a HUSKY, large-nosed Italian
American catcher and a burly
first baseman from Maryland's east
ern shore captured the spotlight
briefly for baseball from q sports
world intent on football, when the
Baseball Writers Association Of
America picked the two most valu-
able players to their teams In the
National and American leagues.
The catcher was Ernie lombard,
who swung a hefty bat for the Ma
tional leagues Cincinnati Reds dur
ing the 1888 season. The first base
man was Jimmy Foxx of the Amer
lean leagues Boston Red Sox, whose
gallant comeback from the down.
and-outer trail a year ago won him
landslide vote in the poll.
To lombard, the award comes
late in his playing career. for he
has been in the major leagues since
1881. The big catcher rolled up 299
points, or 63 ahead of Bill Lee, the
Chicago Cubs pitcher. who finished
second. lombard, who lives in Oak
land, Calf, led the league in hitting
with .S42 and, according to his man.

Sets New Record

To Foxx, the award was no nov
city, for he has won it on two
previous occasions-in 1882 and 1888.
But it is a vindication for him
after a miserable season in 1887.
when he hit weak .285, falling
below the 300 mark for the second
time since he was brought up to the
majors by Connie Mack from Eas-
ton, Md, back in 1884.
Jimmy polled 3O5 points out Of a
possible 1856 and became the first
player to win the most valuable
award three times during his ca

season and drove in a near-rec0rd

In previous years they have been

Why An Izaak Walton League?

Franklin D. Roosevelt: "The cam
paign for the conservation Of our re-
Movable natural resources, particular
ly our wild life, must be based upon
dedication to unselfishness '
All who love forested heights popu-
lated with game, clean streams and
lakes stocked with fish, and mag
nificant vistas of unspoiled natural
beauty, must inevitably wish the
Izaak Walton League of America well
in its self-appointed task Of guarding
these treasures"
Herbert Hoover: "The Izaak Wal
ton League has become the greatest
force in the country for the protection
and development of opportunities for
outdoor life. AS people increase in
numbers and in leisure we must have
stimulation to health, and above all
the moral value that comes from ASSOC
citation with nature. Every member
of the League is further soldier in
our ranks, fighting an organized bat
tie for this vital thing in the nation"

TOURIST BAROMETERS

An early season, better season and
prosperous season are pointed in barom-
eters appearing almost daily in The Citizen
ard along our streets and highways. Just
yesterday, for example, the Key West
Tropical Aquarium, the Key West Charter
Boatmen's Association and Peter Schutt,
manager of Hotel Casa Marina, certainly
a well diversified list, furnished bright
hopes for the winter.
According to a report filed by john j.
Romero, caretaker of the. aquarium, AZ
strangers visited this open air exhibition
last Sunday. This institution is regarded
as true tourist barometer because it is
visited by virtually every stranger that
comes to Key West. Sundays attendance
is taken to indicate the Key Westward
trek is under way.
Charter boatmen figure that although
their season never really gets under way
before January 1, there should be con-
siderable volume of business this year be-
fore that date because of the recent boom
in the stock market and revival of opera
tions by some of the large northern indus
u i1l Ple%ilIo' consequently tttC OUdtLHGH
are busy readying their craft for an
earlier season. It is possible so fishing
party boats may be in operation this year
out of Key West. That represents SUBJ
stantial increase. .gd1s
ii Peter Schutt and the interests he rep
ireseRts5are not noted for their tendency to
make a1moye before they have carefully
iehartedi AZ course designed to bring about
profitable operation. When Peter Schutt
announces he expects to arrive on Novem-
Der 5 to prepare for opening the hotel De-
cember 10, some two weeks earlier than
usual, it is pretty safe to figure he has
reasonable assurances of sound volume
of business by December 10. His an
nouncement is an important straw in the
wind of coming events.
Those are only few induces. Others
may be found in almost any street. The
bus terminal is nearing completion, the
remodeling of La Concha Hotel is we'll
under way, store fronts are being painted,
new restaurants are opening up, many
householders are putting up room rental
signs, and yards everywhere are being
cleared of weeds and debris All good
signs of better times.

MRS. HoUDINI GIVES UP

After more than ten years of futile
efforts to make contact with the spirit of
her dead husband. Mrs. Harry Houdini,
widow of the famed magician, finally an
nounced few days ago that she had
given up trying to communicate with him.
During his lifetime, Houdini scoffed
at spiritualism, and exposed many decep-
tive tricks of spiritualists Before his
death in 1926, however, he made an agree
ment with his wife to try to make contact
with her through spirltualistic medium.
In pursuance of the experiment Mrs.
Houdini took part in many seances, and at
one time it was reported that she thought
the effort had been successful. She later
repudiated this, but continued to attend
the seances. In her recent statement she
said :stsoa .tss
81 ga.I tried to- contact Harry for ten
years after his death and nothing hap
,pened. After the last seance almost two
years ago stopped trying.'aoH
s7si3s This is one of many instances in
which persons have agreed to make such
experiments. and some have claimed sue
cess in establishing communication with
spirits of the departed. But none of these
claims has stood up under scientific
scrutiny.

UNITED STATES STRIVING FOR

Americans often attempt 10 cheer
themselves by arguing that our tax bur-
den is not yet so heavy as that borne by
the British people. But. as Harry Scher-
man points out in the New Republic, this
is definitely miseonception.
Due to the tremendous increase in
taxation that has taken place here in re-
cent years. we have the uHenviable- distine-
ton of having caught up with the English.
In the last fiscal year. the English people
paid SLOT per person in taxes And the
American people paid precisely the same
Furthermore. much of our emergency
spending has been financed by deferring
the taxing period-that is, by initiating the
debt, and mourning gigantic obligations to

income equal our tax outgo. it would very
possibly be discovered that We are the
highest taxed nation in the world.

REPLIES TO DouCHTRY

Editor, The Citizen:
Mr.. Doughty in his speech to
the Service Club made statements
which in my opinion could be
termed as misleading.
His attack on the Mayor was
uncalled for and unwarranted at
this time. / feel that the time is
ripe for ALL of our city officials
to cooperate for the common well
fare Of our city, and forget what
had transpired i'm the past.
ESR gard ing carnivals, MIR
Doughty voted on an ordinance
that would permit any number
of such shows to operate Iinithis
city provided that they paid a
license of $4,000. Never to my
knowledge has it been understood
that only one such show be fav-
ered by this council.
Sam B. Pinder, city tax col
leetor, had a perfect right in
granting up until now two licens-
es for such amusement shows. He
only did his duty by abiding by
an ordinance passed on by this
council, an ordinance, as / stated
above, was voted in the affirma-
tive by Mr.. Doughty.
AS to his charge that prosti-
tutes are soliciting business at the
lower end of Duval street, is Mr..
Doughty in a position to prove
that such a condition exists? If
he can, / agree that it is time that
such condition be eliminated.
Then. regarding the local 'bo-
lita" situation, Mr.. Doughtry sew
eral months past at a meeting of
this council made this statement:
Il feel that if a majority of our
people desire this condition to ex-
list that it be left entirely up to
them.

Dear Mr.. Artman:
The members of the Advisory
Welfare Council are deeply ap-
preciative of the many courtesies
you have shown toward their
work. The most recent of these
being the donation of the credit
cards to be given to the donors
on which they may keep record
of their contributions to the Wei
fare Fund. In many other ways
you have shown yourself to be
interested in the welfare of our
community. Without such assist
ance the work of caring for the
INDECENT sick would be more diff
ficult. In their behalf we thank
you.
You will be interested in the
following data concerning the
work. Over the period January
to August 81, 972 days of hos
pitalization were re n d r e d
through the cooperation of the
Marine Hospital. Toward this
the Council paid the per diem
costs of $1,96O.50. From such
patients as could reimburse us
81 ,491 80 was collected. The great
amount of professional services
rendered by the attendant surg
cons was their contribution to the
welfare of the community. For
it they should be given high
praise.
At the Clinic a host of patients
continues to be cared for. From
the small fees which those able
to pay, a sum of $278.25 was
gathered. Out of this sundry ex-
penses of the Clinic were met
totaling $84.58. In addition the
physicians were paid $798. Drug
bills amounted to $559.67. Such
sold figures cannot show the
large benefits received by the
sick.
AS you already know the funds
from which this work is carried
on come in part from the gen.
erous hearted citizens. We know
you can be counted on to aid
through the columns of The Key
West Citizen, and in other ways.
We want you to know that the
various members of the. Advis-
DRY Council are grateful.
Sincerely,
JOHN c. GEKELER,
Secretary Treasurer, Monroe
