While the long discussion and
action goes on about The airport,
I'm thankful for the smaller inn
provements made in the sports
whirl in Key West.
Lately completed was a con-
crete tennis court in BaYview
Park. Constructed for the use
of all Conchs. it stands today to
become a shrine of many a hot
fought tilt.
At the last city commission
meeting, $1,000. was appropriated
for the payment of the newly
constructed court, thus leaving
something the city can we'll be
proud of.
This Improvement and many
others were sOrely needed for the
enjoyment and promotion of good
craftsmanship among our newer
generation.
Tennis fans were badly crowd
ed on the two asphalt courts in
Bayview Park until the new con-
crete sports court was completed.
Although the backstops and net
are not in tact yet, they will be
shortly.
With this additional court the
locals are enabled to produce full
scale championship competition.
No longer will they have to con-
tend with slow moving matches.
Three other courts are also
being built at the County Beach.
These. along with the three at
BaYview Park will easily boost
tennis in our city.
Key West, if worked right, can
set an example for other cities in
the state who have not already
built similar courts. Of course
there are only three courts at
present, but this can be carried
into larger scale project.
Other cities have benefited
many sports facilities. The city
that has a good baseball and
football stadium. tennis courts.
shuffleboard courts for the
3 winter visitors. and good golf
course will double its invest
ments in short order.
Florida is noted as the country's
winter playground and vacation
land. Let's give the vacationists
and ourselves a break by in

Her playing yesterday
was steady and unruffled.
There was no pressure on
her in this final round, fol-
her lead was so wide none
OF the field could possibly
catch her, barring an act of
God. 1t was her third time
around in 80 strokes. Her
first round of 80 gave her a
lead over the fair.
Playing close to mems
par over most of the course,
She shot an "a and would
have broken 80 if it hadn't
been for some bad luck to-
ward the end of the Is. AT
ter that, her lead was too
large and the pressure was
off.
Piedad Archer came through
yesterday with the lowest round
although her hold on second place
was strong enough that she could
have stroked much higher and
still been sure of the runner-up
spot. Her first three rounds of 80,
100, and 80 gave her FIVE stroke
advantage over Julia Nelson at
the three-quarter mark. She
widened it to 16 strokes by yes
terday's low round.
Mrs. Kay Faraldo had a three
stroke lead over Piedad Archer
for second place honors at the
end of three rounds. Her rounds
of 100, 81, 81 gave her a total of
288 at the three-quarter mark
while Mrs. Archer had 291. She
was forced to drop out of the play
Julia Nelson's 100 was a little
above her average for the tourn-
ament She shot SO, 95, and l03
in the first three rounds, giving
her total for the tourney of 1896.
Marion Caruthers, in fourth, had
1l3, 81, 100 and 107 for a 426 total
Ann Witzel shot 100, ia, lis, 102
for Ash. Besides Kal Faraldo, Rose
Gavilan withdrew, after shooting
rounds of 90, 104, and 103. Peggy
Harris had 95, l02, and l03, and
Wahneta Kovash had SO, LOT, and
103 before they withdrew.
Marion Kinsey and Lou Duke
dropped out after shooting rounds
of 100, 107, 100 and ia respective
". Nell Lopez had first round
no.
Rosemary Mathews won the
JayShees big trophy for her sec
ond tournament victory. Both she
and Piedad Archer got additional
prizes of golfing merchandise.
Scores were also figured on a
net basis. Although Rosemary
net of 900 was low, and Piedad
Archer's 296 next, these scores
were not counted in figuring the
winners of the handicap competi-
ton. They had won prizes already
and were considered ineligible.
Consequently, Ann Witzel with
a net of 307 and Julia Nelson with
a 312 after handicap won the top
honors in this division.

co.
Evening star., 1951-09-06
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

CHICAGO. Sept. GA lot OF
old superstitions and misbeliefs
are dying out. a psychologist says
But new ones keep cropping up
and the A-bomb probably will
spawn a lot more.
Many superstitionS or miscon-
ceptions current in 1925 appar-
emily are becoming extinct. DR.
Eugene Levitt Of Columbia Uni
versity yesterday told the Ameri-
can Psychological Association.
Such as:
Children are born with instinc-
tive knowledge of good or evil.
Certain lines in a persons hand
foretell his future.
Stare at a persons back, and
you can make him turn around.
Women are inferior to men in
intelligence. But they're purer and
better by nature.
"Sign of Willpower."
A square jaw Is a sign of will
power, and a high forehead means
you're bright.
You can get any mental or
physical disease just by thinking
of it.
The person who doesn't look you
in the eye is probably dishonest.
DR.. Levitt gave a list of these
and other superstitions and mis-
beliefs to 110 college students. He
compared their answers with the
same QUESTIONABLE given to 219
college students in 1925.
Far smaller percentages still
thought the statements were true,
he said. The students in 1925 be-
lieved more than 10 apiece OF a
long list of false beliefs, while to-
days students believed in less than
two apiece.
But, he said, Prof. Richard
Youtz of Barnard College. tried a
somewhat different list on other
students. This showed that many
false beliefs still are pretty current
today.
Like: All criminals are feeble
minded: the American Indian sees
better than the white man; the
complexity of life is causing more
insanity: the color red excites a
bull dts waving anything, OF any
color, he explained); men Judge by

Dewey Escaped Injury
On Rail Car During
4O,OOO-MiIe Flight
By Roy Borst

NofIH AmgTlSdu ENeW1PoPSf <thSl~U
ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 6.-Gov.
Dewey, on his tour of the Far
East, flew more than 10000 miles
without incident but he narrowly
escaped a serious SmaSh-up on
land after leaving Kotzebue,
Alaska, where he dined with
EskimoS inside the Arctic Circle
last week.
From Kotzebue, the governor
flew 500 miles south to Nenana on
his way to Mount Mckinley Ma
tional Park. At Kenana, Gov.
Dewey and his party climbed into
two automobiles. the wheels of
which were equipped with steel
flanges, and rode 70 miles over
the railroad. tracks to the park.
The return trip to Nenana the
next morning was made in the
rain, and the second car, plowed
into Gov. Dewey's car at 40 miles
an hour because of the slippery
rails. The occupants of both au-
tos were shaken up but no one
was hurt. Both cars were badly
damaged, and track workers had
difficulty prying them apart.
The railroad tracks ran
through the famous 10-mile Mana
River canyon, which in some
places drops off to a depth of 400
feet. 1t seemed that just where
the canyon was the deepest the
tracks were the closest to the
edge.
1t frequently was necessary for
the automobiles to travel 70 miles
an hour over the twisting railroad
track-there was only one track
to reach siding so there wouldn't
be a dead heat with passenger
or freight train.
On one occasion, while we were
racing for a siding, we could see
a train coming in the opposite di-
rection. We reached the siding,
with only a minute to spare.

'A-Bomb Seen Likely to Spawn
New Crop of Superstitions

reason and women by feelings and
Intuition.
New Crop of Mis- Beliefs.
DR.. Levitt said he didn't believe
that people "are any less super
stitious today than 25 years ago.
In fact, he said. world tension
and the A-bomb probably are
causing a brand-new crop of mis-
beliefs.
People know the A-bomb is
important to them, but their
knowledge of it is limited. and
they are apt to grasp hold of only
straw facts. People become
anxious, and want to have some
thing definite to believe in. They
don't have the actual information,
but they have need to know
something. People who grasp at
such beliefs are also the kind who
believe and spread rumors."
