BRITISH TROOPS
RUSH TO PESHAWAR
Frontier Situation Officially
Described "of Considerable
Gravity and Danger"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOMBAY, India, August 16-Brit-
ish troops were hurried northward to-
day toward Peshawar. Northwest from
tier province, to deal with situation
which was described officially as "of
considerable gravity and danger" Mar
tial law, invoked yesterday, was IN full
force in the city and surrounding ter
ritory.
While the number of hostile tribes
men aield at this time was not large.
it was very difficult to engage them,
because of the nature of the terrain
and the extreme mobility of the raiders.
During the past few days the raiders
have invested parts of Peshawar, forced
their way into the supply depot and
done considerable damage, fred on the
environments in which the bungalows
of Europeans there are located, and at
one time they cut of all communication
with the city itself.
A lull in the situation has developed
Just now, while the tribesmen await
reinforcements. The Afridis on the
Khajuri Plain are expecting more. men
from the Kohat district, and their
Orakzai allies similarly are waiting in
the Khanki Valley.
The Hail of Turangzai is trying to
raise q military force in Bajur to help
the Afridids, while Red Shirt" bands
have been busy in the Charsadda dis
trict north of Peshawar. All sections
of the Afridis are now regarded as i'm
plicated in the revolt, but the Moh-
mands hitherto have shown themselves
averse to fighting.

The Soviet authorities, in fact expect
to reap a harvest this season because
more than 10000 Americans are ex-

A visit to one of the shops is like
turning over the pages of Russian his

Empress Catherine, Russia's most eX-

the late Empress Alexandra prayed; a

FEAR FRONTIER WAR.
Considerable Uneasiness Aroused In

Considerable Uneasiness Aroused in
London Over Reports.
LONDON, August 16 P).-Consid-
cradle uneasiness has been aroused here
by admissions in official announcements
at Simla, Indian Summer capital, that
serious situation exists on the Indian
Northwest frontier.
There is a Iairiy general expectation
here that a frontier war on a large
scale will develop as result of efforts
to crush the Afridi and other maraud-
ing tribesmen, who recently have threat
ened Peshawar, fortified city which
controls the important Khyber Pass.
Since Parliament is not in session,
the usual method of eliciting informa-
;ion--that is, by questions to the min
listers concerned-is unavailable. The
government itself is making no state
ments. so that the public has become
dependent for news on Indian official
communiques and the censored dis
patches of Indian correspondents, who.
it Is believed. are not allowed to tell all
they know of the situation.
The anti-government papers today
took a. gloomy view and inferred from
the SiInla announcements that the
position justified anxiety.

ALL Use MORE
THAN CURVE,
FAST ONE
BY BABE RUTH

NEW YORK, May I'll have
before me q letter that came in
recently from q fan In Omaha
And 1t gives me a new slant on
fan attituds toward pitchers.
~ notice that ballpIayers
always speak Of q curve and
a fast one as though those
two pitches were ali that
modern pitchers use. Don't
they have the old OutshoOt
and the inshOOt and the drop
and the OutdrOp that we used
to have when we were kids?"
The answer is, Of course they
do. And one pitchers curve is
very different from another
pitchers curve. Just as there is q
difference In fast balls and In
change of pace. Herbie Pennock
for instance. throws q sidearm
curve that Is like the old out
shoot we used to talk about "a
kids. But Herbie's best pitch Is
an overland curve that breaks
down and away like the old
fashioned outdrop.
Bob Groves curve breaks
sideways, and doesn't break
very far, but bends quickly
sort Of jumps away from the
hitter. Henry Johnson has .
drop curve that he starts at
the hitters waist and makes
IL break around the knees.
All of those are the old-fash
Toned curves we used to talk about
in our kid days. There are some
trick curves too. The screw bal
for instance-which wobbleS a lit
tie as 1t comes up. then fades
down and out. Garland Braxton
Of Washington, has Q curve ball
like that.
More important than the curve
ball to q big league pitcher, how
ever, Is the change Of pace. A
fellow like Grover Alexander has
the change Of pace mastered SO
we'll that you can hit against him
all afternoon. and he won't pitch
you two balls Of the same speed
The reason a change Of pace Is
effective is that it gets the hitter
off balance He misjudgeS the
speed and swings either too early
or too late to hit the ball Squarely
Walter Johnson had q fast
ball that was murderouS, for
it combined both speed and
. swell hop.
There's a big difference in fast
balls too. The fast ball is the
thing which as kids, we used to
call an inshoot. And strange as
1t may seem 1t isn't the speed
that makes a good fast ball but
the hop which the bal. has. The
ordinary fast ball hops in CHATS
why kids call 1t an inshoot) : Ane
some fellows with good fast ball
make that ball Jump five or si'
inches.
