"All right" Asey said. "All

He made his. way to the tri-
angular furnace room window
and removed all the putty from
one pane with such deft celebrity
as to remove also whatever sus-
picions the trooper might have
been entertaining. Then he pro-
ceeded TO putty, with infinite care.
A slight noise in the first floor
window above temporarily dis
concerted him. He looked up to
find the greenest parrot he had
ever seen staring down at him fix
edly from a perch in cage. On
the window sill lay Emma Gold

tical eye. tsddus y

1t is a part of the preachmentS
of this day that we are all en-
titled to the better things of life,
better living and housing condi-
tons, more comforts, better pay,
less work, more fun. We are not
told that these formerly hard-won
things are the rewards of honest
labor, planning ahead, economy.
We are told that we have a right
to them, that those who have
them should be made to come
across, that big fortunes are a
shame. That is what it amounts
to. We are in the age of easy
money.
Is it any wonder, then, that this
preaching in high places creates
disregard for law and order, for
property rights, and even for hui
man life? Men go about commit
ting unspeakable crimes, that
shake the very foundations of
society and. when caught, say: Il
only did it to better my condi-
tom. Weak minds are so mis-
led, believing that it is rightful
that they should take, for Moth
ing, what another has worked and
struggled for. Unfortunately,
when you lay down a beautiful
dictum of equality and better
ment for the 'underprivileged"
you can not tell how il will be
accepted by the morons and
child-minds that throng the high
ways and byways, They only fear
order and force. Preach mercy
to the moron and he win accept
it, as leave to rob. murder and
kidnap, and, in defense. reply: Il
only did il TO better my condi-
ton.

For gosh sakes" the trooper
said YEARLY, Ego putty your

to still another trooper who was
just entering the house. This
guys going to putty the windows.
He's all right. He's harmless"
"Huh. Asey said, trying to
sound badly ruffied, sit sure takes
you fellers a long time to make
your minds up!"
Swinging the putty pail and
gripping the putty knife. he made
slow and searching circuit of the
house. The. cellar windows were
large four-paned things, and they
needed putty just about as badly
as he thought they would. He
could putty practically till dooms-
day, or until someone got suspi-
cious and sent him away
From what he could gather by
|peering through the windows. the
cellar floor plan was a strange and
wonderful thing. The hall appar-
emily ran diagonally through the
place, slicing the octagon and leav-
ing visible two triangular small
rooms, two rectangles - slightly
bashed-ayld two hybrid rooms
that seemed to have at least six
walls apiece. He rather hated to
contemplate what happened in
the middle of the place, beyond
his line of vision. He strongly sus--
peeted that there was a circular.

very least.

FAIR CROWD SEE
COKES LOSE WITH
new UNIFORMS
PICKED TEAM CAME OUT
VICTORIOUS 9 TO 2 AT BAY
VIEW PARK LAST NIGHT;
JINX PREVAILS

One of the largest crowds to
attend a diamondbal1 game for
some time turned out last night
at Bayview Park to watch Coca
Cola, in new satin uniforms, play
a picked team of players from
Roosevelt Club and Red Devils.
I The ink that a team playing
their first game in new uniforms
will lose held true last night, as
/. the picked outfit downed the for
mer Lopez Funeral Home, 9 to z.
H Goipg INTO the third inning,
the Motors had the score 8 to 0
in their favor. The Cokes had
sent in two pitchers, Blondy
Roberts and Clarence Cigarette
Willie" Gates, and had removed
both because of wildness.
Then the picked teams defense
collapsed and with the aid of a
few walks and hits, helped great
ly by wild throws over the in
field, Coca-Cola marked up seven
runs in their half of the third.
This thrilling comeback brought
the fans to their feet and intense
interest in the game was once
more displayed, reminding one of
the old days when diamondball
first began to be played here.
The opposition had scored two
runs in the very first frame and
six in the second canto. But the
satin-clad boys almost overcame
that lead and made up for their
bad start with the seven-run blast
in the third.
However, the picked players
came back in the next frame to
play a brand of ball that held
the Cokes scoreless from then on.
Ward had them popping up and
grounding out. But for that third
inning, when he received terrible
support in the field, Ward would
have scored a shutout.
The victors, otherwise, made
some sensational catches that had
not been witnessed at the Park
in long time.
NJ. Tynes was the most OUT
standing player on the field. He
caught Sterling's slap to deep left
center after overrunning the ball;
he held out his gloved hand and
snatched the apple that seemed
like a sure hit.
Hopkins also played very good
game for the Picks.
/ Carbonell, Gates and Baker for
I the Cokes were stars afield.
Leo Stanley, one of the most
conscientious diamondball players
| of the city, switched from his
usual outfield duty, to pitch for
| Coca-c Cola after Roberts and
!. Gates had been Yanked.
I This young moundsmen-not in
years but IN actual pitching time
mot only rstupped the picked
teams rally in the second frame
but held them to one lone run in
the1next seven innings.
/ Ward went the route for the
victors.

ALBURY HOLDS
EXAMINATION

Raymond Albury, conductor of
civil service examinations in Key
West, yesterday morning in the
examination room in the federal
building, presided over the ex-
animation for junior civil en-
cheering aid.
There were originally two can
didates for the examination, but
one of them failed to make his
appearance, hence there was but
one applicant, Orlando Caraballo
who took the test.

MILLS AND WOODS
READY FOR MAIN GO
TONIGHT AT ARENA
NOTED AUTHOR ERNEST
HEMINGWAY. TO BE THIRD
MAN IN RING: RESERVED
SEATS FOR WHITE FANS

Joe. Mills and Clarence Kid
Woods, principals in the main
event of the boxing card to be
staged tonight at the Blue Goose
Arena at Thomas and Petronia
streets, have hung up their gloves
and are now restings awaiting the
opening gong. ss7e
Mills, whirlwind colored box
er of this city, will be the favorite
tonight, as local fans have always
liked his style of fighting, and be-
cause the visiting scrapper is un-
known here.
Ernest Hemingway, noted au-
thor, will be the third man in
the ring. Local followers of the
squared circle point out that Hem
ingway is a believer in fair play,
and that he will give his verdict
true and impartially. And when
he gives his decision fans can bet
the buttons off their shirt that it
will be fair and square.
Woods arrived in Key West
yesterday over the highway from
Miami. He looks very good.
Woods last fight was on June 9
when he fought in Jacksonville
and won by a decision from
George (Farmer) Gray in ten
rounds.
Semi-final event will bring to-
gether the two fighters who stole
the show at the last card staged
at the Blue Goose Arena. They
are Cuban KiSo and Kid Ed
wards, both good fighters who will
please the fans. They throw the
gloves from start to finish, giving
an exhibition that is worth the
price of admission.
Three preliminaries will make
up the rest of the card.

uled follow:

Especial to. The Citizen

NEW YORK, June 17.-Carl
Hubbell, out after his 200th vic
tory of his career, was knocked
out of the box yesterday by Pitts
burgh Pirates and New York
Giants lost by the one-sided score
of 10 to 2. Rookie Klinger held
the league-leadefs to five hits. 1t
was the BUGS second straight win
over the New Workers. The de-
feat reduced the Giants lead to
one and half games, as Chicago

were held to just five safe blows.
Passeau limited the Redbirds to
a half dozen bingles. Final score
was 3 to. 2.
Rudy York of Detroit Tigers set
a new modern major league rec
ord when he was walked six
straight times. Two other play
ers held the record of five straight
passes. In 1891, a player was is
sued six bases on balls in a row,
but the feat had not occurred
since then until yesterday. York,
not being credited with an official
time at bat in six tries, set new
American League record. Never
theless, the Tigers walloped Phil
adelphia Athletics, IL to 3. Tom
my Bridges held the AS to six
hits.
Bob Teller won for Cleveland
Indians to keep the Tribe half
game in the lead. Teller scatter
ed the eight hits he gave up.
New York Yankees downed

Home runs helped Boston Red
Sox to defeat St. Louis Browns
by the large score of IL to 8. The
