suddenly was shattered this morn
ing when the taxi raced to the
entrace and halted with squealing
brakes.
The driver, in shabby clothes,
vaulted from the cab and dashed
into the house. A few minutes
later, the door burst open and
yDung Mcdonnell ran to hiso car,
parked in the yard. He was off a
moment later, with the hickman
in the cab closely following him.
Evidently acting on advance in
formation, police blocked off the
road and refused to let any one
follow the two cars.
From the attitude Of the police
and the family, the message the
taxi driver bore seemed to be the
one from the kidnaperS for which
all had been waiting.
Parsons on Verge Of Tears
Only a few hours previously,
Parsons, on the verge of tears, had
refused to talk about the report
that the kidnaperS had sent an.
other ransom note and pleaded:
"Tm in an awful jam!"
Federal agents discounted the
theory of foul play entertained by
local polile and pressed an eight
State alarm for the kidnaperS,
who seized Mrs. Parsons WedneS-
day and carried her off in their
car after leaving a ransom note
demanding $25, 900.
Mrs. Anna Kupryonova, whose
12-year-old son, Roy, had been
adopted by Mrs. Parsons huS-
band, declared the missing woman
had left her estate, on which she
and her husband raised squads,

In q statement Parsons said:

Lights blazed in the mansion
all night as members Of the house
hold anxiouSly awaited some mes
sage from the kidnapers. Mean.
while, authorities gave out the
official version Of the ransom note.
Text Of Ransom Note
1t read:
will Parsons:
II have your wife for $4,000
ransom. I calculate you could
get that money in "A hours. I
have no place to keep her longer.
Meet in bus terminal in Jamaica

you will go with him. He will
take you to your wife, but mind,
If any cop is aboard you'll pay
for it and she will never speak
again"
Authorities suspected that q
former seaman, probably British,
had a hand in composing the note.
They based this deduction on the
use of the words calculate" and
aboard" both nautical terms,
and the use of the abbreviation
for post meridian before the hour,
an English custom.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
FOLLOWING
THROUGH

This and That
Brooklyn Dodgers have played
great ball lately. Must be because
"BoiIey" Grimes has signed his
contract for next year and the
players want to remain for at
least another season. The way
they shellacked King Carl Hub
bell indicates they still can hit. :.
Major league baseball, jai-alai,
cock fighting and boxing are the
greatest sports of Cuba. The
Baker Chocolate fight of Sept. A
drew 10000 fans. Miami Univer-
sity rates Tampa the toughest
foes of the season. .Medwick has
! not hit a homer at Grosley Field
in Cincinnati although he has hit
several in each of the other
parks. .Brancah Hickey says that
The Dizzy One should rest for at
least a year, and Alan Gould of
The Associated Press claims it is
all ballyhoo. The University of
Florida football eleven, under the
coaching of Josh Cody, will get
somewhere this year. Eight
pitchers in the majors are given
a chance to win 20 or more con-
tests. They arae Ruffing, Law
son, Fette, Hubbell, Warneke,
Wilson, Turner anad Gomez. :.
Grimes salary was increased for
next year. He claims Van Mungo
and Hassett will be in other uni
forms next year. The Yanks
have recalled 10 players. De-
troit purchased Pitcher Davis
from Toronto and the Pirates,
Pitcher Duke from Montreal. :.
University of Florida will play
its first football game of the sea-
son against the strong L. State
u. at Baton Rouge, La. The Uni
versity of Tampa Spartans will
also have a good club and their
first club will be with the strong
South Georgia eleven the first
Monday in October at the new
Phillips Field in Tampa and five
days later they play the West
ern Kentucky Teachers at Bowling
Green, KY. The Stetson Hatters
will play their opening fracas on
October against Florida Gators.
| . .Doubleheaders scheduled for
the month is what is worrying
Bill Terry. The Cubs and the
Pirates still have a chance to
catch up the Giants, although the
Pirates chances are very slim. q.
DiMaggio's 41st homer knocked
the Senators out of the race in
the Americana League. .Cincin-
natl has called Harper and Aleno
from DeLand State League club.
e. Wally Moses may be in the
Yanks' lineup next year and
Lazzeri will be major or a mi
nor league manager. 1t will be
tough the last few days of the
National League race when the
Giants meet the Dodgers and the
Cubs and Cards. Both are trou-
ble-makers and always upset the
dope. In the High School Big
Ten Conference of Florida, there
are four clubs given a chance to
win the title-Clearwater, Fl.
Myers, Winter Haven and Sara
sofa This is the opinion of the
coaches. Last years champions
Sarasota team has lost a dozen
PLAYERS through graduation but
still are threat.

Local Loyal Fans

Local LoyaI ans
Percy Curry is still strong for
the Cubs and believes the Giants
will end up in third place. Ga
briel Cabanas predicts the same
of the Cubs and claims that his
Giants will be far ahead at the
end of the. season. Local fans
are still loyal to their clubs, it
seems. Then there is Old Bye
at the post office who believes
that the Pirates are the best club
in the National League. OF
course. Baezza is as rabid a Yam
kee fan as ever. Curly and Win
field want to know if the Sena-
tors still have a chance to cop
the flag. Bobby is still loyal to
the Cubs and Yanks. Who wouldn't
be?. Big Phillips continues to
follow the Athletics and Connie
Mack. A true fan. Stag was, is
and always viii be a Giant root
or. Henry claims he will stick
to the Cubs to the end. .Richi
is a great fan but will not say
who he is pulling for. Dough
nuts is still backing the Tigers
and Cards. He is like the Loop
ard; he doesn't change his spots.
