The White Sox. early season surprises of the American league, , were tumbled out of first division i for the first time this season when Washington won its third straight I I victory, 4 to 3. in TO innings.

All in all he turned over $500,000 to the Red Cross. It was not generally known, but Rogers ( paid all expenses out of his own pocket and every cent that was paid for the "concerts” went to help the needy ones. For weeks he made one-night stands, ho(> ping from town to town with his troupe, speaking two and three* hours every night in a humorous vain. Those who were with him. said he seldom told the same; stories and gags twice. 1 On a flying trip to South America, he landed in Nicaragua just after a devastating earthquake in which many were killed and thousands left homeless. He immediately halted his trip to organize relief and personally donated $50,000 for the immediate needs of the victims. When working on a picture, Rogers always would find out in advance the number of days alloted for its completion. If, as often happened the production was finished ahead of schedule he'd get a copy of the payroll from the assistant director and pay the wages of everyone in the company with the exception of featured players, the director and others on high salary, for the full time. "Sometimes it’s a long time be- • tween pictures for theee folks,” ' he would explain, “and they need > all they can get. I'd hate to think > by speedin' up a bit I’d cheated s anybody outa their groceries.” > When a friend once spoke disparagingly of the community
