Musical Comedy Soldier

Thereafter he began deliberately to ruin his most difficult juggling feats, missing them in exchange for laughs. With each new laugh, his salary jumped. He became 8 head line funnyman in vaudeville.
 Climaxing his triumphs came a contract with Broadway musical comedy; Savo had arrived. After two weeks of rehearsals 8 man knocked at his dressing room and handed him an official-looking letter. The Army of the United States had decided it wanted MT. Savo to help win war.
 In uniforms four sizes too large for him, he clowned through his service. Once he was put in charge of eight prisoners and told to take them out and chop wood. Jimmy had 8 gun, which he wouldn't have discharged for anything-and the prisoners all had axes!
 So Savo bought them chocolate bars and kept them happy with jug gling tricks. Brought them back all right. .

WELL AHEAD WITH

Front ONCE Taking Or

by HENRY SUPER

Omitted Press Stan Correspondent
New York, Aug. 29--(UP)-
Those rough-house st. Louis Car
dinals are counting the baseball
fates, and what's more they're get
ting away with 1t.
Refusing to take q tip from
other teams who met disaster by
flirting with the diamond gods be-
fore a pennant was won, the Car.
dinals already have started making
world series preparations.
The confidence involved in such
move is no better illustrated than
by comparing the Cards with the
conservative Detroit Tigers in the
American league. The Tigers SIT
atop the circuit nine games ahead
of the New York Yankees, vet
President Frank Navin refuses to
talk about the title series.
when the Tigers clinch the
pennant then we'll talk world SER
les" he says.
The Cardinals took the National
league lead from the New York
Giants on Sunday. Tuesday the
front office sent out q circular to
fans entitled Important notice
concerning world series tickets"
This affront to the wall-eyed
gods of baseball came when the
Cardinals led the league by only
half q game. Today they lead by
IN games and are putting on a
drive reminiscent OF that q year
ago when they captured the PEN
nant from the Giants in the last
days of the campaign.
The Giants started world series
preparations back on July 10 when
they led the league by TN games.
A few days after It became known
that the runway behind home plate
was being altered with world series
traffic in mind the Giants hit their
slump and they still are skidding.
Yesterday they dropped a double
decision to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
81 and 9-5, while the Cards halted
Philadelphia, 81 and 1876. The
Chicago Cubs drew to within half
q game Of the Giants by splitting
with Boston. The Braves won the
first game, al, and Chicago the
second, So. Brooklyn's Dodgers
defeated Cincinnati, Az.
In the American league the De-
troit Tigers had their lead cut half
q game to nine games as the Sec
ond place New York Yankees took
double header from Chicago,
9-1 and So. The Tigers walloped
Philadelphia, ITO. The Cleveland
Indians frightened their hold on
third place by defeating Boston,
30 and al. Washington and st.
Louis split, Washington winning
the first, 1912, and losing the
second, 2-1.
