NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-New
York Yankees hit another snag
in their pennant-drive yesterday.
Defeating the Yanks for the first
time this year, Tommy Bridges
did it the hard way-blanking
them for nine innings. Mean
while, Detroit Tigers were
pounding the ball for a total of
Is safeties to come out victorious,
80. The victory kept the Ben
gals at the top of the American
League and dropped the world s
champions three games in the
rear of the leaders.
Cleveland Indians stayed right
with Detroit by also winning a
shutout affair. Al Milnar of the
Tribe and Jim Bagby of the Bos-
ton Red Sox engaged in a tight
pitchers duel, the former allow
ing three hits and the latter just
two. However, one of the In
dams pair of safe blows was
double by Boudreau in the fourth
Weatherly home with
the lone marker of the game.
Chicago White Sox are now in
sole possession of fourth place in
the junior circuit. They downed
the Philadelphia Athletics in
both ends of a twin bill, 6-2 and
8-3, while the Bosox were bowling
to Cleveland. Brancato, AS

when he miscued three times in

Dorothy Bundy, danghter OF
May Sutton Bundy. one OF
Americas greatest women ten
nists and winner of a flock OF
tennis cups herself, has ambi-
tionS to chalk up other scores to
her credit besides victories on
the courts.
Twenty -four-year-old ''Dodo"
whose mother held both Ameri-
can and British women'S singles
championships shortly after the
opening of the century, is sixth
ranking woman tennis player in
the United States. She loves ten
his and hopes to keep on playing
for years, but she also wants to
take a flyer in educational fields.
First, she wants a college de-
gree.
Next, she plans to study music
piano, violin and voice.
Finally, she longs to travel
around the world-preferably en-
tirely by boat.
To date, tennis has pushed that
program aside.
Dorothy Bundy could scarcely
have escaped tennis, for both her
parents gained fame on the
courts. Her mother, especially
famous for her forehand, won the
American womeh's singles cham
pionship in 1904 and the British
women's singles championship at
Wimbledon in 1905 and '07. Her
father. Tom Bundy, was a dou-
bles champion with Maurice Nc
Loughlin.
Started AT Age Of 8
Dodo, at the age of 8, began
playing tennis with her brothers.
She PLAYED a lot of tennis up and
down the Pacific Coast and at 10
came east to try her luck. That
first year 1885 she won over
Sarah Palfrey in the National
Championship and gained No. 8
ranking among the couhtry's
women players.
The next year she defeated
Champion Alice Marble in the
quarter-finals of the women's
singles at Forest Hills and, though
she went down in the semi-finals,
she moved up to No. 3 ranking.
... After that she won the. Wom
ems Singles Championship of
Australia in 1893, and, with Mary
Arnold, won one of the Wight
man Cup doubles matches at For
est Hills in 1899.
Last summer Dorothy met some
defeats and slipped back to No.
6 ranking. but in August, 1910.
she placed herself once more in
winners ranks by annexing the
Woodin Gold Cup.
There are points of similarity
and points of difference in her
game as compared to that of her
famous mother. Old-timers recall
May Sutton Bundy as a hard hit
ting player who liked the back
court and smashed her forehand
drives across the net. They say

fourth defeat in a row as the
Cincinnati Reds romped home to
victory, So, yesterday. Carl
Hubbell, who started on the
mound for the New Workers, was
belted out of the box. The win
kept the Redbirds eight-and-a-
half games in front of the Brook
lyn Dodgers, who took the Pitts
burgh Pirates into camp, 81. A
six-run rally in the sixth inning
clinched the contest for the Flat
bush nine and gave rookie Ed
Head his first major league vic
tory. Bucs have dropped three
straight games to the Rhine
landerS. ..
Two home runs by Joe Marty
and a four-hit pitching perform
ance by Kirby Higbe brought a
81 triumph to the Philadelphia
Phillies over the Chicago Cubs.
Lon Warneke hung up his 18th
win of the season as he scattered
Boston Bees eight hits while his
teammates amassed ii Safeties
off four opposing moundsmen to
annex the contest, 9-3. Cooney
accounted for a trio of the Bees
safe blows.

Sales Tax Slipping

1t is generally agreed among tax ex-
perts that sales taxes are among the least
desirable of taxes, and ought never to be
imposed unless there is no other way.
The reason, of course, is that nearly every
cent collected through them is direct
deduction from purchasing power, and
that they fall with unfair heavinesS on
those whose income is smallest.
Thus it is interesting to note, as the
Federation of Tax Administrators have
done, that Louisiana is the eighth state
to abandon them. New York, Vermont,
New Jersey, Idaho, Kentucky, Maryland,
and Oregon preceded Louisiana in aban-
doning state sales taxes after trial. LouiSi-
ana went further, and rescinded the
authority granted to New Orleans to
levy municipal sales tax.
Widespread sales taxes were a child
of the depression. To see them gradually
being abandoned at a time when the ma
tional government faces tremendous
arms expenditures, is cheering sign
that states are doing their share by max
ing the state tax burden less onerous
when the national burden is bound to
grow.

Ready To Come Home

Every American citizen on the British
Isles had chance to clear out long be-
fore Nazi bombers began their destruc-
tive excursions over England. Most OF

They've had enough now Embassy Of
ficials in London report constant and
feverish appeals from stranded Ameri-
cans for safe passage to the United States.
About all the Embassy can says is, ''We're
sorry, we told you so, but there aren't
any boats headed for home just now"
They have learned, these Americans,
that it isn't Fourth of July fireworks

over there to represent dead civilians as

had every bud pinched off except
one. Abraham Lincoln was an ex-
ample. His life grew In the ashes of

No one can deny that> st. Paul's
life grew out of the ashes of re-

hardship, and he declared that he
counted all things lost for the excel

Destruction

Somehow the idea got about that the
present war, because of it's breath-taking
brevity, has been less destructive than
that of 1914-1918. Then comes an in
conspicuous little item from Vichy that
France must rebuild 5000 bridges merely
to assure normal resumption Of traffic.
Six thousand bridges! How many
bridges are there in the town you know
best? Imagine the strain on the COM
munity of rebuilding them all this year.
Multiply that by hundreds and thous-
ands. Then remember that your total
is just bridges. Roads, telephone and
telegraph lines, buildings, public and pri-
vate-all these add to the heap of ruins.
This single month of active war did
to France. Britain and Germany are
now inflicting on each other this same
sort of mutual destruction. To keep this
from the United States, many sacrifice
is justified.

Are You a Successophile

Right off the bat we ought to explain
that there isn't any such word. But II
word were to be made up to describe the
fellow who worships success, any kind OF
success, attained by any means at all, that
might be it, Right now we are IN
danger of developing too many people OF
this type. We've all heard the kind OF
person who looks at Europe with popeyed
wonder, and mutters to himself, Gosh!
You've really got to hand it to that fell
low Hitler, don't you? He sure has put
it over He must have something's" This
train of thought is very easy to fall into
these days. But it is dangerous. There
is nothing in success itself that deserves
worship, or even respect. The thing to
ask is, s'What sort of success was sought?"
and, s.How was it achieved?" It is GER
tainly true that the military accomplish
mentS of Hitler'S Germany, strictly as
military accomplishments, are magnifi-
cent. German army has been devel-
oped which no one has yet been able to
resist.
Questions: How worthy an object is
that? How has that served, the world
and it's people? Question again: How
was it done? At what cost, and by what
means? The answer is simple: By
channeling an unheard-of percentage of
the productive ability of the German
people into building military machine.
BY making every man a soldier and train
ing him for periods of time and with a
thoroughneSS which other nations were
unwilling to adopt. The other nations
were reluctant to believe that men were
made for this.
Suppose the United States had en-
barked in 1888 on similar course. Sup
pose that instead of providing jobs and
SuStenance to an average of 100000
people it had simply clapped them all in
to the army? Suppose that instead OF
building 457 900 miles of roads and $4,000
public buildings, we had built military
highways and tanks and barracks? Sup
pose that instead OF building Boulder Dam
and Grand Coulee anG Bonneville and Fort
Peck, we had built planes and battleships?
Does anyone suppose that we could not
by now have blitZkrieged Canada and
Mexico and subjected the hemisphere to
our will? OF course we could. But I'M
der our democratic way, We chose other
detectives Perhaps we should have di-
verted more of our energies to military
ends, less TO the ways OF peace. In view
OF what has happened since, most Amer
leans now agree TO that.
But the democratic way, even though
II has devoted itself TO peaceful objec-
lives, has shown even In those tre-
aendous power. That power Is now

writings and occasionally it is
heard in speech.
The increasing use Of "and or"
in scientific works prompts cor
respondent of Science to suggest
dropping the virgule and thus de-
liberately coming the word "andor."
His argument is that the symbol
looks untidy and unusual. But that,
one would think, is precisely why it
ought to be used, at least until the
locution is good deal more COM
monty employed than it now is. The
reader does not stumble at land or
because the bizarre symbol iden-
titles it. If he came up against
"andor" he would invariably have
to read the sentence twice before
he understood it, and then mentally
supply the missing mark.
The day may come when ''andor"
in writing or speech. will be as IA
miliar as an old shoe, but that day
is not yet. Until 1t comes let us con-
tinue to hang a danger signal in
the middle of the expression. Let
not the impatient men of science
try to hurry the language too much.

The Independent Voter

Our heart goes out to the independent
voter. His is the task, the toll and the
worry of searching through the maze OF
chaff and dust to seek the truth so that
he may chart his course through the Vot-
ing machine in November On him de-
scend the torrents of words, spoken and
written, extolling the virtues of one candi-
date and excoriating the faults OF the
other. He it is whose soul is rent by the
thorns of indecision, who painfully re-
solves his doubts and who hopes against
hope of ultimately arriving at a correct
answer.
How happy to such tortured soul
must seem the lot of the voter whose party
loyalty never wavers, whose fixed star OF
mind sees only saints under his own party
ensign and only demons under the BAN
ner of his opponent? Yet if the path IS
rough, the independent voter has the con-
ISOLATION of knowing that he and his KIND
decide most national elections. 1t is their
study, their searchings, their long consld-
erations of men and issues that weigh
heavy in the scales of final choice.
Our own mind is made up and I'M
less something entirely unforeseen occurs
is likely to remain unchanged. The 1nde-
pendent voter must worry on, aided or
hindered by the thrust and parry, charge
and counter-charge, advance and retreat
of the embattled forces. Were we asked to
direct the independent voter to two clear
and able editorial expositions of the rea-
sons for supporting one presidential can
didate or the other, we should recon-
mend that of the New York Times dated
September 20, 1910, for Wendell Willkie
and that of the Louisville Journal
Courier, dated September 26, 1910, for
President Roosevelt. If after reading both
editorials he still is undecided then his
plight is really sad.
