Landis And Ripple Won World Series
 For Cincinnati
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

NOAAAOOO \ 4CSS 0btSA NVAkC COVO1ANACIkkI Cincinnati, Oct. 9-(UP)-Judge Landis and Jimmy Ripple won the worlds championship for the Reds.
 Five weeks ago the "Ol' Judge" dug back in his files and consulted bulletin he issued in August, 1898, and then dispatched this telegram to the Montreal International League club:
 Have player Ripple report to the Cincinnati Reds immediately" The commissioners verdict enabled the Reds to obtain Ripple on waivers from the Brooklyn Dodgers via Mon- treal, where Brooklyn farmed him out. The price was $7,5O0-very cheap, as it turned out.
 Ripple reported the next day and played against his former Brooklyn teammates, thus beating the Worlds Series eligibility deadline by two days. If Landis hadn't acted prompt ly the World Series would have been far different story.
 Money Ball.
 Ripple delivered the poke that brought the Reds their first title in 21 years. It was @ double of the right field screen in the seventh inning of the final game yesterday. Frank Mccormick led of the inning with double, and scored on Rip ple's. Then Ripple advanced to third on sacrifice and scored on Billy Myers long fly to deep center.
 Ripple not only made the mon ey hit" but he made the series greatest catch, the liner he speared oil Billy Sullivan in the sixth game. He made IA putoutS without an CT. TOT, scored the winning run in the deciding game and drove in six runs to tie Greenberg and Higgins of the Tigers for this honor.
 Gets Half Share.
 Not exactly bad for an unwanted outhelder who'll reach his 3lst birth day next Monday. Ripple received only half-share in thes Worlds Series melon. On his play, he de- serves Q double share.
 The morning before he delivered the hit that brought the title back to the National League, Ripple was in the Reds clubhouse asking the other players for autographs on bats and balls. That explains Ripple's temperament. He was thankful to be on Q pennant-wlnning club again he played on the Giants of le30 and lea7-and wasn't sure the base- ball fates would ever give him an- other chance to get autographs from championship teammates.
 Bill McKechnie and all the other Reds ought to look lip redheaded Jimmy today and get his autograph especially the one he gave to Eobo Nowsom's Sunday pitch in the sev- 0nth.

Ocean Channel Saved :Austrolio's Kongoroos

A USTRALIA contributes an-
 other unusual animal to the Iphilatelic zoo in the kangaroo, pic- tured on the stamp above. This marsupial and many of it's smaller cousins are found only in Austra- lia and nearby islands.
 A narrow, deep ocean channel between Bali and Lonbok saved the kangaroo from extinction be- fore the advent of man. This barrier protected Australia's un- usual animals from the higher type, placental mammals that dominate Europe and Asia.
 At one time, kangaroos were plentiful; today, their numbers are rapidly decreasing, as are their relatives, the tree kangaroos. There are. 60 types of kangaroos.
 The kangaroo at birth is less than two inches long, makes its way unassisted to the mothers pouch, where it remains for sev- eral months. The adult kangaroo is characterized by long, power full hind legs, short forearms and broad, heavy tail. Full grown animals reach a height of four to Eve feet. weigh 200 pounds.

BONNIE GOES HUNTING
CHAPTER "

For long moment Ronica Bailey concentrated on the hole in her cabin window.
 It was a bullet hole, unmistak- ably. Anyway, she had seen the sudden little spurts of flame from the mems guns. Five guns fired at her by five men she had found walking across the rocky cactus studded desert.
 What ev-er!" she murmured that to herself, subconsciously handling her controls to life the powerful monoplane out of range
 Once more she looked down. ward. The five men had stopped shooting, but they had begun to run like so many excited insects. She studied the landscape care fully, with glasses and without. Nowhere was there house, road, windmill, any human sign save those five men.
 She, fumbled in a side pocket of her cabin and pulled out her own expensive pearl-handled pistol, gift from her dad. She could shoot it and shoot, accurately, too, for she had a target range in her basement at home. On the other hand
 That's foolish" she told herself now. "Whyever should I fight back at them?"
 She reholstered the gun and ac- celerated her motor into a smooth, powerful crescendo that lifted her skyward. Then she leveled off, made a big curve and streaked like a phantom rabbit for home. The ship responded to her slightest touch, moved with astonishing speed and ease; that was why she loved it.
 But the wind still lingering at her through the bullet hole served to heighten her indignation, too.
 Who would dare shoot at 8 Bailey? Or, for that matter, who would dare shoot at any airplane in the United States of America? This country wasn't at war! This country clung to freedom; and mo- body, official or otherwise, had a right to shoot at a pleasure plane.
 It did not occur to Ronica to be offended because the five men had shot at a girl. She didn't think of herself as girl, she thought of her. self as a citizen, an individual. And the more she thought the angrier she became.
 In no time at all the earth-carpet rol2ed under her to reveal a new pattern including the little town of Pueblo and its college, and eight miles to one side she could spot her fathers new ranch. She shifted her direction, still roaring, gunned her ship downward, and edged off just enough to land easily on the broad mesa her father had caused to be marked as private landing field. Her mechanic sensed trouble before she touched earth and he came running.
 What happened, Miss Ronica?" he demanded.
 That ships fine, Barton. But - where's GNddy?"
 Tn the porch hammock. He's still saddle sore"
 She went to him and told him what had occurred. MT. Bailey re- fused to be excited.
 Probably hunters, and you scared off their game,'' he suggested. Why don't you get a book and relax, daughter? Or study up on your"

Pueblo, she found. Not even a deputy. But there was a constable and a branch office at the United States Immigration and Naturali- zation Service. The constable sent her to the latter place, where she met Inspector Sheridan Starr.
 No doubt about it, Miss Bailey" Officer Starr said, earnestly. They were aliens slipping in from Mexico. Now from your description of the country think can go right out there and"
 T couldn't see any sign of a road,' she declared.
 No. But I can drive to The Tanks, where we keep a few sad- dle horses. Faithful old Mexican in charge. Then I can ride horse back and maybe pick up the mems trail. Thanks again. I'll shove right off"
 He started to his car, and when he had settled behind the steering wheel Ronica Bailey was beside him.
 Hey" he began, surprised, you can't go along. What meant vas"
 Hush" she smiled at him. T wouldn't miss it"
 They argued briefly, and the man lost. Men always lost arguments with Ronica Bailey. The big officer, duly married and a father of two little boys, was distinctly ill at ease with a college girl until Ronnie just out talked him.
 "Lordy, miss!" MT. Starr said, eventually. T didn't know dude girls come like you. You-fact is, you remind me lot of my wife She's got spunk, too. But see here-you have to mind me when we get to the horses"
 "Oh, of course, MT. Starr
 
 | The ride out was almost an hour and Ronica had ample chance then to get acquainted with the country from a man who really knew it Sheridan Starr was big-shoulder- ed, big-hatted, big-hearted officer who had known long service on the Border Patrol, and he seemed to be intimate with every nook and cranny of this Southwestern arid land. He told Ronnie a lot about her college His conversation was rich with the lore of the region, spiced with ad- venture and interests quite foreign to her New York background.
 At The Tanks he strapped a rifle and holster on his saddle, filled his pistol cartridge belt, and again bade Ronnie goodby.
 If I'm not back by nightfall," |" said he, you take the car and go home, then send a man back to help me"
 But he hadn't ridden out of sight until Ronnie had a second horse under saddle-she vince dled the old Mexican man there and was trailing Officer Starr. She realized he would never tol- crate her close to him now, for here at hand was the country where she had been shot at by the five aliens. She marveled that he expected to make an arrest alone, wherefore she had to-simply had to!-follow him and see whatever was to be seen. She kept just out of sight.
 Daddy will skin me for this" she told herself, and admitted that he ought to.
 She pulled up when she saw Starr dismount behind mesquite brush, then creep to a ridge to peer over, from a prone position. His rifle remained on his horse, but all at once eshe saw him unholster a pistol. She knew he had spotted the five men!
 He circled briefly, then went out of sight. Ronnie crept up to, the ridge herself. She saw nothing at first, and she just lay there nursing sense of excitement and guilt,

FARLEY DISCUSSES
U. S. in BUSINESS
Presents Bill OF Rights
For Governments Rela-
tions With Industry

WINSTON-SALEM, Jan. 24-R
Postmaster General Farley out
lined tonight his idea of a bill of
rights for government in bust
ness.
He said in a speech prepared for
the annual dinner of the Winston
Salem chamber of commerce he had
no sympathy with the theory that
government and. business are nat
urally arrayed in hostile camps"
Government must look with clear
vision and embrace within its
broad scope the employer, employe,
stockholder and, finally the whole
public"
MY conception of government in
business is that government should
act as all umpire and we all know
that the first duty of an umpire
is fair play and no %favorites, to
call fouls when fouls are commit
ted, and to follow the ball without
prejudice or bias.
This general statement regard
ing industry and its allied rela-
lions is capable of expansion and
more detailed outline but it repre-
sents my view of the bill of rights
for fair and reasonable treatment,
and I believe constitutes the basis
of liberal, mutual and successful
operation of American industry"
Referring to the relationship be-
tween industry and agriculture,
Farley said he had been collecting
material for sometime to express
his views on this subject without
saying anything about politics.
eff I get through this speech
without a political tinge," he said
"some people will doubtless think
that such performance is, in itself,
highly political.
