Reds Great Slab Duo
Attacking Record
BY GRANTLAND RICE,


NEW YORK, Sept. 27 (NANA).-
In the march of modern baseball
every soothsayer figured that Lefty
Grove and George Earnshaw Of the
Athletics had set a tough record to
beat in 1881 when this combination
walked away with So winning games.
Grove won 81 and Earnshaw, the
big moose of Swarthmore, added 81
more. In 1884 the two Deans, Dizzy
and Paul, ran their combined total
to 49 games-30 for Dizzy and 10
for Paul.
But as the final week OF the CAM
paign loomed on the horizon, Will
liam Henry (Bucky) Walters and
Paul Derringer had run their win
ming total to 81 victories with Z
games left. Walter had packed
away ~ and Derringer "a, two win
ming games beyond the Deans and
only one back of the Grove Earn
shaw combination.
1t is a very good bet that Walters
and Derringer will pass the Grove
Earnshaw nop-up before the season
ends and so lead all twin combina-
tions in the fast ball era.

Of War Danger in

Tells Methodists
Thot President Has
Abandoned Neutrality

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, May 4.-Alf M.
Landon left with representatives OF
the country's largest Protestant
church today a warning economic
quarantines and economic assist
ances" mean sending American boys
into the cockpit of Europe to fight"
While he crossed party lines '''
to support my President" in an in
ternational peace conference move,
the 1896 Republican presidential
nominee said Mr.. Roosevelt had
abandoned neutrality for the United
States"
Mr.. Landon's address to delegates
at the Methodist Uniting Confer
ence was broadcast and relayed to
Europe and South America.
Peace Opening Seen.
He found in Herr Hitler's speech
replying to President Roosevelt's plea
for peace a slight opening "for fur
ther discussion" and Il think we can
and should support the Presidents
appeal and urge him to take
such advantages of further discus
sion as Mr.. Hitler's reply offers"
Any appeal for conference could
restate Americas intention to be
impartial in its approach to peace
full solution of world difficulties" and
reject the notion that war is in
evitable."
In event of war "the American
people should not be fooled as to
what economic quarantine and eco
nomic assistance mean
"They mean the inevitable sending
Of our sons to France to die, under
the plea of saving democracy for
continent that has never known the
true meaning of democracy as we
know it."
Statesmen Blamed.
He blamed ''blunuerlngs of states
men in Britain, France and even in
America" to some extent for today's
situation, adding that fairness and
frankness compel the observant citi-
zen to admit that he CHitleD made
rather strong case against economic
injustices."
Even should an international peace
conference fail, he said. "it would
gain time, and time always fights on
the side of peace"
On the other hand, he advised, the
United States should not cease "to
prepare ''' to resist 80 the threat
of any country or combination Of
countries who rely solely on force as
a national policy"
Publication Plan Abandoned.
The Committee on Publishing In
terests for the Methodist Uniting
Conference abandoned attempts to-
day to design a weekly publication
for the united church and drafted
a resolution asking that the matter

be turned over to a co-ordinating
committee.
The resolution will be presented
on the conference floor.
The Co-ordinating Committee,
composed of nine members ap-
poiated by book committees of the
three branches of the church, would
report to the General Conference

ton provides, the three Official
papers now being published would
be continued.

this campaign an outstanding success.
Last year more than $4,000 owners
failed to have their automobiles in
spected by the time the campaign and
an extension period had endeed. Sew
eral thousand of these were summoned
into the office of the Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles to explain their de-

protect themselves, Mr.. Elgin said.

CHRIST CHURCH, EASTON
ENTERTAINS NEW BISHOP

Attended by many members of the
congregation, Christ Episcopal Church
held a reception at the Parish House
last week in honor of the Rt. Rev.
William McClelland, Bishop of the
Diocese of Easton, and Mrs. McClel-
land. After the formal reception,
which started at 1880 o'clock, the re-

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
MILFORD ROTARIANS WILL
PURCHASE AMBULANCE

The Milford Rotary Club has under
taken a campaign to raise $1,000 to
purchase a new ambulance for the
Milford Memorial Hospital. Milford
has been divided into districts for the
canvassers, and schools in both Kent
and Sussex counties will be given a
chance to donate.
At the assembly at the Junior-Sen-
Tor High School last week, the chair
man of the drive, Irwin G. Burton
and r. A. Derrickson, the first presi-
dent of the Milford Club, were pres
emit and addressed the students. They
were assured of 100 per cent coopera-
ton.
The Rotarians also plan to extend
the soliciting to the rural communi-
ties served by the hospital.
The procuring Of new ambulance
has been a hope of the Milford club
for a long time. Other projects sue
cessfully promoted this year have
been children's playground, Boy
Scout troop, and student loan fund.

REVIEWING


Dedicated to a cousin, Mr.. Ollie Reid,
Saxis, Va.
Do you recall when little girl
With hair in braids, because it would
not curl,
A small pug nose with freckles here
and there,
Little and thin and neither dark nor
fair?
Looking down at me you smiled while
walking up the lane,
Having come to see your aunt, my
mother, once again;
You were then man so tall and big
and strong
That I to keep up with your steps
must run along.
Time brings many changes and roads
apart will grow,
Familiar faces in our youth in age
we seldom know;
Through all the many years that folks
have called me grown
I know I'm still the little girl at heart
you once had known.
Still looking up, still stumbling on my
way,
Trying so hard to keep in step with
every day.
What have the years brought you that
come and go,
Are you still the tall big man I used
to know?
You did not talk to me of grown up
things,
Although you must have known child
hood had wings,
Was I too young to understand that's
why you didn't say
eff you would be rich then make.

Or, "Never look at ragged coats but
at the heart instead,
And Judge your neighbor by his acts,
not by what he's said"
I think see you once again look down
at me and smile,
AS on the day walked with you, a
little child.

LEADERS LEAVE
WASHINGTON

Between the opening and close of
the special session, Congress seems
to have lost the strong desire it once
had to stay in Washington and keep
a close eye on the Presidents handling
Of foreign affairs.
When the Senate and House met in
September there was good deal of
talk about keeping Congress in ses-
sion until the regular session met
next January. This sentiment was
strong enough for Mr.. Roosevelt to
take special notice of it in his neu-
trality message. He said then that
he was asking leaders of the two ma
jor parties to remain in Washington
and consult with him at frequent in
tervals on foreign policy.
Now that the neutrality bill has
been enacted into law, however, all of
this anxiety over what the Admins
tration might slip over in the absence
of Congress appears to have been for
gotten. Congress adjourned in rush
and it's members hurried home. A
check made in Washington revealed
that not one of the top-ranking lead
ers, expected to take part in frequent
White House conferences, had remain
ed behind.
This apparent abdication on the
part of Congress is probably, more
apparent than real. Modern means
of transportation are so swift that
a member of Congress can reach Wash
ington from, any part of the United

BISHOP McCLELLAND
GIVES DISCUSSION
AT CLUB MEETING

Discussing "Woman's Place in the
Present Crisis" before the three hum
dred clubwomen in attendance at the
Thirty-Sixth Semi-Annual meeting of
Eastern Shore Federation of Women's
Clubs at Elkton on November 2, the
Rt. Rev. William McClelland, Bishop
of the Diocese of Easton, said "Wo-
men and men have broken down ideas
and ideals of another day, and this
has brought confusion to the land"
He spoke of the important place wo-
man has taken in the development of
every period.
Between the World War and the
present" the speaker continued, "there
has been considerable theorizing in
which the power of the home and the
real use of the church has been ques-
toned. It is almost impossible for
US to bring together, in unity, the
theory of the home, church and State.
We are told that this divergence is
healthy for the problems of today, but
most of the theorizing has been used
to break down what we built before.
"You are to decide what you want
to preserve. Your place is to see
that the home, church and State are
better than they were before this per-
iod. At this time of crisis, when no
one knows the way out, women should
resolve, that, war or no war, they will
look forward to the preservation of
these three elements of American life
and thank God that they have paid
attention to his leadership in these
crucial hours"
Mrs. Samuel L. Byrd, of Cambridge,
elected president at the spring meet
ing at Hurlock, made her initial ap-
pearance in that capacity. She was
presented with a basket of chrysanthe
NUNS by the hostess club. Mrs. Max
Chambers, of Preston, led the singing

topher, of fredericksburg, accompanist.

dent of the Elkton Woman's Club,
made the address of welcome, and

States in less than "a hours. There
is no real necessity for the members
to stay on the spot as long as they
can respond so swiftly to call for a
conference.
But it is safe to say that other fac
tors played part in the decision to
adjourn and abandon Washington to
Administration leaders. The slow
pace of the war abroad and the new
restrictions keeping American citi-
zens and American ships out of the
danger zone have left the feeling that
no crisis affecting the security of the
United States is Immediately in pros
pect. President Roosevelt's own re-
straint in recent months may well
have lulled congressional fears that
he might get the country into trouble
by some bold and dramatic move.
Nevertheless it would have been
better psychology for some of the
congressional leaders to have stayed
on in Washington whether they were
needed Immediately or not. Even if
they are not needed now the country
would like to feel that they were on
the job, ready to consult and advise
with the President on problems that
may arise at any moment in world
at war.-Journal-E Every Evening, Will

HITLER
BY Edgar A. Guest

BY Edgar A. Guest
No wife, no child, no playtime hour,
No love of anything but power,
No neighbors near, no family tie,
No caring who may live or die.
No friend beyond the moments need,
No God, except the god of greed;
No pity and no wrong and right,
No faith in anything but might.
No morning song; no evening prayer,
No little patch of garden, where
In springtime blossom tulips gay,
Nothing but warfare night and day.
No home by patient labor earned;
No hearth where CHEEKY logs are
burned;
Nothing, save for a little while
The stupid cry, "Heil Hitler! He'll"
