BEST PITCHING

Another surprising feature is
that although the Yanks were pop
ularly supposed TO be strictly q
slugging 6 outfit, overwhelming
their rivals on sheer power, they
actually must have had the best
pitching in the league, for fewer
runs were scored against them
than against any other team. Op-
ponents made only about four
runs a game against the Yanks,
whereas they made a little more
than five a game against the
Tigers. This would seem to prove
that Mickey Cochrane knew what
he was doing when he made that
deal with the White Sox for
Vernon Kennedy.
We will be second to none in
shouting the praises Of Gehringer
as the perfect ball player and we
have every admiration for DiMag-
gio's as home rUnS-a remarkable
feat for right-hand hitter. But
what intrigues us most is the new

also drove in 159 runs for the
seventh season, thus supplantine
Babe Ruth's record of driving in

But this Is by no means all
Iarruping Lou did. He broke a tie
with AL Simmons and Goose Cos
lin by batting in 100 or more runs
for IL straight years. He also
made 200 hits for the eighth
straight time, leaving him only
one year behind Ty Cobb, who
turned the trick in nine seasons.
He got 1877 passes, making the
tenth year he has drawn more
than 100 free tickets. And by
hitting 81 homers, he boosted his
lifetime total to 465. It was the
tenth season in which Lou gar
nered at least 80 homerS.

Incidentally. Lou blew himself
to a single. double, triple and a
homer against the Browns one day
and against the same club he
also hit a home with the bases
full for the twentieth time in his
career, breaking his own record.
Nor is this all. His total bases
for the year were 366, which brake
the record he shared with Ruth of
having 300 or more total bases a
year for II years. This was the
twelfth time Lou has done it.

Rotary Banned By Hitler.

The following editorial from the
"Cloquet Rotary Log" is food fol
thought that requires no comment:
"At last the expected has happened
Rotary has been told to get out OF
Germany. The AlStrian-born house
painter who has taken complete charge
of that once great nation has decreed
that any German who follows the
teachings of Rotary is a traitor.
1T is to be regretted that the teach
ing of Rotary, the unselfish principles
it inculcates in it's membership, should
be barred from any nation, particularly
one where they are so much needed as
in Germany. But of course a dictator
that would try to Danish the teachings
of the Nazarene carpenter and prosecute
the Jews as Hitler has done could not
be expected to have much sympathy
with anything or any organization that
teaches unselfish service to others.
"It is hardly to be expected that
German Rotarians will offer any real
resistance to this latest outrage against
their once proud boast of personal and
national liberty. The Germans are
following close behind the Russians in
their mad plunge to national destruc-
ton, and just behind them are the
Italians Is the United States in line
farther back? Will the communistic
nazi and fascist rats that are gnawing
at the foundations of our government
finally wreck our freedom? The issue is
now clearly joined. In Germany we
see what can come to pass there. II
can happen here.
'The nations that forget God shall
suddenly be destroyed and that without
remedy, says Holy Writ. History il
filled with confirmation of this fact
but the procession toward destruction
goes on.
ut is not surprising that Hitler sees
no good in Rotary. Service Above Self
can have no part in the exploitation Of
Germany by Hitler and his gang"

1t has been suggested that
laws be passed to allow people
to pay their taxes in monthly
installments. Three-fourths of
the 800 cities in the United
States of 10000 and over have
increased the number of tax
paying dates from one to five
or even ten and twelve a year
and tax delinquency is at a
minimum in these cities. $50
are collecting taxes in two in
stallments; II do it in three ;
So in four, and fifteen in five
or more; seven in 10 and three
in IL installments. 1t is fig
ured that it is easier to pay a
few dollars monthly instead of
a lump sum yearly. However,
county and state officials are
not keen for the change.

Romance, GLdmOr in

Angel" which opens at the State
Theatre at midnight Saturday with
Sunday and Monday showings, brings
to the screen a new director-star COM

DIETRICH
Herbert Marshall plays the part of
an absorbed diplomat, who gives all his
time and attention to political prob
lens to the exclusion of his wife, Mar
lene Dietrich, who resents his lack of
attention to her. She finally leaves
her home to make quiet trip to Paris,
in search of some adventure to relieve
the drabness of her usual life. In Paris
she meets Melvyn Douglas; the two fall
in love.
A strange quirk of fate brings Mar
shall and Douglas together and makes
them friends. Douglas visits Marshall's
home, where he is utterly astounded to
meet the woman he knew in Paris only
as Angel" In the ensuing crisis, Miss
Dietrich runs away from both of them,
back to the salon in Paris where she
met Douglas. Both pursue her, and
she decides finally that her old fash
Toned love for Marshall is worth more
than her new emotion for Douglas.
The work of fine cast, numbering
Ernest CoSsart, Edward Everett Hor-
ton, Laura Hope Crews, Herbert Mund-
lin and Ivan Lebedeff, puts the finish
ing touch on fine and satisfying piece
of entertainment.

Noted VirtuOsO Tells of
Customs House HOLduD.

DR.. Erich Sorantin, famous Viennese
violinist, who will appear at the Wash
ington auditorium on Sunday, Novem-
Der %, at 8:15 P NJ, told us an anus
ing experience when he was interviewed
recently.
At one time when he arrived as
usual for his annual concert tour from
Europe, he carried several violins and
bows with him. AS the custom in
spector at the New York pier noticed
them, he asked DR.. Sorantin about his
profession. The latter told him he was
concert violinist and had a tour
scheduled The custom inspector looked
at DIR. Sorantin and doubted his state
ment as he did not look like an artist
to him, inasmuch as he had his hair
cut very short. Therefore the custom
office called another one of higher
rank and they both began to question
him quite severely.
Finally they asked him to take out
one of his violins and play the Caprice
Viennois by Kreisler-a piece they were
familiar with. DR.. Sorantin hesitated
to do so inasmuch as he felt that the
open air and the busy waterfront was
not quite the place for recital, and
moreover large crowd of curiosity
seekers had assembled. There seemed
no other way out as he began to play,
eagerly waiting for the command to
stop.
The custom officers, observing their
own enjoyment as well as that of the
crowd did not stop him until he had
finished and lasting applause filled the
pier. They apologized for the unusual
procedure, but they said they were glad
to hear such a great artist free of
charge and asked for some tickets to
the New York recital.

1t is figured that accidents
account for about 80 per cent
of Americas total motoring
cost by the National Safety
Council statisticians. They fig
ure that the expense of an or
binary 100-mile trip is $3.50,
divided as follows, not figuring
the depreciation on cars: gas
oline, $1.5O; oil, zoe; tires, 19c
accidents, Tic. The direct cost
of last years accidents, accord
ing to the same authorities, was
$1,64O,OO0,O00. Accidents cost
enough in good money to buy

each.

ever to congregate at one time in this

Many more were here than ever be-

Municipalities may establish and OPP
crate motor vehicle testing stations
under the new Minnesota uniform

This was decided in an opinion
handed down by Attorney General
William S. Erwin on the request of R.
S. Wiggin, Minneapolis attorney, and
will lead number of cities, towns and
villages in the state to erect such
stations to promote safety by keeping
dangerous cars off their streets. A fee
not to exceed one dollar for a test may
be charged and compulsory inspection
periods may be called after due notice
by the municipality, in the opinion of
the attorney general. He pointed out,
however, that only residents within the
corporate limits of the municipality in
which the test is being made may be
forced to take the examination.

Fred Schilplin of St. Cloud
took the assassination of Pat
rick j. Corcoran of Minneapolis
seriously and thinks the state
needs a cleaning out of gang
sters and other riff-raff. Fred
is the publisher of the ST. Cloud
Journal-Press and just finished
the cleanup of slot machines in
Stearns county and in the an
nouncement of his candidacy
for governor of the state says
that he feels ''like seeing if
something might not be done
in behalf of decent government
possibly on a statewide SCALE"
Like all respectable news
paper men in Minnesota and
throughout the United States,
Fred Schilplin feels that the
inactivity following the violent
deaths of Howard Guilford and
Walter Liggett by hired assass-
ms is deplorable and the Cor
coran affair decided him to
stick out his chin for governor
with the firm intention, if cleo
ted, to make Minnesota a gang
sterless state in which decent
people will find a pleasure in
living.
Knowing Fred, as we do, we
feel that if elected, although
opposed to the political beliefs
of this writer, he would furnish
this great state with a common
sense administration, some
thing not being on tap for the
past several years, or since the
North Dakota discredited
horde invaded Minnesota poll
tics and were elevated to the
throne. Schilplin, as one man
imbued with loyalty to the
state, alone, could accomplish
much more than our present
four hide-bound governors.
Being an Al good news
paper man, (any newspaper
man is capable of filling any
office in the state to the salts
faction of the public) we feel
that Minnesota would be we'll
served in the election of Schil-
plin, who was euchered out of
the nomination last year by the
Vaccinations of his own party.
