CINCINNATI, Aug. 19.-The Gin
cinnati Reds battled the st. Louis
Cardinals for nine innings to a s.
to3 tie today. Rain started to fall
just as the Reds were making des-
perate effort to end the duel. Un-
protected fans took cover. The
drizzle increased to a downpour and
the days efforts went in vain.
The 1928 disappointed fans saw
Johnny Mize, league leading slug
ger, who had perfect day at the
plate, double in J. Martin, who had
singled, for run in the first inning
Morton Cooper famed the first
three Reds up.
Moore Hits Home Run.
Terry Moore slammed the first
ball pitched by Paul Derringer in
the second for his eighth home run
of the season, giving the battling
Cards a two-run advantage.
After Derringer hit pop-up
which Cooper converted into an un-
assisted double play in the third,
/ Werber and Joost walked and Good
man doubled both home to knot the
count.
The Reds loaded the bases in the
fourth on two walks and a fielder S
choice but failed to tally as Werber
fouled out
Card Strategy Works.
With one on base. MiZe tripled
over Goodman's head in the fifth
and the Cards again had the lead.
In the seventh walk, sacrifice
and Werber's single tied the game.
Goodman, first up in the eighth,
tripled and Warneke came to the
hill. Lombardi was passed and Ber-
ger walked to load the bases. The
strategy worked, for craft lined into
a double play to nip the threat.
The Reds collected only four hits,
but Cooper, who struck out six, is
sued as many walks.
Manager Ray Blades said he would
pitch Curt Davis in the first game
tomorrow and either Weiland or
Sunkel in the second while Bill Nc
Kechnie pitted Walters and Moore
against them.
The tie left the Reds 5l2 games
in front of the Cards.

ates of their quarters in the Papal
Palace today to make room for the
several hundred persons who will be

Hundreds of telephones were re-

Only the members Of the Sacred
College of Cardinals, now number

secretaries and ceremonial officials
also will be locked within the con-

elected.
Bartolomeo Nogara. director of
the Vatican's famous museum; Msgr
Mella SAINT ella, papal major domo,
and Msgr. Giuseppe Migone, the
Pope's private almoner. were
among those today who had to seek

Cells for the cardinals, who thus

They are set up within the walls

the cardinals were obliged to sleep
in one large dormitory, but a mod

Gently from goodwill tour of

today If totalitarian powers want to
assure the election of Eugenio Car

1T is probable" Bishop Ryan
said, that any cardinal who is
opposed for political reasons will
have a much better chance of
being elected Pope than if he were
not opposed.
ANY campaign-political, diplo-
matte or in the press-against Car
dinal Pacelli will enhance his
chances enormously. 1t will lead
the cardinals to prove to the world
that the election of a Pope is abso-
lutely free"
Bishop Ryan said there was no
way of preventing people from ex-
pressing their choice or opinions
for Pope, but when such express
sions go further, and an attempt
IS made to apply pressure, then the
totalitarian powers will find that
the cardinals will assert their inde-
pendence."

VATICAN CITY, Feb. l8.-Forty-
five cardinals wearing violet capes
bordered in ermine and violet in
mourning for Pope Plus XII had
their first funeral mass for him
today while awaiting the arrival of
foreign princes of the church to
elect new pontiff.
The service was the seventh of
nine daily requiem masses being
sung for the Pope. The cardinals
mad remained away from the first
six services, as is their custom, but
they departed from tradition by
having their service not in Sistine
Chapel, but in st. Peters baSilica.
Vatican authorities announced
that the conclave of cardinals to
elect a papal successor would open
on the evening of February %, with
the voting to begin the next day.
Two U. S. Cardinals Arrive.
Two of the three United States
cardinals-Dennis Cardinal Dough-
erty, Archbishop of Philadelphia,
and George Cardinal Mundelein.
Archbishop of Chicago-arrived to-
day in Rome. William Cardinal
O'Connell, Archbishop of Boston, and
two South American cardinals are
expected to arrive February %.

funeral masses to be celebrated at
The services were scheduled to start

on wave length of 3006 meters.
Today the cardinals were escorted
into the basilica by Noble Guards
and Swiss Guards between rows of
Palatine Guards and papal gen.
darmeS.
Proceeding to places reserved for
them in the apse where huge cata-
falque with the papal tiara atop
was still in place, the cardinals heard
mass celebrated by Angelo Maria
Cardinal Dolci, Bishop of Palestrina,
while the choir sang the Gregorian
requiem of its director, Msgr. Lorenzo
Perosi. Hundreds of priests, monks,
nuns and laymen watched the
service.
Illness May Bar Participation.

Friends said in any event he would
need assistance in marking his ballot
because of cataract.
Each cardinal is permitted secre-
tary and servant in the conclave.

SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE
(Bradford County telegraph

bradford County Telegraph
Citizens of Key West have banded together
in an organization to be known as Citizens and
Taxpayers, Inc, for the avowed purpose of en-
forcing equitable assessments, balanced budgets
and to sponsor better government generally in the
interest of the public welfare
This encouraging movement follows in the
lead set by citizens of Jacksonville, Miami and
other progressive Florida communities It cam
not be regarded as anything but healthful sign
of the times when group of citizens become in
terested in good government and arouse them
selves long enough to edo something about it."
Specifically. the Key West organization sets
forth as its major detectives: Ito install an
equitable system of taxation. 2-To enforce the
collection of revenue from the system of taxes al
ready devised 3-To eliminate all unnecessary
expenses Rigid enforcement of the law.
The third point in this program is Of special
interest at this time. A recent poll of public
opinion showed that fifty EIGHT per cent of the
people want governmental expenses reduced
Talk of wasteful extravaganza in political circles
both state and federal is common topic of con-
versation, yet no one seems to know just what
can be done about it.
The patent excuse given by politicians gem
orally for budget increases is that "the public is
demanding it, However, this poll should be
ample proof that public officials either being
deceived by vociferous minority groups or are
simply offering this poor excuse in the absence of
better one.
In either case when fifty-eight per cent Of
the people demand reduction in the public
spending and only six per cent say it should be in
creased it is safe TO predict that candidates for
office in the next election viii think twice before
disregarding the wishes of the majority
In the meantime, it would be fine thing Is
more communities would follow IN the footsteps
Of Key West and form organizations whose OBJ
Jet is the search for better government.

battle against human enemy hut also in the
fight against the enemies Of inequality and ex-
travagance

SPONSORSHIP FUND LAGs

Some time ago City Council undertook
to raise funds for sponsoring federal prof.
ects in Key West. Various schemes for
direct taxation of our citizens were sug-
gested. They met with opposition and
were dropped. City Council thereupon
agreed to. program of seeking voluntary
subscription to such fund.
A few citizens volunteered to seek
contributions. They are reported to be
working valiantly. One man has been
fairly successful in the quest for dollars
needed by the city to sponsor WPA prof.
ects that would give the city fine improve
ments and relief workers jobs. However,
the total of the subscriptions to date is said
to amount to $247 This sum would just
about carry $1,000 project.
This disappointing and ludicrous re-
suit should be enough to make Key West
hang it's head in shame. The sum realized
for this purpose is totally inadequate To
provide the city with beaches, with REG
ICdllOIidl 1dCllIIIcS, Will oil dIHiCLIC 1lCiu
and other improvements of constructive
nature will take thousands of dollars. To
ignore the opportunity to provide the COM
munity with these needed improvements
and to aid those on relief to earn their liv-
ing is crime against the city The WPA
is not going to last forever. There are
signs that it is on the way out of the ma
tional economic setup. The time to make
public improvements with WPA coopera-
ton is now.
City Council should sit down with the
members of the sponsorship fund commit
tee and work out systematic program of
solicitation, if the city intends to continue
this means of raising money. The city
should be laid out in zones, each house
holder listed. Each zone should be covered
by committee familiar with the people in
the zone. The fund raising campaign
should be publicized and encouraged.
Those unaware of the need for the money
should be informed. In short, City Coun-
ell should map out businesslike and effec-
tive program.
It is not the fault of the present COM
mittee or the public that the fund has not
been swelled to substantial proportions.
Such campaign requires thoughtful plan
ming, concerted effort and careful manage
ment. Either do the job right, or forget it.
The way it stands now, the whole PROPOSE
ton is joke and a disgrace to the city,
