Left Van Horn at 4:30 just Alyce Claire and I!  We had asked Betty and when she couldn’t we wanted Lenore but she couldn’t find anyone to play for her Sunday and had to refuse.   Arrived sin novedad in Van Horn about 11 their time – Saw Harry Mulroy, Mrs. Monk, Mr. Wheat and Mrs. Gorman – just visited.  I couldn’t bring myself to take Alyce Claire to the show when it was only a Western!

Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:

The Cuba hurricane made landfall in Camagüey Province.

The Cubs’ 21-game winning streak was snapped by the Cardinals by a score of 7-5

Bought ice box dishes and arranged everything to leave for Van Horn –

Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:

The Chicago Cubs won the National League pennant with a 6-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cubs also won the second game of their doubleheader 5-3 to run their consecutive game winning streak to 21 games. This winning streak is tied for second-longest in major league history, but it’s the longest in history to be uninterrupted by a tie.

Popeye goes to New Orleans.
