LOS ANGELES, Oct. 29.-Charley English. fiery first baseman for the Los Angeles Angels who played major role in bringing the pennant to the Wriggley owned club during the Pacific Coast League season just closed. intjmated that he would rather continue playing for the An oels than return to the Cincinnati Reds in the National League.
 But the fact that the Reds have called him back means that English will have to report regardless Of his feelings in the matter.

Juice, or other non-alcoholic cocktails, are al
ways prohered, in addition to whatever other
sort may be the hosts speciality. Also at table
it is now customary to ask guest. who
says mo thank you to. champagne, if he
prefers non-alcoholic beverage.
But to answer the definite question of the
editor at that particular dinner: 1t would
really have been better to say. mo thank
you" - and if the host urged you, to add
with wishful look of regret - Sorry. but
I'm not having any!" Under these circum-
stances you can then easily say mo" at
table. Otherwise it would be least conspicuous
to allow little wine to be poured into your
glass. Then, unless your host happened to be
looking as the wine was poured. he will not
notice later on that your almost empty glass
has never been filled. On the other hand, if he
did happen to notice, he could not feel that
much wine was wasted. In any case, to turn
your wine glass upside down is needlessly
rude way to say mo"
As to this general subject of saying mo"

admirable as we'll as lkable Let US say. then,
that he is one who says mo" lightly, and yet
that this mo" has an immutable finality.
Such person says very little about what
he will or won't do. In fact, he rarely forces
his opinion upon any one; but if asked, he
gives his answer as truthfully. as kindly, and
as briefly as possible - especially if he thinks
his opinion may be in serious disagreement
with that of the other persons. Such people
never lose the confidence of their friends.
They are the people who give to best society
its qualities of distinction.
OF course, the obvious point to be made is
that frankness must be adjusted to courtesy
through the considerateness of ones manner
1t is quite amazing how frank one can be,
when ones manner is warm and sympathetic,
eager, affectionate, or appreciative. One can
say mo" and make it sound almost as nice
as Yes" On the other hand, one can say
mo" and make it sound cold, critical. and
almost as affronting as blow. You can say
I'm sorry, no" and make it sound a poignant
personal regret Or you can say mo thank
you" and make it sound as casual and light
hearted as the fitting of butterfly Or it can
come down upon you with the weight of
sledge hammer.
The secret of how this is done is first of all
an innate attitude by which, while we refuse
we hold no criticism Of those who do not re-
fuse, At the very moment we set ourselves
up with an II am better than thou" attitude,
we become as intolerable to others as we our
selves are intolerant.

a LETTER from an editor asks this ques-
A ton: When guest, who drinks
= u neither cocktails (spirituous) nor
wines, goes to dinner party, do good man.
ners require him to accept the cocktail before
dinner and to permit his wine glass to be filled
at table? If this be the case. must he then pre-
tend to sip these beverages, or may he let
them alone?
"Or is the franker form of refusing the cock
tail, and turning the wine glass upside down
permissible? This discussion came up at
dinner given by famous epicure, who prides
himself upon the perfection of the cocktails
he makes and of the wines and the dishes he
serves add this information in case it
may have some bearing on your answer"
To this, of course agree that it is naturally
disappointing to host, who has prepared a
perfect menu for especial guests, to have them
eat very little or drink nothing at all Under
these circumstances, most OF US would be
inclined to accept the cocktail and the vine,
and then try to keep the host from noticing
that they are let alone. Unfortunately. how
ever, to sit holding an untasted cocktail BE-
comes conspicuous, and to allow wine glass
at table to be filled and then let it remain u11-
touched will seem to the host distressing
waste particularly if it be rare wine.
The real point in such case, however. IS
shat the obligation of courtesy rests not on
the guest, but on the host and hostess. 1t IS
they who are at fault, if they serve only alco-
holic cocktails and offer guest, who refuses
wines or spirits, no alternate choice.

hours before the NEAL or the strawberries
picked at just the right hour of the day in the
garden. But no disapproval can possibly be
implied on the part of the guest who says mo
thank you.'
Not 50 many years ago when diet fads had
not come into fashion, and the scientific study
of balanced rations, vitanins. allergies and so
on was unknown outside of the laboratories,
it was considered very discourteous to refuse
whatever ones host or hostess proffered. To-
day no one is ever expected to eat any items
to which one is personally antipathetic. In
fact the increasing present-day use of the word
allergic has been more helpful to the accept
ance of the phrase mo thank you" than any
thing that ever happened.
The most serious mo thank you" problem
is, of course. that of young people who are
afraid of saying mo" to whatever others
suggest Wanting to be popular is natural. It
is also natural to 60 along with the crowd, and
to do what the others are doing. and think
what they think. In matters which are not
important. this is quite the right thing to do.
But when an inner small voice says, mo,
don't do that! It's cheap. it's vulgar, it's
wrong" then it is time to say mo" As for
permanent popularity - it does not really
belong to the sheep. after all.

Much interest is being centered
in the selection of an All-Star Key
West nine to play here during the
Celebration.
AS to clubs of days gone by, the
writer would like to do little re-
calling of the players at that time.
Most old fans remember the
White Stars, six times city cham
pions, from 1902 to 1908. Among
those on the club were Tomas.
Medina and Cheche Mira in the
gardens, all $50 hitters. Pablo
Guajiro, Meme Benitez, l. Medina
and M. Caraballo in the infield
Iron Man Fico Garcia in the box,
who used to pitch two gmaes an
afternoon and think nothing of it.
He was helped by F. Milford and
Machin. Kelley was the catcher.
They had opposition in the Royals
with Arthur and Roy Fulford in
the box. Abe Roberts, Lonnie
Stickney, Joe Papy and others
were on the Royals. Also, Cuba
Club gave them all stiff opposi-
ton at that time. This team had
the Rodriguez brothers, and Con
zaleZ and other players.
In 1912 the best club that has
ever represented Key West toured
the state and won everywhere it
played, and they were known as
the Keely Sluggers. Charley So
