BASEBALL STEALS THE SHOW

The attention of many Americans are
now turned to the pennant races, with the
American League, for a change, furnish
ing the thrills of the season.
For years the New York Yankees held
a Strangle-hOld upon the pernant in the
Junior circuit but this year there is a diff
ferent story to tell. Cleveland, Detroit and
New York are fighting it out, on the home
stretch. The Yankees only in the running
by making a remarkably effective drive on
the turn.
Undoubtedly, baseball remains the
great pastime for many Americans. Foot
ball, with its more spectacular proceed
ings. has attracted millions of fans and has
about ousted baseball from the athletic
program of many small schools and COM
munities.
This is unfortunate, in the opinion of
this writer Baseball should not be over
looked by those interested in the young
people of today. The American Legion,
aided by the organized leagues, deserve
the thanks of the public for their fine work
in putting on the annual junior baseball
competition.
One reason why baseball has shown a
declining interest is in the failure of many
schools and communities to provide ade-
quate baseball fields for the young boys of
the proper age. Years ago any street, or
vacant lot, served as q baseball field but
the advent of automobile traffic and the
growth of towns has tended to restrict the
opportunities for playing this fine game.

CREDIT FOR SMALL BUSINESS

The difficulties of the small business
in securing adequate capital for the fl
nancing of its operations are under study
by the Temporary National Economic Com
mittee.
While the report will not be made
public until after the election. Senator
Joseph c. O'Mahoney, chairman of the
committee, points out that there are now
about 100000 business units in this coun-
try
One per cent of the total units, with
assets of more than S5,00O,000, employ
most Of the nations workers. More than
90 per cent Of the business units in the ma
ton have assets of less thar S250,000 and
constitute, in the opinion of the Senator,
'the most important segment of our ma
tiOnal economy"
Companies of LESS than S250,000 as
SETS which includes practically all enter
prises i'm Key West, experience difficulty
in securing necessary capital. The WyOm-
ing Senator suggests that local banks should
be encouraged by some legislation to make
adequate loans and that the establishment
OF feglOndl 1lldHce cOrpOTdIlOIlS through
government cooperation might purchase
preferred stock while permitting private
capital to provide the common stock, the
real venture capital. He finds that invest
ment banking appears to have played no
part in the financing of small business,
which often is unable to meet the lending
standards of commercial banks, although
they are vitally important to the localities
in which they operate.
The subject deserves some study by
the financial leaders of the nation but it is
evident that some source of capital, at
reasonable terms and under proper con-
ditions, is necessary if the sO-called small
business concerns of the nation are to con-
tirue to operate.

ANOTHER "NEW WEAPON"

A fair sample of the junk that is be-
ing published in this country from Berlin
was the recent dispatch, disclosing that the
German Navy is trying out new
weapon. which will surprise the world
This line of chatter has been coming

that the device is being tested in harbOr

Uncle Sam quit talking and be

The only reason bombs are not

Hitler and his cohorts have been
too busy elsewhere.
Nothing would please and de-

minute it won't come just as
quickly as the dictators feel
there is the slightest chance of

1t is all right TO talk about

Willkie, or Congress itself can't
do that if the other fellow is de-

Italy, Russia or Japan don't want

want is America-anj they'd
take it tomorrow if they could.
There would be no declaration
