Scott is borrowing from the
school Of the old master, Bob Fitz.

cap Of q short bout. Scott prefers
ten rounds or more, but permitted
himself to be talked into an eight
round battle. He will warm up be-
fore the fight, going five rounds
Of shadow boxing. BY doing this he
will enter the ring all warmed up
and ready to spring on Dunn from

BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
Although Joe DiNGaggio romped
off with home run hitting laurels
in the American League last sum-
mer, walloping 46 drives over the
barriers and into the remote COR
ners, Lou Gehrig and Jimmy Foxx
added to their laurels as sluggers,
according to official records re-
leased today by President Will
Harridge. Gehrig hit 81 homers
and Foxx cracked 80.
It was the tenth season in which
"Larrupin' Lou made more than
80 circuit drives and the ninth
season in which Foxx bettered
that performance. ,..l.
SLIGHT INCREASE
There was a slight increase In
the number Of. sluggers il the
American League last season. In
1886 only nine men were able to
clear the testing standard of hit
ting 20 home runs. Last season Q
dozen men bettered that mark.
Joe DiMaggio of the Yankees
hit 46, Hank Greenberg Of the
Tigers hit 40, Gehrig Of the Yam
KEGS 81; Foxx of the Red Sox, 36;
York of the Tigers, 35; Trosky Of
the Indians, 80; Cliff Of the
Browns. 20; Dickey. Of the YAM
KEGS, 90; Moses and Bob John
son of the Athletics, IS: Averill
and Solters of the Indians, 81.
Moses, York and SolterS were
newcomers in the select circle,
and of the trio, York was most sen.
sational. In making his climb to
the upper brackets, York broke
the world record for home runs
hit in q single month. He hit
1S flomers in August, beating the
mark of II set by Babe Ruth Of
the Yankees in 1925.
George Selkirk and Zeke Bonura,
both out Of action with injuries,
almost made the mark. Bonura
hit 10 homerS and Selkirk got 1S.
Gerry Walker, just traded to the
Chicago White SoX got 18 homers.
KNOTT, COUSIN
Jack Knott was the Great
American Cousin to the league.
Fifteen of the boys nailed him for
home runs.
Next was Oral Hildebrand, Of
the st. Louis Browns who was
clipped for a dozen circuit
smaShes. Thornton Lee and Ted
Lyons of the White Sox pitched
II home run balls apiece, while
Buck Newsorn, the repatriated
Brown. was nicked for 10 homers.
DiMaggio's cousins were Knott.

beating taken at the opening Of
football season.
The Clippers, a protege of one
Of the du Points, defeated the

Wesleyan, are both great ends for
Snagging passes. Peterson played
professional football with the
Washington Redskins.
With Coach Gene Augusterfer's
highly developed aerial offensive
tuned to top notch form, passes
are expected to be flying thick ard
fast from Flinging Bill Adamaitis,
ace pasSer of the Dixie League.
Bob Makofske, Tom Oliver and

THE FRIGHT WORK

AS The New York Times pertinently
argument in defense of the legality of the
sit down strike is that employees have a
vested property right in their jobs.
The fact of the matter is, The Times
says, that the right to job does not
mean the right" to prticular job but the
right to work and earn living.
Suppose a worker turns out to be UNI
fitted for the task in hand, through no
fault of his own, but simply because he is
not qualified by temperament or by train
ing or by ability for this kind of work, F"
The Times continues.
Cor suppose that he turns out to be
lazy, Incorporate, or insubordinate? Can
it be seriously argued that anything but
chaos would result if, in either of these
circumstances, the worker had property
right to this particular job, and that the
management ought to have no power to
replace him with better man? What
price would the consumer pay for his goods
under such a regime? How long could
any industry keep going?"
In some establishments, it is impos-
sible for an employer to fire an employee
for incompetence without strike on his
hands. The unions insist the employee has
a property right" in his job.
Carried to its logical conclusion, that
would mean that employees also have a
property right in the thing that supplied
their job-namely, the firm They would,
therefore, be on an equal footing with in
vestors.
Does the hired man who chops weeds
for the farmer own the hoe he uses? Does
the maid have property right in the
washing machine she runs for her mis-
tress? Does the stenographer own the
typewriter her boss furnishes?
Those last questions seem silly, but
are they any sillier than the argument that
factory employee owns the job in which
he works and therefore part of the fac
tory?

GETTING THE HOME TOWN DOLLAR

The trading at home fever breaks out
time and again in every town and city. It
has done 50 repeatedly in Key West, and
unless all signs fail will do SO in the
future.
No one is more interested in support
ing home industries and businesses than
The Citizen and so, we wonder, just why
the many previous campaigns have failed
to produce lasting impressions and per-
manent effect. Why the necessity for the
revival of the campaign so often?
Merchants, interested in winning the
home town dollar, might ponder the query.
Buyers, as any one admits. seek bargains.
They will go to the places where they think
that they can get the most for their money
Does the home merchant always bear this
in mind? Does he not, sometimes, expect
to get the home town dollar without de-
serving it?
We can hear at once, as some local
merchants read this far, the snort of
superiority, as the thought goes down that
The Citizen is eriticising the local mer-
chants. Well, boys, to be honest, some OF
you need just a bit of reform. Some of
you have been careless in the appearance
of your store, backward in the display Of
your goods and chary about extending
courteous, prompt and dependable service
to back up what you sell.
We have of course, exemplary local
merchants. They are the pace settlers.
Others, who are tempted to complain of
the mail order businesses and the chain
stores, might cast their eyes around the
community and see what the successful IN
dependents are doing, and figure out for
themselves why they seem to get along in
the face of modern competition.
The answer is not so hard to find
These alert, local merchants are on their
toes, know their business, manage it them
selves, serve the public and give more for
the money than their competitors They
are pleasing their public through personal
service, and the people go back for more
1t is the only way to get, or to keep, BUSH
ness. OF course, you will find that most of
them are believers in advertising, recogniz-
ing its service to modern merchandising.
There is no reason that we know of
why local merchant can't meet competi-
ton. He can do it, if he will. If he does
he will get the vast majority of the home
town dollars.

United States to devaluate the gold
dollar, or to have overdevaluated it,
as it apparently did, but once cur
rency has been devalued certain read
justments take place which make
further manipulation unwise. For m
stance, devaluation changes the pari-
ties in foreign exchange, and requires
the adjustment of foreign exchange
transactions to these new PARTIES. The
prices Of all commodities entering
foreign trade tended to become adj
justed TO these new PARTIES which we
lifted SO per cent when we reduced
the weight of the dollar to 59.06 per
cent of its former weight. The effects
of these changes, which reveal them
selves clearly in international trans
actions, tend to be reflected in some
unpredictable, uncertain, and immea-
surable degree in the average of do
mestic prices, so that the adjustments
become rather far-reaching.
Over three years have elapsed since
we devaluated our gold dollar by Al
per cent, and the adjustments to this
change have long since been made.
Most of them contributed to higher
prices. But, in addition, we have had
at work other forces contributing to
higher prices, probabl the chief of
which has been the imitation Of the
currency. This has grown chiefly out
of the tremendous expansion of bank
deposits against the deficit of the Fed
eral government. Other factors con-
tributing to rising prices have been
the heavy influx of gold, due partly
to the excessive devaluation of the
dollar, and the otherwise normal ex-
pansion Of business characteristic Of
general recovery.
With this upward swing has come
fear of a runaway rise in prices and
currency expansion. Chairman Eccles
suggested that lowering the price of
gold !. might offer means of check
ing excessive expansion at home"
Were his suggestion followed. the
various adjustments that have been
made would have to be made over
again. Our foreign exchange PARTIES
would be reduced, the prices of the
staples entering foreign trade would
decline, and various other downward
establishments would have to be made.
And for what useful purpose? None.
Such a change would merely require
new adjustments at the time business
