George is 6-5% and weighs 240 entry and a Johnny-Come-Lately for he has been a professional less than a year and has played infinitely less golf than most 29-year-old pros. George os 6-5% and weighs 240 pounds, For four years, he was a terror at tackle for the Univer- sity of Washington and then took @.one year fling with the Wash- ington Redskins. He was All Pacifie Coast. He has hands that can palm medium sized watermelons and he’d be a very comforting com- panion in any sort of riot or civil commotion. George uses a fourteen and a half ounce driver with a shaft an inch longer than standard but the thing still looks like a fragile s.|wand in the grip. ofthis young je listeners, this was a reversal of Casey's previous plans. that Byrd had beaten Chicago before and Grim had been knocked around in the ae series with Cleveland. It was the second time this se: son he did, but yesterday’s was the costly one, The Yankees couldn't get a de- cent hit off Coleman. The only one was due td Baltimore’s bumpy in- field. A hit by Enos Slaughter inthe eighth inning took a bad hop over second baseman Bobby Young’s head for a single. Otherwise, the Yankees got only two men: to second base and they were due to walks and wild throws by Coleman. a Sea Secrets are prepared by the Marine Laboratory of the University of Florida, acting as official fisheries research agen- cy for the Florida State Board of Conservation. Ques- tions are welcome and should be addressed to the Secrets, in care of this newspaper. Q—How does radiobuoy oper- ate? K. L. Marriot, Ft. Lauder- dale, Fla, A—A radiobuoy is a floating radio transmitter. The purpose of this device is to provide a means by which fishing gear may be found. Each buoy is made so that it ‘transmits only the call signal of the vessel to which it belongs, thus enabling the owning vessel to find it regardless of weather or visibility. The buoy’s lower sec- tion, which is cylindrical, contains a small transmitter on a 12-volt battery. Capping this cylinder, by means of a water-tight connection, is a cone, which, in turn, is sur- mounted by a hollow mast. Atop the mast is a light and an aerial, similar to those. used on automo- biles. Tha, transmitter has a nor- mal range of 25 miles for a 60- hour period. Q—Why are purse seines illegal in Florida? T. B. Campbell, Ft. Pierce, Fla. A.—Actually purse seines are legal for one type of fishing, and that is for menhaden, a fish made into meal and oil. They are illegal in Florida for catching food fish, and the reason is that they are efficient ,and it is thought that they catch too many fish. Purse seines can make large catches and they support highly valuable fish- eries in many parts of the world, particularly in the herring and salmon fisheries. There is a strong doubt that this prohibition is proper. It is considered improp- er management of fisheries to malize fishing gear merely be- * cause it is efficient, and many conservationists regard the out- lawing of purse seines as wrong. If restricted catches are necessary to protect stocks, the reduction should be made in some other way than by penalizing efficien- ey. Forcing the use of inefficient gear means that the fisherman must bet —_ ar asa ae ing his ca more fish- — share smaller Modern whalers catch more wha-|this time exclude the possibility Jes in a week than oldtimers did|that heavy cigarete smoking and a yeas. giant. “I concentrate on ac- curacy,” says George.

He never acquired it. By ROBERT E. GEIGER WASHINGTON i) — A govern- ment researcher said today heavy cigarette smokers now 40 years old have from 5 to 15 times great- er a chance than nonsmokers of developing lung cancer before they are 8. He is Sidney J. Cutler, staff statistician at the National Cancer Institute at nearby Bethesda, Md., who emphasized that nobody has “Tt is fairly clear that whatever the casual mechanism may be, smokers are more likely to develop lung cancer than nonsmokers.” Cutler’s paper was one of sev- eral, dealing with relationships be- | tween cigarette smoking and can- | cer cases, prepared for the Inter- national Congress of Pathology, a| conference on the causes of di-| sease which is being attended by specialists from many parts of the | | world. | The American Cancer Society an- | nounced last June that one of its | studies showed that cigarette | smokers 50 to 70 years old died earlier, in groups that were stu- died, than other men. But many scientists have said there is no con- clusive evidence that cigarettes themselves bring on cancer. The tobacco industry has said more. study is needed to determine causes of cancer and heart di- sease, and has set up an industry study committee, headed by Dr. Clarence Cook Little. Little has said he subscribed to a statement that ‘one cannot at expressions of a more fundamental cause of a constitutional or hor- mone nature.” Dr. Johannes Clemmesen of the Danish Cancer Registry, Copen- hagen, in a statement prepared for today’s meeting, said: “In spite of many factors which may be expected to obscure the results it appears that there is a distinct correlation between the |mumber of cigarettes consumed in the various countries . . . and the height of their national mortality from lung cancer.” Dr. Nils Ringertz of Sabbateberg Hospital, Stockholm, said it is doubtful if such things as air pollu- tion by smoke and similar sub- stances are important factors, on a worldwide basis, in the rise in lung cancer deaths. He added “there is strong but so that tebacco . smoking, especially cigarette smoking, is the most im- Portant exogenous (external) fac- tor causing the main part of the lung cancer cases.” Another panel spéaker, Pao Chang-hou of Hong Kong, said in and work with mice have not proved a relationship between to- bacco and cancer. Cutler noted that during the.past 20 years the reported . mortality from lung cancer in the United States has increased by 400 per cent. He said his statistical studies show these prospects faced by men now 40 years old of reaching age 80 without suffering lung cancer: Nonsmokers — 6 men out of 1,000 the tendency to cancer are both 5 . |will suffer lung cancer.

Bayer came along, / nder- son was the pro’s unofficial choice as the longest hitter in their ranks. George’s most sensational tee shot came on the recent Tam O’Shanter tourney when he used a one iron on the 250 yard eighth. No one can claim he under club- bed as he holed out. In another exhibition match, a spectator was struck on the first bounce by one of George’s booming tee shots when he was 420 yards away. There was a following wind but they hadn’t raised any storm warnings and the small craft were still at sea. The second hole at Tam is 490 yards with water in. front of the green. Many have a go at it with wood seconds and Snead has been home with a drive and a full iron. From the back of the tee and with a cross wind, Bayer was 20 yards over the green with a drive and a four iron. George has one peculiarity that a lot. of stylists will “‘tut, tut.” At the top of his back swing, his heel never leaves the ground. “It’s for accuracy,” he says. ‘I have to stay in the fairway.” Today George Bayer’s name is bruited about wherever profes- sionals gather. “ “I don’t claim a thing,” says the young giant. “I just swing naturally and hope they stay in the fairway. Putting is lots hard: er than driving, anyway.” Bonus Baby Makes Comeback Now he is plagued with a sore arm, Kennedy, at 32, thinks if he can work often enough for the Colts, he may overcome this ail- ment and—maybe—get back into the big time. But for the present, he holds up the arm and says: “It’s hanging there; that’s all.” Mooers, captivated by the blazing fast ball Kennedy had shown at Amelia, Va., High, signed the er- ratic pitcher in 1942. He finished out that season with the Colts, the Richmond, winning one, los- ing two. 12-Game Winner In ‘49 Kennedy's best year with the Giants was 1949 when he worked 223 innings and posted a 12-14 re- cord. He was 5-4 in 1940, growing wilder all the time. The Giants just about gave up on him in 1951 and he worked 68 innings, winning one, losing two. In 1952 he finish- ed 3-4 and last year went without a decision while pitching just B innings. “ 7 The Giants sent Kennedy to Minneapolis last spring but he was optioned to Richmond’s new Inter- national League team. Tie Vir- ginians released him. Kennedy tried healing his sore arm playing semi-pro baséball for a few weeks. The Mooers persuad- ed him to sign with CH-Petersburg. Government Researcher Says Smokers Are 9 To 15 Times More Likely To Get Lung Cancer : cigarettes a day) — 25 in 1,000 will get lung cancer. Those smoking about one pack a day — 49 out of 1,000 will get lung cancer. More than one pack a day — 80 out of 1,000 men will get lung cancer, Cutler estimated the risk may Tange from 5 to 15 times greater for the heavy smokers — more than one pack a day — compared with the nonsmokers.

Friday, September 10, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 9 Hal Boyle Says NEW YORK Sidewalk scrawlings of a Pavement Plato: One of the most commonly used observations in the English lan- guage is the saying, “Money isn’t everything, i But, oddly, I have very rarely heard @ rich man make this re- mark, and I can’t recall ever hay- ing-heard a rieh woman say it; Women generally haye a greater Tespect for the power of money than men do, probably because ‘for centuries they had a harder time getting hold of any. There are millions of husbands who, as a matter of principle, would never think of going through their wives’ purses or handbags. But if any married woman told me that never in her lifetime had she secretly searched the pockets of her husband’s trousers, I would put her down as a brazen liar. Nor do I believe there ever lived a mother who didn’t, at one time or another, explore the pockets of her son’s clothing. Men’s pockets are an irresistible challenge to a ‘woman’s curiosity. Yet few feminine idiosyncrasies exasperate a man more than this one. He doesn’t feel he should have to padlock his pants and can’t un- derstand, anyway, the mysterious fascination his pockets hold for, first, his mother, and later his wife. Once I asked a lady if she had any explanation for this old fem- inine trait, and she said: “Certainly. Any woman knows the easiest way to find out what is on her. husband’s mind is to see what he has in his pockets.” Maybe you think your wife doesn’t do this. Put a mouse trap in your pocket every night and see. It’s an even bet that within a week your wife will be complaining of a bruised finger. We. live in an age that craves security, but the greatest feeling of security I know is to lie in a warm bed at night and look out at a violent late summer lightning and rain storm. All nature is crying havoc outside,. and great trees are tugging at their root anchors like maddened elephants in chains. But you are inside, snug and safe, thrilled to the heart’s core by the primeval joy of victory over the elements. In a gray universe it is foolish to yearn for perfect pleasures, un- tainted happiness. Wisdom comes with the realization that every hell has its ounce of heaven, every heaven its pound of hell, No polished phrases by literary writers can equal in aptness or homely warmth the country folk sayings of America’s past. My favorite, common in rural sections of Missouri, is the expression often used by a guest to show his ap- preciation to a hostess who has gone to unusual trouble to fix a fine meal: “My, you certainly did put the big pot in the little one!” The other day at a drugstore lunch counter I overheard one that to me, at least, was new. One girl, discussing a chronic griper, said to her friend, “‘Oh, him! He'd find something to complain about even with a loaf of bread under his arm.” Two Wounded, One Dead In Love Dispute WEST PALM BEACH (#—Two persons were critically wounded and a third was dead today as the result of a triple shooting near here. John R. Hiatt, county investiga- tor, said Ed Lewis, 51-year-old carnival concessionaire, apparent- ly wounded his wife, Gertie Mae, 33, and Aaron Kidd, 26, Punta Gorda, and then took his own life late yesterday. ‘It is felt that Lewis did the shooting, but a great deal more of an investigation must be made to verify this feeling or to de- termine what did happen,” Hiatt said. Investigation revealed that Kidd and Mrs. Lewis left together about three months ago and returned only Wednesday, Hiatt said, That night Lewis executed an instru- ment in. the form of a will, leaving his. possessions to a friend. Hiatt said he learned that trouble had been brewing for a long time and that Lewis had threatened to kill Kidd. The shooting occurred on the property of Arne C. Abrahamson who reported the trio arrived in a truck loaded with Mrs. Lewis’ belongings and went to a barn to get her sewing machine. He said Lewis ordered him to stay behind and a few minutes later he heard shots and saw the woman and Kidd making their way back from the barn, both seriously wounded. Lewis’ body was found shortly afterward. Hiatt said Mrs. Lewis was shot just above the heart and Kidd was wounded in the forehead. Lewis was killed with a .22 caliber re- volver bullet fired into his right ear, Hiatt added.
