Victory Lets Dodgers
Take on New Hone
In Pennant Chase
by the Assoeiotsd Press

1t is doubtful today if any major
league baseball manager ever bowed
out with more satisfaction than
William B. Williamsburg BilD Nc
Kechnie, erstwhile boss of the Gin
cinnati Reds.
McKechnie managed his last
game for the Reds last night. He
was fired" three days ago. His final
act as the Redleg boss was to mas
termind his hirelings to a 60 VIC
tory over the st. Louis Cardinals
an act which might cause the Brook
lyn Dodgers team Bill admits he
dislikes-to nose out the club he
formerly managed for the National
League flag.
McKechnie knew full we'll that the
Dodgers, who earlier in the season
he had accused Of dirty playing
against his Reds, had lost, 11-9, to
the Philadelphia Phillies. A St.
Louis victory would just about seal
Brooklyn's pennant hopes as it
would give the Cards a two-game
advantage with only three games
left.
Walters Pitches Great Game.
He nominated Bucky Walters, al
ways tough cookie for the Cards,
to pitch. Walters pitched one of
the finest games of the season to
blank the Birds with seven hits.
Twice McKechnie signaled for sac
rif1ces and each time it paid of. In
the ninth, even through the Reds
owned a 80 lead, he ordered Bobby
Adams to bunt Ed Lukon to second
so that single would give Gin
cinnatl an insurance run. He Or
dered Bob Usher, a fast man. to
run for Lukon and, sure enough,
Bert Haas came through with a
single to score Usher. The defeat
left the Cards still one game ahead
Of the Dodgers.
Brooklyn, showing signs of crack
ing under the terrific strain of
chasing the Cardinals, blew a three
run lead in the ninth when the Phils
came up with five runs to win. AL
together the Dodgers used eight
pitchers to set new league record.
Scoring five runs in the first
inning, the Boston Baves dead
locked the Chicago. Cubs for third
place by defeating the New York
Giants, 6-5. The Cubs lost a 16-
inning game to Pittsburgh by a SIM
liar score when Billy Cox singled in
Lee Handley. Ralph Kiner took over
the National League home run lead
ership with his 23d home run.
Feller Six Short of Strikeout Tie.
Bobby Feller famed 10 to boost
his seasons strikeout total to 337,
only 6 short of Rube Waddell's
listed record. However, Feller once
again received poor hitting support
from his mates and dropped Al
decision to Joe Haynes and the
Chicago White Sox.
Despite Hank Greenberg's 42d
home run, the Detroit Tigers were
beaten by the st. Louis Browns, 81,
as the Browns Vern Stephens
clouted homer and two singles.
Joe Dobson pitched the American
League champion Boston Red Sox
to their 103d victory with a five-hit
So win over the New York Yankees.

Raising Money
To Aid Illegal
Entry OF Jews
(By Associated Pressl

JERUSALEM, Sept. Ito
day a group of Jews announced
that it was raising money to aid
in the illegal entry of Jews into
Palestine.
Quota of Jews permitted to en-
ter Palestine is fixed at 1900
monthly, but the council asserted
that the colonization of that part
of Palestine assigned the Jews
is proceeding too slowly at that
rate.
1t was added that, as the Brit
ish government had refused
repeatedly to increase the num-
Der of the quota, the council,
therefore, would assist financial
ly in every other way to open
Palestine to European Jews.
Council of conservative Jews
disclaimed any knowledge of the
robbing of banks last week in
Jaffa and Tel Aviv. The council
said that the robberies were COM
mitted by bandits, and that the
council had nothing whatever to
do with those crimes.

rare emergency.
The city manager said he is
employed by the commissioners,
and if his opinion is asked, and
an ordinance is passed contrary
to his wishes, he will still see that
the orders are carried out. They
are the bosses, he said, and the
elected representatives of the
people of Key West.

Set Fire Early This
Morning Caused $500
/" To $4,000 Damage Here
2 All 1.2n n'clnck this z

A "set" fire at 100 o'clock this
morning, ragged through the John
w. Frow residence at 1924 Will
liam street, causing an estimated
$4,000 to $4,000 damage.
1t took two fire-fighting COM
panies about an hour to COM
pletely subdue the blaze. No. 3
fire station apparatus, nearest
to the blaze, arrived first, follow
ed by equipment from No. sta
ton shortly thereafter.
Leroy Torres, chief of the
fire department, announced today
that the fire was absolutely a
set one,'' judging from evidence
found. Chief Torres fears that
this may be the work of the
fire bug who set fire to the
Gardner store on White street
three months ago and who re-
Gently was active in the down
town district only three or four
blocks away from City Hall.
Torres said that the house had
been broken into and that a ra-
dio and a pistol had been stolen.
The radio was later, found but
the pistol is still on the missing
list.
The sheriff's office, chief of
police and fingerprint expert,
Roy Hamlin, are all investigating
at the scene of the crime, and an
arrest may be made shortly, it
was stated.
The Frow residence was in
sured for $500 with the Atlantic
Mutual Insurance Co, and the
owner has been out of town for
the past week.
Hamlin said today that he
expected to get "a latent print
of the fingerprints and if they
are identical with any on file at
his offices, he would swear out
a warrant for the arSonist's ar
rest. Hamlin emphasized that
although many fingerprints are
strikingly similar, no two are
Identical.
Hamlin said if the latent prints
do not match any on file locally,
then they will be sent to the
F. B. /. offices in Washington for
further Identification.

Second Road
Test Is Not
Satisfactory

Robert Dopp, director of pub
lie service, last month stated
that a six-month test had been
completed with by-product of
manufactured city gas that had
proved satisfactory for use on
mari roads.
This by-product had been do
mated to the city of Key West by
the Key West Gas company.
Today, Dopp said that after a
one-month trial on two blocks
between White and Tropical
streets, the method had proved
unsatisfactory.
Dopp attributed the negative
result on the second street as pos
sibly due to the heavy rain that
ensued right after the street was
completed with the new gas by
product. Right now tar is COM
ing to the surface. while the first
trial street remains as hard az
asphalt.
Will Try Again
Not to be discouraged so easily,
the public service director will
scarify, grade and roll the two
blocks in an effort to show the
same results as on the first six
month trial test.
