I that got them to Vegas in 2 hrs. and 45" m'in.; and returned the same evening. Leo reported good success at roulette and as for Boots ,he reportedly won enough ; at the fights so it didn't matter whether he won anything in Las Vegas or not. THEY'RE REAL ... Not all pilots get the cooperation cooperat-ion from their wives that Ruth gave Boots. There was the one who told his wife he was going t on an XC, and she said not without with-out her, and he said yes, and she said no, and the next thing he know she let go with a flying saucer, and it knocked him cold; so now he figures he has the answer ans-wer to flying saucer mystery. Who was he? All we can say, with safety, is that it couldn't have been Leon Theobald. Were we to say it was, we might be dodging flying saucers ourselves. FREEDOM FROM DODGERS . . . Gov. Dewey recently vetoed a legislative bill to permit the Brook lyn Dodgers to charge two admissions admis-sions for split double headers. His explanation was that this is still a free country. Dewey is known to hate dictatorships, dictat-orships, and it is good to know that as long as he is governor of N. Y. the people won't have' to stand dictation from Dem Bums. SOUR NOTE ...

At the fights Saturday night, June Hinckley made everybody stand up until he was ready for them to sit down again. He opened open-ed the program by singing the National Anthem. Everybody stood up, that is, except one, and I was that one. This indicated no lack of patriotism, however. I played June's accompaniment on the piano, pi-ano, and not being able to do that standing up I was the only person of the hundreds in the hall to remain seated. Incidentally, it was a good thing June sang before rather than after af-ter the fights. He yelled so hard for Rawlinson to lick Warner that at the end of that great battle he didn't have any voice left. True, he tried a little singing later on, something about Cocoanuts, but is wasn't very musical, nor did I accompany him on the piano. I was accompanying him on the sidewalk at that time. WEARS PANTS ... Boots Done wants everybody to know that he wears the pants in his family. Two weeks ago, Wing-overs Wing-overs intimated that he might not make that XC to Las Vegas, because be-cause Ruth was well, noncommital about it.
