)The visitors failed to score in
the fifth, but things looked good
for the Saints scoring again in this
canto when Burke, the second man
up, got a two-bagger on a h'it down
, the third base line. He advanced
to third on a hit by Harden, who
was out at first, and the inning.
ended when Dallas Weeks was out
on an infield fly, leaving the fast-
running Burke to die on third.
Blountstown tied the score in
the sixth when a runner came in
from second on a long hit to right
field. *The Saints were again in a
position to take the lead' here when
Mitchell got to first on a Texas
leaguer and the -catcher made an
overthrow to second trying to
catch him on a steal. He rounded
fhird at sixty per, but was caught
out at home hi a close decision
by Umpire Ralph Swatts. Herring
got to first and advanced to third
on a two-base hit to centerfield by
McCall. However, Alton Dendy
was the third casualty on a short
-fly. The score, 3- 3.
SBlountstown's first sac.ker man-
aged to get home in the seventii
in spite of his weight to give the'
-visitors a one-run lead'. St. Joe
failed to score, although Burke
got to 'first on a fumbled hit by
the third baseman. This seemed to
irritate the Blountstown catcnei,
and he picked up the bat dropped
by Burke and threw it at him ca
he was streaking to first, missing
him by a narrow margin. BotAi
Referee Jake Belin and Swatts


reprimanded the catcher severely
but left him in the.game in spite
of pleas by the spectators that he
be taken out due to his unsports-
manlike behavior. Davidson, the
first man up, had made the iirst
out and on a hit by Harden, Burke
was caught at second and Harden
at first in a double play.
The Saints put the game on ice
in the eight by scoring four runs
in their half after Blountstown
had failed to.score off the pitching
of Terry Hinote who relieved Da-
vidson in this frame.
Weeks was walked and Belin
got to second, on his hit to third
when the third baseman made a'n
overthrow to second in an attempt
for a double play, Weeks going to
third. Mitchell was out on a high
foul to the first baseman and Her-
ring was out on a long fly to cen-
terfield, 'but Weeks came in from
third after the ball was caught to
tie the score. Frank Hannon then
walked and Belin came in on a
passed 'ball by the catcher. DenuLy
was walked, Hannon stealing sec-
ond and third in the meantime.
With Hinote at bat, Dendy stole
to second and' Hinote hit a two-
bagger to left field, scoring Han-
.non and Dendy. Burke was out
at first for the third out.
Blountstown managed- to shove
over one more counter in the ninth
on two hits and a walk given 'by
Hinote when the ball hit the batter
but that was the end of the raIy
and also of the game. Final score
7 5 in favoor of the Saints.

BELL BOTTOM TROUSERS
The ditty, "Bell Bottom Trousers," may
soon have the nostalgic note of "A Bicycle
Built for Two" if efforts to change the sailor
'uniform are successful. Critics of the 'ld unl-
form point out that modern ship facilities take
much of the wind out of the argument for the
practicability of the traditional uniform lett
over from the days of wood and sail. Some of
the older men in the service feel that while
the "monkey suit" may have a certain jaunti-
ness on the youngsters, it does not lend dig-
nity to age.
On the other hand, there is no getting
away. from the fact that a man-of-war's man
with his present outfit can cruise for a year
with no more than a scrubbing brush, a whisk
broom .and, a little shoe polish, and look as
neat and smart on his first liberty as he ever
did. The creases in the collar, like the reverse
seam creases in the "bell bottoms," are al-
ways there after being stowed in a seabag
with seamanlike skill.
For years the male civilian has been adopt-
ing more and more the bluejacket's neckline
in business, after knowing its comfort in
sportswear. ;. ._ .
Many an old navy hliand feels .that when
"the fleet's in" and a tide of battlejackets in-
stead of bluejackets, overseas caps instead of
jaunty flat hats, begins to roll down the
street, "something about a sailor" will be
gone.

Liberty Ship Wrecks
Bridge At Pensacola

Squalls whipped this section of
the Gulf coast Monday and while
no damage was reported in Port
St. Joe. other sections' did not get
'off lightly.
At Pensacola and vicinity gusts
up to 80 miles an hour were re-
corded and, four freighters in, Pen-
sacola. Bay dragged anchor at the
height of the storm and careened
into t h e three-mile-long bridge
,leading to the city. One of them,
a Liberty freighter, smashed com-
pletely through the span, carrying
away nearly 1000 feet of the con-
crete structure. The vessel suf-
fered only minor damage, but dam-
age to the bridge was placed at
around $500,000. The bridge may
be out the rest of this year, aad
traffic to Pensacda is being routed

THE DREAM IS ENDING
Every dream must end. The American
dream of coming out of the worst war in his-
tory better off than at' the start of the war,
is being dispelled. It was an unhealthy dream
in which public debt was called savings, wages
were unrelated to prices, and profits were
evil. The coal strike and a fuel famine in in-
dustry are helping to bring us down to earth.
Condemnation of Mr. Lewis and his Unitec
Mine Workers by high officials sound more
like frustrated hysteria than the formidable
warning of an outraged government.
The position of the government is unten-
able and everybody knows it. The striking
miners are doing nothing that is not permis-
sible in the dream world in which we have
been living. They have simply taken the
dream at face value as it has been peddled to
them by a partisan government for many
years. They are out to get their share of ttle
dream. Their action has now been termed a
"national disaster" by the, administration, and
yet the highest officials in government have
maintained that wages can go up while prices
are held down.
The real disaster is this dream-world rea-
soning. Onesided labor laws, prejudicial wage
and price tinkering, over-riding of property
rig-hts, general derision 6f 'the efforts of bust-
ness men to keep solvent and maintain private
employment these, were all part of the
dream, inspired by high-riding public servants
and labor leaders.who seemed not to cart,
what happened so long as they remained in
the good graces of their rfollowers.
Well, the dream is ending. It now remain%
to be seen whether the American people can
get the sleep out of their eyes before the
is a thing of the past. The miners' demands,
right to private property and, personal liberty
if acceded to, can control management and
confiscate earnings. They would set a pattern
for like action in every industry.

Pastor Takes In Cuba

(Continued from Page 1)
cidentalily, we were able to use our
American money, which has the
same value as Cu0ban money.
We were shown to "Restauarnt
Paris," a rather imposing-looking
building, where we decided to
have our lunch. The ceiling had' an
opening in the top and there were
no screens, as. -bugs and flies were
almost lacking. The menu was In
'English-fortunately so. The food
was quite delicious, 'but very ex-
pensive. What we would call a
plate lunch was about $1.60.
After lunoh the guide showed us
through several cathedrals, both
old and comparatively new. We
continued stressing our desire to
visit the Baptist temple uritil he
took us down town to it. Our visit
with the American missionaries
an. 1 their students in the seminary
was a source of great delight to
us. Although almost every Cuban
!s a Catholic. we found that Bap-
tists' and Protestnats have had a
rather fruitful ministry in that
land.
The peculiarities, of the city
were many and fascinating. It has
very old buildings and' customs
along" wIth the new. Most of the
streets are very narrow and the
sidewalks are coirespondin-gly soo.
Downtown the apartment houses
open directly onto the sidewalks,
just as our business houses here
in the States. Most of the streets
':' on-'-way, and the- autos pass
on both sides. There is a constant
and loud honking of horns, and
how anyone survives seems to be
'simply a matter of "survival of
the fittest:"
We were shown through the
large city cemetery, whioh was
most interesting. The graves are
built mostly of marble. Next to the
head of the grave is a smaller
'grave in which they place the
bones after the body has been
buried for three years. In other
words, a body is allowed to remain
in a grave for only three years. At
the end of this period, for whicn
there is a chai'ge o'f $12, the bones
are removed, placed in the smaller
grave at the head, and another
body is placed .i- the large grave.
One of the most interesting
places was the beautiful Culba,
capitol building. It was built at i
cost of $17,000,000 and contains
about 16 different kinds of marble.
The ceilings arie done, for the most
part, in bronze and 22-karat gold.
One walks about in' it awe-stricken.
The Cubans have a strong sense
of nationalism and independence,
hence they are very proud. of
their government, which is pat-
terned after that of the United
States.
The guide showed us many beau-
tiful homes, both Cuban and Anm-
erican. One interesting feature was
the complete kIc.k of screens, even.
on the very finest Cuban homes.
