Farrel of West Palm, was the losing pitch- er, while Fritz’ was behind the plate. Robinson and Zydiak of the Flyers were the winners.

The victory kept Birmingham’s record against its favorite opponent perfect. Mo- bile has lost all six of its games with the Barons this season.

The stocky Fort Worth girl ha: won four of the last six Southerns and is in a good position to grab an unprecedented fifth. She got past perhaps her toughest foe yes- terday when she whipped medalist Mary Lena Faulk, the National Amateur champion from Thomas- ville, Ga., 3 and 2. Miss Riley met Mary Ann Vil- legas of New Orleans today at 2 p.m. Polly obviously was pleased with her triumph over Miss Faulk. It gave her a measure of revenge for tthe loss to Mary Lena in the finals of the National Amateur. “I don’t think I'll run up against another that tough in this tourna- ment,” Polly said. “‘At least I hope not.” Both girls played top golf—Polly ‘was one under men’s par, Mary Lena two over—but Miss Faulk termed her opponent’s short game unbeatable. Miss Ritey had nine » Wallace seemed com-| port, pletely bewildered by his light- punching opponent. In only two rounds did he manage to rough Gilliam up.

Fortunately the problem of selecting tight isn’t difficult. ‘The main issue is simply this: are we to have power politics and machine politics for the benefit of the politicians and their favored friends at the expense of the people; or are we to have a free Florida with a government of high principle and integrity dedicated to hard work to advance the welfare of all the people? Along with machine politics always goes the typical campaign promising of everything to everybody. What is hidden from your view are the selfish interests, the secttonalism, the disappointments, the wastes, the failures that do not show up until after the shackles are set'and it is too late to throw them off. History of other states shows that it takes years and years for people to free themselves, if they ever do, from the bondage of plundering, wasteful, economy- sapping machine politics once they start. _.
