Poetic Thoughts
Funny People
By NORRIS GIBBS. Sr.

1t takes different people to make this world
Some like to be alone and remain curled,
With their radical ideas and peculiar ways
Stubborn against arguments, they're the always
Many odd person has little conversation,
Never attempts to join any pleasant diversion,
Acts silent for years without saying a word,
But when least expected they're suddenly heard.
Many people funny clothes,
Seems like they never learn what goes,
With this size, color try tape,
Style is paramount remembering their shape.
A bad impression is made by dragging feet
An unearthly noise, sloven and not neat
The individuals appearance is not the best
Always look tired like they need rest.
Eccentric people possess odd feeling Of PRIDE
Don't care if you're their side
They're still unconcerned and methodcaly go,
About their business among friend foe.
Irregular people always find time
To mind others business and resign
Themselves to the fact that what they preach,
Violates the truth of what they teach.

PLAYERS TAKE COMPLAINTS
DIRECTLY TO PHIL WRIGLFy

One bad deal followed another
until the climax was reached when.
in the spring of last year. the
Cubs gave the Cardinals S1s5, 900.
Curtis Davis, Clyde Shoun and
Tuck stainback for Dizzy Deans
lame arm.
Philip Wrigley encouraged play
er disrespect for Hartnett by per-
hitting athletes to come directly
to the owner with complaints
the Larry French case, for ex-
ample.
Phil Wrigley puts Hartnett in
an unfayorable light by talking
about the best interests of the
team despite the fact that mem
bers of the pitching staff were in
Jured and Dick Bartell and Hank
Leiber failed to live up to expec-
tations.
Gabby Hartnett, like his prede-
cessor, Charley Grimm, now knows
what Bill McKeehnie meant when.
after Wrigley sent for him during
the world series of 1887, the cur
rent manager of the Cincinnati
Reds remarked: After talking to
Philip Wrigley for 10 minutes 1
wouldn't have managed the Cubs
If he gave me Wrigley field"
Deacon McKechnie inferred that
Philip Wrigley wanted to run thu
Cubs as he runs the chewing gun
business.

CUBS ARE HANDICAPPED
BY TOO MANY OFFICIALS

William Wrigley interfered Just
once, and it was the most serious
mistake in the history of the Chi
cago Nationals.
Disappointed when the Cubs
failed to win the world series from
the remarkable Athletics in 1929.
William Wrigley replaced Joseph
Mccarthy late in the following
campaign with the outfit in sec
ond place, and named Rogers
Hornsby in his stead.
Hornsby lasted just two years
broke out in another rash
of his usual trouble failed to
finish the season of 1882.
AS for Joe Mccarthy, he was
kicked directly upstairs was
out of a job only long enough for
Col. Jacob Rupert to reach him
on the telephone.
McCarthy's Yankees just won
their fourth consecutive world
championship in four straight
games Under Mccarthy. the

Tigers, Lions
Vie THURSDAY

With all OF its hopes OF retain
Ing the Crox@State league trophy
for the third consecutive year
gone. the Stadium grid squad will
open defense OF its City league
crown when Il takes on the Bellar-
mine Lions next Thursday night In
the stadium.
The Tigers have held the city
championship for the past five
years. The Bengals took u over
from Lincoln Just five years ago
under the direction Of Coach Eddie
Schwartz. who u now at Lincoln
as varsity mentor. and held It since
then. For the pas; four years
Coach John Heinrich has directed
the Stadium forces. Despite its
two recent losses to Everett and
Yakima. the Tigers are rated as
the slight favorites TO take the
Lions into camp.
The Bengais lost Ia Yakima
last Friday night Is TO 9 while
the Bells were being downed
by Seattle Prep TO the tune
of IL TO !. Stadium has three
wins against two losses for Its
seasons record.
The Lions, under the expert
guidance OF Leo Eckstein. have
been improving fast since the be-
ginning OF the season and may be
able to turn in an upset and down
the Stadium squad. No Bellar-
mine squad has been able TO defeat
Bengal team since Coach Helm
rick left the West End school to
direct the Blue and Gold forces.
In City league play the Bells
have played one tilt already with
Lincoln which they lost Is to o.
while the Tigers have not played a
City loop game yet. Stadium,
however, has played one tilt with
Lincoln which the Tigers won. Is
to 6. but it was merely for charity
and had no bearing on the
standings.

prise of the roads serving Florida
in providing this splendid equip
ment should be appreciated by
all Floridians.
Enthusiastic delegations gath
cred at stations along the line to
greet the train and its distin-
guished passengers, for it was in
deed an suspicious occasion. I'm
sure that the spirit of Henry M.
Flagler lowered over the stream
liner that bears his name, to
view with pride the great cities
that thrive today as a tribute to
his love of Florida, his belief in
her future, and his courage in
backing it up with his money and
his effort.
These new crack trains are but
forerunners of many that will
follow, fer even with daily serv-
ice on all lines, demand for ac-
commodations will far exceed
those available. I am confident
that throughout the winter sea-
son, those desiring transportation
on these splendid trains will find
themselves compelled to make
reservations weeks in advance.

ALARM SYSTEM
In GOOD SHAPE
LINES THROUGHOUT CITY
CHECKED BY ELECTRICAL
DEPARTMENT

The city fire alarm system has
been placed in perfect working
condition, and is now ready to
transmit all signals in a correct
and accurate manner, said City
Electrician Theodore Albury.
3 A little more than a month ago
it was found that errors were
made in the transmission of sig
nails and this happened so fire.
quently it was decided that a
complete investigation of the
lines would be necessary.
This was done by Mr.. Albury
and it was found that about three
miles of the lines were in such
condition that they would have
to be renewed and at once the
lines were ordered and the
work of getting the system in
condition was started.
Mr.. Albury and Mechanic Clar-
ence Thompson worked on the
system, running lines and making
requirements of parts when it
was found necessary.

TrOjanS Take Second Half
Flag With Win Yesterday
BY OSCAR L. MILAN

The mighty arm of Dickey
Navarro clicked and the Key
West Conchs went down to de-
feat at the hands of the Trojans,
5-S, at Trumbo Field yesterday
afternoon. The victory won the
second-half pennant for the Tro-
jams and a right to dispute for
the championship of the city in
a fiye-game post series.
Both clubs scored in the initial
inning and the Conchs led 2 to
| through the fifth frame with
the outcome in doubt until the
sixth round when the Trojans'
batting attack, led by William
Butch" Gates, scoring a double
and two singles in four tries,
hoped on Bullet" Joe Casa, the
Conchs' iron-man hurler, to put
over a marker in each inning to
the end of the game.
Up until then the teams were
held to two hits apiece but the
Red Devils increased their total
hits to eight the while Dickey
was holding down the hard-hit-
ting Conchs until the ninth in
ming when the losing club piled
up three consecutive safeties in
a threatening rally.
In an exhibition seven-inning
game the Conchs beat the Blue
Sox 6 to 2. Molina was touched
for IL hits while young Charles
Albury held the Sox to three
scattered hits. The Lastres'
brothers and Leo Stanley starred
for the winning club at bat.

TOOLAT TO
CLASSIFY

After reviewing my "Gal Fri
days" column of last week I've
about concluded that it is a
waste of time for me to be
struggling with a column and an
noying the customers with my
puny efforts when she can do so
much better.
What she said about the Kay
family being in a position to
really appreciate TWO Thanks
givings is indeed true and we
are mighty thankful to have
come through the experience as
well as we did. This business of
turning double somersaults in an
automobile isn't all it's cracked
up to be, even if it is plenty
cracked up.
Since jeanette gave you pref
ty accurate description of the
wreck, I'll not go into that
going through it is enough! Any
how, I'm back in circulation
again with only a few cuts and
bruises and while Mrs. Kay is
still in the hospital with bone
splinter that will have to mend
before she can do any "steppin'
OUT, I'm happy to report that
she is resting comfortably and
making progress toward recov-
cry.
Both of us are truly grateful
for the hundreds of phone calls,
kilograms, letters, flowers and
gifts that have poured in from
all over the state. Certainly no
one ever had more loyal or
thoughtful friends. It hasn't
been possible for us to personally
acknowledge these many ex-
pressions of cheer and friendship
as yet and so this column must
serve that end until time per-
mits a more personal reply.
In spite of the blowout patches
the doc plastered me with, was
able to take advantage of an
invitation from Senator Loftin to
join his party for a ride on the

GIRL STUDENTS
SERVED ROTARY
WAITRESS SCHOOL TO END
THIS WEEK: MANY
GET JOBS

The class of local girls engaged
in learning to be mattresses in
the State Vocational School here
served the weekly luncheon of
Rotary Club last Thursday noon
at ST. Paul's parish hall.
The class, under the super
vision of Miss Gertrude Laubsch-
er is sponsored by the state in
connection with the local Board
of Education and is engaged in
preparing a number of local girls
to be fitted for waitress work.
The movement is looked upon
with favor by local hotel and
restaurant operators, as in the
past there has been shortage
of experienced help in this field.
Several of the class members,
who had some experience,
have secured jobs already. The
school will continue for another
week. Last week Leo Braxton
Warren addressed the class on
floral arrangements for parties
and banquets.
