 ROUNDUP
BY HUGH FULLERTON

LEXINGTON, Ky, May ll.-In friendly spirit, Baseball Commis- sioner Happy Chandler sounded of about the weakness of college base ball in speaking to the College Spcrts publicists here the other day And in an equally friendly spirit, the public relations men slapped him down. .. The drum beaters, showing unusually lively interest in the dead" game, point cd out that So many kids had turn ed out for baseball squads this spring that in many schools, Mich igan State, Western Michiean and Virginia to name just few, it had been necessary to organize "B" teams. . Even Junior Colleges are taking up the game and they claim the percentage of schools support ing teams is much greater than among the high schools, which now enjoy the protection of organized baseball

 Manager Frank Lefty) ODoul picked Larry Jansen for the mound, and his five-hit delivery last night gave the Seals 6-1 decision over the Sacramento Solons.
 Los Angeles manager Bill Sween- ey selected Red Lynn in hopes of catching up in the pennant chase with the yet-to-be headed Seals, and Lynn held the Portland Beav- CTS to four safeties in 80 shut out.
 The other two first division clubs, third ranking Oakland and the Hollywood Stars, also fattened their percentages at the expense of sec- end bracket teams. The Oakland Acorns downed the Seattle Rain iers, to 2, and Hollywood got an 8-5 decision in quarrelsome game with the San Diego Padres.

GAMBLING

Your guess is good as anybody else's
over the number of gambling houses that
were operating when Sheriff Sullivan. of
Dade county, said, few days ago, that
there was no gambling in Miami.
Too many of us wear dark glasses,
figuratively speaking, when we don't want
to see anything. In the United States, that
practice is far more common among politi-
clans than among groups in any other walk
of life.
!, Politicians, particularly if they are in
office, fail to see, according to their asser-
lions, law violations that are seen by every
body else.
AS for gambling, it is periodically
driven to cover in practically every city in
the country, but when the heat of so-called
righteous Indignation dies down, gambling
is resumed sometimes on a small scale.
while the gamblers feel the public official
pulse, and, at other times. it is resumed on
as extensive scale as before it was driven
to cover.
thousands of conscientious endeavors
have been made to stamp out gambling. but
1t Is inherent in the race; it comes up to us
from prehistoric times.
The worst thing about gambling is for
a man to lose money that should have
been used for the support of his family, and
the next worse thing is the frequent loss
OF precious sleep by a gambler.
Governor Caldwell, many Floridians
believe, has taken the right attitude about
gambling. He declared, and rightly, that
he wasn't elected to police the state, and
that if the people of city, in sufficient
numbers, don't want gambling, they will
be able to stop it themselves
Since the governor made that state
ment, The Citizen has been informed, his
mail contains few letters now that try to
place the blame for gambling on the sheriff
in each county. Many of the letters, as
Governor Caldwell probably surmised, had
as their object the removal of sheriffs from
office, and a good many of those letters
went up from Key West to him.
Let us assume that Caldwell would
have removed sheriffs because of the let
tiers he received complained about gambl-
ing in their counties, does anybody be-
lieve that the gambling would have been
stopped by the sheriffs' successors?
Gambling, at it's best if there is any
thing best" about it, is a waste of time,
and, at its worse, when a man loses who
can not afford to lose, it is an insidious
disease.

DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP

Once upon a time steamboats, did a
rushing business on the Mississippi River,
the Father of Waters.
After the iron horse" drove the stage
coach back into the barn, it found new
worlds to conquer. Eventually the railroads
paralleled the Mississippi River and cap
tured the freight and passenger business.
Even the "show boats capitulated. Then,
the railroads built new lines of tracks bor-
dering the Great Lakes, and took over most
of the transportation business.
When World War l was over the
United States Shipping Board was in oper-
alton. Then came the So-called Merchant
Marine Act of 1910, and the United States
Government declared that cit is necessary
for the National Defense and development
of its foreign and domestic commerce that
the United States shall have a Merchant
Marine sufficient to carry its domestic
water-borne commerce. That Act was
principally on account of pipe-dreams
about trade. We built wonderful ships in
recent years.
The anyways challenge ocean trans
portation and the railroads recognize the
fact that airplanes are certain to become
powerful competitors.
American steamships face active COM
petition from the airlines.
The skies and the ocean have gone
to battle in the name of transportation.
