than there is in Massachusetts,. The
State went for Roosevelt four years
ago by $4,000, large lead when the
size of the total vote is considered.
Long ago it was said that the
Democratic high command had come
to the conclusion that little could be
done with the New England States
this year. OF Course, the Democratic
leaders denied fatty that such was
the case. But they also pointed out
that in 1882 Roosevelt had carried
only two Of the six New England
States, and that they would not lose
so much if the whole group went Re-
publican. New England States have
total of 80 electoral votes.
Massachusetts,, Maine, Vermont and
Rhode Island look Republican. Both
Connecticut and New Hampshire
voted for Hoover in 1882, although by
narrow margins. If the swing is
really on in New England, as seems
to be the case, both those States
should be in the Republican column
in November. The Democrats in New
Hampshire are claiming the State,
but they have strong opposition in

lican candidate for Vice President,

The plane was destroyed by FIRE,

The plane seemed to develop motor
trouble as it swung over the beach
on the north shore of the sound
Suddenly a burst of flames enveloped
the planes motor. The pilot circled
about looking for place to land
but apparently found no other open
stretch but the Ferris Point beach.
Flames spread back toward the
occupants of the ship as it swooped
into a group of eight picnickers
bowling them over like ten pins. 1t
came to a stop, the killed and in
jured under it, and the two occupants
jumped out just before flames swept
over the entire machine.
William MoskowitZ, in another

flames bursting out from the motor
when the plane was about 200 feet
overhead He dashed over and helped
the occupants of the plane drag the

GENTLEMAN

Due to a combination of unforeseen
circumstance it became his duty
as he saw it, to keep, alone, a si1{
month vigil for meteorological
observation at the worlds south
ernmost outpost. Before the mid
die of the long Antarctic night he
was stricken desperately i'll from
the poisonous fumes of faulty
oil stove. Survival seemed impos-
sible. He deliberately chose to die
rather than tap out an SOS. on
his radio. In fact, he further
squandered his strength and les
sened his chance for survival by
painfully hand-cranking his radio
to keep his schedule and report
"All's Well" to Little America,
lest his silence cause his COM
rades to risk their lives coming
to his rescue in the darkness. For
months Of the bitterest cold ever
endured he hung precariously on
the edge of the abyss. Untold suf{
fering did not compel him to alter
his decision. By Q miracle he vaq

A Little l15.Pounder, Ted,
Made 243 Hits in a Season

Want to know the man who
achieved it as well as 243 hits, a
record toward which not even the
giant Hank Greenberg may aspire?
No, I am not trying to kid you.
That pale little fellow with the thin
cheeks and the angular elbows fold
ed across a narrow chest is not the
bat boy. This is on the Level, Ted,
no matter what the boys at school
may have told you. What? How
could such a half pint rise to the
heights when strapping pitchers
and burly, far-ranging inielders
rallied to defend against him?
Let III, still ina ginning that we are
back in the nineties, ask him. See
how he gazes steadily at us while
knobby chin ceases moving and a
wad of chewing gum gets a mo-
ment's rest. Listen.
"That's easy" Wee Willie Kee-
Ter is saying. 81 just hit 'em where
they Amt"
Translated into more elegant
terms, Ted, this atom of man.
scarcely bigger then than you are
now, has explained the superiority
of mind over matter.
Along with John McGraw, anoth-
er great little guy, Wee Willie
changed the trend Of the game,
caused rules to be revised. Their
ability to tap the ball out of reach
of the fielders brought science into
a sport that had subsisted on force.
They proved the worth of the bunt,
the sacrifice, the hit-and-run play.
When they joined the immortal
old Orioles they were such scrawny
little guys that other players
laughed and said they should not be
permitted to do anything more
strenuous than carry bats. They
fought with frantic muscles, fiery
tongues and quick brains. They
never ceased trying, learning. Be-
fore long the fans were fighting to
get into the parks to see them. For
more than thirty years after that
the greater little guy, McGraw, was
IN continue as one of the biggest
men in the history of the game.
OF course, that was long ago,
Ted. but the boys at school tell
vou that similar things no longer
can happen. Instead, when you re-
Jurn in the fall ask them about lit
Ia Riu Johnston or Cyril Walker.
When muscle instead of heart was
measured they were very little
guvs. but they won against giants in
he biggest of big-time competition.
