Amer. Records Are
 Down in '39
Only 46 Spectacular lnti. dents Put Down on
 Season s Ledger

CHICAGO, IL, Dec. 23.-Record- breaking was somewhat on the down side in the American League in 1889 compared with the season of 1888 A various assortment of sixty-four records were engraved on the ledg- CT in 1888, whereas in 1889 the to- tai diminished to forty-six.
 AS might be expected the World Champion New York Yankees set the pace in establishing new records, both for team and individual play. Most important of the new figures was the performance of the Yan- kees in breaking the American League record and equalling the modern major league mark of four straight pennants. The Tanks also won their fifth world series in four straight games, the 1889 World Ser les finding them with a team bat
The Daily Alaska empire., 1939-12-26

ting average of only .206 and with cnly sixteen men left on bases in four games.
 Outstanding Feats
 Other outstanding feats of the Yankees during the season in the realm of new major league records included most home runs and most total bases in a single game and most home runs in double header. In the first game of their twin bill with the Athletics on June 28, the champions shattered a major mark with eight round-trippe~s. Five more circuit smashes in the second game enabled the champs to top their own previous major league record for most homers in two con- secutive games which they had set in 1886 with eleven. The Yankees also reaped fifty-three total bases, which was three more than their own league standard established in 1882.
 
 The Yankee season of 1899 also saw Attley Donald setting a record of twelve straight wins for first year pitcher. The year of 1939 also regrettably marked the close of Lou Gehrig's remarkable string of 2,130 consecutive games.
 During the season, for the tenth time in history the New York super club blasted three home runs in a single inning. The champions ac- complished this rare feat in suc- cession in the game of June 28 against the Macks.

 in which the ball carrier has one thing in mind but makes believe he is planning something else. The Bundster was convicted of crime against the people in taking Bund funds. but it is a safe bet that most of the people wouldn't have cared a whoop if he had spent all the Bund funds, down to the last dollar.
 Cases even fuller of contradictions are those of Earl Browder, General Secretary of the Communist Party of America, and Harry Bridges, the West Coast labor leader. Probably the same classes of people are sour ed on those two that soured on the Bund business. Your average cus- toner, including this one, couldn't draw an extremely wide and clear line between Communism and Ma ziism, particularly of late. There was widespread national annoy ance at the whole business.
 And what method was adopted to do something about it.?
 Browder was a known Commun- ist. He had run for President on the Communist ticket. Before a Congressional committee he conced- ed there was a fairly close tie up between his organization and the Russian original. But, it seems there was no law against that Tn MT. Providers case it was quite legal to be Communist. Nevertheless. one of the things developed was that Browder had travelled in Eu- rope on passport not bearing his true name. For that he was in- dicted. He is yet to be tried.

SPORT TOPS
 GET LAURELS PAST SEASON
Results of Associated Press Poll Are Announced
 One Surprise

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Remem- Der back on November 4, when an Illinois eleven that had been beat en three times and tied by little Bradley rose up and smashed mighty Michigan l6 to ' to con- found the nations football experts?
 Well, for their valor on that day the pupils of Coach Bob Zuppke have been awarded the laurel by 86 experts voting in the Associated Press annual poll to select the biggest upset, or sur prise, of the 1889 sports season.
 In the opinion of the voters, this sudden uprising of the Illini outdid in magnificence both the surpris- ing comeback of Iowa on the grid iron and Tony Galento's breath taking fights against Champion Joe Louis and Lou Nova.
 On the basis of three points for a first-place selection, two for sec ond and one for third. Illinois vic- tory scored 9714 points, to 95 for Iowa and 532 for the Gallant Tony. Illinois polled 27 first-place votes, Iowa 25 and Galento 8.
 For the benefit of those who do not recall the dtails, Illinois had been trounced by Southern Cali fornia, Northwestern and Indiana and deadlocked by Bradley when the day of its big game with Mich igan dawned On the other hand, the Wolverines, with Tom Harmon running wild, had rolled over Michigan State, Iowa and Yale, had slaughtered Chicago 85 to 0, and were considered hot stuff.
 Sleeper" Play
 The first period was scoreless, the Michigan fans figuring merely that their boys were a trifle slower than usual in getting warmed up. But in the second quarter Illinois broke loose the old sleeper" play to score a touchdown and give Michigan jolt from which 1t never recovered. A field goal in ,he same quarter and another touchdown later on made the vic- tory concusive.
 Iowa received votes both for it's inc season in general and for its ' to upset of Notre Dame in par ticular. Galento's admirers backed him both for his knockdown of Louis and for his bloody knockout of Lou Nova in Philadelphia.
 Brooklyns thrilling rise to third place in the National League gained four first-place votes and total of 261a points, while the Yankees four straight over Gin cinnati in the World Series also was voted first place on four bal lots and a total of p points. The St. Louis Cardinals rise to second place in the National League was good for three first-place votes. DIR. STEyE>, CHIROPODIST, lakes Arch Appliances to measure affice. 10 Valentine Bldg.

CAPoNE TRIPPEp UP

The case of Al Capone is one of different flavor, but the law came in through the back gate to get him, also. As the principal racket eer of the tempesutuos Twenties, he was suspected of all sorts of crimes. While members of his war; ious "mobs" were caught up time after time. Capone escaped, rarely even being questioned.
 But the mass feeling that 'some- thing ought to be done about it. found expression in an odd way. He was convicted of income tax chisel- ing and served a term in hard boiled Alcatraz, where mighty few other tax dodgers have been sent.

but while he has lived 20 years in the United States he never has be- come citizen. If it could be dem- cnstrated that he was the sort of Communist who advocated the over throw of the government by force, he would likely be deported. Dean Landis of the Harvard Law school is passing on that business now. He conducted the hearing.
