Down through the years baseball

produced a short" featuring Price
and narrated by the inimitable Pete
Smith.
Among the many incredible feats
developed by Johnny are a series Of
catches made while standing on his
head; batting while hanging from
his heels; upside-down throws and
group which he calls Twenty Ways
Not to Hit Baseball" Besides
these he has devised a number of
other amazing stunts such as throw
ing three balls at one time to three
different catchers, catching flies IN
jeep, tossing ball out of the park
with a sling, and catching fungoes
in his shirt or trousers.
AS though this imposing array was
not sufficient, the Indians unique
artist has another stunt. In it he
throws two baseballs into the air
and with one swing of the bat, drives
one forward to a waiting fielder and
one behind him to another receiver.
But all of these singular abilities
came as no accident to Johnny. More
than ten years ago he decided to de-
velop something that was "differ-
ent'' to fall back on in the event that
he failed as ballplayer. So he
began working on trick catches, then
on bunting in weird positions. Final
Iy, he tried hitting while hanging
upside down. At first that was ex-
tremely tough for the blood rushing
to his head limited the time he could
hang suspended. Slowly he became
used to it and now claims he can
remain in that position for eighteen
minutes.

THE sIMMERINc POT

34s
October 14,a week from tomorrow, is
the deadline for qualifying for the cleo
ton Of three city commissioners on Noyem-
Der A.
Only six names thus far appear in The
Citizens column, Political ANNOUNCE
ments.
With election less than month off,
this il the first time, SO far as The Citl-
zen can recall, that SO few candidates hap
announced for members of We city COM
mission. or. as it had been for many years,
the city council.
Months ago, The Citizen heard Of pros
pective candidates for the office Of COM
missioner, numbering more than dozen,
but only ane-half of that number are lined
up in The Citizep's column.
Even il the number Of candidates
should double before the closing date for
qualifying, it will be the smallest in the
history Of local politics for commissioner
Qr cpuncilnan.
ST In the old days, candidates for the
council numbered 20 or more. and in l845
the total il the race for city commission
was 70.
Prospective candidates have little time
to lose to get into the race. Should you
or YOU contemplate running for COM
missioner, no further time should be lost, in
formally informing the voters of Key West
that you are an aspirant for the office OF
commissioner. IS
The Citizen has heard that campaign-
ing for the office of commissioner will
be mild affair this time, but you never
can tell what is going ia happen in the
four weeks that lie ahead. Other cans
paigns that may be recalled locally that
appeared to be mild, but they turned out
to be "hot' before the coming of election
day. AS readers may recall, we have had
many an occasion to apply the word
apathy to campaigns, and then with
opt warning, the simmering pot boiled
over.

STOCK MARKET MYSTERY

- Somathines 4i---.sxrang with he- Stock.
Market barometer which has usually an
ticipated the trend in business activity.
The, economic experts are somewhat
amazed at the failure of stock price levels
to duplicate the trend of prices and to fol-
low unusual business activity. Despite pre-
dictions of INDUSTRIAL recession, business
and production have proceeded at high
levels and corporate profits h ave risen
even faster. HF
In the eight years since the war start
ed, living costs have gone up about 30 per
cent, wholesale raw material prices have
nearly doubled, the national income has
nearly tripled and corporation profits, af-
ter taxes, have more than quadrupled.
Ordinarily, one would expect stocks to go
up in harmony with the trend, but, as
Harold Fleming points out, "The average
price Of shares in these earnings has gone
up only about 25 to 40 per cent
The same writer calls attention to the
"astonishingly low values placed on cur
rent earnings by investors and traders,
Current share prices" he says, "are rough
ly about ten times current per-share
earnings. This is the lowest such appraisal
since around the bottom of the market in
the spring of 1912, at the time of Rataan,
when the Allied arms were suffering re-
versals all around the globe"
Mr. Fleming points out that in May.
1946, at the top of four-year bull mar
ket, the prices of stocks were slightly over
twenty times earnings and in 1929. the
price was closer to thirty times earnings.
We call attention to- these facts, not
to, indicate that anyone should invest i'm
stocks but to point out that usually some
kind of depression follows stock market
break or a pronounced bear market, This
was the sequence in 1929, 1920, 1907
and on back. 1t has not been the, case in
connection with the recent trend of stock
market prices. eae
