.CONCHS AND BUGS
MEET TOMORROW
IN FOURTH GAM E
GEORGE MALGRAT SLATED
TO PITCH FOR PIRATES. OP.
POSED BY ROBERT BETHEL
AS coNcH SELECTION
By O. L. MILAN

Weather permitting tomorrow
afternoon will see the fourth
game of a post championship Sc
ries between Key West Conchs
and Roadside Pirates at the
Trumbo Field. The two teams
finished first in each half of the
Monroe County Winter Baseball
League, which ended several
weeks ago.
With the series standing two
games to one in their favor, the
Pirates will march onto the field
tomorrow with confidence of cop
ping the fourth game and walk
away with the county'S baseball
title by taking three contests in
a row.
Lanky George Malgrat is slated
to do the pitching for the BUGS
and the sharp curving shooter is
said to be in the best of condi-
ton.
Robert Bethel, who pitched a
beautiful two-hit ball game
against the strong Miami Beach
club last Sunday, will be the Sc
lection of the Conchs to do mound
duty for the Hamlin crew.
Several weeks ago Malgrat and
Bethel hooked up in a pitching
duel that had the fans on their
toes throughout the contest. The
lanky Pirate hurler, however,
bested Bob when the Pirates
batting artillery got on to Beth
els losses and took advantage of
a sore finger to bat his deliveries
all around the field.
All in all, the game tomorrow
will be a hard-fought one as the
Key West nine is determined to
keep the Roadsiders down.
In the first game scheduled for
80 o'clock the Blue Sox will
cross bats in another battle for
second place honors with the
hard fighting Seafood Grill.

CARDS TIED FOR SECOND
(spe.clal Ia 1.he iCitl.eh,

NEW YORK, May 6.-New
York Yankees outhit the opposi-
|! ton yesterday and still lost. A
double by Hal Trosky with a
player on base in the 18th inning
won for Cleveland Indians and
dropped the Yanks into second
place. Lefty Gomez pitched six
hit ball and the New Workers
garnered II safeties off Milnar,
but the final score was 81 in
favor of the Tribe.
Bostont Red Sox climbed into
the leadership Of the American
League while the Yanks were
losing by virtue Of their Al VIC
tory over Detroit Tigers. Rookie
Rich held the Tigers to three
hits, defeating Schoolboy Rowe,
and Jimmie Foxx and Joe Cronin
contributed home runs to help
their moundsman on to victory.
Chicago White Sox's Lefty Lee
bested Joe Krakauska of Wash
,ington Senators, 81, with the aid
lof Rosenthaps home run blast in
the sixth inning. The win was
the third for Lee this season.
Philadelphia Athletics over
whelmed St. Louis Browns, 10 to
IS. Among the AS II safe blows
were a single, double, triple and
homer by centerfielder Chap
man. Johnson of the victors and
eileen Of the Brown each poled a
round tripper.
Boston Bees maintain a slim
hold on first place in the Nation
al League but not because Gin
cinnati Reds wanted them to do
so. Ciney's Reds fought Is in
nings to defeat the Bees yester-
day, ga. Erickson, of the Bees,
who relieved Turner after the
first inning, did not allow two
hits in any one frame until the
fatal 18th when the Reds bunch
ed two singles and an infield out
to score the winning run.
st. Louis Cardinals and the
Reds are still in a tie for second
place. Despite two honers by
Bob Seeds, scoring four runs, the
st. Louis Cardinals were able to
defeat New York Giants, rs, and
keep pace with the Reds. With
the score 40 against them, the
Rdbirds rallied in the sixth to
shove over five markers and then
add two more in the seventh.
Pittsburgh Pirate hurler Sewell,
who twirled good ball for 8 2-3
innings, blew up in the ninth and
allowed Philadelphia Phillies five
runs. However, Brown came to
the rescue, and so the BUGS, who
had pounded four Phil pitchers,
won, 1917.
Brooklyn Dodgers, aided by
seventh ball by Wyatt and a
home run by Tony Lazzeri, his
third, downed Chicago Cubs the
second day in a row. Wyatt also
drove home two runs in the sixth
with a single. It was his third
| victory of the season. A four-run
blast in the sixth won for the
Dodgers and sent rookie Lillard
to the showers. Final score was
] s to 8.

Cardiff Giant, Hoax of 1869,
To Mark Birthday Anniversary
Figure Dug Up on Farm Now Reposes in
Basement After 70 Years of Troye

pie nocked from all over the East
to see the monstrosity-at a nomi-
nal admission.
The New York State geologist
viewed the great hulk and pro-
nounced 1t an authentic natural
mummy. The Nation marveled.
But the president of nearby Cor
nell University, Dr. Andrew White,
was skeptical. He looked over the
giant and uttered something like
chuckle. Prof, O. S. Marsh Of
Yale, an authority on both fossils
and sculpture, was called in to pass
judgment.
The giant, he declared, is Of
very recent origin-and decided
humbug"
Out Of the ensuing furor came
the confession from one George
Hull, wag from Binghamton. that
the Cardiff giant, rather than an
eerie echo of the dinosaur days,
actually was his brain child.
Far from mummified flesh and
bone, it was good old gypsum,
quarried in Fort Dodge, Iowa. and
fashioned by clever Chicago stone
cutter into remarkable likeness of
a human mummy It had been
smuggled to Cardiff a year before
and planted
His idea, Hull said, had been to
ridicule religious extremists who in
sisted on accepting literally certain
biblical references-such as refer
ences to ancient giants.
But, exposed, the giant continued
to be national attraction. 1t was,
to say the least, a unique object,
with a sufficient aura of romance,
albeit fraudulent. to lure thousands
OF dollars from the curious.
1t was exhibited in Syracuse. New
York City and several other places.
1t remained a theatrical star for
decades, with several "comebacks,"
the latest only five years ago, when
there was a tilt between Syracuse
and Iona for permanent possess
sion of it.
The giant chose his native heaths
OF gypsum, and wound up in the
basement museum of Gardner
Cowles, jr., Des Moines newspaper
executive, where Monday he will
celebrate his anniversary-in the
characteristic style of gypsum giants.

There are about 300 of the islands,

NEW YORK, Oct. l4.-1f any,
body tries to sell you q mummy
Monday, be careful, because it's the
10th birthday of one of America S
greatest hoaxes-the Cardiff giant.
On October 16, 1869, a farmer
in Cardiff, Onondaga County. New
York. hired couple of neighborS
to dig a well on his place
About Is feet down they hit
something hard
And a few hours later Cardiff
was in an uproar, because the some
thing turned out to be the figure
of a huge man, apparently petri-
fed. his limbs contracted in a con-
vincing position of agony and his
body marked with centuries Of ero-
sion. He was 10 feet high and
weighed a ton and a half.
The news shot across the coun-
try. 1t seemed proof positive that
giants once inhabited the earth.
The discovery promised to revolu-
tionize science. Thousands of peo-
