YANKEES BURY
AS FOR SERIES
Selkirk Injured in Somer-
sault After Diving
Catch of Liner

NEW YORK, July 2.-UP)-
The New York Yankees buried
the Philadelphia Athletics, 1871,
yesterday TO sweep the three-tilt
series and maintain their four
game leadership of the American
league.
Jake Powell hit a homer, two
Dagger and q brace Of singles in
FIVE trips, to pace the YankS' IA
hit attack off Ross Turbeville and
Fink. Joe DiMaggio also hit for
the circuit. The game was maTed
by injury of New York outfielder
George Selkirk who somersaulted
after making a diving catch Of a
low liner. X-rays were to be taken
to determine whether his right
collar-bone was fractured.
The Chicago White SoX follow
ed the pace-setters by giving the
Detroit Tigers 1913 humping.
They collected 20 Safeties, includ-
ing a home run by Hayes, off four
Detroit hurlers. Kennedy was the
winning pitcher, although he was
Knocked from the box with a SIX
run Tiger assault in the seventh.
Until then, Rudy York's homer
was the only score he had allow
ed.
The Boston Red Sox missed a
chance to take second place when
they were beaten 81 by the
Washington Senators. The Sepa-
tors broke a 2-2 deadlock and
scored the winning run IN the
sixth when Travis doubled and
came home on Rick FerrelPS sin
gle. Jimmy DeShOng was the win
ming pitcher, although he gave uD
nine hits, one more than Jack
Wilson who went the route for
Boston. Wilson got two singles,
driving i'm both Boston's tallies.
st. Louis at Cleveland was post
poned because of rain.
CUBS MAKE 1T 3 STRAIGHT
TURNING BACK CARDS
The Chicago Cubs made it three
straight over the st. Louis Cardl-
nails when Bill Lee turned back
the Redbirds, 6-3. He scattered 10
hits, one less than the Cubs col
lcctcd off Winford and Ryba.
The loss dropped the Cardinals
into a third place tie with the
Pittsburgh Pirates, who, with the
Cincinnati Reds, were not Schedul-
ed today.
Wally Berger kept the New
York Giants a half game behind
Chicago when, in ninth-innlng
pinch hitting role, he clouted for
the circuit with two mates aboard
10 defeat the Philadelphia PhillleS,
Sc. Bucky Walters went into the
ninth holding a Go lead. He got
the first two men out, but ott,
who had hit his 18th homer IN
the previous inning, worked base
on balls. Mccarthy followed with
his homer, giving the victory TO
AL Smith who had pitched only
the ninth inning. -,
The Boston Bees stretched their
winning streak to six in a row,
and their third straight over the
Brooklyn Dodgers. Johnny Lam
ming held the Flatbushers to
three hits for Al decision.
When Brooklyn scored in the sew
enth, it was their first tally in 81
innings. A three-run Splurge in
the eighth clinched victory for
Boston. Waite Hoyt went the
route for Brooklyn, giving up but
six hits, to be charged with his
fourth loss of the year.

Rotarians And
Visitors HearOf
Gas Production

The Rotary club Wednesday
heard a talk by Earl M. DeNoon,
manager Of the General Motors
research plant at Coral Gables,
Fla, and a member of the Miami
Rotary club.
Mr.. DeNoon told the club of
the work being done in the labor
atory of the organization, point
ing out that the discovery Of
Ethyl gasoline was made acciden-
tally in the laboratory, and had
resulted in a great plant at Will
mington, where $1,000 pounds Of
bromine were taken from seawa-
ter daily for the manufacture of
this gas.
He also spoke of the work done
in practical testing of materials
in south Florida. The failure Of
finishes is due to ultraviolet light
and due to the high content of
ultraviolet light in the sun.
South Florida is an ideal testing
ground.
He pointed out that Chicago
has $40 hours of ultraviolet per
year, Jacksonville S64, and south
Florida about 100 hours.
Visiting Rotarians attending
the meeting were j. Harry Col
Inns. Miami, NJ. d. Whisnant, Bel
haven, Mel McMullen, Clearwater,
Dwight Nay, Miami, Pat Precott,

an orchestra and I want to know if
/ will ever do so and when should
/ start?
Ans: Right now. You and your
buddy" could organize a small or
chestra of your own and play
around in your community gratis.
This will give you experience as
well as musical training. When you
finish school then go into the pro-
fession from a business angle.
J. w. N.-Please tell me if my
wife is coming back home to me-?
Ans: She's too STUBBORN to
return unless you give her some
encouragement and ask her back.
Disregard your own feelings in the
case and talk it over with her
she is just about as anxious to
come home as you are to have her.
L. RIFF I send for the boy
me as I so hope that he will?
Ans: Heavens, mol. Don't make
yourself look ridiculous to his eyes
for he wouldn't even answer the
love in Tennessee will he come to
letter. Don't you realize that if he
was even fond Of you, he would
make some attempt to get in touch
with you, so give up the idea and
search for a worthy man friend
right here.
B. Jam accusing my man
friend wrong about going out rid
ing?
Ans: You aren't only accusing
him wrong :. but making him lose
interest in you by trying to pin him
down. He doesn't admire jealous
person and you must learn to curb
this trait or you will lose his friend
ship.
J. J. What course of study
would be the best thing for me to
take up this year?
Ans: Choose the course you took
last year and if you feel you aren't
adapted for this work then
TAILORING might appeal to you
better than anything else would
Give it some serious thought before
changing. a.

Pliny's Panther Story

Pliny's story about the panther
was: Philinus, a philosopher, saw
a panther lying in the road, evident
ly waiting for some one to pass.
He tried to go around the animal,
but the panther headed him off,
rolled over on its back to attract
his attention, and showed signs of
grief. When he attempted to draw
away, the animal fixed her claws in
his garment, evidently desiring him
to follow her. When at last he rec
ognized what she wanted he fol
lowed her and she led him to a
pit into which her cubs had fallen.
Moved by pity, he helped the young
ones out, and the happy mother
showed her joy and gratitude by
frisking around him, and by escort
ing him with her cubs trotting after
her, to the edge of the desert.

White Horse of Hanover
Used for Battle Emblem

All cavalry flags are crimson.
says a writer in Pearson's London
Weekly. Dragon guards carry
square standards, dragons pointed
flags called guidons. A white horse
appears on all. 1t is the White
Horse of Hanover, to show that
these regiments saved the Hanover
ian Succession by defeating the Stu
art rebellions in IT'S and 1745.
The first white horse standards
were carried into our country by
the Anglo-Saxon invaders, about 400
years after Christ. A white horse
was their battle emblem.
You can still see it carved in the
Berkshire Downs above Ellington
Vale to mark the site of one OF
their victories over the Danes.
Their principal chieftains called
themselves after it, Hengist (steeO
and Horsa (horse). The Kingdom OF
Hanover covered the land of the
ancient Saxons, 80 their white horse
became the emblem of the Hano-
verian kings.
Lancer and Hussar regiments
have no colors. Their battle honors
are emblazoned on the saddle cloth
instead. They have appeared here,
as on flags, ever since the PENN
sular war. No battle before Minden
Q759) was recorded on them at
first, but the rule relaxed with the
years and battle honors now go back
to the end of the Seventeenth CEN
fury.
The colors have ceased to be car
ried in battle. British regiments
last carried their standards into &C.
ton against the Zulus at Isandhl-
wana in 1879.

L. B. My husband gives me
things to make me happy but he
seems not to be himself lately, espe-
cially around me in the home but is
jolly when he is out among people.
Should / leave him for while or
what is best?
Ans: Stick with him ;. but you
and he should arrange to get out
away from your home more often.
He is fed up on the same old rou-
tine of coming home each evening.
Plan to have dinner downtown a
couple of evenings a week for a
few months and the desired change
will take place in him.
H. v. B.-I have read your col
umn often and want to know if
am going to take the trip am
planning?
Ans: No.. not this year. You
will return to school as usual with
out the vacation that you have
looked forward to taking.
H. o. EDO you think that am
going to succeed in this course am
taking?
Ans: You are but you will have
to keep your nose right to the
"grindstOne" and not let anything
whatever interfere with your
studies for a few more months.
When you feel yourself losing in
terest =. buckle down harder and
force yourself to study.
S. 81 find 1 love another
woman other than my wife. Also
my mother can't live with my wife
and me but if 1 left my wife and
went with this other woman then
my mother could live with US.
Should I do it?
Ans: Don't begin counting these
chickens before they hatch for you
don't know any more about the girl
you are going with than you did
your wife before marrying her. No
one can blame your wife for want
ing to live alone and be head of her

Loud CHIPPING Cricket
Usually Fierce Fighter

Cricket fights appeal to cultured
and wealthy Chinese who often
wager large sums on the outcome
of the insect battles.
Fighting crickets get very special
attention. To make them strong
and sleek, a tasty dish is mixed for
them consisting Of fresh cucumbers,
boiled chestnuts, lotus seeds and
mosquitoes. When the hour Of the
fight approaches, relates writer in
the Detroit News, they are frequent
ly dosed with bouillon tonic con-
cocted from the roots Of exotic
flowers.
The best cricket fighters, accord
ing to Chinese authorities, are the
loudest chirpers. On tiny scales es-
pecially constructed for the pur-
pose, the crickets are frequently
weighed during training. Extremes
in temperature, reputedly bad for
cricket organisms, are carefully
guarded against and the cricket's
minute mustaches, barometer of its
health, are constantly watched for
the least sign of dropping.
No smoke is permitted in the
rooms reserved for cricket fights.
The entrants are deliberately
matched as to weight, size and col
or and then are placed in a large
container with screened sides and
top. Like cocks, crickets almost in
variably fight until one of the con-
testants is dead. Victorious crickets
are carefully guarded and highly
priced. When they, too, eventually
die, they are buried with ceremony
in little silver collins.

Discovered Chromium

The existence Of chromium as an
element was discovered independ-
emily in 1898 by Louis Nicolas Vau-
quelin and Martin Heinrich Klap-
roth. Many years passed, however,
before the free metal was isolated
from its compounds, and even then
it could be produced only in minute
quantities and in an impure state.
1t was not until about 1900 that
chemical technology had advanced
sufficiently to permit the production
of the metal in commercial quanti-
ties.
