As might be expected the World Champion New York Yankees set the pace in establishing new records, both for team and individual play. Most important of the new fgiures was the performance of the Yan- kees in breaking the American League record and equalling the modern major league mark of four straight pennants.

CAPONE TRIPPED UP The case of Al Capone is one of different flavor, but the law came in through -the back gate to gef him, also. As the principal rackets eer of the tempesutuos Twenties, he was suspected of all sorts of crimes. While members of his var- fous “mobs” were caught op time after time, Capone escaped, rarely even being questioned. But the mass feeling that “somes thing ought to be done about it" . found expression in an odd way. He was convicted of income tax chisel- ing and served a term in hard- boiled Alcatraz, where mighty few other tax dodgers have been sent. e S e AUTOMOBILE OWNERS TAKE NOTICE The law provides a penalty for automobiles appearing on the streets after January 1, without the 1940 License Plates.
