CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-BOOming
 home runs by Frank CrOsettf
 and Joe DiMaggio in the last
 two innings, each with a man
 on base, drove Dizzy Dean from
 the mound and gave the New
 York Yankees their second
 straight victory over the dis
 heartened Chicago Cubs today
 by a score of six to three be-
 fore 42,1O8 fans.
 Although he had been taken
 from the game in favor of
 pinch hitter just before Crosetti
 smashed the winning homer in
 the eighth inning, Lefty Gomez
 was credited with victory which
 game him a new record of
 winning six world series games
 without defeat.
 BUMPS FOR DIZZY
 Dean was a hero to the homo town fans up to the eighth and was given resounding acclaim as he had allowed the slugging Tanks only five hits. He appeared to be coasting to certain triumph until Selkirk opened the fatal eighth with a single. Two forced outs fol- lowed and the great Dizzy even then appeared to have the situa- ton we'll in hand. Crosetti stepped up to the plate and Dean began bearing down even harder. Eight times the Yanke shortstop fouled the ball and the count stood at three and two. Again the old pill came down the valley, and Crosetti stepped into it for a long, hard drive into the left field bleachers, good for four bases and sending Selkirk across the plate ahead of him, giving New York four to three lead.
 Anti Climax
 The anti-climax came in ninth. Heinrich got aboard with single and DiMaggio followed him to the plate. Joe had only one hit to his credit so far in the series, but he met one of Deans pitches right on the nose and drove the ball out of the park for the second homer of the day and definitely sewing up the ball game.
 Crusher for Cubs
 The second straight defeat on their home grounds was crusher for the Cubs, who looked utterly dejected as they wandered from the field. The Tanks were so hilar- ious they threw all the bats onto the grass after DiMaggio's wallop and did war dance in front of the dugout.
 The teams leave tonight for New York where tine third game of the series will be played Saturday.

In Human Progress

duct and weaknesses are still
present in man, as we see mani
tested in certain situations to-
day. But as to losing faith in
human progress, there is no
reason for doing that" he de-
clared.
Contrary to the popular notion
that primitive man ran arount
randiShing a club constantly, DR.
IIrdlicka insists that he wa
essentially peaceful"
HE was a hunter, of course,
and he was a fighter with
nature. And he had to kill at
times. But trouble began with
rivalry over women and with
competition for individual pos
sessions. And they were later
developments.
Property and women are
still factors in violence and
disturbance among persons, but
today there are other powerful
factors which early man did not
have to contend with. The ten
sion of increasing population,
causing the necessity of expan-
sion and strife. And the defec-
tive inheritance of so many peo-
ple," he pointed out.
PROGENY WORSE"
"In a family with an alcoholic
father or mother, among seven
or eight children there may be
an epileptic, a criminal or an
imbecile. Even if the first gene
ration escapes specifically, the
next will carry the defects, un-
less sturdy stock is introduced to
counterbalance them.
In the face of that gloomy
picture, DR.. Hrdlicka still reaS-
Ierted his faith in mans upward
rend.
Its a slow process but it is
going on all the time. There
is a gradual recognition of these
conditions and steps to improve
them" He pointed cut, for ex-
ample, that lin all civilized
countries, there is a movement
against one of the most terrible
destructive forces, syphilis, and
substantial progress has been
made in the last few years."
To counteract alcoholism. he
aid, "there will have to be gen.
sral enlightenment of the people
10 they will know the dangers and
yuard themselves"
Was primitive man more happy
han the modern man beset with
III the complexities of life today?
It took DR.. Hrdlicka only an in
,tant to say mo" emphatically.
"JUST AS STRONG"
From the intangible, he turned
10 a tangible comparison between
tarly and modern man. Once
lgain he contradicted a popular
potion when he said:
"For his bulk, man is prob
ably just as strong today, if not
stronger than primitive man,
and certainly he is more re-
Sistant and enduring"
AS for changes which are taking
place in man, he pointed out that
our cheekbones and Jaws and
teeth are getting smaller. The
hair. not being Of much use any
more, is becoming less.
when women wore a knot OF
hair, the weight of it meant
stimulation to its growth. But
when they cut the hair short,

WHOM THE GODS WOULD DESTROY

Since the dawn of history, ego
maniacal tyrants have held him in bond
age, despoiled his damsels and spilled his
blood, but the Jew goes on forever.
AS wide-eyed tots in Sunday school
we were told about the beloved Hebrew
patriarchs of our Bible who had been torn
and oppressed, their temples burned, and
their people made captives of idolatrous
apagans. BY unpronounceable but ON
Understanding words, with beautifully
colored pictures, in sermon and in song,
the faithful Hebrew Children were por-
trayed to our imaginative young minds as
awe-inspiring heroes who, in our childish
reverence, ranked almost along with God,
even.
But now, the atroeious plundering
and persecution of Jews by modern
pagans become but commonplace routine
news of the day
Modern Pharaohs, 1885 mad dicta-
tors in streamlined Babylons, are too
much the matter-of-fact realists, and we,
the people of the world. although con-
demllng persecutory brutism, are far too
predetermined TO believe In actual wish
tations like another Passover, or a new
Red Sea catastrophe. But we are hopeful
that %whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad" still holds good, es-
pecially in extreme cases, and that GER
tain toothbrush-mustachio jackal has
now been mad long enough to warrant
the dawning of his own day of retribu-
ton.
Today. as it has been since Abraham,
the Jew is the worlds No. problem. Is
there not within Israel's very ranks a
Moses. Joshua, or Messiah 70 lead
them out Must the Passover and Red
Sea tragedies be repeated-at least SYM
bolically? recurrence of these, in some
form. are items which belong on the

PROJECT SPONSORSHIP

Directors of the Key West Chamber of
Commerce got to the core of the unemploy-
ment situation here when they determined
it would get steadily worse unless the city
and county arranged to sponsor number
of needed WPA projects. The chamber
officials decided to meet with members of
city council and the county commission to
discuss ways and means of raising funds
for such sponsorship.
Until very recently Key West had re-
ceived more outright grants from federal
agencies for work projects than any other
Florida city. Government officials now be-
lieve the city is getting into a position
other words, unless the city or the county
sponsor future projects by making required
contributions of cash or materials, the WPA
payrolls are soor scheduled for drastic
slashing in the city. Every 100 men taken
from the rolls means monthly loss of ap-
proximately $4,000 in the municipal in
come and other complications such as an
increase in relief allotments for those so
removed.
Indicative of the possibilities of the
city makes a contribution of cash and ma
terials is the project for repairs to Roose-
welt boulevard, the gateway to downtown
Key West. If the city puts up $4,000 in
cash and supplies materials costing $500,
the WPA would expend approximately
100000 in labor for making this needed
improvement. That would provide work
for many men over a considerable
period and in the end give the city an APP
proach in keeping with the beauty of the
Overseas highway. The boulevard is pit
ted with holes, menace to traffic and a
mighty poor advertisement which is read
by every passing motorist.
A number of other improvements are
being held up for lack of proper sponsor
ship. Beaches are needed, new munich
pal yacht basin is crying necessity, Sec
tions not covered by the WPA sewage and
water project should be supplied with
sewers and water mains-ail these need
the sponsorship of city or county, or both.
Everyone knows the condition of the
city and county treasures. They have been
depleted and public employees are unpaid.
The chamber officials believe it is possible
for the city or county to buy materials for
WPA projects on a time payment basis.
The Citizen hopes the proposed conference
of city, county and chamber officials will

MOST OF THE WRECKS

the past took place between two
lights off Key Largo. Most
boats tend to run from light to
light in the channels. Well, if
they do not off Key Largo and
are without a chart they are 60
ing to run smack into a shoal in
between which sticks out into
the line. The reason why the 9TH
er two lights cannot be brought
out further off their shoals is that
there is deep water off of them.
Eventually on that hidden shoal
a light will be erected.

Today gives a patient, happy,
contented, and self-posSessed dis
position. The existence may be
uneventful, but probably happily
suited in the domestic ties, even
though the life be devoted to an
unambitious calling or reward
long deferred. 1t is far from a
useless life, though it may be a
simple one, or perhaps not given
its due reward till too late.
