YANKEES SET
new MARK With
3 SERIES WIN S
BY LAWTON CARVER

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 G.N.SJ.
in their admittedly
futile attempt to beat the New
York Yankees in the World Series,
the Chicago Cubs still have one
claim today that will make them
live in baseball history, the same
being that they probably were the
poorest team ever to enter the 10
called fall classic.
Acknowledging here and now
that the Yankees had too much
power and too much pitching for
the Cubs, the fact still remains
that the National League cham
pions should have at least looked
good losing. To the contrary, they
looked quite terrible in being
stopped in four straight, 81.
6-3, So and 8-3, the latter be-
ing yesterdays score.
SERIES RECORD
With that the Yankees became
the first team in history ever to
win three World Series in row
and the farther the thing went the
better they looked. In fact, the
Cubs finally wound up appearing
like a bunch Of Semipros.
The Cubs looked bad through
out the series. Their pitching
begged down, their fielding quite

what the mighty CUBS OF 1906-'08, and
the ATHLETICS OF 1929-'31 found beyond
their ability. They accomplished what
the GIANTS, WINNERS of FOUR CHAM
PIONSHIPS, could not achieve.
THE WORLD SERIES RECORD OF THE
YANKEES challenges the Imagination of
fans. . In 1925 they were beaten in
seven game series. But they took the 1927,
'28 and '32 series in four straight games.
They won and lost in the series of 1896
and '37 and winning four in row here,
they made their record IL and for three
years. That gives them 81 victories and
defeats since 1926, percentage of .794. =.
Under Mccarthy the Yankees have won
16 World Series, games and lost 3, per-
centage of .842. \
AND WITH Two EXCEPTIONS, THE
TEAM THAT CRUSHED THE CUBS in
four consecutive games is the same that
won the series from the GIANTS IN 1886.

the marvelS of the world.
Sammy was banged on his left
shoulder, injured first in the game
with the Philadelphia Eagles. He
admitted to one of his team
mates that he had been hit twice.
He was hit hard when he fired
that dramatic touchdown pass to
Bob MasterSon with just four
minutes to play in the second
period. The ball was on the 40
yard line when Sammy faded
back a step or two and cut the
leather down to Masterson, who
outran Leemans and Barnum in
the sprint for the goal. Sammy
was hurt again later in the game,
and all of his armor and special
braces didn't save him.
BITTER BLOW
Losing to the Giants, 10-7, and
losing Baugh came as a bitter blow
to Ray Flaherty ana a crowd of
35,321 fans who paid SAL 1,421 for
their afternoon of sport. OF the
two, the loss of Baugh was more
serious, for, despite any and all
statements, however optimistic,
the Texan definitely was sorely
hurt on that lame shoulder.
The crowd had its first intima-
ton that Baugh was not himself

tried to catch a punt. He couldn't

not catch the ball with right hand

CTRANGE as it seems. mighty
Gibraltar was saved for England
in 1890 by 80 Barbary apes imported
from Africa.
Involved in the superstitious beliefs
Of Spanish natives at Gibraltar Eng
lands hold on the rock was believed
dependent on whether or not the Bar
barry apes could live there under
British rule. When the last ape died,
natives whispered, Eneland's flag
would no longer wave over tne fortress.
In 1880, the monkey population OF
Gibraltar had dropped off until there
were but two left-a pair OF old
females. Natives passed the word that
the British hold was weakening.
Fearing possible revolution or other
trouble with the Spanish natives, mill
tary strategists stationed at Gibraltar
saw the necessity OF taking steps to
replenish the stock OF Barbary apes.
Consequently Capt. D. A. Smith was
commissioned to bring new ones from
Africa to quiet the superstitious ma
tives. He captured 30, ferried them
across the Strait and turned them
loose. Today, strange as 1t seems, it
is crime to tease these peace
preserving monkeys Of Gibraltar-and
high treason to kill one!

At both tables South opened with
one diamond. West passed, and North
undoubtedly should have responded
with three diamonds jump raise.
Had he done 10, it would have been
too dangerous for East to bid, where
upon South would have contracted
for game in no trump. On Vests nor
NAL opening of club, three no trump
can be made.
However, at table No. North de-
cided on camouflage bid of one heart.
South then bid one no trump and
North raised to game. But West,
knowing his opponents propensity for
psychic bidding, made the brilliant
opening Of q heart and the contract
was set two tricks.
At table No. 2 North achieved an
even poorer result. In response to his
partners diamond bid he bid two clubs,
thus giving East an opportunity to
interject a directing bid of two
hearts. North and South now knew
that they could not make game in no
trump and eventually contracted for
five diamonds. This contract was dou-
bled by West and set 800 points, much
to the disappointment of the West
player at table No. l, who had expected
swing in his favor.

GRADES BY PROXY

This is the season of school and col
lege examinations, and the question of
student honesty is under discussion again
1t is an old problem that of preventing
cheating by those who are willing to re-
sort to the practice in order to make their
grades.
The concern of teachers over this
problem may have been heightened for
those who have read a recent article in
Scribner's, written by a student, at the
University of Kansas, who tells of giving
aid to backward classmates in the past.
Among other incidents, he relates one
in which he played the role of "ghost
writer in preparing term book report
for u of the Ia members of certain class.
This goes considerably beyond the practice
of ordinary cribbing, whereby various data
are secretly carried into the examination
room by dishonest students in an effort to
avoid failure
1t also raises the question of whether
it is not as reprehensible for bright stu
dent to aid lazy or dull one as 1t is for the
incompetent to accept such aid There
seems to be no doubt that one is as dis
honest as the other.
1t seems impossible TO entirely eradi-
cate cheating in examinations. but the
practice carries its own penalty for those
who indulge in IL They suffer from loss

TAI ACCIDENTS

TAMPA, June Is FNS).-At-
tending National Safety Con-
gress at Louisville, KY, and dur
ing a discussion of compulsory
accident reporting, Asher Frank,
director of the Florida Safety
Council, was asked how Florida
obtained its fatal accident reports
so quickly while in other states it
usually takes from sixty to nine
ty days to get official reports.
Frank exhibited a years clip
pings from the Florida Clipping
Service, and stated: This is the
way Florida received its quick re-
ports. 1t is interesting TO note
that during the past four years
the Bureau of Vital Statistics and
the Clipping Service have never
varied over five or six in their
reports. 1t is further interesting
to learn that many of the states
now get the vital statistics from
clipping services in their respec-
tive states where there is no eon-
pulsory reporting of accidents
in April we announced that "A
persons were killed by traffic ae-
eiaeats. The Bureau of Vital Sta
tisties on June 1 announced 76.
This difference in reporting is
caused by persons who had been
injured previously and died in
March.

TIME TO LOOK AHEAD

Departure today of group of Key
West and Monroe county officials for Chi
cago where they will sign the city's refund
ing bonds totaling 100000 again calls
attention to the fact that the time is not
far distant when our municipal govern
ment will be out of the financial red. The
bonds call for only percent interest dur
ing the next ten years, so that the city's
outlay in this connection will be consider
ably reduced. However, the important re
suit of the refunding operation is to re
store Key West to good financial standing.
Despite the fact many old buildings
are being RACED, it seems certain that by
next year the assessable property in Key
West will be substantially greater than it
is now. Realty values in general have
been advanced These factors call for new
assessments based on new structures, i'm
provements to old buildings and increased
property values. In all probability the to-
tai assessment roll will be much larger the
ability of the taxpayers to pay their taxes
will be much better and the operating costs
of the city much lower by reason of the re-
duced interest rates on the bonded in
debtedness.
Therefore, it follows the city will
have more money to spend on public serv-
ices and improvements. But first, the
many old and nagging small debts as we'll
as the femIarger ones, must be paid. Our
firemen, policemen and other city en-
ployes have considerable cash coming to
them. Their demands must be met and
paid in full. Some of the increased revenue
undoubtedly will have to be used for these
purposes.
Nevertheless, the city's current rev.
enue will be larger and the city's credit
will be improved. There will be tempta-
ton on the part of city officials and coun-
cilmen to go on a spending spree We do
not claim they will do anything of the
kind but we do say the temptation to do so
will be strong. We have known few poll
ticians who could resist such a tempting
prospect.
What is needed is careful planning
As we have suggested on previous occa
si0ns, there should be some central plan
ming board representing our municipal gov
eminent and city council, the business and
commercial interests and the civic organ
izations of Key West. Such body could
consider and weigh all proposals for major
expenditures and general improvements
The best could be recommended, the worst
rejected. Acted upon such program
would conserve the city's cash and main
tain her new credit.

E "a ~ NFh
Our lesson last week concerned
/ the crucifixion, and death of sJe-
sus. Our lesson this week relates
/ his resurrection and his final
command to his apostles.
l The Christian Faith is based on
the resurrection of Jesus. AS Paul
said, our faith is in vain if there
was no resurrection. The triumph
of Jesus over death is the assur-
ance of Immortality to every man
and the confirmation of the di-
vine in the personality of Jesus OF
Nazareth.
/ Our lesson text gives us some
details of two occasions upon
which Jesus appeared to his fol-
/ lowers after his resurrection. In
all, the New Testament recounts
eleven different appearances OF
/ Jesus during the forty days be-
( tween his resurrection and his as
cension. In connection with this
weeks lesson, it would be inter
esting for each reader to follow
| these, and, therefore, we give
them in chronological order with
! the scriptural reference:
% The first appearance on
Sunday morning was to Mary
| Magdalene near the sepulchre, re-
counted in Mark 16:9 and John
/ 20:11-I8.
/ 20 Shortly afterwards Jesus
appeared to a group of women re-
turning from the grave, as relat-
ed in Matt. 28:9 and 10.
CD Luke 24-34, tells about an
appearance near Jersusalam to
Simon Peter alone.
t4) Two disciples on the road
between Emmaus and Jerusalem
were met by Jesus, who talked
and walked with them, Luke "a
1881.
co On Sunday evening at Je-
rusalem Jesus appeared to all the
apostles except Thomas, John &c.
! 1925.
/ CO. Eight days after the pre-
ceding appearance Zone week ac-
cording to our count Jesus APP
peared to the apostles, including
Thomas, John 20:26-29.
(7 Sometime subsequently,
probably two weeks, Jesus APP
peared to seven disciples who
were fishing in the Sea of Galilee.
John 21:1-13.
(8) At a mountain rendezvous
/ in Galilee Jesus appeared to the
eleven disciples, Matt. 28:16-20.
(9) Paul, in ! Corinthians, 1876,
in relating some of the appear
ances of Jesus mentions one TO
more than five hundred of his fol-
lowers in Galilee.

MUCH HONEY Is
BEING PRODUCED
BEES BRING REVENUE OF $780,
600 PER YEAR TO PINEL.
LAS COUNTY

CLEARWATER, June 10 (F'NS).
-Beekeepers estimate that about
400,0 pounds of honey are pro-
duced annually in Pinellas coun-
ty, and that the revenue is $780,
900 a year figured at 20 cents a
pound. This places the honey in
dustry second to citrus in this
county.
The best honey producer in
Pinellas county is the orange
blossom. Other nectar sources
are palmetto blossoms, black
mangrove (Which grows in salt
water), cabbage palm, golden rod,
partridge pea and other summer
flowers.
While the honey bee could live
life span of three years, it never
dies of old age. The usual life
span is as days, and the honey
bee works itself to death within
that time.

Sunday School Lesson


qe) Paul, in I Corinthians
1877, tells of an appearance to
James alone, the place not men
toned, but probably Jerusalem.
I'D The final appearance, just
before the ascension, which took
place at the Mount of Olives,
near Bethany, in the presence of
all the apostles, related in Luke
24s50, 81, and Acts 1912. - &
There are skeptics who question
the dependence which can be
placed in the gospel story, but
these are in the minority, The
story itself rings true. Minor con-
flicts on detail indicate an indie
pendence of testimony, which
would not be present had the en-
tire narrative been manufactured.
Then, we have the admitted diff
oulties encountered by some who
refused to believe, all faithfully
recited in the gospel story, which
would certainly not have been the
case had the story been an at
tempt to deceive.
The facts as related are so UNI
usual, so unlike those which a
creator of a story would have in
vented, that they testify to the
authenticity of the episodes. One
would never fabricate the details
of Jesus appearing first to women
not in that far-off day when wo-
mems rights were unrecognized.
The writer of an imaginative mar
rative would have had Jesus APP
pear after his crucifixion before
Pilot. or kings, or some great per-
sonage, rather than the simple
Galilean followers.
Probably one of the most effec-
tive Qualifications we have for the
acceptance of the resurrection of
Jesus lies in the miraculous
change which occurred in his dis
cipleS between the crucifixion and
the day of pentecost. When Jesus
was arrested, his disciples fled;
later they were back in Galilee
at their old tasks. Then they saw
Jesus, believed in his resurrection
and received the gift of the holy
spirit, after which they were ag-
grssive leaders having new faith
which they preached and for
which they died-surely, no one
can question the sincerity of the
belief of these men that Jesus
lived.
Before lis ascension Jesus de-
livered what has been termed the
great commission to his followers.
So confident was he of the eternal
nature of the principles which he
taught and that they could be sue
cessfully applied by man through
the successive centuries that he
commanded his apostles to win
the world by teaching them to OBJ
serve his doctrines. Coupled with
the injunction, was a promise of
support and aid, and assurance
of his everlasting presence with
them at all times. The apostles
believed, suffered, and died to es-
tablish this faith, which has found
an answering affirmation in
countless millions of human
hearts.
