 persons
paid admission to the various tracks
and backed their judgment on horses
and dogs to an excess of SGT 100000 in
pari-mutuel bets. OF that amount
the State government pocketed more
than $1000,000 in taxes.
Two world championship ring bat
ties, the first to be held in Florida in
40 years, provided additional attrac-
tions for sport fans.

Dwight Griswold of Gordon, Ted Met

Oddly enough the longest and most
colorful annual observance of the VIC
tory at San Jacinto, near Houston, on
April 81, 1886, is held where a Texas
force was annihilated. Interest In the
celebration was heightened this year
by discussion of plans for a Texas

When the observance was started in
1891 the parade was line of high

day celebration until 1900, it was
changed that year into a week-long
carnival.
The brilliant ball in honor Of the
Queen of the Fiesta and her court is
one of the outstanding social events of
the year in Texas. In addition to
the San Antonio debutante group

Miss Sanger Ending
Long Service Is
Fine Artist

Girls, take it from Alice B.
Sanger-pick a hobby now and
don't be too serious about your
work.
The fact that she developed
latent talents is the saving Of
her life now, says Miss Sanger,
who today retires after As years
Government service. Despite the
crowded hours Of her service Miss
Sanger managed to find time
to paint-to such an extent, in
fact that today she is an accom-
plished artist.
Flags, Her Idea
So, at the end of the 45-year-
old trail, Miss Sanger finds leis-
ure to pursue her hobby, instead
of boredom.
This morning Postmaster Cen
eral James A. Farley presented
her with a testimonial on behalf
of the Postoffice employees where
Miss Sanger has worked for more
than 40 years.
It was she who many years
ago thought the Nations Capital
should have flags if all the States
in the Union, and without aid
collected the banners which are
now seen in the Postoffice build
ing. She repaired them when
tattered and often, after working
hours, she took the soiled flags
home to wash them.
Came with Harrison
Miss Sanger bears the distinc-
ton of being the first woman
ever to have worked in the White
House. She came here with
President Benjamin Harrison in
1889. She said today:
'The White House was much
different then. The President
