This message brought prompt

"No orders accepted unless accom-
panied by certified check. E. G..

Baffled on this front, I tried to
stir up bad feeling between the bat

patch to Vernon Gomez:
"Dickey says you can't pitch a

Quick as a flash the answer can1e
back:

Cont Insult Crosetti
By Writing Gordon.

The business of breaking up Cor
don and Crosetti was tough from
the start. Thinking to rouse the
suspicious of the second baseman,
notoriously a fellow of misanthropic
tendencies, I disguised my hand
writing with pair of fake whiskers
and wrote him as follows:
Deer Mister Gordon: What do
you know about Crosetti? In as
sociating with him closely around
second base in the last couple of
years, especially on them double
plays, have you missed any valu-
ables, jewelry, or loose change? I
do not make any accusations at this
time, but if I was you, I would
jump to the Washington Nationals,
where the shortstop is reliable and
the food is good. Yrs. Resp'y. A
Friend"
The next thing I knew Gordon
made a new will and left his for
tune to Crosetti as a sign of good
faith. You cannot break up the
second-base combination by trick
cry, and as far as I can make out
you cannot break it up legally,
both boys being of age. I tried a
wire to Crosetti:
you have been sold to the ST.
Louis Browns. Report Immediately.

Eosy Motter to Get Rid
Of Manager Mccarthy.

My first idea was to separate Joe
Gordon and Frank Crosetti. I fig
ured that once these two light
footed buffoons were apart, the Yam
kee defense would crack like a
smile. Then it would be a simple
matter to send Red Rolfe to Huron,
in the Northeastern League, on the
pretext that he was wanted on the
telephone. after which we could
surround Babe Dahlgren and break
him up individually, before help
could reach him.
From there on, there would be no
sense in Bill Dickey hanging around
the park. You could send cop to
pick up Joe Di Maggie and Charley
Keller for vagrancy. Seeing
everybody leave the bail park,
George Selkirk would get suspicious
and rush to the Office to pick up
his pay check before anybody else
beat him to it, leaving Red Ruff
fling, Lefty Gomez, Johnny Murphy
and Arndt Jorgens. Throw these
wolves a deck of cards and the
bridge game would be on, in the
presence of less than $4,000 GUS
toners.
Get rid of Joe Mccarthy? An
easy chore. All we'd have to do
would be to pass a law" requiring
everybody to answer questions with
fiat Eyes" or mo" violations
punishable by 30 days or $50
fine. Before we had the statute
on the books, Mccarthy would be
over the border in Canada, exer-
cising his freedom to say well,
maybe" and baseball would be
saved.

Breaking Up Yankees
Job for Dynamite
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent of The Star.


NEW YORK, Oct. 16 (NA.NA0.-
A little delegation of sportsmen with
the best interests of the national
pastime at heart, or somewhere
near there, called around last week
to get your operatives advice on
how to break up the Yankees.
1--WE gotta break 'em up!" barked
the chairman of the posse, produc-
ing check for 100000 and bounc-
ing it couple of times against the
wall. "This is your fee, Larkin, If
you can find a way"
With this announcement the COM
mittee left the joint and dashed
off the see about breaking up Joe
Louis. The chairman told me over
his shoulder that baseball must be
saved from the tentacles of monop-
oily.
do good job, Gardner!" he hol-
Tered. IF you fail we may have to
break you up, for the good of the
game"
There is no doubt whatever in the
mind of any right thinking citizen
that the Yankees must be busted
apart. The issue is as clear as fall
ing off log. But how are you
going to go about it? Your agent
has been trying to break up the
Yankees now for 36 hours and the
boys still are as thick as thieves.

The ease with which charlatans of all

| NE WYORK, Sept. IA (AP).-
These are tense, realistic days to
be writing about the flamenco
wiles of a dancer from Andalusia,
but since it concerns also the
matadorial achievements of Miss
Soledad Miralles. the lady bull
fighter, kindly pretend that the
world has no cares beyond the
pleasures of the moment.
Miss Miralles arrived in New
York the other morning after a
zig-zag, hide-and-seek game with
floating mines, submarines, and
other hazards of a similarly un-
pleasant nature, and at once was
greeted by Is relatives whom she
had never seen before and who
indeed had no idea that she even
existed. Miss Miralles was GER
tainly on the wing, and like birds
of a feather she and her relatives
recognized one another by means
of a tribal mark close to the eye,
a tiny cross that is burned on
each semi-gypsy child, so that
wherever she may wander there
after in the world, members of
her family-clan will recognize
her.
In a Village restaurant later,
while her sponsor, my friend, Be
nito Collada, plunged an elegant
fork into an elegant Argentine
steak, she told all.
Miss Miralles is SPANS No. 2
lady bull fighter. Since male
bullfighters are matadors, I sup
pose that would make her a
matadette. In any case, she mata-
dette (OuchD with Ben and me
to see some of her new dances
and hear some of her experiences
in the bull rings of old Madrid.
Now there is no bull-fighting
in America beyond the street
corner, or locker room variety,
and so the limpid grace and the
mercurical fleetnss of movement
by which the bull fighters and
fightettes prevent themselves
from being gored, has by this
Senorita been incorporated into
variety of new Cape dances
she goes through a bull-fight
without the bull. In other words,
she shadow-dances, much as our
prize fighters shadow box when
they are in training.
But the cap dance is only a
vague hint as to the repertoire
of Miss Miralles, who is dark and
black-eyed and excitably quick,
and who can not sit still once the
orchestra begins to play. She
loves the flamencos which were
brought into Spain by the Moors
centuries ago. Each of these

TAX THIS NUISANCE!

The 1939-40 winter season is ap-
preaching 1t won't be long before thou
sands of tourists and winter residents will
be rapping at our doors. AS always, they
will be seeking our glorious sunshine, the
salt-filled air, peace, quiet and relaxation.
They will demand and get these vacation
attributes, or else. -.
Key West can supply about every
thing the tourist demands except quiet at
night Careful studies by unbiased ex-
'perts indicate that it will take years to
educate our motor vehicle drivers to quit
driving with their horns and learn to use
their brains and steering wheels for a
change 1t seems almost impossible to
train our drivers to slow up at intersec-
tons, take it easy on busy streets and OBJ
serve a little courtesy in traffic jams, in
stead of using their horns to get them
from one pace to another. There APP
parently is little use trying to stop the
horn-blowing, so that's out Our visitors
will just have to put up with that kind of
unnecessary racket.
But we can do something about the
wild cats and dogs roaming the city. The
cats and dogs haven't any horns to blow,
thank goodness, or their din probably
would be added to the usual nocturnal
medley of meows and growls and barks.
In the cat and dog world Key West rates
among the great howl and growl centers
of the country Nightly cat serenades and
dog fights are permitted. Cats and dogs
can get away with murder in Key West.
No attempt is made to license the cats and
dogs. They operate here without an &C.
cupational tax of any kind. The cats and
dogs like it here.
Of course many of our residents and
all of our visitors resent the unmolested
carrying-ons of the cats and dogs. They
complain nearly every day about the cats
and dogs It seems to do no good. Our
city officials are soft-hearted and kindly
individuals and believe in giving the cats
and dogs break Why should grown
people complain about cats and dogs? If
our visitors don't like the cats and dogs,
why, they can go right back where they
came FRONT We know how to run our city!

way, yowling, growing, fighting and pur-
suing life, liberty and happiness. There is
law requiring tags for all dogs. City of
ficials state some of our people cannot af-
ford to buy tags. So no one is compelled
to buy tags for their dogs. And many
owners of dogs don't feed the animals.
But, of course, they must have their pets,
whether they are cared for or not.
The city needs to establish a rule of
quiet at night. The city needs money, is
trying to borrow to pay our firemen, po-
licemen and other municipal employees.
Why not solve both problems by taxing
dogs? Why not exterminate the home
less, starving dogs-and cats? Or is that
too much to ask?

THE COMING ELECTION and


political situation is thus thrown
into confusion. Will the election
be legal under the old charter or
should it be held under the new
charter? The Charter Commit
tee thought for time of in
shutting suit to question the
city's action in not sticking to
the new charter. But it, like
most agencies in town, is handi-
capped for funds and such a law
suit would involve considerable
money. However, If the election
is held under the old charter and
the new charter is declared to be
the legal city charter, then the
question as to the eligibility of
the newly elected office holders
may be made. The new charter
has very strict qualifications for
city officers which may be in
voked through charges brought
I'D by citizens and which would
be tough on present office hold
ers. Thus though present office
holders, other than the Mayor
and City Councilmen, under the
