ming 26 and losing % for a per-
centage Of .53l.
BY the figures 1t Is shown that
the Cards won 6 games more than
the Giants and lost games fewer,
and as they stand now, have lost
one game less for the season than
New York.
Mark of 900
If the Cards win, and their vic
tory now seems inevitable, it will
make 6 victories in 10 playing
seasons, a pennant percentage OF
500 for 10 years.
They won the world series in
1925; were slaughtered by the
Yankees in 1928; bowed to the
Athletics in 80, won in in 1881
and beat the Tigers in 1884. All
of these pennants and three
world series triumphs in this
span of years bespeaks the man
power of the Cards.
With the tremendous resources
at their command, they reach into
one of the minor league clubs and
take out man to till any gaps
Occasionally they buy. as in the
case of Durocher, but that ex
ception stresses the rule.
They need an outfielder, for ex
ample, and up bobs Duckie Med
wick to become a sensation. Is
Bottomly slipping? Well, then
we'll just put James "Ripper" Col
lins on first. Jerome Dean, Paul
Dean, Whitehead, Pepper Martin
they were all ready, planned and
finished products of the Cardinals
mills when they arrived in St
Louis.
Maybe one man at a time, but
a good man when needed. That
has been Cardinal history since
the Hickey chain machine stopped
clanking and started purring.
Now the Cards seem to be
headed for another pennant and
another world series. The RickeJ
headache, as they laughingly
called this st. Louis chain opera
tion, has suddenly blosSomet
forth into the menace of the Ma
tional League.
Griffs Lose Two
Our bold and brave athletes
went forth to battle in a double
with the amazing Browns ant
this morning are only thre'
games away from the cellar OF
the lost side. The Browns hav'
done better than 500 ball sine
July 10. To be exact they wor
"a games and lost % since Jul!
10, while the Griffs, sad to relate
have won just 20 games ant
lost 27, an average of just eX
actly .426.
The story of yesterday toll
briefly is a tale Of a rally tina
fell short in the first game, tn
battle ending with the tying rul
on third base, and a misplay b.
a rookie who just didn't thin
in the major league way.
The Griffs might have wo
that first game If Dee Miles ha
kept his head working.
He was on second in the mint,
inning with Powell On first bas:
Kuhel hit a terrific wallop whicI
West caught against the cente
field fence.
Miles, instead Of tagging W
went halfway to third. When tn
ball was caught he had to retur
to second base, and, of cours'
Powell had to stay anchored Of
first base. If he had tagged, the
both might have advanced; ce
tainly Miles could have wake
to third. Then came q hit, an
only one run scored when tw
| might have counted.

pion of the Garrett Waters
world, as he stepped off the train.
Louis major thought was his
coming fight with Max Baer,
former champ, at the Yankee
Stadium next month. He was a
little less close-lipped in this in
stance, maybe because he was
both pleased and excited over the
ovation his Elks' friends had ar
ranged for him for this arrival.
He drawled:
"It's just another fight fO' me.
And / think / can beat Max.
In fact, I'm going to knock him
Out!"
More words were impossible at
this point as wide-eyed, smiling
Elks crowded around their idol to
shake his hand, pat him on the
back, or offer words Of greeting.
j. Finley Wilson, Grand Ex-
alted Ruler of the Colored ElkS
was there. John G. Rhines, ath-
letic director of the Elks was
there, John Mccarthy, president
of the Lincoln Athletic Club was
there. And least, but not least
was Bill Robinson, truly the
greatest tap dancer in the world.
It was Bill who finally got
Louis away from the crowd for
another brief interview. Said
Bill:
Hell be at training camp
in another two or three days.
And then we'll see him max.
ing final licks for the big
fight"
Louis added in the same char
acteristic drawl Of his first ut
terances:
"Yes sab, I'm anxious to get
to work and will be glad to
feel the gloves again."
The Levinsky fight? That was
nothing at all. Levinsky looked
as if he was scared. He wished
all of his fights could be as easy as
that one.
Again that terrific crowd. Stand
aside Tor q picture, please. 4HdU 5
right. Now, one more pose. And
how about a smile?
There was none.
But there was plenty Of smiles
everywhere else. The folks just
couldn't help themselves. For
here was their tin god-in the
flesh-walking and talking and
appearing like the boxing champ
they pray he will be between now
and the hour he has had a
chance to face both Max Baer and
Jimmy Braddock.
Speaking of everybody" this
takes in the Red Hats" who quit
work in a body-it appeared that
way at least-to walk through the
station. All of 'em would have
liked to carry Louis bags. But
when one got the job. the others
couldn't resist the desire to follow
in escort.

natural demise.
The fanciful offer, to assume
the controls of the rBaves and
provide a fund on which an
experimental flight would be
made until it could be deter
mined If the club could be made
to function under its own mo-
mentum, presents flaws to the
minds Of those who must solve
the clubs difficulties imme-
diately.
No Money Changes
AS the plan is generally un'
derstood, the Braves were to be
taken over by the new group
effective with the coming
spring. No money was to be
paid over until a reasonable
time had established the future
possibilities Of the team in new
hands.
Then, at an agreed time, pop
ularly supposed to be around
July 4, next year, the new
regime is supposed to exercise
its option to complete the pur-
chase, or else turn the club back
to the present note-holders, etc.
The feeling among the latter
seems to be that there would be
nothing to keep the proposed
syndicate from making itself a
tidy sum up to July 4th or so
long as the Braves found them
selves able to keep from sinking
to the cellar and otherwise do
ing a fair business both at home
and on the road.
No Law Agin' It
Neither would there be any.
thing to keep the syndicate,
when it saw the Braves sinking
into their natural baseball
strata, after a brief early sea-
son of financial success, from
turning the club back to the
current ownership as a patient
that would never get quite well.
even though it might annually
enjoy good spring health be-
fore the summer depression
overlook the victim.
Certainly such a maneuver
could be made without violat-
ing the laws of sharp practice
were the Braves to blossom
forth next spring as trial horses
for a group of men who believe
they can succeed where base
ball experts have failed.
After making some money,
they would be quite justified in
getting out before their profits
were eaten up; an inevitable
consequence.
Such thoughts are said to be
running rampant in the minds
of those who will ultimately
have to make a decision about
the Braves, and forebodings Of
the type described are right
now haunting the sleep of the
gentlemen over to whom Judge
Emil Fuchs recently turned the
defunct Braves.

MOUNT VESUVIUS
 NEAR ERUPTION

Naples, Nov. 9-(UP)-Four new Assures in Mt. Vesuvius emitted thick streams of lava, smoke and heavy sulphur fumes today after an eruption late last night.
 The eruptive cone of the great volcano, inside the crater, explod- ed last night over a 60 foot line and four Assures formed at the base of the cone.
 All through the night and this morning, the Assures emitted their lava in thick streams, so far within the crater, and the volcano rumbled menacingly.
 The flow of lava seemed to be subsiding this afternoon, and authorities hoped that the weather would permit week end visits to the outer fringes of the crater to view the red-gold rivulets.
 Villagers, accustomed to the spec tacle, were calm and even indiffer- ent.

Governor Ignored
 Choice Of Leaders
Appointment of New City Court Judge in New London
 Considered "Slight" to Committee

ganization, the democrats of New London, led by Secretary of State Dr. c. John Satti, are up in arms. The vacancy on the city court bench occurred almost two weeks ago when Judge Daniel M. Cronin died.
 Chairman Smith admitted that he wrote to Governor Cross endors- ing Attorney Sullivan. The New London democrats allege that Gov ernor Cross was influenced" in his selection of Attorney Belcher by Colonel Allen Lambdin. The latter is a member of the governors mili- tary staff.
 AS a result of the slight shown the New London town committee open threats are being made right and left that the governor will hear more Of this" at the state con- vention next fall when the time for picking a gubernatorial candidate arrives.
