seasoning with good minor league
teams.
Let's illustrate it. There's a guy
named Priddy who's the hottest ar
ticle in the American Association
now. He was in the Piedmont
League last year with Estalella,
BloodWorth, Early and Prichard and
. those four kids had it all over him.
But Priddy is being moved up
gradually and he's bound to improve
on the way He's helping himself
and the major league club that's
gonna get him. BY the time he's
advanced to the majors you can tell
whether or not he's going TO click
in real company.
Sure, there are some exceptions
as in anything else. George Case is
one of them. He made the jump
from Trenton and hit .305 his first
year. but even Case might have i'm
proved with a fast minor league
team. I notice where they're just
discovering he isn't much of CEN
terflelder. You're supposed to know
things like that about players be-
fore they step into big league ball.
1T all adds up to the fact that
the clubs who develop their pros
poets normally figure to have better
chances than those that don't. You
can't make men of mice

Needed One Two Punch
To Kill MOSQUITO

Back in New York I killed a
mosquito once. But I had to one
two him to death. He kept getting
up off the floor. He was a little
mosquito, too. Sickly, from child
hood. That's the way I hit.
mo, will tell you how this holo-
caust came off. know this Ee-tore
is slipping. He's more than a little
punchy. Or else, why would fight
him? My feminine public would
holler murder if I fought guy
who could damage my profile
Some people will tell you that my
profile already is down to bedrock,
but the feminine public don't know
that. They think it can be foither
damaged. That's ridiculous, pal, on
the face of it, but that's how they
feel. So I have to be careful who
I fight.
Il take this Ee-tore because 1 know
a good breeze will blow him over.
And a good breeze does. 1 don't
know whether it was that westerly
wind off the ocean or the time I
took a full wind-up in the second
round and missed him. 1t might
OF been either one.

Fighting to Make Dough,

Did Ee-tore dive? Now there
said Mr.. Rosenbloom, plaintively,
''you bring up a question of ettics
which is unfair to neither me or
the party of the second part. Would
I be party to fixed fight? I
haven't done any such thing in"
Mr.. Rosenbloom paused to count
on his fingers.
We'll, in two years, anyways" he
continued. Listen, pally, where
would I get the dough to fix a
fight? I'm fighting to make dough,
not to give it away.
Now" concluded Mr.. Rosen-
bloom, "the logical fight is between
me and Joe Louis, out here on the
coast. I'm sensational out here.
We would draw half million
smackers. And what a fight that
would be! What a battle! Can
you imagine it?" said Mr.. Rosen-
bloom, his sense of humor getting
the best OF him. 1T would be
moider!"
In recognition of Mr.. Rosen-
blooms services to stage. screen and
prize ring, the State of California
paid him his end of the purse and
refused to pay Mr.. Ettore, who went
OF still mumbling that he didn't
dive, he was pushed.
This fearsome carnage deserves
editorial comment, and what 1 have
to say is. if Make didn't pay Ettore
to go down, he was a sucker. Can
you depend on those westerly
breezes? No, sir! No one ever won
a bet on the weather in Southern
California.

I have seen Make on the screen,
and know for fact that now you
can understand two or three out
of every five words he speaks. That's
what art will do for man. 1t was
different in the old days, when Mr..
Rosenbloom and your correspondent

pied adjoining family pews in the
barber shop. In those days Makes

shampoo and once-over lightly
was Observation-Disclosures
Make knew what he meant, and
1t always surprised him when what
he got was a manicure.
Anyway. there is swath Of Smith
field ham foot wide through
Make, and nowadays he speaks very
plainly. He spoke plainly of the
Ettore fight.
It's this way" said the man
with the concave Barrymore profile.
'Ee-tore says it was either the
climate or the way hit him. Well,
like you say, it must of been the
climate. The way I hit him! Holy
smoke. there's laugh for you! Bob
Olin would die laughing if he heard
that one. So would Make Baer.

BACKGROUND
OF THE WAR
Digest Of War News
From All Fronts
A TOUGH JOB

A half million men may have
to die to crack the German west
ern front. Anyone who has seen
working model of the fortifica-
tons on the western front in
Europe can understand why the
generals and soldiers on both
! sides are not any too anxious to
get down to blood and thunder.
Any military expert will tell YOU
;; that the attacker is going to lose
four men to the defenders one.
More likely, it will be ten to one.
The Germans are reported to
have lost 100000 men to take
Verdun in the World War. Even
if the British and French break
through they will still find them
selves on the west bank of the
Rhine barred from the heart of
Germany by the secondary de-
Tense behind the Rhine between
Mannheim and Essen and prob
ably too exhausted to exploit
their initial victory. But if it
fails, consider losing 100000 men
without winning the battle.

Two important matters came

ing the subject of who spon-
sored the editorial appearing in
the Miami Herald this morning
lSept. Isl concerning the Over
seas Highway and State Road
Department." President Isadore
Weintraub was in the chair.
The other topic concerned an
investigation as 10 why the City
Council was not operating under
the New Charter.
Many of the items appearing in
the questioned editorial stated
that the Jaycees would take GER
tain action in regard to the Over
seas Highway and would ask
why the highway is not being
constructed from Big Pine Key
to Key West. Hunter Hardin,
club member, volunteered the
information that he had con-
tscted member OF the Herald
force and that his query had been
greatly enlarged upon" by some
person in statements to the
author of the article.
State Aid Sought
The upshot of the whole matter
was that the members voted to
wire State Jacyees' president,
Campbell Thornal, a plea for en-
liStment of all Florida JayceeS in
eXpediting completion of the
highway. The State Road De-
partment was also to receive a
communication from the local
club.
On motion, which was unani-
mously passed, all members of
the Key West Jaycees plan to be
in attendance at the next regular
City Council meeting to ask the
councilmen why the city is not
operating under the New City
Charter. Discussion before the
motion was put concerned the
one hundred per cent. endorse
ment of the new instrument by
the Jaycees at previous meet
ing and the unanimous belief of
all present that the new charter
was a law by virtue of its legal
passage by the State Legislature.

THE MASTER MIND


When the light strikes his face
right, Maurice Gamelin, the
Allies master mind, looks like
the cowardly lion in The Wizard
of Or. Under the light of the
lamps at home he looks like a
mild, rather stern little business
man. So much for appearances,
now for his record on which he
stands: From the age of 20
months when his mother painted
picture of him in his lace trim
med dress beating a toy drum,
Gamelin has been a soldier.
There have been five French
generals in his family. When a
student he immersed himself in
the career of the great Napoleon.
At st. Cyr, the West Point of
France, he was graduated first in
a class of more than 400. He
was 81 then in 1893. Then he
went to Algeria for three years
of wild campaigning. There fol-

INTERNATIONAL LAW

What does the President mean
when he suggests that the U. S.
fall-back on international law in
preference to the neutrality act
designed for this country alone?
International law is built UP
usually in peace and then shat
tered during war. Even in war,
though, there is strict adherence
to great part of it. Rules re-
specting aerial warfare are so
new that they do not carry the
force of long custom and use that
has been established in other
branches of international law.
The Presidents neutrality act
proposed in the last session of
Congress was based largely on
international law.
