THOMAS CLUB IN FINAL TUNE-UP AT NEW MILFORD
Baseball Battle of Cham piOns Set for Sunday
 Out of Town

The "color" game of the season for the Tommies, city champions, with the possible exception of their series with the Sacred Hearts, will take place Sunday afternoon at New Milford, when they will oppose the New Milford team of the West ern Connecticut league, the undis- puted champions of both halves of the schedule.
 That there is plenty of rivalry between these two teams is attested to by the fact that Jack Goodman, the manager of the New Milford team made a special trip to Water bury, with his advisory staff last night to place a large wager, that the New Milford team would easily defeat the Tommies in this game. The agreement was made and g game of champions" will be the result.
 Promising
 The upstate team boasts of an impressive lineup, and their record of only one defeat all season in the league speaks well for their prowess, but when they oppose the Water bury entrant, for the National Tournament, they vii lmeet the scrappiest team that they have so far this season, and 1t Is the thought that the Tommies, now right in their best form, ready for the tournament, will defeat and blemish the fine record of the New Milford team.
 There is a lot of discussion, as to the relative strength of the various leagues, and this game will 90 a long way to settle that question, the Tommies, have shown that they are the equal of any of the teams of the State Semi-Pro League and now will cross bats with another of the representative teams of the state.
 The New Milford team boasts an impressive lineup, which by the way also features three Waterbury fav- orites, here Is the way that the home team will lineup Sunday to oppose the Tommies:
 J. Gill, s.s.; B. Travaglia, c.f.,; B. Yoska, 3b.; A. Martino, Lf.; R. flag strom, If; M. Plistka, 2b.; G. Solo, kas, C.; J. Duda, h.; J. Strokalitis, D.; J. Kwasniewski, D.; Dr. Ignace, T. f.. s. Collins, 3b.; A. Kwanesewki, If.
 StandOut
 Travaglina, known as the Hawk" in centerfleld, has not had one single error credited to him during the league season and during the same time he has a batting average of over 500.
 Indications point to a record crowd at this game, as all of New Milford, will have the checks down on their team and the Tolnmies, on a winning streak that has in cluded some of the best travelling teams on the road, will be right at top peek, this is their last game any, where before leaving for Dayton, they will leave on Thursday, Sep tember g. on 8 special car, which wil 1take them direct to Dayton, ar- irving there on the morning of the 10th at 7:23 a. n., they will then adjourn t otheir hotel, rest and at 3 p. m. arrangements have been made for their use O. g field to linn Der up.
 The Tommies, who will leave will be the absolute strongest team that has ever left the Brass City, as records and past performances will reveal, and stand a very good chance of bringing the national title back to the Brass City,.

A GUARDED PROPOSAL

Lorenzo Dow, an American evange-
list who went to Ireland in 1899 to en-
deavor to convert the Catholics of that
country to Professionalism, was bold spirit
in many respects, but it appears that he
was extremely cautious in matters in which
women were concerned
His tentative proposal of marriage,
written to young woman of his ac-
quaintance, is a masterpiece of con-
servatism. He wrote as follows:
IF am preserved, about year and
a half from now / am in hopes of seeings
this northern country again; and if during
that time you live and remain single, and
find no one that you like better than you
do me, and would be willing to give me up
three years out of every four for travel in
foreign lands (for if you should stand in
the way | would pray God to remove you,
which | believe He would answer) and if
find no one / like better than / do you,
perhaps something further may be said
upon the subject es1di too

GUARD AGAINST ENVY

Nothing kills town or city quicker
than spirit of envy, regardless of how it
works. AS long as the people of a COM
munity are striving to keep ahead of
others, with no other goal in view, then
that long will the settlement remain hick
village, even if it has people by the thou
sands
Fortunately Key West is singularly
free from an excess of mean-spirited envy,
the low-down spite of narrow-minded
souls. Once in while one runs across
petty exhibition of disgusting selfishness,
expressing its discomfort by striking at
neighbor or at home. Luckily, most of the
time, our people are broad-minded,' liberal
and unselfish
1t will do us no harm, however, as
citizens of Key West to guard against this
insidious poison that saps community
goodwill Let US be sure that we hail the
good fortune of our friends, that we strive
for the common betterment of our citizen
ship and that, whatever we may have, or
be, that we are not embittered by our
failure, or another's success.

Echoes of the Mexican revolt of
1928, which caused portions of
the land of Mexico to welter in
blood, were heapl in circuit court
here today. The Mexican govern
ment is sueing Ruben Vizcarra,
one of the leaders of the revolt
for an automobile, now almost
five years old. But the car is
only a pretext, attorneys for Viz
cara say. 1t is Vizcarra himself
that the Mexican government
wants, they declare. There is a
vacant spot in a brick wall in
Mexico City, against which the
government would like to stand
the one time government official
with firing squad in front, the
lawyers believe. The car was at
tached while in Key West in tran
sit to Havana from Miami in
1928. Documents AMI testimony
showed that Vizcarra bought the
car at San Antonio in that year.
His brother stated they used the
ear in Mexico a while and then
drove to Miami.

Yet. If is very strange to notice how
many prominent firms have been rebuked

market declined precipitately during
September.
What are we to think? More lnpor-
tant still, how should business men
act? Undoubtedly the situation is con-
fusing but it is well to remember that
several bullish factors are still pres
ent. They may be offset by bearish
factors that should not be overlooked.
One OF these is tina! as yet the budget
OF the federal government is not bal
anced: We have plenty of promises
and unquestionably basic intentions
in many quarters are good. But the
balance has not been reached and
probably will not be attained in the
very near future.
Another factor is the attitude of the
federal reserve authorities and the
Treasury Department. Last winter
their influence was directed toward
checking an upward movement that
had gone too far and ton fast. Now
they are alarmed over business I'M
certainty and in various ways are en-
deavoring TO apply sti.aulants Low
cred rediScount rates. the announce
ment of intended government bond
purchases by the reserve banks and
liberalized regulations all indicate
their anxiety and desire to stimu
late business. OF course. it is easy .
suggest that the weakness of the gov
eminent bond market is an important
consideration.
What should we conclude? Dog
matism is certainly out of place. One
investment service very properly
points out that we are dealing with a
new factor in business or rather one
which has recently increased greatly
in importance. It is .the attempt of
government authorities to manage
money" How fully they can do SO is
not yet clear but it ismore than prob
able that they will be more success
full in raising prices than in lowering
them. At present. we are in a period
of uncertainty and hesitation. Some
even call it ''jittery" AS yet there is
no reason for calling II anything
more. Some of the uncertainties will
be cleared away. Then the more basic
influences viii show their force and
they are in the direction of an adj
vance rather than a recession.

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here just Ten Years Ago Today As Taken
From The Files OF The Citizen

The hull of one of the ferries
which the county has bought for
the Overseas Highway has already
been laid and another will be
started Monday, possibly two keels
will be laid that day. This was
brought to light yesterday when
the county commissioners met to
formally sign the contract for the
three ferries which are to span
the big water gap in the Overseas
Highway. In giving out this in
formation President George Gibbs,
of the Gibbs Gas Engine Co., of
Jacksonville, which is building
the boats, stated that he has high
hopes of delivering one of the
ferries in As days, and possibly
two of them will be ready for de-
livery by that time, instead of the
so days specified in the contract.
In addition to the plans for de-
livering the vessels within the
space of the time required, per-
haps sooner, Mr.. Gibbs said that
there is every reason to believe
that a speed of IL miles an hour
viii be attained instead of the
specified 10 miles. His entire
organization lis going ahead with
this object in view he said, and
recent developments led his en-
gfneers to believe that speed win
