Huggins later be- came famous with the Yankees. Tobert is menager of the Phil adelphia Phillies. Tobert was the fastest man to circle the bases in his day. In Kéy West, he ran around them in 13 seconds. Agui- lar of Key West did it in 13 and one-fifth seconds, Lee Pierce in 13 and two-fifths seconds. The White Ste were the champions for six and in 1910 to 1914, Kelle Sluggers were the champs. Kelley had Charley Sorordo, Nilo Leon, Brown, Perez Corcho from Tam- pa. Thevyewere hard to beat. In 1912, Clements Jaycocks gave them the only complete out fit * club has ever had in this citv. Shinguards, gloves, _ bats. balls and suits were included. Each player had a coat to go with his suit. It was one of the best clubs, in my opinion, ever to revr nt Key West.

We come then to the question as to what will make for peace- ful living and a minimsm of con- tention and friction. Only through ccoperation can we reduce such contention. Firing squads can not do it. Nations attempt in one way or another to work out what they call “manifest destiny.” This will be done peacefully, if possible, but , by war, if netessary. “How *can this manifest destiny ided be lift- ed out of the domain ef competi- tion and exploitation as among nations and put upon a universal or planetary basis? How shall we satisfy the needs of individuals and nations and persuade them that what people and _ peoples want can be attained without the losses and destruction attendant upon war? How can we sub- stitute an understanding of his- tory for the hysteria that affects so many from time to time?
